"Could it really be a monster?" Ye Guichen paused for a mont, knowing it wasn't wise to linger here, and quickly led Gongyang Lang away first.
However, before leaving, Ye Guichen took another look at the cave.
The cave seed to have many entrances and exits around it, but it was unclear where they led.
But now, without understanding what the opponent was, recklessly searching could bring about fatal trouble.
Moreover, if even Gongyang Lang and Gui Tuo are wary of this thing, if it truly is a monster, it would be beyond what I can handle.
Back on the island in the lake's center, after Ye Guichen carefully inquired about the situation when Gongyang Lang was dragged into the cave, he inexplicably felt anxious.
According to Gongyang Lang's description, even if it were a giant python, it wouldn't frighten a Qi Refiner.
Could it really be a monster?
...
About six miles away from the island in the lake's center, there was a mansion.
The mansion looked quite ordinary, with nothing unusual.
At this mont, however, more than twenty figures in black clothing were inside the mansion.
They were all wearing night clothes, holding curved knives, with solemn expressions.
In front of them, Chu Huai Nan sat in the chair with a gloomy face.
He originally thought that it would be easier with fewer people, planning to sneak onto the island in the lake's center during the tournant to kidnap Ye Guichen, only to find Hua Xiangrong's subordinates discovered it quickly, even Hua Xiangrong intervened.
"Everyone, tomorrow the tournant will end, and there's a high probability that Feng Wuxiu will win. At that ti, King Qin might take away the Son of Nether Emperor. In such a mont, we absolutely cannot stand idly by!"
Chu Huai Nan coldly glanced over his elite subordinates, all of whom had reached the Innate Realm, the top talents.
"Tonight, it's not just us; many others will likely make a move to seize the Son of Nether Emperor. According to my previous investigation, the Son of Nether Emperor is imprisoned in the dungeon, so after we act tonight, we have a target: strive to capture the Son of Nether Emperor in one fell swoop and assist King Chu in completing his great endeavor, understand?"
"Understood!"
Dozens of subordinates answered consecutively.
Chu Huai Nan nodded, waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to make preparations.
The sa thing happened not only here but in many other places too.
However, King Qin's people were the exception.
After successive victories, Feng Wuxiu was already feeling triumphant.
He returned to where Housekeeper Hu was, lying down to rest.
Housekeeper Hu hurriedly walked in, smiling broadly: "Mr. Feng, this ti you've made great achievents. Who would have thought you'd be this formidable, defeating others without them having any chance to fight back? When you return, King Qin will surely reward you generously!"
Beside Housekeeper Hu was Du Yinian.
Du Yinian wasn't acting as Vice Captain; this ti, he naturally brought many people for Ye Guichen, the Son of Nether Emperor.
At the tournant, he was present and witnessed Feng Wuxiu's thods, naturally feeling very respectful.
Du Yinian politely cupped his hands towards Feng Wuxiu: "Mr. Feng indeed has great abilities. This ti, King Qin sending to assist Mr. Feng truly reflects remarkable foresight. However, there's sothing I wish to discuss with Mr. Feng."
He then nodded towards Housekeeper Hu.
Housekeeper Hu understood and quickly said, "Mr. Feng, although you've displayed your prowess these days, the other six kings' people likely won't let it go. Especially as I've heard this ti King Chu actually sent his brother Chu Huai Nan just to take the Son of Nether Emperor back. I worry that to achieve their goal, they might resort to any ans, not waiting for the tournant to end tomorrow before acting. If that's the case, we might end up with nothing."
Feng Wuxiu sat up, arrogant: "Hmph, what's there to fear about Chu Huai Nan? If they dare to act secretly, we won't stand by and do nothing either!"
"Exactly, exactly, so Lord Captain and I want to discuss with Mr. Feng what steps we should take next," Housekeeper Hu replied politely.
After all, Feng Wuxiu's skills were evident, his invincible prowess rare to match.
If a conflict really arises, they might have to rely on Feng Wuxiu.
Although Feng Wuxiu's skills were strong, he clearly wasn't very strategic, pondering for a mont before asking in return, "What do you propose then?"
Du Yinian and Housekeeper Hu had already planned it out.
Seeing Feng Wuxiu ask, Housekeeper Hu quickly said, "I think we can position people around the island in the lake's center. If anyone truly dares to act secretly, once they bring the Son of Nether Emperor out, we'll ambush and intercept; this way, we can reap benefits without completely falling out with Hua Xiangrong. Of course, our final tournant tomorrow will proceed as planned, in case the other six kings' people simply aren't capable of taking the Son of Nether Emperor, then we'll have the chance."
This plan seed quite perfect.
Regardless, they were determined to secure the Son of Nether Emperor.
Feng Wuxiu thought for a mont, seemingly having no objections: "Alright, I'll follow your plan. Just let know if there's anything you need to do."
Seeing Feng Wuxiu agree, Housekeeper Hu and Du Yinian were overjoyed, promptly saying, "Mr. Feng, just rest well, and we'll arrange everything else. You just need to be well-prepared for tomorrow's contest."
"Alright, no problem!" Feng Wuxiu agreed.
After Housekeeper Hu and Du Yinian left, though their brows relaxed, they tightened once more.
"Lord Captain, I heard Fang Tiancheng was caught?" Housekeeper Hu asked.
Du Yinian nodded: "Yes, he was caught. But is there still a need to use Fang Tiancheng to exchange people at Jixiang Restaurant?"
Housekeeper Hu sighed bitterly: "Lord Captain, now I suddenly don't want to beco enemies with the Son of Nether Emperor. You've seen Mr. Feng's skills; he's been practically invincible for days, yet the day he went to Jixiang Restaurant to demand people, he still returned defeated. What does this prove? That demon is too terrifying, even Feng Wuxiu isn't a match, and that demon is under the Son of Nether Emperor. If a real fight breaks out, I'm afraid Mr. Feng's card might not work too well either."
Du Yinian furrowed his brows even deeper: "You an the Son of Nether Emperor isn't as incapable as we imagined?"
Housekeeper Hu nodded: "Yes, although King Qin is determined to have him, intending to command the princes with him as leverage, I'm now sowhat worried. Even if we take him back, it's uncertain if King Qin can suppress him."
Du Yinian sighed: "That wouldn't be our concern; we're just following orders. Besides, no matter how strong Ye Guichen is, he's only in his twenties; how could he possibly be a match for King Qin? Hmph, I have great faith in King Qin; as long as we can bring the Son of Nether Emperor back, King Qin can unite the Seven Kings."
Housekeeper Hu wasn't so optimistic, but seeing Du Yinian's spirited deanor, could only change the topic: "Lord Captain, please hand Fang Tiancheng to . I'll go to Jixiang Restaurant overnight and exchange for Liu Fang and the others, no matter what. They're King Qin's secret agents; we cannot let them be disheartened!"
Du Yinian had no objections, although he was slightly disgruntled by Housekeeper Hu's cowardice, he nodded: "Alright, anwhile, I'll have people keep an eye on the lake's center island; once there's any movent, we'll strike imdiately!"
