Chapter 1026: Chapter 1024: It’s Easy to Invite the Gods, It’s Hard to Send Them Away! [Fourth Update]
Framing a setup!
These four words appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time.
Ning Delun touched his nose with a wry smile: "I said it wouldn’t be that simple... These guys really went to great lengths to deal with us, even bringing out waterproof garments and ambergris. They’re not even afraid that we’d just run away!"
"Run?"
Qiu Yiyun snorted coldly, with a sneer, "Have you forgotten where we are? If we really run away, that would indeed confirm our guilt, and what awaits us next would be the united pursuit and killing by the powerful factions!"
"They’re betting on us not running away!" Ning Delun said.
Xiao Yi smiled: "Is there a need to run? Since they dare to act, I dare to face it! I want to see exactly what kind of scheme they’re concocting..."
At this moment.
A group of powerful individuals converged from all directions.
Aside from the strong ones from the Sea God Guild, there was also a large group of powerful people from the Sky Alliance.
Leading them was Yun Qianyue, the top master under Yun Wanli’s command, a strong person at the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak.
Yun Qianyue, dressed in crescent-moon-themed robes, had eyes as bright as the moonlight, and the aura of someone at the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak was released without reservation the moment he appeared. This was to intimidate Xiao Yi and his group, to prevent them from acting rashly!
After all.
A strong person in the Earth Venerate Realm already has the power to destroy cities and exterminate clans.
If Xiao Yi and his people act recklessly and trigger a grand battle on Changlong Island, the resulting damage would also be something they could not afford!
This was, after all, just to help Sha Tongtian stall Xiao Yi and his group.
There was no need to make a big fuss!
"What exactly is going on?" Yun Qianyue rode on a Sea Dragon Horse, eyes like lightning, and questioned.
Among the crowd of the Sea God Guild.
The manager Fish Ye was pale, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, shakily supported as he walked to the forefront. He first bowed his hands in salute to Yun Qianyue and then looked at Xiao Yi and the other two with a grief-stricken face: "Lord Yun, it was these three thieves who claimed they wanted to purchase a waterproof garment and ambergris. Naively, I believed them and took them to check the goods, but they attacked me unexpectedly and stole the ambergris and the waterproof garment..."
"Oh? There are still such lawless people under the broad daylight?"
Yun Qianyue feigned contemplation and said, "However, I can’t just listen to your side of the story. Do you have any evidence?"
"My Sea God Guild’s servant Nana can testify, they indeed claimed they wanted to purchase a waterproof garment and ambergris. Moreover, the two treasures are now on them; that’s the irrefutable evidence!" Fish Ye said sternly.
Nana stepped out from the crowd, with a face full of anxiety and fear, said: "The manager... he’s telling the truth..."
"How audacious!"
Yun Qianyue glared angrily, staring intensely at Xiao Yi and his group, "With both circumstantial and physical evidence present, what else do you have to say?"
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders: "Indeed, the items are on us, but I did pay for them. A hundred thousand source stones, already handed over to this manager called Fish Ye!"
"Nonsense, you guys attacked as soon as you saw the treasures. If I didn’t have the skill to play dead to deceive you, I would probably be under your blade by now..."
Fish Ye glared angrily, shouting in a grief-stricken voice, "Moreover, you say you gave me a hundred thousand source stones? Who can testify for you?"
Yun Qianyue’s lips curled slightly upwards, coldly said: "Fish Ye is right, what evidence do you have to prove that you gave him a hundred thousand source stones?"
Qiu Yiyun’s face darkens like charcoal: "Damn it, I knew there was something fishy about how gladly that old guy handed the goods over to us. It turns out he was waiting for this moment!"
Ning Delun gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Xiao, what should we do now?"
"Don’t rush!"
Xiao Yi’s lips curled slightly, knowing someone had been targeting him ever since he entered the dock. But since the enemy had been hidden and he exposed, he pretended not to notice the other and went along with the scheme, luring the snake out of its hole.
However...
It seems that Yun Qianyue is also not the mastermind behind the scenes, and there is someone else behind it all.
He was in no hurry to defend himself.
Xiao Yi transmitted a message to the two: "Wait and see how things unfold, let’s see what they really want to do before we act!"
He vowed to drag the mastermind behind the scenes out into the light.
Since they dare to provoke me, they should be ready to pay a painful price.
And this price...
For Xiao Yi, it is to eradicate completely!
Forever eliminate future troubles!
At this thought.
Xiao Yi raised his head to look at Yun Qianyue and spoke indifferently, "Just as I cannot prove that I’ve given them the source stones, what evidence does he have to prove that he gave me the water-repelling garment and the ambergris?"
Yun Qianyue uttered an "eh" and frowned without speaking.
Fish Ye said, "A search, of course, a search! The items are on you, and you haven’t gone far since leaving the Sea God Guild, so you certainly haven’t had time to hide them. Just open your storage rings for us to inspect, and naturally, we will know who is lying!"
"A search?"
Xiao Yi flashed a mischievous smile, his expression devilishly playful, "Searching me is easy, but what if those items aren’t found, what then will you do?"
"I, I..."
Fish Ye opened his mouth, intending to say the items would definitely be found, but upon seeing Xiao Yi’s devilish smile, he suddenly lost his confidence.
What if Xiao Yi had really hidden the items and they couldn’t find them?
It would then be a case of him framing and entrapping others.
And the consequences would be extremely miserable.
"I dare let you search, but if you find nothing, you’ll pay with your life. Do you dare to search?" Xiao Yi leaned slightly forward, each word he uttered thunderous as war drums, fiercely pounding Fish Ye’s heart.
Causing his face to turn a pale shade.
Making him even more afraid to agree to Xiao Yi’s challenge.
His eyes filled with a plea for mercy turned towards Yun Qianyue.
Yun Qianyue felt a headache forming, not expecting the situation to be so rigid, but he was only trying to tie up Xiao Yi for Sha Tongtian and not really looking to provoke such a strong opponent.
At this thought.
Yun Qianyue spoke with a cold expression, "In that case, we will imprison you first. I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and if it proves to be a false accusation by the Sea God Guild, I will ensure justice is done for you. But if it turns out that you indeed have seized the treasures, then don’t blame me for enforcing the laws of Changlong Island with severity..."
In his heart, he thought it would only be a day or two before Sha Tongtian would arrive at Changlong Island.
By then, he could hand over Xiao Yi and his party to Sha Tongtian to deal with.
No longer causing him any headache.
Yun Qianyue was inwardly proud of his sagacity.
However...
At this moment, Yun Qianyue had no idea that his actions would soon wipe out the prestige he had worked so hard to establish on Changlong Island, not to mention...
He nearly lost his life!
Of course. frёewebnoѵēl.com
All that is a story for another time.
Upon hearing Yun Qianyue’s words, Xiao Yi was even more certain that the person behind the scenes was someone else, and he simply didn’t resist. He chuckled and said, "To imprison us is easy, but let me remind you. It’s easy to invite the gods, but difficult to send them away! Today you put the three of us in jail, later, unless you kneel and beg us to come out, otherwise, we will not take half a step out of the prison!"
Ha?
You want me to kneel and beg you to come out?
You must be dreaming!
Yun Qianyue sneered in his heart, and with a cold face, he said, "Alright, if you really have the capability, why not then kneel and beg for your release?"
"Then we shall wait and see!"
Xiao Yi grinned, following Yun Qianyue towards the direction of the prison...
