Chapter 89

Red Leaf Manor is a beautiful sight, with the mountains covered in red leaves, creating a breathtakingly vibrant landscape.

Early in the morning, Ye Taixuan ordered his servants to go to the nearby market to buy a fine coffin, as well as paper money for the dead, burial clothes, and other items, and also invited a Taoist priest.

These are not difficult tasks for Red Leaf Manor.

After a busy morning, everyone placed Ye Hongyi’s body in a coffin, a Taoist priest performed a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife, and then the body was buried in the back mountain.

There is a place on the back mountain that is specifically for burying the ancestors of Red Leaf Villa. It is said to be a feng shui treasure land. We simply asked a feng shui master to select a good burial site and then laid them to rest.

After a busy day, they quickly finished handling Ye Hongyi’s funeral arrangements. They didn’t invite any martial arts friends; only Chen Chijiao and a few others were there.

However, I believe this matter will soon spread throughout the martial arts world, and even the whole world will know about it. After all, the death of Ye Hongyi, one of the four grandmasters known as the “Sword Master”, is a major event!

The reason they were in such a hurry was that Ye Taixuan and the others all had their own selfish motives.

Ye Taixuan had long coveted Yao Youwei and wished he could strip her naked and enjoy her body.

As soon as Ye Hongyi was buried, he returned in the evening and summoned Ye Jingyun, Hua Yushu, Yao Ye and others to invite Yao Youwei and Ye Ruiyun to the main room. He also ordered the servants to bring out the best wine and food.

“Sister-in-law, please take a seat!” Ye Taixuan respectfully invited Yao Youwei to sit in the seat that Ye Hongyi used to occupy.

Yao Youwei glanced around and saw that everyone around her had a close relationship with Ye Taixuan, but not with her, which made her wary.

She chuckled and said, “Uncle, you don’t need to be so polite. Now that Hongyi has passed away, you should be the new master of Red Leaf Manor. Ruiyun and I are just women, and we are not worthy of your grand gesture.”

Ye Taixuan laughed and said, “Oh, sister-in-law, what are you saying? Although my elder brother has passed away, you are still my sister-in-law, and I must respect you no matter what. Oh, by the way, I wonder what you’ve thought about remarrying?”

“What remarriage? When did I ever say I wanted to remarry?” Yao Youwei’s charming round face darkened slightly.

Hua Yushu chuckled and said, “Miss Yao, that’s not right of you. Before he passed away, Uncle told us that you should remarry Uncle Ye. Do you have any doubts about Master Ye’s decision? That would be disrespectful to Master Ye. It’s pitiful that Master Ye sacrificed his life for Red Leaf Manor and for the righteous path of the martial world, yet Miss Yao refuses to even grant his dying wish. It’s truly…sigh!”

“You… shameless!” Yao Youwei’s pretty face turned pale with anger at his eloquent words.

Ye Ruiyun coldly shouted, “Hua Yushu, what business is it of yours, an outsider, in the affairs of our Red Leaf Manor?!”

Hua Yushu, fanning himself with a folding fan, said, “Uncle Ye and my father are like brothers. He treats me like his own nephew, and I respect him like my own uncle. How am I an outsider?” Seeing the two sides arguing fiercely, Chen Chijiao, who was standing to the side, quickly stood up and said, “Hero Ye, Young Hero Hua, Heroine Yao, everyone, I, this old beggar, have something important to discuss, so I will take my leave now. Until we meet again.”

After saying that, he turned and left. The other heroes of the martial arts world also knew that they could not get involved in such matters and had to avoid suspicion, so they all took their leave as well.

For a moment, only Yao Youwei, Ye Ruiyun, Ye Taixuan, Ye Jingyun, Hua Yushu, and Yao Ye remained in the main room. It was obvious that Yao Youwei and Ye Ruiyun were together, while Ye Taixuan and the other three were in a group, with the latter being much stronger.

