Chapter 161: The Greater Mastermind
Chapter 161: The Greater Mastermind
Ye Feng raised his hand like lightning, and in an instant, he had grasped the wrist of the Northern Mountain Marquis, who, no matter how much he struggled, couldn’t break free.
"This... how is this possible!"
The Northern Mountain Marquis’s face showed an extreme look of horror. After all, he was in the realm of a Half-Step Martial King, with combat power far beyond that of any ordinary Huajin Grandmaster, and he had always concealed his strength without ever revealing it over the years.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Moreover, he knew that although Ye Feng was the Northern Border King, at that time he was merely at the realm of a Half-Step Martial King, but now...
Now the Northern Mountain Marquis could feel that Ye Feng’s body was like an unmoving mountain, while inside him seemed to be an unfathomable abyss, inscrutable, and as for his Inner Strength, he couldn’t sense it at all.
"Half-Step Martial King realm, you’ve indeed hidden deeply, but in my presence, you are still nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!"
Ye Feng sneered, and suddenly exerted force.
Right after, the Northern Mountain Marquis felt a mighty surge of Inner Strength come crashing towards him like a tiger descending a mountain, aiming straight for his body.
Then the Northern Mountain Marquis heard a cracking sound, as his arm’s joints were directly broken.
At that moment, Tang Feng threw out a punch, aimed at his chest.
The Northern Mountain Marquis wanted to dodge, but he was shocked to find that he couldn’t move at all, as Ye Feng’s imposing manner was like a mountain, completely pressing him down.
With one punch aimed at his chest, the Northern Mountain Marquis immediately let out a piercing scream as all his organs and even his heart were shattered by the punch.
"You..." The Northern Mountain Marquis couldn’t even finish his sentence before he breathed his last, his eyes wide open, unable to close even in death. Experience more on empire
He had calculated everything perfectly, first bribing Mu Tian’s trained guard Seventeen to monitor Ye Feng’s every move, waiting for the perfect moment to strike a deadly blow to Ye Feng in collaboration with the Gu&Poison Sect.
But he had miscalculated one crucial move, the Northern Border King was still the Northern Border King, far beyond his capacity to plot against!
Ye Feng, unperturbed, turned to look at the Gu Poison Sect Master beside him.
At that moment, the Gu Poison Sect Master was full of vigor, despite facing the siege of the Four Great Protectors, he was still holding his ground without showing any signs of weakness.
"Kill!" Ye Feng roared in anger and joined the fray.
When the Gu Poison Sect Master saw the person suddenly joining in, his complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out in shock, "You... how are you still not dead?"
The other Gu&Poison Sect disciples, upon seeing this, had already become scared to death, each fleeing in panic.
"Kill, spare none!" Ye Feng gave the command.
The tide of battle reversed in an instant; the Four Great Protectors all took action, and soon the battle was over. Over thirty elite members of the Gu&Poison Sect, along with more than thirty High-Level Grandmasters brought by the Northern Mountain Marquis, not a single one escaped, all were slain.
Ye Feng stood in the center of the hall, his figure upright, exuding an air of a king.
Subsequently, one by one the masters returned and knelt on the ground, half-kneeling before Ye Feng: "Reporting to the Northern King, the battle in the east is over, not a single person has escaped, and none of us are injured!"
"Reporting to the Northern King, the battle in the south is concluded, not a single enemy got away, and one of us is injured!"
"Reporting to the Northern King, the west and north battles are all over, we have come back to report!"
Ye Feng looked at the various great commanders below him and nodded slightly, "You have all done well, and worked hard!"
The great commanders immediately responded, "We serve our country and eradicate the tumor that is the Gu&Poison Sect; it’s our duty, we dare not speak of hardship!"
Lan Youzhong, the Great Commander, said, "By the way, Northern King, before we came in, the Gu&Poison Sect seemed to have already dispersed some of the Outer Sect Disciples. These people have now scattered and fled to various places, should we continue to pursue them?"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "No need, those who remain are merely ordinary Outer Sect Disciples. Although they know some poison-using techniques of the Gu&Poison Sect, they do not know the core secrets. Even though they have escaped, they won’t be able to make much of a wave. At least for a few hundred years, they will not become a major threat!"
Lan Youzhong immediately clasped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Ye Feng looked around and then said, "Go, search thoroughly once more to see if there are any suspicious remnants. Destroy them all, and reconvene here in one hour!"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately set into action, while Xiao Chuanqi stayed behind, as he needed to stay by his lord’s side as an internal ally.
Soon, everyone dispersed to search meticulously throughout the large stronghold, while Ye Feng slowly paced in the hall. He came beside Seventeen’s corpse and slowly crouched down.
No matter what, Seventeen had followed him for a while, and looking at the body, Ye Feng felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
But suddenly, Ye Feng had a vague feeling that this affair was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface.
How to put it, the Northern Mountain Marquis had exposed himself too blatantly, or rather too hastily, which simply did not make much sense.
"Or could it be that behind the scenes of this affair, there is an even greater manipulator controlling everything, and the Northern Mountain Marquis was just a scapegoat?"
Ye Feng’s brows suddenly furrowed, and he fell deep into thought.
