Chapter 1101- Turning Your Own Scheme Against You
âHa ha ha, youâre finally hereâŠ..â
As soon as Ye Zichen spoke, there was a burst of wanton laughter as a few dozen men and women in black robes appeared in the Wu Family estates. Each had an axe emblem emblazoned on their chests.
Their auras were all very powerful. Not even Ye Zichenâs overbearing pressure was enough to shake them. In fact, he vaguely sensed them pressing back against him.
âYour Excellencies.â At that moment, Wu Honghua, who was overcome with fear, shockingly rushed right towards these new arrivals, a subservient smile on his face.
âYour Excellency, is this who you were looking for?â
âThatâs right,â said the middle-aged man standing at their forefront. âThereâs no need for you to stay here. You can leave.â He nodded, and Wu Honghua reacted as if heâd been granted amnesty. Without so much as a secondâs hesitation, he fled.
Once Wu Honghua left, that middle-aged man took a single step forwardâŠ..
Boom!
His mid-stage sky immortal power burst out of his body. His spiritual power was so vast, it even somewhat suppressed Ye Zichenâs.
âWho are you?â Ye Zichen glanced at the middle-aged man and smiled indifferently.
âI am the third elder of the Axe Gangâs punishment division, Luo Gaoyang and youâŠ. Are Ye Zichen, arenât you?â
The way the Axe Gang members saw it, everything was under their control. They have quite a few sky immortal experts, and they were surrounded by countless earth and human immortals as well. Theyâd send over half of the Axe Gangâs elites just to capture Ye Zichen. Even if the aura Ye Zichen released just now was at the sky immortal level, he couldnât possibly escape their combined assault.
âYouâre still not qualified to know who I am,â said Ye Zichen coldly.
âYouâve got quite the temper.â Luo Gaoyong nodded, then tried a different question. âThen Iâll ask you this: were you the one who killed Huang Aogu, who we sent to lead our base here?â
âI am,â said Ye Zichen with a calm nod. âThen Iâll ask you a question in return. My apprenticeâŠ. Did you kidnap him?â
âWe did,â said Luo Gaoyang in the same calm manner.
âThatâs just perfect,â said Ye Zichen.
Luo Gaoyang didnât quite understand what he meant by that, but he could tell that something about his demeanor changed suddenly as he spoke.
âLetâs take this into the air. This is my apprenticeâs family clanâŠ.. Every stalk of grass will one day belong to my apprentice. I donât want him to inherit a ruined family estate.â
âInherit the family? Surely you donât think your apprentice will ever return here?â
âWho knows?â Ye Zichen made no effort to clear things up. He simply pressed off the ground and floated into the air.
The sky immortal experts in the courtyard frowned and followed him into the air. One of them, an early-stage sky immortal, turned to their leader and asked, âElder Luo, do you think that bratâs up to something?â
From the start, Ye Zichen had seemed just a bit too calm, as if he werenât the least bit concerned despite facing so many sky immortals.
This was absolutely no mere act; he truly had that much self confidence.
Luo Gaoyangâs brows were tightly knit as well. Despite his vast breadth of experience, he couldnât see through Ye Zichen. He, too, had considered that Ye Zichen might have some tricks up his sleeveâŠ.
However, everyone here was an elite of the Axe Gang. Even with just their current numbers not even the peak clans of the Profound Great District would dare contend with them. How could Ye Zichen possibly have the confidence to do so?
He figured that Ye ZIchen was probably just bluffing. Itâs just that his bluff was so skillful, they couldnât see through his acting.
âIt doesnât matter what heâs got up his sleeves. A thousand of us arrived here over half a month ago, and weâve been waiting in ambush ever since. If he had allies, wouldnât we know about it? Right now, heâs nothing but a beetle in a glass chair. Remember, when you capture him, you absolutely must take him alive. The boss said it repeatedly: he wants to see him alive.â
âYes, sir.â
On Luo Gaoyangâs orders, all of the sky immortal experts took to the skis. They formed a circle around Ye Zichen. Countless, tightly-packed earth and human immortals lay in wait just behind them.
Their combined aura turned the skies above Raging Flame City a deep, ink-dark black.
âSo, this is a peak faction of the Profound Great District?â
Wang Lei saw that the sky was jam-packed. There were at least a few thousand human immortal experts! When he saw this, he couldnât help but sigh in astonishment.
He was the City Lord of Raging Flame City and a sky immortal expert at that, butâŠ..
He had no way of commanding so many sky, earth, and human immortals! Furthermore, his family clan had no worthy successors; their next strongest expert was a mere peak human immortal. There was absolutely no way he could round up enough experts to contend with the Axe Gang.
âEverything is clear now. Iâm afraid that expert surnamed âYeâ is the one who uprooted the Axe Gangâs local base. I have to say that he was really too impulsive. No matter how all-encompassing his strength, the local Axe Gang base has support from the Profound Great Districtâs main headquarters. Now theyâve come looking for trouble. Iâm afraid that, with so many sky immortal experts, things arenât looking good for him.â
âIâm afraid I have to disagree.â To his surprise, the head of the Liu Family shook his head calmly. âSince he dared provoke the Axe Gang, he naturally possesses sufficient strength to do soâŠ. Perhaps, this expert will bring us a pleasant surprise.â
Wang Lei glanced at the Liu Family head doubtfully. The Liu Family was the most mysterious existence in Raging Flame City. Everyone knew they were strong, but no one knew just how strong they were.
When he heard the Liu Family Headâs words, the City Lord couldnât help but subconsciously glance at the skyâŠ..
Could Ye Zichen really give them a pleasant surprise even in this sort of situation?
After surrounding Ye Zichen, Luo Gaoyang smiled coldly and said, âBrat, youâre surrounded on all sides. Escape is impossible! I strongly encourage you to give in without a fight.â
âThis should be all of you, right?â
To everyoneâs surprise, even now, Ye Zichenâs calm smile had yet to leave his face. He simply coolly looked around at the troops encircling him without even the slightest hint of fear.
âYouâre still bluffing?â sneered Luo Gaoyang. He had to admit: Ye Zichenâs acting was decent. However, bluffing even after all that was a bit over the top.
âTo tell you the truth, you really ought to be honored. In order to lead you into our trap, we waited in Raging Flame City for a full two weeks. Youâve really got guts. How dare you kill Huang Aogu? Didnât you know how lofty his status within the gang was?â
âIs that so? Then I ought to feel deeply honored!â
Ye Zichen paused in mid-air and laughed, but the next moment, his gaze grew frigid as a spiritual fluctuation even more powerful than before exploded out of his body. At the same time, he pressed his lips into a smile and saidâŠ...
âBut havenât you realized that youâve fallen into my trap instead?â
