Chapter 2193
Zhao Guai zi thought he had everything figured out, using the chaos in Wuji Xiancheng, he hoped to save his life by exploiting the turmoil.
But these plans were useless against Ye Zhangqing.
Others might not hand over people to the Ultimate Bliss Palace, but he is different; the Ultimate Bliss Palace will take the person whether they want to or not.
After hearing Zhang Heping's words, Ye Zhangqing smiled and asked.
"What about those tails?"
"Reporting to Elder, they have all been retrieved and are being held in the rear courtyard cellar."
"Hmm, keep watch over them first."
"Yes."
After Zhang Heping withdrew, Huang Lao's figure also appeared timely in the hall.
Ye Zhangqing came to Wuji Xiancheng; Huang Lao naturally followed secretly, not only him, but Zuo Fu also came along.
Seeing Huang Lao appear, Ye Zhangqing rose and clasped his hands.
"This matter still requires you to step forward, Elder."
"Trivial."
Huang Lao did not refuse, smiling and nodding his agreement.
When Huang Lao stepped forward to demand the person, the Ultimate Bliss Palace dared not refuse.
His form dissipated; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing also returned to the rear courtyard to prepare for rest, and no longer needed to worry about the following matters.
At night, in the Ultimate Bliss Palace's territory, Zhao Guai zi and his companions practiced Xiūliàn in the room, waiting only until tomorrow to leave the city.
Then they would wander the world, and the Dao One Immortal Sect could not catch them.
Moreover, the cultivation resources they had gathered during this time were indeed enough for them to squander for a while; at least they no longer needed to rely on hunting demon beasts and live a life of licking blood from the blade.
It is precisely because the profits are great enough that they are willing to take the risk.
But the group did not know that, while they were practicing Xiūliàn, Huang Lao stepped into the Ultimate Bliss Palace's territory.
He also did not conceal his aura, so when Huang Lao just stepped onto the Ultimate Bliss Palace's territory, the Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace responsible for guarding Wuji Xiancheng appeared before him.
He performed a respectful salute.
"Senior, your late-night visit; I, the junior, failed to greet you properly, and hope you will forgive me."
Facing Huang Lao, this Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder also secretly groaned, feeling quite helpless.
Actually, from daytime, upon learning that this time the Dao One Immortal Sect had sent Ye Zhangqing, this Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder became depressed.
Anyone else would be fine to talk about, but it's Ye Zhangqing who cannot be, yet it is precisely Ye Zhangqing who came.
And with Ye Zhangqing appearing, as the Protector of the Way, Huang Lao could not help but follow.
Therefore, Huang Lao's appearance here is no surprise to this Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder; he had already guessed it.
As for this, Huang Lao merely said lightly.
"I have come to take the person."
"Senior this............"
Naturally knowing who Huang Lao came to take, Zhao Guai zi and his companions entering the Ultimate Bliss Palace's territory, this Elder naturally understood clearly.
Not driving them away immediately was just to test luck, but now it seems they didn't get lucky.
But simply handing over the person like this left him unwilling, after all this is the Ultimate Bliss Palace's territory, and Huang Lao's single sentence demanding the person really makes the Ultimate Bliss Palace lose face.
But Huang Lao did not let him finish speaking, directly interrupting.
"Don't tell me any reasons, hand over the person."
He didn't even give a chance to explain, which is also why Ye Zhangqing was certain that Zhao Guai zi's plans were overthought.
After a moment of silence, this Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder finally nodded silently, then gestured to those behind him.
Not long after, Zhao Guai zi and his companions, who had been practicing Xiūliàn in the inn room, were all brought over.
Obviously preparations had been made in advance; otherwise it would not have been possible to bring the people to Huang Lao so quickly.
At this moment, Zhao Guai zi and his companions were completely bewildered; they were fine, not knowing why the Ultimate Bliss Palace's people suddenly burst in and seized them.
Even after seeing Huang Lao, Zhao Guai zi and his companions still did not react, not knowing who Huang Lao was.
After confirming their identities were correct, Huang Lao waved his hand, directly taking Zhao Guai zi and his companions and vanishing into the night.
Only after being taken back to his former residence by Huang Lao did Zhao Guai zi exclaim in surprise.
"You are from the Dao One Immortal Sect, why............"
But before he could finish, Huang Lao waved his hand, immediately sealing Zhao Guai zi and his companions' cultivation, then directly handing them over to a squad of disciples already waiting there.
His mission was completed; as for what comes after, he has no interest.
Like the others, Zhao Guai zi and his companions were also locked up in the cellar, awaiting Ye Zhangqing's arrangements.
The night passed in silence; the next day Ye Zhangqing woke up, learned that the people had been brought back, smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.
At the same time, the Dao One Immortal Sect's people officially stationed themselves in Wuji Xiancheng, naturally also drawing the attention of other factions in the territory.
Moreover, there was news that Zhao Guai zi and his companions, who had originally escaped, were captured back last night, and were even handed over voluntarily by the Ultimate Bliss Palace.
This caused the other factions within the Dao One Immortal Sect's territory to feel apprehensive.
After all, Zhao Guai zi and his companions' recent deeds were also done by the other factions, some even more excessively.
After all, the opportunity to make a fortune is right before them; who would willingly let it slip away.
As for the result, it's the same as what Zhao Guai zi thought: at worst, after the incident occurs, they can just flee far away.
But the outcome for Zhao Guai zi and his companions undoubtedly sounded an alarm for these factions.
Zhao Guai zi and his companions couldn't escape; in other words, if the Dao One Immortal Sect pursued the matter, they would likely also be unable to flee.
Therefore, for a time, several factions within the Dao One Immortal Sect's base felt a chill, gathering together early in the morning to discuss countermeasures.
After all, they are all grasshoppers on the same rope; facing the Dao One Immortal Sect, their situations are the same, so they naturally huddled together for warmth.
Everyone sat around in a secret room, with a fat-headed, big-eared middle-aged man taking the lead.
The man was called He Fu, the shopkeeper of Emerald Cloud Tavern.
This Emerald Cloud Tavern could be counted among the top three taverns in Wuji Xiancheng.
It is huge in size, offering not only all kinds of delicious food and dishes but also plenty of beauties; in short, anything you can think of can be found inside Emerald Cloud Tavern.
This time, Wuji Xiancheng fell into great chaos, and He Fu also took the opportunity to profit handsomely.
But right now, his complexion is not good; his eyes are full of solemnity, and besides that, there is a chill.
As the person with the strongest strength and the strongest influence present, He Fu naturally became the mainstay of everyone.
His gaze swept over the people present, and He Fu slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Everyone, the Dao One Immortal Sect has already stationed itself in Wuji Xiancheng; I believe you have all heard about what happened last night with Zhao Guai zi and his gang."
"I won't waste words here; today we have gathered mainly to discuss countermeasures."
"I hope you all understand one principle: we are all in the same boat now; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact, so I hope you can truly be of one mind and work together to face this crisis."
