For so many years, because of Ye Chen, the Ye family Disciples either enjoyed a pampered life within the family or relied on the Ye family's influence to commit all sorts of evil in Qingcheng Mountain.
If the Wang family were to declare war on the Ye family, could these people resist them?
One must know that in Qingcheng Mountain, the Wang family was the sole dominant power.
One can imagine how formidable the Wang family's strength was.
As soon as they thought of the consequences that would arise if the matter of Ye Lin was not handled well, these Ye family Disciples couldn't help but shiver, and they all secretly made up their minds: no matter what, they must find Ye Lin.
Who would still dare to suggest returning to the Ye family to Ye Tian? Wasn't this indirectly inviting trouble for the Ye family?
After all, their entire families were in the Ye family.
At that time, if the Wang family made things difficult for the Ye family, even if they themselves suffered, their parents, wives, and children would likely not fare any better.
Thinking of this, these Ye family Disciples, with determined expressions, secretly thought: “We will not return to the Ye family until we find Ye Lin!”
… … … …
Inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Ye Chen took down the roasted meat, tore off a large piece, and handed it to Ye Lin, saying, “Here, Lin'er, eat!”
Looking at the fragrant roasted meat Ye Chen handed over, Ye Lin quickly took it, ate a small bite, and said with a happy face, “Brother's roasted meat is so delicious…”
Ye Chen chuckled, “If it's good, then eat more!”
Saying that, Ye Chen tore off another large piece and placed it in front of Ye Lin, then began to eat himself.
Looking at the gradually dimming fire in front of him, Ye Chen added a few more branches, and while eating the roasted meat, he placed the hide he had stripped from the Lightning Leopard earlier next to the fire to roast.
He was thinking of using it as a mat for Ye Lin to rest on the ground at night.
After all, when they were in the stone chamber earlier, the hide of that Scarlet Meteorite Snake was too tough; even if he stripped it off, it wasn't suitable for laying on the ground.
Unlike the Lightning Leopard's hide, which was not only soft but also very warm.
It was very suitable for Ye Lin to use as a cushion to lie on and rest.
Just like that, not much time passed.
When Ye Chen felt he had eaten enough, he got up and extinguished the fire on the ground, then picked up the already roasted Lightning Leopard hide and walked back to the stone cave with Ye Lin.
Inside the stone cave.
Under the illumination of the Void Gazer Stone, even at night, the stone cave was very bright.
Entering the stone cave.
Ye Chen walked to an open space, then spread the Lightning Leopard's hide on the ground, turned his head, and settled Ye Lin, saying, “Lin'er, it's getting late, you should go rest!”
Ye Lin nodded slightly, saying, “Brother, how can I use such a large beast hide all by myself? Why don't you divide this hide into two halves, and we each take one half!”
Ye Chen chuckled, “No need, Lin'er, you can just use the extra hide as a blanket to wrap yourself in and sleep!”
“Brother still needs to Cultivate, so I won't disturb your rest!”
Saying that, Ye Chen lifted his foot and walked out of the stone cave, saying as he went, “Lin'er, Brother will be outside. If you need anything, just call Brother!”
Looking at Ye Chen's departing back, Ye Lin felt very uneasy and said, “I understand, Brother!”
Although Ye Chen said he was going out to Cultivate, Ye Lin knew all too well that Ye Chen was actually standing guard for her.
After all, although this place was very hidden, that was only relative to humans.
For a Yao Beast, no matter how hidden you were, what good would it do?
One must know that a Yao Beast's sense of smell is naturally very keen.
Moreover, Yao Beasts generally hunt prey by relying on scent.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was fine during the day, as Yao Beasts didn't come out much.
But at night, it was when Yao Beasts foraged, and even Ye Chen didn't dare to relax his vigilance.
Outside the stone cave.
As soon as Ye Chen walked out, he saw streaks of light seeping out from the bushes outside the stone cave.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Chen secretly thought that something was wrong, then looked around, wondering what method he could use to block the stone cave.
Otherwise, if this continued, not to mention Yao Beasts, even a person passing by here would find it unusual.
Looking at Ye Chen, who saw nothing but bushes and towering trees all around, he suddenly had an idea. His figure flashed, and he arrived by the nearby waterfall, found a large stone, drew out his Heavy Sword Wufeng, cut it into a stone the size of the cave, then exerted force with both hands, let out a low shout, and carried the stone back towards the stone cave.
Feeling the heavy weight in his hands, Ye Chen secretly rejoiced, “Thankfully, when I was in the stone chamber earlier, I not only increased my Physical Body strength several times but also Cultivated the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Demon God to the third transformation…”
“Otherwise, with my current cultivation, trying to lift this stone would undoubtedly be much more difficult…”
In just a few breaths.
When Ye Chen carried the large stone back to the cave, he placed it directly at the entrance of the stone cave, looked it over a few times, and it just perfectly blocked the cave.
“Boom…”
Inside the cave, Ye Lin, who was just about to rest, suddenly sat up with a start like a startled bird when she heard the loud noise, looking out of the cave, bewildered.
She even called out with some fear, “Brother, are you there?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Lin finished calling, she saw Ye Chen, covered in dirt, walk in, patting the dirt off his body as he said, “Lin'er, I went out just now and saw light from inside the cave escaping, so I found a large stone, thinking of blocking it. I didn't scare you, did I?”
Ye Lin, who had initially thought something had happened, when she learned it was Ye Chen's doing, immediately patted her chest, let out a long breath, and said, “Brother, you scared me to death! I thought a Yao Beast had come!”
Ye Chen finished patting off the dirt from his body and said, “Silly girl, with Brother here, even if a Yao Beast came, what could it do…”
“Alright, you rest. Brother will go out first…”
Saying that, Ye Chen lifted his foot and walked out of the stone cave, pushing the large stone next to it to the entrance of the stone cave. Looking at the large stone that perfectly blocked the entrance, he said with satisfaction, “This way, even if I go out during the day, I won't have to worry about Lin'er being in danger here!”
“This truly kills two birds with one stone…”
Looking at his masterpiece, Ye Chen nodded with great satisfaction, then found a secluded spot, closed his eyes slightly, and began to Cultivate.
This was not because Ye Chen didn't want to go into the Myriad Ancient Heavenly Tomb to Cultivate, but because Ye Chen was afraid that while he was Cultivating in the Myriad Ancient Heavenly Tomb, a Yao Beast might find this place by following the scent.
Although the entrance of the stone cave was blocked by a large stone by Ye Chen.
But who could guarantee that it wouldn't be knocked open by a Yao Beast?
So, to be safe, Ye Chen Cultivated with his eyes closed while also paying attention to the movements around him.
Fortunately, there was no movement that night.
Otherwise, Ye Chen would have to interrupt his Cultivation and go deal with the Yao Beast.
The next day.
Ye Chen, who was still Cultivating, slowly woke up, got up, stretched his legs, moved the large stone blocking the entrance of the stone cave, and called out, “Lin'er, time to get up…”
