Chapter 27: Tomorrow, Who Will Save Whom?

  "Yehuan, are you dizzy from being scared in the big fire just now?"

  Baboff suddenly leaned in close to Ye Huan's ear, his lowest voice scolding: "Take a look at this wolfman's helmet, hairband, and the earring on his left ear. These are all soul equipment that you can't afford even if you live a lifetime! This wolfman is able to wear these equipment, at the very least he's a first-rate Yuan Soul Master. Killing him, you haven't wasted your time yet!"

  "Mr. Popov, can't a waste person like you take down a first-rate yuan soul master?"

  Ye Huan smiled, "No, at least I can give you a dozen examples. For instance, poisoning him when he's drinking water, shooting him in the back while he's eating, or kidnapping his loved one to force him to lay down his arms... Sir, since ancient times, there have been too many strong people who died at the hands of the weak. Even God said that even gods can die from accidents when they are careless!"

  Popov stared at Ye Huan's eyes for a while, without finding any signs of nervousness or deceit. He nodded, "Alright, let's assume it was you who killed him. Where is the werewolf's corpse?"

  "Uh... I'm extremely sorry!"

  Yue Huan pointed to the followers in the distance, "You see, this damned werewolf has brought great disaster here. Mr., you should be able to imagine how angry these people are? So after I cut off the werewolf's head, his body was thrown into the fire by someone, and even the ashes were burned away!"

  "How dare you desecrate the corpse!" Popov suddenly drew his saber.

  "Mr. Popov, what are you doing?"

  Ye Huan's eyebrows shot up, "The several thousand people of Hei Gu are witness, General Xue Li is witness, tonight was a wolf attack on us, we just killed a bandit leader!"

  Popov's expression changed rapidly, Jiggs was writing a letter at the time, so he knew why the werewolf attacked Hei Gu, and even more so, the identity of the werewolf, as well as the impact that killing him would bring. He had even made up his mind, that only by immediately killing Ye Huan could he give an account to the werewolf's grandfather!

  But... many people are watching!

  "Mr. Ye Huan, you're right, you are a meritorious minister, how could I possibly threaten a meritorious minister? Haha, I just saw the miserable state of Hei Gu and was indignant in my heart... I'd like to kill a few people to vent my anger!"

  Popov almost ground his teeth to dust, he sheathed the curved knife and finally squeezed out a smile: "Alright, we're here, it's all over. Residents of Black Valley, please follow me back to the Academy. The injured will receive the best medical care from Principal Giggs. Those who are not injured will also get a full meal and a new cotton robe!"

  He nodded at Ye Huan's chest, "And you, Ye Huan, I won't arrest you... Ha, I really don't have a reason to arrest you now! But please remember, this is a sensational case, and you absolutely cannot leave the college for the next few days. Otherwise, I'll personally bring people to catch you back!"

  Is this what house arrest means?

  It seems I'm right!

  ……

  Popov took the farmers away, and the remaining students looked at each other, not fools, so Amy's brother was the first to burst out in anger, "Damn Popov, we're the victims, why don't you go after the remaining werewolves instead of detaining Huan?"

  "Hey, Mr. Amy, don't you get it? That wolf cub's dad or grandpa is a tough guy, Popov can't afford to offend him, even Giggs can't afford to offend him... He's dead, so someone has to pay for his life!"

  Adolf got up and stood beside Ye Huan with his head down, "Boss, I've caused you trouble..."

  "Don't say it's useless, tell me, apart from us, who else knows that you killed him?"

  "It's gone."

  "That's good, just now you only arrived at the valley entrance, and only a few of us students nearby saw it..." Ye Huan gazed coldly at everyone, "You all remember, no matter who asks, insist that I, Ye Huan, killed the wolfman. If they want to know the details, tell them that this wolfman provoked public outrage, was surrounded by countless people, and after his soul power was exhausted, it was me, Ye Huan, who beheaded him with one knife!"

  "Big brother, if this gets out, you'll be a dead man!"

  Ye Huan grabbed Adolf's collar and asked him word by word, "Mr. Adolf, why did you kill that werewolf just now?"

  "Because, because... he wants to kill you!"

  "This is the end of it, you killed him to save me, so I should take responsibility for this matter. After all, I have a fanatical identity, and if I take the blame, no one will dare to kill me openly. But if you take the blame yourself, you're definitely going to die!"

  Ye Huan took a deep breath, and his eyes gleamed with an unusual sternness. "Also, all of you followers of the Salvation Sect must remember this: these are the rules of the Salvation Sect - help me Ye Huan do things, if there's any mistake, I Ye Huan will take responsibility for you!"

  Ye Huan pushed Adolph into the crowd and let a few students who were good at medicine bandage him, then he walked in front of Sherry.

  Sheri has already reunited with her main force, and she probably guessed what Ye Huan wanted to say. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Don't ask anymore, about the identity, origin, family of that wolf man... I can't say a single word..." She lowered her voice, "Because I'm also an official, this matter has been taken over by Popov, and I have to follow some official rules... Besides, so many people are watching!"

  Ye Huan nodded in understanding and pulled away from Sherry.

  Sherry punched Ye Huan's chest a few times, which was a military courtesy, and then she led the troops away.

