Chapter 297: Chapter 294 Ye Zhen’s Revenge

After a brief fury, Ye Zhen immediately regained his composure, and the Yu Family’s schemes unfolded clearly in his mind.

The nagging doubt that had been lingering in Ye Zhen’s heart was now resolved.

It should be said that martial artists who cultivate Jade Spirit Power are very rare, except for those like the Yu Family with such heritage. Now that the Yu Family had encountered Ye Zhen, a martial artist who cultivated Jade Spirit Power, apart from Yu Ning and Yu Ning having asked him before, the high ranks of the Yu Family had never mentioned it at all.

Ye Zhen had always felt that this was not quite normal, but now, the mystery had been fully unraveled; the Yu Family had long recognized that Ye Zhen was cultivating the Shattered Jade Scripture.

Ye Zhen could confirm that Yu Feilong’s initial thought was to use the beauty trap. He first wanted to use Yu Jing to bind Ye Zhen and then slowly extract the Shattered Jade Scripture from him.

After Ye Zhen unexpectedly refused, they completely revealed their intention, ready to make a move on Ye Zhen.

What Ye Zhen found detestable was that he had already prepared to bring out half of the Shattered Jade Scripture to exchange, but the Yu Family had already started scheming against his fortunes.

If it were not for Ye Zhen being cautious, he might really have been plotted against.

There was one thing Yu Feilong was right about, Ye Zhen’s strength was strong. Even under the attack of Yu Feilong, a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he was still able to escape to safety.

However, Ye Zhen was still alone, and with his current combat power, once the opponents in the Spirit Transformation Realm exceeded three people, Ye Zhen’s situation would become very dangerous.

"It seems, I must leave the Yu Family’s main camp immediately, or a disaster could strike at any time."

Suddenly, a chill entered Ye Zhen’s chest, it was the silent return of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

"Yu Feilong, for today’s favor, I shall return it heavily another day!"

Raising his finger to point, Ye Zhen left these few words on the wall, then stepped out of the guest room, his figure flickering, soaring into the air.

"Young Hero Zheng, what’s the hurry? Even if you’re leaving, you should at least inform the Clan Leader, right?" A tributor of the Yu Family suddenly appeared above Ye Zhen, blocking his way.

However, while he did block Ye Zhen, he only dared to keep a distance. This tributor had witnessed Ye Zhen confront the Overturning Sea Great Sage in person and was very wary of Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned cold. Yu Feilong actually sent someone to monitor him, indicating premeditation.

"Hmph, I’m leaving, and I don’t need to notify anyone! Get out of my way!"

"Young Hero Zheng, it would still be better to notify them..."

The next moment, a stream of light suddenly flew out from the tributor’s hand, flashing brightly like a firework in the night sky, extremely dazzling.

"Seeking your own death!"

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s shoulder shook, his figure splitting into three, as three Profound Yang Sword Gangs slashed at the tributor from three different directions.

The tributor’s pupils contracted to their limit. Faced with the three indistinguishable figures of Ye Zhen, he resorted to the simplest method—full defense. The protective Spiritual Gang around him blazed intensely, with sword light swirling in front of his chest, layer upon layer of sword light shielded him.

He knew very well that if he could hold on for just a few moments and wait for the Yu Family reinforcements to arrive, he would be safe; with his third stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, sustaining defense for four to five moments would be no problem.

"A tortoise shell, is it?"

A sneer flashed across Ye Zhen’s lips, his aura suddenly changing as his left index finger traced a mysterious trajectory, gently pointing out.

The next moment, a section of a jade-colored finger appeared suddenly before the intense protective Spiritual Gang on the forehead of the tributor, just as if it had crossed countless spaces, and gently pressed down!

Floating Cloud Finger.

Pfft!

A large ripple spread from where the protective Spiritual Gang was located on the tributor’s forehead, sending out circles of ripples. At that moment, the tributor’s protective Spiritual Gang shattered.

The half-section of the jade-colored finger unobstructedly touched the tributor’s forehead, and with a muffled grunt, the tributor’s face turned deathly pale as he fell from the sky like a stone.

Almost simultaneously, a sword light swept out, and the tributor’s head soared into the air. At that moment, a dozen streaks of light rushed up from below the Yu Family’s courtyard, speeding towards the scene of the brilliant firework.

The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub silently slipped out of Ye Zhen’s embrace and floated like lightning under Ye Zhen. In an instant, it reverted to its true form, its winged flesh spreading wide as clouds gathered, carrying Ye Zhen as they merged into the night sky like lightning.

"Damn! Zheng Fuyun has escaped."

"Tributor Hee, Tributor Hee has also been slain!"

The four elders of the Yu Family, numerous tributors, and the Clan Leader Yu Feilong, who had just arrived in response to the alarm, looked at Tributor Hee’s head with shock in their eyes.

"From the time we saw the alarm to our arrival here, it hasn’t been more than five moments, has it? How could Tributor Hee possibly..." Second Elder Yu Zhengyang wore a face of horror, "Tributor Hee was at the third stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm..."

Yu Feilong waved a hand to stop Second Elder Yu Zhengyang from inciting further panic, "Perhaps it was a sneak attack! But, this young man definitely won’t get far."

"Pair up in twos and chase separately, and send a signal once he’s located!"

As he spoke, the figure of Yu Family Patriarch Yu Feilong had already vanished, his Divine Soul Power capturing a trace of movement in the void.

"Hurry... this is the only chance in three hundred years for our Yu Family to retrieve the lost Secret Manual..." Yu Feilong’s voice came remotely through the void while the four elders and six tributors of the Yu Family exchanged glances then paired up and chased in different directions according to a tacit understanding.

