40: Chen Bai plans, the Ye family decides!

Ye Family Pass.

Bai Family!

The Family Head, Bai Ren, was leisurely sipping tea in the great hall.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai! Good news, good news!"

Bai Ren turned his head and couldn't help but smile as he stood up.

"Brother Chen? What brings Your Excellency here?"

"Also, what is this good news you speak of?"

"Come, come, please sit!"

Bai Ren quickly motioned for the other party to take a seat.

The newcomer was none other than Chen Sun, the Family Head of the Chen Family from Ye Family Pass!

As soon as Chen Sun sat down, he smiled and said,

"Have you heard about the Jiang Family and the Ye Family joining forces a few days ago to recast the border defense line?"

Bai Ren replied, "Naturally, I've heard about it. It's been a hot topic, and everyone is waiting for good news!"

"But no one cares about the plight of our Chen and Bai Families. How can this be called good news?"

Chen Sun quickly smiled and said,

"Brother Bai, don't be anxious. What I'm talking about isn't that, but another matter that just happened!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Bai Ren asked curiously.

Chen Sun immediately leaned into Bai Ren's ear and began to speak.

After listening, Bai Ren was also stunned and exclaimed in surprise,

"Such a thing actually happened?"

"Then, who exactly is this Ye Family member who was captured?"

Chen Sun smiled and said,

"What Ye Family member? I heard from the mercenary group stationed outside the Immortal Fox Forest that he's a Husband who lives with wifes family from a Ye Family branch!"

"A Husband who lives with wifes family? They went to all that trouble for a Husband who lives with wifes family?"

"Even Ye Changfeng went?"

"That doesn't make sense!"

Chen Sun, upon hearing this, smiled and said,

"Brother Bai is confused!"

"What is the current state of the Ye Family?"

"How can they compare to our Chen and Bai Families!"

"The Ye Family has suffered heavy losses these past years, and their descendants are worse off each year!"

"If this situation continues, within two hundred years, they probably won't even need our two families to act; they'll collapse on their own!"

"In this current situation, even a Husband who lives with wifes family is someone they cannot abandon, otherwise, wouldn't they truly be cutting off their own lineage?"

Bai Ren heard this and laughed.

"Brother Chen indeed has great foresight! Back then, Ye Changfeng relied on his good relationship with Jiang Shan!"

"He forcibly gained control of this Ye Family Pass!"

"But what of it? It's only been a hundred years!"

"Under Brother Chen's planning, their numbers are now dwindling and they are on the verge of collapse!"

"Brother Chen, why don't we..."

As Bai Ren spoke, he made a gesture of slitting a throat.

Chen Sun, however, smiled and said,

"Brother Bai, no rush!"

"We cannot show our faces in this matter!"

"Otherwise, Jiang Shan will not let us control this Ye Family Pass!"

"The more it is at this time, the more we must remain calm!"

"When the Ye Family can no longer hold on, then Jiang Shan will have to actively beg us to manage Ye Family Pass!"

Bai Shan heard this and couldn't help but laugh!

"If it really succeeds, then when we report back to Big Brother, we will have rendered a great service!"

"This matter entirely relies on Brother Chen!"

Chen Sun smiled and said,

"Since you and I have long pledged allegiance to Big Brother, why speak of such things!"

"When you and I were stranded here, if Big Brother hadn't helped, how could we have achieved what we have today!"

Bai Ren quickly said,

"Then Brother Chen, what do you think we should do now?"

Chen Sun pondered for a moment and said,

"For now, we do nothing!"

"I have already reported the situation to Big Brother!"

"If there's any action, he will naturally inform us immediately!"

"What we need to do now is to stand by and do nothing!"

"Good! Good!"

Bai Ren nodded with a smile... Meanwhile, in the Immortal Fox Forest!

Under Liu Bairan's lead,

Ye An quickly saw Jiang Yu and Ye Xinlian.

And in between the two of them, there was indeed a man.

However, Ye An had never seen this person before.

But thinking about it, he knew that this person should be Ye Changfeng, the Family Head of the Ye Family.

Liu Bairan was clearly very cautious, stopping a considerable distance away from the three.