  Returning to the academy, due to the death of the wolf-like man, the joy of gaining over 200 followers and the growth of the Wind Wing to one meter in length was all dampened. Ye Huan didn't even have the mood to check his own progress, he directly called his followers together and secretly discussed with them for a night.

  Of course, these followers are limited to Bai Xiaobai, Adolph, Shura, and Lushu, who was hastily summoned back by Kuaima. Moreover, during the discussion, Shura did not say a word, but instead stared at Ye Huan with a cold gaze, which made everyone ignore her existence.

  By the time it was dawn, Ye Huan's frail physical strength could no longer hold on, and she fell asleep for a while. Everyone else went out to gather information, and by the time the sky brightened, Ye Huan woke up, and everyone returned, with the result of their discussion also coming out.

  Who is this werewolf, I don't know!

  What kind of revenge will come next, I don't know!

  When will revenge come, I don't know!

  So when the first ray of sunlight on New Year's Day shot in from outside the window, several people in the house were huddled around a round table with their heads down, the atmosphere was so depressing that it almost made people breathless. After a long time, Bai Xiaobai hesitantly raised his hand, "Boss, how about... we escape!"

  Only this silly fool can come up with such a stupid idea?

  After the battle of Hei Gu, the number of direct followers of the Salvation Sect increased to nearly four hundred people. In addition, more than seven thousand farmers and workers who were not directly affiliated with the sect also pledged allegiance to Dan Ge. If they were to escape, what would happen to them? Popov would let them take the blame!

  My mind is a bit of a mess...

  Ye Huan walked around the room a few times, he knew that at this time he had to calm down, after rubbing his forehead, he took a few deep breaths according to the abdominal breathing method for regulating emotions in hypnosis, inhaling for seven seconds, holding his breath for four seconds, exhaling for seven seconds, holding his breath for four seconds... His chest felt a bit stuffy, he loosened the belt that was tightly tied around his chest, "Huh? What's this..."

  He felt a curious spider web beside his clothes, opened it and found a piece of paper inside, which must have been secretly stuffed in by Shirley when she was pounding on his chest.

  "The werewolf's name is Orla, the Left Chancellor of the Beastman Empire, son of Taigus, the Red Archbishop of Mount Helei, grandson of Saiyu..."

  The first sentence on the note made Ye Huan's eyes light up, "Ye Huan, you killed a prime minister's son, the grandson of the archbishop, Jieges will definitely betray you to appease Sai Ou's anger, if you want to live, there is only one way!"

  "Sutianhe!"

  Ye Huan read out the last name on the note, and then burned it with a candle. "Everyone heard that, to survive, they had to find this Su Tianhe... Who knew who Su Tianhe was?"

  “……”

  Lu Xiu suddenly raised his head, drew out the Cross Sword, and exaggeratedly acted as if Ye Huan had been possessed by a demon and swallowed her soul.

  “……”

  Bai Xiaobai's eyes widened, his glasses askew.

  “……”

  Adolf sucked on a half-smoked hemp, letting it burn, burning his own lips.

  "Idiot!"

  Shura snorted coldly and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.

  "Uh... what's wrong?" Ye Huan was bewildered.

  No one paid attention to this 'pretentious' guy, four people huddled together and whispered, "General Sherry was right, Su Tianhe is qualified to save us..."

  "It's not just a matter of qualification, it's Su Tianhe we're talking about! If he shows up, even the Pope would have to kneel down to welcome him!"

  "But the question is..."

  "Let's not mention these useless things, we all know that Su Tianhe has been closed for 120 years, and the reason he closed his door was to break with his mother's soul, lose heart and interest, and refuse to intervene in worldly disputes. How could such a Su Tianhe come out of seclusion to help us?"

  *sigh*...

  The house soon fell into gloom again

  At this time, Ye Huan suddenly spoke up, "Four of you, are you discussing the confrontational state between conscious and subconscious mind?"

  He saw the four people staring at him with a strange gaze, "The state of confrontation between consciousness and subconsciousness is another description I have for the rupture between the master and the mother's soul. It's just a simple situation, let's not worry about it for now, continue to say, who exactly is Su Tianhe?"

  "Subconscious... resistance?"

  "It's very simple..."

  "What's wrong?!"

  "Older brother, do you know what you're saying?!" Bai Xiaobai covered his face in agony. "That's Su Tianhe, the ancestor of the Starry Mother Soul! His mother soul has been estranged from him for 120 years! A whole 120 years! Three generations of Popes and fourteen Ancestor-level powerhouses couldn't make his mother soul listen to him. It's over, it's over! My older brother is scared out of his wits, he's gone crazy!"

  Ye Huan was quite surprised, "It's just a struggle between the subconscious and conscious self, okay, okay, it's a mother soul split, such a simple thing, yet three generations of Popes and fourteen ancestor-level strongmen couldn't do anything about it?!"

  He closed his mouth, and with a finger on Shura's nose, "You just said that, didn't you? Su Tianhe can't possibly show up to help me?"

  "What's the use? Can you still get Old Su to show up?"

  Ye Huan was a bit embarrassed, "I feel... it's better if he invites me himself, that way it's a bit more proper."
