Chapter 2308 - 2306: I Will Not Let Their Sacrifice Be in Vain!

Chapter 2308: Chapter 2306: I Will Not Let Their Sacrifice Be in Vain!

For three days straight, Ye Tianchen hadn’t left the underground palace. During the day, he would wander around, chatting and talking with anyone he met, and at night, he would drink with Hu Gao, Tian Boguang, and Little Zhu Yan. This behavior puzzled many; Ye Tianchen had said he would emerge, that he would avenge the four deceased women. Why was there no action yet? Could it be that he was all talk without the confidence or determination to act?

During these days, Ye Tianchen visited the fishing elder twice. To be honest, he was increasingly puzzled by the longevity of this senior; how had he lived so long? Previously, in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, Ye Tianchen subconsciously thought it must be the effects of the Divine Spring Pond and Dragon Whisker Fish that allowed the fishing elder to prolong his life. But now it seemed not so simple. Even if the Divine Spring Water and Dragon Whisker Fish had some spiritual energy effects, they were at most the strength of the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, increasing life span but certainly not to seven thousand years!

In this world devoid of examples of immortality, the length of one’s life had almost become the ultimate pursuit for martial artists. Only by gaining longevity could one see things previously unseen. Most beings still pursued longer life spans!

Could the fishing elder, with a mortal body and common status, really achieve nearly seven thousand years of life just by consuming Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass? Even if one reached the Saint Realm, with access to Divine Spring Water and Dragon Whisker Fish, a lifespan of seven thousand years was not guaranteed. How did the fishing elder manage this?

However, despite his interactions with the fishing elder, Ye Tianchen hadn’t found answers. He wasn’t in a rush to find them either. Night fell, and Ye Tianchen once again drank with Hu Gao, Tian Boguang, and Little Zhu Yan, without stating any plans for the future. This left Hu Gao, Tian Boguang, and Little Zhu Yan looking at each other, puzzled by his reasons.

"Haha, I say, Brother Ye, should we go out to see the outside world next?" Hu Gao asked with a smile.

"Hmm, it’s not the right time yet!" Ye Tianchen nodded and replied.

"Not the right time? Brother Ye, it’s been three days and three nights. Aren’t we going to take action? I’m really struggling to contain my impulse!" Tian Boguang spoke up.

"Let’s wait a little longer!" Ye Tianchen said, taking a sip of wine.

"What exactly are you waiting for? To be honest, we’re growing restless. The injustice faced by Desolate Stone Village cannot go unanswered, and those four women worthy of everyone’s respect must not have died in vain. Though I’m wary of trouble, I’ll be the first to fight for their vengeance!" Little Zhu Yan declared resolutely.

"I know you’ve all been speculating these days, waiting for me to speak. What I can tell you is: let’s wait a bit longer. After over a year of waiting, what’s a few more days? Frankly, I’m itching to destroy the Blood Killing Organization!" Ye Tianchen said, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

"But we’ve waited so long! Why are we waiting? Can’t you just tell us?" Hu Gao said with a frustrated look.

Bam!

Bam!

Suddenly, two loud noises came from not far away; they were the sounds of the emergence of those who had been secluded in two caves. Ye Tianchen smiled slightly, eyes full of killing intent, and said, "We can take action now!"

"You—you’re waiting for Fengchan and Little Shitou to come out?" Hu Gao finally reacted and asked.

"Hmm!" Ye Tianchen nodded and replied.

"You mean we’re taking them along?" Tian Boguang asked after thinking for a moment.

"No, I’m planning for them to guard this underground palace!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and replied.

"That’s right; it’s necessary. Although hidden beneath a waterfall for over a year, it’s very safe, undiscovered. However, with the current chaos in the Martial Arts World and emergence of demon strongmen, it’s only a matter of time before this place is found. No matter when we act, we must leave strength in Desolate Stone Village to prevent villagers from being in danger!" Little Zhu Yan understood and nodded.

