After leaving the courtyard in Gusu City, Ye Ling also brought Ye Jiu and the other two back to the villa!
"My Lord, are we going to the Southern Border next?"
He Feng asked.
Ye Ling nodded slightly, with a serious expression, he said, "The Southern Border is fraught with crisis, and now that the Southern Border King has gone missing, I naturally cannot stand idly by, having co here."
The Southern Border is vast, with many ethnic groups within. Even when the Southern Border King was still around, they couldn't truly unify the Southern Border!
Now that the Southern Border King has vanished, the four major armies of the Southern Border are each fighting their own battles. Moreover, with the witch clans of Miaojiang and Wo Country eyeing covetously, the Southern Border is bound to fall into chaos!
The mbers of the Hidden Dragon and the top ten families have yet to appear, and it's unclear what they are plotting.
However, fortunately, Ye Ling had now stepped into the Imperial Path realm and therefore was not afraid of these people using any conspiracies or tricks.
Just after Ye Ling and the others had returned to the villa, a mber of the Hu family ran into the villa in a panic.
"Lord Ye, Miss Su Rou has had an accident!"
Upon seeing Ye Ling, the Hu family mber imdiately spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling's expression suddenly changed and an indescribable aura of terror instantly enveloped the entire villa!
"What situation? Explain in detail!"
However, Ye Ling after all was the Northern Liao King and quickly controlled his emotions, looking at the Hu family mber, he asked.
Not daring to delay any further, the Hu family mber imdiately said, "Originally, our Family Head and Miss Su Rou were discussing the rger of assets with the heads of several other families."
"But people from Ba Tang suddenly burst into the foundation, taking control of both our Family Head and Miss Su Rou!"
"Those other family heads even turned against us one after another, pledging allegiance to Ba Tang!"
Ye Ling's eyebrows raised slightly. Ba Tang had been silent for a while — were they causing trouble again?
He then spoke up again, "Is there any other news?"
"Reporting to My Lord! The person leading Ba Tang this ti is a man nad Hong Wu; even Ba Tang's Vice Hall Master Yao Qian and Chen Zhipeng are extrely respectful to him!"
The Hu family mber said.
"What stray dog dares to join forces with Ba Tang!"
Chen Dao's expression darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "I thought it was that old fool, the Qiankun War King, coming over. I didn't expect it to be so nobody!"
"My Lord, let us imdiately head to the foundation and kill all these dogs to save Miss Su Rou!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling nodded slightly, then led his people straight toward the foundation!
The fact that they dared to let a Hu family mber co to the villa to bring the news ant they naturally wanted to use Su Rou and the Family Head to lure Ye Ling to the foundation.
The vehicle traveled for twenty minutes and arrived at the foot of a towering building!
"My Lord, this is where the foundation is located!"
"This used to be the office building of our Hu family but was given out for the foundation's office as the foundation was established," said the Hu family mber.
Ye Ling nodded indifferently, not at all concerned about these matters.
The group imdiately got out of the car and under the guidance of the Hu family mber, directly entered the building.
anwhile, at the top floor of the building, Yao Qian and others were looking down at Ye Ling and his group entering the building, each with a murderous look on their faces.
"Lord Hong, that little beast Ye Ling has entered the building with his n!"
Yao Qian walked up to Hong Wu and whispered.
Hong Wu was still sitting with his eyes closed, rely nodding slightly.
Su Rou, the Hu Family Head, and several Hu family mbers were bound hand and foot and thrown in a corner.
Su Rou's face was full of worry as she looked at the people from Ba Tang before her, her eyes filled with rage.
She knew full well that these people intended to use her to threaten Ye Ling.
With resolve hardening in her heart, Su Rou decided that if these people dared to use her to coerce Ye Ling, she would take her own life imdiately.
Even in death, she refused to be the cause of trouble for Ye Ling!
As ti ticked by, suddenly, the seated Hong Wu abruptly opened his eyes!
"Bang!"
The next second, a loud crash resonated as the office door was kicked open.
A stern-faced Chen Dao led the way into the office.
His dark gaze swept across the people of Ba Tang, and eting Chen Dao's eyes, each mber of Ba Tang subconsciously lowered their head, not daring to make eye contact!
Even though so ti had passed, they had not forgotten how terrifying Ye Ling's three subordinates were that day at the Hu family villa!
"Sir, the young lady is unhard!"
Seeing that Su Rou was okay, Chen Dao also let out a sigh of relief and spoke up.
As he finished speaking, Ye Ling and others strode into the office.
Ye Ling glanced at Ye Jiu, who imdiately understood and, like a ghost, appeared beside Su Rou in an instant.
Her bindings undone, Su Rou quickly ran to Ye Ling's side, weeping softly.
"There, there, it's all right now! If you keep crying, you'll beco a tear-stained 'tabby'."
Ye Ling patted Su Rou's shoulder, speaking with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Rou looked up at Ye Ling with a worried expression, saying, "Let's hurry up and leave, they have too many people!"
"Not to worry, no matter how nurous the ants, they are still just ants."
Ye Ling chuckled, then continued, "Since these ants dared to touch you, they must be prepared to face death."
Seeing the resolve in Ye Ling's face, Su Rou said no more, silently standing behind him.
"Ye Jiu, take them away first."
Ye Ling looked at Ye Jiu and instructed.
Then, Ye Jiu quickly led Su Rou and the mbers of the Hu family out of the office.
anwhile, Hong Wu and the others did not speak to stop them, seemingly indifferent to the departure of Su Rou and the others!
"Are you Ye Ling?"
Hong Wu sat on the sofa, his gaze directly eting Ye Ling's as he asked.
Ye Ling nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "And who might you be, to stand up for Ba Tang's people?"
"?... I'm just a hermit from Mount Tai'er, outside of Gusu City. The only reason I'm here is to repay a debt of gratitude I owe to the Qiankun War King."
Hong Wu chuckled, then added, "The Qiankun War King asked to test you to settle the debt from the past."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling nodded with a smile, saying, "You appear to be a man of honor."
"Was it your idea to abduct them to this foundation?"
Hong Wu shook his head with a smile, his tone disdainful as he spoke, "I, Hong Wu, have no interest in engaging in such underhanded deeds!"
"Well, if it wasn't your idea, I can let you off the hook."
Ye Ling nodded, then smiled and said, "If you leave now, we'll call it even."
As they heard this, the expressions of those from Ba Tang present changed.
Hong Wu was more powerful than Lin Zhantian, and it was his presence that emboldened them to trouble Ye Ling in the first place.
If Hong Wu were to leave now, what could they possibly use to confront this terrifying entity who easily killed Lin Zhantian?
Not to ntion Ye Ling, even the two people by his side were not ones they could contend with.