Yao Youwei glanced at the Golden Crow Blade in Ye Jingyun’s hand, then at Yao Ye, who was eyeing her menacingly. She knew that things would not end well today. Ye Taixuan would definitely use both soft and hard tactics to get her. If she refused him, these four experts would definitely make things difficult for her.

She silently considered what to do.

Fighting is definitely outmatched, so running away is also an option.

They probably can’t escape anyway, so they can only try to buy time and find an opportunity to leave Red Leaf Manor. This place has already become Ye Taixuan and Hua Yushu’s territory, and they can’t stay here any longer.

Ye Taixuan sat in the seat where Ye Hongyi used to sit, crossed his legs, and said in a deep voice, “Sister-in-law, I have always respected you as my mother. I hope you can understand me. I am not after your beauty. It is only to fulfill my elder brother’s last wish. Alas, it is a pity that my elder brother, such a good person and such a hero, did not have a good ending in the end… Jingyun, you must work harder and become a hero like your uncle as soon as possible!”

“Yes, Father, I will try my best!” Ye Jingyun stood beside Ye Taixuan, stroking the Golden Crow Blade, one of the three great divine weapons of the world.

At this moment, Ye Jingyun was in high spirits, his eyes gleaming with sharp light. He no longer had the kind and harmless appearance of before, but was full of confidence and sharpness, appearing extremely arrogant.

He lost his mother at a young age, and his father, Ye Taixuan, never remarried, but often frequented brothels.

It wasn’t that Ye Taixuan loved his wife that much, but rather that the person he truly coveted was his sister-in-law, Yao Youwei, and he was constantly thinking about how to get her.

Unfortunately, Yao Youwei is Ye Hongyi’s wife, his sister-in-law, and he dares not take any risks. He can only dream about it.

However, now that Ye Hongyi is dead, Ye Taixuan knows that his chance has come. He has no more scruples. Today, even if he has to use force, he will take Yao Youwei down and fulfill his long-cherished wish!

“Miss Yao, why aren’t you saying anything? Brother Ye is waiting here!” Yao Ye urged impatiently.

“Shut up!” Yao Youwei looked at the androgynous cult leader with utter disgust.

In fact, she had always opposed Ye Hongyi accepting Yao Ye into her own group, but Ye Hongyi wouldn’t listen no matter what.

“Hmm?” Yao Ye frowned. “What do you mean by this, Miss Yao? You seem to have a prejudice against me?”

Ye Taixuan slowly stood up and approached Yao Youwei step by step, saying, “Sister-in-law, you should think this through carefully. Don’t refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences.”

Ye Ruiyun angrily said, “Second Uncle! What…what exactly do you want to do? My father just died and you’re already fighting amongst yourselves. I’m ashamed of you!”

“Insolence! No respect for elders!”

Ye Taixuan suddenly flashed forward and slapped Ye Ruiyun across the face.

With a sharp “smack,” Ye Ruiyun’s pretty face was struck, and several red finger marks immediately appeared on her snow-white left cheek.

The opponent attacked suddenly and swiftly, with a tricky and cunning angle, almost like a sneak attack. She had no time to dodge.

Ye Ruiyun felt a burning pain on her face. She covered her cheek, took a few steps back, and glared at Ye Taixuan: “You, you dare to hit me! Even my father has never hit me, you… I’m going to kill you!”

She drew her long sword from her waist and used the “Wild Wind Sword Technique” passed down in Red Leaf Manor. With a move called “Autumn Wind Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves,” she swept it horizontally towards Ye Taixuan.

“You bastards, you want to turn the world upside down, don’t you!” Ye Taixuan roared, drawing his long sword to meet the attack.

Seeing this, Yao Youwei was furious that her beloved daughter had been beaten, and at the same time she was thinking of a solution. Seeing that the two had already started fighting, she knew that there was no room for maneuver and that she could only fight back. But she knew she would definitely lose. At most, she could leave this place. If she couldn’t escape, then she would only die in battle.

Otherwise, she could foresee the humiliation she and her daughter would suffer after falling into their hands, and she could not bear that kind of shame no matter what.

