Chapter 2062: Chapter 2062: I Must Break Through!

”Hero Ye, what are you doing here?” The person walking towards them was none other than the son of the Marquis of Mushan County, Yan Meng.

Ye Haochuan smiled slightly and said, ”Eldest Young Master Yan, are you here in Anxi County for a vacation?”

”Vacation? Far from it,” Yan Meng said bitterly. ”I’m here to seek refuge!”

”Really? With your power, Eldest Young Master Yan, who could force you to seek refuge in Anxi County?” Ye Haochuan laughed.

”You don’t know?” Yan Meng said, surprised. ”Something happened in Mushan County. A beast tide surged and occupied the entire county. If it wasn’t for my father’s flying magical treasure, I don’t know which demon beast might have swallowed me whole!”

”What? A beast tide?” Ye Haochuan was genuinely surprised and questioned, ”That can’t be right. Even if a beast tide was launched, it couldn’t have just overrun Mushan City like that. There are many cultivators in Mushan County, plus the city walls for defense. How could...”

”You don’t know, when the demon beasts besieged the city, the beasts within also rioted and breached the southern gate, letting the beast horde into the city, taking us by surprise. Those demon beasts, usually stupid, somehow had a strategy this time!” Yan Meng lamented.

Oh my, these demon beasts have become clever, even coordinating from inside and outside?

Ye Haochuan sighed deeply along with Yan Meng.

He suddenly remembered the scene where Gong Lin reported the situation in Mushan County to the Prefecture Master earlier. He initially thought it was just a minor issue, but now it seemed significant indeed.

”And in Mushan City, right now...” Ye Haochuan suddenly recalled Ling Zhixing, who was still running an inn in Mushan City, and couldn’t help but worry.

”Mushan City, right now it might already be a beast’s den, with the people inside having no escape, likely all turned into demon beasts’ food, right?”

Yan Meng showed a gloomy expression, this usually idle young master, after such an event, also started to show some compassion.

”By the way!” Yan Meng suddenly remembered something, ”The girl named Long you once searched for also seemed to be in Mushan City.”

”What?” Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened immediately, he quickly asked, ”Are you sure you saw correctly?”

”I saw it with my own eyes. If there had been space on the flying magical treasure, I would have brought her out!” Yan Meng said seriously.

Boom~

Ye Haochuan’s head felt like it was struck by lightning, becoming dazed.

Yan Meng had met Long Keyue before, and it was because of her that Ye Haochuan got to know him. So, Yan Meng saying he saw her must certainly not be mistaken.

It just didn’t make sense to him. Long Keyue had clearly left for Anxi County several days before him, so why had she returned to Mushan City?

After a few breaths, Ye Haochuan barely calmed his mind and asked with difficulty, ”When did the demon beasts breach Mushan City?”

Yan Meng thought for a moment and said, ”About ten days after we last met!”

”Ten days? Then it’s been over half a month?” Ye Haochuan’s heart sank further.

In over half a month, no matter how formidable Long Keyue was, she couldn’t possibly evade the demon beasts’ pursuit!

According to Yan Meng’s report, this beast tide in Mushan County was quite significant, otherwise, it couldn’t have breached Mushan City in such a short time, forcing even the county marquis to flee hastily.

Not to mention, Long Keyue’s cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, any powerful demon beast could easily kill her.

”No, I have to go and see, maybe she’s somewhere, waiting for me to rescue her!” Ye Haochuan suddenly made a firm decision.

Though there’s a high chance Long Keyue might be gone, as long as he hasn’t seen her body, Ye Haochuan won’t believe she’s dead.

Upon hearing this, Yan Meng was frightened out of his wits and quickly urged, ”Hero Ye, you can’t go there, Mushan County is now a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, anyone going there is just courting death!”

He wasn’t truly concerned about Ye Haochuan’s safety, he was worried that if something happened to Ye Haochuan, there’d be no one left to offer the antidote.

”No, I have to go, even if it’s the Incessant Hell, for Keyue, I will venture there!” Ye Haochuan declared firmly.

Yan Meng’s eyes darted, ”Even if you wish to go, you can’t. The Tuo River is surging with demon beasts rampant, no vessels are able to take you across, and the bridges were destroyed by river demon beasts before the beast tide emerged.”

”What?” Ye Haochuan’s brows furrowed deeply.

He knew Yan Meng was telling the truth.

This beast tide was evidently well-planned and premeditated. Given their operations, cutting off bridges in advance to prevent county governments around Mushan County from sending aid also made perfect sense.

Yet now, any hope Ye Haochuan had was dashed once again.

”Right, didn’t your father have a flying magical treasure? Can you lend it to me?” Ye Haochuan recalled Yan Meng’s previous words and asked.

”This...” Yan Meng was visibly troubled.

Ye Haochuan’s mind raced, and he smiled, ”If you lend me the flying magical treasure, I’ll give you the antidote, so you won’t have to wait a whole year. How about it?”

Saying this, a trace of guilt flashed in Ye Haochuan’s eyes as he looked at Yan Meng.

The poison he fed Yan Meng was actually nonexistent, there was no antidote at all. But he was out of options now, and could only leverage this to threaten Yan Meng a bit.

”Alright! I’ll talk to my father!” Yan Meng weighed his options and finally agreed.

”Thank you!” Ye Haochuan expressed his gratitude and waited anxiously.

Soon after, Yan Meng returned with a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man exuded authority, and his cultivation was not low, clearly at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage.

Seeing him, Ye Haochuan’s heart sank again. Even experts of the Immortal Transformation Late Stage had to retreat, showing the terror of this beast tide.

”Is this your friend?” The middle-aged man sized up Ye Haochuan and smiled at Yan Meng, ”Not bad, you’ve finally found a decent friend, not like those idle sons you usually hang with, unreliable!”

Yan Meng chuckled sheepishly, actually appearing slightly proud.

This guy hadn’t told his father that the person in front of him was the one who poisoned him.

It was fortunate he hadn’t; otherwise, with this middle-aged man’s cultivation, he might have captured Ye Haochuan and tortured him for the antidote.

”I wish to cross the river to Mushan County, and implore you to grant my request, sir!” Ye Haochuan spoke directly without beating around the bush.

”I’ve heard from Meng’er about your intention to rescue your woman, a person of loyalty!” The middle-aged man laughed, ”However, I must remind you, Mushan County is filled with countless dangers at this time, going there is a near-death experience. Are you really willing to go?”

”I am!” Ye Haochuan replied without hesitation.

”Good! I like people with loyalty like you. I’ll help you with this!” The middle-aged man agreed heartily.
