Chapter 396, Who Gave You the Courage (Part 4)

Li Mochan glared coldly at him, getting straight to the point with an icy voice, "Hand over the person."

"No need to rush, Li Wuye. It’s not often that we get to see you. Let’s catch up first," Keda said leisurely.

Ye Jiuliang discreetly surveyed her surroundings. A murderous intent surged in the shadows. She spoke without revealing her emotions, "Keda, where are your accomplices?"

"Heh."

Keda scoffed contemptuously, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"They’ve gone to have tea with the King of Hell."

As long as Li Mochan was out of the way, Dark Hall would soon fall into his hands. Those useless idiots couldn’t provide any help. Why should he share this juicy piece of meat that was about to fall into his lap with them?

Instead of fighting with them for it later, he might as well take this opportunity to eliminate them.

Ye Jiuliang continued to bait him, "Keda, I’m actually quite curious. Who gave you the guts to go against Dark Hall? Now that Bei Sen and the others are dead, do you really think you can take on so many of us by yourself?"

Keda stared at her for a few seconds before replying with a cold laugh, "It seems the woman Li Wuye fancies does have some guts. But don’t try to fish for information from me. Who’s backing me isn’t important. What is important is that you all will have to leave your lives here today."

With those words, he clasped his hands together and clapped.

The next moment, a group of men in black emerged from all directions, forming an encirclement around them.

From the looks of it, Keda had the upper hand in terms of numbers.

Wei Dong and Wei Nan’s expressions changed slightly. In unspoken agreement, they took a step forward, positioning themselves protectively on either side of Li Mochan and Ye Jiuliang.

Harsh laughter echoed through the air. Keda commanded, "Bring up the captive."

The sound of messy footsteps grew closer, and the men in black dragged several men dressed in white martial attire through the encirclement.

They were thrown carelessly to the ground, unconscious, with blackened lips—a clear sign they had been poisoned.

Wei Nan’s gaze sharply swept towards Keda as he asked coldly, "What did you do to them?"

Keda crossed his arms and lifted his chin arrogantly. "Dogs that don’t obey need to be taught a lesson."

After speaking, he turned to look at Li Mochan, his demeanor shifting from flattering fear to something far more bold, "Li Mochan, if you surrender without a fight, I can still let you have a whole corpse. Otherwise, blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

"Then you can go ahead and try," Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved in a light smirk as she flicked her wrist, sending several silver needles flying from her hand.

Keda had no time to react, only feeling a numbness in his shoulder that left him unable to move.

"What have you done to me?" Keda gasped, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at Ye Jiuliang.

"You..."

Before he could finish, Wei Dong had already seized his arm, pressing a sharp dagger against his throat.

"Threatening my man right in front of me, who gave you the nerve, hm?" Ye Jiuliang stepped forward, her lips curling into a cold smile.

Keda no longer dared to underestimate this seemingly harmless woman after that display with the silver needles, "Who... who the hell are you?"

"You don’t need to know who I am. Just order your men to disperse right now." Ye Jiuliang’s voice suddenly turned icy, as a commanding aura poured out.

Keda forced himself to calm down, then bluffed with newfound audacity, "I’ll tell you the truth, there are ambushes all around us. If you’re smart, you’ll let me go now. Otherwise, I don’t mind dying together, as having the head of Dark Hall accompany me in death is worth it."

"Is that so?" Ye Jiuliang laughed, deliberately provoking him, "But I feel these men in black couldn’t care less about your life or death."
