"Set up an ambush and kill him," Xu Ke said.
"All of us? We're going all out?" Huang Sheng asked tentatively, his gaze sweeping across the room.
"Yes!" Xu Ke nodded.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Xu Ke's move was quite audacious. Chen Xiong, Wang Wu, Tang Yingchang, Han Wang... so many Innate Great Perfection masters acting together! Such an extravagant lineup could almost be considered second only to the Long Capital Martial Alliance, right?
But after their shock subsided, they found it quite reasonable. With two powerful figures backing Xu Ke, it was only natural that he could assemble such a force.
Huang Zhendong asked, "Isn't this a bit of overkill?"
In his eyes, even though the Ye Family was the leading family in Tianhai, he still believed there wasn't much difference between the Huang Family and the Ye Family. Why was it necessary to send so many people?
"No. Even if Ye Yunfeng is easily defeated, I prefer to be cautious," Xu Ke said, then paused before adding, "Besides, asking you all to act doesn't cost anything, so why not?"
Huang Zhendong was rendered speechless. That made perfect sense. Indeed, others might not want to commit overkill because of the expense. But since Xu Ke was freeloading, what was there to fear?
"Then what happens after Ye Yunfeng is killed? How do you plan to handle the Ye Family? If Ye Yunfeng dies, Tianhai will be thrown into turmoil, and Wong Ting could imdiately support a new family to take over," Huang Sheng raised the sa question that Yuan Shang and Duan Chongfeng had considered.
Xu Ke answered skillfully, "When Ye Yunfeng dies, the Ye Family won't. Ye Feng is still alive."
"What?"
"Huh? Didn't Ye Feng die a long ti ago?"
"That's right, didn't you kill him?"
The crowd was stunned, firing off one question after another.
"I didn't kill him. He's alive and well," Xu Ke replied with a clap of his hands.
After he spoke, everyone's eyes widened. They wanted to probe further, sensing there was much more to the story.
Unwilling to explain further, Xu Ke stood up. "Let's go. We're heading to the Ye Family."
Although Xu Ke didn't want to operate on the enemy's ho turf, Ye Taiqing had said Ye Yunfeng was still at the Ye Family estate. To kill him, they had no choice but to go.
Hearing this, everyone rose, ready to leave.
Just then, Xu Ke's phone suddenly rang. His expression changed when he saw the caller ID: Ye Taiqing.
Wasn't this guy afraid to call? Why the sudden call now?
A sense of foreboding imdiately rose in Xu Ke's heart.
As expected, the mont the call connected, the voice on the other end wasn't Ye Taiqing's but Ye Yunfeng's.
Ye Yunfeng spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, as if making small talk. "Xu Ke, how long until you get to the Ye Family?"
Though his tone was even, the question was filled with murderous intent.
Xu Ke's eyes narrowed. "What have you done to Ye Taiqing?"
By now, Xu Ke understood that Ye Yunfeng was aware of everything.
"Not much. He is my elder, after all. But if you were hoping he would help you from the inside, you can forget it. We of the Ye Family cannot betray our own." Ye Yunfeng's voice was tinged with derision, as if mocking Xu Ke's foolishness. He then turned and spoke to Ye Taiqing beside him, "Right, Fourth Uncle?"
"AH!" Ye Taiqing's scream imdiately followed. "You, what the hell did you do to ?!"
Ye Yunfeng didn't answer Ye Taiqing. He just continued speaking to Xu Ke, "I'll be waiting for you at the Ye Family."
The call disconnected.
Xu Ke's face turned livid. He hurriedly called Chen Xiong while turning to the others and barking, "Let's go! We're heading to the Ye Family!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Xu Ke's expression, everyone instantly knew sothing had gone wrong. Now, even the reluctant mbers of the Qin and Huang Families had no choice but to agree in unison.
***
「The Ye Family.」
At this mont, Ye Yunfeng stood at the gate of the Ye Family villa, with four coffins arranged neatly behind him.
