Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Chapter 280 Exploring the Map 24

The Ye family members, without any suspicion, took the pills and swallowed them directly.

After seeing that everyone had eaten, Ye Zhenwen explained, "That was a areca palm. Its fragrance will slowly erode people's brains and make our reactions slower and slower."

"It really is fraught with danger at every step!" Ye Zhendong couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Ye Zhenwen and walked towards the southeast.

Several people followed quickly.

As she walked, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly turned her head to the left and looked at a lone branch that was exposed not far away.

strange!

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhenwen asked with concern, glancing at where Ye Zhenzhen was looking. "Is there something wrong with the burned branches?"

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head slightly and remained silent.

Continue walking quickly forward.

Another cup of tea's time passed, and this time it was the right side.

Ye Zhenzhen stopped in her tracks and looked at the withered tree that was still standing not far to her right.

Behind this tree, the forest began to revive.

There's a problem!

What is the problem?

Could it be...

Just as Ye Zhenzhen was lost in thought, the others quickly surrounded her from behind and looked at the big tree.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhendong asked.

Heronan shook his head. "I don't know."

"Don't you feel like you're being watched by something?" Nanfeng said, looking at the tree.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly understood; that was exactly the feeling.

Since entering the forest, it felt like they had entered someone else's surveillance system, and the feeling of being watched at all times made Ye Zhenzhen feel particularly uncomfortable.

Ye Zhenzhen pointed at the big tree and looked at Nanfeng, "Nanfeng, isn't that tree a little strange?"

Nanfeng had been staring at the tree but hadn't noticed anything unusual. Now, he released his divine sense to scan the tree.

With a hiss, Nanfeng suddenly covered his head and squatted down.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen instantly understood that she had been attacked by divine sense.

"court death!"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced back at the Ye family members and said, "Protect your divine senses. I want to see what kind of demons and monsters they are!"

The group nodded in unison, using their spiritual power to protect their consciousness, while their eyes remained fixed on the large tree.

Ye Zhenzhen took out the Qingyin Bell and flicked it lightly with her finger. "I've rested for a long time, it's time to get back to work."

After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen released her divine sense to monitor the entire area within a radius of 1000 li.

At the same time, he channeled his spiritual energy into his right middle finger and flicked it towards the red bell in the Clear Sound Bell.

The sound of "ring...ring...ring..." rang out, each sound clear and sharp, yet possessing an unstoppable penetrating power, instantly reaching the consciousness of all the surrounding creatures.

Ye Zhenzhen kept a close eye on her surroundings, and no movement could escape her notice.

The main focus, naturally, is that eye-catching tree!

Suddenly, Ye Zhenzhen looked up sharply at a large tree directly in front of her. Something seemed to have passed by.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the tree on the right again; it was gone, truly gone.

And the thing inside the big tree directly in front of us seemed to have disappeared as well.

That's really fast, impressive!

Ye Zhenzhen put away the Qingyin Bell, glanced back at the others, and said, "We're safe for now."

The group withdrew their spiritual power and looked at Ye Zhenzhen.

"What exactly is it?" Heronan asked.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head. "I don't know."

After saying that, she looked at Nanfeng and asked, "Do you know?"

It shook its head like the south wind, unclear.

Hey!

Ye Zhenzhen led the group to continue walking in the southeast direction, proceeding cautiously along the way.

This walk took quite a long time, lasting until sunrise.

The Dongfang family's house

Upon receiving the news that the five people had been driven inside, Dongfang Mingchao's lips curled into a slight smile. "Whether you live or die depends on whether you are the people we are looking for."

"Have them keep a close watch on them, make sure they don't escape from anywhere else, understand?"

"Yes."

After his subordinate finished reporting, he hesitated and did not leave.

Should we report Elder Hu's matter?

After thinking about it, I decided it's better to avoid trouble. Forget it, I won't say anything more.

Just as his subordinates were about to leave, Dongfang Mingchao's voice drifted over, "Anything else to report?"

When the young master asked, the subordinates told him the whole story, including how Xiaoshan encountered Elder Hu and was killed in the destruction of the forest.

With a "bang," the cup was smashed to the ground by Dongfang Mingchao.

"What did you say? Where is Elder Hu?"

The subordinate cautiously took a small step to the right before answering hesitantly, "It was taken out by a little girl in the Destroyed Forest. She probably has a personal storage space that can hold a person..."

Having said that, I stopped talking. There's no need to say anything more.

Dongfang Mingchao's expression remained calm, but his fingers unconsciously clenched.

Damn it, how dare they try to fool me!

Looking at the servant behind him, he asked, "Qingfeng, has the person watching Elder Hu's courtyard been replying to messages on time?"

Qingfeng bowed slightly and answered softly, "I reply every two hours. Since I went out once yesterday, I have been staying in Elder Hu's courtyard and haven't come out."

"What did the most recent reply say?"

"everything is normal."

With a "smash," Dongfang Mingchao slammed the small table next to him into pieces. "They're all outside, and they still say everything's normal. Don't they know how to find a chance to go in and check? Useless."

"Give the order: those who have been keeping watch for the past two days will each receive 100 lashes. Go and receive your punishment."

"Yes."

As Qingfeng answered, he secretly hoped that these people would be tough, otherwise they might not be able to get out alive.

Seeing Dongfang Mingchao get up, he quickly followed behind him.

Within fifteen minutes, Dongfang Mingchao led several people to the entrance of Elder Hu's courtyard.

Dongfang Mingchao glanced at Qingfeng, who, with great tact, took out a formation token and opened the courtyard gate.

He bowed and gestured for them to enter, then waited at the door.

Dongfang Mingchao glanced at the guards watching him from behind and walked straight in.

The guards quickly followed. If anything else happened, the young man, who was already teetering on the brink of death, might really be doomed.

Upon entering, Dongfang Mingchao glanced around and immediately understood that it was incredibly simple.

Apart from a large tree, a stone table, and a few stone benches, there was nothing else in the courtyard.

Dongfang Mingchao glanced at Qingfeng, who instantly understood and waved to the guards behind him.

The guards quickly dispersed and began searching for anything unusual.

Qingfeng fawned over Dongfang Mingchao, wiping the stone bench and helping him sit down, while he himself stood respectfully behind him.

Just as Dongfang Mingchao sat down, he heard someone shout from inside the main room, "There's something going on here!"
