“Ye Wushuang!”
Qin Taxying gazed at Ye Wushuang, spewing a mouthful of blood. A gaping hole the size of a bowl marred his chest, empty and lifeless.
“Liu Guangyao was not speaking nonsense. If the three of us are dead, you can expect the Five Great Clans to come for you!”
Ye Wushuang leaned down, looking at the disheveled and desperate Qin Taxying, and couldn’t help but laugh. “So, you’re saying… I should let you go?”
Qin Taxying continued, “The death of one Liu Guangyao might still be reversible, but with both of us gone… that’s three major figures from three powerful clans dead. Do you have any idea what consequences that will bring?”
“Ye Wushuang, I promise you, you can develop the Ye Clan. But you must swear never to oppose the Five Clans again. I assure you, your Ye Clan will be well-provided for in the capital!”
“Your promise?”
Holding the Tianya Sword, Ye Wushuang looked at Qin Taxying and burst into laughter.
“What do you have to offer as a guarantee?”
“Not just you, even Qin Taxying—what can he guarantee?”
The tip of the sword slowly approached Qin Taxying’s neck, and Ye Wushuang said calmly, “Your promises mean nothing to me. Moreover…”
“Since when have I ever needed your guarantees?”
*Thud*
The sword pierced through Qin Taxying’s neck, and blood gushed out. Qin Taxying stared in disbelief at the young man before him, his eyes wide with astonishment.
On the other side, Xiao Demao remained silent. As Ye Wushuang approached him, the man in the purple robe scratched his head and said, “My lord, I accidentally injured him too severely. This guy is already dead…”
“Dead is dead!”
Ye Wushuang sheathed the Tianya Sword and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.
At that moment, the three men finally removed their veils and hoods, revealing their true identities—Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian.
“My lord, how did you know the Five Great Clans would launch an attack?” Wang Pengyuan asked curiously.
Ye Wushuang had informed Ye Yunzhe of the matter, and upon returning to the Ye Clan from the Qingyun Academy, Ye Yunzhe had discussed it with Wang Pengyuan and the others.
Like a mantis catching a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but think of Chu Qingcheng and continued, “Since I’ve already killed Liu Yiyu, it’s only natural for the Five Great Clans to make a move. Before, I was just at the Condensation Pulse stage, and they thought I couldn’t cause much trouble. But now, things are different…”
“Moreover, the recent issues with my health have caused a strong reaction from the academy and the royal family. The Five Great Clans must have felt the urgency of the situation…”
Wang Pengyuan immediately said, “So, my lord, you knew the Five Great Clans would seize any opportunity to attack you!”
“No…”
“Er…”
Ye Wushuang clarified, “It was Chu Qingcheng who told me to be careful. She might have learned from some channel that the Five Great Clans were planning to strike at me.”
“I see…”
Ye Wushuang looked at the three men and said, “Hang the bodies of Qin Taxying, Liu Guangyao, and Xiao Demao at the three most bustling street intersections in the capital.”
“You three must also be careful on your way back.”
“Now that the poison is gone, if you can recover to the level of the Ten Thousand Methods realm as soon as possible, then I will truly be safe.”
Wang Pengyuan immediately patted his chest and said, “My lord, rest assured, they might be slower, but I’m almost there…”
Xu Wenyuan retorted, “Forget it, stop boasting. I can now set up a primary level-four spirit array. I’m not afraid of the early stage of the Ten Thousand Methods realm!”
“Setting up that level-four spirit array takes a lot of time. A true Ten Thousand Methods realm cultivator wouldn’t give you that time,” Wang Pengyuan argued.
“I won’t set it up in advance?”
The two immediately started bickering.
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh.
Lei Chengtian asked, “My lord, what are you laughing at?”
Ye Wushuang patted the three men on the shoulder and said with a smile, “You three… remind me of the past. Back then, you were always quarreling like this, keeping me busy all day. It was annoying, but also very happy…”
“Now, Nan Gongyan, Nan Gongqing, Yu Ke, and the others are gone. Fortunately, you are still here.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Fortunately, you are still here.”
In the quiet and dark alley, Ye Wushuang’s figure suddenly appeared.
Looking around, everything was pitch black…
The night had deepened.
Ye Wushuang headed towards the Ye Mansion, but tonight, the entire capital was destined to be an extraordinary night.
In the Qingyun Pavilion of the capital, Qing Mengli lay lazily on a jade couch covered with smooth silk satin. She wore a loose nightgown that accentuated her graceful and charming figure.
Her slender legs, like pieces of white jade, were tantalizingly beautiful. She held a wine glass, took a sip, and the wine trickled down her snowy neck, making one want to lick it clean.
“What do you mean, ‘he’s gone’?”
Qing Mengli put down her wine glass and looked at the three figures outside the screen, her tone calm and composed.
A voice trembled, “My… my lord, I don’t know. We followed Ye Gongzi as instructed by the princess, but we didn’t dare to get too close. Then… Ye Gongzi entered an alley, and he… he just vanished…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qing Mengli’s jade-like hand clenched slightly, and a terrifying spiritual energy seemed to emanate from her fingertips.
“Princess!”
Suddenly, another figure appeared outside the screen, kneeling on one knee and respectfully saying, “Ye Gongzi has been found!”