Seeing that Yao Youwei had also made a move, Yao Ye immediately sprang into action, using his signature move, “Pick-Flower Finger Technique,” pointing a finger at Yao Youwei while chuckling, “Lady Yao, how dare you lay a hand on your future man? You’re truly unchaste! I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of Brother Ye!”

The slender fingers shimmered with golden light as they touched the blade in Yao Youwei’s hand, causing her arm to go numb.

As expected of Yao Ye, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, his skill is far beyond that of ordinary innate masters. He is on the same level as Wei Dongxiang, who is nine thousand years old. It would take several innate masters working together to defeat him!

Yao Youwei retreated repeatedly, constantly deflecting the power of Yao Ye’s attacks. Even so, she was still in grave danger, constantly restrained, and completely outmatched.

Although Yao Ye had no weapon in his hand, his hands were the sharpest weapon of all, and they were ever-changing, like butterflies flitting among flowers, making them impossible to defend against.

Yao Ye’s fingers flashed with golden light as he caught the blade with his bare hands, leaving Yao Youwei with almost no room to use her swordsmanship.

On the other side, Ye Ruiyun was also significantly hampered in her fight with Ye Taixuan.

Both were experts at the Innate Realm. After absorbing Qi Fei’s true energy, Ye Ruiyun’s skill was no less than Ye Taixuan’s. However, she was not as shrewd as Ye Taixuan and had less experience in combat. Both of them used the “Whirlwind Blade Technique” and knew each other’s moves inside and out. Ye Ruiyun’s blade technique was much inferior to Ye Taixuan’s, who had lived for more than forty years, and was far less agile.

Hua Yushu and Ye Jingyun watched from the sidelines without intervening, because it was completely unnecessary.

Hua Yushu chuckled, patted his palm with his fan, and said to Ye Jingyun beside him, “Brother Jingyun, your martial arts skills have now far surpassed mine. Who do you think will win?”

Without hesitation, Ye Jingyun said, “Of course, Uncle Yaoye and my father are more skilled.”

Hua Yushu laughed and said, “Brother Jingyun is indeed insightful; he has a bright future ahead of him!”

Ye Jingyun said, “Brother Hua, you flatter me. I am young and ignorant, and I hope you will give me more guidance in the future.”

“Of course, of course.” Hua Yushu’s eyes darted around. “How about we become sworn brothers, sharing both good times and bad from now on? What do you say?”

“Great!” Ye Jingyun was overjoyed upon hearing this. “As long as my father agrees, I would be extremely happy.” He had lived in Red Leaf Manor since childhood, where servants handled everything for him. He was almost completely unfamiliar with the outside world and had no idea how to navigate the martial arts world. Therefore, he had a heartfelt admiration for Hua Yushu, who was knowledgeable in everything, had unparalleled strategies, and was dashing and charming. He had long wanted to follow him.

“Haha… From now on, we’re brothers!” Hua Yushu patted his shoulder.

“Big Brother!” Ye Jingyun looked at him with fervent eyes.

The fight on the side continued. Ye Ruiyun was able to hold her own against Ye Taixuan. Moreover, after being restrained at the beginning, she gradually became more agile. Her swordsmanship even improved considerably during the fight, and for a time she was evenly matched with Ye Taixuan.

However, Yao Youwei was already in grave danger, her life in imminent peril. Yao Ye’s fingers continued to probe her body, repeatedly striking the long sword in her hand. Suddenly, with a “clang,” the long sword in Yao Youwei’s hand was knocked away and fell to the ground.

Yao Ye leered, “Miss Yao, open your mouth and take my finger!” With that, he attacked Yao Youwei.

“Shameless scoundrel!” Yao Youwei cursed angrily.

In this critical moment, Yao Youwei could no longer care about anything else. Seeing the golden light flashing before her eyes, she suddenly gathered her true energy. Under the operation of her divine skill, her innate qi transformed into a bright moon, shimmering with silver light, and appeared on her high chest!

