Capítulo 1568: Chapter 1553: I Will Hear It
“Senior Ling, if you dare harm my avatar, I’ll have Qianbi take on my appearance and make a trip to the Outer Sea of Five Immortals Island right now.”
The instant Ye Zhen’s sinister voice sounded, Ling Wangke’s palm froze just an inch above the forehead of Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar. The spiritual power he had just unleashed retreated like a tide.
Fury blazed in Ling Wangke’s eyes, and a chill surged up from his feet to his head.
Poisonous!
So poisonous!
Without Ye Zhen stating it, Ling Wangke could imagine his granddaughter Ling Qianbi assuming his appearance and making a trip to the Outer Sea of Five Immortals Island.
On Five Immortals Island, although many strong individuals harbor intentions of assassinating and robbing Di Kuohai, they must still consider the island’s rules.
Only those with divine skills to co and go without a trace would dare to secretly attempt to assassinate Di Kuohai on Five Immortals Island.
If Di Kuohai dared to appear openly in the Outer Sea of Five Immortals Island, Ling Wangke estimated that a gathering of a thousand would be no problem, and thousands was a strong possibility.
And they would co in groups to rob.
It’s human nature; you can acknowledge a neighbor who works hard for years to accumulate a fortune, only feeling envy without malicious intent.
But for soone who gains imnse wealth overnight, jealousy prevails, and given the chance, everyone wants a piece.
In such a scenario, even as a Dao Realm expert, Ling Wangke protecting his granddaughter completely unscathed under the siege of thousands of experts would be questionable.
“Boy, with such a venomous mind at your young age, be careful not to die young!” Pulling back his hand, Ling Wangke’s voice was full of anger.
“Attempting to strike at , old man, with such a temper, you better watch out for sudden death!”
Ye Zhen added, further provoking Ling Wangke, whose three corpse gods raged—had anyone else dared to say this to him, he would have torn them apart on the spot.
Frustrated, Ling Wangke turned away in anger.
“Senior Ling, I plan to take Qianbi to handle sothing. Do you want to hear it?” Ye Zhen looked at Ling Wangke with an ambiguous smile.
Imdiately, Ling Wangke covered his own ears, “Dream on, this ti, no matter what, I won’t be fooled by you.”
“But do you really have a choice?”
“Whether you listen or not, whether you go or not, I will go. Of course, as I’ve made a small wager for greater stakes, I must use all available forces, and Qianbi is indispensable.” After speaking, Ye Zhen nodded to Ling Qianbi, who obediently followed behind him.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, Master always acts with precision.” Passing by Ling Wangke, Ling Qianbi reassured him.
Watching the departing figures of Di Kuohai and Ling Qianbi, Ling Wangke sighed deeply and called out, “Wait, I want to listen!”
He knew that Di Kuohai always acted with care. Over these days, he had morized all the intelligence about Di Kuohai he could buy on Five Immortals Island.
So of it he had purchased at a significant price, such as the intelligence involving that eunuch Luv Rang and the total annihilation of his 18 elite subordinates, obtained through certain secret channels.
He naturally knew Di Kuohai acted with planning, but more so, he saw Di Kuohai’s actions as dancing on a knife’s edge.
Every move bore imnse risk, one mistake could an total failure.
He dared not gamble, nor was he willing to gamble, especially at the cost of his granddaughter’s life.
Half a quarter-hour later, Ling Wangke frowned again, “Changlin Trading House? Why provoke them? The master behind this trading house is no ordinary person.”
“It wasn’t I who provoked them; rather, that guy hasn’t stopped scheming against . Even two of the Five Blessings Inn staff have been bought off by him already.”
“Moreover, as a man, when beaten, I must strike back. Of course, without you, Senior, I wouldn’t dare take on Changlin Trading House at this ti; I do have so self-awareness!” Ye Zhen said.
There was one thing Ye Zhen did not ntion: two days ago, he received an urgent report from the Ruins Market of Dulong Island involving a familiar of Chu Zhao, an ancestor of the Seven Surnad clans of Dulong Island, inquiring into Di Kuohai and Sky Wing Trading Company’s details.
Had Chu Zhao not had his divine soul willingly report this, it would have gone completely unnoticed.
Nevertheless, Chu Zhao’s acquaintance was precisely from Changlin Trading House, having done business with the Seven Surnad clans of Dulong Island in the past.
Ling Wangke was infuriated upon hearing this, “So you planned to use all along and sched against ?”
“Why not use what’s freely available!”
“You…”
With a cold snort, Ling Wangke’s gaze turned venomous as he glared at Ye Zhen, “Boy, don’t take things too far!”
