After a brief exchange with his father, Ye Honglin, Ye Feng couldn't wait to rush towards the Ye Family. Along the way, they occasionally encountered scouts from the Ye Family, whom Ye Honglin brought back with him.
After all, the Ning Family had launched a large-scale attack, and there was no need to leave scouts outside anymore.
A group of more than ten people swiftly flew across the rooftops of East Street. Before long, Ye Feng finally saw the Ye Family Courtyard.
Due to the sudden assault by the Ning Family, the courtyard's walls had undergone simple modifications; their height and thickness were now nearly comparable to those of Silvermoon City.
As Ye Feng looked closely from the air, he noticed that the walls were densely packed with Ye Family members and guards. Moreover, each wall had Siege Crossbows set up on top.
Ye Feng was familiar with these massive crossbows used for city defense. He had nearly been injured by one during his solo venture into Ximen.
The crossbows were about ten meters long and operated by five martial artists at or above the fifth level of Martial Realm. The bolts were made of high-quality steel and were launched with incredible speed and precision. Even an ordinary expert at Origin Martial Realm would not dare to take them head-on and could only rely on Martial Techniques to evade.
However, what intrigued Ye Feng more than the crossbows were the Black Barrels placed beside them. There were over a dozen of these cylindrical containers on each wall, but their purpose was unclear.
“Dad, what are those barrels for? If they're meant to crush people, it would be more effective to use boulders!” Ye Feng asked in surprise.
“You'll find out soon enough. Let's hurry back to the Ning Family and help Grandpa with his injuries!” Ye Honglin glanced in the direction Ye Feng pointed and leaped into the Ye Family Courtyard ahead of him.
“Who goes there!” Just as Ye Honglin jumped, the guards on the wall spotted him instantly. In no time, the crossbows on the wall were aimed at him with great speed.
“Fools! I am Ye Honglin! The clan leader is injured! Quickly prepare a stretcher and healing medicine, and summon all the doctors from the Ye Family!” Ye Honglin shouted loudly. The guards operating the crossbows were specifically chosen for their excellent eyesight, so they quickly recognized Ye Honglin and saw that he was carrying the clan leader, Ye Zhentian, on his back.
“The young clan leader and clan leader have returned! Quickly welcome them!” someone shouted loudly, and soon a prepared stretcher was brought out.
The call from the guards quickly spread throughout the entire Ye Family. By the time Ye Feng and others followed his father onto the wall, several core elders of the Ye Family had already rushed over.
"Father, has Third Brother and Zhan Er been rescued?" Ye Hongjian stepped forward from the crowd, being the only precious son, he was the most anxious in the entire Ye Family.
"Hmph, how can you still mention that beast? Can't you see how Father is doing?" Ye Honglin coldly glanced at his elder brother while helping Ye Zhentian onto a stretcher.
Several doctors from the Ye Family immediately rushed forward to check his pulse and administer medicine, while Ye Hongjian and Ye Honghai finally noticed the severity of Ye Zhentian's injuries.
"Could it be that Father was injured while trying to save Zhan Er? But why hasn't Zhan Er returned? Instead, your son Ye Feng was rescued!" Ye Hongjian quickly realized Ye Feng's presence, and while shocked, he also began to notice the change in Ye Honglin's expression.
The second brother, Ye Honghai, soon detected something unusual. After all, Third Brother and the head of the family had gone to rescue Ye Zhan; why had only Ye Feng returned?
Everyone's attention was focused on the injured Ye Zhentian, but Ye Honghai quietly pulled his elder brother Ye Hongjian aside.
"Elder Brother, something feels off. It's true that Father is injured, but Zhan Er hasn't returned. Instead, it's that little beast from Third Brother's family. Did you notice Third Brother's reaction just now? He seems very displeased with Zhan Er!" Ye Honghai whispered with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, Ye Hongjian was burning with anger inside, but with everyone trying to save Ye Zhentian, he couldn't inquire about his son's situation. Hearing what Ye Honghai said made him think of other possibilities.
