787: Chapter 783: The Ye Family’s Forbidden Area 787: Chapter 783: The Ye Family’s Forbidden Area “Dear wife, I’ll be right back!”
“Mmm…”
Yun Xinyan’s body actually reacted slightly to Ye Tian’s kiss.
She twisted her body slightly, and had Ye Tian made any further affectionate gestures toward Yun Xinyan, she might have awakened, so Ye Tian refrained from touching her further.
Ye Tian wrote “I have something urgent, going out” on a piece of paper and left it on the bedside table, then hurriedly departed.
Because he was in such a rush, Ye Tian didn’t linger for a moment; he utilized his Qinggong and made his way toward Lianghe Town.
Dawn was just breaking, the east faintly aglow, and taking advantage of the lingering night, Ye Tian raced across dozens of miles.
In no time, Ye Tian arrived at Lianghe Town.
Unlike his first visit, this time, he came discreetly.
Although the people of Lianghe Town were martially inclined, there were few real experts among them.
Therefore, when Ye Tian used his extraordinary Qinggong to enter Lianghe Town, no one noticed.
Ye Tian paused for a moment at the entrance of the Ye family’s main residence and briefly assessed the combat strength of the four elders of the Ye family.
Although he had defeated Sima Feng, Ye Tian was not arrogant enough to think he could single-handedly take on and defeat the combined force of the four elders of the Ye family…
However, Ye Tian could not afford to miss any clues regarding the Innate Cultivation Technique, which is why he had traveled all the way from Jiang City to Lianghe Town.
So Ye Tian took a deep breath, then leaped into the main residence of the Ye family!
Upon reaching the courtyard of the main residence, Ye Tian hid behind a rockery.
To avoid being discovered by the four elders of the Ye, he also deliberately concealed his presence.
Then, using his clairvoyant ability, Ye Tian scrutinized the layout of the entire courtyard.
While closely observing, Ye Tian also compared the arrangement with the drawings on a parchment he had obtained from Daoist Wu Chen.
Upon comparing the two, he was even more certain that the drawing depicted the courtyard of the Ye family’s main residence, and the marked ‘X’ showed the family’s forbidden area!
In addition to studying the layout of the courtyard, Ye Tian also used his clairvoyant ability to observe the positions of the four elders of Ye—
Elder Ye Zhihuan was in a corner of the courtyard practicing his cultivation technique, which Ye Tian could not identify.
Second elder, Ye Zhicang, was still asleep in the bedroom!
Third elder, Ye Zhiran, was nowhere to be found despite Ye Tian’s searches using his clairvoyant ability.
Could he have gone out?
However, the thought crossed Ye Tian’s mind that Ye Zhiran was in charge of the household groceries, so it made sense that he might be out shopping!
Fourth elder, Ye Zhirong, was also not visible.
Could it be that Ye Zhirong accompanied Ye Zhiran shopping?
That meant, in the main residence, only two of the four Ye elders were present, and one was fast asleep.
For Ye Tian, this was an opportunity of a lifetime!
So, Ye Tian immediately employed his Qinggong steps, stride by stride, he moved toward the backyard, all the while keeping a close watch on Ye Zhihuan’s movements.
Ye Zhihuan was absorbed in his practice and, combined with Ye Tian’s exceptionally covert movements and silent steps, was completely unaware of Ye Tian’s infiltration.
In a short time, Ye Tian arrived at the gate to the forbidden area in the backyard.
The gate was locked, and naturally, Ye Tian was not going to break through it.
He took a careful look at the surrounding walls of the backyard, which were not high.
With his own abilities, he could easily leap over.
Ye Tian took another look at Ye Zhihuan, who was still engrossed in his practice, and after confirming that Ye Zhihuan hadn’t noticed him, Ye Tian gently leaped over the walls of the backyard and went straight inside.
“Is this the forbidden area?”
Ye Tian murmured softly to himself.
Although the backyard also had pavilions, rockeries, and a pool, they were all covered in moss and the pool was full of duckweed.
This indicated that the backyard had been long neglected.
But Ye Tian rationalized that since the four Ye elders were advanced in age and even the front yard remained untended, it was natural that this forbidden area in the backyard had been even less looked after.
Ye Tian carefully searched the backyard for any hidden secrets about why the four Ye elders would designate this place as a forbidden area.
Did the hidden secrets have anything to do with the Innate Cultivation Technique?
The backyard was not large, about half the size of the backyard in the main estate of Night King Hall.
With Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability, it was clear to see what was in the backyard.
However, he found nothing unusual.
“Could it be that there’s nothing in the forbidden area?”
Ye Tian was puzzled, yet his instinct told him there must be something in this backyard!