“Bright Moon Phoenix?!”

In that instant, everyone was moved, and Yao Ye quickly retreated.

The bright moon pushed forward, rushing towards Yao Ye. Knowing he couldn’t dodge, Yao Ye shouted and flicked his fingers repeatedly, sending golden light flashing as it landed on the moon. With a loud bang, the moon shattered under Yao Ye’s powerful force.

But Yao Ye dared not underestimate it and remained on high alert. However, after the bright moon shattered, it was empty inside; no phoenix phantom flew out from within.

“Huh?” Yao Ye was slightly surprised. “Is it an incomplete version of ‘Bright Moon Phoenix’?”

The authentic “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” not only allows the bright moon to track enemies, making them impossible to evade, but even if the bright moon is shattered, the phoenix phantom inside is enough to kill people, making it extremely powerful.

However, Yao Youwei’s “Bright Moon and Flying Phoenix” only has the bright moon and no phoenix, which is obviously an incomplete technique.

Ye Taixuan took a few steps back, separating himself from Ye Ruiyun, and glared at Yao Youwei, saying, “So, you’re a spy sent by your Kun Kingdom! Why did you infiltrate my elder brother’s side? Did you come here to harm my Red Leaf Manor?!”

Yao Youwei’s face turned cold, and she said in a stern voice, “Don’t talk nonsense. I have never harmed Red Leaf Manor.”

Ye Taixuan angrily said, “You instigated Ruiyun to betray us, and then used the Kun Kingdom’s royal family’s ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ to attack us. You’ve come here to harm our Red Leaf Manor!”

Ye Ruiyun retorted angrily, “Nonsense! You clearly started it!”

Ye Taixuan said, “If you hadn’t been so disrespectful, why would I have taken action? It was only right that I disciplined you! Otherwise, how would you have learned to respect your elders?”

Yao Youwei sneered, “You all forced this out of us!”

Hua Yushu said, “I understand now. This must all be a conspiracy by the Kun Kingdom. The Kun Kingdom first sent this woman to infiltrate Red Leaf Manor, then whispered in the ear of Hero Ye, causing him to fight Bai Xifeng and die in the battle. Even all the disciples of Red Leaf Manor died in the battle… but the Kun Kingdom hardly lost any people. We were fooled! How vicious they are!”

“This is utter nonsense, utter rubbish!” Ye Ruiyun was almost driven mad by his illogical fabrication. It was simply a case of finding fault where none existed.

Ye Taixuan angrily said, “Then how do you explain your knowledge of the Kun Kingdom royal family’s ‘Bright Moon Phoenix’?”

Yao Youwei clenched her fists and stared at them with a look of hatred on her face. These people really disgusted her.

“Let me tell you why Lady Yao knows ‘The Phoenix Under the Bright Moon’.”

Just as Ye Taixuan was pressing his advantage, a pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door, filled with arrogance and coldness, and also revealing a faint killing intent.

Everyone looked up and saw a group of people walking in from outside the door. There were about a hundred of them, and each of them was a beautiful woman. In particular, the leaders were absolutely stunning, so beautiful that they were unforgettable at first sight, yet they were also very alluring!

They were none other than Fang Huaxian, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect; Yu Youyang, the master of Tingyu Tower; Ji Qiujun, the master of Baihua Palace; Feng Jianqing, the princess of Kun Kingdom; Leng Shuxue, the cold-faced assassin; Li Yuyao, the young lady of Diancang Sect; and female disciples from the three major martial arts sects of Kun Kingdom, namely Fuguang and Lueying.

“Hiss, hiss…”

One after another, venomous snakes fell from the roof and coiled on both sides of the door, their scarlet tongues flicking out, looking quite terrifying.

“Fang Huaxian!” Ye Taixuan’s eyelids twitched, and he took a few steps back.

When the people from Kun Kingdom arrived, they knew they had no chance to keep Yao Youwei.

