Chapter 413: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger

That night, when the rest of the people were fruitless in tracking, and the black-clothed leader woke up and refused to take the initiative to confess, Ye Ye immediately exchanged an obedience talisman from the system, and asked the black-clothed leader to honestly tell everything he knew.

Because the black-clothed leader's cultivation was far inferior to Ye Ye's, he had no resistance to the Talisman at all. After being controlled by the Obey Talisman, the black-clothed leader immediately seemed to be a different person, even if Ye Ye immediately let him die, he would not have any hesitation.

Ye Ye learned by asking the black-clothed leader that the black-clothed leader's real name was Zhu Heizi, and he was the only remaining martial king peak powerhouse of the Zhu family in the ancient city of Longjiang except for the head of the family, Zhu Longkong. Because he was not present when Zhu Longkong and others were arrested before, he was lucky to escape.

This time, Zhu Heizi voluntarily appeared in front of Ye Ye as a dead soldier to delay time, in order to rescue Zhu Longkong and others in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion. Now that Zhu Longkong, the head of the Zhu family, Yang Liuzhi and the others of the Chongyun Sect are all out of danger and are quietly hiding in an abandoned basement in the ancient city of Longjiang.

Because the location of this basement is extremely hidden, if it is only relied on by the masters of the Desert Sea Alliance in the ancient city of Longjiang to find them, I am afraid it will be difficult to find them in a month.

However, since Ye Ye had already learned everything from Zhu Heizi's mouth, it was naturally not difficult to find them out and arrest them. However, Ye Ye didn't do that, he pondered for a moment after grasping all the information, and immediately summoned the heads of the four major families in the ancient city of Longjiang the next day, and asked them to come to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting immediately.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, not to mention that Ye Ye is also a genius martial king who is famous in the entire Tiannan Region, so the four major families of King Xiao and Chen Li did not dare to disobey their grandfather's order at all, and immediately came to the front of Ye Ye of the City Lord's Mansion after receiving the notification from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Xiao Ling of the Xiao family, Wang Yun of the Wang family, Chen Liang of the Chen family, Li Sheng of the Li family, meet the city lord of Ye Ye!"

After the heads of the four major families came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, they immediately bowed solemnly to Ye Ye on the main seat.

Although they had already guessed the reason why Ye Ye summoned them, Ye Ye didn't take the initiative to mention it, so the four of them naturally didn't dare to ask more.

Generally speaking, after the new city lord takes office, he will suppress the original wealthy families in the city, so that the ancient city where he is located will completely obey his orders. What's more, the relationship between Longjiang Ancient City and the Mohai Alliance was extremely bad, so Ye Ye summoned them this time, and the heads of the four major families were already mentally prepared for bloody support.

"You all sit down! I have already heard the reputation of your four major families, and the reason why the ancient city of Longjiang has come to this day is because of the contribution of your four major families!"

Ye Ye said a pun to Xiao Ling and the others, and immediately made Xiao Ling and the others who had just sat down stand up instantly, and hurriedly began to defend Ye Ye.

"The city lord has been wronged! Previously, the Zhu family and the Chongyun faction and other forces rebelled, and they were all arrested by the masters of the Mohai Ancient City, and we were completely on the side of the Mohai Ancient City. The reason why the four major families have risen is also because they have stepped on the old forces such as the Zhu family and the Chongyun faction, so we can never be in the same camp with them, and we also invite the city lord to see it!"

Xiao Ling thought that Ye Ye had also counted the attack and robbery of the black-clothed monk yesterday on their heads, and hurriedly expressed his attitude towards Ye Ye aggrievedly, his eyes full of uneasiness and anxiousness.

Although Ye Ye's words just now were not wrong, the reason why the turmoil in the ancient city of Longjiang had repeatedly erupted was inseparable from some of the rebel forces secretly supported by their four major families. But even if they hated the Mohai Alliance, they didn't have the courage to launch an attack on the day Ye Ye entered the city, everything was planned by Zhu Heizi and the others themselves, and it had nothing to do with their four major families.

Looking at Ye Ye's posture now, it seems that the four major families are going to be linked to yesterday's attack, of course Xiao Ling and the others can't sit still, and hurriedly clarify themselves to Ye Ye.

"That's right, City Lord, we're also deeply shocked by what happened yesterday!"

"Fortunately, the city lord Ji Ren Tianxiang, otherwise the loss of our Longjiang Ancient City would be too great!"

"City Lord, we really have nothing to do with this matter, please be aware of it!"

Wang Yun, Li Sheng and the others also didn't dare to deal with it silently, and immediately expressed the same meaning to Ye Ye after Xiao Ling finished speaking.

The anxiety and innocent look on their faces did not seem to be fake, and after Ye Ye learned about Zhu Heizi and the others' plans, he also knew that the four major families had nothing to do with this matter. But Ye Ye just mentioned lightly just now, Xiao Ling and the others actually had such a big reaction, obviously they had done a lot of similar things. Even if yesterday's attack had nothing to do with them, there would be so many resistance forces in the ancient city of Longjiang, and the four major families must be supporting them behind it.

