Chapter 644 - 596 Get Lost!
When the eight members of the Zhou Family left the Blood Moon Forest with Ye Chen and headed towards their family residence in Fallen Moon City, joy radiated from their faces.
Before coming to the Blood Moon Forest, they had worried about not being able to find enough Blood Moon Stones to exchange for Black Divine Coins, allowing Zhou Yue to enter the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute for cultivation.
Now, after harvesting all the Blood Moon Stones beneath that strange hollow just before they left, not only had they returned with more Blood Moon Stones than expected, but they had also obtained the complete Icebound Divine Body technique that the family had longed for!
Zhou Yue would be able to cultivate at the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute.
All of the Zhou clansmen now possessed a precious technique, allowing them to become increasingly powerful!
Change.
This trip to the Blood Moon Forest had completely changed the fate of the Zhou clansmen!
And the source of all these changes was the miraculous youth beside them, Ye Chen!
Whether it was the six middle-aged men including Zhou Tianhao, or the siblings Zhou Yue and Zhou Dun, they all regarded Ye Chen as the most precious guest, warmly inviting him to stay with the Zhou Family for a couple of days.
Ye Chen also wanted to see the rest of the Zhou Family, descendants of the ancestor with the Icebound Divine Body, besides these eight people, so he agreed to their invitation.
Seeing that Ye Chen agreed to stay with the family, the eight from the Zhou Family were, of course, overjoyed. They wanted to share the good news that the ancestor brought by Ye Chen with all their clansmen.
With hearts filled with excitement, their steps towards Fallen Moon City lightened considerably.
Once they left the Blood Moon Forest and were not subject to the no-fly zone anymore, the eight of them took to the skies, flying directly towards Fallen Moon City on the opposite side of the Blood Moon Forest with Ye Chen.
After flying for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Chen saw the outline of a small city appearing ahead.
This small city, compared to Circulation of Heaven Divine City, was much smaller and could not be compared to the real grand divine cities of the Thousand-Curtain Divine Nation.
This was the current residence of the Zhou Family, a subsidiary city of Circulation of Heaven Divine City — Fallen Moon City.
The nine travelers continued flying until they were just outside the gates of Fallen Moon City before they stopped flying and descended.
"Young Brother Ye Chen, our Zhou Family lives in the western part of Fallen Moon City. It’s just a tea-time walk away," Zhou Tianhao said with a smile to Ye Chen.
"It’s also a good opportunity to show you around Fallen Moon City," he added, still smiling.
The young lady Zhou Yue also smiled brightly at Ye Chen, "Although Fallen Moon City is small, it’s been home to our clan for thousands of years, and it’s quite nice."
The young girl walked alongside Ye Chen, strolling down the streets of Fallen Moon City, introducing him to various sights around the city.
Seeing the girl’s buoyant demeanor, Ye Chen smiled too.
Previously, Zhou Yue had always been worried about not being able to gather enough Black Divine Coins to enter the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute, bearing a sorrow that belied her age.
Now that Ye Chen had fully alleviated her worries, she had finally regained the vivacity appropriate for her age.
Listening to Zhou Yue talk about Fallen Moon City, Ye Chen felt a connection.
Fallen Moon City wasn’t big, but for Zhou Yue, it was her hometown, to which she naturally felt an affinity.
Just like Ye Chen felt towards his own hometown in the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, Qingyang City.
Qingyang City was also small, but for Ye Chen, it was where his clansmen and the fellow members of the Qian and Bai clans resided, making it incredibly warm for him, no matter its size.
Seeing that Ye Chen was moved and paid serious attention to every plant and tree in Fallen Moon City, Zhou Yue became even more enthusiastic in telling him about the city.
On the side, the six elders of the Zhou Family, including Zhou Tianhao, watched Zhou Yue and Ye Chen walking side by side, noticing Zhou Yue showing an unprecedented closeness to another youth. Their faces were etched with light smiles.
"It’s a pity that Young Brother Ye Chen is too impressive; Fallen Moon City simply cannot keep him. Otherwise, he might have been the perfect match for Yue’er…" Zhou Tianhao even harbored such a thought.
It wasn’t only Zhou Tianhao and the other elders who were moved. The young Zhou Dun, seeing his sister so lively for the first time, also knew that all of this was brought about by Ye Chen, whom he had just met.
"If only Brother Ye Chen could become my brother-in-law, that would be wonderful..." thought Zhou Dun to himself.
As Ye Chen and Zhou Yue continued their stroll and sightseeing, and with Zhou Tianhao and the other six men, as well as the young Zhou Dun, entertaining their fanciful thoughts, the group finally saw a large courtyard ahead.
"Young Brother Ye Chen, that ahead is our family estate. Although our family is not as glorious as during our ancestor’s time, we still have over a hundred people. In a moment, I will introduce you to them all," Zhou Tianhao said, chuckling as he saw the family gate was not far ahead.
