Chapter 25 – The Appearance of the Rakshasa Hall, Twin Stars of Heaven and Earth

“Alright, don’t just stand here, quickly bring everything inside the mansion. Your grandfather has been waiting to see you!” Lin Wan’er said to Ye Xue. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Upon hearing that her grandfather was waiting for her, Ye Xue nodded hastily, then looked at Zhao Ling’er.

“Ling’er, I’ll go see Grandpa first, I’ll come find you later.”

Zhao Ling’er nodded, “Go ahead, I’m fine here!”

Hearing this, Ye Xue glanced apologetically at Zhao Ling’er, then followed Yang Tianyu and left.

“Grandpa Yang, it’s been two years, and you’re still the same!” Ye Xue smiled at Yang Tianyu.

“Haha, getting old, not like you youngsters. Xiao Xue, you must have learned a lot in these two years out there!”

“Yeah, somewhat. I’ve encountered all sorts of people and gained a lot of knowledge,” Ye Xue replied after some thought.

“Very good!”

“By the way, where’s Xiao Chen? Where did he go? Doesn’t he know I’m coming back today?”

“Oh, he moved out of the Ye Residence early this morning.”

These words made Ye Xue feel incredulous and puzzled. “Why did he suddenly move out? Where is he living now?”

“As for why Xiao Chen moved out, no one knows. His thoughts are inscrutable, not even Big Brother knows! He just bought Luo Shen Residence yesterday and moved in today,” Yang Tianyu sighed.

Ye Xue nodded; she knew about Luo Shen Residence. It seemed she’d have to visit him tomorrow.

“Hey, isn’t that Xiao Chen’s courtyard? Why am I here?”

“Big Brother is inside. Go on in.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue walked in alone. As she saw a figure leaning on a chair, illuminated by dim candlelight, she felt a sense of loneliness.

This scene made her nose tingle a bit.

“Xiao Xue is here!”

Hearing her grandfather’s voice, Ye Xue took a deep breath, suppressing her previous emotions. “Xiao Xue greets Grandpa! How have you been these two years?”

“Hehe, not bad, come sit!” Ye Dingtian pointed to the chair beside him.

“After two years of experience, you’ve become more composed, learned to hide your emotions. That’s good,” Ye Xue smiled, “People will always grow, especially as a member of the Ye family.”

“Yes, every member of the Ye family is outstanding. Whether it’s Xiao Yun, Qingfeng, or you, you’ve all achieved something. That makes Grandpa very happy,” Ye Dingtian said, stroking his beard.

“This time, you’ve personally escorted many resources from afar for the Ye family. That’s hard work!”

“Not at all, I’m happy to contribute something for the Ye family,” Ye Xue shook her head.

“Since you’re back, don’t leave immediately. The world isn’t very peaceful now. After the storm settles, you can go wherever you want, and the Ye family won’t stop you,” Ye Dingtian said earnestly.

However, these words puzzled Ye Xue. “Grandpa, did something happen?”

“Some things, it’s better for you not to know. The more you know, the more dangerous it is for you.”

“Is it about the Divine Flame Sect?” Ye Xue guessed, as this matter had already spread throughout the martial world.

“It’s related, but not only that! Alright, don’t ask more about this matter. No one will tell you! Just follow the arrangements of the Ye family, understood?” Ye Dingtian’s tone was no longer negotiable; it was a direct command.

Ye Xue became more puzzled but dared not refute her grandfather’s words.

“I understand, Grandpa!”

Ye Dingtian nodded. “Well, I’ve explained what I needed to. Go and accompany that little girl from the Zhao family!”

“Guests have arrived; we can’t neglect them. After all, the Ye and Zhao families have been friends for generations.”

“Tomorrow, take a trip to Luo Shen Residence. With Xiao Chen’s personality, even if he knows you’re back today, he probably won’t bother coming over.”

“Go now!”

After saying this, Ye Dingtian leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

After Ye Xue left, Yang Tianyu entered.

“Big Brother, news has come.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Dingtian opened his eyes. “What news?”

“The Rakshasa Hall has appeared in the world!” Yang Tianyu’s words surprised Ye Dingtian, but he soon chuckled.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect him to make a move so quickly! He’s truly impatient! But with his arrogance, how could he allow others to meddle in his affairs?”

“Even the Rakshasa Hall, hidden for twenty years, has emerged. It seems this move is significant.”

“Big Brother, should we take action?” Yang Tianyu asked.

“No need, it’s not time for us to act yet.”

“The appearance of the Rakshasa Hall signifies bloodshed. Since they want to muddy the waters, let them. We just need to wait and watch.”

“Now, with the disappearance of the Heavenly Net and the emergence of the Rakshasa Hall, these two forces will clash, resulting in injuries. Let’s see who’s stronger and weaker among them.”

At this point, a hint of concern flashed in Ye Dingtian’s eyes. He also wanted to use this opportunity to see how powerful the Heavenly Net truly was.

The Rakshasa Hall was an assassin organization with thirty-six Heavenly Deities and seventy-two Earthly Feinds, a total of 108 killers, each reaching the Transcendent Realm.

Its two hall masters, Heavenly Deity and Earthly Feind, were already powerful individuals in the Celestial Realm twenty years ago. Their current strength was unknown, even to Ye Dingtian.

This force was stronger than the Divine Flame Sect twenty years ago, and now, after twenty years, it must be even more formidable.

…

On the other side, at Luo Shen Residence, Ye Chen lay by the window, looking at the moon. Tonight’s moon was large and round, and the stars in the night sky twinkled incessantly.

In this world, the moon was not called the moon but the Moon Bright Star, also known as the Tai Yin Star.

At this moment, Tian Yan walked over carrying a plate of fruits.

“Young Master, an unknown assassin organization has appeared in the martial world. They have killed many people upon their arrival and vanished afterward!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “They want to lure out the Heavenly Net.”

“Yes, and on another front, it’s to draw enmity towards us! Eliminating their enemies and blaming the Heavenly Net!” Tian Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light. No one had ever dared to plot against the Heavenly Net.

“This is killing two birds with one stone! It seems the person behind this is quite clever!” Ye Chen chuckled lightly.

“Since they want to play, then let’s play along. Find out about this assassin organization. Let them know who they are truly dealing with and daring to scheme against the Heavenly Net.”

“I’ve already begun investigating and have gained some clues. I believe in a few days, we’ll know the details of this force,” Tian Yan smiled.

“Alright, since you have arrangements, I won’t bother.,” said Ye Chen, waving his hand. Many bottles and jars appeared on the nearby table.

“They dare plot against the Heavenly Net, so they must have other means. Deliver these things to the headquarters of the Heavenly Net. Let the top-tier Heaven rank assassins break through to the Transcendent Realm within a few days. Hmph, with eight Transcendent Realm experts from the Heavenly Net, they can counter them all! Since these people in the martial world want the Heavenly Net to appear, this time, let them have a good look. Let those ignorant people understand what the Heavenly Net truly means, what it means to be everywhere!”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

He wasn’t someone who’d wait to be destroyed. If people provoked him, he’d hit back hard.
