Chapter 1253: Chapter 1131: The Fish Takes the Bait
The mission in Tianyuan City has been basically completed, and on top of that, Ye Fan wants to return as soon as possible to create an impression of urgency in leaving, making it appear to the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect that there is no ti to ponder.
Therefore, under the guidance of Elder Shen Xin, Ye Fan and the others canceled their room at the tavern, packed their things, and headed directly to the City Lord Mansion.
Before leaving, they naturally needed to bid farewell to City Lord Lei Bikuan to let him know as well as indirectly inform the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect of this ssage.
Soon, Ye Fan and his party arrived at the City Lord Mansion. Lei Bikuan personally ca out to greet them and instructed preparations for a farewell banquet in honor of Ye Fan and the others.
The relationship between Lei Bikuan and Shen Xin was good, but this ti, following Ye Fan’s suggestion, they did not stay for the feast. Instead, they briefly explained the situation to Lei Bikuan and took their leave.
Lei Bikuan was very puzzled by Ye Fan’s choice. In his view, even if Ye Fan didn’t join the Jueluo Empire, he would definitely choose either the Treasure Pavilion or Spirit Manor.
After all, even the weakest among the three major forces, the Jueluo Empire is much stronger than the Xuanwu Sect, and they can protect him from revenge by the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect.
However—
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan didn’t choose any of them but opted to remain in the Xuanwu Sect, which was the most perplexing aspect for him.
Now that Ye Fan did not choose any, and chose to stay in the Xuanwu Sect, the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect no longer have concerns and will definitely take action.
In such a situation, Ye Fan and his people made such a grand departure instead of leaving silently. What are they up to?
Lei Bikuan did not inquire further but felt that this matter was not simple.
Although he did not know what support Ye Fan and his people had, he vaguely felt that this was a conspiracy, only he didn’t know what this conspiracy exactly was.
Lei Bikuan still felt very regretful that Ye Fan did not choose to pledge allegiance to the Jueluo Empire.
He himself was part of the Jueluo Empire’s royal family, and naturally hoped for the empire’s growing strength. Ye Fan’s talent and potential were undoubtedly excellent.
Losing such a talent to the empire made him regretful, but he had no way to change it, as it was ultimately Ye Fan’s choice that needed to be respected.
Zuo Fengshan was even more vexed. As the envoy of the empire, while monitoring this competition, he was also tasked with recruiting talents for the empire.
Watching such an excellent talent slip away from right under his nose, he was unable to retain him.
He felt guilty for the trust and great responsibility bestowed upon him by His Majesty the King, but now he had no ans to change the situation. In terms of competitiveness, the gap between the Jueluo Empire and massive entities like the Treasure Pavilion and Spirit Manor is too great.
After bidding farewell to Lei Bikuan, Ye Fan and his party, led by Shen Xin, left the city directly, and after exiting the city, flew towards the Xuanwu Sect.
Shen Xin and the others were already aware of Ye Fan’s plan, and having seen the two powerful Forbidden Artifacts, their confidence solidified.
This is also why Shen Xin followed Ye Fan’s advice to leave Tianyuan City swiftly.
Indeed, it was safe in Tianyuan City, with no risk of retaliation, but it would also give the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect’s Elder Jiang Qingfeng ti to plan.
Only by leaving quickly could they leave Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng with no ti to think, ensuring a smooth trap for Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng.
He firmly believed that Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng would stake everything and would not allow them to return safely to the Xuanwu Sect.
Once they made it back to the Xuanwu Sect, it would be too difficult for Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng to enact revenge, with an ambush mid-route being their best chance of success.
Ye Fan had already assessed their strength thoroughly; the Chu Family only had their Family Head Chu Yuankong left with fighting capacity, while Chu Feng was a total invalid, one that could be ignored outright.
As for the Tianyuan Sect, they were entirely wiped out, leaving only the Supre Elder Jiang Qingfeng, but both were formidable at the Peak of the Holy Embryo Realm, equaling Shen Xin in cultivation.
In Ye Fan’s estimation, if Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng execute their plan, if the two acted together, one could entangle Shen Xin while the other could easily kill all four of Ye Fan’s people.
Then, they could join forces to kill Shen Xin, leaving no evidence of their deeds. By then, even if Tong Tianhao did not want to let it go, he would have no ans to do anything.
Whoosh!
Leaving Tianyuan City, Shen Xin directly activated the Cloud Boat, which expanded against the wind, and all five of them sat upon it.
Shen Xin maneuvered the Cloud Boat while cautiously probing around, as the Cloud Boat was not extrely fast.
“Ye Zi, do you think the old geezer from the Chu Family and that old coffin-dweller from the Tianyuan Sect will pursue us?”
Shen Tu blinked his small eyes and asked Ye Fan. He was soone who couldn’t stay idle, even on the Cloud Boat he couldn’t sit still, and felt uncomfortable if he didn’t talk.
