Stone Mountain Pass.
The people from the three clans gathered together, but they were all at loggerheads. All of this was because each of them had suffered heavy losses in this hunt.
First, the Lei Clan was ambushed. Then, the Lei Clan allied with the Tuoba Clan and suddenly attacked when the Ye Clan was dealing with a fourth-grade spirit beast, killing dozens of Ye Clan members.
As a result, a battle took place in Stone Mountain Pass, and it only ended when the hunt ended.
The three clans were all in a frenzy. The Tuoba Clan originally didn't have any enmity with the Ye Clan, but they became enemies in this hunt.
The Lei Clan suffered heavy losses. Of the three remaining elders in the Gathering Tripod Realm, two were killed in the battle. Even Lei Qing was heavily injured.
Out of the eight elders in the Ye Clan, five died, and six died in the Tuoba Clan. All the disciples below the Gathering Tripod Realm suffered heavy losses.
This made Tuoba Yun very angry. As the Palace Lord of the Human Emperor Palace, although he didn't care about the conflicts between the three clans, he couldn't ignore such heavy losses when the Beast Tide was approaching.
"A bunch of idiots. Do you want Stone Mountain City to be erased from the Tianlong Kingdom?" Tuoba Yun, who rarely had a temper, stared at the three clans and cursed.
Although the three Clan Lords were very unhappy, they all shut their mouths. No one said anything about seeking revenge.
"Speak, who started the conflict?" Tuoba Yun asked.
Seeing the Palace Lord staring at him, Lei Qing felt goosebumps all over his body, but he insisted, "The Ye Clan killed my Lei Clan members, set a trap, and used Ye Tianze …"
"Bullsh * t!" Ye Tianhai was furious, "After entering the hunting zone, we have never seen Ye Tianze. How could we ally with him?"
"Shut up, all of you!" Tuoba Yun interrupted them and swept his gaze over the crowd. "Where's Ye Tianze?"
Only then did the crowd remember this instigator, but they didn't see him at all.
"He died a long time ago." Elder Qiu, who was not far away, laughed, "Do you think he is still alive?"
"Whether he is alive or not is not up to you to decide." Tuoba Yun glanced at him coldly and immediately took out a whistling arrow.
After a while, a dozen black figures rushed out from Stone Mountain Pass.
"Greetings, Hall Master." They walked in unison.
Lei Qing jumped in fright when he saw the black-robed men. He thought that they were the same black-robed men from before. When he saw the symbol of the Human Emperor Palace, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Elder Qiu was also shocked. He could tell that these people were all experts.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, we have checked the hunting area and found no one left behind," said the leader of the black-clothed men.
Hearing this, Lei Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although the whereabouts of the three elders were still unknown, he was certain that Ye Tianze was definitely dead.
Once Ye Tianze died, there would be no evidence. The incident with the Huang Family could also be covered up. As long as they insisted that it was the Ye Family who did it, no one would suspect anything.
Tuoba Yun's expression was gloomy, but he had no choice but to give up. He glanced at the crowd and warned, "If you don't want to be annihilated by the beast tide, I advise all of you to stop!"
Although the three great clans were not convinced, they could only swallow their anger when they heard about the beast tide.
"The Lei Family did well this time. The Moon Clan will definitely not mistreat you," said Elder Qiu. "Oh right, don't worry about the beast tide. I've already sent a message to the clan. There will be experts from the clan coming to help."
The three great clans immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but Tuoba Yun's expression was not good.
Qiu Zhenming was obviously not giving him face. He was telling the three great clans that the Moon Clan could do what the Human Emperor Palace could not.
Lei Qing also smiled. Although the Lei Family had suffered a great loss this time, if they could get help from the Moon Clan, even if it was just a little bit, it would be immeasurable for the Lei Family.

However, just as Tuoba Yun was about to count the clans and make a ranking, a voice suddenly sounded from afar.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Elder Qiu. Although I'm weak, I still have the ability to survive."
Everyone looked towards the mountain pass and saw a young man walking over quickly. In a short while, he arrived in front of them.
"How is this possible?!" Lei Qing looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Everyone present was stunned, especially Elder Qiu. He immediately stared at Lei Qing but found that Lei Qing lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
"I seem to remember that I have no enmity with the Lei Family!" Ye Tianze glanced at Lei Qing.
"You teamed up with Ye Tianhai to scheme against the Lei Family. Are you trying to deny it?" Lei Qing could only force himself to continue.
"What happened?" Tuoba Yun asked coldly.
"Of course it was a frame-up." Ye Tianze smiled and said, "Not only did Lei Qing deliberately frame you, but he also dragged the Tuoba family down with him."
"Bullsh * t!" Lei Qing looked up.
However, when he saw Ye Tianze's eyes, he felt uneasy. He was worried that Ye Tianze would expose the Huang Family.
At this moment, the Tuoba Family members all had strange expressions.
"If the Lei Family framed you, then how did the Lei Family members die?" Tuoba Yun asked.
"I killed them," Ye Tianze replied.
"Hiss!"
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Lei Qing looked at him in disbelief. He couldn't understand why Ye Tianze would say that.
"See? He admitted it himself. He teamed up with the Ye Family to scheme against the Lei Family!" Lei Qing reacted quickly. "Lord Hall Master, he didn't even take your words seriously!"
"I said that I killed them, but I didn't say that I teamed up with the Ye Family," Ye Tianze replied.
The mountain pass was silent. Everyone looked at him in shock. Lei Qing was even more incredulous.
"You overestimate yourself. You think you can kill five Gathering Tripod Realm martial artists by yourself?" Qiu Zhenming mocked.
"Of course, I can't kill them by myself. However, if I lure them to the nest of those high level spirit beasts, or if I hide behind them while they are fighting with the spirit beasts …" Ye Tianze stared at Lei Qing as he spoke.
Lei Qing's brain buzzed. His expression was extremely ugly. Others might not understand Ye Tianze's words, but he understood them clearly.
Ye Tianze's "spirit beasts" were referring to the Huang Family. He had known about the Huang Family for a long time, but pretended not to know so that both parties would fight.
However, he was even more terrified of the deaths of those who stayed behind!
If there weren't any hidden experts from the Huang Family in the hunting zone, that meant that those who stayed behind were all killed by Ye Tianze!
"It's … it's you … it's actually … you!" Lei Qing couldn't believe that the person he framed was the real murderer.
From the beginning to the end, he had been played in the palm of his hand.
"There are so many people in Stone Stage City, but you chose me to be your opponent. Tell me, isn't the Lei Family very stupid?" Ye Tianze asked.
"You!!!" Lei Qing gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to attack Ye Tianze.
This was because Ye Tianze was hiding another secret.
The crowd, who thought that Ye Tianze was bragging, fell silent. They never would have thought that the dead Lei Family members were all killed by Ye Tianze.
