Monts later.
The battle was over.
Ye Chen, Qu Xiao, Ouyang Xiaoling, Luo Tian, and the people from the Martial Arts Academy all gathered in front of i Yu.
As for the martial artists from the family factions, they gathered on the other side.
i Yu glanced at everyone, finally fixing her gaze on Ye Chen, and said, "Ye Chen, your combat prowess is beyond my expectations. However, the news of you killing the royal mber of the Demon Race, Motuo, has probably spread within the Demon Race.
The Demon Race’s loyalty to their royal mbers is terrifyingly strong, so I suggest you leave Demon Suppression Valley now, and let Vice Dean He escort you back to the Martial Arts Academy imdiately!"
The others also looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen remained calm and said, "That’s just fine. I won’t need to slowly track down the Demon Race; they will co to !"
"Ye Chen, do you not understand what is happening here?!" i Yu was losing her temper.
There were things i Yu couldn’t say openly in front of everyone, but she didn’t believe that Ye Chen was unaware that this attack by the Demon Race was orchestrated by soone in the background.
Moreover, this sche had only just begun!
Ye Chen said, "Instructor i, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!"
i Yu was getting frustrated and was about to call Ye Chen aside to sternly explain the seriousness of the situation again.
But at this mont.
The martial artists from Unparalleled County’s family factions gathered on the other side started coming over.
Their leader was Yuqing Yang, the patriarch of the Yu Family, the number one family in Unparalleled County.
Ye Chen had previously clashed with the Yu Family’s Yu Chen and Yu Heng.
However, those incidents hadn’t escalated to a conflict between Ye Chen and the entire Yu Family.
Yuqing Yang wasn’t foolish; having conflicts with Ye Chen over trivial matters was not beneficial for the Yu Family, especially since Ye Chen had already shown significant potential.
However, the Yu Family also saw no reason to curry favor with Ye Chen because everyone in Unparalleled County knew that Ye Chen was currently entangled in a ss of troubles.
The Vice Dean of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, ng Changtian, the entire Celestial Sword Sect, the Spirit Ruins Sect, and Prince Yong Zhou Chengyun, who now commanded the Three Thousand Dragon Guards, all had irreparable conflicts with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s potential was trendous.
But whether he could fully develop it was still a question.
Therefore, Yuqing Yang’s stance was not to further offend but also not to have any dealings with Ye Chen!
There was no need to gamble; by maintaining the status quo, the Yu Family could still survive steadily in Unparalleled County. If they gambled and any mistake occurred, the Yu Family’s centuries-old foundation could be ruined.
Therefore, Yuqing Yang, along with the martial artists from Unparalleled County’s family factions, had agreed on one thing.
"Instructor i, while we originally should have followed your arrangents to clear out the Demon Race in this area, things have changed now. We will leave this area and move to another battlefield to continue clearing out the Demons," Yuqing Yang said.
"Master Yu, what do you an by this?" i Yu’s expression darkened.
Yuqing Yang said, "I hope Instructor i can understand our predicant. We ca to participate in the battle and to kill Demons, fulfilling our responsibility. Now, the Demon Race is almost retreating entirely into the Demon Cave, but a mber of the Demon Race’s royalty has died, which is a big deal. Before the Demon Race retreats completely, they will stop at nothing to avenge their royal mber’s death.
This risk, we cannot afford to take."
"Yuqing Yang, Ye Chen did nothing wrong by killing the Demons. As the patriarch of the Yu Family, a person of status in Unparalleled County, you are leading by example. Do you really believe I won’t charge you with desertion during battle?!" Qu Xiao was furious and shouted.
"Miss Qu, what cri have we committed?" A middle-aged man beside Yuqing Yang said, "We fought the Demons on the battlefield heedless of life and death, and now that the battle is nearly over, why should we risk our lives for soone who has nothing to do with us?
Ye Chen is from your Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. If you want to protect him, that’s your business.
But why should we be dragged along to protect him?
Of course, we are not saying we will definitely leave here, if Ye Chen leaves, we naturally will stay!"
