Chapter 498After a short while, Hai Dongchen waved his hand and everyone left in a satisfied manner.After all, there was no reason not to accept a pie dropped by the world if one could easily complete a mission and receive a reward for it.
After they left, Old Li pursed his lips, tightly gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, and pulled Hai Dongchen’s short robe. His expression had a hint of doubt.
“Brother Dongchen, don’t you think something’s wrong? The fugitive that Ye Feng managed to capture is giving us the reward just like that. This is too weird, isn’t it?”
“Even if it’s strange, so what?”
Hai Dongchen laughed and asked a question back.
“What?” Old Li’s expression froze.
“He’s pretending to be ignorant, and we can pretend to be ignorant as well. He clearly left us the land bridge, and that is already a hint to us, if that’s the case, then there’s no need to go back on his word. Everyone will get their own benefits, and it’ll be even better if we meet him in the future.”
“This …”
Old Li’s face stiffened, revealing a look of understanding.
He originally thought that Hai Dongchen wasn’t thinking deeply enough. Turns out that the person who was truly inconsiderate was him.
Sometimes, as long as they took each other’s face into consideration, they could come to an understanding.
If he continued to pester her, then he would lose all sense of the world and lose all sense of humor.
His eyes lit up. “So that’s how it is. Since Brother Dongchen is thinking about it, then let him do whatever he wants.”
… ….
Some of them stopped when they saw the good news, and left just like that,
However, they couldn’t be expected to be tactful.
In reality, it is not always ideal.
“Daoist Master Ye …” “Wait a minute, please wait a moment.”
Hua Tianli snorted coldly as he stared at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled, “Oh, you people from Copper Fire City should have seen enough. Now, do you have any other questions?”
A sneer appeared on Hua Tianli’s face, “What are you watching for? Without Master Qin and I guarding the exit, I’m afraid that the fugitives would have already escaped. If you want us to leave, that’s fine, but you have to tell us all the information you got before you die, it can be considered as the reward that you, Master Ye, should pay.”
“… “People of Copper Fire City, don’t go too far.” A few of the Mysterious Gate’s outer sect disciples couldn’t suppress the anger in their hearts and stepped forward from behind Ye Feng.
“We’ve gone too far. Then you tell me, do you think Master Qin of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is okay? He doesn’t seem to be revealing anything.” Hua Tianli sneered.
His words purposely brought the name “Master Qin” to bear.
It was very obvious that even a fool could tell that there was a conflict between Ye Feng and Qin Juexin. It was a place they could take advantage of.
Just as expected, after Qin Juexin heard this, she did not express anything and silently accepted Hua Tian Li’s harsh treatment of Ye Feng.
To be honest, she also wanted to know what happened between Ye Feng and the fugitives. Did they get any valuable information?
“You!” The outer sect disciples wanted to curse back at Hua Tianli, but they couldn’t do anything as he brought out the Mysterious Gate’s master. They held back their anger and had no choice but to give up.
Ye Feng chuckled and nodded slightly.
“It doesn’t matter. What do you want to know? It’s about the fugitives. Alright, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Ye Feng’s answer was as calm as the waves.
“What?!”
When these words were spoken, not to mention Qin Jue Xin and the others, even Hua Tian Li was also overwhelmed with shock.
He had originally thought that it would take a lot of effort for Ye Feng to spit out the truth. Who would have thought that Ye Feng would let go so easily without any resistance.
“I am a person who does not easily form enmity and do not like to waste time. Since you have asked, I will tell you. Be straightforward. Is there a problem?”
Ye Feng’s eyes were full of mystery as he spoke the last sentence, “Besides, aren’t we pursuing the fugitives together? Comrade!”
“This… “It’s for the best if you think this way.” Hua Tianli nodded with a slightly numb face. However, an unexplainable chill flowed in his heart.
Very good, then let me summarize briefly. Firstly, Qin Xiao, Feng Mo and the others are a group of people who know how to control ghost servants. They are similar to those ghost servants we saw in the Spiritual Martial Sect.
“… “You …” Hua Tianli felt a chill in his heart as he was being looked at. He immediately glared at him.
Ye Feng smiled and stared at the expressions of Hua Tian Li and the others.
“The second point, is that the person who silenced Feng Mo and the others, is Qin Xiao.”
“What? Qin Xiao was the one who said it. Does that mean he’s not far from here?”
Upon hearing these words, Hua Tianli’s face abruptly changed. He and his companions turned around to look at their surroundings, as if someone was staring at them.
Ye Feng smiled faintly as if he didn’t care and didn’t answer him.
“Next, there is a third point. It is not what has happened, but my deduction. You can just treat it as a kind of hypothesis.”
