Racing back without any incidents or conversations, Ye Tian returned safely to the Cold Family the next morning.
After coming back, he did not go to Cold Boyuan to share the good news first, but instead sought out Cold Frost, as she was undoubtedly worried about him at that moment.
Ye Tian first went to Cold Frost's residence but did not find her there. He then thought to return to his own place, and indeed found Cold Frost sitting inside, looking very anxious.
Upon seeing Ye Tian return, Cold Frost immediately rushed forward, wrapping her arms around him and scolding, "Where have you been? Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Feeling a bit ashamed at her words, Ye Tian gently stroked Cold Frost's hair and said, "Xiaoshuang, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I wasn't worried about you at all," Cold Frost said, releasing her embrace and speaking contrary to her feelings.
"Really? Are you a ghost?" Ye Tian teased.
"I won't talk to you," Cold Frost said as she turned back to sit by the bed, then asked, "Why were you gone for so long again?"
The reason she didn't ask if Ye Tian was hurt was that he looked lively and even more spirited than when he had left.
"Xiaoshuang, I've reached the late stage of Second-Stage Martial Artist!" Ye Tian did not answer her question directly but instead shared the news that made him happiest with his beloved.
"Really? That's great! Ye Tian, you're amazing!" Cold Frost cheered. She was particularly happy every time Ye Tian improved his strength, even more so than he himself felt.
"Just a little show-off, haha!" Ye Tian replied proudly; there was no need for false modesty in front of his beloved.
"Does Dad know yet?" Cold Frost asked again.
"Not yet. I haven't gone to find Uncle Leng. I came back to apologize to you first," Ye Tian laughed.
"Cut!" Cold Frost pouted and stopped arguing with Ye Tian, then said, "Let's go tell Father this good news together."
Ye Tian nodded, and the two of them headed to Cold Bo Yuan Mansion hand in hand.
In fact, Cold Frost was eager to share this joyful news with her father for two reasons. First, she wanted to make him happy, but that was only a small part of it. Second, she felt proud of Ye Tian from the bottom of her heart and couldn't wait to announce to the world how excellent her beloved was; this was a common trait among all women.
Soon, they appeared in Cold Boyuan's study. At that moment, Cold Boyuan was flipping through some books. Upon seeing the two arrive, he showed a joyful expression. He understood Ye Tian well; Ye Tian's return naturally meant he had achieved his goal outside. In other words, Ye Tian had already reached the late stage of a Second-Stage Martial Artist or even higher.
However, the joy on Cold Boyuan's face quickly faded as he remembered his previous agreement with Ye Tian, which also meant that Ye Tian would face great danger.
"Uncle Leng," Ye Tian greeted with a smile.
"Mm..." Cold Boyuan responded casually, lost in thought.
"I have to go," Ye Tian knew what Cold Boyuan was thinking; he must be struggling with how to make Ye Tian give up this adventure for the Cold Family.
Cold Boyuan looked up at Ye Tian and saw his determined expression. After pondering for a moment, he abandoned his earlier thoughts.
"The Wang family set out two days ago," Cold Boyuan said decisively, moving straight to the point after letting go of his previous concerns.
Ye Tian's face showed surprise at this news; he never expected the Wang family to head out without waiting for the Divine Dragon's Tribulation. However, this surprise only lasted for a moment before dissipating because the Wang family's actions were meaningless and practically a death sentence.
He had personally experienced the might of the Divine Dragon. Even if they found the Dragon's Tribulation Site, all that awaited them would be death—there was no other outcome.
However, if the Divine Dragon's Tribulation failed and they were struck by heavenly lightning or if they succeeded but disappeared without a trace, it would be different. In that case, it would greatly reduce the dangers of treasure hunting.
"Who did the Wang family send?" Ye Tian asked.
"Wang Tianba personally comes out, accompanied by Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Fan Fenglin. As for Wang Weiyang, his whereabouts have always been elusive; it's uncertain whether he will participate." Cold Boyuan's expression was serious mixed with confusion. His greatest concern was Wang Weiyang, a person who appeared and disappeared unpredictably and possessed considerable strength, making him Ye Tian's biggest potential threat.
"Heh, quite an impressive display," Ye Tian remarked nonchalantly. However, this was not a sarcastic comment; if that were the case, it meant the Wang family was almost exhausting their resources, as only the blind Wang Tiankuang remained at home.
"Xiao Tian..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Leng. I know what I'm doing," Ye Tian interrupted Cold Boyuan, understanding what he wanted to say.
Cold Boyuan frowned slightly. His biggest worry was that Ye Tian would act recklessly due to his hatred for Wang Weiyang; such actions would undoubtedly lead to unfavorable outcomes.
"Dad, can't we just give up on the Divine Dragon Treasure?" Cold Frost sensed the seriousness of the situation and was very concerned about Ye Tian.
Upon hearing this, both Cold Boyuan and Ye Tian shook their heads helplessly. Although they were eager to seek the Divine Dragon Treasure, they would not take risks without the Wang family involved. The allure of the Divine Dragon Treasure was undeniable, but it paled in comparison to a person's life.
Cold Frost grew even more anxious and was about to speak again when a Thunderous Sound suddenly echoed from the sky. The deafening noise caused the rooftops to tremble, and ash fell like rain.
Cold Boyuan and Ye Tian exchanged glances, both expressions filled with shock. "The Divine Dragon's Tribulation has come early?!"
