"Thank you." Ji Tao said lightly. During this operation, the Ji Family didn’t suffer much loss. Following Ye Shikai, they repeatedly avoided several crises. Except for the initial entry when they were attacked by Ghost Soldiers, making Ji Qian leave the team, but fortunately, there was no real danger.
People left the relics one after another. Once outside, the sky was already gently brightening. Arriving at the campsite, he checked the ti; it was only seven in the morning. The ti inside the relics differed from outside. Ye Shikai estimated they had been inside for one or two days, yet only eight or nine hours had passed outside. People outside, waking from sleep, wouldn’t know what had happened deep in the remote mountains and forests.
"Everyone, take a rest and prepare to head back." As the dust settled, Ye Shikai suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders lifted, feeling relaxed, and most importantly, they gained a lot.
"Wuyan, thank you for coming over." Ye Shikai specifically sought out Wuyan. She only brought two disciples, and upon closer inspection, the baskets behind the two disciples were filled with various herbs and pills, indeed in the style of the Worm Sect. She ca this ti not for the You Xi sword but for the precious herbs inside the relics.
"I ca for them." Wuyan pointed at the herbs in the baskets. "So of these herbs are already extinct according to ancient books. I can cultivate new herbs by taking these back." Wuyan said faintly, her eyes fixed firmly on Ye Shikai.
"Sect Leader, my senior brother and I will withdraw first." The two disciples seed to understand sothing and withdrew to the side.
"Cough cough, Wuyan, I heard you helped Qian, thank you." Ye Shikai was slightly embarrassed. Wuyan’s presence always seed to coincide with his monts of trouble, acting more like a "firefighter," so Ye Shikai always felt indebted to her.
"Don’t misunderstand, she’s my friend too, stop praising yourself." Wuyan maintained a high-cool deanor in front of him.
"Alright, alright, I don’t have anything to give you now, consider it a favor I owe you."
"Tch, how much is your favor worth? Counting the ti I helped you remove the Single Love Poisonous Insect and rescuing you from Dongfang Lian, you don’t even know how much you owe ." Wuyan said disdainfully, then showed an expression of "If you don’t thank properly, you’ll never be done with ."
She’s still an eighteen-year-old girl after all.
"Alright then, I’ll invite you to Yanjing for fun soday, how about that."
"Not interested, you’re making travel so far."
"Fine then, we’ll et again if fate allows it." Ye Shikai knew Wuyan was pouting playfully; she sotis resembled a rebellious teenage girl.
"Wait, you dare to leave, try it." Just as expected, Ye Shikai took two steps and was stopped by Wuyan.
"Haha, fine, I’ll visit the Worm Sect to find you when I have the chance." Ye Shikai smiled slightly, "By the way, I have a sworn sister nad Zi Yun, who’s also knowledgeable in pharmacology and a ’middle school syndro girl’ like you. I’ll introduce you both soday." Ye Shikai turned imdiately, waving his hand as he did.
"Hey, stop there, who’s a middle school syndro girl." Wuyan’s hair bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, chasing Ye Shikai everywhere...
Ye Shikai opened his phone, but to his surprise, in just eight hours, it was flooded with ssages.
"Urgent rescue." Upon seeing these words, Ye Shikai’s eyebrows furrowed instantly. It was an ergency distress signal specifically from the Netherworld Palace, sent at dawn, sothing happened sowhere.
"Hey, Ye Shikai." A voice ca from behind. Turning his head, it was Li Yueying.
"Miss Li, aren’t you looking for treasures inside, how co you’re out here?" Ye Shikai waved it off absently, his mind on the urgent rescue, having no mood for anything else.
"You’ve taken all the treasures, what’s left is just scraps. My Li Mansion wouldn’t care for such things."
"Uh, I have an urgent matter at hand, maybe I can’t discuss it with you now, see you when I’m free." Ye Shikai hurriedly got into the car, "Ghost, there’s an ergency, drive."
"Wait." Suddenly, Li Yueying grabbed the car door.
"Miss Li, what do you want?" Ye Shikai was sowhat helpless. He needed to get to the hotel imdiately.
"What happened?" At this point, Chen Yuxin also approached, her face showing displeasure as soon as she saw Li Yueying.
"Xin, there’s trouble at the Netherworld Palace base, Soul Destroyer sent an urgent rescue." Ye Shikai didn’t care about Li Yueying’s presence, directly spilling the news.
"How could this happen?" A flash of different emotions passed through Chen Yuxin’s eyes, her gaze involuntarily turning aside.
"Anyway, let’s hurry and go." Ye Shikai urged.
"Miss Li, frankly, I have a real ergency. Sothing’s happened in Yanjing, I’m leaving now, see you." Ye Shikai quickly got into the car, Ghost hit the gas, and the car sped off, leaving Li Yueying behind.
"Dad, I have an urgent matter, I’m going first." Ji Qian also quickly said, having likewise received information from the Moon God Temple that the Netherworld Palace was attacked at dawn.
"Okay, be careful, go and return soon." Ji Tao nodded, sending several mbers of the White Mist Army along.
"Report to the Family Head, I have an issue, I’m flying directly to Yanjing." Li Yueying’s face changed slightly, instructing the guard nearby.
"Yes, Miss."
.......................................
Chang’an, hotel.
Ye Shikai almost flew back to the hotel, and the lobby staff thought a madman rushed in.
"Soul Destroyer, what happened exactly." Ye Shikai rushed into the room but was surprised to find Su Qingyu also present. When Chen Yuxin followed in and saw her in the room, a flash of irritation crossed her face before it vanished.
"Boss, you’ve finally returned." Soul Destroyer quickly explained everything. When he ntioned "the base being attacked, Ailina’s life or death unknown," Ye Shikai was instantly "alard." What exactly happened, and why was the base attacked?
"Boss, there are too few personnel left in Yanjing. I’m worried about a mishap, so I ca to Chang’an to find you first." Soul Destroyer was sowhat remorseful, having been given the task to guard the base, which he failed.
"You’re not at fault, we’ll return to Yanjing imdiately." Ye Shikai instructed Ghost and Nightmare behind him, "Get the earliest flight."
"Yes, Boss, I’ll arrange it right away."
"Additionally, call for ergency support from the Netherworld Palace’s base in Europe with Hidden Guards."
"I’ve already sent the request." Soul Destroyer answered, "They’ll arrive in Yanjing tonight."
"Xin, you should go back to the Chen family. This is a matter of the Netherworld Palace, you shouldn’t get involved."