“What exactly is the hypothesis? Don’t keep me in suspense.” Hua Tianli’s expression slightly changed. Now, his heart was anxious as he almost blurted out these words.
After all, those who could kill their own men were even more ruthless towards others.
Ye Feng stared at Hua Tian Li, “That is, Qin Xiao is very likely going to target you and take your life if you are caught off guard.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overwhelmed with shock.
Hua Tianli’s expression also changed again and again.
“This… “Impossible, you are saying these words to intimidate us. Our mission is not to kill him.”
“But let me ask you, how did Qin Xiao know that you weren’t chasing him?”
Ye Feng laughed coldly and immediately asked a rhetorical question. Hua Tianli was also frozen on the spot.
That’s right, only they knew what was written on the black bracelet. It was impossible for Qin Xiao to know the specific targets of each team.
“Also, as I said, this is only a hypothesis. As for whether you believe it or not, it’s your own matter and it has nothing to do with me. Of course, you need to know that there are some things that you would rather believe it than not, otherwise, it’s not impossible for you to die.”
Ye Feng shrugged after he finished talking, but his expression was very gloomy.
If he gave Hua Tianli a conclusion, he would naturally be questioned by the other party and leave it at that.
However, what he had given her was just a hypothesis with endless possibilities. That was why he had made her even more suspicious. From a threatening point of view, the results would be even better.
“You …”
The corner of Hua Tianli’s mouth twitched for a while. His face revealed a look of understanding.
“Oh… I understand, Ye Feng, you have purposely said the seriousness of the situation, this way, you can persuade us to join your team and work together to deal with that Qin Xiao, isn’t it, good Ye Feng, that’s a good plan, but, do you think that just because you’re acting like this, you can forcefully pull us down, to be on the same side with you, it’s absolutely impossible. ”
Earlier, he had said “Daoist Master Ye”, but now that he had said it like this, he no longer had any scruples in his heart.
“Is it possible? It isn’t up to you to decide, but it was decided by your fellow brothers and sisters in Copper Fire City. I have to ask you, how could you exceed your authority and make a decision that would affect your family and life?”
Ye Feng laughed coldly and looked at the people behind Hua Tian Li.
Hua Tian Li could rope Qin Jue Xin and Ye Feng could also rope him and his fellow disciples in. Everything would depend on the conditions and people.
“Big Brother Tian Li …. “What Ye Feng said seems to make sense. Then tell me, what do we do now?”
“Yeah, I think it’s possible what Ye Feng said. After all, he is a fugitive from the ninth level of difficulty. He must be ruthless when doing things. Who knows, he might really be targeting our lives.”
At this moment, Hua Tianli was extremely furious. How could he still listen to the words of others?
“You bunch of bastards. Up till now, don’t you understand the situation? Ye Feng wants to pull us from a neutral position into a fire pit. If you want to live, then don’t get involved with him.”
“But, Big Brother Tian Li …” Some people are still a little wobbly,
After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Are you done yet? Calm down and listen clearly, all we need to do now is to do our best to catch that rank 5 fugitive. If you understand, then follow me and don’t get involved with the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
“Yes, yes …”
It was the first time that a group of disciples from Copper Fire City had seen Hua Li get so angry, causing their hearts to tremble.
Hua Tian Li snorted angrily before coldly glaring at Ye Feng. Ye Feng’s face was expressionless.
He then shook his long sleeve and walked towards the outside of the village.
“Everyone, come with me.”
After an unknown period of time …
Suddenly, someone caught up to Hua Tianli and walked beside him. “Big brother Tian Li, big brother Tian Li, slow down …”
“What? Do you want to go back and find Ye Feng? Do you think it’s safe to follow him? If you want to go, then go. I’ll come back the next day to collect your corpse.”
“That’s not what I meant, Big Brother Tian Li …. I was afraid that you would blame me afterwards, so I came over to say that there seemed to be a special smoke coming out from that village, where Ye Feng was … ” A white-masked youngster saw that his expression was not good, so he could only smile apologetically. He could not help but open his mouth and say,
“Smoke? What’s so special about that? Maybe the farmers were the ones cooking. What’s there to say about such a small thing …” “Wait.”
As the sound of his voice faded, Hua Tian Li’s expression trembled as though he had thought of something. His expression slightly changed.
Most of the people in this village had turned into ghost servants. There were no longer any survivors.
The white-masked youngster pursed his lips and continued speaking …
“Big Brother Tian Li, when I was in Copper Fire City, I studied the Dao of alchemy as a child. That smoke is not ordinary, maybe this is … “Pill refining smoke …”