After saying this, the two quickly dashed out of the house and looked eastward. In the distance, dark clouds gathered ominously on the horizon, forming a massive vortex where lightning flickered violently. A gigantic Thunder Pillar was brewing within.
"How could this happen?" Ye Tian asked.
Cold Boyuan slowly shook his head, his expression extremely grave. He had never heard of such an anomaly where the Divine Dragon faced its tribulation ahead of time. However, he understood that since it had not fully recovered from its last tribulation, this time it would likely lead to its demise.
If the Divine Dragon perished, the Wang family that acted first would likely seize the opportunity to claim the Divine Dragon Treasure.
"We can't delay! I will set off immediately!" Ye Tian snapped back to reality from his brief moment of shock and then leaped into action, ready to depart.
"Wait!" Cold Boyuan pressed down on Ye Tian's shoulder and said seriously, "Let my brother and Third Brother accompany you."
Ye Tian stopped his footsteps, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. In truth, he did not want to involve Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng in this extremely dangerous journey, but if he did not agree, Cold Boyuan would not let him leave.
Seeing Ye Tian agree, Cold Boyuan felt a bit more at ease. He thought to himself: with the strength of the three of them, they should have no major issues against Wang Tianba and the others. The Wang family would likely not abandon their stronghold for an elusive Divine Dragon Treasure. Leaving the blind Wang Tiankuang behind was surely a trap to lure enemies; Wang Weiyang should still be in Spirit Martial Town. But if he was hiding there, why would he do so? Luring the Cold Family to attack would not benefit them at all...
Unless...
"Xiao Tian! Wang Weiyang!"
Cold Boyuan suddenly realized the key to the problem, but by the time he spoke, Ye Tian had already vanished without a trace.
The Wang family's decision to leave Wang Tiankuang behind was indeed a tactic to lure enemies, but it would be more accurate to say it was a way to confuse them. Wang Tianba must have anticipated Cold Boyuan's thoughts and set up this ruse, leaving only the blind Wang Tiankuang behind to make Cold Boyuan believe that Wang Weiyang was still in Spirit Martial Town. In reality, Wang Weiyang should have quietly joined Wang Tianba and the others in the mountains by now!
"This is bad! Wang Tianba wants to take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate my Cold Family Head!" Cold Boyuan was alarmed. With Wang Weiyang present, Ye Tian and the others were definitely no match for them. Once the Wang family eliminated them, they could easily obtain the Divine Dragon Treasure and return with its power to attack the Cold Family. Even if the opponents did not possess the Divine Dragon Treasure at that time, it would still be difficult for them to resist; the Cold Family would undoubtedly fall!
Thinking of this, Cold Boyuan exerted all his strength in pursuit of Ye Tian. The uncertainty surrounding the Divine Dragon Treasure was too great; even if he abandoned it, it would not matter. However, Ye Tian and Cold Bo Stone were the backbone of the Cold Family; he absolutely could not allow them to be wiped out by the Wang family.
Cold Boyuan rushed forward using his energy, but lacking Skyward Martial Arts, when he arrived at Ye Tian's residence, he found that Ye Tian was not inside. The place was in disarray with clear signs of a search; evidently, Ye Tian had already packed up. Since the incident happened suddenly and he had not organized properly, that explained the mess inside.
Seeing this scene made Cold Boyuan's heart sink. Given Ye Tian's speed, he must have already joined up with Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng and left the Cold Family far behind.
Even though he had guessed the outcome, Cold Boyuan still went to Cold Bo Stone's residence. Upon arrival, he found no one there either. After asking a guard, he learned that Cold Bo Stone had left with Ye Tian and Leng Bo Feng.
At this point, Cold Boyuan wasted no time and immediately rushed out of the Cold Family Garden towards the east. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart because although Ye Tian possessed Skyward Martial Arts, Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng did not; there was still a chance to intercept them before they entered the mountains.
He chased after them urgently, but under the bright daylight, there was no sign of anyone in sight.
"Once we enter the mountains, it will be too late for anything!" Cold Boyuan felt a chill in his heart. The Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range was vast and filled with dense forests, leaving no paths. The chances of finding the traces of the three of them would be almost zero. Moreover, he did not dare to leave the Cold Family recklessly, as all capable individuals from the Cold Family had already departed. If he left now, even without the Wang Family, several second-rate families could easily overpower him.
After about an hour of searching in vain, Cold Boyuan finally returned in despair. The Wang Family's scheme had plunged the Cold Family into unprecedented danger. The only hope he could rely on was the genius Ye Tian creating another miracle.
At the same time, Ye Tian, Cold Bo Stone, and Leng Bo Feng were traversing the rugged paths of the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range, with the mountain wind blowing and their clothes rustling.
"There's someone over there!" Cold Bo Stone pointed eastward, spotting several figures faintly visible on a distant mountaintop.
"Wang Tianba, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, Fan Fenglin," Leng Bo Feng observed closely and named them.
"Haha, what a coincidence to meet on this narrow path; it's a pity that Wang Weiyang is missing!"
Ye Tian exclaimed and let out a clear shout as he activated Yuqi Tayan Jue, heading straight for the mountaintop across from them.
The Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range was rarely visited by people and served as an excellent burial ground. What he needed to do was to eliminate House Head Wang here!
