Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 757 - 766: Ambushed on the Way

When Shenfeng arrived, Ye Ling was still playing with Ye Ping and Ye An. Seeing Shenfeng rush in, he was momentarily startled, knowing something was up.

So he handed the children to the nanny and then went back to his room with Shenfeng.

"Ye Ling, there's been trouble!"

Shenfeng took a deep breath and said. Ye Ling was startled. Trouble? What could have gone wrong?

"Don't panic, take it slow. What happened exactly? Is it another uprising in the Martial World, or have other countries' powers made a move?"

Ye Ling patted Shenfeng's shoulder and said, as Shenfeng quickly shook his head and took another deep breath, "It's not us, it's the Ross Clan that's in trouble!"

The Ross Clan?!

Ye Ling was suddenly taken aback. How could the Ross Clan run into trouble? And if there was trouble, Ai Lu should have called him right away.

"The Clan Leader of the Ross Clan passed away the day before yesterday, and the Bureau of Superpowers has just received this news."

At these words, Ye Ling was stunned. Old Ross died?!

How was that possible? The last time Ye Ling saw him, he was full of vigor. How could he have suddenly passed away? Something wasn't right.

"It seems there's something fishy here. Cao Hong hasn't sent me any information, indicating that Dragon Gate doesn't know about this, so that means this is a conspiracy against the Ross Clan."

Ye Ling murmured, and beside him, Shenfeng nodded, "It's not just the Ross Clan; your Dragon Gate has also run into some trouble!"

Before he could finish, Ye Ling's phone rang. As he answered, his face slowly turned ashen, and then he hung up.

There was trouble at Dragon Gate. A faction led by several Elders now controlled the loyalists to Ye Ling, including Cao Hong. The call had come from a lackey of Cao Hong, who had risked his life to escape and make the call.

"Ye Ling, the Ross Clan's troubles are far more complicated than you think. Ai Lu has been imprisoned since the moment old Ross died."

"Moreover, Ruth's Sterr Family has also faced some internal strife, and now Ruth is also missing!"

"The Sterr Family, the Ross Clan, Dragon Gate—all three families related to you are having problems. I think someone is specifically targeting you!"

Ye Ling took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. If it was not targeting him, he would never believe it.

Without a better plan, Ye Ling had to go in person. Otherwise, he believed that the conspiracy specifically against him would unfold without limit.

"I have to go. You must ensure everything is secure here at home; we can't have any mishaps."

In the country, Ye Ling's power was much greater than abroad, yet he could not afford to be careless.

Although almost all the official and underground forces were under Ye Ling's control, no one could guarantee that everything would go smoothly. Once Ye Ling made up his mind, he immediately called Ye Fei and Ao Hongchen.

He would take these two to the West, leaving Ye Wudao, Mo Xing, Heavenly Emperor, Shenfeng, and others to watch over the home, and of course, Xiao Hei had to be brought along.

Ye Ling's cultivation was now ruined, otherwise, he would have gone alone and broken all the conspiracies.

At night, a plane took off from Donghai Airport. Ye Ling and the others were on their way. Within an afternoon, Ao Hongchen and Ye Fei had rushed over.

Then Ye Ling, along with the two of them and Xiao Hei, rushed to the West. Their first stop was the Dragon Gate headquarters; he needed to find out exactly who was behind this.

Dragon City was the foundation of Dragon Gate for hundreds of years, possessing all of Dragon Gate's wealth and mighty experts. Even terrifying powerhouses at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage might not necessarily be able to breach its defenses.

Ye Ling descended upon this city, but after landing, he didn't head straight for the Dragon Gate headquarters; instead, he chose to wait for someone.

Ouyang Zhennan, the current leader of the Big Circle, had been waiting at the airport with a group of elite members from his organization as if facing a formidable enemy, as soon as Ye Ling emerged from the terminal.

When Ye Ling got off the plane and saw the forces mustered by Ouyang Zhennan, he was a bit baffled. What was going on? Could it be that the Big Circle had also encountered some misfortune?

It turned out that Ouyang Zhennan had been facing assassination attempts every day for the past week, with several incidents having been close calls with death.

The assailant was unknown, not to mention the mastermind behind the scenes. Everything was a mystery, and Ye Ling became even more convinced that this was definitely the work of a force targeting him.

Divines Hall. The first thought in Ye Ling's mind was the Divines Hall that had crippled his cultivation. But that shouldn't be the case. If it were really the Divines Hall, a single powerhouse from them would be enough to root out these opposing forces completely.

Everyone got into the car, and the vehicle slowly left the airport, speeding along a narrow road. Beside him, Ouyang Zhennan's expression was somber, "These past few days, there has been massive upheaval all over the West, especially within organizations associated with the Chinese. They've all suffered significant damage."

"Is there no lead at all? Or is there any information?"

Ye Ling asked softly, his fingers drumming on his knee, his expression icy, and a terrifying gleam of ferocity already flickering in his eyes. Whoever targeted him and his friends had to die!

"Perhaps, Dyer knows."

Ouyang Zhennan said softly, and Ye Ling frowned – Dyer? An unfamiliar name.

"He's a peripheral member of the Ross Clan but has access to powerful intelligence, including all information about the Bureau of Superpowers. He knows it all."

"What's more important, he is currently in Dragon City, and these past few days, has been frequently visiting the Dragon Gate headquarters. If he has nothing to do with this affair, I don't believe it."

Ouyang Zhennan spoke slowly, and Ye Ling nodded his head. Suddenly, the car came to a sudden stop. Ouyang Zhennan frowned, and the driver immediately stepped out.

He ran back shortly after: "Boss, there are several large logs blocking the road ahead. Our brothers are working on clearing them as quickly as they can."

Logs?

How could there be logs on a road that was otherwise clear? Both Ye Ling and Ouyang Zhennan were no fools; they understood what this meant. Ouyang Zhennan immediately pulled a gun from his pocket.

"Ye Fei, go down and slaughter all those scum!"

Ye Ling commanded coldly while Ye Fei beside him nodded his head, stepping out of the car leisurely, with a knife appearing silently in his palm.

Boom!

An explosive aura of slaughter appeared in Ye Fei's eyes, tinged with a bloody redness that filled his pupils.

Suddenly, a group of men in black emerged midway, brandishing firearms and charging. The rattle of gunfire sounded as Huo Long bullets flew, hitting several of Big Circle's brothers who fell to the ground on impact.

The others quickly returned fire. Looking at Ye Fei, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged around his body, indicative of a Golden Core peak-level cultivation.

Yes, upon his return from Shaolin Temple, he had actually made a breakthrough to the peak of the Golden Core stage, which surprised Ye Ling. Such a rate of cultivation was unheard of to him.

With a swish, a flash of blade light streaked by, and Ye Fei plunged into the crowd.
