The Emperor’s Counterattack

In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...

Chapter 313

What made Ye Xuanwei frown in the reply was that his mother asked him to tell Ye Yunchuan about Ye Hanyuan's situation.

Ye Xuanwei was naturally dissatisfied with this answer. He didn't want Ye Hanyuan to have a chance to turn things around. Letting Ye Yunchuan know about Ye Hanyuan's existence would only lead to the ancestor taking Ye Hanyuan back!

He continued reading and found that Ye's mother's goal was indeed to have Ye Yunchuan bring Ye Hanyuan back to the Shenmu Sect. Ye Xuanwei almost thought that his mother had gone mad, but in the following content, she explained the reason.

In conclusion, Ye Hanyuan has recovered his cultivation level. If he stays in the Slaughtering God Sect, things will likely get better and better for him in the future.

If they could bring him back to the Divine Wood Sect, they would have many more opportunities to make their move. With all the manpower they have in the sect over the years, how could Ye Hanyuan possibly escape their grasp?

Ye Xuanwei felt a surge of excitement. That's right! Since they were able to get back at Ye Hanyuan the first time, they could certainly ruin him a second time! As long as they put him under their noses, why would they be afraid of not having another chance to attack him?

After reading the information, Ye Xuanwei made a decision. He went out to inquire about some information before heading to the courtyard where Ye Yunchuan was.

"Who's outside? Come in." Ye Yunchuan's cultivation level allowed him to sense Ye Xuanwei approaching. (Yu Xituan Dui)

Ye Xuan pushed open the door and entered: "Greetings, Ancestor."

"Why did you come back again?" Ye Yunchuan asked.

Ye Xuan swallowed hard and explained, "Ancestor, quite a few people from the Slaughtering God Sect have broken through during this enlightenment."

Ye Yunchuan nodded, but appeared uninterested. A group of Qi Refining cultivators breaking through to Foundation Establishment held no appeal for him. In his eyes, these Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing more than ants; if Ye Xuanwei weren't his bloodline, he wouldn't have bothered with them at all.

"If that's the case, there's no need to report it to me. I have no interest in who in the sect has reached the Foundation Establishment stage." Ye Yunchuan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Ye Xuanwei did not immediately retreat, but stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, if it were just someone from the Divine Wood Sect who broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, how could I dare to disturb you? It's just that I heard that when a disciple from the Slaughtering God Sect broke through to the Qi Refining stage, the lightning tribulation was so powerful that it was comparable to the Golden Core lightning tribulation, and he even survived the tribulation."

"It's just Foundation Establishment." Ye Yunchuan clearly had no interest in this at all.

Ye Xuanwei quickly said, "Ancestor, you may not know, but that disciple with the rumored exceptional talent is actually a descendant of our Ye family!"

Ye Yunchuan then raised his head: "Our Ye family's descendants? How come they're in the Slaughter God Sect?" What he cared about were the Ye family's descendants with good aptitude. He had quite a few descendants, but what he needed was to cultivate more Ye family members to become his helpers.

Ye Xuanwei said, "I wonder if our ancestors still remember that five years ago, our Ye family expelled a disciple named Ye Xuanqing."

"Ye Xuanqing? Of course I remember him. Wasn't it your lineage that drove him out?" Ye Yunchuan glanced at him indifferently.

Ye Xuanwei felt a chill run down his spine and replied, "He killed my own brother, which is why the clan leader ordered him to be expelled from the family and sect." He tried to argue his way out of it.

Ye Yunchuan said with some disdain, "Alright, no need for further sophistry. Tell me, why did you bring him up? Do you want me to punish him?" He still remembered this incident; the one who was expelled was already a cripple, so he naturally didn't care.

Ye Xuanwei felt a surge of excitement. If Ye Yunchuan could punish him, that would be wonderful. However, his enthusiasm only lasted for a moment before he quickly regained his senses. Judging from his ancestor's tone, he didn't really intend to punish Ye Hanyuan. So he smiled and said, "How can you say that? He is now a disciple of the Slaughtering God Sect. Even if we are his relatives, we cannot go beyond the Slaughtering God Sect to punish him."

"So what do you want to do?" Ye Yunchuan was starting to get impatient.

Ye Xuanwei quickly replied, "After making some inquiries, I discovered that Ye Xuanqing has changed his name to Ye Hanyuan and has become a level two alchemist in the Lushen Sect. Since he has such abilities, it would be natural to bring him back to the Shenmu Sect so that he can contribute to the family and the sect."

"A level two alchemist?" Ye Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you say he just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage? He became a level two alchemist so quickly?"

Ye Xuan was secretly consumed by jealousy! All these events proved that Ye Han was far superior to him, how could he not be jealous! But now was not the time to act, so he immediately replied, "Ancestor, you may not know, but Ye Xuanqing is quite capable. I've heard that he could refine second-grade pills even during his Qi Refining stage." Ye Han could refine top-grade second-grade pills, but he didn't intend to reveal it all. A second-grade alchemist and an alchemist who could refine top-grade second-grade pills every time were completely different. He just wanted Ye Yunchuan to bring the person back to the Divine Wood Sect, not wanting Ye Yunchuan to focus all his attention on Ye Han, which would reduce their chances of making a move.

