Chapter 1334: The Wang Family's Dire News

"Thud!"

Wang Yuqian's body hit the ground heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wang Yuqian! Ye Yuan, what... what is this?"

Luo Jian stared at Wang Yuqian, who lay like a dead dog, his face full of shock.

How could Ye Yuan, with his strength, have reduced Wang Yuqian to such a state?

Yet the fact was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about how it happened. I brought this fellow here for you to deal with. Kill him or flay him, it's up to you."

Luo Jian looked at Ye Yuan as if he didn't recognize him.

Still at the initial Cave Abyss stage, Ye Yuan's cultivation level hadn't changed at all.

But how had he managed to do it?

"Sp... spare me! Ye... Ye Yuan, it... it was all my fault. I apologize to you and Luo Jian! As long as you let me go, I'm willing to pay any price!" Wang Yuqian said weakly.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "I just said, everything is up to Brother Luo to decide. If he's willing to let you go, I have no objections."

It was Luo Jian who had narrowly escaped death; Ye Yuan wouldn't make that decision for him.

The reason he had brought Wang Yuqian here was to let Luo Jian vent his anger.

Luo Jian was not one to be soft-hearted; he would surely kill this fellow.

"Luo..."

Before he could even beg for mercy, a flash of cold light streaked by.

A powerful divine essence directly extinguished all his vitality.

The once-arrogant Wang Yuqian died just like that.

Luo Jian couldn't be bothered to waste words with him; given his nature, he wouldn't have bothered anyway.

"What a waste of breath! This guy didn't actually expect me to let him go, did he? How foolish!" Luo Jian said disdainfully.

Ye Yuan smiled at this and said, "When people are cornered, they always hope to survive."

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't beg for my life!" Luo Jian said indifferently.

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Well, are you satisfied now?"

Luo Jian nodded and said, "My mind is clear, and I'm satisfied! Ye Yuan, how exactly did you do it?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me! Not even the Pavilion Master can know. Can you do that?"

Luo Jian's expression stiffened, and he shook his head, saying, "I can't! Forget it, you'd better not tell me. You're really a freak, kid! I was worried for nothing!"

Luo Jian was quite open-minded, and it was precisely because of this that Ye Yuan held him in higher regard.

Ye Yuan could tell that Luo Jian really wanted to know what had happened, but he didn't want to hide it from Yang Rui, so he forced himself not to ask.

As for Ye Yuan, he naturally had no need to hide it from Luo Jian, but he knew Luo Jian's temperament, which was why he hadn't told him.

After all, Guiyun was now Ye Yuan's biggest trump card.

"By the way, Wang Yutao and Wang Yumin both came. What about them? Don't tell me they..." Luo Jian suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Wang Yumin has already been killed by me. As for Wang Yutao, he must be enjoying himself right now."

Luo Jian's face changed several times, and he said irritably, "You bastard, you're really a pervert!"

Before long, Chang Liang and the other five arrived. Seeing Ye Yuan, they immediately knelt down in unison.

"Thank you, sir, for helping us avenge Third Brother and Fifth Brother! From today on, the five of us will dedicate our lives to you! If you say east, we won't go west; if you want our lives, we brothers won't even blink!" Chang Liang said.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "What would I want with your lives? Take these pills and go back to cultivate properly."

With that, Ye Yuan casually tossed a small bottle to Chang Liang.

Chang Liang caught it and looked, then trembled all over and exclaimed, "Sir, this... this is too precious! We can't accept it!"

Inside the small bottle were actually divine-grade Divine Essence Pills!

Such things were priceless in Guishan City, unavailable even with money.

And Ye Yuan had just handed out ten of them!

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Just a few pills, nothing much. The deaths of Third Brother and Seventh Brother were ultimately caused by me. Consider these pills compensation for you."

Chang Liang and the others were even more grateful beyond words. He had been stuck at the mid Cave Abyss stage for many years, unable to break through.

With these divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, his breakthrough to the late Cave Abyss stage was now a foregone conclusion.

Not just him, but his brothers would also see a significant improvement thanks to these divine-grade Divine Essence Pills.

"Thank you, sir!" Chang Liang and the other five were now truly in awe of Ye Yuan.

...

"What did you say? Say it again!" In the Wang family, Wang Lingbo stood up abruptly and barked at the junior managing the ancestral hall.

"Patriarch, the soul lamps of Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and all the Wang family elites taken out this time have gone out!" the junior said, looking as if he had lost his parents.

A soul lamp was a lamp lit with a trace of a martial artist's divine soul energy, reflecting the martial artist's state of being.

Once a soul lamp went out, the martial artist was either dead or trapped in some forbidden land.

"How is that possible! The three elders are all Cave Abyss Great Perfection experts. Who in Guishan City could kill them all at once?" Wang Lingbo said, his whole body trembling.

The junior said with a mournful face, "Patriarch, at first I thought I had misread, but I checked several times—their soul lamps are indeed all out!"

Wang Lingbo slumped back into his seat, looking as if his soul had left him.

These three elders were the backbone of the Wang family!

Their deaths were a devastating blow to the Wang family.

It might even cause the Wang family to never recover!

They had gone to hunt down Ye Yuan. Could it be... they had all died at Ye Yuan's hands?

But how was that possible?

Ye Yuan was just a rookie at the initial Cave Abyss stage. Even with Luo Jian protecting him, how could he have caused all three elders to perish at once?

Wang Lingbo was utterly baffled!

After a long time, he said dejectedly to the junior, "I understand! This matter must be kept secret. If you dare leak a single word, you'll face family discipline!"

The junior repeatedly agreed and took his leave.

Wang Lingbo remained in that seated position, sitting for an entire night.

Ever since he had taken over the position of patriarch from Wang Yuxiang, he had been riding high.

Never had he felt as helpless as he did now!

Finally, at dawn, a haggard Wang Lingbo stood up and slowly walked into an underground secret chamber.

"Father!" Wang Lingbo called out in a hoarse voice.

Soon, an aged voice came from the chamber: "Is that Lingbo? What's happened?"

Wang Lingbo opened his mouth but didn't know how to begin.

"Hmm? That's not like you! Could it be that Yang Rui has made a move himself this time?" the old man said.

After a long silence, Wang Lingbo finally mustered the courage and said in a voice almost like a sob, "Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle... they may have fallen!"

"Boom!"

The door of the secret chamber exploded open, and a gust of wind rushed out from inside.
