Aftermath

At the summit of a mountain, a blue spatial door appeared, and the supreme elders of the Celestial Mountain sect, Ye Goa, the survivors of the Ye clan, the remaining disciples of the Celestial Mountain sect, and the ancestor of the Celestial Mountain sect emerged from the door.

The ancestor looked at Ye Goa. He sighed to himself, and then he said to Ye Goa, "Ye Goa, after you finish settling your clansmen in the sect, go and find Jiahao. You, me, and Jiahao had a lot to discuss."

Ye Goa nodded his head toward the ancestor and said, "Alright."

After hearing Ye Goa's response, the Celestial Mountain sect ancestor created another spatial door and left the area, along with the supreme elders and the sect disciples.

Ye Goa then turned his head towards his remaining clansmen. Two of his daughters threw themselves into his embrace, and they started crying loudly. When the remaining clansmen heard Ye Goa's daughters crying, they started crying too.

Ye Goa sighed and said to his clansmen, "We can't change what happened in the past, but what we can do is change the future. The sect ancestor was very generous to us, allowing us to join the sect, but you all will need to start from the bottom. As servant disciples, you will need to cultivate and work hard in order to advance your ranking in the sect."

Ye Goa then noticed something different with Ye Long. A beam of bright light shot out of Ye Goa's eyes and hit Ye Long. All of the remaining members of the Ye clan were shocked by Ye Goa's actions.

One of his daughters freaked out. "Father, what are you doing to first brother?" Ye Goa smiled at his daughter and said, "Relax, Ai, I will never hurt your first brother." Ai nodded her head when she heard what Ye Goa said, and she sighed in relief. 

Ye Goa narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened, Long? Your saint weapon broke?"

Ye Long sighed and told his father about his encounter with Ye Qian and how he sliced through his saint weapon.

Ye Goa clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this: "Ye Qian, next time I will kill you myself, just you wait."

Ye Goa's other daughter then asked, "Father, what about Feng'er? Is he going to be alright?"

Ye Goa smiled at his daughter and said, "Don't worry about Feng'er An. I have my own plans concerning him. You all need to advance your cultivation and work hard. Now follow me. I will take you to the servant disciple quarters."

All the remaining Ye clan members nodded and followed Ye Goa as he walked towards the servants' disciples' quarters.

After Ye Goa settled his clansmen in the servant disciple quarters, he went to meet the sect master Jiahao and the sect ancestor in the sect master office.

Ye Goa knocked on the door of the sect master office, "enter" after hearing the permission to enter. Ye Goa entered the sect's master office.

When Ye Goa entered the sect master's office, he noticed the ancestor sitting in one of the empty chairs, along with the sect master himself. They were both waiting for his arrival.

The sect master has long brown hair, brown eyes, and a fair complexion. He was wearing a golden robe that represented his position as the sect master of the Celestial Mountain sect.

When the sect master saw Ye Goa, he smiled and stood up. "Ye Goa, good to see you, my friend, after such a long time." Then his smile dropped. "The ancestor told me what happened. I am sorry for your loss. Mark my word. Ye Goa, the Devil Claw sect will pay dearly for what they did. I promise you that."

Ye Goa smiled sadly at the sect master and said, "Thank you, sect master." He then sat in one of the empty chairs.

The sect ancestor looked at Ye Goa and asked him, "Did you settle your clan in the sect, Ye Goa?"

Ye Goa sighed, clenched his fist, and nodded to the ancestor. "Yes, ancestor, but my eldest son's saint weapon broke in the war with the Devil Claws sect." 

Both the sect master and the ancestor widened their eyes in shock upon hearing this, with the sect master stating, "This presents a problem." We need to find a 7th-rank radiant saint master in order for us to restore his saint weapon. We have only one option: contact the Radiant Saint Master's Union. The union may not agree to our request because of how rare 7th rank radiant saint masters are."

"Not necessarily; they owe our sect a huge favor because we lent them a hand years ago, but now the union is in dire state because many of the 7th rank radiant saint masters have started joining the Zaar clan, the Kara clan, and the Kazda clan." However, we don't have to worry about them; we can pressure those clans to send a 7th rank radiant saint master here to heal Ye Goa son," the ancestor said while shaking his head.

Upon hearing the ancestor's words, Ye Goa sighed with relief. The ancestor then continued, "However, the news that we went to war against the Devil Claw sect will spread to all of the Tian Yuan continent soon, and Tian Jian will pay us a visit as soon as he hears the news."

Both Ye Goa and the sect master nodded in understanding, and the ancestor then said to the sect master, "Jiahao, inform An, Tu, En, and Hima to be ready when Tian Jian pays us a visit; he will want to hear the details of what happened when we went to war against the Devil Claw sect, and Ye Goa, I want you to be present too."

Ye Goa nodded. "Understood, I will be leaving for a bit to finish an important business, and I will come back as soon as I finish my business," Ye Goa said to the ancestor.

When they heard what he said, both the sect master and the ancestor nodded to Ye Goa. Ye Goa then created a spatial door and left the sect master office.

