Chapter 486: Plotting to Slay

Qi Xiong nodded repeatedly, seeing that, he sighed inwardly, and didn't say anything more.

Everyone agreed with Hong Zun's idea, but they still needed Ye Zhangqing to nod; after all, for this Ghost King Feast, it wouldn't work without him.

Facing everyone's gaze, Ye Zhangqing nodded.

"Alright, let's do that."

Yu Mo finally made the decision; being able to subdue without bloodshed is naturally the best.

The Dao Yi Sect side was plotting the Ghost King Feast; meanwhile, in the Soul King's palace, Yin Chen and the others were invited over, looking at the Soul King full of killing intent, their expressions somewhat strange.

"I've heard that Bai Hua already has a dao partner, someone called Ye Zhangqing, a junior, right?"

The Soul King hearing this wasn't strange, after all it wasn't any secret.

But seeing its hostile look, Yin Chen said with a complex expression.

"I think you and Bai Hua Xianzi really aren't a good match."

"Bullshit about not being a good match; from the first time I saw Bai Hua Xianzi, I've decided she's mine. A mere junior dares to compete with me for Bai Hua—she's practically asking for death."

Huh??

This guy wouldn't be wanting....................

In his heart he guessed, and the next second the Soul King indeed spoke.

"I want to get rid of that brat, Yin Chen, can you help me?"

I.................

Indeed, but regarding this, Yin Chen was full of hesitation about striking Ye Zhangqing; naturally he was utterly unwilling.

Seeing Yin Chen's hesitation, the Soul King's face darkened as he spoke.

"What, you don't want to help me? Don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger—just lure that brat out."

The Soul King thought Yin Chen was worried about Bai Hua Xianzi and Qi Xiong and the others, unwilling to take risks.

So he only needed Yin Chen to lure Ye Zhangqing out; as for the rest, he would handle it.

But he obviously didn't know that what Yin Chen worried about was fundamentally not these.

Looking at the arrogant Soul King, Yin Chen secretly felt displeased; the four Ghost Kings chatted for over an hour, and when Yin Chen and the others finally left the Soul King's palace, their faces were somewhat displeased.

"This Soul King really thinks he's someone important? He thinks he's a Ghost Emperor."

"Exactly, we're all Ghost Kings, yet they talk as if we must obey his orders."

The other two Ghost Kings complained dissatisfiedly, while Yin Chen remained silent, only speaking after leaving the Soul King's palace.

"You say, how many meals could the Soul King's head be exchanged for?"

Huh??

Faced with Yin Chen's sudden question, the other two Ghost Kings were stunned, then instantly understood his meaning.

"You mean.................."

"Get rid of it."

Killing Ye Zhangqing is impossible; not to mention it wouldn't succeed, even if there were a chance, Yin Chen wouldn't do that.

The Soul King doesn't understand Ye Zhangqing's status within the Dao Yi Sect.

He only thought Ye Zhangqing was an ordinary disciple, but Yin Chen, having more contact with the Dao Yi Sect, clearly knows how Qi Xiong and the others protect Ye Zhangqing.

Not to mention Qi Xiong and the others, even Yu Mo and the others hold Ye Zhangqing in high regard.

Trying to strike Ye Zhangqing under the noses of the many strong cultivators of the Dao Yi Sect is obviously impossible.

Moreover, after the Soul King's attitude just now, Yin Chen has already harbored killing intent.

In Ghost Valley, mutual slaughter among evil spirits is commonplace; likewise, in any faction, open and covert strife are inevitable.

After all, factions like the Dao Yi Sect are still the minority.

Often, those who can hurt you the worst are the people closest to you, because only those nearby know your weaknesses and secrets best.

Hearing Yin Chen's words, the other two Ghost Kings hesitated a moment, then nodded, indicating agreement.

"Alright, let's first find Qi Xiong."

Seeing they had no objection, Yin Chen immediately sneered.

The three ghosts quickly found Qi Xiong; upon seeing Yin Chen and the others, Qi Xiong smiled and said.

"We haven't even reached mealtime yet, and you came pretty early."

"Qi Xiong, we have something to tell you."

"Speak."

"The Soul King wants to strike Little Brother Ye."

They didn't hold back, saying it directly in front of everyone present, including Ye Zhangqing.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing froze, "Kill me?" As for Qi Xiong and the others, their eyes narrowed, and killing intent already surfaced.

"You want to mess with our family's cook?"

Without a doubt, the Soul King's idea has narrowed his path, or rather, it's basically a dead end.

But Qi Xiong still asked curiously.

"So you're not helping him, but rather.................."

"Just say it straight—how many meals can the Soul King's head be exchanged for?"

Yin Chen knows you can't play tricks with Qi Xiong and the others; you can't get around them.

And upon hearing this, Qi Xiong and the others laughed.

A group then planned to turn the tables; since the Soul King wanted Yin Chen and the others to act tonight, they designed to lure Ye Zhangqing out.

So they decided to turn the tables on him, luring the Soul King out, then later design an ambush to kill him.

Ye Zhangqing, the party involved standing aside, listened to Qi Xiong and the others' plan, several times wanting to speak but never getting the chance.

He couldn't help but silently mourn for the Soul King.

You said you couldn't find anyone else, but you insisted on seeking out the Yin Chen; now it's fine, you got sold right after.

Even after they had settled on a plan, Yin Chen turned his head and said to Ye Zhangqing.

"Little Brother Ye, rest assured, this king will absolutely not betray you."

Huh???

You damn Ghost King, what loyalty are you showing here? I'm a damn disciple of the Dao Yi Sect!

After finishing talking about the Soul King, Yin Chen and the three were also there, so Qi Xiong took the opportunity to bring up the Ghost King banquet.

His gaze burned as he looked at Yin Chen and them, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

"To be frank, our Dao Yi Sect actually intends to subjugate Ghost Valley."

Huh???

Suddenly bringing this up, Yin Chen and them were startled, then their faces slightly darkened as they spoke.

"What does Sect Master Qi mean?"

They had been courteous to the Dao Yi Sect because of Ye Zhangqing's meals, but this is absolutely not submission.

Facing the change in Yin Chen and the three's expressions, Qi Xiong was not surprised; he had already guessed it, his smile undiminished as he spoke.

"Alas, it's embarrassing to say, but in recent years our Dao Yi Sect has developed too quickly; the situation in Dongzhou should also change, and I've heard that Xizhou seems to be dominated solely by the Fomen."

"In contrast, our Dongzhou has many major immortal sects standing side by side, plus the so-called Four Great Sects; the situation is chaotic, and big and small wars have never ceased."

"If Dongzhou could also be like Xizhou, then it would probably be much more peaceful."

"Xizhou also has the Demon Race and evil spirits, but they all obey the Fomen's commands, living peacefully day to day, which is good for everyone."

Although Qi Xiong didn't say it outright, the meaning was already clear: the Dao Yi Sect wants to unify all of Dongzhou.

The former Qing Yun Sect, Huang Ji Sect, Luo Xia Sect, etc., can no longer compare to the Dao Yi Sect now.

And Ghost Valley, although it is an evil force, will in the future also have to submit to the Dao Yi Sect.

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the three Yin Chen ghosts grew increasingly grim, and they spoke in an extremely cold tone.

"What if we don't agree?"

In their words there seemed to be no room for negotiation at all; facing this kind of outright refusal, Qi Xiong did not get angry, but his smile became even more brilliant.
