"Then what do you think Ye Haochuan should be like?" Ye Haochuan asked with a faint smile, showing no trace of fear or panic on his face.
"I don’t know if Ye Haochuan wants to make it to the high ranks of Xuann, but I think he’s soone with guts and caution. But when I look at you, all I see is recklessness."
The voice from above gradually descended, and a man in his forties, with hair neatly combed, slowly landed in front of Ye Haochuan.
This man’s complexion was the standard pale of the Blood Clan, yet he seed exceptionally spirited.
Most terrifyingly, his cultivation was half a notch stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul Peak.
Ye Haochuan had seen many experts before, and this man’s aura was nothing less than that of Elder ng from the Secret Realm. Though still slightly weaker compared to Ye Hao, an average Nascent Soul Peak expert would struggle to contend even one against three.
Apart from him, the three people who had appeared earlier, two n and one woman, with only one at Nascent Soul Late Stage, had all reached Nascent Soul Peak level.
These four individuals could easily ensure Ye Hao’s defeat, even if ambushed.
"Not good, Young Master Ye is in danger!" Zhang Wei’s anxious voice ca from the alley Ye Haochuan had just traversed.
They had hurried here as fast as possible, afraid Ye Haochuan would encounter danger, but they were still one step too late, allowing him to be surrounded.
He wanted to bring people forward, but the passage had already been occupied by the Blood Clan, so breaking through required defeating them first.
However, since the Blood Clan had deliberately sent people to block the passage, how could they easily be defeated?
The alley was narrow, even if a group of pigs were placed there for Zhang Wei to slaughter, it would take plenty of ti, let alone a group of cultivators from the Evil Sect.
Zhang Wei struggled in battle for a while, realizing he couldn’t break through, making his heart anxious.
Boom boom~
A sudden noise ca from above the stone chamber, as if soone was attacking.
Zhang Wei’s face revealed a trace of delight, secretly praising Ye Haochuan’s clever arrangents, as there were four hundred people above who could break through the overhead soil and rocks and co down to assist when danger arose.
Even though the distance to the surface was over a hundred ters, such a task was easily manageable for a cultivator.
Yet in the next mont, the collision sound above suddenly diminished; so sounds continued intermittently, but they no longer seed like an effort to break through, rather like a battle occurring above.
"Haha, don’t hope anyone is coming to save you. The people above have been blocked by those I arranged!"
The middle-aged man laughed heartily and said, "Kid, your ambitions are too grand, with only three thousand people daring to split into so many teams. If you hadn’t separated your forces, I’d only have the option to flee. But now, with multiple divided forces, I can easily concentrate my troops to first wipe you out here, then eliminate the others."
Ye Haochuan’s face still showed little emotion as he calmly spoke, "You must be Duke Bosi, right?"
"Indeed, it’s !" The middle-aged man chuckled in response.
"Do you really think a reckless person can win so many battles?" Ye Haochuan inquired.
Duke Bosi’s smile froze, frowning as he asked, "What do you an?"
Ye Haochuan smiled faintly, choosing not to answer, but turned to look at the other three individuals, "Judging by their appearances, they don’t seem like they’re willing to surrender!"
Duke Bosi was slightly startled and asked, "Did you know earlier that it was a trap?"
"Do you think I would believe, for such a crucial port, you’d only send three fools incapable of alerting to guard it?"
Ye Haochuan sneered, "I must say, your story was well-crafted, even I almost believed it."
"How did you discover it? Just because those three didn’t send an alert?" Duke Bosi was puzzled.
"Of course not!" Ye Haochuan laughed, "Also because I discovered a hidden cara at that location, it reminded of sothing I had overlooked. If you can install caras in the alley, how could you not have them in the underground fortress?"
Ye Haochuan indeed overlooked this before. In the underground fortress, he only searched for traces of the Blood Clan, not concerning himself with the presence of caras.
Later in the alley when he encountered those three, he found it odd and thus checked the surroundings carefully, indeed finding an extrely hidden, tiny cara.
This cara, as small as an ant, coupled with the dim alley lighting, was extrely hard to spot. Only after noticing this miniature cara did Ye Haochuan realize they had long exposed their location.
Since the Blood Clan had discovered them earlier, they would either send people to resist or promptly retreat. The fact that the Blood Clan sent those three, pretending to want to surrender, made it evident this was a trap.
"According to your script, the next step would have been for us to cease attacks, and send soone to liaise about surrendering to you. Then you’d pretend to hesitate, agreeing to surrender. Later, you’d seize the opportunity once we let down our guard, draw us into a trap, silently killing everyone..." Ye Haochuan mused with a playful smile.
The more Ye Haochuan spoke, the more solemn Duke Bosi’s expression beca. He grit his teeth, "You indeed are very clever, almost guessing everything correctly!"
I’m just curious, since you’ve seen through everything, why would you foolishly co here alone and give us such an opportunity? Even if you counteracted, it would have been better than your current situation, right?"
"The reason I didn’t counteract was because I didn’t want this play to go according to your script. Not revealing everything ensures your group of cowards wouldn’t simply flee," Ye Haochuan said with a dismissive smile.
"So you deliberately acted solo, to lure us into ambushing you?" Duke Bosi asked with a peculiar expression.
"Exactly, and it appears my plan succeeded!" Ye Haochuan replied with a mischievous grin.
"I don’t know whether you’re too ignorant or overly confident. Do you think you, as a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator, can contend with the four of us?"
Duke Bosi seed to feel insulted, his expression turned grim as he said, "I know you defeated a Heavenly God, but you achieved it by rallying tens of thousands, with the Seven Kills Formation playing a crucial role."
Yet don’t forget, now you’re all alone. Not to ntion tens of thousands, even the Seven Kills Formation you can’t perform; what makes you so arrogant to think you can fight four people alone?"
"Simply because I am Ye Haochuan!" Ye Haochuan’s lips curled into an intriguing smile.