Azure Dragon Academy

The academy headmaster was doing some paper work, but all of a sudden a spatial door appeared in front of him, and he became very alert when he saw it. He was surprised when he saw Ye Goa walk out of the spatial door.

Ye Goa smiled at his friend and said, "Long time, no see Chen."

The academy headmaster stood up in shock and said, "Ye Goa, you are alive. That is fantastic."

When he heard this, Ye Goa's eyes darkened, and he said, "So the news of the destruction of Ye clan reached you."

The academy headmaster sighed and nodded. "Yes, the news of the Ye clan's destruction had spread throughout the Hidden Dragon Kingdom." The state of affairs in the Hidden Dragon Kingdom is currently chaotic. The Zhang clan has betrayed the kingdom and joined Andrea's kingdom."

Ye Goa was shocked at what he just heard, but Chen continued, "War is on the horizon." Ye Goa, the hidden dragon kingdom needs you if they want to survive this war."

Ye Goa narrowed his eyes and sighed helplessly. "I will try my best, but I am not sure if I will be able to help." I rejoined the Celestial Mountain sect, and I am now one of their supreme elders. "I came to you today to give you this space ring."

Ye Goa handed a blue colour space ring to Chen and said to him, "Chen, give this space ring to Feng'er and also do me this favor. Chen, please help Ye Feng leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom."

The academy headmaster looked at Ye Goa for a moment, then nodded his head at him and said, "Fine, I will help him leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom."

Ye Goa smiled gratefully at the academy headmaster; he created a spatial door and left without a trace.

With Ye Feng

Ye Feng is currently training his swordsmanship on the isolated training ground closest to his dwelling. He had mastered all the sword arts in the Azure Heart Sutra Sword Arts, and now he was deep in thought while gazing at his saint weapon.

"Can I combine all five sword arts into one to create a new sword art?" Ye Feng gave a bright smile when he came up with this idea and decided to try to combine all five sword arts into one.

Suddenly, Ye Feng noticed Fu had entered the training ground, smiled at him, and said, "Hey Fu, what sap?"

Fu smiled and nodded his head at Ye Feng, and then he said to Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, my teacher asked me to bring you to him."

Ye Feng nodded his head. He stored his saint weapon back to his Dantian, then he and Fu went to meet the Azure Academy headmaster at his office.

In The Academy Headmaster Office

Ye Feng and Fu stood in front of the academy headmaster. The headmaster looked at Ye Feng and gave a helpless sigh. "Ye Feng, I will be honest with you. What I am about to tell you will be hard for you to believe."

Fu and Ye Feng raised their eyebrows in confusion when they heard what the headmaster just said. Chen then continued, "Ye Feng, your father asked to help you leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom and gave me this space ring to give you."

Chen gave Ye Feng the blue space ring that Ye Goa gave him, and he handed it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was surprised, but he took the space ring and stored it in his space belt. Then he looked questionably at Chen and asked him, "Headmaster, why does my father want me to leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom, and why did he ask you to give me the space ring?"

Chen sighed, looked seriously at Ye Feng, and said, "Ye Feng, I will be honest with you. What I am about to tell you is going to be very hard on you, and right now you don't stand a chance against them."

Chen continued, "Your father wants you to leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom because the Devil Claw sect destroyed the Ye clan, and they might target you if you stay here." 

Ye Feng and Fu's eyes widened in shock, and Ye Feng felt his entire world collapse in front of him. His face turned pale, and the faces of those who are close to him flashed into his mind: "mother, first brother, second sister, third sister, fourth brother, uncle Mu, elders, teacher De."

Ye Feng started whispering to himself, "How can this be? It can't be possible." 

Chen saw Ye Feng start to breakdown mentally, and he yelled loudly, "YE FENG."

When Chen yelled at Ye Feng, he used his saint power to snap Ye Feng to reality. He then sighed and said, "Your father is alive, and I believe more of your clansmen survived. that ordeal If you want to take revenge on the Devil Claw sect, you'll need to improve your cultivation and get stronger right now. You are weak like an insect to them; they are one of the top three demonic sects on the Tian Yuan continent. Destroying you will be too easy for them, like stepping on an ant."

Fu and Ye Feng narrowed their eyes when they heard this, and Chen continued, "Also, I think it is wise for you to leave the Hidden Dragon Kingdom because war is on the horizon. Soon, the Andreas kingdom and Persian kingdom will invade the Hidden Dragon Kingdom."

When Fu and Ye Feng heard this, their eyes widened. Chen then said seriously to Ye Feng, "There is a teleportation formation in the Azure Fang Pagoda, fifth floor. The formation will take you to Blue Wind Kingdom. You can use this formation only twice per year. Tonight, I will escort you to the pagoda."

Ye Feng nodded his head. "Thank you, academy headmaster. Please excuse me. I need to clear my mind. I will see you tonight."

Chen nodded his head, then waved his hand. "You may leave Ye Feng; if you need anything, feel free to come and ask."

Ye Feng smiled in gratitude and nodded his head. He then left the office and walked back to his dwelling.
