Chapter 190 Great Changes in the Ancient Kingdom, Xia Yuhui's Decision
"I apologize, everyone. Fellow Daoist Ye is so powerful that I had no choice but to go all out, which is why it was a bit difficult to control. I hope you can all forgive me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qinghe arrived at his side like a gust of wind and took Ye Xuantian away.
Soon, Ye Qinghe fed him a few pills, and Ye Xuantian's complexion gradually returned to normal. Although the battle between the two was extremely fierce, like a storm, fortunately, he was not seriously injured in the end.
At this moment, Ye Xuantian's spirits were shattered as if by a heavy hammer. According to the intelligence, Xia Yuhui had not yet revealed many of his methods, yet he had already suffered such a crushing defeat. Clearly, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Lei, I have suffered a crushing defeat today. I will definitely work harder to cultivate after this day and come back to learn from you again in the future!" Ye Xuantian said with a face full of frustration, like a defeated rooster.
However, at this moment he was just trying to save face. Given Xia Yuhui's growth rate, he would only leave him far behind like a rocket in the future.
Perhaps he will never be able to catch up with him in his lifetime.
"Well said. There is defeat and there is victory. Who can predict the future?" Just then, a person suddenly walked over from a distance. His voice was like a great bell, deafening.
Xia Yuhui also looked in the direction of the voice. Although he had never met this person before, he had heard of him. This person was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ye family and the pillar of the Ye family. He was known as the Earth-Covering Daoist. In his early years, he was famous for his superb earth-based magic and was a well-known figure throughout the ancient kingdom.
"So you are the Taoist Master Futu! I have long admired your name!" Xia Yuhui bowed deeply with utmost respect.
This person is several times older than him, so it's understandable to be respectful in front of him; after all, putting on a show is not difficult.
“Fellow Daoist Chi Lei, how about we move over there to talk?” Daoist Fu Tu said softly, a warm smile on his face.
"please."
In an instant, the Earth-Covering Taoist disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost, and Xia Yuhui transformed into a bolt of lightning, chasing closely behind him.
The Ye family members were left looking at each other with strange expressions.
Two hundred miles away, on two towering trees, Fu Tu Dao Ren and Xia Yu Hui stood facing each other.
“Fellow Daoist Chi Lei, I have already thought about what happened five days ago. It was indeed our Ye family that did something wrong and was deceived by that Linggui Daoist. However, since you have already vented your anger today, why don’t we let this matter rest?” Futu Daoist said with a kind face, like a benevolent elder.
“Then let’s do as you say, senior, and drop this matter. From now on, the area within a thousand miles of that second-tier spiritual vein will be the territory of my Xia family. As for the matter of the Spirit Ghost Daoist, I hope the Ye family will not interfere. Is that alright?” Xia Yuhui cautiously probed.
"Rest assured, I will strictly control my clansmen in the future and will never allow them to trespass into the Xia family's territory without cause. As for the matter of the Spirit Ghost Daoist, it has nothing to do with us, so please do not misunderstand." The Earth-Covering Daoist suddenly became serious and answered solemnly.
"Very well, then I'll have to trouble you today, fellow Daoist! Farewell!" With that, Xia Yuhui flew away into the distance like a thunderbolt ripped across the sky.
Meanwhile, Lion Rock Roar, which had been anxiously waiting for Xia Yuhui in the distance, immediately went to meet him. Xia Yuhui sat steadily on its back and sped away like an arrow.
After Xia Yuhui's figure disappeared from his divine sense range, Futu Daoist's expression changed drastically. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his body trembled involuntarily. He muttered to himself, "An'er, rest in peace. Your father will definitely avenge you."
Xia Yuhui, who had already escaped the Ye family's territory like a rabbit, was completely unaware of this. He had already reunited with Xia Yuren and the others. After telling everyone what had happened, the four of them sped off towards Jinling County like arrows released from a bow.
This time, the four of them sat upright on the Lion Rock Roar, their speed was like lightning, several times faster than when they came. In just seven days, they returned to Lingfeng Mountain like birds returning to their nests.
However, upon their return to Lingfeng Mountain, they received a shocking piece of news, which, like a plague, had already been spread throughout the entire ancient kingdom by those with ulterior motives.
Inside the Xia family's council hall, the place was now packed with people. The Xia family's high-ranking members were all gathered together, whispering and discussing among themselves. At this moment, the First Elder, Xia Guangchang, was passing on this earth-shattering news to Xia Yuhui.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui's face instantly changed like a chameleon, first showing overjoyed, then revealing a sense of fear.
"What's wrong, Yu Hui? Is there something amiss?" Xia Guangchang was puzzled when he saw the strange expression on Xia Yu Hui's face. Normally, one should be happy when something like this happens.
It turned out that the Guiyun Sect cultivators were attacked on their way back to their base camp. They were besieged by six third-tier demonic beasts. The group originally only had one Golden Core cultivator, Liu Wanzong, so the Guiyun Sect suffered a crushing defeat.
Furthermore, according to rumors, Liu Wanzong was surrounded by six demon kings while trying to cover the Guiyun Sect cultivators, and ultimately perished.
Therefore, the ancient kingdom is now like a flower ravaged by a storm, teetering on the brink of collapse. Not only are the surrounding countries eyeing it covetously, but the top cultivation families in each prefecture of the ancient kingdom are also restless, like ants on a hot pan, sending out spies like hungry wolves to search for information within the Guiyun Sect.
"Alright, everyone quiet down." After a moment of contemplation, Xia Yuhui made a decisive move, directly interrupting the whispers of the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent as if frozen in place, turning their gazes in that direction.
"Gentlemen, the situation has suddenly changed, and we must prepare for the worst and be on high alert! In a moment, I will write a letter and send it to Uncle Yan in the sect, so that he can find out the truth of this matter."
“During this period, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. I have decided to send a group of clansmen to the State of Chu. Before the situation becomes clear, these clansmen must not have any further dealings with the clan.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Some people felt like they were sitting on pins and needles and couldn't hold back any longer. They stood up and remonstrated, "Yu Hui, how can you do this? This should be a joyous occasion. Why send your clansmen away?"
"Yes, our family has been passed down for over seven hundred years, and there has never been such a precedent. What if something happens to any of those family members?"
"Yes, yes, perhaps we should reconsider this matter further."
The hall was immediately filled with the chatter of these people.
Xia Yuhui listened to the crowd's discussion with a helpless expression, but made no attempt to interrupt.
After everyone had finished expressing their opinions, Xia Guangyao suddenly spoke up: "Yu Hui, is there something you're hiding from us?" There was a hint of unease in Xia Guangyao's voice.
He had watched Xia Yuhui grow up since childhood and knew her personality very well, so he immediately guessed the reason.
Xia Yuhui sighed helplessly, stood up, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. The crowd, who were arguing, fell silent once again.
"Gentlemen, there are other reasons for this matter, which I cannot disclose at this time. I hope you will trust me. The clansmen will set off in three days, and we will finalize the selection today." This time, Xia Yuhui's words were sharp and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Okay, let’s quickly select the person.” Xia Guangyao was the first to speak up in agreement.
Xia Guangchang, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, nodded helplessly.
Seeing that both of them agreed, the others had no choice but to accept it.
