Chapter 1287: Chapter 1267: Willing Striker, Willing Receiver?

"I’m not in the mood to waste words with you. I just want to warn you not to let others take advantage of the situation like a fisherman reaping the rewards. It’s true that there’s significant and deep-seated conflict between us, but when it comes to opposing the Sequence, our interests align."

"Anyone using a bit of brain can figure it out. Having destroyed the Sequence’s Huaxia branch, the Nippon branch, the Sydney 03 outpost, and important Middle East outposts, I am an arch-enemy of the Sequence. Even with the biggest grievance against the Di Family, it’s impossible for me to collaborate with the Sequence and help my enemies suppress you, wouldn’t you agree?"

"There’s an old saying in Huaxia: An enemy’s enemy is a friend. Although I’m not friends with the Di Family, helping the Sequence attack the Di Family wouldn’t that be inviting trouble for myself? The stronger the Di Family is, the bigger trouble the Sequence faces, hence balancing the Sequence. Which ultimately is more beneficial for my personal interests, don’t you think?"

Ye Huan’s voice was indifferent. He had just returned to the Tingxiang Pavilion not long ago when Di Lunhui and his people arrived, stirring trouble.

Di Lunhui questioned him about the death of the three Grand Elders of the Dragon Gate Punishment Hall and accused him of colluding with Xiao Yu to hand the Empress over to the Sequence, making him feel utterly amused.

It’s obvious without a second thought that Di Asura was turning the tables, accusing first despite being wrong.

The key issue was, Di Lunhui actually believed Di Asura’s nonsense!

This couldn’t help but make Ye Huan question Di Lunhui’s intelligence!

"Others with ulterior motives?" Di Lunhui frowned, "Who are you referring to?"

Ye Huan, expressionless, calmly said, "Referring to someone who makes false accusations and stabs others in the back."

Di Lunhui turned his head instinctively, looking towards Di Asura.

Di Asura, with consummate acting skills, didn’t show even a trace of panic, remaining composed and calm: "Dad, don’t fall for Ye Huan’s crafty scheme. You feel his words make sense, but in reality, he’s just obscuring our vision."

"Don’t forget, our Dragon Gate long ago confirmed through various intelligence sources that Athena, someone closely connected to him, betrayed to the Sequence."

"Who knows if Ye Huan was tempted by Athena, betraying to the Sequence as well? Who’s to say Ye Huan and the Sequence aren’t acting as willing conspirators?"

"Moreover, Ye Huan has dallied with top Sequence members, specifically the seventh red-ranked Sequence member, Jiang Shishuang, even impregnated her. Yet the Sequence hasn’t punished Jiang Shishuang, allowing her to stay with Ye Huan. Isn’t this solid evidence of Ye Huan’s betrayal?"

Di Asura was calm across this, his acting skills could easily garner an Oscar; even the seasoned actors of Huaxia would bow in shame before him.

Upon hearing Di Asura’s analysis, Di Lunhui’s countenance turned vicious again, "I almost fell for that slick kid’s deception!"

Di Asura maintained a calm facade, secretly letting out a breath of relief, saying, "Good that you’ve realized in time."

"Ye Huan, I give you three minutes to state the Empress’s whereabouts, or today, regardless of how many strong defenders you have, I will surely kill you right here!"

Turning his head back, Di Lunhui’s eyes fixed on Ye Huan full of murderous intent!

During the Three Kingdoms era, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai half to death on purpose, under false charges, to make Cao Mengde believe Huang Gai’s surrender was genuine!

Consequently, Huang Gai’s surrender appeared motivated, considerably credible!

After careful consideration, Cao Mengde believed it and planned to accept Huang Gai’s surrender, not knowing that it would ultimately lead to the great defeat at Chibi, with a million armored soldiers perishing completely!

Di Lunhui felt, Ye Huan and the Sequence were deploying this very trick!

Ye Huan must be using the destruction of multiple Sequence outposts as a tactic to gain trust from Dragon Gate and the Twelve Divine Halls, while actually, he’s already defected to the Sequence, working for them!

Thinking about this made Di Lunhui’s heart freeze, as Huaxia’s future hope and representative of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, the Huaxia Saint, actually got swayed by someone’s instigation, siding with the organization intent on destroying the world, including Huaxia, before restarting it, an organization with overwhelming evil deeds!

