Chapter 208

The man in black appeared near the rockery once again.

The footsteps of the patrolling guards in front gradually moved away, and the torches also slowly receded.

The surroundings fell into a pitch-black environment once more.

Even in the pitch-black night, the man in black's eyes still shone with a faint glint.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the surroundings were a hazy scene.

The man in black's gaze searched carefully around the rockery.

Near the rockery, rustling sounds rang out.

Clearly, a moment ago he had seen Wang Ben's figure, and the next instant, Wang Ben's figure had disappeared inside the rockery.

This forced the man in black to suspect that this rockery absolutely had a mechanism.

But where was this mechanism?

The man in black, having found no success after testing for a long time, finally decided to give up.

After glancing at the rockery, his figure flew directly toward the outside of the Wang residence.

He had to tell the Young Master this news in the fastest time possible.

Wang Ben had already disappeared; he must be carrying out some task now.

If he delayed here longer, the Young Master would receive the news later.

This would be unfavorable for the Young Master's decisions regarding subsequent matters.

On the other side.

After entering the rockery, before him was a pitch-black tunnel.

This tunnel was an escape exit specially designed for his Wang residence.

It was to give his family a chance to escape in the face of sudden situations.

The only people in the entire household who knew of this tunnel's existence were him and Wang Jian.

Others, even if they saw it, would never find the mechanism to open the door.

The candlelight in his hand slowly illuminated the pitch-black tunnel.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Wang Ben slowly stopped his footsteps.

At the intersection ahead, two fork roads appeared.

Wang Ben walked toward the left fork without hesitation.

A wily rabbit has three burrows.

Naturally, he would not have only one escape exit.

Otherwise, those well-informed people could easily catch him in a trap.

As for why he chose the left exit, it was naturally because the left exit led directly to Donghuang Taiyi's courtyard.

However, even Donghuang Taiyi himself did not know this.

After a moment, the path ahead seemed to reach a dead end.

Looking at the exit that blended perfectly with the surrounding scenery,

Wang Ben reached out and felt around.

After a moment.

A sound rang out.

The tunnel, which originally had no way out, instantly revealed a small hole.

Wang Ben's figure nimbly passed through this hole (bfbc).

As soon as he went out, he arrived at the back courtyard of Donghuang Taiyi's residence.

Here was a very hidden rockery.

Even the Yin-Yang School hidden in the shadows did not discover Wang Ben's figure immediately.

When Wang Ben's figure appeared outside the rockery, the first to discover him was the secret guard hidden in the shadows.

"Who is it?"

A soft shout, and at the same time, a sword light shot over from afar.

Wang Ben's figure luckily dodged this attack, then pulled down his face mask.

"It is me."

This person from the Yin-Yang School clearly knew Wang Ben's identity.

Upon seeing Wang Ben's face, he stopped the actions in his hands.

"Young General Wang."

"Take me to see your Leader."

Wang Ben did not say much else, merely speaking coldly to this person.

That person's gaze looked toward the rockery behind him.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Young General Wang, please follow me."

This person gestured behind him and then appeared directly in front of Wang Ben.

Wang Ben followed him, slowly walking toward the room where Donghuang Taiyi was located.

Donghuang Taiyi had long been sitting in the room, waiting for everyone's arrival.

Seeing that the first to appear was Wang Ben, there was not a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Wait a moment."

Pointing to the chair beside him, Donghuang Taiyi said.

Wang Ben did not mind Donghuang Taiyi's attitude.

Sitting on the chair, the servant behind him immediately brought him a cup of tea.

Wang Ben did not choose to drink the tea from Donghuang Taiyi's place.

They had united entirely because of interests.

If this person had greater interests with someone else, he would be in danger.

So he would not easily consume anything given by this person.

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes flickered.

Although he knew this was Wang Ben being vigilant,

a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Young General Wang, do you think that if I wanted to kill you, I would need to poison the food?"

After saying this, an extremely powerful aura emanated from Donghuang Taiyi.

Upon feeling this powerful aura, a look of vigilance appeared directly on Wang Ben's face.

"I believe that I came here today to reach a cooperative relationship with you."

"Is this the way your Yin-Yang School treats guests?"

Wang Ben's tone was very impolite.

The reason he was so tough today was because he had the confidence to be so.

Donghuang Taiyi had chosen to come personally to notify him of reaching a cooperation.

That meant Donghuang Taiyi needed the power in his hands.

And what he represented was a powerful military force.

"The way of treating guests?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked back faintly.

Then he gently set down the cup in his hand and waved his hand.

Wang Ben only felt a massive force strike from the front, and his entire body fell backward.

His body rolled on the ground once, and then he stood up from the ground vigilantly.

He did not expect this person to act as soon as he spoke.

It seemed the Yin-Yang School was indeed as the rumors said, their emotions impossible to fathom.

"Do you not want to cooperate with me anymore?"

Wang Ben said.

"Cooperation is cooperation."

"But I must let you know one thing."

"You being able to come here is not because you are indispensable."

"Recognize your own status."

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was cold and carried a trace of indifference.

Those eyes, which exuded a cold light, swept over Wang Ben faintly.

This glance made Wang Ben feel as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cellar.

His entire body was radiating a chill.

Under the power of this one glance, he found it difficult even to dodge.

A powerful sense of oppression enveloped his body.

He immediately realized his previous mistake.

Although this person before him was talking about cooperation with him, he was not on an equal footing with this person.

The inequality of strength had already created the inequality of status.

If he still maintained his previous tone when speaking to this person,

I fear this person would act against him without hesitation.

"Leader, it was my rudeness."

Those who know the times are heroes.

Wang Ben did not want to lose his life here today.

He said decisively to Donghuang Taiyi, his tone no longer as tough as before.

Only then did the coldness on Donghuang Taiyi's body recede somewhat.