“I think they will. Junior Brother Ye killed so many of their disciples, and now without any force to protect him, I would find it strange if they didn’t co!”
Before Ye Fan could speak, Zhang Taiyi, who rarely spoke, surprisingly voiced his thoughts, and his voice was extrely calm, devoid of any hint of tension.
Ye Fan had given them confidence, ensuring that even if Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng pursued them, the outco would leave no doubt.
“I also think they will definitely pursue us, but they might not follow us directly, and could rather intercept us midway. Our speed is not extre, and they have ti to set an ambush ahead after getting the news.”
Tong Qianchen also expressed her judgnt. Although she knew there would be no danger, she was still a bit nervous. After all, facing two strong people at the Peak of Holy Embryo Realm with strength equivalent to Elder Shen Xin, a little carelessness could lead to a disaster.
Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “I’m just afraid they won’t co. Don’t worry, they definitely won’t miss this good opportunity.”
Ye Fan had an extrely precise grasp of people’s minds, completely understanding the two’s intentions, not worrying about them not taking the bait.
As long as Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng are eliminated, it will deal a heavy blow to the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect, then slowly deal with them afterward.
Sooner or later, the entire Tianyuan State will have only the Xuanwu Sect ruling. If the Qing Xuan Sect is sensible, they can stay a bit longer. If not, just destroy them directly.
Shen Xin did not participate in the discussion but listened quietly, while expanding his Divine Sense to monitor all movents around.
Although he knew there wouldn’t be any danger, Shen Xin was still a bit nervous because he was unsure when and where the Chu Family and Tianyuan Sect people would set an ambush.
Hmm?
At this mont, Shen Xin suddenly sensed a murderous aura ahead, imdiately slowing down the Cloud Boat, cautiously flying forward.
It was several thousand miles from Tianyuan City, with a vast mountain range below, desolate and uninhabited, the perfect battlefield.
No matter how big a battle occurs here, no one else would know about it. Shen Xin admired their choice of location, and also greatly admired Ye Fan’s judgnt.
Ye Fan had said earlier that once they chose to intercept him, it would definitely be far away from Tianyuan City, and not nearby, as that would easily be discovered by others.
Tianyuan Sect and the Chu Family are strong forces within Tianyuan State. If such actions were spread by others, it would be a fatal blow to their family and sect’s reputation.
Therefore, Ye Fan concluded that the best ambush spot would be in the sky above the vast forests thousands of miles away, and he was indeed right.
“Truly, the mountain doesn’t move, but the water does. I didn’t expect we’d et again so soon. Why are you all in such a hurry to leave?!”
Just as Shen Xin slowed down, he quickly saw Tianyuan Sect Elder Jiang Qingfeng and Chu Family Master Chu Yuankong appearing in front of him.
Behind them were many disciples from both sects, including Chu Feng, nacingly blocking their path in a fan shape.
“Jiang Qingfeng, what is the aning of this?”
While admiring Ye Fan’s precision in judging human nature, Shen Xin imdiately stood on the Cloud Boat, directly activating the Defensive Spiritual Artifact, protecting Ye Fan and the others.
Shen Tu, Zhang Taiyi, Tong Qianchen, and Ye Fan also activated their Defensive Spiritual Artifacts, cautiously standing ready.
Of course, it was all an act, preditated by Ye Fan, first creating a complacent atmosphere to mislead the opponent.
Letting them mistakenly believe there was no preparation on their side, preparing for a sudden assault.
“What do you an? Shen, you’re a smart person, can’t you see?”
Jiang Qingfeng had no imdiate intention of attacking. Anyway, the prey wouldn’t escape, so why not let them taste a bit of fear and despair?
“Jiang Qingfeng, Chu Yuankong, I really didn’t expect you to be such despicable and shaless people. Your disciples were outmatched and died in a competition, and they deserved it. Yet you shalessly ambush a few juniors. You’ve disgraced our generation!”
Shen Xin reprimanded Chu Yuankong and Jiang Qingfeng sharply, while displaying a bit of tension and panic to deceive the opponents.
“Shut up, Shen, today is your death day! If all of you die, who would know what happened today? Rest assured, we will handle the scene properly, no one will suspect us.”
Chu Yuankong’s face was livid, his gaze bypassing Shen Xin, directly looking at Ye Fan. His hatred for Ye Fan was extre, vowing to kill him for the revenge of his family’s disciples and son.
At this ti, Chu Feng stepped out from the crowd, riding on a gigantic Ancient War Chariot.
With Chu Yuankong’s protection, even with no cultivation, Chu Feng could still move freely in the air.
“Scum Ye, and now you have your day too??”
Chu Feng stared fiercely at Ye Fan, his eyes like a venomous snake, like a wolf, ruthless and brutal, filled with deep-seated hatred, eager to tear Ye Fan to pieces!