As the nine people were walking towards the Zhou Family’s main gate, the gate suddenly "creaked" open from the inside, and a young man in white emerged. As he walked out, the young man in white chuckled and called out to Zhou Tianhao and Zhou Yue who were returning to the clan, "I heard early in the morning that Uncle Zhou and my dear sister Yue have gone into Blood Moon Forest. My dear sister Yue, that place is somewhat dangerous today. What would I do if something happened to you?"
"Is my dear sister Yue still worried about going to Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute for cultivation? I’ve said before, if my dear sister Yue is willing, I, Wei Teng, am ready to bear all the costs for you to go to Circulation of Heaven Divine City."
Following behind this young man in white were four to five middle-aged men, each at the realm of a Six Tribulation True God, and the young man in white was not weak either, also at the realm of a Four Tribulation True God.
Seeing the young man in white addressing her as "my dear sister Yue" at every turn made Zhou Yue frown tightly, as if afraid that Ye Chen would misunderstand. She quickly transmitted a message to Ye Chen, "This is Wei Teng, the young master of the Wei Family, the most powerful force in Fallen Moon City. He’s really annoying, always pestering me."
Zhou Tianhao’s face flashed with anger upon seeing Wei Teng emerge from the Zhou Family’s main gate.
After all, the Zhou Family was also a mid-level powerful family in Fallen Moon City, and here was Wei Teng barging directly into their compound, now even walking out of the main gate as though he owned the place and talking to them, naturally stirring a surge of anger in Zhou Tianhao’s heart.
In the past, even though Wei Teng, relying on the Wei Family’s power, often lingered outside the Zhou Family, he had never been as brazen as today to barge into their home.
Today, his arrogance had reached such a level!
"Uncle Quan, how could you let someone into our Zhou Family compound like this?" Zhou Tianhao roared towards the inside of the gate.
At this moment, hearing Zhou Tianhao’s voice, quite a few Zhou clansmen ran out of the main gate, led by an old man who looked like a steward. @@novelbin@@
This old man was clearly the Uncle Quan mentioned by Zhou Tianhao.
The old man, seeing Zhou Tianhao return, breathed a sigh of relief, and upon seeing Wei Teng standing at the doorway, a flash of anger also appeared in his eyes. He said to Zhou Tianhao, "Clan Leader, this Wei Teng insisted on barging into our residence, claiming he wanted to see young miss Yue. We couldn’t stop him!"
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Zhou Tianhao’s anger was directed at Wei Teng, and Zhou Yue also gave Wei Teng a cold look, saying, "Wei Teng, my Zhou Family does not welcome you. If there’s a next time, we will not be polite!"
During the conversation, Zhou Yue whispered to Ye Chen, "Don’t worry about this guy, let’s go inside!"
Zhou Yue took Ye Chen by the hand and started walking towards the gate.
Wei Teng’s brow furrowed upon hearing Zhou Yue’s cold words to him.
The reason he dared to so presumptuously invade the Zhou Family today was that his father, the foremost expert of the Wei Family, had just achieved a breakthrough, breaking through to the Nine Tribulations True God.
A Nine Tribulations True God was undoubtedly the top expert in Fallen Moon City!
Under such circumstances, Wei Teng looked down on the Zhou Family even more.
The only thing he valued in the Zhou Family was the beautiful and graceful Zhou Yue.
Wei Teng hadn’t expected Zhou Yue to be so blunt with him!
When he saw Zhou Yue’s hand in Ye Chen’s, jealousy flashed in his eyes. He had never even touched Zhou Yue’s hand, and yet, this Late Heaven Saint youth managed to receive such closeness from her.
How could this not fill Wei Teng with intense jealousy!
"Yue’er, who is this young man?!"
"Hmph, my father has just advanced to a Nine Tribulations True God today. From now on, even in Circulation of Heaven Divine City, he’s considered a prominent figure. Yue’er, if you continue to treat me this way, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
As he spoke, Wei Teng stretched out his arm, blocking the path of Zhou Yue and Ye Chen at the entrance.
The several Six Tribulations True God middle-aged men beside him also chuckled and blocked the doorway.
When they heard Wei Teng’s words, both Zhou Yue and Zhou Tianhao finally understood why Wei Teng was acting so arrogantly.
It turned out his father had indeed broken through to a Nine Tribulations True God.
If this were before, Zhou Tianhao might have been somewhat apprehensive and sought ways to deal with the Wei Family. But now, seeing Ye Chen’s furrowed brows, where would he be willing to swallow this indignity.
"Wei Teng, if you dare to offend Ye Chen, beware that even your father can’t save your life!"
"Ye Chen? Who is that?" Wei Teng looked around, and finally, his gaze settled on Ye Chen, whom Zhou Yue was holding by the hand, "Him, a Late Heaven Saint youth?" Explore new worlds at NovelBin.Côm
As he spoke, Wei Teng grabbed at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, however, coldly looked at the approaching hand and said indifferently, "Withdraw your claw, get out of the way quickly, or you can’t blame me for being impolite!"