When Ye Tianchen returned to Desolate Stone Village, he only saw three of the five disciples: Ming Jue, Tian Feng, Cai Meier, but not Fengchan and Little Shitou. Knowing they were in seclusion, Ye Tianchen did not disturb them, just waited for them to emerge!

All these days, Ye Tianchen waited for these two disciples to come out so he could leave peacefully. With these five, who have grown up, guarding, even if Desolate Stone Village were found, it wouldn’t face annihilation immediately—a basic safety guarantee!

Swish!

Swish!

Two figures swiftly rushed to Ye Tianchen—they were Fengchan and Little Shitou. Seeing their master Ye Tianchen, they froze, with tears welling in their eyes. Recall that the rumors of Ye Tianchen’s death had spread, claiming he was struck by a half-step Saint’s blow, leaving everyone hopeless, thinking Ye Tianchen was doomed. Not that they didn’t hold hope, but because the idea of surviving such an attack seemed impossible!

"Master!"

"Master!"

Fengchan and Little Shitou kneeled before Ye Tianchen, kowtowing in joy, almost bursting into tears. Having believed they would never see their master again, finding him alive was inexpressible joy, conveyed simply by repeatedly calling him "Master."

"Hmm, very good, you both have grown significantly. In just a few short years, you’ve reached the Martial Venerate Realm, perhaps surpassing me in a few more years!" Ye Tianchen laughed happily.

Ye Tianchen recognized Fengchan and Little Shitou’s cultivation realm. When he saw Ming Jue, Tian Feng, and Cai Meier, he saw they were all at the early-stage Martial Venerate realm. Upon seeing Fengchan and Little Shitou, he saw Little Shitou was at this realm too, while Fengchan had reached mid-stage Martial Venerate. He was the most talented among the five disciples, so such strength was expected!

"Stand up, I’m thrilled to see you again!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Master, please continue guiding our cultivation!" Fengchan said joyfully. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Haha, certainly!" Ye Tianchen replied with satisfaction, nodding.

"Master, are you aware..." Little Shitou hesitated to speak.

"Hmm, I know. I’m waiting for you to come out for an important task!" Ye Tianchen nodded.

"Master, are you avenging the four mistresses? You must take me with you; I want to personally destroy the Blood Killing Organization!" Little Shitou said furiously.

"Yes, Master, and me too!" Fengchan quickly added.

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And us!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen’s words attracted many from Desolate Stone Village: not only Ming Jue, Tian Feng, and Cai Meier but also ordinary villagers. They heard Ye Tianchen’s words, wanting to join in avenging Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and Liu Rumei. Their constrained anger had long built up!

"Everyone, calm down. I know your intentions and am very touched. However, this task requires patience. The Blood Killing Organization is incredibly strong, beyond imagination. You just wait for good news here!" Ye Tianchen reassured the crowd.

"We want revenge for the four women who repeatedly fought to protect Desolate Stone Village!"

"Right, if it weren’t for these four women, we’d already be dead!"

"Now we’re alive, but they’re dead. It’s hard for us to bear; we’re devastated. We’re willing to die for them!"

"We from Desolate Stone Village don’t fear death!"

The villagers were impassioned. Ye Tianchen was moved. Even during his time in Desolate Stone Village, he never received such support, indicative of how much Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and Liu Rumei had done to protect it, investing their heart and effort!

"Can everyone listen to me? Surviving as Desolate Stone Village has been very challenging, thanks to their efforts. Would perishing now honor them?" Ye Tianchen asked seriously.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, the villagers calmed down, whispering among themselves, unsure of what to do. After thinking, Ye Tianchen said, "Rest assured, those four will not have died in vain. I’ll never allow it! Whoever killed them, no matter the powerful legacy, I will turn it to ash!"

"Yes, Brother Ye is right. We’ll certainly pursue this matter, even if it costs our lives. Don’t worry!" Tian Boguang said resolutely.

"Everyone, return home. Wait for the good news; we set out tonight..." Ye Tianchen clenched his fist, his inner rage barely suppressible!
