Chapter 1323: Chapter 56: Is Yemo Worthy? [2-in-1] (3)

"No need, I’ll spar with you!"

The Heavenly King Flute immediately decided, "Every night, I’ll wait for you here until you return to your peak. How about that?"

He thought very clearly, if he didn’t accompany the practice, despite Sikong Ye’s saying he’d recover in half a month, it could very well be a month or even a year!

The initiative is in Sikong Ye’s hands.

And not in his own hands.

So, he must go along with Sikong Ye.

Because, two thousand years ago, he searched the Donghu State’s underground world for Sikong Ye for several consecutive years, without results.

And at that time, Sikong Ye was even in a dying state.

Now that he’s recovered for the most part, wouldn’t he be even harder to find? If Sikong Ye doesn’t want to come out, then he definitely won’t be able to find him!

"I keep my word."

The Heavenly King Flute said, "I hope you do as well."

Sikong Ye said indifferently, "The name of Emperor Ye, though not as resonant as the Heavenly King Flute, is still somewhat stronger in reputation than yours."

His figure was in the air, in the mountain wind.

He asked gently, "How much of the ten billion you owe the Netherworld have you paid?"

His voice gradually drifted away in the air.

Clearly, he was already starting to leave.

The Heavenly King Flute didn’t pursue him, and said calmly, "The ten billion I owe the Netherworld starts from today. So, I owe ten billion forever!"

Sikong Ye’s voice carried a hint of anger, "Ning Zai Fei, you deserve death!"

Ning Zai Fei stood at the mountain peak, responded, "In this world, everyone deserves death! From the moment of birth, you deserve death!"

"Because I’ve never seen anyone truly live forever, sharing the lifespan of heaven. Junior brother, I’ll wait for you here tomorrow!"

His figure flickered and disappeared like a ghost.

Only the mournful sound of the flute resounded again, mingling with the mountain wind, howling, resembling the cries of ghosts and wails of gods.

...

Early morning.

Fang Che started reporting, "Master, we have currently locked onto the Qinglong Gang Headquarters. If Young Master Yun over there has no arrangements, then this time the Qinglong Gang will be uprooted by me. It’s quite a pity, I’ve been cleaning up the perimeter this whole period, and intended for Young Master Yun to make arrangements early, to preserve some of the upper-level strength for future use."

"Because for the disciple, this contest should end best in a draw, so that in the future, Young Master Yun will surely become a prominent figure in the sect, a victory now is actually extremely detrimental to the painstaking path you’ve arranged for the disciple in the future."

"So the disciple has been pondering this matter’s pros and cons. It’s not that the disciple is selfish, but knowing the purpose that the master has been plotting for the disciple, if they were to lose big for something small, it would be unwise."

"Moreover, this defeat wasn’t due to Young Master Yun’s miscalculation, but rather the emotional pressure from Qinglong Gang side, leading to exposure by acting on their own initiative, while Young Master Yun’s plan was actually flawless. Thus losing, inevitably led to grievances. "

"Now, if Young Master Yun quickly makes arrangements, it’s still in time. Because Southeast Headquarters has yet to initiate any action."

"Ultimately, it’s up to the master to make arrangements quickly."

After Fang Che sent the message, he waited for a response.

He knew that this step might slightly allow the Qinglong Gang high-level to escape.

But that’s okay, if they escape, they can be caught again.

The crucial point is that at this step, he’s already won.

Like the silent growth of nature.

Once you’ve won, you must show the necessary gestures, leaving the final blow for the high-level to decide.

This is a matter of balance!

I instructed you to use this matter to spar with him, decide the victor and loser, but when you’ve already won, do you directly go on to wipe out your own people? Did I instruct you to kill them?

Can’t you recognize your own victory?

Upper ranks are mostly displeased not by subordinates being foolish, nor overly scheming and selfish, but by: acting on one’s own.

Therefore, Fang Che’s report this time was extremely important.

Yin Shen Palace received the information, couldn’t help but sigh, speaking to Mu Lin Yuan, "Yemo’s mind is much sharper now, and he’s much more cautious, to the point of stopping at the final step."

A sigh, "He’s more cautious than when I arranged things; whenever I set something up, he acted so boldly. This time he knew it was an upper-level arrangement, look at his steady progress, I’m a bit surprised."

Mu Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You are his master; he’s bold naturally, for if he made a mistake, you’d at most reprimand, nothing severe; but this time it was arranged by the higher-ups, if things went wrong, his future would be ruined lightly, as for heavier consequences—life and death are at stake. Of course, he has to be more considerate."

