With a light strike, the black armor was chopped in half. The cut on the black armor was as smooth as a knife cutting through tofu.

“This is a spirit artifact sword?” Ye Zhantian finally reacted in surprise. He closed his eyes and felt the energy on the sword and said deeply emotionally, “This is a Tier One spirit artifact! In the past, I’ve only seen an extremely sharp Tier One Spirit Artifact Rank sword in an auction house. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to take out all the money that Ye Castle had.”

Immediately, Ye Zhantian noticed the fifty or so weapons and armor, and carefully identified each one.

“A Tier One spirit artifact!”

“This is also a Tier One spirit artifact!”

“This too!” Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian felt like they were suffocating. Their hearts kept rising and falling.

A group of clansmen gathered and exclaimed in admiration. These fifty or so items were Tier One spirit artifacts! It was the first time many of them had even seen a Tier One Spirit Artifact Rank weapon or armor.

Spirit artifacts were extremely rare in a remote and small place like Donglin County. At Ye Zhantian’s age, he had only seen one before, and he only knew how to identify a spirit artifact from the Book of Knowledge. When the Ye Clan was at its peak in the past, they only had around five or six Tier One and Tier Two spirit artifacts but those artifacts were lost and were never passed down. The lowest grade of Tier One spirit artifacts could be sold for tens of thousands of Chi-amassing Pills in auction houses and higher quality artifacts might even sell for hundreds of thousands of Chi-amassing Pills. Even the Earthly Venerable Rank elders of the Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect only had two to three Tier One spirit artifacts. It was clear how precious spirit artifacts were. However, Ye Chen suddenly got his hands on more than fifty such artifacts!

If a Ninth Level combatant wore a Tier One Spirit Artifact Rank armor and held a Tier One Spirit Artifact Rank weapon, he would be able to directly confront a Tenth Level combatant! These weapons and armor would be extremely useful in the future!

These weapons and armor were useless to Ye Chen. As for the Black Pearl and the Hell Rupture Sword, Ye Chen would keep them for himself.

There was still a large amount of silver and gold in the space in the armguard. Ye Chen took out a portion to let the clansmen use to purchase supplies.

Although Liu Xun sent the letter in collusion with the barbarians, Ye Chen did not feel completely at ease. He needed to settle the clansmen within three days first!

Knowing that Liu Xun was colluding with the Nanman Kingdom caused some worries in Ye Chen’s heart. If the Nanman Kingdom knew that the Ye Clan had killed Liu Xun and destroyed their plans, they might cause trouble for the Ye Clan in the future. In front of that huge county, the House of Ye was too tiny. It would be crushed into powder easily. It was said that the strongest person in the Nanman Kingdom was a Mystique Venerable Rank combatant and there were also several Heavenly Venerable Rank combatants. They were much stronger than the Xiwu Empire.

Ye Chen had an intense desire to get stronger. He needed to strengthen the Ye Clan, otherwise, they would not be able to fight against those counties and sects. A wish slowly emerged in his heart. He would make the Ye Clan tower over the entire continent of combatants!

Three days later, Little Tanuki had returned to Donglin County with three mystical beasts. The food had finished distributing to millions of civilians. It was no problem to give them fifty kilograms of food for them to eat for a month or two. The Ye Clan had already prepared enough supplies and other things, and quietly moved into the depths of the Lianyun Mountains.

Later, when someone had passed by Ye Castle, they were surprised to find that the huge martial arts family had disappeared into thin air and were nowhere to be found. Soon, rumors spread everywhere. Some said that the Ye Clan had moved out of the Xiwu Empire, some said that they had been exterminated, and some said that they hid in the Lianyun Mountains, only to be besieged by mystical beasts and become food for them. In the end, no one knew where the Ye Clan had gone. It became a mystery.

The Ye Clan passed through vast and remote mountains and forests, through narrow paths, and finally entered the valley. The valley was truly a paradise with a radius of a few miles. It was very open with grasslands and forests. There was even a small lake with clear water and a lot of fish in it. Although there were a few rotting mystical beast corpses left on the ground, it would be no problem to take care of them.

Ye Chen stationed a few mystical beasts like the Zephyr White Ape at the exit of the valley and made a den for them to prevent others from coming near and finding the valley.

“This place is great!” Ye Zhantian and the others were very excited. A hidden place like this would generally remain undiscovered. Furthermore, they could cultivate fields and fish. There would be no problem for the clansmen to live in the valley. The Celestial Chi here was also rich, so the cultivation speed would be much faster than the outside.

“Father, I have an idea,” Ye Chen said after thinking.

“What idea?” Ye Zhantian and the others looked at Ye Chen.

“Let Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Fifth Uncle go outside and gather some talented orphans and bring them here. We’ll teach them martial arts techniques and let them become members of the Ye Clan,” Ye Chen said. Now, the Ye Clan had a lot of money and could afford food and Chi-amassing Pills. The Ye Clan was still too small and needed to be strengthened. Only when men of talent come out in succession would they become a true martial arts family!

Ye Zhantian and Ye Changxuan did not expect Ye Chen to put forward such a proposal and were quite surprised. After some discussion, they agreed that this method was feasible.

“It seems like our Ye Clan should expand out roots more.” Ye Zhantian smiled. In the past, the clan was not very wealthy and did not dare to raise too many children. However, they did not have to worry about that problem now. With just the silver, gold, and pills that Ye Chen had provided, it was enough to develop the Ye Clan for a long time.

The Ye Clan began to choose suitable places to build houses, otherwise, they would be in trouble during rainy days. The wood needed to build the houses would have to be cut from outside but before the clansmen left the valley, the Zephyr White Ape had already carried a large number of giant trees inside. It would take at least two people to hold each tree but they were uprooted by the Zephyr White Ape itself. The scene stunned the Ye Clan. A top Tenth Level mystical beast was indeed extremely powerful. The strength of a Tenth Level mystical beast left their hearts and minds at peace.

It was a busy scene in the valley but everyone was full of hope. The only worry was Ye Zhanlong, Ye Meng, and the others. Although the poison in their bodies had been suppressed, it was extremely difficult to completely cure them. Fortunately, they could use medicine to maintain their health for two to three years.

Ye Chen thought of alchemy. Only by learning alchemy would he find a way to cure Second Uncle, Ye Meng, and the others. He had books on alchemy as well as a refining furnace, so the only thing that was missing was a teacher that could teach him the basics. It seemed that he could only learn by himself. As for going to the Capital City to visit the Master Apothecary Xuanyi, Ye Chen temporarily put that idea aside. He did not know if the Great Emperor Mingwu would cause trouble for him!
