Night fell.
The night sky of An Rong City had always been "dark". Stars and moonlight could not be seen all year round because the air here was too bad. It was shrouded in dust and smog all year round. Even during the day, the sky was gray.
Under the night sky, An Rong City seemed to be quieter than usual, except for the Ye family's old residence. At this time, in the old house, Ye Shiqing let out a hysterical roar, "Failed? Well, since you failed, why did you come back alive! You are all idiots! Rice bucket! Trash! … "
The faces of the Ye family's men of sacrifice became very ugly. They were trembling with fear. Although they were martial artists, in front of Ye Shiqing, their status was like a dog. They were dogs raised by the Ye family. They could only be beaten and scolded by their master. They absolutely could not bite back at their master. Otherwise, they would die miserably, miserably!
"General, we can't blame them for today's action … We only blame the opponent for being too powerful. We underestimated the opponent's strength … We were tricked …"
The one who spoke was Wu Yingmeng. Hearing Wu Yingmeng's plea, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shadow, I really didn't expect you to be injured. You never let me down!" Ye Shiqing's tone revealed his dissatisfaction with Wu Yingmeng, but at least there was some concern.
"General, the opponent is too powerful!" Wu Yingmeng said while coughing, "We were tricked … This should be a trap set by the opponent. He deliberately led us to the Little Dragon Mountain … and then prepared to catch us all in one fell swoop. In the beginning, that kid deliberately showed weakness, but … but he actually had a Martial Profound Level master by his side. Even if all of them were to join forces, they still couldn't compare to a Martial Profound Level master … Although I made a feint in an attempt to capture that kid, the other party seemed to be prepared and poisoned me … General, we've miscalculated this time! "
"What about Fang Baiqiu of Six Doors?" Ye Shiqing said, "Did she go to the Little Dragon Mountain?"
"She should be there, but she deliberately did not make a move … She wanted to wait for us to both suffer!" Wu Yingmeng continued to say to Ye Shiqing, "General, behind this … there must be … a mastermind. It is very likely that someone wants to deal with … deal with the Ye family! General, you must be careful … Puff! "
After saying this, Wu Yingmeng spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Shadow, you —" Ye Shiqing looked at Wu Yingmeng and expressed his worry again.
Ye Shiqing called Wu Yingmeng "Shadow" because all these years, Wu Yingmeng had been Ye Shiqing's shadow. She had done many shady things for him and trained many men of sacrifice for the Ye Family. She was one of Ye Shiqing's most trusted people. However, Ye Shiqing didn't expect that Wu Yingmeng would fail today and even get poisoned.
"I've been poisoned … I can't suppress the poison. I'm afraid I don't have much time left …" Wu Yingmeng's voice was filled with sorrow. As an expert of the Metaphysic Realm, his fighting capacity was still at its peak. He originally had at least twenty years left to live, but now everything was going to disappear. He could feel that he would not live for long.
"What kind of poison is this? I don't believe that even the top imperial physicians in Zhongnanhai can't cure your poison! "
"General … it's too late!" Wu Yingmeng said, "I'm afraid I can't make it past tonight … General, I have something to tell you."
Ye Shiqing nodded and called for the rest of the people to leave.
"Speak." Ye Shiqing said to Wu Yingmeng, "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I will help you fulfill them."
"General … let's talk about the important things first … I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems. You must be careful. I'm afraid that someone is coveting the Ye Family's position in Pingchuan Province …"
"There have always been many people coveting the Ye Family's position!" Ye Shiqing snorted coldly. "But most of them are dead."
"It's different this time … General, the other party is too clever … Ma Zhenyong and those things of the Ye Family were just bait. He used this bait … to lure us into a trap and create the illusion of escape … then he took the opportunity to kill our people … and took the opportunity to spy on our strength. This person … is not simple! … He's definitely not an ordinary person. An ordinary person … can't have a Martial Mystic as a servant … "
Ye Shiqing roughly understood what Wu Yingmeng was worried about. He frowned and said, "You mean — there's a powerful force that wants to harm the Ye Family? They want to replace the Ye Family's position in Pingchuan Province? "
"Yes, General … although the Ye Family has been like the sun in the sky these years, who knows how many people covet the Ye Family's position. This time … I'm afraid it's just the beginning! General … you must be careful … "
"Alright, I understand." Ye Shiqing nodded. "All these years, there have been many people coveting the Ye Family, but didn't they all die in our hands? Shadow, you must recover quickly. Let's deal with these people together! "
"General … I know my body well … I really can't make it. I don't have any requests, as long as General can treat my descendants well … General, take care. "Wu Yingmeng finished speaking and pushed open the door to choose her own place of death. Although he couldn't detoxify her, at least he could barely delay the speed of the poison and prepare for her funeral.
"Wait —"
Ye Shiqing suddenly stopped Wu Yingmeng. "Although you're poisoned, it doesn't mean there's no way! You may not know, but I have a panacea in my hands that can prolong life and cure a hundred poisons. "
"What! Panacea? Panacea? " Wu Yingmeng was a veteran of the martial world so naturally, he had heard of panacea. However, he never thought that Ye Shiqing would actually have a panacea in his hands! Furthermore, he never thought that Ye Shiqing would actually give this panacea to him!
"That's right, I have a panacea that is rumored to be in the martial world! Furthermore, I had obtained it from the Medicine Sect at a high price. Its effects must be extraordinary. " Ye Shiqing turned the pen holder on the study table and the bookshelf in the room instantly moved aside. A safe appeared on the wall. Ye Shiqing opened the safe and took out an emerald jade box. Based on the quality of the jade box alone, one could tell that it was worth a fortune. One could imagine how valuable the item inside the box must be.
Wu Yingmeng knew that this was the 'panacea' that Ye Shiqing had mentioned.
Ye Shiqing placed the jade box into Wu Yingmeng's hands. Wu Yingmeng's hands trembled as he accepted the box containing the panacea. He then spoke in a tone that sounded like he was swearing an oath, "General … Your kindness in saving my life, I really have no way to repay it …"
"Shadow, you've done so much for me, this is what you deserve. However, since you suspect that a great power is eyeing the Ye family covetously, I want you to investigate and get to the bottom of this! Once I've investigated this thoroughly, I want these people to die without a burial place! "Ye Shiqing was clearly determined.
"Don't worry, General … I still have many friends in the martial world. I can contact these people and work for the Ye family. Furthermore, you know that I was once an outer disciple of the Green Town Sect and I have some friendly relations with some of the experts in the sect … As long as we're willing to offer a high price, I can invite some of the experts in the sect … "
"I'm aware of all these things. However, right now, the most important thing is to find out the background of our opponents. The Ye family has suffered a great loss today but we haven't even found out the background of our opponents. This is simply the biggest joke in the world! Furthermore, I've heard from Ye Zhongting that Wolong Hall has run into some trouble as well. "
"It's just a small problem." At this time, Wu Yingmeng had already swallowed the panacea in the jade box. He felt that his energy had recovered a lot and it seemed that the poison in his body had been suppressed. His mood suddenly became a lot more relaxed. "It's just an old man and a young man who are causing trouble. You should know the old man, he's called Hou Kuiyun."
"Hou Kuiyun, humph, he's just a servant and he actually dares to oppose us. He doesn't know what's good for him! Furthermore, he's really stupid. He actually wants to cooperate with Wuyi Hall to deal with Wolong Hall. This is simply the biggest joke in the world! "
"That's right, General, you've devised a strategy. How many people can see through this wonderful move of yours?" Wu Yingmeng coughed twice again, but it seemed to be a lot better than before.