"Ye Huan, hand over the Empress, or face death!" Di Lunhui’s eyes turned scarlet, lifting the Sword That Subdues Worlds which pointed at Ye Huan’s head. The relentless killing intent emitted by his aged body, belonging to an Extreme Divine King, dropped the surrounding temperature to freezing point!

Ye Huan waved his hand, calmly speaking to Liu Tianyun and the others, whose faces were pale: "You all go inside."

"But..."

"Listen!"

Ye Huan’s expression was serious.

Liu Tianyun and the others hesitated for a moment, realizing staying wouldn’t help Ye Huan but instead would become his burden. They gritted their teeth, leaving behind a resolute remark of "If you die, we won’t live alone either" before obediently heading back to the villa!

Ye Huan was touched internally, though he thought they were quite foolish.

Death symbolizes failure.

Throughout his life, he has never tasted defeat.

Even facing the Dragon Gate Di Family, whose power stands equal to the entire Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, he doesn’t believe he’ll lose!

"How about you, why are you still here, quickly get inside." Ye Huan turned around, annoyed, speaking to Jiang Shishuang.

"Their presence might distract you."

"However, my presence will only serve as your right-hand ally."

"Don’t forget my identity."

"Once, I was the seventh red-ranked Sequence, a Divine King."

"Now I am your ultimate battle strength."

Jiang Shishuang’s demeanor was cold, yet her words were heartwarming.

Ye Huan smiled without further comment.

"Ye Huan, from your stance, you intend not to reveal the Empress’s whereabouts?!" Di Lunhui’s voice carried an eternal sovereign’s terrifying gravity. Just hearing it made many present tremble within their spirits!

The silver dragon-etched sword in his hand, under the sunlight, reflected a chilling gleam looking eerie to the extreme, dazzling to the extreme!

Both the sword’s body and blade displayed unrestrained killing intent!

"I can’t bother with a foolish ape like you, being played and not even realizing it while appearing so arrogantly proud, truly laughable."

Ye Huan’s words showed no restraint of mocking Di Lunhui’s intelligence, his face unemotional saying, "If you want to fight, then hurry up, or my breakfast will turn cold."

"Courting death!"

Di Lunhui roared furiously, ready to strike immediately!

At this moment.

"Di Lunhui, you old dog, we advise you not to be arrogant!"

Suddenly, several voices filled with intense killing intent, an endless might resonated over the Tingxiang Pavilion courtyard!

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Eight elderly figures walked in the air, standing by Ye Huan’s side!

Di Lunhui’s eyes narrowed suddenly, his voice sharp, "The Eight Eccentrics of Mount Tai, you all came?"

"Not just them, we’re here too; we’re here to sanction Di Lunhui, you old dog!"

Once again, several mocking voices echoed in the sky!

Following the voices came five more elderly figures!

"The Five Gods of Northern Yue?" Di Lunhui’s expression shifted slightly.

"Ha, besides them, there’s us!"

One after another, top-tier figures continuously emerged, joining Ye Huan’s camp!

All Di Family members on site were visibly shocked!

"Damn, that’s the Three Heroes of Wudang! And over there, the Two Emperors of Emei!"

"The Patriarch of the Ye Family and the Patriarch of the Li Family are here too!"

"And this guy, isn’t he the newly appointed Divine King of the Ancient Martial Realm, Ji Yun?!"

"Wow, beside Ji Yun stands the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, Ouyang Wuji!"

"Next to Ouyang Wuji appears to be the 89th successor of Yong Chun Sect, Yip Man’s grandson, Ye Kaitian!"

"No mistake right? Why have all these big names come?!"

Di Family members stared with wide eyes, collectively dropping their jaws in shock!

Their jaws had yet to drop fully, the stunning came ahead!

More than a thousand figures appeared simultaneously!

This thousand people sealed the surroundings of Tingxiang Pavilion with no way out, forming an encirclement against Di Family members!

Without exception, these people are members or disciples under those giants!

At this point even Di Lunhui and Di Asura’s expressions shifted dramatically!

The last people to arrive made Di Lunhui’s face turn thoroughly sour!

Di Lunhui’s gaze turned darkly cold, his pupils gleaming with murderous intent, his voice was as deep as abyss: "What are you doing here, Qin Jiuyou, you’re supposed to guard Dragon Gate?!"