Nearby, blood oozed from the corner of Ye Taiqing's mouth. His body was hooked up to so unknown devices, and the indicator lights on a nearby machine were flashing frantically.
Yin Ping looked on with excitent. "Not bad, a living Innate Great Perfection master. If handled properly, your power will increase terrifyingly. Family Head Ye, you've struck it rich."
"Heh." Ye Yunfeng sneered as he looked at Ye Taiqing. "Fourth Uncle, considering you're one of the few elders I have left in this world, I originally had no intention of harming you. It's a pity you brought this upon yourself."
"Ye Yunfeng, what have you been plotting behind the scenes?" Ye Taiqing was furious and wanted to struggle free, but having been sneak-attacked by Ye Yunfeng, he now had no strength left.
Fear still lingered in his eyes. The last ti they had confronted each other in the study, he knew Ye Yunfeng must have been secretly practicing so sinister Cultivation Technique. However, he had never expected that Ye Yunfeng's true power, when fully unleashed, would be so dreadful. It was a force that all Martial Artists would fear!
"What am I plotting? Heh, I'll tell you after you're dead!" Ye Yunfeng sneered, his gaze shifting towards the distance, his eyes glinting with cruelty.
Xu Ke, you want to fight ? You're still too green!
Ye Yunfeng had sensed sothing was amiss long ago. After all this ti with no contact from that group, anyone whose brain wasn't waterlogged would have noticed the anomaly. Yet, his initial reaction wasn't to assu the attack on Xu Ke had failed, but that there was so other unknown reason. After all, in his mind, with Yan Xuehai and Wong Ting making a move, failure was impossible.
But after so investigation, the truth delivered a harsh slap to his face.
His thod of confirmation was simple: he made a phone call to Wong Ting.
When he learned that both the Qin Family and the Huang Family were traitors, his rage beca uncontrollable.
Those two bastards, their acting in front of was so convincing!
Then, when he found out that Xu Ke actually had a Peak Level Maestro and three secretly-arrived Shadow Guards on his side, he was shocked beyond asure. He had never expected that, besides the dical Saint, Xu Ke had other powerful experts backing him.
This realization made Ye Yunfeng understand that his demise was certain. With Xu Ke's decisiveness, if he didn't flee Tianhai imdiately, he likely wouldn't survive the night.
But everything Ye Yunfeng had was tied to Tianhai, the Ye Family, and the Bunker behind the family estate. For him, fleeing was no different from death. So, even though he was reluctant and knew the ti wasn't ripe, he had no choice but to play his final card.
Who would have known that just as he was about to retreat to the Bunker to find Yin Ping and begin preparations, Ye Taiqing would return, planning to cooperate with Xu Ke from the inside.
This infuriated Ye Yunfeng even more.
He had assud Ye Taiqing was long dead because of the Huang and Qin families' betrayal. How could he have imagined that Ye Taiqing had also betrayed him?
Ye Yunfeng could no longer tolerate the sha of being continuously betrayed and fooled. He struck decisively, subdued Ye Taiqing, and then called Xu Ke.
He wanted Xu Ke to co to him. The Bunker behind the Ye Family estate was his ho ground. Even if Xu Ke brought an army, he was confident he could put up a fight. Of course, if Xu Ke decided to play it safe and didn't co to the Ye Family estate, that would be even better, as he could then deal with Ye Taiqing more easily.
"Waiting for to die? You're dreaming!" Faced with Ye Yunfeng's words, Ye Taiqing showed no fear. Instead, he roared furiously, "The Peak Level Maestro behind Xu Ke and the dical Saint will surely kill you! The one who will die will be you!"
Ye Yunfeng burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Oh? Is that so? Then let them co! The dical Saint is definitely not in Tianhai, and as for the other one... heh, so what if he cos? Let's see whose power is greater—Xu Ke's, or the force I've been planning for years!"
