912: Chapter 908: Ye Tian’s Questioning 912: Chapter 908: Ye Tian’s Questioning The entrance was the only way to leave the Tianshan Mountains, and Wang Cai heading toward that place was naturally because he wanted to leave this area…
All the martial artists watched Wang Cai’s departing silhouette with mixed expressions!
Such a domineering martial artist had appeared before them, and without even fighting, he merely retrieved the corpse of Young Master Long and departed!
Wang Cai’s actions left everyone dumbfounded, yet no one dared to ask about his intentions.
Why did he come?
Where was he planning to take Young Master Long’s corpse?
Countless questions lingered in the minds of the martial artists, but no one dared to voice them because Wang Cai’s strength was enough to terrify everyone.
Better to avoid trouble than invite it—who would be foolish enough to question Wang Cai about something so inexplicable?
However, there was someone bold enough to ask questions!
“Wang Cai, please wait a moment!”
The voice came from Ye Tian.
His calm words halted Wang Cai’s steps.
“What do you want?”
Wang Cai asked coldly, his face devoid of any expression.
Ye Tian did not concern himself with Wang Cai’s mood and asked directly, “Young Master Long was mistakenly killed by the Purgatory Beast.
However, it was me who defeated the Purgatory Beast, causing it to go berserk!
Which means, I indirectly caused the death of Young Master Long.
So why, as Young Master Long’s bodyguard, have you not killed me to avenge him?”
Ye Tian’s boldness was undeniable!
The martial artists around Ye Tian were all trembling with fear…
Ye Tian, what are you even saying?
Isn’t this clearly provoking Wang Cai, the monster?
If Wang Cai decided to massacre them here, what would happen then?
Fortunately, Ye Tian’s words did not anger Wang Cai, who remained unusually calm.
Wang Cai replied indifferently, “Because Young Master did not order me to avenge him!”
“What?”
Wang Cai’s response left Ye Tian utterly shocked.
The reason Wang Cai hadn’t attacked him was purely because Young Master Long hadn’t given him such an order.
But Young Master Long was already dead—how could he possibly give any commands?
“What do you mean?
Wang Cai, are you saying that aside from Young Master Long’s orders, you won’t obey anyone else’s commands?”
Ye Tian asked again, and this time, Wang Cai seemed surprisingly patient with him.
“Yes!
I exist solely for Young Master.
His orders are absolute to me!
Hence, when Young Master commanded me to kill you all, I searched for you everywhere.
However, I miscalculated, didn’t expect you to reach the Tianshan Mountains—it was entirely unforeseen.
Now that Young Master has been mistakenly killed by the Purgatory Beast, my life no longer has any purpose!”
Wang Cai spoke dejectedly, and Ye Tian felt a chill listening to him.
“Wang Cai, you are a peerless warrior, and there are few people in this world who can defeat you!
Why would you continue being a lackey to Young Master Long?
Now that he’s dead, there’s no need for you to remain under his command.
You could establish your own path and achieve glory—it wouldn’t be difficult for someone like you!”
Ye Tian tried persuading Wang Cai, but his words seemed to hold no appeal for him at all.
“I, Wang Cai, lived as Young Master’s man and will die as Young Master’s dog.
How could I betray him?
Not only me—my family is the same!
Now that Young Master is dead, my life has lost all meaning.
That’s why I’m merely here to take Young Master’s corpse.
Once I bring his remains home, I will choose death!
After all, Young Master’s death is partly my responsibility, and I must atone for it with my own life!”
Wang Cai declared resolutely, and the martial artists collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The figure before them was immensely powerful.
If he became enemies with all the martial artists here, none of them would likely survive!
Yet this formidable martial artist was focused only on retrieving Young Master Long’s body.
As long as that was the case, everyone present would be safe…
Nonetheless, Ye Tian wasn’t feeling relieved; instead, he felt a deep sense of pity.
“A warrior like you, who has trained to such an incredible level, why would you speak so lightly of life and death?
Wang Cai, I don’t understand—what drives your unwavering loyalty to the Long family?”
Despite Ye Tian’s earnest words, they had no impact on Wang Cai.
“Someone like me, a martial artist, is no different from a grain of sand in a riverbed in this world.
Ye Tian, you won’t understand, and there’s no need for you to understand!
Since my life was bestowed by Young Master, his death has stripped my life of any meaning.
Living or dying—it’s all the same to me.”
