Chapter 3732: Infiltrating the Jiang Family

~7 min read 1,326 words

Jiang Lan followed the voice and his brows immediately knit.

"Why did he come in person? With my status he shouldn't do anything to me, but don't let those gorgeous women get away."

Ye Liuyun, seeing Wang Wenli arrive, instantly sent a Transmission Voice: "No need to greet me; pretend you don't know me. Take everyone back to the Royal Mansion and use Jiang Lan as bait! I'm here to help you clear out those disobedient forces."

Wang Wenli felt pleased inside, but kept a solemn face.

When they arrived, Jiang Lan immediately put on a different expression: "Jiang Lan has seen the Heavenly King!"

"So it's the Jiang family's Third Young Master!" Wang Wenli nodded at him.

Then he asked, "What happened? How could you fight in broad daylight inside the Royal City? Fighting is prohibited inside the Royal City, aren't you aware, Third Young Master?"

"We of course obey the Prince's rules; it's just that this kid dared to insult me, so I wanted to take him back to the family for handling, not to fight on the street!" Jiang Lan hurriedly explained.

"They were the ones who innocently blocked the road and unleashed pressure to intimidate us!" Ye Liuyun immediately argued.

The several women knew he was about to start acting, so they silently watched the spectacle from behind him.

"I'm talking to the Prince, and now a lowly ant like you wants to interject?" Jiang Lan tried to stop Ye Liuyun from continuing.

Wang Wenli, however, asked seriously, "Is what he said the truth?"

"Prince, how can we take the words of such a lowborn seriously!" Jiang Lan forced a smile.

"Since both sides stick to their own words, let's return to the Royal Mansion first and sort it out!" Wang Wenli didn't want to waste time, intending to fulfill Ye Liuyun's request quickly; with a wave of his hand, he ordered the guards behind him to escort everyone back to the Royal Mansion.

Jiang Lan still didn't know his situation. He thought that even if he returned to the Royal Mansion, Wang Wenli wouldn't do anything to him. Moreover, such a minor issue shouldn't require a return to the Royal Mansion.

Wang Wenli's arrangement likely meant he didn't want to show favoritism in front of so many onlookers. There were quite a few spectators, and Wang Wenli, being a God King, had to mind his image.

So he paid no mind, smiling as he followed away.

As soon as they entered the Royal Mansion, Ye Liuyun had Wang Wenli imprison these people separately. Then he had someone knock Jiang Lan unconscious and used the Soul Searching Technique to probe Jiang family information from his mind.

Afterwards he sent all the women into the Space World, used the Thousand Illusion Technique to assume Jiang Lan's appearance, stripped Jiang Lan of his Storage Ring, and put it on his own hand.

He planned to have the Jiang family come to retrieve him, then impersonate Jiang Lan to return to the Jiang family. This way he could eliminate the Jiang family's strong members without shedding blood. The rest, Night Shadow could handle himself.

But after the Soul Search, he made an unexpected discovery: within Jiang Lan's memories he uncovered a major secret of the Jiang family—that the family's founding ancestor still possessed a Dragon Clan treasure, the Ancient Dragon Pearl, said to seal a Dragon Soul that can become a god.

Moreover, the Jiang family's founding ancestor was in poor condition, near death, preparing to pass the Ancient Dragon Pearl to the next keeper.

Currently the Jiang family Clan Chief, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder are fighting over the right to guard the Dragon Pearl, causing chaos. Jiang Lan, bored of staying at home, went out for fresh air and unexpectedly ran into Ye Liuyun.

Whether his luck was bad or Ye Liuyun's luck was too strong, as Ye Liuyun was about to deal with the Jiang family, he walked straight into the line of fire.

Ye Liuyun used a Sealing Formation to pull the unconscious Jiang Lan directly into the Space World, preventing him from waking up midway and causing trouble. Then he took Jiang Lan's place in the Royal Mansion, waiting for the Jiang family to come fetch him.

He also discussed many matters about the North with Wang Wenli, roughly setting up elimination plans for several targets.

Not long after, the Jiang family's Chief Steward received a Transmission Voice from Jiang Lan's guard and rushed over to take Jiang Lan away.

Wang Wenli neither obstructed nor explained the specifics, simply ordered him to bring the people back.

"Third Young Master, the Northern Heavenly King is a Divine Son, and in his hand

also has Night Shadow, whose relationship with our Jiang family has always been strained. Now that the clan has important matters, please don't get into any conflict with him."

On the way back, Chief Steward Jiang Cheng kept reminding Jiang Lan.

"Hmm. Even if he's a Divine Son, he can't do anything to me. Chief Steward, rest assured, I won't let him find any leverage over me!" Ye Liuyun replied, mimicking Jiang Lan's tone.

Jiang Cheng could only shake his head helplessly, thinking their Third Young Master was too ungrateful, often causing trouble and needing him to clean up.

Ye Liuyun was thus taken back to the Jiang family and slipped in easily.

"The Jiang family is truly vast, occupying an entire mountain," Ye Liuyun mused after entering, feeling he would get rich again this time.

Given the Jiang family's scale, their resource reserves can't be small.

"You rebellious son, running out now to cause trouble for me!"

As soon as Ye Liuyun entered his own courtyard, a roar rang out. A hulking man with a tiger's back and bear's waist leapt out of the Grand Hall, blocking the way.

The man was Jiang Lan's father Jiang Yuanhang, hot‑tempered and quick to beat him up. In the past, Jiang Lan would flee like a mouse from a cat.

But now with Ye Liuyun, he certainly wouldn't cower like Jiang Lan did.

He retorted confidently: "I didn't cause any trouble; it's not a big deal at all, it's just Wang Wenli having a fit…"

"You worthless scoundrel, still won't admit it—if I didn't cause trouble, would Wang Wenli catch you?" Jiang Yuanhang, of course, didn't believe him, thinking he was being evasive, and raised his hand to slap him.

The Chief Steward hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, calm down; this truly isn't a big matter, the Heavenly King is making a mountain out of a molehill!"

"Oh?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng say that, Jiang Yuanhang was a bit stunned; he had intended to seize the chance to vent his anger and beat this unfilial son, but didn't get the opportunity.

Finally, to save face, he said, "Fine, you lucky brat, go back and cultivate, and if you dare cause trouble again, I'll break both your legs!"

"Yes!"

Ye Liuyun replied with a nod, lifted his foot and ran. That matched his usual style. Jiang Yuanhang and the household servants didn't notice anything amiss.

After returning, Ye Liuyun immediately released Little Witch, intending to use it against the Jiang family's strong members.

"Third Young Master, are you about to go out? The old master just lost his temper!"

"Where did that black cat come from?"

Two close guards: one thought he was about to leave again, the other was curious about the black cat.

"I'm going to the training ground for a walk, not going out; you two don't need to follow me. I have no idea where this black cat came from; when I returned, I found it in my room!"

Ye Liuyun casually waved his hand, didn't let the two follow, and left holding the black cat.
