Chapter 80: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves!
Since they had failed to destroy the Ye Family this time, completely eliminating them later would be much more troublesome!
Elder Zhang was furious.
What worried him even more was that everyone Chu Feng had brought with him had been wiped out so thoroughly.
Even if Soul Wanderer had made a move, could Chu Feng really have failed to arrange for anyone outside to provide support?
Nearly a hundred experts, so many Martial Grandmasters—and not a single one had managed to make it out alive?
Something about this was very abnormal!
Moreover, although Chu Feng was indeed extremely loyal, if he ever broke and exposed Elder Zhang as the person behind everything, Elder Zhang's own identity would be revealed. That would implicate the true big shots behind him and send the entire Great Xia into turmoil.
If it really triggered a full-scale counterattack from the Ye Family and even the Heavenly Dragon Army began to stir, the situation would completely spiral out of control!
“What do we do now?” The assistant was also somewhat flustered.
Soul Wanderer's decision to side with the Ye Family was an extremely powerful signal.
The Jiuzhou Group had already taken the Ye Family's side. With Soul Wanderer's influence and Lei Qianjue mediating behind the scenes, many forces that had previously refused to support the Ye Family would probably start backing them.
“Continue taking action! Immediately arrange for several other families in the provincial capital to completely suppress the Su Group.”
“We absolutely cannot let the Ye Family and the people around them have an easy time. If they have it easy, we won't have it easy either!”
Elder Zhang's expression became increasingly unsettled.
“Also, have our people thoroughly test Ye Fan. I want to know whether that idiot is actually stupid or merely pretending!”
Elder Zhang couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
So many things had happened to the Ye Family recently, yet every single matter had ultimately been handled properly, always to the Ye Family's advantage.
It seemed as though an invisible hand was controlling everything from behind the scenes.
Moreover, the owner of that invisible hand was extremely intelligent and meticulous in his thinking.
This didn't seem like something Ye Changfeng could have arranged.
But if it wasn't Ye Changfeng, then who was it?
After issuing one order after another, the entire southwestern region seemed to erupt into activity.
All the families and forces connected to Elder Zhang received orders to launch an all-out assault on the Su Group and suppress the families of the Ye Family's seven granddaughters-in-law.
This was no longer a covert struggle.
Everything had been brought into the open.
If Elder Zhang and his people didn't make some moves, they would soon find themselves in an extremely passive position.
After waving his hand and sending his assistant out of the room, Elder Zhang took out an old, battered phone and dialed an encrypted number.
“Boss! The situation has changed. My men in Yuncheng who were dealing with the Ye Family were killed by people from Soul Wanderer. The news was suppressed for the entire afternoon, and we've only just received it…”
“What is Soul Wanderer doing getting involved? Didn't we agree that the Ye Family had already suffered severe losses, leaving only one idiot and one old man, and that they could be ignored? Why did you suddenly take action again?”
The person on the other end of the phone sounded surprised and irritated upon hearing that Soul Wanderer had intervened.
“Boss, the situation is more complicated than we imagined! Although the Ye Family has suffered severe losses, there are signs that they're making a comeback recently…”
“That idiot Young Master of the Ye Family must also die. Otherwise, he'll always be a potential disaster. I'll leave the decision to you, Boss!”
“I understand. I'll think about it.”
“For the time being, you'd better keep a low profile. Don't make too many moves. The situation in the southwest is extremely complicated right now. If you're not careful and get dragged into it, you might not even know how you died.”
“And as for Chu Feng's matter, clean up your own mess. If something really happens, even I won't be able to protect you!”
“Yes!”
…
Apart from Elder Zhang keeping a close eye on the situation in Yuncheng, the Liu Family in Huadu, Tianan Province, as well as Liu Ran and Liu Zijian, were also paying close attention to what was happening there.
After receiving the news from Yuncheng, the two family heads had almost identical reactions.
“What? Captain Chu Feng was actually killed by people from Soul Wanderer? Not a single survivor?”
“Damn… Does the Ye Family really have such incredible luck? They actually managed to get Soul Wanderer to intervene?”
Liu Zijian was especially furious.
His eldest son, Liu Qingyang, had died at Ye Fan's hands. Liu Zijian had been counting on Chu Feng and his subordinates to wipe out the entire Ye Family and avenge his son.
But now even Captain Chu Feng was dead.
How the hell was he supposed to get his revenge?
According to the information Liu Zijian had received, the illegitimate son whom he had previously considered the least threatening seemed to be raising funds and was apparently preparing to move against the Liu Family and completely take it down.
“The Ye Family really is lucky. With Soul Wanderer stepping in, we're in trouble.”
With the Ye Family's support, if the Liu Family couldn't obtain support from the other forces behind Chu Feng, there was no way they could withstand Liu Wuyang's assault on the Liu Family.
As for the Liu Family, once Liu Ran received the news, his face was filled with worry as well.
“Damn it. Why is dealing with a mere Ye Family so troublesome? The Zhao Family, Wang Family, and Li Family have all been wiped out…”
A deep look flashed through Liu Ran's eyes.
He turned to his son, Liu Hao, beside him.
“Hao'er, go to Yuncheng tomorrow. Use some other methods, but be careful not to directly clash with the Ye Family…”
It wasn't that Liu Ran particularly wanted to move against the Ye Family.
The problem was that after the Zhao, Wang, and Li Families had been destroyed, it wouldn't take long for the Ye Family to investigate and discover that the three families had been backed by the Liu Family.
If the Ye Family recovered and regained its footing, they would definitely launch an all-out attack against the Liu Family.
While the Ye Family and the Su Family were still busy consolidating their strength, they had to strike first!
“Yes!”
Liu Hao nodded.
“I remember that the Liu Family and the Su Family signed a contract before. But because of the Ye Family, we never carried out that contract. Now, perhaps it can finally come in handy!”
After his son reminded him, Liu Ran's eyes lit up.
“That is indeed a good method. But you need to be careful. Liu Qingyang had the contracts left behind by Xu Jian and Xu Dong in his hands, yet he still failed to gain the upper hand.”
“Xia Hao, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and the others are no pushovers!”
“I know!”
A deep look flashed through Liu Hao's eyes.
Deep down, Liu Hao still looked down on Ye Fan and Su Yixue.
One was a fool, while the other came from nothing more than a small family in Yuncheng.
How much trouble could the two of them possibly cause?
As long as they didn't provoke a behemoth like Soul Wanderer, there shouldn't be any major problems.
…
Yuncheng, Su Family Villa.
After an entire night of intimacy, Su Yixue lay weakly in Ye Fan's arms, her eyes hazy as she looked at him.
She was also curious.
Wasn't Ye Fan still in his foolish state?
How could he have so much energy?
More importantly, every time she became intimate with Ye Fan, she received a warm current in return. In just a few days, she had already gained tremendous benefits.
Her physical constitution had become stronger, and Su Yixue herself had already reached the level of a Martial Grandmaster through martial force cultivation.
If this continued, even an ordinary person like Su Yixue, who didn't practice cultivation, might eventually become a Martial Grandmaster-level expert.
Ye Fan had also noticed the changes in the martial force within Su Yixue's body.
Holding her in his arms, he began thinking to himself.
He should probably find someone with decent martial arts skills to guide Su Yixue.
And Captain Niu Er of Soul Wanderer seemed like a pretty good candidate…
