The Gao Family's internal strife
Wei Jie's eyes flashed as he glanced at Ye Zichen. Twenty percent of the factions in the Lower Lands had yet to unite, and most of them belonged to families sent down from the Divine Mountains.
They all had the backing of the Divine Mountains, so most of them disdained Upheaval and the Parliament of Stars' factions.
Ice Blue City's Gao Family was one of them.
Ye Zichen didn't answer right away. Instead, he sat on a chair and pondered. Little White glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but speak up.
"Are you talking about the Gao Family sent down by the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family?"
When he said that, Wei Jie and Ye Zichen both looked at him.
"The Parliament of Stars knows about this too?"
Although Ye Zichen had already told Wei Jie that the Parliament of Stars was on his side, they'd been at war for over half a year, and there had been constant friction between them. Suddenly saying they were on the same side was still a bit jarring, so much so that when they spoke, it sounded as though they were going tit for tat.
Little White understood, so he didn't mind Wei Jie's tone. He frowned and nodded.
"I know a bit, but not all that much. However, Yin Shang specifically told us to watch out for the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family. Boss …. "
Although Lil 'White didn't finish his sentence, Ye Zichen already knew what he wanted to convey.
It seemed the Xiao Family and Yin Shang weren't on the same side.
Gao Yunting and the Gao Family's falling out was absolutely good news for Ye Zichen. He'd be delighted to see the Xiao Family's backyard in flames.
But as for whether or not to interfere, he had no choice but to consider it carefully. Exposing himself to the Xiao Family too early wasn't necessarily a good thing.
"What's the Gao Family's situation like right now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jie immediately responded.
"Our spies sent word that Gao Yunting has gathered all of his forces and is launching a counterattack against the Gao Family. More than forty percent of the Gao Family's subordinate clans and factions are on his side. The odds are sixty to forty, but no matter who wins in the end, the Gao Family's forces will suffer the most. "
Ye Zichen shook his head. Although Wei Jie's answers were detailed, he didn't get the information he wanted.
Since the Gao Family was in chaos, there was no way the Xiao Family wouldn't send any reinforcements. He wanted to know which side the Xiao Family was on.
"Boss?"
Wei Jie sensed Ye Zichen's dissatisfaction with the news, so he probed. Ye Zichen didn't beat around the bush.
"Didn't the Xiao Family come?"
"This …"
Wei Jie was at a loss for words. His subordinates hadn't mentioned the Xiao Family when they'd sent him the message. The contents were all about the Gao Family and what they were going to do.
At this time, Wei Jie's jade slip suddenly flashed with light.
He lifted the jade slip and probed it with his immortal sense. Not long after, he put it down again and said with a smile.
"Boss, you really are amazing! As soon as you mentioned the Xiao Family, our subordinates said that the head of the Gao Family brought several supreme-level experts with him. As soon as the supreme-level experts appeared, Gao Yunting's forces were immediately routed. He's already making his final desperate counterattack. Those Supreme experts must have been sent by the Xiao Family. "
"That's right." Ye Zichen nodded calmly, then understood the situation. "Let's not interfere with the Gao Family's affairs. Let them fight amongst themselves."
Wei Jie nodded. Now that the Xiao Family had sent reinforcements, even if they wanted to attack, they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
Rather than forcefully interfering with the Gao Family and wasting their forces, they might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight.
"Don't stay here for too long," said Ye Zichen calmly. Ye Zichen's eyes flashed with inexplicable, vicious light. "When you get back, pay close attention to the Gao Family's situation. Although the Gao Family has the protection of the Xiao Family, that doesn't mean they'll stay there forever. So long as they leave … hmph, you know what I mean, right? "
Ye Zichen had a deep grudge with the Xiao Family ever since he was in the Three Realms. Although he wasn't strong enough to deal with the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family yet, he'd deal with them as interest.
Wei Jie's eyes lit up, and he smirked and nodded.
"Understood."
Upheaval's grandiose group left Little White's residence. As someone who'd been by Ye Zichen's side this entire time, Little White was well aware of the conflict between the Xiao Family and Ye Zichen. He also knew just how deep his boss's hatred for the Xiao Family ran.
In that incomparable war, the Beast Region, Immortal Region, Heavenly Court, and Underworld had all suffered grievous losses.
Among them were warriors who'd shed blood for the sake of their descendants, as well as friends and lovers who were extremely important to Ye Zichen.
After all that, Little White knew just how shaken Ye Zichen's heart was when he heard about the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family despite his calm exterior.
Xia Keke ….
She'd died to help him block divine lightning, hadn't she?
"Boss."
He wanted to say something to comfort Ye Zichen, but he didn't know what to say. Little White was no longer a simple, useless poodle. His experiences had taught him what he could say and what he could only keep to himself.
In the end, all he could say was a gentle pat on the shoulder. Ye Zichen sensed Little White's worry and couldn't help but smile.
"It's nothing. You don't have to be like this. Besides …. Keke might not even be dead."
"Boss, you're saying …."
Little White's eyes instantly widened. He saw Ye Zichen smile at him, then look across the River Styx and sighed.
"She might be deep within the Yao Realm, but I'm not too sure."
Gu Zichen was the one who'd told him all this information. He had no way of knowing for sure whether it was true or not, but he'd rather believe it was.
"I'll send someone to investigate right away. If I find out anything, I'll let you know right away."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"There's no need for that."
Little White grinned at Ye Zichen, then left in a hurry. He was most likely going to contact his clan to investigate Xia Keke's situation.
Celestial Devourer Dogs were primordial divine beasts, after all. They'd more or less interacted with sacred dragons.
With Little White's help, it might not be long before they found out whether Xia Keke's information was true or not.
So long as he closed his eyes, Ye Zichen's mind would still be filled with images of Xia Keke in her golden dragon form. She'd used her body to shield him from the heavenly lightning. She'd let the lightning shatter her dragon scales until she died.
He'd never forget that for the rest of his life. At the same time …. He'd never forget his enmity with the Xiao Family.
While the Xiao Family's divine lightning had repelled him, it'd harmed far too many people important to him. This enmity ….
He'd get his revenge!
