When he opened his eyes, the sky outside was already bright. Nie Li took out his clothes from his bag and looked at the wooden barrel in the room. If it wasn't for yesterday's events, he wouldn't have imagined that he had struggled so many times in front of death.
The assassin said that he was sent by Zhao Chuan, but yesterday afternoon, he was chased by the Dragon Protection Clan. If it was Zhao Chuan, then these methods were unnecessary. Since he sent the Dragon Protection Clan to kill him, then why would he send someone else to assassinate him?
Either he knew that the Dragon Protection Clan couldn't kill him from the beginning, then wouldn't it be unnecessary for him to send the Dragon Protection Clan? Then it could only mean that the assassin was lying and wasn't sent by Zhao Chuan.
Then who was it? Wei Wuyou, Wang Wen, or Ye Ziming of the Ye Family? For a moment, countless names flashed through Nie Li's mind, but he couldn't figure out who it was.
Without thinking too much, Nie Li devoted his time to cultivation. In the afternoon, he would be working with Wen Xinya. This time, the Assembly Manor and the Iron Chain Gang are working together, so Nie Li must be in his best condition.

In a luxurious mansion, Zhao Chuan crawled up from his shining white and graceful body because someone was shouting outside. "Heir, don't go!" The soft voice was enough to make any man ecstasy.
Zhao Chuan's face was filled with disdain. He grabbed the robe on the ground and put it on himself. "Heir, accompany me a little longer." The woman hugged Zhao Chuan from behind, her warm body sticking to Zhao Chuan's body.
"Scram. One more word and I'll kill you." Zhao Chuan flung the woman away and snapped. His eyes were fierce like a beast, causing the woman to tremble without saying a word.
Opening the door, a black clothed man was standing outside. He had an ordinary face, but if one looked carefully, they would see a four-clawed dragon on his neck. His aura was terrifying. Just by standing there, he had a powerful aura. "Zhao Ba, what's the matter?" Zhao Chuan asked.
"The people we sent are all dead." Zhao Ba's voice was flat. Death was as common as breathing in his mouth.
"A bunch of trash. They couldn't even kill a piece of trash that I injured." Zhao Chuan's face was ugly. "What about Wei Wuyou's men? Didn't his men make a move?"
"He didn't do anything. Even the news of his death was discovered by his subordinates." Zhao Ba shook his head. "Bastard, what a good Wei Wuyou. I didn't expect this silkpants to have such a shameless side." Zhao Chu 'an's expression became even more unsightly. He slapped the wooden pillar beside him, leaving an extremely deep palm print.
"Crown Prince, should we teach Wei Wuyou a lesson?" Zhao Ba asked. Wei Wuyou went back on his word and agreed to encircle Nie Li. But in the end, it was his own Dragon Protection Lineage that died.
"There's no need. The one who died this time was the lowest level deathsworn of the Dragon Protection Lineage. Moreover, his father, Wei Chaoda, is suppressing from above. It's not good for us to act. However, since he dares to scheme against me, I will definitely make him suffer the consequences. "The corners of Zhao Chuan's mouth curled up.
"Also, the Third Brother of the Ye Family has come to visit." Zhao Ba looked at Zhao Chuan's palm print. It was deeply embedded, but the palm print was incomparably complete. Zhao Chuan's control of strength was exceptional.
"Have him wait for me in the hall." After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, Zhao Ba left and returned to the room. For a moment, decadent sounds came out.
The Third Brother of the Ye Family had already drunk several cups of tea in the hall. Because his arm was broken, he still couldn't get used to it. Every time he saw his missing right arm, he couldn't wait to kill Miao Shuzi. However, Miao Shuzi's status was above his head, so he didn't dare to make a move.
But now, Zhao Chu 'an had already given him the cold shoulder. He had already been sitting here for a few incense sticks worth of time, but the opposite party still hadn't shown up. Ye Lao San's complexion gradually became unsightly. He was so gloomy that he could drip water, but he could only swallow his anger.
"The Third Brother of the Ye Family, sorry for being late." Zhao Chuan walked out of the side room, neatly dressed. Seeing the Third Brother of the Ye Family's unhappy face, he coldly snorted in his heart. But what kind of person was the Third Brother of the Ye Family? When he heard Zhao Chuan's words, he immediately put on a smile and put down his cup. He wanted to cup his hands in greeting, but when he realized that he didn't have his right arm, he immediately felt awkward.
"It's fine. You're also an elder, so there's no need to be so polite." Zhao Chuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such etiquette. "Thank you young master, but I don't dare." The Third Brother of the Ye Family knew that although he was an elder, the difference in status between the two of them was still very large.
Smelling the scent of cosmetics on Zhao Chuan's body, the Third Brother of the Ye Family knew that Zhao Chuan had just been fooling around with a woman. He would rather fool around with a woman and leave him out to dry. This Zhao Chuan was really too arrogant.
"Senior Ye's right arm is missing. Did something happen?" Zhao Chuan pretended to be very surprised. The Third Brother of the Ye Family lowered his head. His expression was incomparably complicated, but when he raised his head, he always had a smile on his face.
"He had a conflict with someone and lost an arm." The Third Brother of the Ye Family didn't go into detail. This was a scar in his heart, and he didn't want it to be reopened again and again.
"So it's because your strength isn't enough." Zhao Chuan's faint voice rang out. The Third Brother of the Ye Family's left hand clenched into a fist. If it was anyone else, who would dare speak to him like this? But the person in front of him was someone he could only endure.
"Sorry, look at this mouth of mine. I don't know how to speak. Just pretend you didn't hear anything." Zhao Chuan reacted and hurriedly apologized, but the Third Brother of the Ye Family didn't dare to accept it. He could only flatter him, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Do you think I'm deaf? I can't hear.
