Chapter 122: Coming to the Door

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Coming to the Door

Seeing how chaotic the scene had become, Zhou Huaiwei stepped forward to take control.

"Alright, alright, everyone please come inside and have a seat. My husband has gone out; he isn’t at the manor right now."

"You can all wait here for a while. Please be patient. He should be back shortly."

"Come, come, everyone come in for a cup of tea and rest for a bit."

Hm?!

Hearing that Ye Yunyi wasn’t home, the crowd began to ask questions.

"Where has Lord Ye gone?"

"My husband said he was going to the Pan Family."

The Pan Family?!

Instantly, everyone recalled that the Pan Family was another major family within the barrier!

The Pan Family had been quite powerful before, but then their Patriarch, an Early-stage Star Level Mutant, was poisoned!

His strength plummeted!

The entire Pan Family faced the prospect of being carved up and dismantled!

But later!

Word was that the Pan Family had concocted an antidote, neutralizing the poison, and their Patriarch’s strength was restored!

It brought the entire Pan Family back from the brink of death!

Now, they were thriving. After all, with a Star Level Mutant presiding over them once more, no one would dare to bully them so casually.

Lord Ye had just arrived in the Cyan Ink Barrier. He was a stranger in a strange land. How would he know of the Pan Family, and why would he go straight to them?

What was he going there for?!

In an instant, a flurry of questions popped into the patriarchs’ minds.

The next moment, one of them had a sudden realization. "I think I heard that the Pan Family has quite a few beautiful girls who have just come of age. Could it be... that the Pan Family’s Patriarch invited Lord Ye over to...?"

Though the sentence was left unfinished, everyone understood the man’s meaning!

The corners of their mouths twitched!

’What the hell!’

’This is intolerable!’

The situation now was a race to be first!

After all, whoever was late would have to call another woman "big sister"!

Besides, there was a queue now!

"Let’s go! We’re going to the Pan Family too!"

"Yes, yes, let’s go together!"

"That Pan Patriarch is playing dirty, putting on airs. He should have come to find Lord Ye directly like the rest of us. To summon Lord Ye to him... he really doesn’t know his place!"

"Exactly!"

"Let’s go, we have to see what’s happening!"

........

After a series of shouts, the crowd headed for the Pan Family residence!

Only Zou Kai was left behind.

Zou Kai was speechless. ’You all just leaving like that makes me look like an idiot.’

He considered just leaving his gift there.

But then he remembered how precious it was. If it got lost, it wouldn’t matter if he sold himself; he could never replace it.

’I’d better hand it to Ye Yunyi personally.’

With that, he changed direction and followed the other patriarchs toward the Pan Family’s estate!

「Meanwhile!」

At the Pan Family residence!

The Pan Family guards stared into the distance!

Their eyes widened in disbelief at what they were seeing!

This!

What was this?!

"Look! Over there!"

"That’s... the young lady!"

"The young lady! She’s been captured!"

"That’s not right!" A guard beside him frowned. "Doesn’t the young lady have her own escort detail?"

His words served as a wake-up call for the others!

After all, ever since she brought back the poison gland that cured the Patriarch, she had become the Pan Family’s greatest hero. Not only had her status soared, but she was also assigned an escort team whenever she went out!

And those guards were anything but weak!

But now, the young lady was being held captive like this!

Not a single one of her guards was in sight!

Did that mean...!

A bold thought appeared in their minds!

’The entire escort team... was wiped out?!’

’How is that possible?!’

But if that wasn’t the case, how could the young lady have been captured?!

They then looked at Ye Yunyi’s hands, which were stained with blood!

Even the young lady had several bloodstains on her!

And!

What did it mean for Ye Yunyi to bring the young lady here now?!

’He killed members of the Pan Family and still dares to show up at our door?’

’What kind of nerve is that!’

’He’s looking for death!’

"I’ll go report to the Patriarch!"

Leaving those words behind, one of the guards rushed inside!

A moment later, he reached the Patriarch.

"This is bad, Patriarch!"

"Outside, someone has apparently killed the young lady’s escort team and is now approaching with her as a hostage!"

BOOM!

Those words!

It wasn’t just the Pan Family Patriarch, Pan Gongsheng, who was stunned!

The Pan Family’s upper echelons beside him were stunned too!

As they listened, fury welled up inside them!

Someone actually dared to be this audacious?!

Besides, who could Pan Xuechun have possibly provoked?

Who could she have provoked?!

’This must be aimed directly at our Pan Family!’

"Let’s go! We’ll see for ourselves!"

The members of the Pan Family immediately headed outside!

Just then, Ye Ming, who was recuperating in the courtyard, saw the Patriarch and the other high-ranking members all rushing outside.

He was stunned for a moment!

He asked someone nearby what was happening, and after learning the details...

An image of a figure slaying a giant serpent surfaced in Ye Ming’s mind. ’Could it be...?’

He, too, hurried outside.

Back at the entrance.

Ye Yunyi had already brought Pan Xuechun to the Pan Family’s gate. Pan Gongsheng glared at him. "Who are you?! Why did you kill our Pan Family’s people!"

"Me?"

Ye Yunyi laughed, his fury twisting into a smile. "By the time I’ve slaughtered your Pan Family, you won’t need to know."

BOOM!

Those words!

They landed on everyone’s hearts like a sledgehammer!

They were all left dumbfounded!

’What did that man just say?!’

’He’s going to slaughter the Pan Family?!’

’What arrogance!’

What incredible arrogance!

"Insolent!"

Pan Gongsheng watched, his eyes narrowing as his anger reached its peak. He prepared to strike!

At that moment, Ye Ming arrived at the gate and saw him. ’It really is him!’

’It really is Ye Yunyi!’

’He came all the way from the Cyan Flower Barrier?!’

’But coming here now... isn’t this just suicide?’

’What Level is he?!’

Even a Late-Diamond Stage would be completely crushed by the Patriarch’s Early-Star Stage strength!

’Then again, we were the ones in the wrong first.’

He prepared to speak up and explain.

But before he could say a word, in the next instant!

In the distance!

A cloud of dust billowed toward them!

Everyone stared, stunned!

What was that?!

A moment later!

They could see... was that a group of patriarchs?!

They were all riding their mounts, galloping in this direction!

Seeing these patriarchs, even Pan Gongsheng was taken aback!

’What’s the meaning of this?!’

He recognized many of them!

Most were Early-Star Stage or Late-Diamond Stage Mutants!

’Why are they showing up as a group now!’

And even stranger, why was each Patriarch accompanied by a young woman?

All of them exceptionally beautiful.

’How bizarre!’

The group of patriarchs galloped furiously.

They arrived at the scene.

And saw the tense, hostile standoff.

Their faces were filled with confusion.

In their minds,

wasn’t the Pan Family Patriarch supposed to have invited Lord Ye over to discuss a happy occasion?

Why was there blood?

Instantly, they all froze.

They couldn’t make sense of the situation before them, and they all just sat there, stunned, on their mounts.
