Chapter 1082: Chapter 1078 Strange Gesture?

From Ye Xuong’s eyes, an unyielding expression burst forth. In Ye Xuong’s view, even if he sacrificed his own life, he could not let someone like Tian Si taint the source of power of the Martial Artists in Night King Hall.

Ye Xuong was poised for action, but Tian Si seemed to have no intention of snatching the fragment of the Spirit Vein Stone from Ye Xuong’s hand…

Tian Si glanced at Ye Xuong and then looked towards the direction of the backyard of the Night King Hall headquarters estate. He then smiled and said, “Although it is a miraculous power, for us, this power is too weak. We don’t even take a liking to it, so you don’t need to worry about us taking this power!”

Ye Xuong remained perplexed. Tian Si chuckled and continued, “‘We,’ of course, refers to us, the Black Hole Clan, including several elders! In the eyes of the elders, weak power, no matter how magical, provides relatively little help to the tribe members, just like chicken ribs!

Only powerful, endless, and everlasting power is what our Black Hole Clan pursues. Like the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ in your hand, only similar power can attract the interest of us, the Black Hole Clan!”

Tian Si’s gaze focused again on the blindfold hidden in Ye Xuong’s arms. However, this blindfold, Ye Xuong was determined not to give it to someone like Tian Si!

“Want the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ then you have to rely on your own abilities!”

Ye Xuong pushed all his internal power to its peak in an attempt to confront Tian Si. Even if he could not defeat his opponent, he would perish together with him, absolutely not allowing the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ to fall into the hands of the Black Hole Clan!

Just when Ye Xuong fully expected Tian Si to fight him to the death, Tian Si suddenly withdrew his hand, no longer looking at Ye Xuong and the backyard of the Night King Hall…

“Although initially, my mission was to retrieve the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ after engaging in battle with you, I suddenly obtained some useful intelligence. For us, the Black Hole Clan, intelligence is extremely important. Even though my strength is above yours, if we continue to fight, I have no assurance of victory!

If I end up in a situation where we both are seriously injured, I would not be able to convey the useful intelligence to the elders. So, although I couldn’t take the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ considering the intelligence obtained, perhaps it was a worthwhile deal!”

Tian Si spoke eloquently, but Ye Xuong did not understand his words, leaving Ye Xuong totally baffled and knowing not how to respond.

As for Tian Si, he had no intention of paying more attention to Ye Xuong. He promptly took steps and left the Night King Hall headquarters estate.

Tian Si’s Qinggong was exceptional. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared far away, rendering Ye Xuong unable to chase after him. Moreover, Ye Xuong had important matters on hand, so he could not pursue Tian Si.

“What did he mean by that…”

Ye Xuong’s mind was in a whirl as he could not understand Tian Si’s words or what kind of action the Black Hole Clan elders would take after Tian Si informed them about the Spirit Vein Stone fragment buried in the backyard of the Night King Hall headquarters estate.

Nevertheless, if the Black Hole Clan coveted the Spirit Vein Stone fragment, Ye Xuong naturally could not let them succeed!

Thus, Ye Xuong rushed to the backyard, dug out the Spirit Vein Stone fragment from the soil, and carried it with him, then hurriedly headed towards the southern city.

Along the way, Ye Xuong feared being tracked by the Black Hole Clan people, so he traveled very cautiously and with great speed, which placed a significant burden on his body. Moreover, Ye Xuong had suffered considerable internal injuries from his battle with Tian Si, thus his body gradually failed.

But even so, Ye Xuong persisted by relying on his strong willpower, eventually reaching the southern city. After returning to Xiangshan Villa, Ye Xuong saw his companions and immediately fell unconscious…

“So that’s how it is, Ye Xuong, you have worked hard!”

After hearing about Ye Xuong’s experiences, Ye Tian could not help but sigh.

Ye Tian originally thought that Ye Xuong’s task of fetching the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ from Jiangcheng was a simple affair, but Ye Tian never expected Ye Xuong to encounter such danger.

If it weren’t for Ye Xuong’s quick thinking, he would have already died at the hands of Tian Si, this skilled individual from the Black Hole Clan!

Although Ye Xuong escaped death and safely brought back the item he needed, Ye Tian still felt uneasy about Tian Si and the Black Hole Clan’s intentions…

Ye Tian instinctively felt that things weren’t that straightforward!

“Ye Xuong, did you bring back the Spirit Vein Stone fragment as well?”

Ye Tian asked straight out, and Ye Xuong immediately took out the Spirit Vein Stone fragment he had stored closely and handed it to Ye Tian.

“Boss, I’m sorry for moving the soil without permission…”

Ye Xuong said apologetically. Ye Tian chuckled and replied, “Ye Xuong, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. You did a good job with this matter. If it weren’t for you bringing back this fragment, it might have long become the possession of the Black Hole Clan!”

