Hearing Ye Chen's words, Elder Yu smiled bitterly. Ye Chen was right. Power was not as important as strength. Unfortunately, knowing was one thing, and doing it was another. Moreover, not everyone was like Ye Chen, who had boundless potential. Their potential had already been exhausted, and they could only rely on the sect to obtain the resources they wanted and continue to slowly increase their strength.
"Everyone's circumstances are different, and so are their perspectives. It seems like I was too impulsive." Elder Yu thought that Ye Chen was a bit impulsive. However, after hearing Ye Chen's words, he felt that he was overthinking things. For Ye Chen to have his current accomplishments, how could he not know what was important and what was not? He had certainly thought things through.
There were twenty-four elders in Elder Assembly. From Ye Chen's observation, he discovered that there were roughly seven or eight people who favored Wei Longtao. Although they had hidden it well, how could they escape Ye Chen's eyes? It was clear how powerful Wei Longtao's connections were.
However, Ye Chen didn't care. Even if the Elder Assembly didn't think that Wei Longtao was guilty and could continue as the Azure Dragon Hall Leader, it had nothing to do with him. He would only do what he had to do, and the result wouldn't affect him much. Of course, if the other party overestimated their capabilities and retaliated, he wouldn't swallow his anger.
"Ye Chen, you've done well."
At this moment, Second Elder Silver Sword transmitted to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen glanced at the Second Elder out of the corner of his eyes.
The Second Elder didn't look at Ye Chen and continued, "As far as we're concerned, as long as we have sufficient reason to suspect, we don't need proof. If we really needed proof to arrest someone, who knows how long it would take. Therefore, you can be at ease. I, Great Elder, and Third Elder all think that you've done the right thing. Since this Wei Longtao is a suspect, we can't let him return to Azure Dragon Hall, nor can we let him leave the palace. However, in order to prevent others from thinking that you're fighting for power, you can't be the Azure Dragon Hall Leader. If you have any opinion, you can speak directly."
"Second Elder is joking. I've never been interested in power."
Ye Chen replied.
"Haha, that's good. You will know who the new Azure Dragon Hall Master is tomorrow. We will do our best to cooperate with you."
Second Elder wasn't lying, nor was he afraid of Ye Chen's identity as a Dragon God Envoy. He truly felt that Ye Chen's way of doing things was too good. He had helped Great Elder and him solve a huge problem. Catching a thief, catching a thief, catching a thief, catching a couple. But, if they couldn't be caught, wouldn't that mean that the mastermind would be free and unfettered for the rest of his life? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions. Currently, Dragon God Celestial Palace was in a crisis, and the best way to deal with spies was to catch all the suspicious ones. Even the Azure Dragon Hall Leader was no exception.
Cough, cough!
At this time, the First Elder cleared his throat and asked Wei Longtao, "Hall Master Wei, this isn't a question of who to believe. Let me ask you, were you really impulsive when you killed Yao Yifeng back then?"
"Not bad."
Wei Longtao nodded coldly.
"You've always been calm."
"No matter how calm one is, one can still get angry. Without a doubt, Yao Yifeng made me very angry. Because of him, many brothers of my Dragon God Celestial Palace have died."
"Alright, if there's no problem, the Azure Dragon Hall Leader position is still yours. But, before that, you'll have to undergo a series of investigations. I hope you can understand."
Great Elder was, after all, the First Elder. Dealing with this kind of thorny problem was easy for him. From his tone, he didn't side with either Ye Chen or Wei Longtao. On the surface, he was comforting Wei Longtao and didn't reprimand him. However, since he didn't let Wei Longtao go, it was equivalent to giving Ye Chen enough respect.
Hearing these words, Wei Longtao's complexion turned unsightly. In the end, he still had to undergo investigations. In other words, Great Elder had chosen to believe Ye Chen.
"Great Elder, this doesn't seem appropriate!"
Wei Longtao didn't say anything. Instead, an elder who had a good relationship with Wei Longtao stood out. He was the eighth ranked Elder Liu.
Second Elder said with a frown, "Elder Liu, how is it inappropriate? I agree with Great Elder's decision. "
"I also agree."
"Elder Liu, I know you don't believe that Hall Leader Wei is guilty. We don't believe it either, but an investigation is necessary. Therefore, I agree with Great Elder's decision."
"Me too."
"…"
Of the twenty-four elders, sixteen agreed with Great Elder's decision. Even if the remaining eight wanted to speak up for Wei Longtao, it was meaningless. In the Elders Council, the minority followed the majority.
Smiling bitterly, Elder Liu glanced at Wei Longtao helplessly and took a step back, sighing, "Since everyone agrees, this Liu will obey."
"That's right. Investigating Hall Leader Wei isn't targeting him. When the truth comes to light, Hall Leader Wei will still be the Azure Dragon Hall Leader."
Third Elder said with a beaming smile.
Turning his head, Great Elder looked at Ye Chen, "Dragon God Envoy, I'll leave the Azure Dragon Hall's matters to you. Tomorrow, we'll send an expert to the Azure Dragon Hall to temporarily take over the Hall Leader's position. I hope you all can get along well and work together to resist the four opposing factions."
"Don't worry, this is my duty."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Good, you go back first! If there's anything, I'll send someone to inform you. "
At this time, it was already the second watch period, and the night was as cold as water. Great Elder was clear that the Azure Dragon Hall still had the task of transporting resources, and Ye Chen couldn't be missed.
