It was better not to have seen him before than to be sure that Chen Yi was dead. Chen Jing's face was still ashen, but her heart was filled with anticipation.
Chen Jing's father, who was also Chen Yi's uncle, patted Chen Jing's shoulder and comforted her, "Chen Yi is actually very smart. He probably hid somewhere and will come out soon."
"Yes, that must be it." Chen Jing hurriedly nodded.
The others, on the other hand, did not see it that way. Looking at these people who had returned, the weakest of them was still a cultivator of six meridians.
He was merely a Four Branch Warrior, and had just become a Four Branch Warrior not too long ago. His skills and martial skills had probably not been cultivated to a high level, and without the protection of the Circulation Stage Elders, he would be in grave danger.
Chen Xun and Chen Chihee curled their lips.
Chen Yi, Second Uncle, wished that Chen Yi could just die inside. To Second Uncle, Chen Yi was after all, an outsider, and he might even be exposed later on. At that time, his Chen Family would inevitably be mocked by his Du Family.
An outsider had actually become the direct disciple of their Chen Family for so long.
If he died in the forest, perhaps he would be able to keep this secret forever.
Grandpa Chen Yi wasn't as ruthless as Second Uncle. Although he felt a little uneasy about Chen Yi not being his own grandson, after all, they had lived together for so many years. How could he possibly not feel anything for the safety of Chen Yi's life?
Secondly, if Chen Yiruo really died, how painful would his third son be?
Thinking of this, Grandpa Chen Yi wanted to go to the forest to save them.
Second Uncle said in a deep voice, "Dad, don't be impulsive. The mountains are so dangerous now. If we go in to save them, we might not be able to. We're already in trouble."
As Chen Yi Second Uncle said this, Grandpa Chen Yi started to hesitate.
Chen Yi's safety was indeed important, but it was the same for the rest of them, especially Chen Chihee. Grandpa Chen Yi had trained him to be the next Patriarch, and Chen Chihee was also the person who was most likely to reach the Innate Realm in these few years.
If something bad happened to Grandpa Chen Yi, he would probably regret it to death.
However, Eldest Uncle Chen Yi snapped: "Second Bro!" Obviously, Eldest Uncle Chen Yi was unhappy with his second brother being so cold-blooded.
Chen Jing was also furious in her heart, but Chen Yi and Second Uncle were seniors, so it wasn't good for Chen Jing to say anything. With a roll of her eyes, Chen Jing turned to the person who had just escaped with great difficulty and said, "Our three families have suffered heavy casualties, what about Jinlin Army?"
The Chen Family disciple who had escaped said: "I have seen those people from afar with Jinlin Army who were also attacked, but those with Jinlin Army were all in Circulation Stage and they formed a small team with barely enough strength to resist. In the end, they repelled an attacking Third Rank Demonic Beast, however, they were also severely injured, and if they were attacked by a powerful Third Rank Demonic Beast during this period of time, they might not be safe and sound."
"It is also because of this that I did not join them. Instead, I directly fled back."
Hearing that, Chen Jing turned to her father and said, "I don't know what is happening inside the mountain, the powerful Third Rank Demonic Beast are rioting one by one, adding on to that Ba Lei who is hiding in the darkness, the adults in Jinlin Army might not be safe and sound, do you want us to organize some reinforcements?"
"Especially that Lord Lin. If something were to happen inside the mountain, would his Lin Family spare our Yongde Town's three families?"
The moment he said that, Eldest Uncle Chen Yi, Second Uncle, and Grandpa Chen Yi's expressions all changed.
They could predict that if something really happened to that Lin Family member, the three families of Yongde Town would most likely accompany him in death.
Chen Yi, Second Uncle muttered: "The people with Jinlin Army are the weakest, and the three captains are all either of them with great Circulation Stage or with great Quasi-innate, what can happen to them?"
Third Rank Demonic Beast s were terrifying existences to the Circulation Stage Elders of the three families, but not necessarily to Quasi-innate s.
Even if several Third Rank Demonic Beast were to be combined together, it would still be difficult to cause any harm to the Quasi-innate.
But...
Eldest Uncle Chen Yi said in a deep voice, "The Three-Horned Green Deer and the Bramble Tree Demon are usually Demonic Beast s that do not seek trouble on their own accord, especially the Three-Horned Green Deer, which is an auspicious beast. Something must have happened in the depths of the forest that we don't know about, so we cannot just assume that Captain Lin is not going to be in danger because Captain Lin and the others have Quasi-innate."
"Besides, there's also Ba Lei, who is watching like a tiger in the dark. It's not impossible to ambush Captain Lin at the right time."
"The support Jinlin Army of our three families cannot be hidden from Ba Lei. If Ba Lei succeeds in escaping, do you think Ba Lei will take revenge on us?"
Chen Yi Second Uncle was stumped by the question. Thinking of the retaliation from Quasi-innate, Second Uncle was drenched in cold sweat.
Eldest Uncle Chen Yi continued, "Even if Ba Lei doesn't take revenge, Captain Lin will eventually get away with it. But if we don't investigate clearly what happened in the depths of the forest, will we be able to go back peacefully?"
"Those Third Rank Demonic Beast can mutate and suck human blood. They are bloodthirsty and have left the range of their daily activities. Can you guarantee that these Demonic Beast will not attack our town for a few more days?"