Fang Huaxian wore a black gauze dress with a slit that went up to her thighs, revealing her rounded thighs encased in black stockings. The dress looked mysterious and alluring, full of sexy charm.

Yu Youyang wore a sky-blue feather robe, her curvaceous figure was captivating, and her fair and beautiful face was unforgettable after just one look.

Ji Qiujun wore a light pink and white gauze dress, her long hair flowing, and there was a pink peach blossom mark between her eyebrows. Her jade-like legs were exceptionally long, covered with thin pink and white stockings, and her slender feet wore pink and white shoes embroidered with peach blossoms, making people want to touch them.

However, Ye Taixuan and Yao Ye were well aware of just how dangerous these three incredibly alluring women were. The number of people who had died at their hands far exceeded the number who had died at their hands.

Yao Youwei and Ye Ruiyun were overjoyed and quickly went over.

“Sister Feng!” Ye Ruiyun finally felt relieved.

“Little sister.” Feng Jianqing smiled and held her delicate hand, standing beside her.

Ye Ruiyun said somewhat aggrievedly, “Sister Feng, that old guy just slapped me, it hurts so much!”

Upon hearing this, Kazami Haru glared at Ye Taixuan and said angrily, “How dare you bully my sister! You’re asking for death!”

As he spoke, he leaped forward and pounced on Ye Taixuan.

Seeing her aggressive approach, Ye Taixuan swung his long sword and slashed at her.

A bright moon emerged from Kazemi Haru’s palm and hurtled towards Ye Taixuan’s face.

Ye Taixuan cleaved the bright moon with his sword, but a phantom phoenix flew out from it. He felt a jolt in his hand, and the long sword in his hand was knocked to the ground. In great shock, he hurriedly retreated.

“Don’t hurt my father!” At this moment, Ye Jingyun saw that Ye Taixuan was in bad shape, so he quickly swung his sword. The Golden Crow Sword in his hand turned into a red light, with a sharp aura, and fell like a bolt of lightning.

“The sun and moon are equal in the sky!”

Kazami Haru could tell from his movements and swordsmanship that his martial arts had greatly improved, far surpassing what he had been like yesterday at Peach Blossom Mountain. Not daring to be careless, she quickly used the moves from the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill”.

A red sun and a bright moon appeared from the palms of her hands, one in front of the other, heading towards Ye Jingyun.

“Wind Over the World!”

Ye Jingyun shouted, and the Golden Crow Blade burst out with a burst of red light, transforming into a red tornado that swept over.

A series of loud bangs rang out, and the red sun and bright moon shattered one after another. Even the three-legged golden crow and phoenix phantoms inside were shredded by Ye Jingyun.

Kazami Haru was immediately moved and unleashed her most powerful move to date, “Sun and Moon in Harmony”!

The sun and moon rose simultaneously above her, and two circular beams of light, one red and one blue, enveloped her entire body. The sun and moon merged together, rapidly growing larger, from the size of a millstone to the size of a door, and bursting out with dazzling light!

At that moment, Ye Jingyun’s Golden Crow Blade fell!

With a muffled thud, Ye Jingyun’s Golden Crow Blade struck the sun and moon radiance emanating from Feng Jianqing’s body. The two innate qi collided, unleashing a powerful force that created a strong shockwave. The surrounding tables and chairs were shattered into pieces, and everyone felt a powerful surge of heat rushing towards them, causing them to retreat and avoid it.

“Thump thump thump—” Both Feng Jianqing and Ye Jingyun felt a jolt, and they both took seven steps back before they could stand still. A series of footprints, several inches deep, appeared on the bluestone floor beneath their feet.

Ye Jingyun held the Golden Crow Blade, his right hand trembling slightly.

Feng Jianqing was also surprised and uncertain. How could this kid’s martial arts have reached such a level in just one day? His power was no less than Qi Fei’s, and his Golden Crow Blade was indestructible… Feng Jianqing was secretly shocked. She could only fight him to a draw when she used the Sun and Moon Divine Skill. It was too terrifying. What would happen to him in the future?