"Farewell!"
Ye Chen glanced at Wei Longtao and left the Elders Hall.
Watching Ye Chen's back disappear into the night, Wei Longtao's eyes flashed with a murderous cold light.
…
When Ye Chen returned to Azure Dragon Island, Xu Danian and Wu Chuan were both waiting for him.
"Vice Hall Leader Ye, how is it?"
Xu Danian asked.
Ye Chen said, "Wei Longtao is under investigation. Tomorrow, someone will come to Azure Dragon Island to temporarily take over the Azure Dragon Hall Leader's position."
"Fortunately."
Xu Danian and Wu Chuan glanced at each other and let out a sigh of relief. If Wei Longtao continued to be the Azure Dragon Hall Leader, the first to feel uncomfortable would definitely be the two of them. After all, they didn't have Ye Chen's strength, nor did they have Ye Chen's confidence. Thirdly, they didn't have enough support. They were just Vice Hall Leaders under the jurisdiction of the Azure Dragon Hall.
"Vice Hall Leader Ye, what about today's resource transportation task? The enemy already knows where we are going and the number of our people. "
Wu Chuan asked.
A cold light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, "Follow the original plan."
…
Azure Spirit Island, a resource island close to the core of Blood Battle Ocean. Because this island had an ordinary upper grade spirit vein, the natural Yuan Qi here was terrifyingly dense. Almost every breath here was equivalent to a Mortal Realm warrior's fifteen minutes of breathing. Living here for a long time, one would be immune to all diseases, and the body would be strong. If one gave birth here, the baby would definitely have a good foundation for martial arts.
On Azure Spirit Island, the miners were working hard as usual. However, it was hard for outsiders to know that last night, a large group of people had come to Azure Spirit Island and were hiding nearby.
…
"You three, don't worry. I've brought a thousand and five hundred people from the Sky Eagle Cult. Even if we can't take them down, we won't be defeated by them. Once you surround them from the back, killing them will be as easy as killing dogs."
The hall leader of the Sky Eagle Cult, the hook-nosed middle-aged man, said.
"I hope so."
Whirlwind Gate's Yin Wind Hall Leader He Lengji said.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. My Water Wave Sect will go first. Brother Zhou, I'll leave the task of attracting the enemy to you." The green-robed old man waved his hand, and more than a thousand people of Water Wave Sect flew southwest.
"Farewell!"
"You must succeed."
The black-robed man and the Whirlwind Gate's hall leader He Lengji headed south and southeast respectively, leaving only the Sky Eagle Cult's people behind.
Retracting his gaze, the hook-nosed middle-aged man said loudly, "Brothers of Yin Wind Hall, it's time to get rich! Half of the enemy's resources and wealth will belong to us, and we'll also get half of the contribution points. This is not something that happens often. It's our luck to run into them!"
"Hall leader, don't worry. Who knows, our Sky Eagle Cult might be able to get rid of them and take all the resources and wealth for ourselves." The treacherous fatty beside the hook-nosed middle-aged man said confidently.
"Right, kill all the enemies and take all the resources for ourselves."
According to the usual practice, only ninety percent of the resources would go to the headquarters, and the remaining ten percent would be distributed accordingly. Therefore, everyone's enthusiasm was high, and no one was afraid of death. Even if they couldn't take down the enemy, as long as they could delay them, it would be fine. One thousand and five hundred people were not to be trifled with. Even if the enemy had two thousand people, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them in a short time.
"Let's go!"
The hook-nosed middle-aged man revealed a satisfied expression after seeing everyone's high morale. He waved his hand and led the group toward Azure Spirit Island.
Soon, everyone arrived two thousand li south of Azure Spirit Island.
"Alright, everyone, split into three groups and wait." This time, it was different from the past. Previously, ambushes were the main method, but this time, they would kill as soon as they saw the enemy. There was no need for ambushes. Therefore, they only needed to wait for Ye Chen's group to arrive before they started killing.
Fifteen minutes passed!
Thirty minutes passed!
"They are here! There are quite a lot of people. " A bloodthirsty look flashed through the hook-nosed middle-aged man's eyes. In his sight, there were about one thousand and one hundred people rushing toward them. The three people in the lead were Ye Chen, Xu Danian, and Wu Chuan, the three deputy leaders.
"Haha, since you are here, then don't leave."
The hook-nosed middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief. There were only one thousand and one hundred enemies, which was four hundred less than them. This was a huge advantage.
"You are wrong!"
Ye Chen and the other two looked calm.
"Huh, arrogant! You won't even know how you die later!" The hook-nosed middle-aged man raised his right hand and was about to give the order.
On the other side, Ye Chen also raised his hand and yelled, "All of you, come out!"
His voice was mighty, and with the help of Zhen Yuan, it spread out dozens of times faster than the speed of sound. In an instant, it spread out hundreds of li.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
From the north, east, and west, more than one thousand people charged over from each direction. The people in the north were dressed in black, and they were from the Black Dragon Hall. The people in the east were dressed in red, and they were from the Red Dragon Hall. The people in the west were dressed in white, and they were from the White Dragon Hall. In addition, the leader of the White Dragon Hall was the White Dragon Hall Leader, Mo Feng.