Chen Yi, Second Uncle's face revealed a terrified expression. This was not impossible.
From ancient times until now, it was not as if the Demonic Beast had never attacked the city, but something that had shocked countless people happened a thousand years ago in the Chaoling Continent.
A ninth level Heavenly Demon had led his many other great demons and annihilated a city. Their spirits were exterminated, and only the ancient Great Grandmaster of the imperial family was able to exterminate that ninth level Heavenly Demon.
The reason why the Yongde Town was not worried was that the Demonic Beast did not attack the city too often. It was because the Demonic Beast did not have much Qinglin Mountain, and they did not have many Third Rank Demonic Beast either.
However, if some change occurred in the forest and provoked the Demonic Beast, the result would be unknown.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. Grandpa Chen Yi could not care about his second son's misgivings anymore as he directly went to look for the Patriarch of Du Family and the Patriarch of Zhang Family, proposing to enter the mountain to assist them. In the meantime, he could save the disciples of the three families.
They and Chen Yi Second Uncle had the same concerns, and did not want to lose anymore manpower. Thinking about how the Circulation Stage elders they sent into the mountain had already died, the two of them felt extremely pained, five Circulation Stage s, this was too much of a loss, and it would take at least ten to twenty years before they could recover.
Grandpa Chen Yi had already known that the two of them would object, so he told the two of them about Uncle Chen Family's worries.
This time, the two Patriarchs had no choice but to agree.
No one wanted to endure the possible retaliation from the Lin Family, as well as the possible retaliation from the Quasi-innate.
However, the two patriarchs had also said that they could go with the Circulation Stage, and the younger generation could save them. Facing the Third Rank Demonic Beast s who had undergone an unknown change, the younger generation who were only at the Invigorated Meridian Stage level was basically unable to help and would instead be distracted.
Grandpa Chen Yi also agreed. He did the same, and only brought his eldest son and the few Circulation Stage s he had left behind to go together.
Chen Yi Second Uncle had been left behind by Grandpa Chen Yi in case something happened. To put it bluntly, it was to protect the rest of the younger generation.
Thus, the three families of over ten Circulation Stage experts once again entered the mountain.
"..."
In the forest, Chen Yi actually encountered a huge crisis. While Chen Yi was escaping out of the forest, he coincidentally discovered the Bramble Tree Demon hunting Circulation Stage.
The moment Chen Yi saw the change in the Bramble Tree Demon, he knew that it was another Third Rank Demonic Beast like the other Nine-poison Devilish Lizard, he turned around and ran.
Zhang Family saw Chen Yi, but his eyes lit up, and immediately rushed towards Chen Yi, hoping to use Chen Yi as a scapegoat for death.
Chen Yi's expression changed as he turned around and ran. He was cursing the Zhang Family in his heart, as they were really too useless.
"Chen Family brat, help this old man block this Bramble Tree Demon. Once this old man escapes, I will definitely bring someone to rescue you." Zhang Family shouted loudly.
Chen Yi Li ignored him and sped up instead.
Block one? A Demonic Beast of the Bramble Tree Demon's level, could he, a mere warrior of four meridians, block it?
Even if he had used all his firepower, the third stage of [Burning Devils Body], a mere first transition large success stage [Burning Devils Body] would at most allow him to have the strength to compete with Minor Circulation Warriors. Facing Bramble Tree Demon s like these who were considered extremely powerful existences, they were simply not worth mentioning.
"Bastard!" Seeing that Chen Yi did not turn back, the Zhang Family expression on his face changed sinisterly.
In order to survive, Zhang Family had hardened their hearts to use Chen Yi as a scapegoat.
"Shrinkage!" Using his Zhang Family and movement technique, his speed suddenly soared. As an expert in the middle stage of the Circulation Stage, he quickly closed in on Chen Yi.
"Crap!"
"Burning Devils Body!" Chen Yi roared. His body instantly swelled up. His shirt was torn, revealing layers of muscles. This showed the power of his powerful body.
On Chen Yi's forehead, two sinister horns appeared. The Black Flame surrounded Chen Yi and he looked like a Two-horned Demon who came out of a Black Flame.
"This is …" Zhang Family were stupefied, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Chen Yi would experience such a change. His aura explosively increased, giving him a sense of danger.
"It's a special bloodline …" 'This kid actually activated a special bloodline … '
"The Chen Family's special bloodline doesn't seem to be this. In other words, it's a variation?" The Zhang Family sucked in a deep breath, then revealed a look of jealousy, thinking that for a dignified Circulation Stage like him, he didn't even have any special bloodlines, and his talent was mediocre, yet, he had already reached the end of the middle stage of the Circulation Stage.
"Serves you right for dying for me!" Under his jealousy, Zhang Family couldn't wait for Chen Yi to die, and he still didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
In a life or death situation, Chen Yi could only expose his [White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword]. Holding the [White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword] in his hand, his murderous aura filled the air.
"Rushing the clouds to see the sun!"
The power of the sword technique displayed by the [White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword] was stronger than when he was using the [Violet Rain Sword]!
"Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapon! No, that's not right, it's Quasi-earth Level Godly Weapon! " The expression of his Circulation Stage was overwhelmed with shock.