"Second Brother, what do you mean?" Ye Hongjian frowned and asked.
"Elder Brother, it's simple. Father and Third Brother did go to rescue someone, but besides Zhan Er, they were also trapped by the Ning Family along with that brat Ye Feng. I suspect that Father was held back by Ning Zhiyuan at that time, which is why Third Brother came to rescue them. However, given the urgency of the situation, even Third Brother could only take one person. Think about it: one is his own son and the other is your brother's son. Who do you think Third Brother would save?" Ye Honghai said quietly.
"That's right!" Ye Hongjian's expression changed drastically as he spoke harshly, "Second Brother, what you said makes a lot of sense. The situation must have been like that; otherwise, how could that brat Ye Feng return with Third Brother? Third Brother! Your son is a member of the Ye Family; is my son not a member of the Ye Family as well?"
"Elder Brother, you've always wanted to take Third Brother's inheritance rights. Third Brother probably harbors resentment towards you. Whether he could save Zhan Er at that time is really hard to say. It's possible that he could have saved both Zhan Er and Ye Feng but chose not to because of you. I suspect he will find an excuse later to blame Zhan Er for this to shirk responsibility!" Ye Honghai said indignantly.
Hearing what Ye Honghai said made Ye Hongjian furious immediately; however, this was not the time to confront Third Brother since Ye Zhentian's condition was critical. He could only wait patiently.
At that moment, a wave of sobs emerged from the crowd surrounding Ye Zhentian. Ye Honglin seemed to be whispering something, and many clan members unintentionally focused their attention on Ye Hongjian.
Ye Feng's thoughts were entirely on his grandfather. Since childhood, Ye Zhentian had shown him special affection. Even when he was just a useless person with severed meridians, under Ye Zhentian's care, the clan members of the Ye Family often bullied him but never dared to truly harm him. It wasn't until he went to Dragon Tiger Sect alone that Ye Jin dared to use tricks against him.
"The old man has been poisoned in a very strange way. I have practiced medicine for over eighty years and have never seen such a potent poison!"
"That brat Ye Zhan has defected to the Ning Family; the poison on his dagger must have been provided by someone from the Ning Family. The Ning Family is currently collaborating with the Imperial Family of the Capital. With the Royal Family's power, what kind of strange poison can't they obtain?"
"That ungrateful bastard Ye Zhan, who betrays his master and annihilates his ancestors! If I ever catch him, I will definitely chop off his head and use it as a urinal!"
In front of everyone, Ye Honglin briefly explained what had happened at Silver Moon Square. Upon hearing about Ye Zhan's betrayal, all the clan members of the Ye Family were filled with hatred for him. Some impulsive clan members had already rushed towards the direction of the Ning Family with weapons in hand.
Ye Honglin quickly stopped these individuals and was about to say something when Ye Feng suddenly spoke up.
"Father, esteemed Uncles, I have learned some medical skills at Dragon Tiger Sect; why not let me give it a try!" Ye Feng knew that he could not wait any longer; he had to attempt to use his spiritual energy to help his grandfather heal.
All the clan members were taken aback. Those elders of the Ye Family who had studied medicine their entire lives wore expressions of anger; Ye Feng's words were nothing short of an insult to them.
Ye Honglin glanced at Ye Feng and after a long pause finally said, "Carry the head of the family to Head of the Family Manor. There is no other way now; let Feng Er give it a try!"
"This is the head of our family! How can we let him recklessly experiment? I can use some life-sustaining medicine; it should be able to keep his life for a while!" An elderly man with graying hair quickly rejected Ye Honglin's suggestion.
"Keep him alive for a while, and then what? Let my father wait for death? Since you can't save him, what harm is there in letting Feng Er try?" Fourth Brother Ye Hongyan snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at the elder.
