Chapter 2337: A Rare Opportunity

During this period, Ye Liuyun and his group not only investigated the strength of the City Lord's mansion and the garrison, but also gathered information on many major forces within the city, and they are already familiar with several well‑known figures.

The City Lord of Haoyue City, Liu Meng, is a native official, and his son Liu Tianhe is naturally indulged and quite arrogant locally.

The garrison's Leader Wen Xing Tang was transferred from elsewhere, and his son Wen Zihao is no pushover; relying on his father's command of the troops, he also does not take Liu Tianhe seriously.

Thus Liu Tianhe and Wen Zihao often clash, and even the relations between the City Lord's mansion and the garrison have become strained.

But at least previously both sides could still check each other to some extent.

Now, perhaps because of talent selection matters, the two younger generation have become increasingly at odds.

And the two elders are certainly scheming behind the scenes to let their own sons seize the crown.

After Ye Liuyun gathered this information, he immediately devised a plan: to sow discord between the two families and find a pretext to act.

"This is the rare opportunity for us to act."

Ye Liuyun felt pleased and promptly ordered Liu Tianfeng to go to the Juba Treasure Association to purchase some military uniforms.

Holy Land Dynasty's military uniforms can all be bought at the association.

The purpose is that if soldiers damage their uniforms through their own fault, they can purchase replacements at the association themselves.

But armor can only be issued by the army.

Thus Liu Tianfeng smoothly bought a set of uniforms and brought them back.

Then Ye Liuyun had Lin Wu, Yu Yao, Zhao Hu and others take turns going to the association, gathering more than twenty sets of uniforms.

As for armor, Ye Liuyun will have to find another way.

Fortunately, the quantity they need is not large, so it should be easier to resolve.

These gear can be used when provoking a dispute between the two sides.

Next, he sent people to keep watch on the City Lord's mansion and the garrison, monitoring Liu Tianhe and Wen Zihao's movements.

He also had them surveil the city's patrol squads, watching their movements and patrol schedules.

After a few days of observation, they found the two youths' activity spots were close, and they almost always appeared together at various taverns and brothels, often running into each other.

Since the last big argument, both have restrained themselves considerably; occasional verbal spats occur, but they no longer resort to physical fights.

Based on the information, Ye Liuyun decided to wait until they meet again at a brothel, stir up their dispute, and seize the chance to act against them.

A few days later, Ye Liuyun's opportunity arrived: Liu Tianhe and Wen Zihao teamed up and rushed to the city's largest brothel.

"We'll act tonight."

Ye Liuyun had everyone ready, and he himself, accompanied by his duplicate, Mo Shaowen and Liu Yang, went to track the patrol squad.

The city's patrol squads are divided into different sectors, with varying numbers of members.

But generally they consist of ten or twenty people per team.

The unit Ye Liuyun targeted was a ten‑person squad stationed in a relatively remote location.

These patrol squads rotate their shifts periodically.

When a squad is rotated out, it basically disbands immediately, goes to eat and relax, then returns to the garrison separately.

Ye Liuyun's group took advantage of the shift change, using Red Eye and Blue Eye to create illusion, subjugating the people, pulling them into the Space World, and stripping their armor.

Then Ye Liuyun and Mo Shaowen rushed to the brothel together to provoke the two.

When they arrived at the brothel, they found Liu Tianhe and Wen Zihao already in a verbal clash.

Liu Tianhe was mocking Wen Zihao: "If you can't afford the fee, don't come here to embarrass yourself!"

"Hmph, some people think having a couple of filthy coins makes them great, but in reality they're nothing but worthless trash."

Wen Zihao retorted sarcastically.

"I'll show you who the real loser is when the competition comes!"

Liu Tianhe replied disdainfully.

Compared to each other, Liu Tianhe is wealthier, while Wen Zihao is stronger in combat.

Nevertheless, both are relatively restrained and don't insult each other harshly.

Their retainers are also fairly subdued.

But after Ye Liuyun's group arrived, the situation changed; both sides' men cursed each other more viciously, increasingly finding the other offensive and feeling insulted.

In the end the two sides almost came to blows, but the brothel's Steward separated them.

Both lost interest and, with their companions, left one after another.

Ye Liuyun and Mo Shaowen also followed out, releasing the duplicate and others, and acted separately.

The duplicate, leading ten Death Legion soldiers, attacked Liu Tianhe.

Ye Liuyun, with several Martial Cultivator strongmen, assaulted Wen Zihao.

They had already chosen the ambush sites, all in sparsely populated areas.

And each strike was a full‑force kill; after one round of attack they retreated immediately to avoid detection by patrol squads.

After retreating, they promptly gathered their people and fled using the Invisibility Cloak.

The plan proceeded smoothly; Ye Liuyun even disguised himself as a guard of the City Lord's mansion, while the duplicate masqueraded as a local patrol captain.

The first to leave the brothel were Liu Tianhe's group.

When they reached the predetermined spot, the duplicate, with ten disguised soldiers, pretended to patrol and approached them.

"Stop!"

The duplicate called out to them.

"Who do you think you are, daring to block this young master?"

Liu Tianhe, still angry, saw a few patrolling soldiers daring to block him and couldn't help shouting.

"How dare you offend our young master, you must be bored to death!"

The duplicate, in the tone of a patrol captain, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to discipline Liu Tianhe.

"You dare!"

Liu Tianhe hadn't expected that these soldiers would actually dare to lay a hand on them.

But a few subordinate soldiers ignored that pretense, acted immediately, and even a young Martial Cultivator who tried to resist was killed by a soldier pretending to miss!

"Ah!"

"Help!"

Liu Tianhe and several youths immediately shouted.

"Go!"

The clone called out, then immediately fled with the soldiers.

The nearby patrol unit also rushed toward them at once.

They also spotted the trail of the clone and others, but realizing they were their own people, they didn't pursue.

When they saw Liu Tianhe and the others being beaten again, they took even more delight in the misfortune.

Thus Liu Tianhe grew angrier, and Ma Shan produced a Transmission Talisman to accuse Liu Meng.

Liu Meng immediately led men here.

At this moment, Wen Zihao emerged from the brothel, unaware of what had happened outside.

Before he could go far, a Chengzhu Fu guard disguised as Ye Liuyun suddenly rushed out.

His squad had only three members, yet two were Super God Realm strongmen, whose attacks were killing moves.

Wen Zihao hadn't even reacted when a guard disguised as Yu Yao split him in two with a Yi Dao.

Then Ye Liuyun and Lin Wu each killed a henchman before withdrawing immediately.

The few henchmen beside Wen Zihao were stunned in terror at that moment.

After a while, they finally recovered.

"Murder!"

Someone shouted loudly.