Holding the Spirit Vein Stone fragment in his hand, Ye Tian felt quite a bit of emotion…

The complete Spirit Vein Stone lies buried deep beneath Jiangcheng’s city center, unnoticed by anyone on a daily basis, impossible to find!

The Sima Family has been coveting the Spirit Vein Stone, aiming to purify medicine that grants immortality at the cost of the entire Jiangcheng!

Ye Tian certainly cannot allow such events to transpire, hence the clash with the Sima Family, during which he also formed a bond with the Ye family…

With the Ye family’s ‘Ice Heart Awl,’ Ye Tian managed to take a small fragment from the complete Spirit Vein Stone. Though small, it greatly benefits the Martial Artists of Night King Hall.

Now, the fragment has traveled from Jiangcheng to the southern city, and Ye Tian is naturally set on ensuring the fragment’s utility is maximized!

“Ding Da, Bilis, you two, bury this fragment again. This way, the brothers here can absorb the power of the Spirit Vein Stone fragment again!”

Speaking, Ye Tian handed the fragment to Ding Da and Bilis, and the two left immediately following the command, leaving Ye Xuong’s room.

After they left, Ye Tian said to Ye Xuong, “Ye Xuong, what you’ve done so far is impeccable, so don’t have too much psychological burden. Rest assured while recuperating, because you are an indispensable force in the Night King Hall!”

Ye Xuong nodded immediately, and Ye Tian no longer stayed in the room, but left directly…

After coming out, a group of martial artists from the Night King Hall immediately gathered around Ye Tian, all inquiring about the situation of Ye Xuong.

When Ding Da and Bilis came out, although both had heard about Ye Xuong’s encounter, they kept quiet, and that’s why the martial artists came to ask Ye Tian…

However, Ye Tian did not answer these martial artists but said, “Brothers, the key now is to strengthen our own power, not to ask about the cause of Ye Xuong’s injury! Because even if we know who injured Ye Xuong, we cannot avenge him!

Now, Ye Xuong has brought the Spirit Vein Stone fragment here, buried in this courtyard. Brothers, isn’t this our opportunity? Hurry and train!”

Ye Tian’s words excited the martial artists, and all of them stopped inquiring about the cause of Ye Xuong’s injury and started to train seriously.

However, a martial artist seemed to be a bit stubborn. She stepped up to Ye Tian and asked, “Ye Tian, can I not know the cause of Ye Xuong’s injury?”

This martial artist was Tian Qi, a special existence among the martial artists.

Ye Tian could order other martial artists but could never be indifferent to Tian Qi…

“Qiqi, if it’s you, I can tell you!”

Ye Tian smiled and said, then pulled Tian Qi aside and told her word for word the incident he had heard from Ye Xuong.

Tian Qi listened, looking quite perplexed!

“Tian Si… Ye Xuong was able to withstand him… Tian Si is indeed formidable…”

Tian Qi’s attitude surprised Ye Tian a bit.

This lady from the Black Hole Clan seemed most concerned not about the reason for Ye Xuong’s injury, but rather about “Ye Xuong being able to withstand Tian Si”!

Ye Tian asked curiously, but Tian Qi quickly turned her face away.

Although Tian Qi deliberately hid her emotions, Ye Tian, being observant, could naturally see through her.

When Tian Qi came to Night King Hall, her prowess was astonishing. It seemed that except for Ye Tian, no one was her match.

But in the end, Ye Xuong and Tian Qi ended in a draw, which somewhat displeased Tian Qi…

If ranked, Tian Qi’s ability was naturally not as good as Tian Si’s, but Ye Xuong was able to draw with Tian Si, which meant his prowess had advanced to the level of contending with Tian Si during this period.

In comparison, Tian Qi had stagnated, naturally leaving her discontent…

“Don’t worry, Qiqi, your talent is amazing, so please don’t mind those so-called gender roles. Focus on doing your own thing earnestly!”

Ye Tian patted Tian Qi’s shoulder to comfort her.

This comfort was like a candle, warming Tian Qi’s heart…

“Can I… really do it…?”

Tian Qi asked timidly, and Ye Tian immediately nodded.

“Of course! Qiqi! I believe in you! You can definitely do it!”

Ye Tian’s words gave Tian Qi immense encouragement.

Though born into the Black Hole Clan, even there the concept of male dominance persisted firmly.

But Tian Qi didn’t believe in such conventions. She kept training diligently until she reached the “Thirteen Guardians” level of strength!

In this, Tian Qi felt very satisfied. She didn’t want to lose to those men, nor did she want to be labeled as weak just because she was a woman!