Upon hearing his answer, Ye Yunchuan began to make a plan. He didn't care much about any Foundation Establishment cultivator, nor did he care much about any Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ye family. However, if the other party could refine pills across levels, it would be different. In the future, he might become an asset to Ye Yunchuan. Moreover, being able to refine pills across levels greatly increased the chances of becoming a fourth-level alchemist.

While Ye Xuanwei was feeling somewhat nervous and uneasy, Ye Yunchuan spoke up again: "Ye Xuanqing is now a disciple of the Slaughtering God Sect, has he taken on a master?"

Ye Xuanwei showed no mercy in belittling Qi Zhiheng. He gave a troubled smile and said, "Ancestor, Ye Xuanqing has indeed taken a master, but his master is mediocre, merely a Golden Core cultivator who has taken in over a hundred disciples. With so many disciples, Ye Xuanqing probably won't learn anything from him. Becoming a Level Two Alchemist is only possible because of the noble bloodline of our Ye family. I think that if we continue to let Ye Xuanqing continue like this, it will hinder his alchemy skills."

Ye Yunchuan nodded, showing some recognition of the Ye family's noble bloodline: "Since he is such a talented person, I shouldn't let the descendants of the Ye family wander outside. The descendants of the Ye family should return to the Ye family and enjoy the treatment they deserve."

Ye Xuan asked humbly, "What the ancestor says is true. So, ancestor, what should we do?"

Ye Yunchuan took out some spiritual items and handed them to Ye Xuanwei, saying to him, "Go and meet Ye Xuanqing on my behalf, give him the gifts, and ask him to come back with you. As for leaving the Slaughter God Sect, I will talk to the Slaughter God Sect Master after he returns, and then he will come back with us."

Ye Xuan, having obtained several boxes of spiritual items, bowed and said, "I will obey the ancestral command. Your son and grandson will go find Ye Xuanqing now."

"Go ahead." Ye Yunchuan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Xuanwei had to apply for the qualification to enter Danfeng. Danfeng was a peak that even fellow disciples could not enter at will, let alone outer disciples like them.

He walked towards the direction of Danfeng, unable to resist opening the spiritual item in his hand to take a look. Upon seeing what was inside, his breath caught in his throat. Besides some second and third-grade spiritual herbs for absorption, there were even pills for breaking through to the Golden Core stage! This greatly surprised him, and his face contorted in shock. He had served Ye Yunchuan like a slave for so long and had never received such a treatment with pills. What did Ye Hanyuan do to deserve this?! After a moment of anger, he quickly calmed down. A thought struck him, and he decided to keep the pills. With these pills, he was certain he would successfully enter the Golden Core stage in the future!

After packing his things, he retrieved the token to enter Danfeng and headed towards Ye Hanyuan's courtyard.

Ye Hanyuan was still lying on the bed, feeling somewhat weak. His senior brother was serving him tea and water, and he only had to open his mouth.

After confirming that his disciple was alright, Qi Zhiheng handed Ye Hanyuan over to Rong Gu for care. In fact, Ye Hanyuan was already almost fully recovered, but he was still a little weak and lying in bed looking like a dead man. It wasn't that he was in such a bad state, but it seemed that he hadn't experienced being cared for like this in a long time. He felt quite good having Rong Gu feed him medicine and food.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Ye Hanyuan felt the urge to urinate. Just as he got up, Rong Gu stopped him, saying, "What are you doing? Don't get up, I'll help you."

Ye Hanyuan tried to get up, saying, "No need, I just need to go to the restroom."

"Wait! You're still injured. I'll get you a chamber pot." Rong Gu pulled a chamber pot out of his storage ring. "It's new and clean. You can use this one."

Ye Hanyuan: "..." What kind of deity would put a chamber pot in a storage ring! Even if it were new, he would still find it hard to accept; the spirit rice he used to cook porridge was taken from this storage ring!

Ye Hanyuan refused, saying, "Senior Brother! I don't need it. I'm almost fully recovered. I can get up and go to the outhouse."

Rong Gu refused, saying, "No, Master has entrusted you to me, so I must take good care of you. If you want to go to the outhouse, I'll carry you there."

Ye Hanyuan hurriedly waved his hand to refuse: "No need, no need! I'm really much better, I can stand up without any problem, senior brother, don't worry." After he finished speaking, he quickly sat up! But he was too embarrassed to be lively and energetic right after Rong Gu had just fed him porridge, so he pretended to be weak for a while, and then sat up very steadily despite his "weakness".

"Alright, Senior Brother, I'm just going to the restroom." Ye Hanyuan was about to leave, but Rong Gu was worried and followed him to the outhouse.

Ye Hanyuan was starting to regret it. Why did she have to pretend to be weak? Now look what happened!

After Ye Hanyuan finished using the toilet, he walked back to his room under Rong Gu's urging.

As they approached the door, a junior brother came over and said, "Second Senior Brother, there's someone in the alchemy room who says he's looking for you."

Ye Hanyuan frowned, genuinely wondering who would be looking for him, but he also had some vague guesses in his mind.
