Chapter 113 Secret Conversation
"It's still useful for these people to stay, even if the Murong family decides to abandon them and won't make any compromises because of this, I plan to get the information I want from them!"
After Ye Ye stopped He Chen and the others, he immediately asked Xu Shijie and other guardian martial artists to tie up a few prisoners, intending to bring them back to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce directly for interrogation.
"But these people all claim to be dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the Murong family, even if they are tortured, it is difficult to ask anything from their mouths?"
He Chen and the others showed a hint of unwillingness in their eyes, as if they wanted to use these captives to pay tribute to the people in their forces who died due to the attack of the Murong family. Especially when they saw that the faces of several captives were full of expressions of fierce fear, the hatred in their hearts became even stronger.
"Don't worry, even if their will is made of steel, I have a way to make them know everything!"
Ye Ye smiled faintly when he heard this, and then directly took Xu Shijie and the others and those captives back to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Because he had once seen a kind of talisman called the Obedience Talisman in the system, which could be directly pasted on someone's forehead after being exchanged to make the other party completely obey his orders, Ye Ye was full of confidence in interrogating these captives.
Others may not be able to pry open the mouths of these dead men and let him confide in the information of the Murong family, but Ye Ye can not only let them tell everything he knows, but also allow them to return to the Murong family as undercover agents without worrying about being betrayed by them, this is the powerful power of the Obey Talisman to manipulate the enemy's mind.
The only flaw is that the cultivation of the object of the obedience talisman cannot exceed Ye Ye itself. Therefore, when facing the strong enemy of Murong Tufeng, the only thing Ye Ye could rely on was his own strength.
In addition, after Ye Ye experienced this raid, his vigilance against the Murong family had risen to a new level. Because from the time the spies in Jincheng sent back information to the Murong family's surprise attack, there was hardly any transition period. If the spies sent to Jincheng by the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce sent back the information a little later, I am afraid that Ye Ye would only know that the master of the Murong family had entered the city after Chen Yidan and the others arrived.
"Their secrecy work is so good, the ability of the spies will not be much worse! Maybe there are already undercover agents of the Murong family in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, I have to make them vigilant!"
While Ye Ye decided to let Xue Yu and others investigate the undercover agents, he also quietly expanded the scope of the surveillance formation above the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Ye Ye doesn't want to be put on the side again by the Murong family because of his carelessness. Whether it was a battle of wits or a duel of arms, Ye Ye was unwilling to lose half a point to Murong Tufeng.
Just when Ye Ye was actively preparing to deal with the Murong family, Murong Tufeng, who was far away in Jincheng, was also not idle. After sending the dead to attack the major forces in Lingcheng, Murong Tufeng soon received a report on this operation.
"The patriarch is really like a god, and indeed a considerable number of forces are unwilling to ask Ye Ye to help them arrange the formation, so when they are attacked by us, they have no power to resist at all, and even two families were directly disabled by us!"
In front of Murong Tufeng, a middle-aged man said to Murong Tufeng with great reverence after reporting the results of the battle to Murong Tufeng.
He is Murong Jinhua, who is responsible for cultivating dead soldiers in the Murong family, and he is also one of the most trusted people in Murong Tufeng. After Murong Jinhua organized this raid on Lingcheng, he admired Murong Tufeng's foresight so much that he threw himself to the ground.
However, Murong Tufeng did not have any pride on his face, and after calmly listening to Murong Jinhua's report, he sighed instead: "The power of the legendary formation is really not to be underestimated, we barely revealed any news about this raid, but I didn't expect that it was only two families disabled, Ye Ye is not easy to deal with!"
"It's all subordinates who are not doing well, please punish the patriarch!"
Murong Jinhua originally thought that Murong Tufeng would be very satisfied with this operation, but when he heard it at this time, he knew that Murong Tufeng's expectations were far more than that. He knelt down in panic and pleaded guilty to Murong Tufeng, his eyes full of uneasiness.
"Get up, I don't mean to blame you! This raid was originally a tentative attack, and our battle with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce has not yet begun! But I heard that the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce captured a few prisoners while supporting other forces, do you have any impression of those prisoners?"
After Murong Tufeng motioned for Murong Jinhua to get up, he suddenly remembered the dead soldiers of the Murong family who were captured by Ye Ye, so he asked Murong Jinhua lightly.
"Patriarch, rest assured, the dead soldiers of our Murong family are all extremely loyal, even if they are cut by a thousand knives, they will not reveal any secrets of the family!"
Murong Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Murong Tufeng's words, stood up and swore to Murong Tufeng.
