Chapter 48: The Power of Xiao Dao

  "It's been three days! Father, won't anything happen to Ye at night?"

  In the room, looking at Chen Ye who had been unconscious for three days, Chen Shun said worriedly, his expression as sharp and cold as a sword!

  Three days ago, now in the Imperial City, everyone knows, everyone is aware!

  That group of powerful black-robed masked men, although no one knows their true identities, but who doesn't know who is behind them?

  Everyone thought that the Chen, Ye and Tie families would join forces to take revenge, even if not directly targeting that high-and-mighty person, but other places should not be able to stop the three families' anger.

  But no one would have thought that the three families had always been so calm, calm to the point where it seemed as if the three people who were attacked on that night were not their descendants.

  But this tranquility existed before the imperial edict arrived.

  Grandfather Chen sighed softly, he also didn't know whether Chen Ye's current situation was good or bad.

  Three days have passed, and the injuries Chen Ye received that night had long since healed. Logically speaking, even if he was tired, he should have rested enough by now, and his bodily functions were all normal.

  However, Old Man Chen is a figure of such stature that he is one of the top masters in the Great Huaxia Empire today, and others may not notice, but Old Man Chen can do it.

  Under the assistance of his pure and refined aura, Old Man Chen clearly sensed that within Chen Ye's body, a very strange yet extremely powerful energy was surging.

  This energy does not belong to Chen Ye, but it also has a protective intention for Chen Ye. Even with the cultivation of Old Man Chen, his Xuan Qi encountered a strong blocking force when entering Chen Ye's body, making it impossible for him to deeply and clearly investigate.

  The emergence of such energy should be a good thing for Chen Ye, but Old Man Chen also discovered that it was this very energy that had kept Chen Ye unconscious all along.

  The specific reason is probably known only by Chen Ye besides himself.

  Heaving a soft sigh again, Old Man Chen said: "Let's go out, nothing will happen to Ye."

  He is also unclear about what happened, and for now, he can only say that.

  Out of the room, Chen Shun said: "Father, the imperial edict has been issued. How should we respond?"

  Upon hearing this, Chen Lian coldly laughed and said: "Everyone has been injured, and their target is clearly Ye Ye. They want to put Ye Ye to death. With just one comforting edict from the Emperor, do you think this can be erased?"

  "Wanting to wipe it out, is it that easy? The Emperor himself also knows, it's fundamentally impossible, this imperial decree, was just meant to temporarily stabilize us."

  Grandfather Chen smiled faintly and said, "The emperor's decree, we don't need to pay attention to it. Anyway, we didn't plan on doing anything with this matter. As long as Ye is safe and sound, that's the best outcome for us."

  "One day, they will give us a complete account of everything!"

  Chen Shun and Chen Lie nodded, their eyes involuntarily gazing northwest of the mansion. A moment later, the brothers' gazes converged, saying: "Everyone in the family is worried about Ye, but he...".

  "His heart is already dead, how can he come back to life? Although the night belongs to him..."

  Grandfather Chen's eyes seemed to have a hint of tears, and he immediately waved his hand vigorously, saying: "Chen Shun, who is the person in that horse carriage? Do you have any leads?"

  He suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice: "I was with her halfway, but suddenly lost her trace..."

  "With her skills, you indeed can't keep up with her." Old Man Chen sighed: "I really didn't expect that in the Imperial City of the Capital, there would be such a master."

  "Father, have you found out who that old thing is?" Chen Lie asked at this time.

  Grandfather Chen shook his head and said: "When I and Old Ye arrived, that guy had already discovered us and entered the sedan chair. He didn't let me see his true face."

  "Originally, I thought of keeping him here, but thinking about it, they went to such great lengths to plan this operation, just wanting my Chen family and the imperial family to clash once again. Since that's the case, how can I fulfill their wishes?"

  Chen Lie smiled and said, "An enemy that is already known will not pose too great a threat. If he were to be killed, we would not know who the new enemy is, and it would only cause them to hide again. Father, what you are worried about should be the other person in the sedan chair, shouldn't it?"

  Grandfather Chen slowly closed his eyes, deep in thought, and said: "That person, to me, is very strange, yet somehow familiar. The direction the sedan chair went was towards the Long Sun family's house. I just can't figure out who in the Long Sun family is so mysterious!"

  "A person who can make the second prince not refuse and obey orders...". Chen Shun's eyes suddenly became stern, saying: "This person's identity must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise, in the future, Ye Er and others will suffer even greater losses."

  "It can be investigated, but there's no need to tell Ye Er about it. Young people won't grow up if they don't experience some setbacks. If not for this, their assassination attempt wouldn't even have harmed a single hair on Ye Er's head. They really think that in the Imperial City, they can deceive me for a moment?"

  "Four years of silence, not only did it not make Ye truly sink, but instead made him walk out a different path. I am very pleased."

  "But, if he wants to achieve what he has always yearned for in his heart, what he needs is really too much. His future actions, we can't participate in or provide any help with, so let's just give him an environment where he can fully exert himself at the moment."

  "This is the only thing we can do for Ye, I really hope that our family can reunite soon......I hope this day won't come too late, and won't let me not see it!"

  It seemed that Chen Ye, who had been unconscious in the room all this time, heard it. He, who hadn't moved for three days, suddenly moved his fingers slightly.

  With this movement, a dazzling white light burst out of his body like lightning, wrapping his entire body in it like a large net.

  A moment later, a small knife slowly appeared and stayed at his brow.

  For a moment, the powerful energy that Old Man Chen had once felt protecting Chen Ye, yet didn't belong to him, surged forth from Xiao Dao's brow under his guidance and then merged into Xiao Dao.

  It seems that this energy should be the power of the small knife itself, and now it's back, which is also reasonable.

  However, just as the energy returned to the small knife's body, suddenly, a white light enveloped the small knife, and in an instant, its mottled appearance became much clearer, giving off an even more desolate feel.

  It's as if the small knife has been buried underground for decades, and its body has grown a lot of rust!

  At this time, the small knife was like an old man who was about to die, under the dim white light, it almost stumbled back into the body of Chen Ye.

  After a moment, Chen Ye slowly woke up, felt his body's condition, especially carefully examined the small knife in his dantian, and then Chen Ye couldn't help but let out a light sigh, saying solemnly: "Little Knife, I'm sorry, it was unavoidable under those circumstances!"

  Today is another three watches, asking for everything from brothers, ah!
