373: Chapter 373: Many Doubts

Ye Qing listened to King Fenghai and nodded, "Then I will trouble King Fenghai in the future. Furthermore, I seem to have heard that the beast blood this giant tree drinks cannot be just any ordinary Rank of beast blood. It would be best if it could be beast blood above the Grandmaster Rank; Marquis Realm beast blood would be even better."

As he spoke, Ye Qing looked at King Fenghai, a bright smile appearing on his face.

King Fenghai: "..."

Good grief, you were waiting for me here, weren't you? Not only do I have to find people to water your tree with beast blood, but it also has to be high Rank, right?

Why do you have so many demands now?

However, seeing the people around him, King Fenghai had no way to say these things.

He only wanted to slap himself twice now; why was he so loose-lipped earlier, taking the initiative to help Ye Qing water the tree?

Now it was too late, and he had no way to refute it.

Thinking this, he sighed.

Ye Qing looked at his expression and smiled, "King Fenghai, why are you sighing? It's fine, we'll go plant the tree together in a while."

"We can also take the opportunity to clarify the relevant situation. After all, everyone inside the Barrier should know about me being ambushed by now, right?"

As Ye Qing spoke, he walked toward the back, "You all sit here for now, I'll be back in a while."

After he left, the gates of Qishan Villa were knocked upon.

Zhou Lingxue went to open the door and saw a guard outside. The guard looked at King Fenghai and walked in quickly.

"King Fenghai, I have a situation to report to you. Just now, when we were on duty at the city gate, we saw Lord Ye enter, and furthermore..."

The guard recounted the previous situation, including Ye Qing holding up the giant tree with one hand, and so on.

"Alright, I already know. Look at me, I'm already at Qishan Villa, how could I not know?" King Fenghai said crossly.

Guard: "..."

We weren't just going to the military department to find you to report, who knew you would arrive at Qishan Villa early.

The guard thought to himself, but he didn't dare say it out loud and could only prepare to take his leave.

However, shortly after, a figure approached from the distance.

It was none other than Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was using Step Treading the Heavenly Dipper.

With every step he took, a Bagua formation appeared under his feet. Behind him, the giant tree floated in mid-air, following Ye Qing like a Protector.

King Fenghai: "..."

Joseph: "..."

Good grief, your entrance is truly extraordinary.

"Alright, let's go to the mineral vein." Ye Qing said, leading everyone out.

Meanwhile, inside the Barrier, many Family heads began to gather.

Drinking tea together.

However, their expressions were grave. "Have you heard? It seems something happened to Lord Ye."

"I've heard a little, but it seems this news has been blocked by the military department. I only heard some fragmented information. It seems that Lord Ye was ambushed, but those people pretended to be defeated to lure Lord Ye deep into their trap. Lord Ye pursued them all the way to the border between the Western War Zone and the Southern War Zone."

"There, he fell into the enemy's trap, and a fierce battle broke out between both sides. It seems a huge explosion occurred. I heard that all the vegetation was leveled, and a tall mountain peak was even sliced flat!"

"That combat power was simply terrifying. It seems everyone present was turned into minced meat."

"Anyway, it seems the people who went to explore from the Western War Zone and Southern War Zone reported that they didn't see a single complete person there; it was all minced meat. Moreover, everyone's remains were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who was who."

"I don't know if anyone survived..."

...

A Family head did not hold back and recounted everything he knew. As everyone listened, their eyes widened sharply. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Such a thing had actually happened in the Modu Barrier?

This is too shocking!

"Then why determine that Lord Ye has..."

A Family head was still refuting, his face full of disbelief. After all, in his heart, Lord Ye's strength could be said to have reached the King-level Expert Rank.

How could he have fallen so easily?

"This time, among those who ambushed Lord Ye, there were King-level Experts, and the rest were all Marquis Realm Experts. Lord Ye was fighting alone against many. Sigh, surviving would be extremely difficult. Furthermore, it seems the leaders of the Southern War Zone and Western War Zone gave the assessment that even a King-level Expert probably couldn't have escaped that explosion unscathed, let alone Lord Ye..."

This Family head said slowly, his expression desolate. He didn't want Ye Qing to fall just like that either.

After all, they had just eaten meat with Ye Qing.

This was arranged by Ye Qing; they could develop it together. If Ye Qing were gone, the mineral vein would likely be taken over completely by the military department, and they wouldn't even get a sip of broth.

Furthermore, there were other matters.

This matter was simply too sudden; no one could accept it.

"Let's wait and see. If King Fenghai and the others hold a funeral or something for Lord Ye, we will go to pay our respects. After all, Lord Ye treated us well."

"Mm."

"..."

Everyone nodded.

Subsequently, the Family head who had shared the news looked at the others, "The situation I just told you, you all understand. It can be considered classified now, so don't spread it around recklessly, otherwise, we will all suffer."

"Understood, who would spread it?"

A Family head said, then sighed, "I'm going out to get some air."

As he spoke, he walked out with an indifferent expression. Originally, he thought he could help Lord Ye develop the mineral vein, and then establish a connection with such a young Powerful Expert, paving a smooth path for the future development of his Family.

But now that Ye Qing had fallen, all his plans and benefits had gone down the drain.

He could only re-plan.

Sigh.

Thinking this, he walked to the railing and looked at the situation outside in the distance.

But the next moment.

He looked to the other side, and his eyes suddenly widened sharply, hardly able to believe what he saw.

What is that?

Why is there a giant tree running above the houses?

Huh?!

Is this world this magical?

He immediately rubbed his eyes and looked again. That's right!

It was indeed a giant tree floating in mid-air, moving above the houses.

What is going on?

He just wanted to go back and call everyone to come and take a look to see what kind of weird situation this was.

But then, the giant tree moved between the houses.

The Family head looked and realized there was someone underneath.

But, even if there was someone, how was this achieved?

What kind of method is this?

At that moment, he had many doubts in his heart.
