At the same time.
In the hotel where the Ye family was staying, a group of people sat around a round table, their faces solemn.
They had just learned that the family head was injured and in seclusion, and someone in the capital had obstructed his southward journey.
"The family head left separately from us, originally intending to use us to attract attention. We didn't expect to be discovered in the end, and the other party even ambushed the family head. What should we do now?"
The original plan was for them to leave separately from Ye Nantian, but they never imagined that there would be someone blocking them in the capital, and it wasn't them, but the Ye family head who was blocked!
After Ye Nantian's southward journey, once news of it spread in the capital, the Ye family did not intervene. In fact, for the Ye family, this was good news, because no one would have expected him to actually go south!
For Ye Nantian, no one believed he would go south just to deal with a junior, and his own nephew. Going south to eliminate him was clearly fake news. But for the Ye family, this was a perfect opportunity to hide the news of his true southward journey.
The people in the capital were all old foxes, none of them simple. So after this news broke, most people did not believe it. They were all old foxes, naturally not believing things that came out of nowhere. But in reality, he did intend to leave the capital and go south, yet no one expected someone to be waiting for him all along!
"The family head contacted me before going into seclusion and told us to wait. He has already sent someone to help us, but it will take some time. During this period, you two should pretend to investigate the death of Ye Xingchen. After all, he was the young master on the surface, so an investigation is still necessary."
"Furthermore, this Yan Wuji is the main culprit in Ye Xingchen's death. If you have the opportunity, get rid of this Yan Wuji. Even if he is from the Yan royal family, so what? I don't believe a mere royal family dares to attack us!"
Ye Hu snorted coldly, his eyes radiating a chilling light.
Ye Hu, the captain of the Ye family's guard.
Although he was only the captain of the Ye family guards, his strength was considered top-tier within the Ye family, a High-grade All-Dragon Elephant!
He was also a powerhouse from the previous era.
Within the Ye family, he was also considered a very powerful existence. At least on the surface, his combat strength was known as a strong contender in the entire capital.
"Uh, perhaps what you said is true. I really dare to attack myself!"
As Ye Hu's words fell, a very awkward voice sounded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
All the people seated around the round table stood up, shock appearing in their eyes. No one had expected someone to appear beside them so silently!
This itself was incredible!
After all, Ye Hu was a High-grade All-Dragon Elephant!
"Who! It's not honorable to eavesdrop on us from the shadows. Please come out and speak!"
A cold light appeared in Ye Hu's eyes, but beneath it was deep apprehension.
Being able to appear beside them so silently meant that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Uh, weren't you looking for me? I'm here. My name is Yan Wuji."
Ye Hu: "......"
Everyone: "......"
So, Yan Wuji had heard everything they just said?
Ye Hu took a deep breath and stared fixedly at the door. Yan Wuji slowly opened the door and walked in, carrying a stool in his hand. It seemed he was very familiar with the room, even knowing how many stools there were. This...
"Yan Wuji, you really know how to find us. Since you've come looking for death yourself, don't blame us for taking action against you!"
Yan Wuji sat on the stool, shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter. Do as you please. If you want to fight, just fight. I guarantee, I'll sit on this stool, and if I leave it, I lose."
Hearing his words, everyone present frowned. They looked at each other, completely unaware of Yan Wuji's intentions, but their vigilance was certainly high.
Moreover, with the way he had walked in so boldly, no one knew what confidence Yan Wuji had.
"A Low-grade All-Dragon Elephant. I'm very curious about what makes you dare to say that. Aren't you afraid of being trapped here forever?"
Ye Hu sneered. Regardless of anything else, Ye Xingchen was a member of the Ye family, and the Ye family would not let go of someone who so recklessly killed their people.
"What I'm curious about is, how did you know we were here?"
Another Ye family member asked doubtfully.
However, Yan Wuji looked at him as if he were an idiot, and rubbed his forehead, "Brother, didn't you investigate me before you wanted to kill me? This hotel is our family's property! I've already issued an order: all people from the capital or martial artists staying in our hotel are to be registered.
Besides, the Murong family said a couple of days ago that all expenses would be paid by them, and our hotel is naturally included. Most of the people staying here during this time are martial artists, alright? Can you use your brains? As soon as you booked this room, someone informed me immediately.
So I already had your information. I was waiting for you to come find me. Honestly, by then I would have already gone home."
This was clearly looking down on them. While they were still discussing countermeasures, this person had already found out everything and was even staying in an enemy's hotel!
Ye Hu glanced at him and sneered, "So what if it's your family's hotel? Perfect, today I'll let you die in your own hotel."
With that, he signaled the person next to him to make a move. The Low-grade All-Dragon Elephant beside him immediately charged towards Yan Wuji.
However, Yan Wuji simply tilted his head, and a slap landed!
The man was instantly stunned.
Since he made his debut, no one had ever slapped him, let alone a slap across the face!
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you today!"
Yan Wuji immediately panicked and quickly shouted, "Wait! Wait! You can't touch me, I came on orders!"
He couldn't possibly defeat so many people alone.
Ye Hu quickly stopped him, his brow furrowed tightly.
"Came on orders" meant that someone was directing him to come. He was now curious about who could be commanding a royal prince to come here.
Yan Wuji quickly rummaged through his pockets and finally found a piece of paper, which he handed to Ye Hu.
When Ye Hu opened it, a bead of sweat dripped from his forehead, forming layers.
"He told you to come?"
To be honest, he found it hard to believe. Didn't this person usually reside in the capital? How could he possibly appear here?
Yan Wuji said triumphantly, "How about it? With him backing me up, try and touch me if you can?"
Ye Hu: "......"