Although this fellow was very strong in the past, he is only at the Heavenly Mansion Realm now, after all.

If he got too close, and Ye Changfeng suddenly attacked, it would still be very dangerous!

Seeing Ye An and Liu Bairan appear, Ye Changfeng quickly asked,

"Are you Ye An?"

"It's me, it's me!"

Ye An quickly said.

Ye Changfeng then looked at Liu Bairan, who was entirely shrouded in a black banner beside him.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"I, Ye Changfeng, know a few great demons above the Heavenly Mansion Realm within this Immortal Fox Forest!"

"But I've never heard of someone like you!"

Facing the inquiry, Liu Bairan merely smiled.

"There are many great demons in the Immortal Fox Forest; how could you possibly know them all!"

Ye Changfeng smiled at this and didn't waste any more words.

"Since that's the case, I won't waste words either!"

"Name your terms!"

"How can you release him?"

Liu Bairan didn't speak upon hearing this; instead, she kicked Ye An.

Ye An quickly said,

"I've already asked about the terms!"

"This great demon is quite reasonable!"

"Strictly speaking, there are two!"

"First, building an isolation Formation is acceptable, but it must be outside the Immortal Fox Forest!"

"Second, you must provide ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Liquid!"

"How about it, isn't it very simple?"

Although Ye An spoke casually, he was actually unsure in his heart.

The first point was still manageable; the most troublesome was the second.

Because the value of these ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Liquid was too great.

One must know that when Ye An was in the branch family, he only had an allowance of thirty Spirit Stones in the first month.

And these thirty Spirit Stones were Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Above Low-Grade Spirit Stones were Medium-Grade Spirit Stones and High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Finally, there was Spirit Liquid!

Just to condense one bottle of Spirit Liquid, the amount of Low-Grade Spirit Stones required would pile up like a mountain!

What's more, it was a full ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Liquid!

That price, even for the Ye Family Main Branch, would probably mean emptying their entire coffers!

Indeed, as soon as Ye An spoke,

Ye Changfeng and Ye Xinyan's expressions changed.

Even Jiang Yu frowned deeply.

Ten bottles of Spirit Liquid, even for their Jiang Family, was no small expense!

"The demand for ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Liquid is too high!"

"Even for our Jiang Family, it's not a small expense!"

Jiang Yu couldn't help but speak.

Ye An could only give an awkward smile upon hearing this, but he didn't respond.

After all, it wasn't the Jiang Family that had to produce the Spirit Medicine, so Ye An still looked towards Ye Changfeng and Ye Xinyan.

Whether he could leave alive depended on them!

"Father!"

Ye Xinyan also looked at Ye Changfeng beside her, and at the same time, lowered her voice and said,

"How about we borrow some from the Jiang Family?"

"If Aunt Quan's words are true, this Ye An is still worth saving!"

Ye Changfeng shook his head and said,

"I trust my sister-in-law's judgment; Ye An must indeed be saved!"

"But the problem is, the Jiang Family probably won't help us. No matter how you slice it, this is our Ye Family's own business!"

"And every bottle of Spirit Liquid is extremely precious; the Jiang Family might not lend a helping hand!"

"Then what should we do!"

Ye Xinyan asked worriedly.

While the two were talking, Liu Bairan in front had already grown impatient.

"How have the discussions gone? Are you saving him or not!"

Ye An's heart also tensed up.

To be honest, if Ye Changfeng didn't save him, he would understand.

It's just that he would have to find another way to escape!

Just as he was considering whether he could escape by serving Liu Bairan well,

Ye Changfeng spoke up.

"Of course, he must be saved!"

"It's just, can you give me some time!"

"To produce ten bottles of Spirit Liquid at once is not easy for my Ye Family!"

"Eight bottles are possible, but can the last two bottles be delayed?"

"I will find a way to gather them for you within a year!"

Liu Bairan, upon hearing this, laughed.

"A year?"

"Alright, then you can come and save him in a year!"

"Also, this great Formation can also be set up in a year!"

After speaking, Liu Bairan pulled Ye An and was about to leave!

But at this moment, Jiang Yu, who was nearby, spoke up.

"Wait!"
