842: Chapter 541 842: Chapter 541 Ye Shi and his team piloted their Flying Treasure, ceaselessly soaring through the northern skies in the morning, when everything should have been bursting with life!
The harsh winter prevented those who farmed for a living from working the fields, perhaps only coming out to sweep the snow in the early morning!
In the vast sea of people in the north, they couldn’t find Cai Xiangxiang’s village for a while!
Having arrived here, they lost contact with Ye Tian, as well as with Cai Xiangxiang and the others!
They found it very odd—how could everyone just disappear?
What they didn’t know was that Jiang Tang had turned that village into a castle, invisible to the outside world!
Jiang Tang had sealed off the castle, supposedly taking the people away last night, but even after dinner was ready, they had not returned!
At first, they thought they were just busy with something and stayed outside.
By dawn, these Immortals still hadn’t returned!
The villagers were anxious; it didn’t stop them from making breakfast, but they could do nothing but wait endlessly!
Jiang Tang had sealed them in; they couldn’t go out to search, and outsiders couldn’t come in!
All they could do was wait incessantly!
Cai Xiangxiang’s family was in a hurry—hardly reunited, and yet they had set off with Immortals in search of some treasure.
They had lived in the north for so long, if there truly were treasures, they would have been dug up long ago.
They wouldn’t dare say this in front of the numerous Immortals, thinking that Immortals possessed the unknown, and perhaps there indeed were hidden treasures here!
As they kept waiting without any sign of their return, they finished their breakfast.
Now in winter, there was nothing they could do!
With a cultivation manual obtained yesterday, they could only use this time to study, the whole village gathering to learn together!
Women and children learning together was quite lively, but they understood nothing and had no idea how to cultivate!
They had no choice, so they sought the advice of Yan Weiwei’s family, who had been cultivating for over a month and were able to guide and initiate those who had never cultivated before!
Yan Weiwei’s family also waited anxiously.
They tried to leave, but they couldn’t get out of the castle.
The family helped the entire village, explaining the cultivation of the heart while biding their time when not diligently practicing themselves!
…
After searching for a whole day, Ye Shi and his team had not found Cai Xiangxiang, nor Ye Tian, and they had not come across Jiang Tang and his party either!
Not wanting to return empty-handed, they continued to fly in the sky until they arrived before nightfall, hiding in the clouds above a forest!
They observed the Western Wolf Demons from a close distance!
“Could it be that these Western Wolf Demons have eaten them?” said someone from the team.
“No way, with my brother’s incredible abilities, how could he possibly be devoured by these Western Wolf Demons?” Ye Shi retorted, even as he sent a message to his father, asking him to check if his older brother’s Life Lamp was extinguished or not.
They couldn’t watch others, only relying on this situation to observe!
“What has happened?” General Ye, filled with a vague concern, listened to his youngest son’s question.
“Father, don’t ask so much, just go check on Big Brother’s Life Lamp first!”
Following his son’s words, General Ye sped to the Ye Family’s ancestral hall, breathing a sigh of relief as he found his eldest son’s Life Lamp still burning bright!
“Your brother’s Life Lamp is lit; tell me, what happened?” The concern of a father for his son was apparent—could his son have encountered danger while out?
His son had left with his fiancée and family members!
“Oh, it’s good to hear that nothing’s amiss!”
While Ye Shi relaxed, he also filled in his father about losing contact with his older brother and how he had encountered over a thousand human-transformed Western Wolf Demons in this forest!
“Do you need your father to bring help?” General Ye offered.
His son agreed with the suggestion and asked his father to send some people, considering his position in the Capital City.
With his older brother away from the Capital, what if those back home caused trouble?
Their entire family could be toppled by traitors!
General Ye sent reinforcements, but he truly couldn’t leave himself.
General Ye had his own reasons for being tied up in the Capital—every day, Princes visited the family, each demanding Supreme Elixirs.
Ye Tian had left to avoid these Princes, embarking on a divine tribulation.
Beyond the Princes, there was Princess Long Feifeng, among others, who shamelessly visited every day, each believing they deserved the elixirs by virtue of their noble birth.
Thinking the elixirs should be contributed unconditionally by the citizens and ministers, they played a never-ending game of entitlement.
Despite possessing great power, these royals expected unconditional tributes from those with abilities.
Their calculations were shrewd—the family of the Young General might have the most Supreme Elixirs.
The Ye Family’s bride brought a dowry of 200 Pills, yet these Kings refused to contribute!
The last time they sought out Jiang Tang, the King at his base, they were severely beaten.
With Jiang Tang’s store not yet open in the Capital, nor the street of shops constructed, the Princes turned to the Ye Family, looking for Jiang Tang and his subordinates to threaten them into tribute.
Although Luo Yaxuan was merely the scion of a First-rate Family, he had recently advanced from Golden Core Stage to Nascent Soul Stage.
