Chapter 481: Chapter 480 [Ye Tianchen Hasn’t Woken Up, Another Incident Occurs]

After Ye Tianchen was defeated by Songben Xiajian, all the members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings killed the thirty elite members of the Beichen Sword School. On their way back, the severely injured Ye Tianchen fell into a coma. In the fleeting moment before his consciousness blurred, he told Wuxue and the others that after bringing him back to the villa, they should seat him cross-legged on the bed and not to move him if they couldn’t find Zhang Yide.

Wuxue and the others were very worried about Ye Tianchen’s injuries and also feared that the dangerous figure, the young master of Longteng, might attack, as he was Huaxia’s most legendary youth to date, known as a once-in-a-generation prodigy. His true strength was unknown to all; his appearance was unknown to all; even his real name was unknown to all, let alone his capability!

According to Ye Tianchen’s estimation, the young master of Longteng should still be above Songben Xiajian, which shocked Wuxue and the others. Wasn’t that the level where the young master of Longteng could rank among the ten strongest on Earth? Considering that he was just over thirty years old, how astonishing was that?

However, Ye Tianchen wasn’t so sure. Although he had never met or crossed paths with the young master of Longteng, from the few times he had sent people to attack and from the style with which the young master conducted himself, Ye Tianchen discerned that this person was quite arrogant and confident he could kill him, otherwise, he wouldn’t always carry a playful attitude.

A true expert would never stoop to launch a sneak attack, nor would they take advantage of someone in a weaker position, let alone assassinate someone incapable of retaliation. Hence, Ye Tianchen was sure that the young master of Longteng would definitely not send someone to kill him right now, nor would he harm his family members.

Blood Mist was the leading war general under the young master of Longteng, and Ye Tianchen had killed him. In other words, the young master of Longteng had lost his most powerful arm. If he were to strike, it would have to be the young master of Longteng himself making the move.

Given the current circumstances, Ye Tianchen did not wish to encounter the young master of Longteng, at least he didn’t want to battle this enigmatic person, for he had no sure chance of victory. He needed time to enhance his cultivation, time to ascertain the young master’s strength. As it stood, he found himself in a passive situation.

What Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected was that after Wuxue, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong had brought him back to the villa, they immediately went to the Zhang family estate to search for Zhang Yide to save his life. However, Zhang Yide had already left, with many cobwebs indicating his long absence. How were they to find him in this vast world?

Seven days and nights passed, and Wuxue, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong had nearly scoured the entire Capital City. They dared not venture far, in case someone took advantage of Ye Tianchen’s injuries to claim his life. It would be terrible. They had also mobilized many connections and forces to search for Zhang Yide, all to no avail.

With no other options, Wuxue only could seek out Cang Lang, hoping he could utilize the nation’s power to search, for a nation’s highest echelons searching for a person would surely be more effective. Regrettably, Wuxue had already phoned Cang Lang before coming. After the head of state learned of Ye Tianchen’s condition, he immediately issued an order. The military was deployed along with many elite agents; a nationwide search for Zhang Yide was initiated, even enlisting some mysterious foreign forces, but all efforts came up empty.

What Wuxue and the others did not expect was that even with the nation’s might and many secretive methods employed, they still failed to find Zhang Yide. The Divine Doctor Ghost Hand indeed lived up to his reputation; if he desired to disappear, no one could find him, and one couldn’t help but admire the old man’s skill.

"Wait? Do we just keep waiting like this? Tianchen is in such a state, and it’s been seven days and nights without food or drink..." Xiao Ya said anxiously.

Xiao Ya’s words trailed off halfway, for she realized that Wuxue and the others were undoubtedly more capable than her, and they would have considered such a situation. If bringing Ye Tianchen to a large hospital for treatment would have been beneficial, they would have taken action long ago, without waiting for her to express such urgent concern.

"Is there really no way at all?" As a mother, Luo Yan was naturally the most distressed and anxious, but with her daughter Ye Qianwen, along with Qi Ruxue and Xiao Ya there, she knew she had to be strong and couldn’t break down. Otherwise, she didn’t know how the three girls would cope.

Wuxue and the others glanced at Luo Yan, the mother of their boss, who was like a mother to them too. They wanted to tell her there was a way, but couldn’t bring themselves to speak. Ye Tianchen had been sitting cross-legged for seven days and nights, growing weaker by the moment. Not eating or drinking for such a period, hunger or thirst could indeed claim a life.

Boom!

Wang Jie punched the wall furiously and cursed aloud:

"Damn it, where the hell did that old guy Zhang Yide run off to? If I find him, I’ll skin him alive. Cang Lang and his people are useless too, not exerting any effort at all. What are they supposed to be, one of the three War Kings of Huaxia, Warriors of Heavenly Gang Level? They’re all damn wastes!"

