"Aunt, you're back. How did it go? What did they say?"
Kong Bailu looked at Song Yuanfeng. As soon as Song Yuanfeng returned, he was full of questions. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
The other party's background was too formidable. Even their own elder would have to invite the old ancestor Murong to weigh the opponent and their own capabilities.
That was the youngest five-star Heavenly King in history, and he was likely to reach an unattainable level.
"Little Song, you..."
Kong Bailu opened her mouth, but remembering Mu Ye's persuasion, she finally sighed and said, "Xiao Qi will go back with us tomorrow."
Song Yuanfeng's face immediately showed a happy expression. He quickly flattered, "Heh heh, I knew it. As long as Aunt Kong makes a move, Ye Longlin is not a problem. He's just a small fry."
Kong Bailu gave Song Yuanfeng a deep look. If he were really just a small fry, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the other party was not a small fry but a true major figure, a leader in the military.
"I'm tired. I'm going to rest."
Partings are always filled with reluctance and sorrow.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. You have to take good care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you to marry me."
Late at night, Mu Hanqi, after exercising, lay on Ye Longlin's chest. Her eyes, like clear autumn water, showed reluctance. If she could, she would rather give up her status as a princess and stay with Ye Longlin.
But the reality was ultimately cruel.
"I will,"
Ye Longlin said indifferently.
The next morning, Mu Hanqi left. Ye Longlin stood on the third-floor balcony and watched Mu Hanqi disappear from his sight before feeling a sense of loss.
When someone who had become accustomed to accompanying you in life suddenly disappears, no matter your temperament, you will feel an emptiness.
After a long while, Yuan Gang approached and gently reminded, "Boss, we should go too."
"Hoo—"
Ye Longlin let out a long sigh, his hands in his pockets.
At this moment, in Qing City, Tian Yi and Qin Zaitian sat opposite each other in the Martial Arts Association office.
"Shi Hao sent word that Ye Longlin and his party have departed. Their men are following Ye Longlin and will provide his location at any time. Our men are also waiting along the route. Once they reach the ambush point, Ye Longlin will surely have no way to survive!"
"Sixty half-step Martial Spirit realm experts, twenty Martial Spirit realm powerhouses, including a powerhouse from the Martial Arts Association and our Tian family who has surpassed the Martial Spirit realm. I don't believe Ye Longlin has the power to reach the heavens to survive this encirclement!"
Tian Yi snorted coldly, looking in the direction of Nan Province, his eyes narrowed, and strong killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"This can be considered the biggest move in recent years. For a young man to elicit such a lineup to kill him, he should be honored even in death."
"Alright, let's go too. We'll wait for them at the highway entrance to celebrate their triumphant return and then offer his head as a sacrifice to our son."
Qin Zaitian's words made Tian Yi nod. The two of them were on the same page regarding this matter, as both their sons had died at Ye Longlin's hands.
One was hailed as the next successor of the Martial Arts Association, and the other was a genius born from the Tian family's twenty years of accumulated fortune!
One was a Martial Spirit realm powerhouse in his twenties, and the other was a half-step Martial Spirit realm powerhouse in his twenties!
No matter which one, they would not give up on avenging their sons.
Moreover, the opponent was a nobody whose name they had never heard before.
Such a powerful lineup was indeed formidable, but for Ye Longlin, it basically made no difference.
"There's a car following us. Ever since we left Cloud Top Celestial Palace, these five cars have been following us."
Yuan Gang had noticed them as soon as they started following, but he didn't say much, thinking it was a coincidence. After all, there were so many cars. However, after they got on the highway, he realized that the other party was indeed following them.
You know, he had given them several opportunities to overtake, but they had kept pace with them, causing the vehicles behind them to overtake.
"It's fine. Let them follow. On the highway, there should be something interesting happening."
Xuan Niao, sitting in the passenger seat, frowned slightly. He took out a tactical tablet and began to search for the terrain ahead on the highway.
"About 120 kilometers away from Qing City, there is a cliff. One side is a mountain peak, and the other is a cliff. This city is also known as a city built on a mountain peak, so there are many dangerous places. If the other party wants to make a move, they will definitely choose this place."
After speaking, he handed the tablet to Ye Longlin for him to view.
Ye Longlin refused, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes to rest.
"You guys handle it."
Yuan Gang and Xuan Niao exchanged glances and shrugged. They didn't say anything more.
In the vehicles behind, the leading vehicle picked up the walkie-talkie: "The opponent's speed has increased. We will also increase our speed. We are expected to reach the planned location around three o'clock."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they indeed arrived at the planned location at the same time. Yuan Gang instinctively slowed down the vehicle, and finally, a hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of his mouth. He forcefully stopped the vehicle on the highway.
Because in front of them, vehicles were lined up across the five-lane highway, completely blocking it!
"Boss."
Xuan Niao called out. Ye Longlin opened his eyes and glanced through the windshield. The car window slowly rolled down, and he lit a cigarette.
Almost simultaneously, the vehicles behind also stopped sideways, blocking Ye Longlin's vehicle in the middle.
"This is finally getting interesting."
The people in the vehicles in front and behind got out one after another. They were all old men, with only a few young people, and they were all drivers.
"Dare I ask if you are the esteemed Ye Longlin ahead?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
No one got out of the car first. In such a situation, getting out first meant a weaker position.
"I am your father!"
Yuan Gang couldn't help but curse directly.
The scene instantly fell silent, with not a sound.
Finally, the other party couldn't help it. The Eighth Elder of the Tian family got out of the car, holding a cigar.
"You killed my Tian family's heir in Nan Province, disgraced my Tian family's reputation, and now you don't even put my Tian family in your eyes by going to Qing City! Do you really think my Tian family is easy to bully?"
Ye Longlin did not get out of the car. Yuan Gang walked out of the driver's seat to get some air and smoke a cigarette.
"What is your Tian family? Besides, your Tian family's Tian Yifei committed outrageous acts disrespecting the martyrs at the monument. It was already merciful that I didn't kill him on the spot. After you rescued him, you showed no restraint, which is asking for death."
"Therefore, I killed him. Do you have any objections?"
"Or is your Tian family not satisfied with this outcome and wants to try again? However, I advise you not to drag the entire Tian family down with you!"