"Why are you looking for me today?" Zhao Chuan went straight to the point and asked.
"I don't dare to trouble the Crown Prince, but I came to disturb you." The Third Brother of the Ye Family naturally couldn't ask for Zhao Chuan's help right away. He could only tactfully exchange greetings before opening his mouth.
"Then I still have something to do. Next time!" Zhao Chuan sneered in his heart. He couldn't get used to these people's appearance. They obviously had something to ask of him, but they still beat around the bush. It was really annoying.
"Then I'll be straightforward. I believe the Crown Prince knows about the Ye Family's matter. This time, I can help the princess obtain the Earth Dragon Fruit, but I hope the Crown Prince can put in a few good words in front of the Jingyang Prince." The Third Brother of the Ye Family's expression was somewhat ugly, but he still said it.
"I forgot that your Ye Family's current generation is lacking in succession. The older generation has also resigned and retired. Your power in the officialdom has already been gradually taken over." Zhao Chuan rubbed his chin and thought for a long time before he finally spoke.
The Third Brother of the Ye Family was so angry that he almost fainted. Zhao Chuan's mouth was really ruthless. "That's right. I hope the Crown Prince can put in a few good words to save our Ye Family."
"Why? Why should I help your Ye Family? Just because of the Earth Dragon Fruit? My sister indeed needs him, but don't forget, I've also come this time. I'm here for the Earth Dragon Fruit. Since I've already come, will you guys get the Earth Dragon Fruit? "Zhao Chuan slammed the table, his tone aggressive.
The Third Brother of the Ye Family was at a loss for words. Indeed, since Zhao Chuan came to White Mountain City, he would definitely bring the Dragon Protector Faction. At that time, it was uncertain who the Earth Dragon Fruit would be.
"Our Ye Family is willing to be at the Jingyang Prince's beck and call." The Third Brother of the Ye Family gritted his teeth and said the last bottom line. This was the biggest bottom line that the Ye Family could do.
"You are the officials of the Song Emperor. You should be loyal to him. My father doesn't dare to accept this." Zhao Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the Third Brother of the Ye Family. He didn't expect Zhao Chuan to be so vicious. These words had already become a weakness.
However, he certainly wouldn't say this to the higher-ups. These words, on a deeper level, meant that the Ye Family had to listen to the Jingyang Prince. The Prince had his own team, which was something that the Emperor didn't want to see.
The Third Brother of the Ye Family secretly sighed in relief. Zhao Chuan wouldn't say it. He believed that he wasn't a stupid person. "Senior Ye, you should be careful with these words in the future. Zhao Ba, see the guest out." Zhao Chuan directly ordered the guest to leave.
"I hope the Crown Prince will think about it. I will take my leave first." The Third Brother of the Ye Family stood up and didn't wait for Zhao Ba to come to his side. After speaking, he turned around and left. After being treated like this by Zhao Chuan, anyone would be angry.
"Crown Prince, this Third Brother of the Ye Family really doesn't know what's good for him." Zhao Ba stood next to Zhao Chuan and looked at the back of the Third Brother of the Ye Family.
"It's not that he doesn't know what's good for him. It's just that he wants to find Father's protection too much. He thinks that by expressing his loyalty, he can make me help him. This is impossible. "Zhao Chuan crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Then Crown Prince, the Prince urgently needs to build his own team. Isn't the Ye Family's surrender a good thing?" Zhao Ba doubtfully asked. As a member of the Dragon Protector Clan, he still knew a lot of things.
"Father needs to build a team, but not just anyone can enter. This generation of the Ye Family is too weak. I reckon that Duke Ye is also very worried when he sees the Ye Family like this all day long!"
"Moreover, the Ye Family's surrender is one thing, but the most important thing is to protect their own family. There are too few people in the center of power in this generation of the Ye Family. With such a big family, if there is no one to support it, it will definitely be swallowed up." Zhao Chuan saw very clearly. Or rather, as an outsider, he understood the right and wrong of the court.
"Lord Ye is a famous official of his generation, but his descendants are all good-for-nothing and incompetent. It's a pity that he is already old. Now the other families are only looking at Lord Ye and don't dare to make a move. If Lord Ye leaves that day, the Ye Family will probably be eaten clean. "Zhao Ba said.
"So, for the sake of the plan, let's throw away this big tail. Now go find out who cut off Ye Old Third's arm. In any case, he is at the peak of the Xiantian realm. I don't want the person who cut off his arm to be an obstacle to me obtaining the Earth Dragon Fruit. "Zhao Chuan ordered.
"I understand." Zhao Ba finished speaking and prepared to leave. "Wait, go and prepare. I'm going to the Iron Chain Gang's hall in the afternoon." Zhao Chuan tapped his finger on the table.
"Do I need to bring someone?" Zhao Ba inquired. His killing aura had already spread out.
"No need. I'm going this time to have a good talk with Wei Wuyou. Moreover, a trash like him can't even block a palm of mine." Zhao Chuan continued tapping his finger, but his speed was a bit faster.
"This subordinate understands." Zhao Ba quietly retreated. His figure had already merged into the darkness and disappeared in an instant. The crisp knocking sound still echoed in the room. Clang, clang, clang.
"Wei Wuyou? I want to see who is giving you advice behind the scenes. "Zhao Chuan's fingers suddenly clenched.
"You dare to trick me. Today, I'll let you have a taste of what it means to be taught a lesson." Zhao Chuan muttered to himself, then laughed loudly. The empty hall was filled with his laughter. Wave after wave, but the sound overlapped, sounding like the sinister laughter of an evil spirit.
