Strategizing
While the elders of the Starry Stronghold were agitated, Elder Tang's expression was very strange. It was not the fear of death, but a kind of relief, like he was relieved.
A person who was afraid of death, in the face of death, would have such an expression?
Ye Fei suddenly had a suspicion. Something was wrong, this Elder Tang must be hiding something. Seeing that the elders were about to drag Elder Tang out.
"Wait!"
Ye Fei stood up and walked to Elder Tang's side in large strides. He said in a deep voice, "Elder Tang, you definitely didn't betray the Stockade Master for a Life Continuing Pill. You have other reasons. If you tell me, I can consider letting the Stockade Master give you a lighter sentence!"
"What, Elder Tang is hiding something?" Zhao Shinian's gloomy eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light. Until now, she still could not believe that the elder who had taken care of her for decades would betray their relationship for a life continuing pill.
"No, I have nothing to say, I am a traitor, hurry up and kill me!" Elder Tang's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and even his tone became firm.
This was clearly not in line with his greedy personality. Ye Fei could not help but smile, understanding that Elder Tang must be hiding something.
Ye Fei did not say anything, but gave Zhao Shinian a meaningful glance. Zhao Shinian nodded knowingly, walked over, and looked at Elder Tang with a complicated expression. "Uncle Tang, I was brought up by you, in my heart, your position is as important as my father. Can't you tell me the reason why I betrayed you?"
"Miss, I can't say, I can't say!" Elder Tang desperately shook his head, but Zhao Shinian did not say anything. She just pulled out a dagger and pointed it at her own throat.
"Speak, or I will die in front of you. I was brought up by you, now, I will give my life back to you!"
"No, Miss, you can't do this, if you die, how can I face Madam!" Elder Tang finally broke down.
Ye Fei also did not expect Zhao Shinian to be so unyielding. Fortunately, Elder Tang still had a little conscience. He could only whisper with a red face, "Miss, I am sorry, I know I don't have much time left, I was muddle-headed and found a woman outside and gave birth to a son."
"What, Elder Tang has a woman outside, and even a son?" The elders of the Starry Stronghold were shocked, Ye Fei also almost vomited blood.
How was this muddle-headed, this was simply melodramatic.
One must know that Elder Tang was already several hundred years old. Furthermore, he had one foot in the coffin. Yet, he was only thinking of marrying and having children at this time. It was no wonder that Elder Tang would rather be beaten to death than admit it. It was simply too humiliating.
But Ye Fei finally understood the real reason for Elder Tang's betrayal.
It turned out that although the matter of Elder Tang marrying and having children was kept a secret, it was still discovered by Gou Yidao. So Gou Yidao captured Elder Tang's wife and children, and forced Elder Tang to be his spy, and constantly betrayed the intelligence of the Starry Stronghold. This was also the reason why Zhao Shinian discovered that the loose cultivators of the Starry Stronghold often disappeared.
They were all caught by Gou Yidao and sold to the Zheng family's mine as free labourers.
"Miss, I was muddle-headed!" After finally saying these things, Elder Tang was already too ashamed to show his face.
"Uncle Tang, you are already so old, yet you still do this kind of thing, I, I don't care about you anymore!" Zhao Shinian was both ashamed and angry. She did not know how to deal with it, so she simply shouldered the heavy sword and went into the sky to vent her anger.
The group of elders could only look at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei pondered for a moment. Now that he understood that Elder Tang was forced, he suddenly had a good idea. "Elder Tang, do you want to save your wife and children?"
"Young Master Ye, I know that you want to use me as a traitor, but that is impossible. Even if your strength is astonishing, it is impossible for you to be a match for the Zheng Family and the three great sects." Elder Tang looked at Ye Fei with a sneer and a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Evidently, he did not think highly of Ye Fei's identity as a martial artist of the Northern region.
Ye Fei was not annoyed when he heard this, but took out a token and waved it around. "If I can't do it, then what about this, it can at least give you a little confidence in me, right?"
"This, this is the Zhen Wu token of the Zhen Wu Sacred Academy? How is that possible, you are a martial artist of the Northern region, how could you have such a thing! "
Just as Ye Fei thought, the Zhong Zhou Sacred Academy was a great deterrent to martial artists from the outer seas. Seeing the Zhen Wu token with his own eyes, the disdain in Elder Tang's eyes suddenly turned into shock, and then into surprise.
If Ye Fei was alone, he would not have had much hope for Ye Fei. However, if Ye Fei was related to the Zhong Zhou Sacred Academy, then perhaps Ye Fei could really save his wife and children.
"Young Master Ye, save me!"
Elder Tang knelt down to Ye Fei on the spot.
"Elder Tang, don't worry. I can save your wife and children, as long as you cooperate with me and send a message to Gou Yidao!" Ye Fei smiled, already having a bold idea in his mind.
…
At the same time as Ye Fei was formulating his plan.
Zheng Wei had finally gathered all the troops in the mine, and with the support of the Zheng family's masters, he angrily rushed to the Star Cluster Island.
Gou Yidao immediately led some people to welcome Zheng Wei into the Star Cluster Stronghold. Just as he was about to give Zheng Wei a welcome dinner, Zheng Wei, who was in a hurry to take back his belt, waved his hands impatiently. "No need for formalities. Gou Yidao, I order you to immediately light up the stronghold and attack the Star Cluster Stronghold!"
"Yes, Gongzi's order, I, Gou Yidao, will kill everyone in the Star Cluster Fortress to vent Gongzi's anger!" Gou Yidao immediately prostrated himself, his head close to the ground, and his buttocks high up.
His comical appearance made Zheng Wei burst into laughter. He was very satisfied with Gou Yidao's performance, but he still waved his hand and ordered Gou Yidao, "Gou Yidao, you can kill the other people in the Star Cluster Fortress, but that Ye Fei and Zhao Shinian, you must capture them alive!"
"Gongzi, that Ye Fei has an ancient inheritance, we can capture him, but that Zhao Shinian, although somewhat beautiful, has a fierce personality, and is a lowly loose cultivator. Why is Gongzi so obsessed with such a woman?" Sitting next to Zheng Wei was an elder of the Zheng family.
This person was called Zheng Jing, not only was he the confidant of Zheng Wei's father, but also had the battle strength of the tenth layer of Wu Jun. When he heard that Zheng Wei wanted to take a loose cultivator as his concubine, he was inevitably displeased.
When Zheng Wei heard this, he immediately waved the crowd away, leaving only Gou Yidao to serve him, and then smiled sinisterly, "Hey, this Zhao Shinian is not as simple as a loose cultivator, her real identity is actually Zhao Qianjun's daughter!"
"What, the demon Zhao Qianjun, the Zhao Qianjun who almost destroyed the three major sects? That Zhao Shinian is actually his daughter? "Zheng Jing was greatly shocked.
Although Zhao Qianjun had only stayed in the Chaotic Ocean for a short period of time, but in one year he had reached the tenth layer of Wu Jun, and in one year he had reached the realm of a powerful person. This was enough to shock all the martial artists in the Chaotic Ocean.
