Hearing Ye Wenyan's words, Lu Xuan nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked up at the elders and said hesitantly, "By the way, there's one more thing that I might have to say."
Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "What is it? You can say it. There's nothing you can't say to us. "
After a moment of consideration, Lu Xuan said, "Although we achieved our goal in ambushing the Sikong family, the damage and losses suffered by the Anying Hall were far beyond my expectations."
"Are you worried that we'll punish you? You don't have to worry about that. Although the Anying Hall of the Eight Corners Holy Temple suffered a great blow, it's not your fault. "
"That's not the case. What I want to say is … I might have been betrayed."
The expressions of Ye Wenyan and the others froze as soon as they heard what Lu Xuan said. Betrayal was something they absolutely could not tolerate! Ye Ruida thought for a while and said, "You mean Yi Yong betrayed us and joined the Sikong family?"
"That's not it." Lu Xuan shook his head slowly. "Grandpa, do you remember when I was ambushed by Sikong Qing and his men? Sikong Qing pointed out my identity as the young master of the Jiuhua Alliance?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, before Ye Ruida could say anything, Ye Wuhen's expression suddenly changed. She said in a low voice, "To protect your safety, your identity is top secret. Only a few people know about it. Yi Yong is far away in the Eight Corners Holy Temple. It's impossible for him to know."
"That's true. Father, you, mother, and several elders will never disclose this information. As for Xinyi, Chenxi, and the others, I believe that they will never betray me. Even if they have this thought, they don't have the ability to pass the information. Then, the only thing left is …"
Lu Xuan and Ye Wuhen looked at each other. Ye Wuhen's eyes flashed like lightning. She slowly said two words, "Ye Hao!"
Lu Xuan nodded. "Father is right. The first person I suspect is my sworn brother. Moreover … in my opinion, my sworn brother has the most motive to do this."
"My sworn brother's younger brother, Lin Zeyu, died at my hands. This is a personal grudge. Given my sworn brother's character and style of doing things, the possibility of him taking revenge on me for a personal grudge is not high. However, my appearance has greatly shaken his position."
Ye Wuhen didn't let Lu Xuan continue. "He's my adopted son. Before you came along, he was the only young master. He even thought he could take over the entire Jiuhua Alliance. But when you came along, all his dreams were shattered. Over the years, I have seen through him. Although he hides it well, I can see that he is an ambitious person. "
Ye Wenjun sneered, "You're really indulging in fantasy. Even if he's your foster son, he's still not a member of my Ye Clan. Even if it's that girl Xuanxuan's turn to take charge of the Ye Clan, it'll never be his turn!"
"You're right, Granduncle." Ye Wuhen said, "Of course, he knows this. That's why he's always wanted to be with Xuanxuan. At first, I didn't object to this. He's my foster son, and Xuanxuan is the only successor. If Xuanxuan really wants to be with him, it's understandable."
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun immediately widened his eyes and was about to say something, but Ye Wuheng quickly said, "At that time, it seemed reasonable. But if it's really as Xuan 'er said, that Xuan' er's identity was revealed by him, then I will never spare him!"
"It's not a bad thing for a man to be ambitious. But if he's willing to do anything for his ambition, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Not only did he put Xuan's son in a dangerous situation, but he also ruined the entire Holy Palace of Eight Corners and Anying Hall. Countless of our brothers died in foreign lands. If I don't give him an explanation for this, I'm not worthy of being the Alliance Leader. "
Ye Wenjun snorted and said, "What explanation? When we go back, Xuan 'er, you confront him and interrogate him. If it's really as you say, I'll cut him down with my sword! Our Ye Family has treated him well. I didn't expect him to be an ingrate! "
Lu Xuan nodded. Even if Ye Wenjun didn't stand up for him, he had to kill Ye Hao. He still remembered the scene of countless brothers dying when they broke out of the Sikong Family's encirclement. If no one had betrayed them, they could have escaped unscathed, and there would have been no such heavy casualties.
At this time, Ye Wenyan, who had quietly listened to all the reasons, suddenly said, "Wuhen, before you left, how did you arrange the affairs of the alliance?"
"I asked Haoran to take charge of everything, and Ye Hao assisted from the side … Oh no!" Ye Wuhen suddenly exclaimed.
Lu Xuan's face changed, and he said, "So, Ye Hao has a lot of power in his hands? If he realized that the matter was about to be exposed and took risks, wouldn't Second Uncle be in danger? "
"Let's go! Let's hurry back to the alliance! That unfilial son, if he really dares to do such a thing, I'll tear him to pieces! "This time, Ye Wuhen was really angry.
Without any hesitation, Ye Wuhen took out the airship. The Ye Family, who had been leisurely on their way back, immediately boarded the airship and hurried to the hidden stronghold of the Jiuhua Alliance at top speed. Although this was a big show of force, and it inevitably seemed like a provocation to the Sikong Family, Ye Wuhen didn't want to waste a single moment.
The airship streaked across the sky, and the news quickly reached the ears of Sikong Zhengqing and the others.
"Ancestor, aren't the people of the Ye family looking down on us too much? They actually dared to act like this in the territory of our Eight Directional Sacred Hall. If you hadn't let them go so easily, do you think they could leave so easily?" Sikong Qing said with a hint of anger.
Sikong Zhengqing smiled gently and said, "Let them go. I'm afraid their backyard is on fire, and they're burning with anxiety. If we stop them now, I'm afraid the Ye brothers will really go crazy."
"Backyard is on fire? You're saying … "Sikong Qing suddenly understood. Speaking of which, he was the one who told Sikong Zhengqing about this matter. However, he wasn't sure if the person who revealed this information to him was Ye Hao. But according to his deductions, this matter was very likely. Thinking about the Ye Clan's current actions, it was most likely as he thought.
Sikong Zhengqing looked into the distance with his hands clasped behind his back and said softly, "Ye Wuhen is raising a tiger and inviting disaster. I wonder how far the fire will burn. I hope Ye Hao won't let me down …"
Jiuhua City, Castellan Mansion.
Ye Haoran sat in a chair, focused on the affairs of the Jiuhua Alliance. His desk was stacked with a small mountain of reports. The Jiuhua Alliance was vast. Although there were many organizations, there were still many things that needed to be decided at the top. Usually, he only dealt with the affairs of Jiuhua City, so he didn't think much of it. Now that he suddenly took over the affairs of the entire Jiuhua Alliance, he finally understood how busy his brother used to be.
At that moment, Ye Haoran's thoughts were interrupted by a noise that was getting louder and louder.
He immediately put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Someone, what's going on? Why is it so noisy in the Castellan Mansion? "
Several servants quickly walked out and bowed. "Castellan, please wait a moment. We'll go and ask."
Before they could leave, a guard of the Castellan Mansion rushed in in a panic. He knelt on the ground and shouted, "Castellan, bad news!"