“…”
Wang Cai’s reply left Ye Tian completely silent, unable to respond, merely standing there in quiet contemplation.
Watching Wang Cai carry Young Master Long’s corpse farther and farther away, Ye Tian suddenly thought of something crucial and asked aloud, “Wang Cai, with Young Master Long’s death, his family will surely place the blame on me.
How is his family likely to deal with me?”
“I don’t know.”
Wang Cai’s response was simple and blunt, but it was entirely unhelpful.
Ye Tian pressed on, “What kind of family is the Long family?
Are they perhaps the rulers of this world?”
“I don’t know.”
Wang Cai’s reply remained the same, leaving Ye Tian flustered.
Given that Wang Cai was Young Master Long’s bodyguard, surely he was familiar with the Long family.
Yet he claimed not to know.
Moreover, from Wang Cai’s tone, Ye Tian couldn’t detect any trace of deception…
Could it be that Wang Cai truly knew nothing about the Long family?
If so, that would be incredibly peculiar.
Ye Tian’s mind swirled with endless doubts.
He wanted to continue questioning Wang Cai, but before he realized it, Wang Cai had already disappeared into the distance…
“That monster!
He’s finally gone!”
“If he had truly fought us, none of us would have made it out alive!”
“Back when the Sect Leader was alive, he warned us repeatedly that this person is terrifyingly powerful, even he was no match for him.
Seeing his warning proved justified!”
…
Though they hadn’t fought Wang Cai directly, the Inner Sect Disciples of Tian Sect all felt as though they’d narrowly escaped death.
But Ye Tian’s expression showed disappointment.
Even though he didn’t stand a chance against Wang Cai now, seeing him leave meant he might never have the opportunity to face him again…
A strong warrior like Wang Cai, pledging his life solely to the Long family and disregarding his own existence, left Ye Tian feeling deeply conflicted…
When he first fought Wang Cai, he suffered defeat.
Now, it seemed he’d lost the chance for revenge altogether…
“Boss, are you okay?
Why did you say so much to that monster?”
Ye Xuong walked up to Ye Tian and asked with concern.
For someone as powerful as Wang Cai, conversing with him was like courting danger.
For the group, recovering and resting was far more important than stirring up trouble.
“I don’t know why I acted that way.
Perhaps, as a fellow martial artist, I simply feel pity for him.”
Ye Tian sighed as he spoke.
As fellow warriors, Ye Tian’s future seemed boundless, but Wang Cai’s life was vastly different.
Despite his strength, his future was bleak and without hope.
Ye Tian couldn’t understand why Wang Cai’s views of the world differed so greatly from his own…
Ye Zhihuan approached Ye Tian and said, “Kid, that monster is dangerous, and so is the Long family.
However, after Wang Cai delivers Young Master Long’s corpse to them, the Long family’s response will take some time.
During this period, the most important thing for us is to recover and rest.
So please stop concerning yourself with other matters.
Focus on healing and recuperating—that’s the wisest choice right now!”
As the Clan Leader of the Ye family, Ye Zhihuan’s words were calm and reasonable!
Ye Tian gave a bitter smile and said, “I suppose there’s no other option now.”
Given Young Master Long’s attitude and behavior, his family was likely to be no different…
Although Ye Tian wasn’t directly responsible for his death, he was indirectly involved.
The Long family would certainly hold him accountable!
This meant the Long family’s retaliation against him was only a matter of time…
But Ye Tian, despite having defeated powerful warriors like Sima Yun and Yu Xiao, didn’t feel confident against someone like Wang Cai!
For Ye Tian, the priority was to rest, recover, and grow stronger.
Only then could he protect himself and those closest to him!
“Everyone is exhausted, so let’s head to Biyao Palace to rest.
After everything that has happened today—whether joyful or tragic—we all need proper healing and recuperation!”
Ye Tian spoke confidently, and the group of martial artists followed his lead and headed toward Tian Sect’s Biyao Palace.
The nearby valley, scarred and ruined from the series of battles, was unrecognizable.
Fortunately, Biyao Palace was located behind the valley, and despite the devastation, the palace remained unharmed…
Biyao Palace was vast, comparable to an imperial palace in grandeur, with enough rooms to accommodate hundreds of people!
“Ye Tian, let us, the disciples of Tian Sect, extend our hospitality.
You can rest assured and recover at Biyao Palace!”
Daichong said generously, leading Ye Tian and the others into the palace.
