Chapter 460: Chapter 0460: A Conspiracy
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s face changed dramatically, especially after hearing the word "marshal," as everyone’s hearts leaped, and involuntarily, two words surfaced in their minds—Shadow Charm!
Shadow Charm had been a colossal entity in the underworld’s organization years ago but had been completely uprooted. Both the Charm King and Charm Queen, two highly skilled masters, had been killed, overturning Shadow Charm and establishing a new dominion!
And the person who overturned Shadow Charm was known as the Marshal.
The man in front of them, dressed in a white evening suit, was the Marshal, so it was no wonder everyone was shocked.
This was the one who could uproot Shadow Charm. His strength was unknown; those who knew had already gone to hell!
Being able to overturn Shadow Charm and kill both the Charm King and Charm Queen was enough to show that the Marshal was beyond their league. If he wanted to kill someone, perhaps everyone present would have to explain themselves here, right?
But why was the Marshal here?
And he looked so young.
Some Westerners, upon hearing someone addressing Ye Xunhuan as the Marshal, their faces immediately filled with unprecedented respect.
"Your Majesty, we did not recognize you, please forgive us!"
Suddenly, several people bowed deeply to Ye Xunhuan.
"Ignorance is not a sin," Ye Xunhuan said calmly.
Since his identity had been exposed, there was no point in concealing it anymore. Moreover, Ye Xunhuan knew that him being the Marshal was something that could be hidden temporarily, but not forever; it would eventually be exposed!
Moreover, he did not believe these people could live through this.
So having his identity exposed did not bother Ye Xunhuan; it was the person who exposed him that annoyed him.
After a brief moment of panic, many looked at Ye Xunhuan with burning eyes!
The Taiji Seal!
If one could get the Taiji Seal, they too could rise to power and become a hegemony.
At that moment, three figures slowly emerged from the darkness.
Two women and one man!
Both women, no matter which, were top-notch in terms of beauty and figure, highly seductive; but the man was quite ugly, not only covered in pockmarks but also with a slightly crooked mouth. What was more intolerable was that his nose seemed to have been bitten by something, clearly missing a chunk!
Upon seeing these three people, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth slowly curled into a smile; among them was someone he knew well—Qianhuan Lanqin!
"Marshal, long time no see!" Qianhuan Lanqin said with a smile as she looked at Ye Xunhuan.
"It indeed has been a few days; are you here to steal He Luo this time?"
"If the Marshal would give us the Taiji Seal, we wouldn’t care much about He Luo," Qianhuan Lanqin said with a smile.
"I would like to give you the Taiji Seal, but I don’t have it either, so it seems you’ll have to contest for He Luo," Ye Xunhuan said, shrugging his shoulders in resignation.
"Marshal, you play a good game, huh?" the man said slowly, his voice deathly cold and devoid of any emotion, and his presence emitted a chilling aura of death: "Wanting to make everyone slaughter each other..."
"Since you say I want them to slaughter each other, you decide how to handle it!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan said to Longzu Bodhi, "Give it to me!"
Longzu Bodhi hesitated, then somewhat reluctantly took out He Luo and gave it to Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan picked up He Luo and glanced at it for a moment, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, but soon they smoothed out again, and he threw He Luo directly at the man!
"I really don’t want to trouble myself; you deal with it."
"Marshal, you..." The man, whose face was already ugly, suddenly contorted into a fiendish look, as though he were a demon.
"Alright everyone, stop suspecting that I am plotting against He Luo. Now, He Luo is in his hands; go and ask him for it!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "If anyone thinks the He Luo I handed over is fake, then let a few women search Snow Maiden!"
"What are you really up to?"
"Shut up, don’t cause me trouble!" Ye Xunhuan glared at Dragon Ancestor Bodhi and said in a lowered voice.
"Marshal, you’re really not getting involved?"
"Well, do you really want me to get involved?" Ye Xunhuan retorted.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the man who had questioned him quickly shook his head.
"Alright, let someone search the body of the Snow Maiden so you don’t think I’m playing tricks with her."
Soon, a woman walked over to Dragon Ancestor Bodhi and searched her, then shook her head at everyone.
"Want to search me too?"
"We trust the Marshal!"
Who would dare to search Ye Xunhuan? That would just be asking for trouble.
Does someone like him need to lie so blatantly?
Although they also desired the Tai Chi Seal, they first had to assess their strength; lest they fail to obtain the Tai Chi Seal and He Luo is snatched away.
"Since this is the case, He Luo is in their hands; deal with it yourselves!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Just a friendly reminder, they are people from the Fusang divine realm and know the Five Elements Ninjutsu; don’t let them escape!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan dragged Dragon Ancestor Bodhi aside, lit a cigarette, and assumed the posture of watching a drama.
"What exactly are you doing, do you know that thing is mine..."
"Calm down." Ye Xunhuan soothed, "Do you really think that thing is He Luo?"
"Isn’t it?" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi asked doubtfully.
"Although I haven’t seen what He Luo looks like, I know the Tai Chi Seal. I can analyze from it that this thing is definitely not He Luo. I’m not sure what it is." Ye Xunhuan spoke softly, "It feels somewhat like the Xuan Stone!"
"The Islāmic sacred Xuan Stone?"
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded and said, "I have seen the Xuan Stone before, and it feels very similar. Moreover, the Xuan Stone was shattered into several pieces in the medieval period; perhaps this thing is one of the fragments!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s eyebrows slightly furrowed together.
If this thing is not He Luo but a Xuan Stone, then why had there been rumors that it was He Luo, and why were the details so convincing!
"This is a conspiracy!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi immediately seemed to realize something and said sternly to Ye Xunhuan, "A conspiracy targeting you!"
Ye Xunhuan snapped his fingers, "Clever. Who has seen what He Luo looks like?"
"No one knows, yet it’s been described so vividly. Don’t you find that odd?" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "If I’m not mistaken, this must be the doing of those three guys. They want to use He Luo to lure out the hidden masters of Huaxia to deal with me. After we wear each other out, they’ll then demand the Tai Chi Seal from me!"
"I wondered why this group of little devils suddenly became so compliant; turns out they had been brewing evil schemes. Now I really want to see how they intend to end this!"
