“In almost an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ye Wanzhan’s mind, but they were all rejected by her.
Originally, Ye Wanzhan wanted to inform Si Yehan, but she quickly thought that if she did, wouldn’t she be dragging Ashura into trouble? Even if the Fearless Alliance and Ashura joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Martial Arts Alliance Guild.
“Has the Martial Arts Alliance Guild arrived?” Ye Wanzhan looked at Beidou and Qixing, furrowing her brow.
“No,” Qixing shook his head.
Ye Wanzhan sat slowly on the sofa. Without much thought, she knew that the Martial Arts Alliance Guild must have gone back to gather their forces, planning to deal with the Fearless Alliance later.
Engaging in a war with the Martial Arts Alliance Guild was clearly unrealistic. At this critical moment, she had to find a reason to attack them that had nothing to do with the Fearless Alliance’s resources or elders.
“Jin Elder, did they take him back?” Ye Wanzhan continued, asking.
“Feng Jie, no, Jin Elder is dead!” Beidou quickly said.
“Dead?!” A flash of delight appeared in Ye Wanzhan’s eyes. His death was just perfect. It was like sending charcoal in the snow!
As long as Jin Elder was dead, there would be no evidence that the hidden base belonged to the Fearless Alliance. Even if the Fearless Alliance cared about Jin Elder being taken hostage and sent a large number of people to find him, and they coincidentally encountered the Martial Arts Alliance Guild in the process, she could deny any connection between the two.
As the balance of power in the independent state, would the Martial Arts Alliance Guild dare to start a war with the Fearless Alliance without solid evidence?
“It was a terrible death!” Beidou sighed.
“Who killed Jin Elder?” Ye Wanzhan asked curiously. Such a talented person must be prioritized for cultivation.
“Feng Jie, you might not believe it if I tell you, I don’t even know how to explain it… Maybe I should act it out for you!” Beidou turned to Qixing and said, “Now, I’m a member of the Martial Arts Alliance Guild, and you are Jin Elder. Let’s reenact the scene.”
Qixing: “…”
“Feng Jie, after the Martial Arts Alliance Guild found the base, they asked Jin Elder about the situation. Jin Elder asked you who wanted to kill Nie Wuyou, and then… Jin Elder said he hadn’t revealed anything, and as a result, he was killed by a single blow from the Martial Arts Alliance Guild’s members,” Qixing truthfully explained.
As Qixing finished speaking, Ye Wanzhan was stunned on the spot, looking utterly confused.
What kind of twist was this?!
Jin Elder was killed by the Martial Arts Alliance Guild openly? This couldn’t have been done by undercover agents, and it was even the Vice President of the guild. This was even less likely.
But… why did the Martial Arts Alliance Guild want to kill Jin Elder?
Countless questions flooded Ye Wanzhan’s mind; there was simply no reason for this!
“Our people, how are they?” Ye Wanzhan asked.
“A few hall masters escaped and are unharmed,” Qixing replied.
After contemplating for a moment, Ye Wanzhan ordered, “Immediately go to the vicinity of the Martial Arts Alliance Guild and monitor their every move. If there’s the slightest bit of movement, report back to me immediately!”
Upon hearing this, Beidou and Qixing turned and left.”
