Chapter 2487: Chapter 2507: Waiting for a Rabbit by a Stump, I Will Win Back a City!

Ye Wei Jie looked at his son, who hastened excitedly, feeling an inexplicable irritability in his heart.

He knew that the incident wasn’t really his son’s fault, given that Lin Chen was Lan Xinyu’s son-in-law; he was bound to show up at the Blue God Sect on the day of the grand feast.

Regardless of whether his son provoked and made a move against Lin Chen outside Qingye City, the outcome of Blue God Sect’s battle wouldn’t have changed.

After his son was captured, it was only natural for his first reaction to be reaching out to him, asking him to rescue him, which was also quite normal.

Everything was normal, yet the result was tragic. Ye Wei Jie, holding back a stomach full of anger, could hardly stop himself from slapping his son away when he saw the latter’s clueless questioning.

If he hadn’t rescued him, wouldn’t all the subsequent issues be non-existent?

Ye Wei Jie fixed his gaze on Ye Wei Qing, who wore an expression of excitement, and asked in a deep voice, "After you were captured, did Master Floating Cloud and Lin Chen take you with them immediately?"

Ye Wei Qing asked with confusion, "Yes, they were afraid that I might explode just like Elder Miao, so they asked me to go home while they accompanied me back. Father, what has happened?"

Ye Wei Jie pressed further, "Then do you know that five Superior Prime Daluo Immortals from the Dragon Mountain Sect were hidden inside Lin Chen’s Magic Treasure Pagoda?"

"Impossible!"

Ye Wei Qing shouted, "Only Master Floating Cloud emerged at that time. If there were that many of them, Elder Zuo wouldn’t have been able to escape. Ah, wait, that’s not right..."

Ye Wei Qing regained his thoughts and widened his eyes, saying, "After I was captured, I was held in isolation for a while. They went off to meet and discuss with the people from the Blue God Sect - it must have been during that time they sought reinforcements."

Ye Wei Jie, frustrated by his son’s lack of insight, said, "Did they really isolate you, or did they deliberately give you a chance to call for help, so they could wait for me to walk right into their trap?"

Ye Wei Qing’s face turned pale, "Father, are all of you okay?"

Ye Wei Jie sighed, "Liu Quan has returned, but there’s been no word from the other two; I’m afraid the odds are against them."

It was only normal for three to fail to escape from five; it was fortunate enough that even one managed to.

Ye Wei Qing’s face grew even paler.

Hadn’t Miao Chuanzhi died before, and now to save him, two more Elders were gone?

"Father, are you alright?"

Ye Wei Jie sighed, "I’m badly injured, Liu Quan even more so, I’m afraid the affairs of the Sect will have to be put on hold for now!"

The look of anticipation previously in Ye Wei Qing’s eyes had vanished; he spoke guiltily, "I’m sorry. If it weren’t for saving me, you wouldn’t have been hurt, and the other Elders wouldn’t have met with misfortune..."

Ye Wei Jie looked at Ye Wei Qing with a complex expression.

Had it been someone else, Ye Wei Jie would have slapped them by now. No, were it someone else, he wouldn’t have gone to rescue them in the first place!

But how could anyone blame him? The son was his only child.

"It’s fine. People can be replaced; what matters is that you’ve returned safely. Go rest."

Ye Wei Qing hesitated to speak again, after all, there was nothing he could do to help.

Ye Wei Qing bowed, "Yes, Father."

Ye Wei Qing had barely walked a few steps when Ye Wei Jie looked at his retreating back and suddenly said, "Wait."

Turning his head with puzzlement, Ye Wei Qing asked, "What’s wrong?"

Ye Wei Jie approached Ye Wei Qing and swept his Divine Sense over him again, extremely carefully.

He suddenly thought, if the enemies had anticipated his rescue on the road, might there be another strategy in play?

Was Master Floating Cloud indifferent to Ye Wei Qing’s life and death after seeing him appear, or was releasing Ye Wei Qing part of their plan?

After careful inspection, Ye Wei Jie found no Spiritual Imprints.

"It’s nothing; you may go," Ye Wei Jie said and after a pause added, "Head to the Inner Valley; I’ll activate the Heavenly Extinction Formation."

"Alright!"

After Ye Wei Qing left, Ye Wei Jie issued a command. Soon, Liu Quan and other key members of the Sect left the Front Valley, passed through a canyon, and entered the Inner Valley.

Liu Quan asked, "Sect Hierarch, why are we moving into the Inner Valley?"

Ye Wei Jie said with a grave voice, "They easily let Wei Qing go, which might mean they used him as bait, and lost interest in his safety after seeing us, given his limited strength. But there’s also another possibility: they let him return to trace him back to our headquarters."

"I’ve already activated the Heavenly Extinction Formation. If they dare to come, I won’t let them leave!"

Liu Quan said angrily, "Now, I actually hope they do come, or else we won’t be able to avenge this."

Cold-faced, Ye Wei Jie said, "Even if we can’t avenge this today, once my injuries heal, I will ensure Dragon Mountain Sect suffers greatly. I’ll make them pay tenfold!"

"Liu, you’re badly injured yourself; go treat it. I’ll keep watch over the Heavenly Extinction Formation. If they’re really coming, it will be within these two days, at most."

Ye Wei Jie sat cross-legged at the control point of the Heavenly Extinction Formation, closing his eyes.

And he waited for two days.

The sky grew dark as two disciples from the Sect entered from the outer valley, heading straight for the entrance of the Inner Valley.

The guard at the entrance of the Inner Valley challenged, "Who goes there?"

The leading man showed his Token, "Zhou Lun of the Blood Camp, I have urgent matters to report to the Sect Hierarch!"

The guard’s gaze swept over the young man standing slightly behind Zhou Lun, his head drooping slightly, "And who is he?"