The elder wanted to argue further, but Ye Honglin waved his hand and said firmly, "After all, I am still the heir to the head of the Ye Family. Now that the head of the family is gravely injured, everyone in the Ye Family must obey my orders!"
As soon as Ye Honglin spoke, no one had any objections. Ye Zhentian was quickly sent back to the master bedroom, with Ye Feng closely following.
On the other side, Ye Hongjian and Ye Honghai looked extremely grim. They watched helplessly as Ye Honglin took control of the entire Ye Family, unable to do anything about it. Moreover, their son had been labeled a traitor by Ye Honglin, and it seemed that the entire Ye Family had already begun to harbor resentment against them.
"Ye Honglin really knows how to play this game!" Ye Hongjian gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, making cracking sounds. In his view, Third Brother Ye Honglin was clearly framing someone.
"I suspected Third Brother would find an excuse not to save Zhan Er!" Ye Honghai said with a dark expression. "But I never expected him to directly slander Zhan Er as a traitor who betrays his teacher and ancestors. Brother, if Third Brother dares to do such a despicable thing to Zhan Er, he definitely won't spare us once he gains power. We need to make other plans now!"
Ye Hongjian sneered as he glanced at Ye Honglin, who was continuously issuing various orders. He said fiercely, "Second Brother, return to the residence with me and gather our trusted allies. We must seize this opportunity to fight back!"
…………
In the master bedroom, Ye Feng dismissed everyone and sat cross-legged, placing his hands on Ye Zhentian's back.
Ye Feng spared no effort in channeling the spiritual energy from his Dantian, sending it entirely into Ye Zhentian's body through his palms.
Due to the strange poison on the dagger, the originally milky white Vital Energy within Ye Zhentian had turned black and gray. Fortunately, this poisoned Vital Energy was stagnant in the Meridian and had not flowed into the Dantian.
Thanks to Ye Honglin's timely intervention in sealing all of Ye Zhentian's acupoints, otherwise, if the poison had entered his heart veins and Dantian, even a deity would be powerless to save him.
Ye Feng struggled to mobilize his spiritual energy, first allocating part of it to protect the heart veins and Dantian while launching repeated attacks on the poisonous Vital Energy throughout the Meridian.
Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, Ye Feng would operate the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique for a while. When his spiritual energy recovered, he would again mobilize it to cleanse the toxins from within Ye Zhentian's body.
If it weren't for the significant enhancement of his spiritual energy from the mysterious coffin in the Silver Moon Secret Realm earlier, which greatly increased the speed at which he could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy using the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, this time Ye Zhentian would likely have faced certain doom.
An hour later, most of the toxins in Ye Zhentian's body were finally expelled by Ye Feng, and his stern expression relaxed significantly.
At that moment, a rumbling sound erupted outside the Head of the Family Manor, accompanied by various shouts and screams. In the Ye Family Courtyard, groups of people were rapidly mobilizing along the paths.
"The Ning Family has finally started their attack!" A fierce look flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. "Alright, Grandpa is no longer in serious danger. My spiritual energy has also recovered significantly. After resting for a while, Grandpa will return to his former state. It's time for me to leave this place and head to the front lines of the Ye Family to contribute to protecting our family!"
As soon as Ye Feng pushed open the bedroom door, several elderly members of the Ye Family rushed in from outside.
"This is ridiculous! How can a young boy treat the old master? Even if he is a grandson, this is unacceptable!"
"Yes, I don't know what Honglin was thinking. I hope the old master still has some breath left to arrange his affairs!"
"Ah, come quickly! The old master's poison seems to have been mostly expelled and he is not in serious danger!"
"Impossible! You must have misdiagnosed him. Let me take a look..."
Exclamations of surprise echoed from the bedroom. Ye Feng chuckled lightly, unconcerned, and directly left the room. As he reached the entrance of the Head of the Family Manor, he ran into Chen Xiaobing, who had a face full of sorrow.
