Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Trouble Comes Knocking!
Chapter 354 Trouble Comes Knocking! . . .
Reaching the Level Three region, the gale winds were noticeably weaker.
The human martial artists living in this region were mostly living in a tribal manner.
Ye Yuan rode on a miniature spirit boat. After two days of flying, he finally arrived at the Cloud Prancing Tribe.
Along the way, Ye Yuan poked around and got the information that the Cloud Prancing Tribe was very far away from the Lan Family Tribe and completely could not extend here. This made him set his mind completely at ease.
"Young Master Ji, ahead is our Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong pointed a little way off and said.
The Lan Family Tribe all knew Ye Yuan's identity. Ye Yuan obviously would not use his real name and walk around. Hence, he gave Li Hong a fake name.
Of course, it could not be counted as fake either, because Ji Qing, this name, was also considered Ye Yuan's real name.
Ye Yuan naturally saw the Cloud Prancing Tribe too, because this tribe was much bigger than the Lan Family Tribe, looking rather like a small town in the Endless World.
Once they entered the tribe, a rather primeval aura reached his face. Ye Yuan had to admit that the Fierce Gale World's living conditions were indeed overly grueling.
Li Hong and the others brought Ye Yuan straight to the patriarch's compound. But the scene before their eyes made them dazed. A foreboding feeling welled up in their hearts. n))O()v.-e/)l.-b-.I..n
Gazing over, white silk hung everywhere outside the compound. It was actually the manner of having a funeral.
Li Yan's tears already flowed down uncontrollably. "Sniff, sniff, is Young Patriarch . . ."
"Shut up! Young Patriarch will step into the Soul Sea Realm in the future and inherit the patriarch position. How can he possibly die?" Li Hong said through clenched jaws.
In truth, he already knew too. Holding a funeral procession at this time, it was almost certain that something happened to Young Patriarch. It was just that he was unwilling to admit it verbally.
After all, his goal was still to borrow the use of the transmission array.
Li Hong, Li Yan, and the rest took a blow from this news. Their minds were already in kind of a stupor long ago.
"We're at fault, we're really guilty! It's all our fault that we didn't bring the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng back in time! Except . . . Elder Zhu Shan, can you let us see the young patriarch for one last time?" Li Hong said agitatedly.
But Zhu Shan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Young Patriarch was our Cloud Prancing Tribe's future. You committed such a heinous crime against him and still have the face to see him? Aren't you all afraid of profaning him and letting him unable to get peace in death?"
Zhu Shan's words struck the heart word by word. With him saying that, how could Li Hong have the face to go meet Young Patriarch a final time?
Seeing that his words already took effect, Zhu Shan said to the people behind him again, "What are you all still standing there for? Quickly take them down! En? Hang on! Who are these two people?"
Actually, Zhu Shan saw Ye Yuan and Lan Feng long ago. He only pointed the spearhead to Ye Yuan at this time.
He did not pay heed to Ye Yuan. It was just that Li Hong they all actually brought a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm back. This made Zhu Shan rather fearful.
Zhu Shan's words made Li Hong feel frightened in his heart. He only remembered that Ye Yuan was still by the side at this time.
Causing Young Patriarch's death already made him unbelievably guilty. If he even implicated his savior, he would really find it hard to absolve his sins even with a hundred deaths.
"Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us met a Crimson Tailed Scorpion on the brink of advancing in the Level Four gale region. Fortunately, Young Master Ji rescued us. I request for Elder Zhu Shan not to make things difficult for him." Li Hong hurriedly explained.
Who knew that Zhu Shan's face changed and he said grimly, "You all are clearly aware that the tribe is facing troubled times right now. You actually still dare to bring outsiders over?! In my view, they are highly suspicious! Did you all purposely collude with outsiders to harm Young Patriarch?"
"How can Elder Zhu Shan say such things? The five of us are staunch and steadfast to Young Patriarch. This point, Patriarch can stand witness! Young Master Ji and us really just met coincidentally! I hope that Elder Zhu Shan can let them leave!" Li Hong was taken aback as he said.
"Humph! Young Patriarch's ailment is originally very odd already. The cause still hasn't been found out up until now. Young Patriarch just passed away last night, and you guys brought outsiders to the tribe. It's seriously too suspicious! The way I see it, it's still better to keep the two of them here! If investigations reveal in the end that they really have nothing to do with Young Patriarch's death, we'll naturally let them leave!" Zhu Shan said.
Ye Yuan's eyebrows furrowed. He did not find trouble, but he did not think that trouble still came knocking.
Immediately, he said icily, "Keeping us here also has to depend on whether or not you have this capability!"
Zhu Shan smiled coldly and said, "Heh heh, revealed your true colors? If you don't have any ulterior motives, why would you be afraid of us investigating? Looking at your appearance, are you planning on resisting stubbornly to the end? Isn't it just a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm? How can our Cloud Prancing Tribe be unable to even bring out a couple of Sea Transformation Realms?"
Ye Yuan was just about to speak when Li Hong resolved his heart and blocked in front of Ye Yuan!
