Chapter 53

Long Chen had just returned to Baiyang Town from the direction of Dahuang Mountain, and he didn’t expect that he would have to go back to Dahuang Mountain so soon. However, this time, he was carrying a strong intent to kill.

"Mother, I will definitely save you..."

At this moment, the peculiar fragrance of the Yan Shen fruit had already spread throughout the entire Dahuang Mountain. Even in Baiyang Town, people were coming out of their houses one after another, their faces full of surprise as they inhaled the rich fragrance in the air. Just a few breaths made them feel refreshed and invigorated.

However, it was difficult for ordinary people to discover where the fragrance was coming from. But some of the stronger individuals gradually noticed something.

At this time, in the Yang family, everyone was still gathered here, waiting for news from Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family. Suddenly, they saw a rainbow light rise from Dahuang Mountain. Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian immediately knew that the Yan Shen fruit was about to ripen at this moment.

Instantly, Yang Qingxuan's face changed.

The younger generation of the Yang family didn't know about the Yan Shen fruit, so they could only discuss it among themselves. At this moment, Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian walked to a corner. Yang Yuntian's face was gloomy as he said, "The Yan Shen fruit ripening at this time means that the two old ghosts of the Bai family might not be at home. I estimate that Father and Long Chen will find an empty nest when they go there."

Yang Qingxuan hadn't thought of this, but after Yang Yuntian reminded him, he understood a lot. His face turned bitter as he said, "The reason they didn't kill Xueqing was to threaten our Yang family during the competition for the Yan Shen fruit. Our Yang family is already weaker than theirs, and we don't know what situation Chen is in. If this continues, our Yang family will have no chance of winning..."

Yang Yuntian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, our family is facing a great disaster. Are we just going to wait here? Although my strength is not enough, I don't want to wait to die. I think our Yang family is probably going to be destroyed this time, but we can't let our lineage end. Let Wu lead the elderly, women, and children out of Baiyang Town, and we brothers will fight one more time. What do you think?"

Yang Qingxuan's eyes were very conflicted. He looked at Yang Wu and Yang Lingqing and said, "Yes, we can die, but the Yang family cannot end. This time we have lost, but if our younger generation can escape from Baiyang Town, there will always be a chance to rise again. When that time comes, we can make them take revenge for us!"

Seeing the usually steady Yang Qingxuan agree with his risky plan, Yang Yuntian knew that this was a recognition of himself. He glanced at the vast Yang family and sighed, "I never thought that because of the Yan Shen fruit, our Yang family would still be defeated by the Bai family. Fortunately, before Father left, he had already put all the important assets of the Yang family into this Qiankun bag. With these, Wu and the others can grow quickly. In ten years, they might be able to take revenge for us!"

Seeing Yang Yuntian's determined eyes, Yang Qingxuan patted his shoulder and sighed, "Second Brother, I underestimated you these years. I never thought you would be more resolute than me. I was just thinking about waiting to die here. Now, Father and the others have probably already entered Dahuang Mountain. The battle won't last long, so we need to act quickly! However... I need to add something to what you said."

"What?" Yang Yuntian was taken aback.

Yang Qingxuan looked in the direction of Dahuang Mountain and said, "The most outstanding genius of our Yang family is not Wu, but Chen. Our main goal in going to Dahuang Mountain is to help Chen escape and meet up with Wu and the others. With Long Chen, in five years, the Bai family will face our revenge!"

Hearing Long Chen's name, Yang Yuntian also sighed helplessly, "I admit you are right. He is indeed extraordinarily talented, but he is too young. Otherwise, our Yang family wouldn't have lost!"

While Yang Yuntian was sighing, Yang Qingxuan had already gathered Yang Wu, Yang Lingyue, and Yang Lingqing, preparing to instruct them on the specific details of their escape from Baiyang Town.

Looking at his increasingly mature son, Yang Qingxuan's eyes shimmered with tears. He patted Yang Wu's shoulder, his voice choked with emotion, "Wu, you are already twenty-two. It's time to take responsibility. Listen, I have a major task for you..."

Yang Wu and the other three young descendants looked at each other, not knowing what Yang Qingxuan meant.

Looking at their young, vibrant faces, Yang Yuntian pursed his lips, and tears also welled up in his eyes. He knew that these young people would face many hardships in the future...

"You three will shoulder a major responsibility today. If anything goes wrong, come to me with your heads!"

"This major responsibility is: to ensure the safe transfer of our Yang family's elderly, women, and children..."

...

With the guidance of the rainbow light, the direction for Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family was very clear.

