Chapter 1763: Can This Still Be Saved?

~7 min read 1,248 words

This Xia Jie youth, as soon as he arrived, threatened Ye Zhangqing; the two Guo family members naturally wouldn't hold back.

Having offended Young Master Ye, you still want to have a good life?

After a bout of inhumane torture, this youth only kept nodding; Xiūliàn resources, other things—none mattered anymore, as long as he could preserve his life.

Seeing that it was about enough, the two Guo family members also intended to stop.

But just then, several more Guo family members arrived, just like the two, also coming to give Ye Zhangqing gifts.

Everyone thought to go there together, at least first to familiarize themselves with Ye Zhangqing so they could get meals later.

From afar they saw the situation here, and several people curiously stepped forward to ask.

"What are you doing?"

He glanced at the youth's miserable appearance, and upon speaking, this person slightly furrowed his brows—on Island 78, fighting is prohibited; how did it become so bloody?

Faced with this person's inquiry, the two didn't conceal anything, immediately recounting truthfully how the youth had threatened Ye Zhangqing.

Upon hearing this, the several people who had arrived later furrowed their brows; the faint sympathy that had flashed in their eyes instantly vanished.

Their expressions instantly turned cold, their icy gazes locking onto this youth.

Sensing a chill enveloping him, the youth, who had finally managed to catch a breath, immediately flashed a look of panic in his eyes and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"No.......... I just arrived, I didn't know................"

"You don't know? Perfect, today I'll come teach you the Guo family's rules."

Without letting the youth finish his words, the several Guo family members who had arrived later directly attacked.

Not knowing the rules is why he provoked Young Master Ye—perfect, since he doesn't even know the rules, I'll just teach him.

The youth, who had thought he'd already escaped disaster, hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath properly before being given a thorough 'education' by the several Guo family members who had arrived later.

Moreover, the ruthlessness of these several people's attacks surpassed that of the previous two Guo family members—it was over the top.

Outside the courtyard, miserable cries rang out continuously.

Finally, several people even worried about disturbing Ye Zhangqing, so they simply dragged the youth onto the beach.

This place is farthest from Ye Zhangqing's residence, and moreover, the several people set up a formation to block the youth's miserable cries.

However, this still wasn't anything; mainly, after arriving at the beach, passersby—Guo family members, even servants—seeing the scene, all came forward curiously to ask what had happened.

How did they end up making a person like this?

Originally, they had come forward with concern to ask what had happened, but upon learning that this guy had actually threatened Ye Zhangqing and even tried to seize Xiūliàn resources.

Now it's settled—those Guo family members who were originally curious also joined in.

In that moment, the youth felt he hadn't come to the Immortal Realm but had fallen into hell.

The Guo family's methods are simply inhumane.

On the other side, after settling the youth, Guo Ming went straight to find the Fifth Elder to report back.

Seeing Guo Ming approach, the Fifth Elder calmly said.

"We need to speed up a bit; the numbers are still too few."

The Fifth Elder was referring to Xia Jie people; so far, Guo Ming has only managed to find two Xia Jie people.

This is even after counting Ye Zhangqing, but Ye Zhangqing now has the protection of the three ancestors, so there's no need to go to the immortal realm.

Therefore, in reality, the number of Xia Jie people the Guo family has sent into the immortal realm is only one.

The numbers are too few, far from enough.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming nodded in response; afterwards, the Fifth Elder casually asked a question.

"By the way, where have you placed the Xia Jie person?"

"Island 78, right next to Ye Zhangqing."

"Huh???"

Originally, the Fifth Elder had just asked casually, but upon hearing Guo Ming's answer, the Fifth Elder's expression immediately changed, and his voice unconsciously rose several degrees as he said.

"You placed him on Island 78?"

"Yeah, wasn't that decided earlier?"

Island 78 was originally used to settle those Xia Jie cultivators; Guo Ming said doubtfully.

That's indeed the case, but that was before; now the situation on Island 78 has undergone some changes.

Who would have thought Ye Zhangqing's cooking would be this good? Now on Island 78, there isn't even enough room for the Guo family members to stand—how could we possibly arrange any Xia Jie people?

"Go place the person on Island 80."

"Huh???"

Island 78 definitely cannot accommodate any other Xia Jie people; the Fifth Elder thought for a moment and then said directly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming looked puzzled, but after hearing the Fifth Elder's words, he still nodded.

"And what about Ye Zhangqing? Should he also be placed on Island 80?"

"No, Young Master Ye will stay on Island 78; from now on, Island 78 will be inhabited solely by Young Master Ye."

"Huh???"

Guo Ming, who wasn't previously part of the family, was momentarily confused—this Fifth Elder suddenly started addressing Ye Zhangqing as Young Master Ye.

Moreover, he directly devoted the entire Island 78 to settling Ye Zhangqing alone.

Something seemed off, but since the Fifth Elder didn't offer an explanation and Guo Ming didn't dare ask further, he nodded, left the room, and hurried back to Island 78.

Originally, he hadn't thought much of it, but when Guo Ming returned to Island 78, he could see from afar that many clansmen had gathered on the shore.

At first he hadn't even seen that Xia Jie youth, but full of doubt he stepped forward to ask.

"Clansman, what's happened?"

Approaching a clansman he was relatively familiar with to ask, upon hearing, that clansman turned his head to glance at Guo Ming and asked.

"Guo Ming, is this Xia Jie person the one you brought?"

What kind of Xia Jie person?

Upon hearing that, Guo Ming suspiciously stretched his head to look, but in the next second he was completely stunned.

In the crowd, the Xia Jie youth he had just brought back lay limp and inhuman, clearly taking in more breath than letting out.

Seeing the Xia Jie youth's current state, Guo Ming hurriedly pushed through the crowd and said doubtfully.

What's wrong? How did this happen?

Guo Ming was responsible for Xia Jie people's affairs; seeing the person he had brought, who now looked deathly after such a short time, he naturally felt anxious.

Seeing Guo Ming's state, the surrounding Guo family members all spoke with unhappy faces.

Guo Ming, is this person the one you brought?

When you pick people, can't you be more selective? You're bringing just anyone into the clan.

Exactly, he doesn't know any rules, and as soon as he arrived he dared to offend Young Master Ye.

I say, just kill him outright—daring to offend Young Master Ye, keeping him is useless.

Huh???

Listening to the surrounding clan members' words, Guo Ming fed a pill to the Xia Jie youth, all the while bewildered.

What offense against Young Master Ye? What happened?

But for now, looking at this Xia Jie youth before him, it's truly miserable—this condition... can he still be saved? Will he still be able to enter the immortal realm?
