Chapter 1101- Turning Your Own Scheme Against You
鈥淗a ha ha, you鈥檙e finally here.....鈥?
As soon as Ye Zichen spoke, there was a burst of wanton laughter as a few dozen men and women in black robes appeared in the Wu Family estates. Each had an axe emblem emblazoned on their chests.
Their auras were all very powerful. Not even Ye Zichen鈥檚 overbearing pressure was enough to shake them. In fact, he vaguely sensed them pressing back against him.
鈥淵our Excellencies.鈥?At that moment, Wu Honghua, who was overcome with fear, shockingly rushed right towards these new arrivals, a subservient smile on his face.
鈥淵our Excellency, is this who you were looking for?鈥?
鈥淭hat鈥檚 right,鈥?said the middle-aged man standing at their forefront. 鈥淭here鈥檚 no need for you to stay here. You can leave.鈥?He nodded, and Wu Honghua reacted as if he鈥檇 been granted amnesty. Without so much as a second鈥檚 hesitation, he fled.
Once Wu Honghua left, that middle-aged man took a single step forward.....
Boom!
His mid-stage sky immortal power burst out of his body. His spiritual power was so vast, it even somewhat suppressed Ye Zichen鈥檚.
鈥淲ho are you?鈥?Ye Zichen glanced at the middle-aged man and smiled indifferently.
鈥淚 am the third elder of the Axe Gang鈥檚 punishment division, Luo Gaoyang and you.... Are Ye Zichen, aren鈥檛 you?鈥?
The way the Axe Gang members saw it, everything was under their control. They have quite a few sky immortal experts, and they were surrounded by countless earth and human immortals as well. They鈥檇 send over half of the Axe Gang鈥檚 elites just to capture Ye Zichen. Even if the aura Ye Zichen released just now was at the sky immortal level, he couldn鈥檛 possibly escape their combined assault.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e still not qualified to know who I am,鈥?said Ye Zichen coldly.
鈥淵ou鈥檝e got quite the temper.鈥?Luo Gaoyong nodded, then tried a different question. 鈥淭hen I鈥檒l ask you this: were you the one who killed Huang Aogu, who we sent to lead our base here?鈥?
鈥淚 am,鈥?said Ye Zichen with a calm nod. 鈥淭hen I鈥檒l ask you a question in return. My apprentice.... Did you kidnap him?鈥?
鈥淲e did,鈥?said Luo Gaoyang in the same calm manner.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 just perfect,鈥?said Ye Zichen.
Luo Gaoyang didn鈥檛 quite understand what he meant by that, but he could tell that something about his demeanor changed suddenly as he spoke.
鈥淟et鈥檚 take this into the air. This is my apprentice鈥檚 family clan..... Every stalk of grass will one day belong to my apprentice. I don鈥檛 want him to inherit a ruined family estate.鈥?
鈥淚nherit the family? Surely you don鈥檛 think your apprentice will ever return here?鈥?
鈥淲ho knows?鈥?Ye Zichen made no effort to clear things up. He simply pressed off the ground and floated into the air.
The sky immortal experts in the courtyard frowned and followed him into the air. One of them, an early-stage sky immortal, turned to their leader and asked, 鈥淓lder Luo, do you think that brat鈥檚 up to something?鈥?
From the start, Ye Zichen had seemed just a bit too calm, as if he weren鈥檛 the least bit concerned despite facing so many sky immortals.
This was absolutely no mere act; he truly had that much self confidence.
Luo Gaoyang鈥檚 brows were tightly knit as well. Despite his vast breadth of experience, he couldn鈥檛 see through Ye Zichen. He, too, had considered that Ye Zichen might have some tricks up his sleeve....
However, everyone here was an elite of the Axe Gang. Even with just their current numbers not even the peak clans of the Profound Great District would dare contend with them. How could Ye Zichen possibly have the confidence to do so?
He figured that Ye ZIchen was probably just bluffing. It鈥檚 just that his bluff was so skillful, they couldn鈥檛 see through his acting.
鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter what he鈥檚 got up his sleeves. A thousand of us arrived here over half a month ago, and we鈥檝e been waiting in ambush ever since. If he had allies, wouldn鈥檛 we know about it? Right now, he鈥檚 nothing but a beetle in a glass chair. Remember, when you capture him, you absolutely must take him alive. The boss said it repeatedly: he wants to see him alive.鈥?
鈥淵es, sir.鈥?
On Luo Gaoyang鈥檚 orders, all of the sky immortal experts took to the skis. They formed a circle around Ye Zichen. Countless, tightly-packed earth and human immortals lay in wait just behind them.
Their combined aura turned the skies above Raging Flame City a deep, ink-dark black.
鈥淪o, this is a peak faction of the Profound Great District?鈥?
Wang Lei saw that the sky was jam-packed. There were at least a few thousand human immortal experts! When he saw this, he couldn鈥檛 help but sigh in astonishment.
He was the City Lord of Raging Flame City and a sky immortal expert at that, but.....
He had no way of commanding so many sky, earth, and human immortals! Furthermore, his family clan had no worthy successors; their next strongest expert was a mere peak human immortal. There was absolutely no way he could round up enough experts to contend with the Axe Gang.
鈥淓verything is clear now. I鈥檓 afraid that expert surnamed 鈥榊e鈥?is the one who uprooted the Axe Gang鈥檚 local base. I have to say that he was really too impulsive. No matter how all-encompassing his strength, the local Axe Gang base has support from the Profound Great District鈥檚 main headquarters. Now they鈥檝e come looking for trouble. I鈥檓 afraid that, with so many sky immortal experts, things aren鈥檛 looking good for him.鈥?
鈥淚鈥檓 afraid I have to disagree.鈥?To his surprise, the head of the Liu Family shook his head calmly. 鈥淪ince he dared provoke the Axe Gang, he naturally possesses sufficient strength to do so.... Perhaps, this expert will bring us a pleasant surprise.鈥?
Wang Lei glanced at the Liu Family head doubtfully. The Liu Family was the most mysterious existence in Raging Flame City. Everyone knew they were strong, but no one knew just how strong they were.
When he heard the Liu Family Head鈥檚 words, the City Lord couldn鈥檛 help but subconsciously glance at the sky.....
Could Ye Zichen really give them a pleasant surprise even in this sort of situation?
After surrounding Ye Zichen, Luo Gaoyang smiled coldly and said, 鈥淏rat, you鈥檙e surrounded on all sides. Escape is impossible! I strongly encourage you to give in without a fight.鈥?
鈥淭his should be all of you, right?鈥?
To everyone鈥檚 surprise, even now, Ye Zichen鈥檚 calm smile had yet to leave his face. He simply coolly looked around at the troops encircling him without even the slightest hint of fear.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e still bluffing?鈥?sneered Luo Gaoyang. He had to admit: Ye Zichen鈥檚 acting was decent. However, bluffing even after all that was a bit over the top.
鈥淭o tell you the truth, you really ought to be honored. In order to lead you into our trap, we waited in Raging Flame City for a full two weeks. You鈥檝e really got guts. How dare you kill Huang Aogu? Didn鈥檛 you know how lofty his status within the gang was?鈥?
鈥淚s that so? Then I ought to feel deeply honored!鈥?
Ye Zichen paused in mid-air and laughed, but the next moment, his gaze grew frigid as a spiritual fluctuation even more powerful than before exploded out of his body. At the same time, he pressed his lips into a smile and said......
鈥淏ut haven鈥檛 you realized that you鈥檝e fallen into my trap instead?鈥
