The Ying family suffered heavy losses in the last battle with Xu Yuehuai. Countless treasures were lost. If they were to fail like this, not only would they not be able to get those lost items back, but others might even take more of them. The Ying family would be completely wiped out, becoming the first hidden clan to be eliminated.
He hurried towards the place he remembered, his eyes filled with anxiety. His steps were relentless, each step a struggle, a testament to his helplessness. The journey to the backyard was smooth until he encountered the ancient man, who had caused such a commotion. The man immediately berated him, "What are you doing here! Do you know how chaotic things are up front? If you keep this up, what will I feed the ruins? How am I supposed to lead us to become kings?"
Elder Ying frowned. He felt that the person in front of him was somewhat ungrateful, but he himself didn't seem to realize it and even looked smug, thinking that this was something to be happy about.
The elder of the Ying family said in a gloomy tone, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and release them. Releasing them now might still offer a glimmer of hope, but if you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite later."
"You're welcome? This is the territory of the Ancient Clan. Are you going to be impolite to me on Ancient Clan territory?" The Ancient Clan man looked at the person in front of him with some doubt and uncertainty in his eyes, but he didn't explain himself clearly.
"You ruined my plans, do you think I should be nice to you?" the elder of the Ying family said in an unfriendly tone.
"And didn't you already agree to work with me on my plan? So what are you doing now? Are you regretting it?" The elder of the Ying family still needed this man, so he didn't want to offend him and spoke very carefully.
But the man in front of him didn't seem to think he had much of a relationship with this guy. He said with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Do you really need to come all this way to tell me about something so trivial? I regret it now and don't want to work with you anymore, okay?"
The ancient man didn't consider the life or death of the person in front of him at all when he spoke. He refused without hesitation. Just as he was about to get angry, he stopped abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "You can't do this. This is something we agreed on a long time ago. What am I supposed to do if you change your mind? You can't do this."
The elders of the Ying clan transformed all the swear words they wanted to say into the phrase "You can't do this," but whether or not to listen was up to the men of the ancient clan.
The very real problem is that he simply doesn't listen to this matter, leaving the elders of the Ying family completely bewildered by this series of actions.
Xu Yuehuai, who was standing next to the two people, listened to their conversation. While they were talking, she also realized some other things, such as whether this matter was true or not, or whether it was a lie from the beginning, a conspiracy designed by the person in front of her to trick her, but she not only did not realize it, but also jumped into the pit on her own.
Xu Yuehuai gave a bitter laugh, suddenly wondering if things would have turned out differently if she hadn't heard those words in the first place.
But there aren't so many "what ifs" in this world. What's done is done, and it's become a fait accompli, so there's nothing more to say.
“I think you’re being a bit too impulsive right now. Maybe that’s not what you really think. It’s not too late for you to regret your decision to continue working with me on this big heist. Turning back now is a good thing, don’t you think?” Elder Ying didn’t want to give up on such a talented person, so he spoke to him gently and persuasively.
But the ancient man slapped him against the wall. "I think you're very noisy and not likable at all, so you should be quiet. But looking at you, I think it's difficult for you to quiet down on your own, so I don't mind helping you quiet down."
As he spoke, the man's pupils suddenly changed color, flashing by so quickly that Xu Yuehuai couldn't even make out what color it was.
After the ancient man finished dealing with the elder of the Ying family, he turned to the remaining people, spread his hands, and said, "Look, this is what happens when you don't obey. So if you want to live, you'd better do as I say, understand? I don't like anyone going against what I want to do."
The ancient man spoke, pursing his lips with a slight smile on his face.
Xu Yuehuai and the others didn't speak, but that was tantamount to tacitly agreeing to it. The group sat there discussing where they should go in the end, their words tinged with uncertainty. Xu Yuehuai looked at the scene on the screen. Judging by their speed, Baili Xiuwen and the others should have already arrived at the backyard and started looking for them.
The powerful burst of spiritual energy that just erupted around them meant that finding this place wouldn't be difficult; it would be a piece of cake for them.
So when they arrived, Xu Yuehuai looked up at them. At that moment, she actually wished they hadn't come, because this person was very powerful.
When they saw the Ying family elder lying dead on the wall with his eyes wide open, their pupils contracted. The next second, Zi Sangyi said with a grin, "Hey, you guys got here pretty fast. Since you're here, come and watch the show together. Come on over, don't make a fuss, he doesn't like noise."
The ancient man turned around and looked at Zisangyi with some surprise upon hearing her words. "You're right. I really like your attitude. You should remember this attitude. If you don't, I'll get angry. And if I get angry, the consequences will be much more serious than they are now." The ancient man returned to his original demeanor, speaking and acting with a touch of joking.
Baili Xiuwen looked at Xu Yuehuai, and only when he saw that she was not injured did his heart finally relax. Nangong Yu looked at Zisangyi and instantly understood what he wanted to do.
Since we can't defeat the enemy, we should first infiltrate their ranks, demoralize them, and make them think that this is easy and effortless.
He opened his mouth, exhaled, and said with a smile, "Why are you all so late? You've missed the best part."
Baili Xiuwen looked at Nangong Yu, while Shi Mu looked at the scene and was a little confused about what they were doing.