In the high skies, riding the rapidly flying Cloud Winged Tiger, Ye Zhen’s face was grim; indeed, the hearts of men could be treacherous.

He had planned to offer half of the Shattered Jade Scripture in exchange, but to his surprise, the Yu Family had been targeting him for a long time. Luckily, he had realized it early enough. If he had been surrounded by more than ten Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists, Ye Zhen would have been in grave danger.

"That piece of Red Spirit Jade Marrow is absolutely indispensable!"

In the night sky, Ye Zhen’s gaze flickered, and he quickly made a decision, "Hmph, Yu Family, you’re unlucky now!"

In that moment, Ye Zhen had already devised a comprehensive plan to deal with the Yu Family.

While Ye Zhen was at Floating Jade Island, Ye Zhen was in the open, and with so many strong members of the Yu Family, he was in a very dangerous situation, completely surrounded.

But when Ye Zhen left Floating Jade Island and hid around it, at that time, Ye Zhen was in the dark, and the Yu Family was in the light. The real terror was about to descend.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen sensed a powerful Qi rapidly approaching from behind.

"Yu Feilong?"

Among the Yu Family, only Clan Leader Yu Feilong, who had reached the Soul Sea Realm, could catch up with the speed of a Cloud Winged Tiger.

His expression darkened, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sharply fell onto the War Soul Blood Flag in his arms, a streak of blood light silently merged into the body of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub beneath him.

"Roar!"

The tiger’s roar filled the sky, and a vast expanse of cloud Qi gathered, as if installing a pair of huge cloud wings on the Cloud Winged Tiger, doubling its speed once again.

Fifteen minutes later, the figure of Clan Leader Yu Feilong of the Yu Family stopped in the empty space, his face full of confusion and shock, "He actually lost him..."

"No, we absolutely cannot let this young man escape. It seems, the Yu Family Island Domain’s Guardian Formation, which hasn’t been activated for a hundred years, needs to be started..."

The next instant, dozens of shooting lights flew from Yu Feilong’s hands, scattering in all directions, falling towards dozens of small islands around Jade Water Lake.

Soon, the characteristic majestic Qi of the activated formations spread from these dozens of peripheral islands.

....

Three thousand li east of Jade Water Lake, Ye Zhen, riding the Cloud Winged Tiger, plunged into a small island only about ten miles in circumference. Ye Zhen had already observed that the island, with its lush vegetation and uninhabited status, was a good place for hidden cultivation.

Ye Zhen planned to cultivate in seclusion on this small island for a month or two, striving to break through the Shattered Jade Scripture to the Red Jade Realm, and then go looking for trouble with the Yu Family.

After all, with a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse like Yu Feilong in the Yu Family, a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist seeking trouble with a Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist was unheard of anywhere.

Though Ye Zhen had many trump cards, he had never directly confronted a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse before. Before the confrontation, improving his strength even slightly was beneficial.

Normally, the Cultivation Ye Zhen could enhance in one or two months was very limited, and it wouldn’t be possible to elevate the Shattered Jade Scripture from the late stage of the Green Jade Realm to the peak of the Green Jade Realm, even with ample Green Spirit Jade in hand.

However, Ye Zhen had a piece of Green Spirit Jade Marrow, which with its very pure, gentler Spirit Energy, allowed for training speeds three to four times faster than with Green Spirit Jade. If Ye Zhen diligently trained for one or two months, it amounted to half a year or more of normal diligent training. Ye Zhen’s Cultivation would definitely see a significant boost.

"Hmph, Yu Feilong, just wait to be retaliated against by me! But, even if I don’t show up, these two months with a sword hanging over your head every moment can’t be easy, can they?"

"Kitten, be on guard!"

With a low shout, the Green Spirit Jade Marrow, flickering with jade light and with liquid flowing inside it like water, appeared in Ye Zhen’s palm. He sat down on the ground, ran the Shattered Jade Scripture, and the fluid inside the Green Spirit Jade Marrow flowed into Ye Zhen’s body.

....

Three days later, Clan Leader Yu Feilong of the Yu Family, with eyes as red as a rabbit’s from exhaustion, returned to Floating Jade Island, his face weary.

Anyone relentlessly searching with high tension for three days would end up looking like Yu Feilong.

As Yu Feilong returned, the Yu Family Elders and Tributors also gradually returned to Floating Jade Island, all looking tired.

Looking at the gathered crowd, Yu Feilong’s face showed disappointment, with no gains whatsoever.

"No gains? After half a day’s rest, continue the search. Even if we must dig three feet into the ground, we must find this young man!" Yu Feilong declared.

"Clan Leader, could this young man have already escaped from the Jade Water Lake Domain?" asked the Second Elder of the Yu Family, Yu Zhengyang.

"Impossible!"

"The Guardian Formation of the Jade Water Lake Domain has already been activated. It’s not only for Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists but even Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artists passing through would trigger it.

Since there’s no disturbance in the formations on any of the islands, I estimate that this young man is definitely still hiding on some deserted island..."

As he spoke, the words "Yu Feilong, I will repay today’s favor in the future" suddenly surfaced in Yu Feilong’s mind, a chilling sensation abruptly emerging, and Yu Feilong suddenly had an ominous premonition.

With a forceful wave of his hands, Yu Feilong tried hard to dismiss this ominous premonition, but it was futile, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew even stronger.

"This matter concerns the fate of our Yu Family Clan, no one must slacken. Starting today, focus the search on the uninhabited islands within the Jade Water Lake Domain! I will take responsibility for searching the one hundred and eighty islands in the northeast domain."

Having said this, Yu Feilong’s figure once again soared into the sky, heading to the northeast to search. The ominous premonition in his heart made him dare not rest!