A second person added, "That’s right, Ye Chen, you should leave the Demon Suppression Valley battlefield. Anywhere you stay will only bring harm, putting others at risk of death."
Although i Yu was also advising Ye Chen to leave,
i Yu’s motivations were different from those of these people.
i Yu was concerned about Ye Chen’s safety.
These people were afraid of being implicated by Ye Chen!
Ye Chen looked at these martial artists from Unparalleled County’s family factions, feeling very calm, because from the start, he never intended to fight alongside these people.
Earlier, when the Demon Race attacked,
they fought with ease, never considering sending a few people to help relieve Ye Chen and his group’s pressure.
"You are right,"
Ye Chen said flatly, "You don’t have to leave, I will."
"Ye Chen, don’t be reckless!" i Yu shouted sternly.
Ye Chen looked at i Yu and said, "Instructor i, they are right. I have already beco a target that the Demon Race must eliminate. Wherever I am, there will be tragic deaths and injuries, so there’s no need for to drag others down with .
I will handle my issues myself!"
"Brother Ye, I’m with you!"
Luo Tian stated decisively, without hesitation.
Qu Xiao looked at Ye Chen and sighed. She knew Ye Chen well enough now. It didn’t surprise her that Ye Chen would make such a decision; Ye Chen was straightforward, and once he made up his mind, swaying him would be nearly impossible.
So, Qu Xiao didn’t try to persuade him.
i Yu snorted coldly, not saying any more to Ye Chen. Instead, she looked at Yuqing Yang and his group and said, "You can leave. From now on, this is a matter for Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and is none of your concern."
Yuqing Yang cupped his hands toward i Yu and said, "Instructor i, take care then."
Having said that, Yuqing Yang led his people away without looking back.
"Instructor i, I..."
Ye Chen barely started speaking.
i Yu interrupted him, saying, "What do you an, ’I’? Do you think you’re invincible now? Here are your choices, three of them.
Either you defeat , and I won’t stop you.
Or you leave Demon Suppression Valley, and I’ll arrange for soone to escort you back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
Or you stay put in the team, and if the Demon Race cos, we fight, fight until they dare not co anymore."
Ye Chen was silent.
Finally, Qu Xiao spoke, "Ye Chen, listen to Instructor i. The situation isn’t as severe as Yuqing Yang and his people say. If the Demon Race plans to retaliate against you, the Dragon Guard and Defense Army, as well as the rest of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, aren’t blind or deaf.
This might even be an opportunity.
The Demon Race previously lost their will to fight and wanted only to retreat into the Demon Cave.
Now, their desire for revenge against you is also our chance to advance in clearing the Demons!"
i Yu nodded.
Then she lifted her hand and waved.
A jade bottle floated out from her storage ring and hovered in the air. Soon after, pills poured out from the jade bottle, floating in front of each person.
"These are Blood Rage Pills. Keep them well. If you encounter a critical situation, take a pill to maintain high-intensity power for half an hour. However, rember, do not take it unless it’s an ergency, because once you use its effects, you will completely lose combat ability and need a long ti to recuperate to recover."
i Yu distributed such pills, indicating her pessimism about the upcoming situation.
After seeing everyone had received the Blood Rage Pills, i Yu said, "Go ditate and adjust your breathing, keep yourself in the best condition at all tis."
Everyone slightly dispersed, each ditating and adjusting their breath.
"Ye Chen, you’re still planning to leave, aren’t you?" Ouyang Xiaoling approached Ye Chen and said softly.
Ye Chen looked at Ouyang Xiaoling, surprised that she would seek him out alone to discuss this matter.
Ouyang Xiaoling said, "Wait a bit longer, don’t rush to decide. Don’t underestimate Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, or my grandfather. He is arranging many things.
Also, I have a personal matter. Previously, during the Martial Arts Academy assessnt, the person who sneak-attacked and knocked out from behind was you, right?"
Ye Chen imdiately looked embarrassed.
"I bought the truth for a hundred low-grade essence stones from that fat guy."
Ye Chen: "..."