“The reason I’ve allowed you to use is because I cherish Qianbi and don’t want her hurt! If you constantly use Qianbi’s safety as a bargaining chip, I won’t hesitate to find soone to completely resolve you as a threat, even if it ans Qianbi spends her life seeking vengeance for you—it would be better than her ending up as a corpse in the wilderness!”
“I have always acted with extre discretion,” Ye Zhen replied.
“The last chance?” Ling Wangke asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled, “The last chance.”
“As for Qianbi’s current situation, I’m also unclear. About Qianbi’s temperant, I’m more aware. Since he wants to honor his past life’s oath and stay by your side, I can’t stop him.
Qianbi listens to you closely, marriage isn’t off the table, so I won’t ntion it again. I just hope you won’t leverage Qianbi’s safety again in the future.
Even if you do leverage Qianbi’s safety again, I won’t fall for it anymore.
If Qianbi were to encounter any misfortune, kid, don’t think you can survive alone.” This last sentence was spoken by Ling Wangke slowly and deliberately, while staring into Ye Zhen’s eyes.
Ye Zhen knew this was Ling Wangke setting the terms.
“You won’t find . If Qianbi really gets into trouble, I will imdiately hide in an unnoticed corner,” Ye Zhen laughed.
“Then you can hide for a lifeti until you die of old age!”
After these words, Ye Zhen and Ling Wangke exchanged a smile; one was a light chuckle, while the other a cold laugh!
In this manner, the two reached a mutual compromise, the last ti!
“Kid, since your target is Changlin Trading House’s Grand Steward Jie Lue, you must have a plan, right?”
To be honest, Ling Wangke was highly dedicated, having just sealed the deal, he began to participate in Ye Zhen’s revenge plan.
“That Jie Lue is practically a half-step Dao Realm existence. Even if I personally intervene, I can’t take him down quickly, let alone the fact that there are over ten late-stage Realm King experts and thirty mid-stage Realm King experts within the trading house,” Ling Wangke said.
“Senior Ling, how long would it take you to take down that Jie Lue?” Ye Zhen asked.
“According to what you said, to capture Jie Lue, at the fastest it would take a minimum of thirty breaths, not accounting for interference from other experts within Changlin Trading House.
Experts like Jie Lue surely have hidden life-saving killing moves, I estimate that even if I go all out, it would take about sixty breaths to seize him.
Moreover, the commotion would be quite large, quite large!”
Ling Wangke sharply stared at Ye Zhen, “Five Immortals Hall won’t give us that much ti; they are extrely committed to the trading house’s security.
I estimate that as soon as my aura completely explodes, those old ones from Five Immortals Hall would be here within five breaths. By then, you and I would both be trapped inside.
So, if you don’t have a perfect plan, I suggest you dismiss this thought! Even with my involvent, the success chance is practically zero.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen licked his lips bloodthirstily, “I need an opportunity!”
“I need you to create an opportunity for to strike.”
Ling Wangke’s brows furrowed, “Did I hear you correctly? You’ll strike? You lead the fight? You want to create an opportunity for you to act?”
“Indeed so!” Ye Zhen solemnly nodded, “Moreover, you are most suitable.”
“Oh?”
Ling Wangke revealed a look of surprise, “Looks like your plan is quite perfect. Tell , what kind of opportunity do you need to create?”
“Half a breath, at least let Jie Lue be distracted for half a breath, create a chance for to ambush him,” Ye Zhen blinked, “Your Ling Family finely hones Divine Soul Divine Power, I believe senior can easily accomplish this, right?”
“An ambush on Jie Lue?” Ling Wangke frowned deeply again, “I understand your thods, whether it’s Evil Punishing Divine Thunder or Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, they’re extrely domineering, but these thods can’t instantly kill a Ninth Stage Peak Realm King expert.
Can’t even critically injure!
I don’t understand what’s the point of your ambush?”
Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a confident smile, “What’s the point, senior will know then.”
“Didn’t you say it yourself? I’m always very discerning with my actions. I don’t seem like the kind of person who foolishly sends himself to die, do I?” Ye Zhen said.
At this, Ling Wangke was even more puzzled, he couldn’t grasp what use could an ambush opportunity have for Di Kuohai?
But looking at Di Kuohai, he truly didn’t seem dumb!
“Alright, I promise to give you at least half a breath ambush opportunity, but it won’t exceed one breath,” Ling Wangke said, “Furthermore, regarding other experts in Changlin Trading House, I can also help affect them, depending on their cultivation level, from one or two breaths to over ten breaths.”
“Then there’s no problem!” Ye Zhen snapped his fingers cheerfully, “Once I reach the designated location, senior can strike. After successfully casting, simply lightly shout the words ‘act’!”
Upon hearing this, Ling Wangke looked at Ye Zhen as if he were a fool, “How could you possibly hear if I lightly shout those words outside Changlin Trading House?”
“I will hear it.” As he spoke, Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar dispersed.
