Chapter 158: Ten Thousand Swords! (Please Subscribe)_3
Gu Tiangang and his companions still frowned.
"Lou Zamao, you can't just wave away the incidents at Wuliang Mountain with a simple 'forgive us'."
"Indeed!"
"If it weren't for 'Little Sword Immortal' noticing her odd behavior, who knows how many would have died when we broke through!"
"Please forgive us, once we safely return to the realm of the Wei Dynasty, I will surely send a message to the Sect Master, and let him give everyone a satisfactory explanation!"
Chen Yi ignored the surrounding discussions, glanced at Chen Yuan, and only relaxed when he saw no reaction from him.
Thinking about it, their boss indeed didn't have much of a reaction.
After all, both he and Chen Yuan hadn't been born yet when Zhou Guanwu died at Beixiong Pass.
However, after the incident with Xu Feiyan, Chen Yi also made a mental note to ask Lou Ya and others for a clear explanation when the opportunity arises.
Seeing time was running short, Li Fu spoke up: "Alright, the Vast Energy left in the scroll is not much, we should prepare."
Once everyone calmed down, he looked at Chen Yi and asked: "Do you know the current arrangements outside?"
Chen Yi didn't mind his address, figuring this University Scholar from Kyoto Academy must also be from a prominent family.
"The tiger demons and others have already positioned themselves in the east, only two hundred li away."
After briefly explaining, Chen Yi pointed towards the southwest direction:
"The smaller imps and Barbarian Warriors nearby are not very strong, but if we delay too long, the demons will quickly catch up."
Li Fu immediately decided: "Let's break through first, and after we get thirty li away, we will cover our retreat!"
Gu Tiangang and others nodded, smiling in agreement, "That's how it should be."
"I won't be accompanying you for the rear guard!" Ye Ningxiu suddenly spoke up.
Gu Tiangang frowned slightly, catching a glimpse of Chen Yi's expressionless face, he snorted:
"Sect Leader Ye can indeed leave, after all, the disciples of Yuhua Immortal Sect have perished!"
Ye Ningxiu glared at him, then stood aside on her own.
Afterwards, people discussed and conveyed the decision to many Jianghu Guests.
"Given the situation, escape if you can."
"Thank you, elder, we are clear about the sudden changes."
"Yes, at worst we die, and eighteen years later, I'll be a hero again!"
Jianghu Guests spoke spiritedly, their expressions bittersweet yet seemingly carefree and casual.
Chen Yi watched quietly, but didn't say much.
He approached Chen Yuan and others, and cautioned: "In at most thirty minutes, the Great Demons will catch up, make sure to stick close."
"Don't worry, junior brother, I'll take good care of Hua," Xiao Xuanzhen patted his chest assuring.
She clearly understood right from wrong, given the urgency of the situation, she became serious.
Fairy Hua looked worriedly at him: "Senior brother, if it's impossible, you should..."
"What?" Chen Yi rarely hardened his expression.
Fairy Hua felt a sudden pang of sadness, biting her lip and looking down.
She guessed that Chen Yi would probably choose to stay behind later, which is why she said that.
But she didn't expect him to react like this, feeling slightly aggrieved.
Chen Yi's expression softened, placing a wooden sword he had prepared into her hand with a smile:
"Don't worry, they're just demons."
Fairy Hua held the wooden sword tightly, lifting her head again to speak softly: "Please be careful, senior brother."
"Mm."
Chen Yuan watched their expressions, belatedly saying: "Second brother, you two are..."
"You have one too!"
Chen Yi interrupted him, passing over two Small Wooden Swords together with Xiao Xuanzhen.
"You all better run faster later, leave everything else to me."
As Xiao Xuanzhen took the Small Wooden Sword, he looked suspiciously between him and Fairy Hua, slowly understanding something.
After Chen Yuan examined the Small Wooden Sword, he tossed it to Fairy Hua, laughing: "I don't need it, better leave it for second sister."
"Ah, I..."
Fairy Hua fumbled to catch it, just about to return it when she heard "second sister" and her face blushed.
She bowed her head, not daring to look at Chen Yi, holding the Small Wooden Sword, unsure whether to keep it or not.
Chen Yi glared at Chen Yuan, who had a schadenfreude expression, "Just keep it, use it when you encounter danger."
After that, he took out another wooden sword and stuffed it into his eldest brother's hand impatiently:
"You keep it too, don't think I don't know what you're planning!"
Chen Yuan's smile froze, sheepishly replying: "Don't wrong me, I was thinking of nothing."
Chen Yi pointed at his grey hair: "With that white hair, do you believe that yourself?"
"..."
Chen Yuan chuckled bitterly and kept the wooden sword, "Nothing can be hidden from second brother."
Chen Yi patted his shoulder, not attempting to persuade.
He knew that once they left the secret realm, his eldest brother's thoughts would only be on Sister Ling Yinrong.
If not for the demons surrounding them, he might have already sneaked away.
Chen Yi understood this, but also didn't want Chen Yuan to get into trouble.
"Anyway, let's get out of danger first."
"Rest assured, second brother!"
At that moment, people like Gongye Shou were also chatting sporadically.
"An, will we die here?" Jiang Ye looked at the despondent Jianghu Guests nearby, his thoughts unclear.
"We won't." Xie Dongan observed the dark forest surrounding them and shook his head: "We will definitely make it out alive!"
Wei Jinyu occasionally glanced at the Chen brothers and echoed:
"An is right, we will all return safely to Kyoto Prefecture!"
"What about them?" Jiang Ye pointed at the Jianghu Guests: "Can they as well?"
Xie Dongan paused, remaining silent.
After a long thought, he finally spoke: "The guests of Jianghu brave the storm."