Fang Huaxian glanced at the Golden Crow Blade in Ye Jingyun’s hand and immediately understood that this person must be Ye Hongyi’s successor.

Hua Yushu, who was standing to the side, suddenly became suspicious when she saw Feng Jianqing using the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill”. She said, “Miss Feng, what you just used… seems to be my Hua family’s ‘Red Sun Illuminates the World’ technique! Where did you learn it?”

Feng Jianqing laughed and said, “Young Master Hua, what nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly the ‘Sun Technique’ that I picked up on the main road and integrated into my Feng clan’s ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’. What does it have to do with your Hua family’s ‘Illuminating the World’?”

“You… picked him up on the street? Do you think I’d believe that?” Hua Yushu gritted his teeth. He was even more certain that Qi Fei must have learned the Hua family’s “Red Sun Shines Over the World” from Hua Zhenbei when they were in the prison.

At this moment, Fang Huaxian chuckled and stepped forward, saying, “Oh dear, it seems we’ve come at an inopportune time. Has Master Ye already passed away? Why is Red Leaf Manor in such a state? Do you all enjoy fighting amongst yourselves so much?”

“Hmph.” Ye Taixuan glanced at him. “You explain first, what is the meaning of your Kun Kingdom placing people next to my elder brother?”

Fang Huaxian sneered, “I’ve changed my mind now. I don’t want to explain anymore. What, you have a problem with that?”

Ye Taixuan roared, “Is this how your Kun Kingdom cooperates with us? In this cooperation, not only did my elder brother die in battle, but almost all the experts of our Red Leaf Manor were wiped out, and even heroes from all walks of life sacrificed themselves. And what about your Kun Kingdom… Heh, you’re all unharmed! Isn’t this acting a bit too fake?!”

Fang Huaxian scoffed: “That’s because you’re not as skilled!”

“you……”

“What, still won’t admit it?” Fang Huaxian sneered. “Not only are you less skilled, but you are also morally corrupt and despicable. Master Ye just died, and you’ve already started bullying your own people. What kind of skill is it to bully your own family? You’re not even men! Someone like you even dares to covet other people’s beauty? Bah! No wonder no one would even look at you!”

“You…you poisonous woman!” Ye Taixuan blushed with embarrassment at her words and had no way to refute them. She had exposed his true colors without giving him any face. He was furious and wished he could kill Fang Huaxian.

Fang Huaxian raised her head and said, “By order of Her Majesty the Empress, from this day forward, our Kun Kingdom and your Red Leaf Manor are severing our alliance and will no longer cooperate. In the future, do not use our Kun Kingdom’s name to swindle and deceive people, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Ye Taixuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, shouting, “Since that’s the case, then the engagement should be dissolved, and the marriage between Ruiyun and Qifei is hereby cancelled!”

Yao Youwei said, “Ruiyun is my daughter. Her marriage is my decision, not yours.”

Ye Taixuan patted his chest and said, “Now I am the head of the Ye family and the master of Red Leaf Manor! You all have to listen to me!”

Yao Youwei said, “I regret to inform you that from today onwards, Ruiyun and I are officially leaving Red Leaf Manor and are no longer part of Red Leaf Manor. You can slowly become the manor lord and give orders!”

“You… fine, very well.” Ye Taixuan’s eyes flashed with malice, and he gritted his teeth. His love for Yao Youwei had completely turned into hatred, and he wished he could destroy her.

Yao Ye laughed strangely, “Hehe, you Kun Kingdom people are really untrustworthy. Hero Ye shouldn’t have trusted you in the first place!” Hua Yushu waved his folding fan, looked at Feng Jianqing, and said, “Miss Feng, I really want to know, does your promise to marry me still stand?”

Kazami Haru smirked and said, “We Kun people always keep our word. You only need to do the three things I’ve told you, and I will marry you.”

“What is it?” Hua Yushu asked, squinting. He no longer believed that Feng Jianqing would marry him.

