Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Brilliant Tactics
Ye Xunhuan was able to think of this, so naturally, others could as well.
Not everyone is brainless, nor can everyone be swayed by some so-called groundless rumors!
Especially the real experts, like Ye Xunhuan, who wouldn’t believe anything without solid evidence.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan felt as if he understood why Xie Guangyi and Wu Mei were so composed, and why the people from Hidden Dragon still hadn’t appeared!
Could it be that Xie Guangyi and his group had reached some sort of agreement with these little devils?
Just then, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "The Mysterious Stone is quite a treasure, legend says it can predict the future and cleanse sins from a person, purifying their heart..."
In Islam, the Mysterious Stone is said to have fallen from the sky during the era of Adan and Hawwa, where initially it was a pure white rock that gradually turned black due to the sins of humanity.
And in the Islamic Quran, Adan is the first man to appear, with Hawwa as his wife.
The corner of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily, damn it, there are plenty of good things out there, does that mean you have to claim them all as your own!
Moreover, given the current situation, wouldn’t getting involved be like asking for trouble?
Even if the Mysterious Stone really could predict the future as the legends say, it had shattered into several pieces during the medieval period. What’s the use of holding a broken piece? As for its other functions, don’t even mention those!
The most important point is, do you even know how to use it?
"Big sis, can we stop coveting it?" Ye Xunhuan said with a curl of his lip: "They don’t even know there’s a piece here, otherwise, tsk tsk..."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t continue, but the implication was clear—if you, a foreigner, take it away, who else would they have a problem with if not you?
But Ye Xunhuan was also puzzled, who had actually gotten hold of this piece of the Mysterious Stone?
The people of the Divine Realm?
If it were them, to reveal it now for a plan that nobody knows whether it will succeed in countering oneself—the cost would be too great, right?
"Don’t you be coveting it. Let me tell you, if you go looking for death for no reason, I really won’t save you this time!" Ye Xunhuan warned hastily upon seeing Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s restless demeanor.
Dragon Ancestor Bodhi let out a reluctant cold snort: "You think I’m so keen on you saving me?"
"So you mean, I’m really being a fool here?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily again: "Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, if I save you next time..."
"What about it?"
"I... I..." Ye Xunhuan bit his lip, as if he had made some significant decision: "I’ll just suffer a bit and let you have your way with me once!"
While Ye Xunhuan and Dragon Ancestor Bodhi were bickering, the entire forest had already plunged into a ferocious battle.
They hadn’t followed Ye Xunhuan’s earlier suggestion to have a tournament, but instead were besieging Qianhuan Lanqin and his companions. Yet, Qianhuan Lanqin and his comrades were no pushovers, leveraging their ninjutsu to vanish and reappear quickly.
The ugliest of the men was particularly terrifying, his long saber seeming like a specter’s hand reaching out from hell itself, wildly reaping one living soul after another!
Ye Xunhuan watched the fight before him, puffing on a cigarette, like a spectator.
"Didn’t you say you were collaborating with the Empress?" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "How come I haven’t seen the Empress then?"
"Could it be that you two didn’t work together?"
Logically, under such circumstances, Liu Qingcheng wouldn’t be absent. Yet, this woman hadn’t appeared at all, which really puzzled Ye Xunhuan!
"We’re operating separately, I don’t even know where she is right now."
"I’m right here!"
A chilling voice suddenly rang out beside Ye Xunhuan and the companion known as Dragon Ancestor Bodhi.
Immediately, a stunning figure appeared.
The woman was dressed in a black lace camisole, tightly accentuating her exquisite body with a white pair of body-hugging pants—her curves were prominently displayed, incredibly alluring!
Like Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, she wore a mask on her face, concealing her features.
"Where were you earlier? I almost died, do you even know that, you backstabber..." Upon seeing Liu Qingcheng’s appearance, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi immediately voiced his displeasure.
Liu Qingcheng snorted coldly, "If you can’t hold your own, don’t blame your teammates. I’m the unlucky one here, ending up with a teammate as useless as a pig..."
"You..."
"Stop!" Ye Xunhuan interjected, unable to bear the sight of the two seemingly ready to start a fight.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi let out a cold huff, looking quite dissatisfied.
"Did something happen?" Ye Xunhuan asked, looking at Liu Qingcheng.
Based on Ye Xunhuan’s understanding of Liu Qingcheng, she would never disappear without good reason!
Liu Qingcheng nodded, "I encountered some unexpected issues."
Liu Qingcheng didn’t specify what had happened, so Ye Xunhuan didn’t ask further.
"That thing wasn’t He Luo, did you know that?"
"I never said it was!"
"Then you..."
Dragon Ancestor Bodhi had just started to speak when Liu Qingcheng cut him off, "Do you think everyone is as dumb as you, all brawn and no brain!"
Saying this, Liu Qingcheng gave Dragon Ancestor Bodhi a look of utter disdain!
"A mission?"
"I’ll discuss it privately with you!"
Listening to the enigmatic exchange between Ye Xunhuan and Liu Qingcheng, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s mind was suddenly filled with countless doubts. What on earth were these two discussing?
What secret were they keeping from him?
Just as Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was about to ask, the scene of carnage before him suddenly shifted, and all those still alive ceased their fighting in an instant!
Every one of them looked menacingly towards Ye Xunhuan.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan’s expression subtly changed.
"Marshal, I must say you truly are intelligent, so much so that it’s frightening!" The hideously ugly man who appeared with Qianhuan Lanqin stared straight at Ye Xunhuan and said, "But no matter how clever you are, what does it matter if you’ve still fallen right into my trap?"
Ye Xunhuan glanced at the others, then focused his gaze on the man, "Are you all together?"
"What do you think?"
"Nice move, very clever. I truly didn’t expect that," Ye Xunhuan admitted sincerely.
He hadn’t anticipated at all that the enemy would play such a trick, attempting to lure others out to deal with him. Although it had failed, these people turned out to be in league with each other. After dealing with the others, Ye Xunhuan found himself surrounded!
"Marshal, just give me the Taiji Seal, and I promise that I will let you go!"
