Chapter 8 - The Crisis Descends

 Ye Chen returned to the Ye Family happily with the treasures he obtained at the auction. However, he didn't know that his high-profile performance at the auction had already aroused the envy of some people. The night shrouded the Ye Family. Amid the tranquility, a storm was lurking. Just as Ye Chen returned to his room and before he could study the newly acquired jade pendant carefully, the gate of the Ye Family was broken by a rough pounding. "Listen up, people of the Ye Family. Hand over what Ye Chen got at the auction quickly, or the Ye Family will be filled with blood tonight!" An arrogant voice sounded outside the door. Ye Chen was shocked and immediately rushed out of his room. The others in the Ye Family were also awakened and came to the front yard. Outside the gate of the Ye Family, a group of people in black clothes were holding weapons, looking fierce. The leader was a burly man with a fierce look in his eyes, filled with greed and ruthlessness. "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous!" Ye Chen shouted angrily. "Humph, kid. Don't you even know our Black Wind Gang? Be sensible and hand over the things quickly. Maybe we'll spare your lives." The burly man sneered. Ye Chen's face was gloomy. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable today. "If you want the things, come and take them with your ability!" Ye Chen didn't back down, and spiritual energy surged within him. The burly man waved his hand, and the men in black behind him rushed towards the Ye Family like a tide. Ye Chen flashed his figure and met the several men in black who were at the front. His punches were fierce, each strike containing powerful spiritual energy, and instantly knocked down several men in black. The others of the Ye Family also displayed their spiritual skills one after another and engaged in a fierce fight with the men in black. However, the people of the Black Wind Gang were quite powerful and there were many of them. Gradually, the Ye Family fell into a disadvantage. "Kid, stop struggling in vain. Hand over the things obediently, and I might spare your life!" The burly man shouted得意antly. Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger. He knew well that if they couldn't repel these enemies, the Ye Family would face a disaster. Just then, Ye Chen suddenly felt a strange fluctuation from the jade pendant in his arms. His heart moved, as if grasping the last straw. Ye Chen concentrated and tried to communicate with the jade pendant. A miracle happened. A dazzling light burst out from the jade pendant, instantly repelling the men in black around. The burly man's face changed greatly. He didn't expect Ye Chen to have such a trump card. "Everyone, attack together. Don't give him a chance to catch his breath!" The burly man roared. Ye Chen held the jade pendant tightly and, with the help of the power released by the jade pendant, struggled to resist the enemy's attacks. But he also knew that the power of the jade pendant seemed not to last long. Just when the people of the Ye Family gradually felt powerless, a shout of killing suddenly came from the distance. It turned out that the allies of the Ye Family, the reinforcement from the Bai Family, had arrived. The experts of the Bai Family were like tigers descending the mountain, quickly rushing into the battlefield and engaging in a fierce fight with the people of the Black Wind Gang. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the people of the Black Wind Gang began to flee one after another. "Don't let them escape!" Ye Chen shouted. The people of the Ye Family and the reinforcement from the Bai Family pursued together and captured or killed most of the people of the Black Wind Gang. After the battle ended, Ye Chen collapsed on the ground tiredly. "Ye Chen, thanks to you this time. Otherwise, the Ye Family would be in danger." An elder of the Ye Family said with emotion. Ye Chen shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the timely assistance of the Bai Family, the consequences would be unimaginable." The leader of the Bai Family came forward and said, "Ye Chen, your performance at the auction was too conspicuous. You must be careful in the future." Ye Chen nodded and secretly vowed in his heart that he must improve his strength as soon as possible to prevent such a crisis from happening again. After experiencing this turmoil, Ye Chen returned to his room and began to study the mysterious jade pendant carefully. He found that there were some strange lines engraved on the jade pendant, which seemed to hide some mysterious power. In the following days, while training hard, Ye Chen tried to unlock the secret of the jade pendant. He knew that in this world full of dangers and challenges, only by constantly strengthening himself could he protect the people around him.
