CHAPTER 710: CHAPTER 709: A SIGH OF RELIEF (3/3)

Ningchuan.

Defense Zone.

Old Zhuo came down from upstairs, looking exhausted.

Seeing Old Zhuo come down, Qin Zhiyuan quickly stood up, looked at Old Zhuo, and asked, "How did it go?"

Old Zhuo shook his head lightly.

Upon seeing Old Zhuo shaking his head, Qin Zhiyuan’s face turned pale in an instant. He sat on the sofa in a daze, staring blankly ahead without any expression.

Old Zhuo slowly sat down, muttering to himself, "I can’t do it anymore, getting old! Just commanding a battle like this makes me feel exhausted, thankfully it didn’t break out."

Qin Zhiyuan was taken back by his words, looked at Old Zhuo in confusion, and asked, "What did you just say? It didn’t break out?"

"Yes!" Old Zhuo leaned back on the sofa and continued, "I was already ready to go against the old chief hard, but I didn’t expect him to withdraw the troops."

"What do you mean? Withdraw the troops?" Qin Zhiyuan was also full of confusion.

Old Zhuo glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Yes, withdrew the troops, I don’t know why, but it didn’t break out."

"It didn’t break out?" Qin Zhiyuan jumped up and stared at Old Zhuo, cursing, "You old Zhuo, you almost scared me to death! Why did you shake your head if it didn’t break out?"

Old Zhuo shook his head and said, "I just feel that I’m getting old and can’t handle it. In the past, I used to command battles that made the enemy run for their lives. Now I’m worn out even without a fight, really getting old!"

Qin Zhiyuan glared at Old Zhuo, his teeth itching with anger.

That head shake from Old Zhuo earlier really frightened him. If something happened to Yang Chen, he wouldn’t have any hopes left.

"You old scoundrel!" Qin Zhiyuan pointed at Old Zhuo with a smile and curse.

Old Zhuo looked at Qin Zhiyuan and couldn’t help but laugh as well.

The two of them sat on the sofa, feeling completely relaxed.

...

Jin Chen.

The Ye family.

Ye Liangcai walked excitedly to Master Ye’s study.

Seeing Ye Liangcai come in, Master Ye immediately asked, "How is it? What’s the situation now?"

Ye Liangcai laughed and said, "The old chief withdrew!"

"Withdrew?" Master Ye was surprised, "Why did he withdraw? Wasn’t it said that Yang Chen was injured?"

Ye Liangcai gave a wry smile and said, "I’m not sure either. Yang Chen was indeed injured by the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect. At that time, the people dispatched by the old chief also went to kill Yang Chen. But guess what happened?"

Master Ye stared wide-eyed, "Don’t make me guess, just say it!"

Intimidated by Master Ye’s scolding, Ye Liangcai shivered and quickly said, "Originally, those people were about to attack, so our people also rushed to the scene to confront them. But the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect suddenly spoke up, saying that Yang Chen is their honored guest and no one is allowed to harm him. If anyone dares to attack Yang Chen, they would be an enemy of the Shangqing Sect."

Master Ye was also dumbfounded, "What exactly is going on here?"

Ye Liangcai shook his head, "I’m not sure either, but the attitude of the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect was very determined, so maybe that’s why the old chief withdrew."

Master Ye frowned and pondered.

For a while, Master Ye couldn’t figure it out, so he said, "Forget it, as long as he’s safe, that’s fine. Have they returned yet?"

"Not yet, it seems there are some matters to discuss." Ye Liangcai said.

Master Ye nodded and waved his hand, "Go on with your work."

"Yes!" Ye Liangcai retreated.

Master Ye sat in his chair, frowning and pondering, "What is the Sect Master up to..."

...

Nietai Mountain.

Yang Chen came to the tent, and a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"Boss, how did it go?"

"What did he say to you?"

"Don’t agree to his demands!"

"Let’s fight them to the end!"

"Yes! Fight to the end!"

...

Everyone was talking all at once.

Yang Chen, feeling helpless, raised his hand to stop them, "Guys, before saying anything else, can you release the hostages first?"

Following Yang Chen’s finger, the Dragon Tooth Squad realized that there were still many Outer Sect disciples tied up there, who had sneaked out, and they hurriedly went to untie them.

Even though they were released, these Outer Sect disciples looked dejected and frustrated.

This vacation was supposed to be because Ye Xin became the Saintess, but who knew this kind of thing would happen. Is the vacation still valid?

Moreover, they sneaked out, and on top of that, they were caught. Now going back, they definitely wouldn’t have a good time.

After these Outer Sect disciples left, everyone looked eagerly at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen gave a helpless smile and said, "There’s nothing going on, the specifics will be discussed in three days. Nothing to worry about now."

"But..."

Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling them not to speak further.

Since the matter at Nietai Mountain had ended, he didn’t want the Dragon Tooth Squad to get involved further.

After all, it was because the Shangqing Sect disciples were unprepared for this battle.

Moreover, Kunze stopped everything this time. Otherwise, it would have been hard for them to leave alive.

Yang Chen’s gaze landed on Gao Hong and Hu Zijian and he asked with a frown, "Why did you guys come?"

Hu Zijian and a few others immediately saluted and shouted, "Once a Wolf Fang, always a Wolf Fang!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen was deeply moved.

Hu Zijian said, "Boss, you underestimate us. Even though we may have been corrupted by society, our hearts still run with hot blood! Are you afraid we’ll drag you down by not telling us?"

"No!" Yang Chen chuckled, shaking his head.

"Then don’t hide from us. As long as we have a breath left in our bodies, we will fight with you to the end!"

"To the end!" Bai Lei and the others shouted in unison.

Yang Chen felt deeply moved in his heart.

Actually, he wasn’t afraid of Hu Zijian and the others dragging him down, but feared implicating them.

Sometimes, if Yang Chen could solve something by himself, he would never trouble others. But there are times, like now, when even he is unsure if he can handle it, how can he let his brothers take risks with him?

Yang Chen smiled and said to everyone, "Pack up and get ready to leave!"

"Yes!" The Dragon Tooth Squad received the order and immediately began packing up.

"You guys go help too!" Yang Chen told Hu Zijian and the few others.

Hu Zijian gave a deep look at Yang Chen, then went with the Dragon Tooth Squad to pack up.

Night Fire contacted Li Muyang and quickly cleaned up the site, leaving the remaining tasks to others.

At that moment, everyone descended the mountain.

The people of the Shangqing Sect also went back, but at the entrance, Kunze and the Great Elder were still standing there, watching the backs of Yang Chen and his group going down the mountain.

"You just let them go like that?" The Great Elder was a bit angry, "Do you know how disappointed the sect’s disciples are? You must give me an explanation for this!"

Kunze didn’t say anything, just watched Yang Chen and his group disappear from sight, then sighed and turned to the Great Elder saying, "Let’s go, I’ll show you something."
