Chapter 87: Countermeasures!
Early in the morning.
Ye Chen and the other two slept together in the inn.
Ye Chen was squeezed in the middle by the two of them. Eldest Senior Sister’s eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes were exposed. Her beautiful face was as if a fairy had descended from heaven.
Ye Chen smiled and pulled the hair on Eldest Senior Sister’s face behind her ears. Then, he got up and went to the window.
At this moment, a white fox jumped upstairs.
Little White was already used to this kind of scene and did not say anything.
“How is it?” Ye Chen smiled and looked at Little White and asked.
Little White did not transform. It spoke in the form of a white fox, “I have already asked the small demons in this city to lie in ambush all over the city. Even the slightest movement from the remaining five great families can not escape my sight.”
After Ye Chen heard this, he nodded.
However, he was not prepared to make a move today.
The enemies were in the open, he was in the dark.
He would let the enemies guess first. When they were exhausted and their defenses were weak, it would not be too late for him to make a move.
“Alright, keep an eye on their every move. If there are any problems, report to me immediately,” Ye Chen said indifferently.
“Yes!”
Little White left the inn.
At this moment, Little White could not help but feel that Ye Chen was not simple.
Logically speaking, her master was only a sixteen year old youth.
This youth was full of vigor and was impulsive in doing things.
However, her master was actually so mature in doing things. If it was someone else with master’s strength, they would definitely disregard everything and directly annihilate the seven great families of Sunset Cloud City.
However, master was so steady and had considered all the risks.
Such a young man was truly rare.
However, it was precisely because of this that at the beginning, Little White had only obeyed Ye Chen because of the master-servant contract she had signed with Ye Chen.
But now, she was sincerely following Ye Chen’s side.
Master had such talent and such a temperament. His future achievements would definitely be limitless. Following by Master’s side would definitely bring her even greater benefits.
…
City Lord Manor.
The remaining family heads of the Song, Lin, Zhu, Yang, and Xiao families gathered together once again.
Xiao Lie looked at the family heads of the four families and said indifferently, “I’m sure all of you have heard about what happened yesterday!”
At this moment, Song Lin, the head of the Song family, immediately said, “City Lord, the Zhang and Wang families have always been on good terms. Even if they were to fight, it wouldn’t be to the extent that both families would be completely annihilated. I’m afraid that a third party will interfere in this matter!”
Actually, everyone could see through this matter.
There must be someone who wanted to destroy the Zhang family and the Wang family.
That was not right. It was not just the Zhang family and the Wang family. This matter was clearly for the sake of the seven great families.
Xiao Lie sat on the main seat, his gaze was cold as he said, “It’s very obvious that the enemy came prepared this time. Moreover, the enemy is currently in the dark. We don’t know the identity of the enemy. So, everyone, tell me, who is the most likely enemy?”
At this moment…Zhu Wuneng, the family head of the Zhu family, opened his mouth and said, “Our seven great families haven’t made many enemies over the years. The only enemy we made was the Black Demon Sect two days ago, and the Xu family, which was wiped out by our seven great families more than twenty years ago!”
“Other than them, I can’t think of anyone who would want to cause trouble for our seven great families.”
“Furthermore, it could be someone outside the borders of Sunset Cloud City. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be anyone who could instantly kill so many Deva Realm experts from the Wang and Zhang Clans within the borders of Sunset Cloud City!”
At this moment, Song Lin opened his mouth and said, “That’s wrong. There really is such a person within the borders of Sunset Cloud City.”
Xiao Lie looked at Song Lin and asked, “Tell me, who has such an ability?”
“The founder of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land!” Song Lin said.
“Have you forgotten that there is still a remnant of the Xu family in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land!” Song Lin said.
Song Lin looked at them and said, “After we killed the Xu family, we didn’t clean it up. The remnant of the Xu family, Xu Qiuya, hid in the cabinet and escaped.
“Later, the Holy Mother of Immortal Destiny passed by and saved the remnant of the Xu family. I didn’t know that there was another remnant of the Xu family.
“But a few years ago, Yu Xing took a fancy to a woman in red in Sunset Cloud City. When I went to investigate her background, I found out that she was the remnant of the Xu family.”
Song Lin looked at everyone and continued, “I heard that the remnant of the Xu family has a high status in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Now, she has become the Chief Elder. With her status, it’s very likely that she will invite the Patriarch of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land out.
“Moreover, we set up a trap for the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. If we want to investigate this matter, it won’t be difficult.”
After Song Lin finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Lin Chengyuan looked at Song Lin and said, “Do you mean that the person who destroyed the Wang and Zhang families is the Patriarch of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land?”
Song Lin looked at everyone and said, “I only mentioned this possibility. After all, none of us know who destroyed the Wang and Zhang Families!”
At this moment, Xiao Lie nodded and said, “Song Lin’s words are polite. The probability of this matter being done by the Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land is very high.”
At this moment…Lin Chengyuan hurriedly said, “The Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land killed Mo Yunfei. He must be someone even stronger than Mo Yunfei. Moreover, none of us have seen this person before. City Lord, only the old great grandfather of your Xiao Clan can deal with him now. City Lord, please invite the old great grandfather to come out of seclusion and deal with this person!”
At this moment, Xiao Lie was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Chengyuan and asked, “Do you know where the Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land is?”
“Do you know where his next target is? If I invite my clan’s Grandmaster here and the enemy doesn’t appear, my clan’s Grandmaster will blame him. Will you bear the responsibility?”
“The one who is here is merely a guess made by the Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Can you be sure that he is the one who did it?”
Xiao Lie coldly looked at the Lin Clan and asked.
Lin Chengyuan looked at Xiao Lie, unable to speak.
Actually, even if the Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land did it, Xiao Lie would not invite his own clan’s Grandmaster.
The Xiao Clan’s Grandmaster was guarding the Xiao Clan, so the Xiao Clan was the safest. No one dared to touch the Xiao Clan.
Even if the Grandmaster of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land was only a Deva Realm expert previously and had just broken through the tribulation, he would not be a match for his own clan’s Grandmaster, who was at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
As long as the Grandmaster stayed in the Xiao Clan, he would be able to guarantee the safety of the Xiao Clan.
As for the other aristocratic families, although they were of the same spirit, a great disaster was about to befall them. Xiao Lie could only let them be safe.
Xiao Lie looked at everyone and said, “All of you go back first and strengthen your vigilance. If there is any movement, immediately report it. As long as you can draw out the enemy, I will be able to invite the Grandmaster to kill him!”
