Chapter 2143 - 2144: Blood for Blood, The Eighteen Riders of the Ye Family
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan say that they were leaving, Olivia naturally said nothing more.
At this moment, Olivia also didn’t want to stay in Broken Cliff Residence for even one more second. After all, the longer they stayed, the greater the danger, so leaving early was the best choice!
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia quickly left.
However, as Ye Xunhuan and Olivia got up to leave, the finger on the right hand of Gu Sheng, who was lying motionless in a pool of blood as if dead, strangely twitched. Clearly, Gu Sheng was not completely dead; he still had some breath left.
Yet, he seemed to be more out of breath than alive.
Nonetheless, Gu Sheng’s survival was still a considerable trouble for Ye Xunhuan. After all, if Gu Sheng lived until the king arrived, and uttered Ye Xunhuan’s name, the king could piece together what had happened.
Unfortunately, Ye Xunhuan thought Gu Sheng was dead and did not check, and now had left with Olivia, so they had no way of knowing Gu Sheng was still alive.
If Ye Xunhuan knew Gu Sheng was still alive, Ye Xunhuan would definitely give Gu Sheng another sword strike to let him die swiftly!
Not long after Ye Xunhuan and Olivia left, Longshou appeared with his men. Upon seeing the dismembered bodies and blood everywhere, even though Longshou had seen countless storms and experienced much slaughter, his heart couldn’t help but tremble!
The scene before them truly resembled hell itself.
However, Longshou quickly regained composure and immediately said to eighteen men in black, each wearing a mask with silver-white hues on their faces, "Find the young master!"
These eighteen men were Ye Family’s eighteen knights, composed of eighteen masters. After Ye Fanchen disappeared, these knights also vanished, and the king had once tried to eliminate them, but all efforts were fruitless.
Yet, unexpectedly, after Ye Fanchen was trapped in Broken Cliff Residence, these knights had been following Longshou, always lurking in the shadows!
Upon hearing Longshou’s words, the eighteen knights hesitated not a moment before starting to search for Ye Xunhuan here, but to no avail!
This caused Longshou’s brows to furrow slightly. Could Ye Xunhuan have left?
Just then, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded beside Ye Huang’s ear, "Second Master, Gu Sheng is still alive..."
Upon hearing this, Longshou’s eyes immediately flashed with brilliance, then swiftly moved to the man’s side!
At this moment, the man was staring at Gu Sheng, and Gu Sheng now had his internal organs severely injured, and his whole body would feel like being bitten by countless ants with any slight movement, making him suffer greatly!
And now he could not even muster the slightest strength, seemingly in a dying state!
Though Gu Sheng escaped Ye Xunhuan’s misfortune, he knew he couldn’t escape Longshou’s doom.
Despondently, Gu Sheng opened his eyes, looking pale and miserable at Longshou, "Ye... Ye Huang..."
"Gu Sheng, didn’t expect you to end up like this, right?"
"The... the king won’t let you go..."
"We’ve never intended to spare him either!" Longshou snorted coldly, "Yet my nephew was truly careless, how could he let you, the old bastard, stay alive!"
As he spoke, Longshou directly raised his right foot and crushed Gu Sheng’s head.
The next moment, Longshou gave a low command, "See if there are any survivors, if found, kill them!"
At this moment, Longshou was taking care of Ye Xunhuan’s remaining work.
After examining and finding no anomalies, Longshou didn’t feel relieved, directly setting a fire.
He wanted to burn down Broken Cliff Residence, ensuring total obliteration!
Yet, this wasn’t all. After setting fire, to protect Ye Xunhuan further, Longshou left a message!
That message was completely written in blood!
"A debt of blood must be paid, Ye Family’s eighteen knights!"
After leaving the message, Longshou then immediately retreated with his men from Broken Cliff Residence!
Longshou believed that this message would somewhat protect Ye Xunhuan, at least in the short term prevent the king from suspecting Ye Xunhuan.
Thus, the king would target Ye Family’s eighteen knights, overlooking Ye Xunhuan, allowing Ye Xunhuan some time to recover and develop himself.
By the time the king figured it out, or was aware of everything, Ye Xunhuan would have grown strong enough, needing no fear anymore.
It must be said, there is wisdom in maturity; originally, Ye Xunhuan was sure to be targeted by the king, but due to Longshou’s intervention at Broken Cliff Residence, handling Gu Sheng and diverting the king’s attention!
After retreating from Broken Cliff Residence, Longshou let the eighteen knights disperse, and like before, without orders, no one could act rashly.
Yet Longshou knew, Ye Fanchen had appeared, everything would change, and Ye Family was in for a great upheaval!
After all, Ye Fanchen’s appearance meant Ye Xunhuan was returning to Ye Family.
Ye Fanchen definitely wouldn’t allow Ye Family’s descendants to wander outside.
But Longshou also understood, it was not the right time for Ye Xunhuan to return to Ye Family, after he had just kept the events at Broken Cliff Residence from reaching Ye Xunhuan. If Ye Xunhuan returned now, it would obviously lead the king to suspect and kill Ye Xunhuan!
After leaving Broken Cliff Residence, Longshou contacted the woman who had previously taken Ye Xunhuan and Olivia into Broken Cliff Residence!
Once knowing her location, he went straight to find her.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, upon leaving Broken Cliff Residence, found Ye Fanchen and the woman had already vanished.
Clearly, Ye Fanchen had been taken away by the woman.
Yet, Ye Xunhuan was not disheartened by the loss of Ye Fanchen’s whereabouts, knowing Longshou knew where she was, and once he found Longshou, he could find the woman and Ye Fanchen!
Thus, Ye Xunhuan was not anxious to find them.
After all, Longshou wouldn’t run away!
When Olivia and Ye Xunhuan were leaving, Ye Xunhuan’s clothes, stained in blood, looked somewhat striking, forcing Olivia to commit a bit of robbery, obtaining clothes for Ye Xunhuan.
While Ye Xunhuan was changing clothes, Olivia noticed that Ye Xunhuan had acquired quite a few wounds.
After all, Ye Xunhuan had slaughtered Broken Cliff Residence; while those people wanted to flee, knowing escape was difficult, they fought fiercely, naturally causing some harm to Ye Xunhuan!
