When three hours had passed, Ye Feilong, in good spirits, was drinking tea and thinking about the next step in the Ye family's plan.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and his entire body fell from the chair.
It was as if a mountain had fallen on his head, leaving him unable to rise from the ground.
Beside him, Ye Qizi also fell.
After coughing violently twice, fresh blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth, and he cried out in terror: "Father, what's happening?"
"The luck of the nation has begun to fight back."
Ye Feilong immediately realized, and with a voice full of rage and hoarseness, shouted:
"How can this be? Ye Qiu had already controlled the Nine Dragons Formation! And besides, we haven't even returned to China yet. This shouldn't be happening!"
"We're above the Treasure Island… Since ancient times, this place has been Chinese territory."
Ye Qizi bitterly reminded him.
That invisible force was pressing him to the ground, making it truly impossible to move even a finger.
Fortunately, the butler of the private plane ran toward them. Seeing the two lying on the ground, he hurriedly asked:
"Gentlemen, what's happening to you…?"
"Don't worry about us, go find the captain and tell him to return the plane to Japan."
Ye Feilong roared furiously.
Although his strength was formidable, in the face of the luck of the nation, there was nothing he could do—he was crushed, unable to move!
But beyond that, what truly worried him was what had happened to Ye Qiu.
Wasn't he supposed to have already taken control of the Nine Dragons Formation?
Even in the worst-case scenario, if Ye Qiu hadn't succeeded, all he had to do was place the sword he had painstakingly obtained in the center of the formation.
Then the Nine Dragons Formation would go out of control, and the luck of the nation would stop attacking him.
After the plane's captain turned around and flew a certain distance, Ye Feilong and his son felt that invisible force completely disappear.
Ye Qizi, whose cultivation level was lower, spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face pale as a ghost.
Ye Feilong, with a grim expression, pulled out a bottle of pills and tossed it to his son to take.
"Father, what exactly is happening?"
After taking the pills, Ye Qizi felt much better, but in his heart, the pain was indescribable.
It was as if an incomparably beautiful woman had actively invited you into her life—or rather, her body.
Just as you were about to indulge, you realize it was all just a dream.
The worst part was that, upon waking, you find yourself tied up, while several of the three brothers are sharpening their weapons, ready to attack, and they've dressed you in a giant lizard suit!
"Ye Qiu probably failed, and someone from the Nine Heavens Alliance has repaired the Nine Dragons Formation."
Ye Feilong sighed deeply.
Twenty years of planning, all destroyed in an instant.
Ye Qizi's face showed surprise, but just as he wanted to console his father, Ye Feilong raised his hand and said in a calm tone:
"Say no more, let's return to Japan and rest."
"Alright."
Ye Qizi said no more, but inside, he couldn't help but admire his father.
After more than 20 years of planning came crashing down, he could still remain so serene.
That calmness, he thought, was something he might never achieve in his entire life.
At the same moment Ye Feilong and his son were being crushed by the luck of the nation on the plane, Tang Yu had just finished repairing the Nine Dragons Formation.
After much effort, Tang Yu finally completed the repairs to the Nine Dragons Formation and sat on the ground, sweating like a pig.
Repairing the formation involved the strategy of the "Secret Gate." Even with the [Accelerated Training] technique, Tang Yu had completely exhausted his energy.
What is known as ancient martial arts techniques, compared to these mysteries filled with celestial secrets, was like they were worlds apart.
"No wonder almost no one knows about it these days."
Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh as he sat on the ground.
Even if a person were talented in this area, even dedicating their entire life to it, they would hardly be able to fully comprehend it.
"Well done."
Seeing that the Nine Dragons Formation was already repaired, Qiu Xiaozhu approached and wiped the sweat from Tang Yu's face with a handkerchief.
The Grand Elder also sat on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to relax his tension.
After a moment of rest, he stood up and said:
"Xiaozhu, stay here to keep watch; I'll go check on the situation."
"Alright, be careful."
Qiu Xiaozhu reminded him bitterly:
"The disaster today isn't just a conspiracy of the Ye family."
The tensions accumulated over centuries within the Qiu family had finally erupted completely.
This conflict between brothers, which cannot be easily judged as right or wrong—who should seek revenge now?
Then she looked at Tang Yu and said, "Ling Jun, you go with the Grand Elder too."
"Master, just call me Tang Yu."
Tang Yu smiled as he recalled, then left with the Grand Elder.
When the two returned, everyone was still busy extinguishing the fire.
However, thanks to their joint efforts, the great fire was already under control.
The Grand Elder, accompanied by Tang Yu, arrived at the ancestral temple, where they were already treating the Second Elder.
The bodies of the Third Elder and the Eighth Elder were already covered with a white sheet.
Seeing the Second Elder's wounds, Tang Yu sighed softly.
Although he had survived, his life from now on would probably be spent in a wheelchair.
When he saw the Grand Elder arrive with an unfamiliar young man, the Second Elder immediately asked:
"What happened?"
"Ye Qiu has already been killed by Ling Jun. The Nine Dragons Formation is safe; don't worry. Now rest, I'll take care of everything."
The Grand Elder quickly urged his old friend to rest.
"Ling Jun?"
The Second Elder looked at Tang Yu.
"That's me, Second Elder. Take care of yourself."
Tang Yu nodded.
"Well done."
The Second Elder let out a satisfied laugh and said, "When I recover a bit, I'll treat you to a drink."
As he said this, he coughed violently several times, and dark blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Evidently, the laughter had aggravated his internal injuries.
The Grand Elder quickly had him taken to rest and then went with Tang Yu to oversee the fire's extinguishment.
When everything was under control, all the disciples of the Nine Heavens Alliance and members of the Qiu family gathered outside the ancestral temple.
The tables that had been set up for the occasion had already been removed.
What should have been a day of celebration had turned into an absolute tragedy.
Around ten people were tied with ropes, their backs to the ancestral temple, kneeling before the crowd.
These people were traitors of the Qiu family who had been helping the Third Elder.
It was thanks to the cooperation of these scattered traitors that they had almost succeeded in destroying the Nine Heavens Alliance.
The most critical issue was that the Nine Heavens Alliance was surrounded by mountains, with forests stretching for hundreds of miles around.
If the fire had gotten out of control, the consequences would have been extremely severe.
Many members of the Qiu family looked at these traitors with hatred in their eyes.
Some, who knew the truth, felt sympathy in their hearts but didn't dare say anything.
When everyone had gathered, the Grand Elder took a deep breath and then spoke loudly:
"Comrades, I assume you all know what happened today."
"These traitors have allied with the Ye family, trying to help them steal the Nine Dragons Formation, which our Qiu family has protected for centuries."
"They even went so far as to kill each other and murder family members."
"According to family rules, those who harm family members must be punished with the death penalty."
"Those who help outsiders steal the Nine Dragons Formation must also be punished with the death penalty."
After the Grand Elder pronounced the accusations, many in the crowd shouted "Death penalty!"
Others remained silent, their attitude uncertain.
The traitors of the Qiu family, kneeling on the ground, showed no emotion, as if they were completely disconnected from what was happening, without fear or plea for forgiveness.
From the moment they decided to do this, they were already prepared to die.
It was all or nothing: either fight to the end or spend the rest of their lives as dogs.
They chose the first option.
The Grand Elder observed these people for a moment before speaking again:
"Does anyone have anything to say?"
"My wife and children have nothing to do with this. Please don't involve them."
"Don't involve my family."
Hearing the Grand Elder's words, the traitors hurried to clarify that their relatives knew nothing of their actions.
