Ye Changsheng’s heart sank.
Two Saints, one divine son, plus two peak Tongshen bodyguards, as well as a mid-Nascent Soul City Lord and over a thousand guards. It was clear as day, this was a killing trap.
A killing trap set specifically for them!
“Little brat, the situation looks bad.”
The Longbrow True Person now regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He said guiltily, “I am sorry. It is all because this poor Daoist was too greedy for wine and dragged you and Brother Dali into this mess.”
Ye Changsheng replied, “You do not need to blame yourself. I never expected our whereabouts to be exposed so quickly.”
At this point.
There was no longer any need for Ye Changsheng to keep up the disguise. He directly revealed his true appearance.
“It really is you.” Su Wuming shouted, “Ye Changsheng, today you will not escape. Surrender at once!”
“I have one question.” Ye Changsheng said, “How did you discover that I was not Song Que?”
After they left Absolute Fate City, they had passed through six more cities along the way and killed six city lords. Not a single one had realised that Song Que was an impostor.
Ye Changsheng was somewhat curious about how exactly Su Wuming had seen through it.
Su Wuming sneered coldly. “To be honest, your disguise was very convincing. If I had not already known from the very beginning that Song Que was dead, I might not have been able to detect that you were a fake.”
“All of this is thanks to the sect leader’s wisdom.”
“It was the sect leader who discovered your movements and your evil deeds. He then ordered me, together with the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, to arrive at Bright City ahead of time and lay down an inescapable net to wait for you.”
Ye Changsheng suddenly understood.
“Damn it, it is that Infinite Heavenly Venerable again!”
“I wonder what method that old bastard used to find out so quickly that I was impersonating Song Que?”
As this thought crossed his mind, Ye Changsheng’s nerves suddenly tightened.
“Since the Infinite Heavenly Venerable already knows my whereabouts and has sent Su Wuming along with two Saints to set up an ambush here, has he himself come as well?”
“If the Infinite Heavenly Venerable is here, then today there may be a real crisis of life and death.”
Ye Changsheng opened his mouth to probe Su Wuming and asked, “Where is the Infinite Heavenly Venerable?”
“He has always wanted to capture me, has he not?”
“Why is he not here?”
Su Wuming shouted, “What are you, to think you are worthy of the sect leader taking action personally? Having me and the two elders here is more than enough.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Infinite Heavenly Venerable had not come, things were much easier to handle.
Su Wuming glanced at Elder Ox, pointed at Ye Changsheng, and shouted, “As a member of the human race, you actually mingle with the demon race. Such behaviour deserves to be condemned by both heaven and earth.”
“However, this divine son has always been merciful and can spare your life.”
“As long as you come back with me to see the sect leader, this divine son can show leniency and spare you from physical suffering.”
Ye Changsheng found it laughable.
The people of the Yin-Yang Sect actually had the nerve to claim they were merciful. Their shamelessness had truly reached its peak.
He understood that Su Wuming wanted to take him back. It must be at the Infinite Heavenly Venerable’s command.
He also knew that the Infinite Heavenly Venerable wanted the treasures on his body.
Ye Changsheng pretended to think it over for a moment and said, “Su Wuming, I can go back with you…”
“No!” The Longbrow True Person said urgently, “Little brat, if you go with him to the Yin-Yang Sect, you will surely die.”
Elder Ox also said, “Master, what the Daoist said is right. You cannot go to the Yin-Yang Sect.”
“You two do not need to worry about me. I have my own plans.” Ye Changsheng said, “Su Wuming, I can go with you to the Yin-Yang Sect to meet the Infinite Heavenly Venerable, but I have one condition.”
Su Wuming asked, “What condition?”
“Let my two friends leave.” Ye Changsheng said, “As long as you do not make things difficult for my friends, I will go with you.”
Su Wuming glanced at the Longbrow True Person and Elder Ox, then said, “Ye Changsheng, I would also like to agree to your condition, but unfortunately, the sect leader has ordered that apart from you, the other two are to be killed without mercy.”
Ye Changsheng’s expression turned icy cold.
He had originally planned to go with Su Wuming, then strike midway, kill Su Wuming and the two Saints, and escape without a trace.
That way, he could avoid a major battle.
Now it seemed a fight was inevitable.
“In that case, there is nothing more to discuss.” Ye Changsheng said, “If you want to kill my friends, I will never stand by and watch.”
Su Wuming sneered disdainfully. “Ye Changsheng, you are already like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, barely able to save yourself. How do you have the ability to care about your friends?”
“If you are smart, come with me at once and do not worry about whether your friends live or die.”
“Otherwise, not only will your friends die, but you will also suffer torment.”
Ye Changsheng looked up at the two Saints standing in the void and smiled. “Su Wuming, you do not really think that with two Saints you can keep us here, do you?”
Su Wuming said, “Apart from the two Saints, there is also this divine son. The City Lord’s mansion still has two peak Tongshen experts and over a thousand guards. Today you have no wings to escape with.”
After saying this, Su Wuming bowed to the two old men in the sky and said, “Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, we trouble you.”
The two elders waved their hands at the same time. In an instant, two saint-level killing arrays enveloped the entire City Lord’s mansion.
“Ye Changsheng, I refuse to believe you can still run away?” Su Wuming said smugly.
“Why would I run?” Ye Changsheng’s smile turned cold and ruthless. He said, “I should be thanking you.”
What did he mean?
Su Wuming was somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, Ye Changsheng said to Elder Ox, “Dali, the two Saints up there are yours to deal with. No problem, right?”
“No problem.” Elder Ox agreed immediately and was about to throw a punch.
“Wait a moment.” Ye Changsheng instructed, “Do not destroy the saint killing arrays.”
Elder Ox was confused. “Master, what do you mean by this?”
“Do as I say.” Ye Changsheng said.
Elder Ox was not the sharpest. For a moment he did not understand Ye Changsheng’s intention, but he still nodded in agreement.
“Go!” Ye Changsheng patted Elder Ox on the shoulder and said, “Be careful.”
“Mm.” Elder Ox suddenly asked, “Master, if I go to deal with them, who will protect you?”
“The country lord instructed me to stay by your side at all times. I…”
“Do not worry about me. Go quickly.” Ye Changsheng ordered.
The Longbrow True Person had been by Ye Changsheng’s side for so long that he had long figured out what Ye Changsheng intended. He said, “Brother Dali, listen to the little brat. Hurry up and finish off those two Saints. You do not need to worry about our safety.”
Elder Ox said, “Who is worried about your safety? I am worried about Master.”
Damn it, will you die if you do not speak the truth?
The Longbrow True Person was so angry that he glared.
“Go quickly!” Ye Changsheng urged.
“Master, I am going. Be careful.” After saying this, Elder Ox shot up into the sky.
As he was originally a Saint realm expert, ordinary saint killing arrays could not trap him at all.
After Elder Ox broke out of the array, he immediately engaged the two elders of the Yin-Yang Sect in a void battle.
In an instant, murderous aura surged.
The sun and moon lost their light.
Su Wuming laughed. “With just one ox demon, it is impossible to hold back the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder.”
“Ye Changsheng, you really are foolish!”
“If that ox demon were still by your side, with him protecting you, this divine son would have to put in some effort to capture you. But now, this divine son can crush you more easily than crushing an ant.”
Who would have thought that there was not the slightest fear on Ye Changsheng’s face. Instead, he smiled and said, “Su Wuming, do you know how villains usually die?”
“Let me tell you.”
“Villains die from talking too much.”