Murong Tufeng nodded, and couldn't help but think of Murong Zheng who was sent to Lingcheng before but was directly killed by Ye Ye, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Murong Zheng is his most optimistic back, and he is even cultivated by Murong Tufeng as a successor. He sent Murong Zheng to Lingcheng to recruit surrenders, originally just to exercise his courage, but he didn't expect that Murong Zheng would never be able to return to Jincheng again, and was killed on the spot by Ye Ye, the president of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
After this incident was reported back to Jincheng, it caused a great sensation in the Murong family, and many people in the Murong family clamored to immediately kill Lingcheng and raze the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to the ground. If it weren't for Murong Tufeng still keeping calm and forcibly suppressing the restlessness of the brave and unscrupulous people in the family, I'm afraid that several major wars would have broken out between Jincheng and Lingcheng by now.
As one of the three giants of the southwest, Murong Tufeng knew better than others how to defeat his opponent, so he was also more patient than other people in the Murong family. Sending dead soldiers to test the major forces in Lingcheng is just the beginning, and his plan is to collapse the entire Lingcheng step by step, and make the Murong family the new master of Lingcheng at the lowest price.
"Have the spies we sent to contact that person from the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce made any progress?"
After Murong Tufeng calmed the anger in his heart because of Murong Zheng's death, he turned around and asked Murong Jinhua in a calm voice.
"Patriarch Hui's words, our spies have already negotiated with the person from the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, if there is no accident, he is now our person!"
When Murong Jinhua heard Murong Tufeng ask, he immediately replied excitedly.
As the head of the Murong family in charge of the dead and the spies, every meritorious service of his subordinates is indispensable to the benefits of Murong Jinhua, which is why Murong Jinhua is so excited.
And Murong Tufeng was not stingy, he finally showed a smile of relief after hearing Murong Jinhua's reply: "If the situation is true, the family will definitely be rewarded! But the news should not be leaked now, so you must be cautious and keep it secret!"
"My subordinates understand!"
Murong Jinhua restrained the joy on his face, a solemn look appeared in his eyes, and he replied solemnly at Murong Tufeng with both hands in fists.
They carefully laid out the entire mausoleum in the shortest possible time, and naturally they would not affect the overall situation because of a small matter. Even the conversation between the two is known to few people in the Murong family, and the people who are qualified to participate in the plot are all the real powerful figures in the Murong family.
Just when the Murong family was preparing to invade Lingcheng, the major forces in Lingcheng were also secretly discussing the way out. This raid by the Murong family not only caused heavy losses to the major forces, but also cast a shadow on their hearts.
Even among those forces that were not damaged because of Ye Ye's formation, a panic was gradually spreading. Chen Yidan of Danxiang Pavilion and Zhang Xiaoyu of Tianhuo Gate felt particularly deeply, so they secretly came to the courtyard where He Chen, the head of the Qingxia Sect, lived, intending to gather the strength of the three of them to come up with a foolproof plan.
At this time, because the Qingxia faction was shrouded by the formation arranged by Ye Ye, it was no longer as panicked as it was when it was attacked by the Murong family. It's just that the dead Qingxia Sect disciples are not cold in their bones, and the entire Qingxia Sect is still immersed in sadness.
"Master He, we deeply sympathize with the Qingxia faction's loss this time, and hope that your faction can cheer up as soon as possible!"
After Chen Yidan witnessed the tragic situation of the Qingxia Sect, he was secretly glad that their Danxiang Pavilion had made the right choice earlier, so that they would not fall to the same level as the Qingxia Sect. But when he thought of the true strength of the Murong family, Chen Yidan felt so stressed that he couldn't breathe, as if the Qingxia Sect's today was the Danxiang Pavilion's tomorrow.
"We really underestimated the Murong family! As one of the three giants in the southwest, their power is much stronger than I thought before. Just a tentative attack almost caused Lingcheng to lose a small half of its vital strength, which is really terrifying!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoyu recalled the powerful strength exposed by the Murong family's master when he attacked the Heavenly Fire Gate, he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart. Although they were full of gratitude to Ye Ye, the current situation no longer allowed them to mix any personal feelings, and they had to put the future of the sect first.
"The two of you came this time, it shouldn't be as simple as visiting our Qingxia faction, right?"
He Chen's expression was unexpectedly calm, as if he had figured out a lot of things after experiencing this battle, and his tone was more calm than that of Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu.
"The Qingxia faction of the head of the He family has been the most traumatized, and it should have felt the heritage of the Murong family more clearly. In all fairness, does Master He think that our Lingcheng can really stop the Murong family?"
Zhang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, but still took the initiative to explain their intention to He Chen: "If you are doomed to failure, it is better to surrender to the Murong family as soon as possible." Otherwise, what awaits us is not just as simple as bowing down to others, I am afraid that our three major sects will be completely reduced to ruins!"