They quickly rushed into Dahuang Mountain, heading towards the valley where the Yan Shen fruit was located!

At this moment, Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian were already arranging the transfer of the elderly, women, and children. However, if the old ancestor of the Yang family knew about Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian's actions, he would be very comforted.

Long Chen's strength was indeed recognized, but compared to the older generation, he was still too young. He needed to grow, not to participate in such a bloody battle.

Such a dangerous battle should be left to the elders, while Long Chen needed to focus on developing his potential and growing into a super-strong individual. When that time comes, the Bai family would crumble before him, rather than being destroyed here.

However, Long Chen's blood was boiling, and the old ancestor of the Yang family knew he couldn't stop him. Helplessly, he said, "Chen, you must act according to the situation and not be impulsive. Impulsiveness will not only harm you but also your mother!"

Long Chen nodded and said, "Grandfather, you can rest assured. I know my limits."

When he said this, his heart had already calmed down.

Hearing that Long Chen's tone had become much colder, the old ancestor of the Yang family finally relaxed. However, he didn't realize the coldness in Long Chen's heart.

Looking at this stubborn and strong grandson, the old ancestor of the Yang family was deeply moved and admired. He secretly resolved that if they really faced a trap, he would sacrifice his life to ensure Long Chen's survival.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the valley. Long Chen immediately saw the Yan Shen fruit tree in the depths of the cave, emitting a brilliant rainbow light. However, most of the light was coming from three places on the tree, which were the three Yan Shen fruits.

"Now is the time when the Yan Shen fruit is about to ripen. If the Yan Shen fruit fully ripens, the tree will wither and disappear. The tree is already starting to wither, so it will probably be fully ripe soon."

Faced with this scene, Lingxi was also nervous, her voice trembling.

To be honest, Yang Xueqing being captured by the Bai family made Lingxi very angry. The Bai family had used such vicious means to harm the Yang family before, and now they were using such despicable tactics. Lingxi despised them, and her emotions were now closely aligned with Long Chen's. She could deeply feel the cold and ferocity emanating from his soul.

"These two old scoundrels, let Long Chen teach you a lesson! Beat you to a pulp!"

Lingxi clenched her small fists in the space of the Lingxi Sword.

As they entered the valley, Long Chen immediately saw the entire scene in the cave. The people in the cave also saw Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family, and their eyes immediately turned cold as they stood up.

Long Chen saw Bai Sheng and Bai Li, but no one else. He didn't know where the Bai brothers had hidden the others.

However, this was better. If Bai Zhanfeng and Bai Zhanlong were here, it would add two more people to the enemy, making things more complicated.

However, Long Chen was puzzled.

"Weren't the Bai family planning to invite someone from the Chixue Holy Sect to help?"

But there was no one from the Chixue Holy Sect now, so Long Chen guessed that the Bai family, after capturing Yang Xueqing, felt confident enough to not invite the Chixue Holy Sect to share the Yan Shen fruit.

Each Yan Shen fruit was extremely precious, and the Bai family wouldn't give them away for free unless necessary.

Behind the Yan Shen fruit tree, Long Chen saw Yang Xueqing. She was leaning against the cave wall, her hair disheveled, bound with special iron chains, and her hands tightly tied, leaving red marks.

However, at least she was still conscious, and it seemed she hadn't been harmed. When she saw Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family, her eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family, the Bai brothers sneered. Their hatred for the Yang family was intense, especially for Long Chen. No matter what the cost, they had to kill Long Chen today!

Capturing Yang Xueqing but not killing her was to increase their chances of killing Long Chen today!

The last time they tried to destroy the Yang family, their meticulously planned scheme was ruined by Long Chen. This time, to annihilate the Yang family, dominate Baiyang Town, and obtain the ripe Yan Shen fruit, the Bai family had made thorough preparations!

"With such preparations, if I still can't kill you two, then all these years have been for nothing! Although the Yan Shen fruit ripened a bit earlier, it won't affect our plan to kill you!"

Seeing Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family approaching with cold eyes, Bai Sheng gestured slightly to the back and whispered, "We brothers will deal with these two bastards first!"

His voice was so low that even Lingxi, who was far away, couldn't hear it. Then, Bai Sheng and Bai Li exchanged glances and walked towards Long Chen and the old ancestor of the Yang family.

"Even with double the preparations, I still can't kill you, I won't believe it. Xiong and Yun, Father will avenge you today! And Shichen and Shijie, Grandfather will avenge you today!"

"Originally, we didn't need so many preparations; we two brothers were enough to deal with you. But the hatred in my heart doesn't allow for any mistakes!"

"Yang Cangkong, die..."
