Chapter 210

"The Wang family owns over a dozen properties."

This man in black was specifically responsible for keeping a close watch on the Wang family's movements.

So he was relatively clear about some of the Wang family's properties.

Lu Bing, who had originally wanted to investigate them one by one, dismissed this thought upon hearing there were over a dozen properties.

The houses of these wealthy people were incredibly large; investigating them one by one would likely take a long time.

By the time he finished, he feared Wang Ben would have long since been found.

……

……

……Ding.

In Donghuang Taiyi's courtyard.

Not long after Wang Ben finished his tea, sounds rang out outside again.

A person dressed in a black robe slowly walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Wang Ben's face, that person's figure paused slightly.

Wang Ben's gaze was fixed tightly on this man in black, seemingly judging his identity.

"Since you chose to come and discuss matters, why not be more open and aboveboard?"

Wang Ben said.

Donghuang Taiyi, who was above, did not speak.

Feng Quji hesitated after hearing Wang Ben's words.

He did not know whether he should reveal his identity.

But it was indeed as Wang Ben said; since he had come to discuss, he should be open and aboveboard.

Wang Ben had not concealed himself, so he really shouldn't either.

"It was this old man who was not open and aboveboard."

He chuckled "817" twice, then lifted his black robe.

Upon seeing Feng Quji's face, Wang Ben froze slightly.

"Prime Minister Feng."

Wang Ben said it directly.

"I didn't expect Prime Minister Feng to have participated in the events of five years ago; you truly hid deep."

Wang Ben felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

After all, just a while ago, Feng Quji had been completely detached from the officialdom.

That status was likely not even comparable to some of the servants in the Wang family.

Yet he did not expect that he had also participated in the planning five years ago.

"Prime Minister Feng truly has good means!"

Wang Ben remembered the previous incident where Feng Quji had sent Qi Huaizhi to act.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

"Official matters need not be discussed here."

"Since you and I have both appeared here, we naturally have a common goal."

A faint smile appeared on Feng Quji's face.

Hearing Feng Quji's words, Wang Ben snorted coldly.

But he did not say much else.

He thought the same.

Although they were at odds in the officialdom, they had a common enemy at this moment.

Since they had a common enemy, they could naturally put aside official matters for now.

But this did not mean they had become friends.

At most, they were just allies existing because of interests.

"Since everyone knows each other's identities, sit down."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke.

Once he spoke, neither Feng Quji nor Wang Ben chose to speak further.

"Must we wait any longer?"

After waiting for a moment, Feng Quji could not help but speak.

"I fear it will be soon."

Donghuang Taiyi's gaze swept over him faintly, and he spoke slowly.

At this moment, Xu Qi was bringing Hu Hai and slowly sneaking out of the imperial palace.

The palace guards were stricter than anywhere else.

But yesterday, the Yin-Yang School had already made arrangements.

So although there were some troubles, they still successfully emerged from the palace.

Before entering the courtyard, a look of displeasure was still on Hu Hai's face.

"Why go to such trouble?"

"Young Master, calm your anger; coming here must have the Leader's intentions."

Xu Qi said faintly behind Hu Hai.

Upon hearing the word "Leader," Hu Hai could only suppress his displeasure.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Donghuang Taiyi sitting in the seat of honor.

The moment he met Donghuang Taiyi's gaze, Hu Hai immediately shifted his eyes away.

The shadow Donghuang Taiyi left on Hu Hai was too deep.

Even though they had to cooperate now, Hu Hai still held the highest vigilance toward Donghuang Taiyi.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

Upon seeing Feng Quji and Wang Ben, Hu Hai's gaze paused.

The shock in Feng Quji and Wang Ben's hearts was no less than Hu Hai's.

They did not expect that the last ally they had waited for so long would be Young Master Hu Hai.

"I didn't expect Lord Feng and Lord Wang to be here as well."

A cold smile appeared on Hu Hai's face.

Thinking that these two people had also participated in the events of five years ago,

he suddenly felt as if he had grasped their leverage.

As long as he grasped their leverage, these two could naturally be used by him.

"Young Master Hu Hai, please."

Feng Quji immediately moved aside, yielding the position in front of him.

No expression appeared on his face.

But when his eyes looked at Hu Hai, they seemed to convey a meaning.

Since everyone is gathered here, it means everyone participated in the events of five years ago.

Do you think you can use this matter to threaten us?

Hu Hai naturally understood the meaning conveyed in Feng Quji's eyes.

The smile on his face immediately faded, and he returned to a gloomy expression.

"Since everyone is here, then sit down."

Once Donghuang Taiyi spoke, everyone else stopped talking.

"I think everyone here should know what our purpose is for being here today?"

"The Ghost has already investigated one of the true culprits."

"But whether this true culprit is me, or you, you, or you."

Every time he said "you," Donghuang Taiyi would look at that person.

Whoever met Donghuang Taiyi's gaze would tremble all over.

It was not just the feeling of the powerful aura emanating from Donghuang Taiyi.

At the same time, they thought of the terrifying strength of the Ghost and the fear caused by the deaths of the few people before them.

Every person targeted by the Ghost had died at his hands.

Regardless of how powerful a person's strength was or how high their status.

Before the Ghost, these were like mere phantoms, completely useless.

Seeing the nervous expressions on all their faces, Donghuang Taiyi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

"It is precisely because of the Ghost's terror that we have chosen to unite."

"At this time, do not harbor any selfish motives, otherwise, the result that awaits us will absolutely be death."

Donghuang Taiyi issued a warning.

Each of these people had their own little schemes in the depths of their hearts.

In ordinary times, he would not care about such things.

But now, they were at a critical moment of life and death.

If he did not properly remind them,

and these people caused some trouble at a critical juncture, he would not tolerate them.

Wang Ben and Feng Quji naturally knew that this was no longer the time to hide things.

"If you have a plan, just say it directly."

"After all, we are all aware of the Ghost's terror."

"When we have no idea who the Ghost's next target is, every one of our lives is hanging by a thread."

Feng Quji spoke up.

He knew very well.

Relying on his own strength alone, he was completely unable to contend with the Ghost.

If the Ghost's target was truly him, then what he would face would definitely be death.

Facing the Ghost's slaughter, he feared he would not even have the ability to fight back.

At this juncture, he firmly supported Donghuang Taiyi. **CHAPTER 468**
