Ye Xingchen glanced at Tianming: "You think you're very loyal and righteous?"
"That's right, I am loyal, I am righteous." Tianming said through gritted teeth, "You surnamed Ye, I can't beat you, but even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go, I..."
*Poof...* A streak of light pierced through his chest. The guy's expression froze, then he collapsed to his knees with a thud. He stared wide-eyed at Ye Xingchen in disbelief before falling to the ground, dead.
"What kind of righteousness is this eunuch who has no roots?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
"The time I agreed with Jin Zhihuan has arrived. Since Jin Zhihuan is not coming out, I have no choice but to send his son back. Of course, I will send him back in batches."
"Suit yourself." Tian Si shook his head somewhat disheartened: "You are the victor, you can decide our life and death at will, and I have nothing to say regardless of the outcome."
"Alright, I'll see you off." Ye Xingchen nodded and turned to leave.
He took seven steps in succession. After he took seven steps, a sword circle suddenly appeared around the Five Guards, and then transformed into a halo of light that spread in all directions.
The five guards collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound, their blood slowly seeping from beneath them, staining the ground beneath them red.
"Jin Zhihuan, the time we agreed upon has come." Ye Xingchen murmured, "Since you couldn't make a choice, let me make the choice for you."
Night, inside the Yushan Prison, Ye Xingchen met Jin Xiang.
Jin Xiang's hands trembled uncontrollably, a result of his drug withdrawal.
Despite being born into royalty, this guy is no different from an ordinary person once he becomes addicted to drugs.
He was trying his best to remain calm, perhaps this was the last bit of dignity he had left as a descendant of royalty.
Seeing him panting heavily, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh: "Looks like you already know what your fate will be without me having to tell you?"
"Today is the final deadline. If my dad can't get me out by then, there are only two possibilities... First, you've achieved your goal; second... he can't get me out." Jin Xiang composed himself.
"Smart, so what do you think the outcome will be?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
“He couldn’t possibly bet the entire future of Jinluo City on me, so there’s only one possibility: he’s given up on me.” Jin Xiang’s hands trembled even more violently.
Although he had already guessed this possibility, he still couldn't help but be afraid, and he hoped to hear another ending from Ye Xingchen.
Unfortunately, Ye Xingchen's answer made his heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
“That’s right, he gave up on you.” Ye Xingchen smiled: “Actually, it’s not that he gave up, but rather that he had no better options.”
"So far, three groups of people have come to rescue you: mercenaries from abroad, Master Liang from Jinling, and the Six Great Eunuchs."
"They... all failed?" Jin Xiang's face paled even more, and his gaze towards Ye Xingchen was filled with fear.
"It's not so much a failure as a complete defeat; it was a hopeless situation. Apart from Master Liang escaping unscathed, the rest of us lost our lives here," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
He pressed his hands on the table, putting pressure on Jin Xiang: "They went to great lengths just to save a good-for-nothing like you. I feel sorry for them."
"Have the Six Grand Eunuchs arrived too? How are they doing now?" Jin Xiang asked with his last glimmer of hope that the Six Grand Eunuchs had not yet made a move.
Because he understood the Six Great Supervisors. Although they were nominally established by his father to maintain royal traditions, in reality, these Six Great Supervisors were the assassins raised by the Kim family.
If the Six Grand Eunuchs haven't made their move yet, he still has hope, because he believes that at the last moment, even if the Six Grand Eunuchs have to force their way into the military camp and risk their lives, they will still make a scene.
"Someone should be collecting their bodies now." Ye Xingchen's words made Jin Xiang's heart sink to the bottom.
He roared, "Impossible... Absolutely impossible! Those six people possessed the Rootless Scripture. They were assassins raised by the Jin family. Their combined strength was enough to withstand a Saint-level expert. They couldn't have just disappeared without a trace."
"In fact, they really did die silently." Ye Xingchen looked at the guy with a hint of pity.
"The Six Supervisors did their best, but they were powerless to help you. So you should give up now, because no one can save you anymore."
Thump... Jin Xiang slumped into a chair, his face ashen, gasping for breath.
He knew he was finished, completely finished.
The Six Great Supervisors were his last hope; if even the Six Great Supervisors were defeated, then his life would be in dire straits.
"If you have any last words, then say them as soon as possible," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Your father won't come to save you, and with his pride, he thinks that even if the time we agreed on comes, I won't dare to do anything to you."
“Yes, he will think that way, but I’ve met you, I know you better than he does, you will kill me… kill me without hesitation.” Jin Xiang’s voice trembled slightly as he shakily raised his head to look at Ye Xingchen.
“You’re more pragmatic than your father, but unfortunately it’s useless.” Ye Xingchen slowly shook his head: “Since you have nothing more to say, then I’ll see you off.”
"Ye Xingchen, I still have value to you." Jin Xiang said in a trembling voice, "Don't kill me. If you kill me, you will never be able to enter Jinluo City silently."
"That's strange, why would I want to enter Jinluo City quietly?" Ye Xingchen looked at him curiously.
"Do you... intend to just walk in openly like this?" Jin Xiang was stunned.
“That’s right, go in openly and honestly, and declare war on your father.” Ye Xingchen laughed: “What do you think I came here for? Brother, I’m here to destroy your Jinluo City.”
"Do you think you can destroy Jinluo City all by yourself?" Jin Xiang said angrily. "Do you really think Jinluo City is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"That's not it. I'm well aware of your strength," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "You have an exceptionally powerful organization supporting you behind the scenes. Although I don't know the name of this organization, I don't want to confront it directly."
"Because Jinluo City is just the tip of the iceberg of this organization. Even so, it is already so powerful. The true strength of this organization is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
"Then how arrogant are you to think that you can challenge the entire Jinluo City on your own?" Jin Xiang seemed somewhat angry.