"No, we can’t just sit here doing nothing; we have to keep searching. It’s better than just waiting around!" Lin Duan couldn’t help but say.

"Let’s go, there’s no use wasting time here. Searching is always better than not searching at all!" Bao Tianglong also said.

Wuxue nodded slightly, glanced at Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, Qi Ruxue, and Xiao Ya without saying anything. He didn’t know what to say and turned to walk towards the door. Wang Jie walked at the front. Just as they reached the door, they were blocked by two men in military uniform—one was Cang Lang, the other Hei Mian.

Among the national military personnel, the two who had the most dealings with Ye Tianchen were Hei Mian and Cang Lang. Knowing that Ye Tianchen had killed Songben Xiajian, both Cang Lang and Hei Mian were utterly shocked; it was a true astonishment. One of them was one of Huaxia’s three great War Kings, and the other was a Heavenly Gang Level War General. Both of their strengths were extremely formidable, and even Ye Tianchen had to take them seriously. To shock them was no easy task.

Of course, while they had prejudices against Ye Tianchen, they also held him in high regard. When they learned that Ye Tianchen was severely injured and in need of treatment from Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, they immediately used all their resources. In just a few short days, they searched the entire territory of Huaxia but failed to find any trace of Zhang Yide. They even checked the departure records by sea, land, and air, with no record of this person. The old man seemed to have evaporated from the Human World, with no clue as to where he had gone.

"We two are useless, have you found Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide?" Cang Lang said to Wang Jie with palpable irritation.

"Dare to scoff at us Heavenly Gang War Generals, you brat truly deserve a beating!" Hei Mian said coldly to Wuxue and the others.

"Pah, we’re useless because we can’t save our big brother, but are you guys any better? Heavenly Gang War Generals, do you think I’m afraid of you?" Wang Jie retorted fiercely.

"What? Want to have a go?"

Hei Mian too was a warmonger. Ye Tianchen had already surpassed him, which annoyed him greatly. Furthermore, hearing that each of Ye Tianchen’s Thirteen Heavenly Kings was an exceptionally strong fighter, who had killed thirty experts of the Beichen Sword Style, made Hei Mian even more eager to see just how remarkable the Thirteen Heavenly Kings formed by Ye Tianchen truly were.

"If you want a fight, then let’s fight, am I afraid of you?" Wang Jie stared intently into Hei Mian’s eyes, unflinchingly facing the Heavenly Gang War General. His anger was flaring inside with no outlet, especially since his big brother’s life hung in the balance, and he craved a fierce battle.

"Brave words. Let’s take it outside and see if I don’t beat you into begging for mercy!" Hei Mian sneered.

"Enough, Wang Jie, step back. Now is not the time for this. Our primary goal is to revive our big brother first!"

Wuxue walked over, eyeing Cang Lang and Hei Mian, both of whom were incredibly strong—a fact well known to him. Whether Wang Jie was a match for Hei Mian, he did not know and was not interested in finding out. Perhaps, in the past, he might have enjoyed seeing the bout to determine the true strength of what was considered Huaxia’s strongest single-combat force, but not anymore.

Wang Jie gave Hei Mian a fierce look, understanding that what Wuxue said made perfect sense. With big brother Ye Tianchen unconscious, now was not the time for such matters; the key priority was to find Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide.

At that moment, Wuxue looked at Cang Lang and Hei Mian and said, "Gentlemen, I trust you didn’t come just to talk about these matters, right? Any news?"

Hei Mian didn’t answer but merely snorted coldly and walked aside. Cang Lang was indeed more composed, not as impulsive as Hei Mian. He approached Wuxue and said, "We have also not found Zhang Yide, just came to see if there’s any way we could be of help..."

"Not found him? If you haven’t found him, what’s the point of your visit, then? Please leave, and do not expect us to see you off!" Upon hearing Cang Lang’s words, Wang Jie immediately became infuriated; it seemed Cang Lang and Hei Mian had no good news, but merely came to take a look. Considering big brother Ye Tianchen had been in a coma for seven days and nights without any of them being useful, Wang Jie naturally felt annoyed.

"Mind your words, kid. Thirteen Heavenly Kings? Humph, with Ye Tianchen unconscious, I doubt it’s your turn to speak," Hei Mian snorted disdainfully.

"Whether it’s my turn to speak or not, it’s none of your business. I don’t want to see you, get lost!" Wang Jie’s temper was no smaller, daringly telling Hei Mian to get lost, something even Ye Tianchen would probably not dare to say.

Whoosh!

Just as the words left Wang Jie’s mouth, he was met with a punch, striking his nose hard enough to send him flying out the window... (To be continued.
