Chapter 698 - Changes
"Yiya?"
Xiao Budian who was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up, and jumped up with a start. He quickly turned his head, and looked around suspiciously.
"What"s going on?"
Tang Huan"s brows slightly knitted, as he too, felt somewhat puzzled.
Following that, Tang Huan heard a series of footsteps, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening. The voice came from the room next door, and the one who lived there was Chen Mu. The footsteps quickly stopped in front of the wooden house, followed by a series of anxious knocks on the door.
"Big Brother Tang Huan, Big Brother Tang Huan …"
Chen Mu anxiously called out.
Tang Huan"s mind instructs (in a second) moved slightly, he kept the Conqueror Spear and immediately stood up. After a while, he opened the door, and saw Chen Mu"s anxious face.
"Chen Mu, did something happen in the village?" Tang Huan said in a heavy voice.
"I still don"t know what happened."
Chen Mu said anxiously, "However, something big must have happened. Otherwise, he would not have sounded the snake skin drum in the middle of the village nine times in a row, and would have gathered everyone."
"Let"s go take a look!"
The corner of Tang Huan"s eyebrows slightly raised, he looked at Xiao Budian who was inside the wooden hut, closed the door, and then pulled Chen Mu into his arms and flew away. Xiao Budian flapped his four pairs of wings, leaned against the gap of the door and peeked outside, he did not follow along, his eyes wide with curiosity.
The drum rang out nine times, shaking the heavens.
In the dark night, lights were s.h.i.+ning in almost every room. One figure after another headed towards the center of Chen Village, causing the entire village to boil over.
In the center of Chen Village, there was a palace.
When Tang Huan brought Chen Mu over, there were already over a hundred figures gathered inside, and practically everyone had an expression of unconcealable grief and indignation on their faces.
At this moment, the palace was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Putting down Chen Mu, Tang Huan looked at the center of the crowd, a tall and slim figure stood there, her face was beautiful yet exuding a heroic spirit, her leather chest and skirt were covered up, the exposed wheat colored skin revealed an attractive l.u.s.ter, what was most striking, were her two slender legs, as though they contained astonis.h.i.+ng elasticity and power.
At this time, she was wielding a purple long spear, and her body was as straight as a spear. Her two eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her beautiful face was as cold as water.
"Chen You!"
The moment he saw her, two words immediately appeared in Tang Huan"s mind. Back then at the exit of the gorge, Tang Huan had only seen Chen You"s back, he did not see his face, but, he was deeply impressed by the purple spear in her hand.
There were three figures standing beside Chen You. All of them were injured, and on the ground in front of them, two of them were lying unconscious, although they did not die, their injuries were even more severe, one of them had a wound that extended from his left shoulder all the way to the right side of his waist, it was so deep that the bones were visible, and his flesh was overturned. Although the bleeding had stopped, the blood that had seeped out earlier had already dyed his body completely red.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan was slightly shocked.
Chen You and the rest had obviously just returned to the Chen Village. If he remembered correctly, Chen Mu had said before, among the Heavenly Domain-level Expert, Chen You and the other two people who went out to hunt, there were ten experts of the Stage Nine. However, it seemed that only Chen You and the others were left.
He didn"t know what kind of unforeseen event had befallen them. Was the other person alive or dead?
Beside Tang Huan, Chen Mu saw all of this happening. Her eyes opened wide and her face was filled with shock, only after a long while did she come back to her senses.
"Sis!"
In the midst of the alarmed cries, Chen Mu could not help but run towards Chen You.
Chen You raised his head and looked over. When he saw Chen Mu, his eyes softened a little, but when his eyes touched Tang Huan, a strange light flashed past his eyes. It was obvious that he had realized that Tang Huan was the person that she had saved from the Saber-toothed Green Carapace Beast in the canyon.
Tang Huan nodded at Chen You with grat.i.tude in his eyes. However, this was not the time for him to thank her.
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit as people continuously poured in from outside the hall. Cries of alarm rose and fell one after another. In just a few dozen breaths of time, there were already several hundred close to a thousand figures gathered in the palace. This should be all of the Chen Family"s Disciples s in this village.
"Brothers and sisters."
"This time, when we returned from the hunt, we met with an ambush from a lot of Tie (Iron) Village experts at the "Hidden Dragon Gorge" that is a hundred miles away. I led the injured brothers and cut off the backs of the three brothers.
"Tie (Iron) Village?"
"It"s that b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the Tie (Iron) Village again, hateful!"
"They actually dare to attack us so viciously, are they planning to start a war with our Chen Village?"
"..."
Hearing Chen You"s words, the inside of the palace was in an uproar, everyone was in a state of shock and anger as they shouted out.
Chen You"s eyes swept across the crowd, then raised his hand and pressed. The hall immediately quietened down.
Immediately, Chen You said in a deep voice, "Since we have already fallen out with them, those fellows will definitely not let this matter rest. They will probably catch up to us soon, so we must immediately evacuate and return to Main Village. "Chen Tong, Chen Ming, hurry back as fast as you can. Tell them to send people over."
"Yes sir!"
A man and a woman shouted out, and without any hesitation, they rushed out of palace.
"Chen Rui, all of you, escort your brothers and sisters." Chen You growled again.
"Yes sir!"
Chen Rui nodded his head with a gloomy face, then shouted out loud: "Brothers and sisters, we will set off immediately!"
Just as Chen Rui finished speaking, everyone in the hall started to move quickly. Two Stage Nine experts with wounds all over walked at the front, and two cultivators of the eighth step followed behind while carrying two injured and unconscious Stage Nine experts. They surrounded the seventh and eighth stage cultivators.
Tang Huan secretly nodded his head as he watched. This group of Chen Village s could be considered to be under the prohibition, and after Chen You made his decision, they did not hesitate at all to carry it out, and no one dared to make a ruckus. In just a few moments, more than half of the palace was gone.
"Sister Chen You, what about you?" Chen Rui seemed to have thought of something, and asked suddenly. He was older than Chen You, but he called her sister naturally.
"I"ll stay behind to cut off the rear."
Chen You slowly said.
Hearing his words, the Chen Village s who had not left the hall turned and looked at Chen You, their expressions filled with worry.
"You can"t!" Chen Rui shook her head repeatedly, "Big Sister Chen You, it"s too dangerous for you to cover your back by yourself. It"s better for us to evacuate together."
"If we evacuate together, none of us will be able to escape. Chen Rui, bring Chen Mu with you and quickly escort everyone out. " Chen You shouted with an unquestionable tone.
"Sis!"
Chen Mu held onto Chen You"s arm tightly and shook his head with all his might, tears already starting to roll down his cheeks.