Hearing this, Yin Shen Palace was not only not angered but rather full of pride, "You understand well."

Mu Lin Yuan turned away moodily to drink tea.

Feeling pleased, Yin Shen Palace took out a Communication Jade and activated the Five Spirits Gu.

Begin to forward messages to Yan Nan.

"Vice Sect Master, the outcome here is already decided."

There was a sense of reflection when sending this line.

When can I too use a great gang like the Qinglong Gang as a mere pawn in my game?

Those in power are truly capable of stirring the winds and rains.

He quickly sent his communication records with Yemo directly to Yan Nan.

"This is Yemo’s report. Since the news has already been received, Yemo shouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. The life and death of the Qinglong Gang’s high-ranking members still require the Vice Sect Master’s prompt decision."

When Yan Nan received the news, he was chatting with Bai Jing and Bi Changhong.

Because descendants of Bi Changhong’s family and Bai Jing’s family had a conflict in recent days, even though it wasn’t a battle between direct descendants, there were fatalities, making it quite significant.

Both sides lost three to four young members.

It has escalated into a conflict between the main families. As these two families confront each other, the undercurrents in the Weiwo Sect Headquarters are becoming turbulent.

Bi Changhong and Bai Jing didn’t really feel much about it, after all, they were separated by several generations. What feelings could they still have?

Moreover, they were not direct descendants.

And Yan Nan had these two old folks confined by his side, creating a peculiar scene.

The two families are shouting for battle and death.

While the two old ancestors sit at a table, talking and laughing conversationally.

Anyone looking from either side would find it extremely odd.

It was early morning. Yan Nan hadn’t spoken much before he received news from the Yin Shen Palace.

He picked it up and looked at it, and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

Yemo won.

And he won brilliantly, not only winning but also leaving room for maneuver, and moreover, handing it to himself for a decision.

Though Yan Nan was indifferent to such minor decisions at the lower levels.

But Yemo’s attitude was something he greatly appreciated.

What he appreciated differed from what the Yin Shen Palace valued.

The Yin Shen Palace valued the respectful attitude of ’leaving the final decision to the Vice Sect Master.’

While Yan Nan valued that ’Yemo defeated Feng Yun yet also foresaw his own future development and left room for Feng Yun.’

Though the appreciation was the same, the focus was completely different.

But while appreciating, he also felt a hint of discontent.

Didn’t this guy agree with my granddaughter? Does he want to have a foot in both camps? Not wanting to offend Feng Yun either?

Although Yan Nan knew that being at the lower levels, Yemo had such concerns which was the most correct, but as a person there is human nature. The interests of his most beloved granddaughter were taken seriously by Yan Nan.

Looking at the report, Yan Nan had a faint smile on his face, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

"What’s the matter, Fifth Brother?"

Both Bi Changhong and Bai Jing asked simultaneously.

"Yemo won a round in a covert duel with Feng Yun."

Yan Nan said: "Although Feng Yun was unaware, and his command was entirely without error, it was the lower sects acting on their own initiative that led to defeat. But defeat is still defeat."

Bi Changhong and Bai Jing nodded simultaneously, deeply agreeing with this statement.

No matter how many reasons or helpless situations you have, defeat is still defeat; no amount of excuses can turn failure into success.

"Regardless of the reason, Yemo’s ability to defeat Feng Yun is his skill!"

Bai Jing was quite satisfied.

Bi Changhong also gave a faint smile: "Back then I noticed, this guy is talented. A natural born killer and demon, with an innate talent for being an assassin. Looking at his courage and momentum, his leadership skills are not bad either. Because he can intimidate those below him!"

Bai Jing mused, "I seem to recall, Old Bi, you have a great-great-granddaughter named Bi Yunyan, who looks quite good. Since you appreciate Yemo so much..."

Bi Changhong’s face immediately turned cold: "Your family Yemo is undeserving?"

Bai Jing chuckled: "Undeserving, undeserving. I thought you were going to... Never mind, never mind."

Bi Changhong’s face became even colder.

Yan Nan sighed and gave Bai Jing a glare.

A bit speechless at Bai Jing’s maneuvering.

That sentence from Bai Jing, seemingly well-intentioned, ruined all the appreciation Bi Changhong had for Yemo!

Because that’s just how Bi Changhong is.

Besides, right now, it’s exactly like this: What level is Yemo? What status is Bi Yunyan? Is Yemo worthy?
