Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenwen pondered for a moment. Today, the only voice transmission was Ye Anbo's voice, not Zhen'er's. Normally, Zhen'er loved to join in the fun, and she would never miss an opportunity to transmit her voice. It was unusual that she didn't transmit her voice today. He also thought about how Ye Anbo had unusually prevented him from listening to the transmission earlier. Oh no, could something have happened to Zhen'er?

Looking at the transmission talisman again, he knew that it was rude of him to listen to other people's transmissions so casually, but considering what had just happened, Ye Zhenwen couldn't care less about that now. He would apologize to his grandfather after he came out of seclusion.

Thinking this, Ye Zhenwen crushed the communication talisman without hesitation and heard Ye Anbo's voice inside. Ye Zhenwen knew that he had made the right bet; it was indeed Ye Anbo's communication to his grandfather.

Just as I was feeling relieved, I heard the message transmitted through my voice.

Ye Zhenwen thought about it and realized that there were too many issues to handle alone.

He flew back home on his sword, intending to discuss it with his parents.

When he got home, no one was there, not even his younger brother Ye Zhenwu.

Ye Zhenwen sent a communication talisman to each of his parents, saying that he had urgent business with them and asked them to come back quickly.

While anxiously waiting, I kept thinking to myself, "Judging from my uncle's anxious voice, Zhen'er must still not be found. She's been missing for a month. What should I do? What should I do now?"

An hour later, Ye Anxin and He Ruonan returned with two-year-old Ye Zhenwu.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Zhenwen said, "It seems you know about Zhen'er's disappearance."

Ye Anxin, who was initially feeling dejected, was slightly shocked upon hearing Ye Zhenwen's words and asked, "How did you know?"

Ye Zhenwen then recounted how he had secretly overheard Ye Anbo's telepathic communication.

Ye Anxin rolled her eyes and said, "This is the last time."

"The location where Zhen'er went missing has been teleported over. Tomorrow, the family will arrange for several people at the 11th level of Qi Refining to go to the location under the guise of training, but in reality, they will be searching for her. Your father, at the 10th level of Qi Refining, will also go."

Ye Zhenwen said, "I'm going too, take me with you."

Ye Anxin was already worried, and on top of that, the child was disobedient, so she lost her temper: "Go? What are you going to take? With your Qi Refining Level 7 cultivation? Stay home and behave yourself."

He Ruonan was anxious. Seeing his wife getting angry, he said to Ye Zhenwen, "Father, don't worry, Father will find my sister."

Seeing that his parents were in a bad mood, Ye Zhenwen didn't say anything and went back to his room.

Seeing that his son was relatively obedient, Heronan began to comfort his wife.

Ye Zhenwen returned to his room and, without resting, put all the pills and talismans he had recently refined into his storage bag.

Taking advantage of the fact that his family wasn't paying attention, he left his own courtyard and flew towards the alchemy room behind the school.

When they arrived at the alchemy room, they saw Fifth Grandfather studying the elixir formula.

Ye Zhenwen did not disturb him, but sat next to his fifth grandfather and stared straight at him without saying a word.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

The time for half a stick of incense has passed.

Fifth Grandfather Ye Shilan finally snapped out of his reverie about the elixir formula and turned to see a pair of resentful eyes.

"Ahem," Fifth Grandfather coughed awkwardly and said, "Hey, just say what you want to say, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Zhenwen: "I'm going tomorrow too."

Ye Shilan said helplessly, "You know? Everyone has important things to do and no time to take care of you."

Ye Zhenwen: "I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself."

"..."

An hour later, Ye Shilan led Ye Zhenwen to the newly built secret room behind Ye Shibai's room and said, "Choose a sword and a piece of armor for yourself."

Ye Zhenwen took a high-grade magic weapon, the Cloud Piercing Sword, and a black shield, the Black Armor Shield.

Ye Shilan led Ye Zhenwen back to the alchemy room and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's just wait here. You'd better come back in good health, otherwise, well, none of you will stay put."

After saying that, he glared at Ye Zhenwen and continued studying the pill formula.

Ye Zhenwen touched his nose, stayed timidly in the corner refining his magical artifact, and dared not speak again.

The next day, as dawn broke, the five people who were going out had already gathered at the mountain gate.

Ye Shilan appeared with Ye Zhenwen. Ye Zhenwen walked directly towards the assembled group, while everyone else watched without saying a word.

Ye Anxin looked angrily at her disobedient son and said, "Do you really have to go?"

Ye Zhenwen nodded without replying.

Ye Anxin looked at Ye Shilan, but Ye Shilan silently turned her head away, avoiding eye contact, and said to the assembled team, "Strive to complete the mission, and don't forget to protect yourselves."

Everyone nodded, summoned two spirit cranes, and the three of them rode on the cranes in groups.

Only then did Ye Zhenwen take a serious look at the strength of the group of people who had come with them: his father, He Ruonan, was at the 10th level of Qi Refining; his tenth uncle, Ye Anyu, was at the 10th level of Qi Refining; his eldest sister, Ye Zhenhan, was at the 11th level of Qi Refining; his second brother, Ye Zhendong, was at the 11th level of Qi Refining; his third brother, Ye Zhentian, was at the 11th level of Qi Refining; and he himself was at the 7th level of Qi Refining.

Ye Zhenwen didn't know if their trip would go smoothly; he only hoped that his sister would be safe.

The group of six spent half a day riding a spirit crane, half a day flying on a sword, and meditating for two or three hours each night before continuing their journey. Under this intense travel schedule, they arrived at the location where Ye Anbo had given them when they disappeared half a month later.

Upon seeing a group of people, neither side made the first move, but instead became wary.

As a cultivator who frequently travels, Ye Anyu is experienced in communication. After politely bowing, he said to the other party, "Fellow Daoists, we are cultivators from the Ye family of Mianyu Pavilion. We are here because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhenhan shouted loudly, "Dad, we're here."

While flying in the sky, Ye Anbo seemed to hear someone calling "Father." He turned around and saw his daughter. He quickly flew over on his sword.

Ye Anbo landed on the ground and, seeing that it was someone sent by the family, said, "You arrived so quickly, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Zhenwen and He Ruonan quickly ran to Ye Anbo, and were just about to speak when Ye Anbo shook his head.

The expectation in their eyes instantly turned into disappointment.

Ye Anbo pointed to the dozen or so people around him and said, "These are people I borrowed from the Ji family to help out. They are now checking every inch of the area."

After saying that, he gestured to them to continue and not to worry about this side.

He continued introducing He Ruonan and the others, "This is Ling Feng, a formation master introduced by the Ji family."

After nodding to He Ruonan and the others, Ling Feng continued to look around without saying a word.

Ye Anbo continued, "After we finished communicating with the family, we went to Ji Xiahan of the Ji family for help. Uncle Li, who was with him, said that if we hadn't found her after so long, it was very likely that Zhen'er had accidentally encountered some kind of formation and been sucked in."