Therefore, Ye Ye's face was not good, and while he secretly hated the four major families in his heart, he strengthened his determination to kill people with a knife.

"You don't have to panic! I asked you to come over today, not to blame you for this matter, if I plan to let your four major families work together to find out Zhu Longkong and the others for me! You should know that there are not many strong people in the Mohai Alliance in the ancient city of Longjiang, so many things have to rely on the strength of your four major families. This matter is a litmus test, if you four major families really surrender, the result will definitely not disappoint me!"

After Ye Ye stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Ling and the others to sit down, he immediately told them his plan.

Although Ye Ye now knew where Zhu Longkong and the others were hiding, he didn't plan to capture them directly and bring them back. On the contrary, Ye Ye also planned to secretly provide support to Zhu Longkong and the others, so that they could compete head-on with the four major families.

As we all know, although the major forces in the ancient city of Longjiang are full of hostility to the Mohai Alliance, this does not mean that they are monolithic inside. Today's four major families are stepping on the corpses of the previous Zhu family and Chongyun faction and other forces, so the two sides can be said to be incompatible.

Because Ye Ye couldn't find any evidence that their four major families supported the resistance now, he couldn't deal with them openly, so he could only use this strategy of killing people with knives to drive away the wolf and tiger to weaken the strength of their four major families.

Moreover, when the internal forces of the ancient city of Longjiang were fighting each other, they would not focus on resisting the rule of the Mohai Alliance for the time being. In the long run, the major forces in the ancient city of Longjiang had serious internal friction, and it was impossible to resist the Mohai Alliance.

When all the monks in the city are tired of the infighting among the major powers, they will pin their hopes on the Desert Sea Alliance, the only one that can calm the situation. At that time, the Desert Sea Alliance will truly win the hearts and minds of the people of the Longjiang Ancient City, thus making the Longjiang Ancient City truly a part of the Desert Sea Alliance.

Therefore, Ye Ye's plan can not be described as ruthless, and Xiao Ling and the others all looked solemn after hearing it, and felt a deep crisis in their hearts.

Although they weren't sure if Ye Ye would secretly support Zhu Longkong and the others, so that the four major families would be deeply involved in the struggle with the Zhu family and other forces, even if Ye Ye didn't do anything, it would take a huge amount of time and energy for the four major families to completely eliminate the Zhu family and the Chongyun faction and other forces.

However, the four great families had no choice at this time! If they refused or disobeyed, Ye Ye could immediately use this as an excuse to openly wipe out their four major families from the ancient city of Longjiang. And the possibility of the four major families and Zhu Longkong and others joining forces to deal with Ye Ye is also extremely small, not to mention that the four major families and Zhu Longkong and others are already incompatible, even if they really form an alliance regardless of their previous suspicions, they also have no ability to defeat Ye Ye and the Mohai Alliance.

Therefore, after struggling for a while, Xiao Ling and the others could only helplessly get up and answer to Ye Ye: "Thank you for the city lord's trust! We will definitely do our best to arrest Zhu Longkong and the others as soon as possible! If anyone dares to resist the city lord's order, we will be merciless and completely wipe them out from the ancient city of Longjiang!"

The voices of the four of them were neat, their attitudes were extremely firm, and they saw Ye Ye nodding again and again.

But in the hearts of Xiao Ling, Wang Yun and others, they were full of resentment towards Ye Ye and at the same time full of jealousy.

Originally, they thought that Ye Ye was just extremely talented and strong, but they didn't expect Ye Ye's methods to be so sharp and sophisticated. Now, their four families can only pin all their hopes on Ma Zhuo of the Liuli Sect. It was hoped that before the decisive battle broke out between the four major families and Zhu Longkong and the others, Ma Zhuo would be able to take action to drive Ye Ye and the Mohai Alliance out of the Longjiang Ancient City, so that the Longjiang Ancient City would be completely out of the control of the Mohai Alliance.

"Okay! Since the four family heads are so knowledgeable, I, Ye Ye, naturally can't help but express it. You can rest assured, as long as the performance of the four major families in this mission can satisfy me, I can not blame the past for the past! But if I know that there are still people secretly making trouble in the future, then no matter who the other party is, I, Ye Ye, will make them pay an extremely heavy price for it!"

Ye Ye saw Xiao Ling and the others respectfully receiving the order, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. However, when he issued a warning to the four major families, his voice became extremely gloomy, as if full of murderous intent, which made Xiao Ling and the others shudder involuntarily.

Just when they thought that Ye Ye's purpose of gathering them had been achieved, and the four of them were about to say goodbye to Ye Ye directly, Ye Ye suddenly said to Xiao Ling and the others: "In addition, another purpose for me to let you come to the City Lord's Mansion today is to hope that the four family masters can make suggestions and suggestions for the development of the ancient city of Longjiang. You should also know the latest policy of the Mohai Alliance, when the Mohai Ancient City and the Liuyue Ancient City are advancing by leaps and bounds, I don't want our Longjiang Ancient City to still stand still!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ye turned his encouraging eyes to Xiao Ling and the others, hoping that they could take the initiative to contribute their wisdom and actively promote the ancient city of Longjiang to glory.
