LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 199: The Sparrow at the Back!
The person reporting to the headset was none other than Zhou Yao, the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Battle Zone!
"That's good to hear, but such an exciting scene, I should be there to enjoy it!" Zhou Yao's face revealed a wicked smile, "Master Matsumoto, if you capture Yu Linglong alive, make sure not to kill her so hastily. Leave her for me to savor... This damned woman, she has ruined so many of my plans, and she even openly declares she will continue to marry into the Ye Family, always causing trouble..."
"Haha! Rest assured, Lord Zhou, if we can capture her alive, we will certainly keep her for you... Solving Great Xia's Number One Valkyrie will be a great merit for our Black Clothes Society, and when Lord Zhou comes to Dongying, we will arrange all the procedures smoothly for you!"
"That sounds excellent. Just a reminder, Master Matsumoto must not take this lightly! Although I have placed my legitimate followers around Yu Linglong, for some reason her strength has now reached the Martial Venerable Realm, which makes her a bit difficult to handle!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yao watched Yu Linglong leave with her followers, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "Yu Linglong! Heaven had a path you did not take, hell has no door and yet you come. This time don't blame me!"
Yu Linglong is not only Great Xia's Number One Valkyrie, but also the spiritual symbol of Great Xia.
Zhou Yao's mission this time was more because Yu Linglong stood on the side of the Ye Family, and her continued commitment to marry into the Ye Family had too great an impact.
On the Ye Family's side, Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng had exerted so much force to suppress that fool and the old man from the Ye Family, but they hadn't made much progress, instead repeatedly losing their own followers.
The higher-ups were already very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng.
Failing to suppress the Ye Family, the Su Family, and the Qing Family would make the Ye Family's arch-enemies lose face, and their supporters would waver.
So, if temporarily unable to deal with the Ye Family, then suppress those legitimate supporters of the Ye Family.
"Everyone, follow my command, we take a detour! After the Black Clothes Society and Yu Linglong have fought to the death, we will enter the fray!"
A shadow of gloom emerged in Zhou Yao's eyes!
"Additionally, inquire where the people from the Blood Demon Gate are now. Have them gather at the coordinates I provided before taking action!"
Although he indeed planned to go to the scene and take action, he wasn't foolish enough to rush to the front and be cannon fodder.
With Yu Linglong's strong combat power, she would definitely fight with all her might in a desperate situation. It wouldn't be worth it to risk his own life carelessly.
After dealing with Yu Linglong, the next step would be to take care of that old man and the fool from the Ye Family.
Actually, Zhou Yao looked down on the complaints of Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng.
Isn't he just a fool?
Is he as difficult to deal with as they say?
Deploying so many people, and none of them can match Ye Fan? Even the arrangements in Cloud City were all uprooted?
...
"Zhou Yao! Humph! It's time I settled the total account with you!"
From the plane heading to the Xuanwu Battle Zone from Flower Capital, Ye Fan looked at the information about Zhou Yao on his phone, his face darkening.
He had just participated in killing his own second brother, and now he wants to lay hands on his wife.
Humph!
As long as I am alive, none of you will lay a finger on a single hair of my wife.
As he spoke, Ye Fan touched the several talismans in his pocket.
When Yu Linglong left Cloud City, Ye Fan had given her several Rune Talismans. While presenting the Rune Talismans to Yu Linglong, Ye Fan had some clever ideas in mind.
He had given her Mother-Child Talismans!
With these talismans, Ye Fan could detect any situation concerning Yu Linglong immediately.
Now, judging by the situation with the talismans, everything seemed to be fine with Yu Linglong. No abnormalities with the talismans meant that she was temporarily out of danger.
Ye Fan's hand movements triggered fluctuations in Qi Force, and following the heritage within the dragon-patterned ring, he reinforced the intricate patterns on the Mother-Child Talismans once again.
With such Mother-Child Talismans, they could influence each other.
He hoped that in this way, should Yu Linglong encounter any danger, the power in the talismans could offer some resistance.
"Young Master Ye, a call from the Commander of the Xuanwu Battle Zone!" The maid by his side handed the phone to Ye Fan, casting an inquiring glance at him.
It was indeed a call from Gu Feng, the Commander of the Xuanwu Battle Zone.
In those years, when Ye Fan was only fifteen, he secretly went to the Southeast Border Region on a mission and by chance saved Gu Feng's life! It was also then that Gu Feng recognized Ye Fan's potential and surreptitiously recruited him into the Xuanwu Battle Zone, even granting him the privileges of the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Xiao Fan! You've sure kept a low profile; had it not been for Guo Fei's report, I would have thought you had really lost your wits!" As soon as the call connected, Gu Feng immediately expressed his astonishment over the phone.
Back in Cloud City, Princess Yu's uncle had intended to move against her father and even mobilized the city's defenses. It was Guo Fei who discovered Ye Fan's identity in time and prevented a conflict.
From that moment on, Guo Fei reported Ye Fan's situation to Gu Feng, and Gu Feng immediately figured out that Ye Fan was feigning stupidity on purpose.
"Old Brother Gu Feng, long time no see! Have you seen the situation I sent you just now?" Ye Fan's tone was somewhat grave. "Zhou Yao, as the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Battle Zone, actually colluded with Dongying, attempting to assassinate Great Xia's Number One Valkyrie... and I have enough evidence here that he tried to assassinate my second brother; he's a big fish indeed!"
Gu Feng on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, "Regarding Zhou Yao, actually, we in the Xuanwu Battle Zone have already become alert internally! We thought he was just engaging in small maneuvers and forming cliques, but I didn't expect this bastard to be so utterly unrestrained, colluding with Martial Arts Experts from Dongying, to assassinate Second Young Master Ye..."
"You can rest assured, Young Master Ye, I have already summoned manpower and will immediately head out to support Yu Linglong! I will personally lead the team! Zhou Yao dares to be so arrogant; today I will personally clean house!"
Ye Fan nodded, "With Old Brother Gu Feng taking action, the odds of success are much greater, but we need to hurry!"
Ye Fan looked out the window as the sky began to darken.
Estimating the distance, Ye Fan was less than half an hour away from Penglai Canyon. He hoped that Yu Linglong and the others would move slow enough so that there would still be time!
...
Penglai Canyon, located above the sea in the southeastern region of Great Xia,
is a naturally formed gigantic canyon, with fresh water above it capable of blocking typhoons, housing a few thousand people would not be a problem at all.
Yu Linglong and her subordinates, numbering over a hundred, arrived outside the canyon in several small boats, where they could already see flickering lights.
A few of Yu Linglong's subordinates disembarked, and within one encounter, easily took out the Dongying guards at the mouth of the canyon!
Yu Linglong released her Perception to sense the situation; it was crucially important to guard the entrance of the canyon, yet there were less than ten guards, the strongest among them only at the Control Realm, not even a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
A few of Yu Linglong's subordinates at the Control Realm stepped forward, and easily seized the stronghold at the mouth of the canyon!
The group took advantage of the dark to sneak into the valley, planning a direct assault on the core area of the Black Clothes Society's stronghold to seize the treasures in the vault...
"Commander Yu! Don't you think it's a bit too calm here, something seems off? It's too quiet!"