Therefore, Ye Tian once again used his clairvoyant ability, determined to see every blade of grass, every leaf clearly.
He carefully examined the bottoms of the pavilion, the rockery, and the pool.
Finally, when his gaze fell on a pair of stone benches in the backyard, he paused.
The stone benches were also covered in moss, looking like oval-shaped green balls.
However, with his clairvoyant ability, Ye Tian could see what was hidden underneath the moss.
Ye Tian distinctly saw some text carved on the stone bench, text that even he, with his extensive knowledge, could not recognize!
“Strange?
There’s text like this in the world?
It’s not Chinese, it’s not English, it’s not Latin, it’s not Sanskrit… What language is it?”
Unable to understand the text on the stone bench, Ye Tian also had no idea what it meant.
More importantly, the bench was covered in dense moss, and Ye Tian had to use his clairvoyant ability to see the text.
Using his clairvoyant ability was quite draining physically, and as Ye Tian continuously pondered over the text, his energy seemed somewhat depleted…
“It seems I have no other choice!”
Ye Tian sighed and took out the wooden sword he carried with him.
This sword was now a mid-grade Life Weapon, not merely described by the phrase “cuts through iron as if it were mud”; even reinforced concrete skyscrapers could be shattered into pieces by Ye Tian if he so desired.
Of course, besides its sharpness, this wooden sword was also feather-light, not only powerful but also capable of precise and delicate control…
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~~~~”
With a gentle swing of the wooden sword, a barely audible sound was produced, but the effect was impressively thorough.
The moss covering the stone bench disappeared under the wind of Ye Tian’s sword, and the text on the bench was clearly visible in front of him.
Now, Ye Tian could see the text on the stone bench without needing to use his clairvoyant ability, yet he still couldn’t decipher its meaning…
“Very strange, where in the world is this script from?
It’s all twisted and indecipherable!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but wonder, his mind racing, yet he couldn’t think of an answer.
Various signs indicated that the strange text on the bench was related to the Innate Cultivation Technique that Ye Tian was most eager to obtain, but the more urgently Ye Tian pondered, the less he could figure out…
Haste makes waste, so Ye Tian had to give up.
Now, Ye Tian was in the backyard, which was a forbidden area of the Ye family.
The four elders of the Ye family had repeatedly warned everyone not to approach this backyard.
Ye Tian had sneaked in because of the four elders of the Ye family, only Ye Zhihuan was practicing in the yard, and the other three were either sleeping or not at home…
If Ye Zhihuan noticed something amiss, if Ye Zhicang woke up, if Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhirong returned…
In short, the chances of being discovered were extremely high, and the longer he stayed in the backyard, the higher the likelihood of getting caught…
Since the Night King Hall had formed an alliance with the Ye family, Ye Tian could not provoke the ire of the four elders of the Ye family, nor did he want to be their enemy.
Therefore, this was not a place to stay for long, yet Ye Tian could not simply ignore the strange text on the stone bench.
After pondering briefly, Ye Tian took out his phone and used its camera to capture pictures of the text on the stone bench.
Then Ye Tian planned to leave, but suddenly, a voice pierced into his ears!
“Who dares to trespass into the forbidden land of the Ye family!”
The speaker was naturally Ye Zhihuan, the clan leader of the Ye family!
Ye Zhihuan leaped into the backyard, furiously glaring at the intruder.
When he realized it was Ye Tian, his anger erupted!
“Ye Tian, is that you!?
We have an alliance, and I’ve told you before, this backyard is off-limits to anyone not of the Ye family.
Why then would you trespass?”
Ye Zhihuan questioned fiercely; then he noticed the stone bench behind Ye Tian, now stripped of its moss, revealing the text clearly, which intensified Ye Zhihuan’s rage!
“Bastard!
Bastard!
Ye Tian, I knew you were up to no good!
You’ve dared to pry into the greatest secret of the Ye family!
You won’t be able to leave today!
You can’t leave!”
With that, Ye Zhihuan summoned all his strength, his body immediately surrounded by a dazzling light.
“This is bad!”
Ye Tian hadn’t expected to be discovered by Ye Zhihuan so quickly, and now he was facing the situation he had least wanted.
As the clan leader of the Ye family, and deeply secretive about the family’s forbidden ground, any intruder would face strict punishment, and not even Ye Tian, despite their alliance with the Ye family, was likely to be an exception.
From the moment Ye Zhihuan employed the “Sun Drop” technique, Ye Tian could see that he was furious, and the consequences were grave!
The surrounding Power of Light was absorbed by Ye Zhihuan, and as the strength entered his body, the blinding light gradually faded.
What appeared before Ye Tian was an enraged Ye Zhihuan.
From him, Ye Tian could distinctly sense waves of murderous intent!