Kazami Haru said casually, “It’s very simple. First, castrate yourself, then kill the Emperor, and finally commit suicide. Once you’ve done these three things, I’ll marry you.”

“You… Heh.” Hua Yushu laughed in extreme anger, “As expected, you never intended to marry me. There was no way I would marry into your Kun Kingdom, right? Heh, fine, you were just playing me from the start! Very well, I’ll remember this debt, and I, Hua Yushu, will get my revenge sooner or later! Feng Jianqing, I’ll make you pay double in the future!”

“No need to wait until later, you can come at me now.” Feng Jianqing rubbed her hands together, eager to fight. Now that she had mastered the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill,” Hua Yushu was no match for her even if he fought desperately. This guy had fooled Qi Fei time and time again, and she really wanted to give him a good beating.

Hua Yushu narrowed her eyes, somewhat hesitant. Given the overwhelming numbers of the other side, she and her few companions probably wouldn’t gain any advantage.

At this moment, Yao Ye said, “Young Master, just say the word and I will immediately take care of them!”

“Big brother, me, and me too.” Ye Jingyun also stepped forward.

Fang Huaxian chuckled: “Looks like you want to spar with us. Perfect, I’ve been itching for a fight.” She pulled out a black, soft whip that was wrapped around her waist; it was clearly covered in deadly poison.

Yu Youyang, Ji Qiujun, Leng Shuxue, Yao Youwei, Ye Ruiyun and others also changed their demeanor, ready to take action at any moment.

Ye Taixuan hurriedly said, “Wait!”

“Does Master Ye have anything else to say?”

“Hmph, we Red Leaf Manor people have always valued harmony and never bully guests who have come from afar. Although you are uninvited guests, my elder brother has just passed away, and it is really not appropriate for us to fight with you. You may leave. From now on, Red Leaf Manor and your Kun Kingdom will have no further dealings!”

Ye Taixuan slowly turned around, his back to Fang Huaxian and the others, giving off an impression that he didn’t want to fight them and was willing to let them go.

Fang Huaxian gave a cold laugh and said, “Since you don’t want to fight, fine, then we’re leaving.” With that, she turned and left.

Kazami Haru and the others followed behind her and soon went out the door, disappearing into the night in no time.

Those snakes, insects, and venomous creatures also disappeared quickly.

After they left, Ye Jingyun said, “Father, why didn’t you kill them?”

Ye Taixuan rebuked, “What do you know? Do you think we can win? Those three female demons are not weak in martial arts. Fang Huaxian is even a figure on the list of martial arts masters. In addition, the princess of Kun Kingdom possesses the divine skill ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix,’ and we don’t even know if the empress of Kun Kingdom is nearby… They have the numbers and the power. Now is not the time to fight them!”

“I understand, Father.” Ye Jingyun sheathed the Golden Crow Blade.

Hua Yushu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear. Judging from the fight between Feng Jianqing and Ye Jingyun, he knew that once they started fighting, the other party would definitely beat him to a pulp.

Immediately afterward, a wave of sorrow washed over him. Now, the Hua family’s Fengyun Escort Agency was completely destroyed, the Hua family’s power was gone, and the Hua family’s “Red Sun Shines Over the World” divine skill had been taken away by someone else. What hope was there left?

He took a deep breath, and suddenly remembered his mentor, Master Haoyun. Only then did a glimmer of hope arise. He said in a deep voice, “Now that Master Ye has passed away, we don’t have enough manpower, so it’s impossible to accomplish anything. Alas… The only way now is to go to Leizhou and visit my master, Master Haoyun, at Haoqi Manor!”

Ye Taixuan’s eyes lit up and he said, “This method is feasible. Layman Haoyun has a wide circle of friends and is highly skilled in martial arts. My elder brother is also quite friendly with him. It’s just a pity that he never participates in martial arts disputes. However, as long as we sincerely go to him for help, I believe he will receive us.”

They all nodded.
