Chapter 161: A Hundred Zhuge Liangs
Not many people could make Ye Huan nervous, aside from Zhao Ziyu and his friends; the rest were family. To make matters more complicated, this person was a man. With this thought, two individuals immediately popped into Zuo Yi's mind: one was Ye Huan's father, Ninth Level Warrior Ye Tian, and the other was the only other expert in the Ye Family besides Ye Tian, Eighth-Level Warrior Ye Luo.
Before Ye Huan could speak, Zuo Yi continued, "Could it be that this person is your father, Ye Tian?"
Hearing Zuo Yi's words, a hint of a bitter smile appeared on Ye Huan's tense face. As a son, he wished more than anyone for Ye Tian to be present. After all, no matter how capable Ye Huan was, he was only twenty years old this year. In terms of experience and social knowledge, he was far behind Ye Tian. Moreover, if Ye Tian were around, Ye Huan wouldn't have to worry about Liu Ruyan and Ye Le's safety in the capital every day.
Seeing the bitter smile on Ye Huan's face and realizing that the person he referred to was not Ye Tian, Zuo Yi couldn't help but say, "Then it must be Ye Luo?"
This time, Ye Huan did not refute but gently nodded his head. His gaze turned toward the tent. To his surprise, the Military Doctor who had just entered not long ago came out accompanied by two members of Dragon Hall. This startled Ye Huan; he thought something had happened to Ye Luo and hurriedly approached the elderly man, respectfully asking, "Doctor, how is the person inside?"
"Forgive my incompetence," the Military Doctor said. "If I am not mistaken, he seems to have been sealed by someone using special means that restrict his ability to speak and move his limbs. It is beyond my capability to resolve."
After bowing slightly, the Military Doctor—assigned to those new recruits in Tianyue City—was well aware of Ye Huan's identity. His words were filled with respect, yet they left Ye Huan momentarily stunned as he failed to understand what special means the doctor referred to.
Beside him, Zuo Yi interjected after hearing the Military Doctor's statement: "Are you saying that he has been sealed by a Professional using special means?"
"Exactly," the Military Doctor replied. "When I inserted Silver Needles into several acupoints on him, I could clearly sense that within his limbs were several major meridians containing unique Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. It must have been done by a Professional without a doubt. Fortunately, his constitution is strong; otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, after being sealed for such a long time, their limbs would have likely become useless. Now you should hurry inside and see if you can find any other solutions! Otherwise, in three to five days, even the Great Immortal won't be able to save his body..."
Sighing, the Military Doctor dutifully shared everything he knew before slowly leaving with the two members of the Dragon Hall, leaving the questions to Ye Huan and Zuo Yi.
Watching the Military Doctor depart, Ye Huan didn't need to guess; it was undoubtedly those Eastern Ninjas who had confined Ye Luo's limbs. A fierce flame ignited within him, and he longed to destroy Eastern Japan Fusang right then and there. However, that was merely a thought—deep down, Ye Huan knew that Ye Luo was far more important.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Ye Huan turned and walked into the tent, slowly approaching Ye Luo's side.
Just like in the Underground Maze, all Ye Luo could do now was move his eyes after Ye Huan entered. His mouth and limbs were unable to utter a single word, resembling a living dead. If he weren't an Eighth-Level Warrior, the prolonged lack of food and water would have surely claimed his life.
Crouching down, Ye Huan gently grasped Ye Luo's rough palm. Seeing him in this state stirred a myriad of emotions within Ye Huan as memories flooded back.
In the past, aside from Liu Ruyan and Ye Tian, Ye Luo had undoubtedly been the one who watched over Ye Huan as he grew up. The bond of kinship was something Ye Huan could never forget, especially considering that during their battle against the Mysterious Old Man in Northern Liang City, Ye Luo had chosen to fight alongside Ye Tian to ensure that Ye Huan could escape.
"Ye Butler, Uncle Ye, don't worry. I will find a way to save you!"
Pulling himself out of his memories, Ye Huan felt his eyes redden. Yet as a man, he held back his tears and spoke resolutely. Afterward, he attempted to gather the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from his Dantian, carefully channeling it into Ye Luo's body. The process was painstakingly slow; he feared that Ye Luo's already weakened body might not withstand his powerful energy.
Once the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy entered Ye Luo's body and formed a force capable of assessing his internal condition, Ye Huan stopped inputting more energy and cautiously guided it through Ye Luo's system.
As the Military Doctor had said, there was indeed a significant amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within Ye Luo's limbs—almost solid in nature. It rivaled even the Golden Core in Ye Huan's Dantian. With such an abundance of energy, it was clear that not only could Ye Luo not move his limbs; even someone as strong as Ye Huan had very little Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy left in his body aside from what was contained in his Dantian. This scarcity was due to the fragility of human meridians and blood vessels; any misstep could lead to rupture from excessive pressure. The fact that he had survived this long without perishing was nothing short of a miracle.
Yet this wasn't the most troubling part for Ye Huan. What truly gave him a headache was that even if he managed to draw out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from Ye Luo’s body, no one could predict what impact it might have on Tianyue City. After all, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the air around Tianyue City was finite—just like water elements. A slight increase could lead to heavy rain and flooding; a decrease could result in droughts and unbearable heat. And this was Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy we were talking about—the destructive power of a Ninth-Level Expert self-destructing with it was no small matter. Considering that the total amount within Ye Luo exceeded that of several Ninth-Level Warriors combined made it even more concerning.
Understanding the situation within Ye Luo’s body only fueled Ye Huan's hatred for those Eastern Japan Fusang ninjas further. At the same time, a question arose in his mind: how had Ye Luo fallen into their hands?
Suppressing the urge to dwell on the issue, Ye Huan steadied himself and began to think about how to resolve the problem of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within Ye Luo. Otherwise, Ye Luo was essentially a ticking time bomb. If an explosion occurred, the consequences would be far from what Ye Huan was willing to accept.
The more he pondered, the more cautious Ye Huan became. He dared not act rashly without a plan. Instead, he instructed Zuo Yi to gather the three hundred members of Dragon Hall, hoping to hear their opinions. After all, there is a saying that three heads are better than one. With three hundred members of Dragon Hall, all professionals in their own right, it was like having a hundred strategists at his disposal.
