Seeing this, the strategist remained expressionless and said, "No wonder you could subdue the Tang Sect. Leader Ye indeed has some tricks up his sleeve."
Ye Tian smiled faintly, "You flatter me. I heard there is also a Divine Camel, I wonder where he is?"
Twelve banners descended from the sky and were planted heavily into the ground. The surroundings immediately darkened, and waves of malevolent energy rose from the ground, chilling to the bone!
"Break!"
Without a word, Ye Tian, holding the Tian Sha Sword, slashed towards the sky. The powerful malevolent energy instantly shattered the array. Half of the banners on the ground exploded, while the rest were left askew. The Tian Sha Sword had the effect of countering malevolent arrays, and coupled with his strength as an Earth Immortal, he broke the formation instantly.
Amidst the crowd, a hunchbacked middle-aged man suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes bleeding, his face pale. He had used his divine sense to control the malevolent array, and now that it was broken, he suffered a backlash.
The strategist's expression turned grim. Ye Tian's strength exceeded his expectations. He sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect you could force me to use this 'Life-Slaying Token.' Leader Ye, you have every reason to be proud!"
As he spoke, he raised a black token above his head and declared loudly, "Today, the young master uses the Heaven-Slaying Token to execute the Heavenly Alliance Leader, Ye Tian!"
As the words fell, a voice like thunder echoed from high above, "Order received!"
Ye Tian frowned slightly, "Heaven-Slaying Token?"
Long Yi's expression changed drastically, and he whispered, "Leader, the Heaven-Slaying Token first appeared three hundred years ago. Anyone holding it can use it to kill someone!"
Ye Tian sneered, "What Heaven-Slaying Token? I'd like to see how it can kill me!"
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and as lightning flashed, a figure faintly appeared in the clouds, holding a long sword.
At this moment, a sword light launched along with the lightning. Before the lightning died out, the sword light had already arrived, targeting Ye Tian's neck!
Ye Tian leaped into the air, his Tian Sha Sword cleaving the sword light. He then shot into the clouds like an arrow.
With flashes of electric light, the onlookers gazed upwards. They saw two figures moving within the clouds for a moment, after which one of the figures split in two, and two corpses fell down. It was a man clad in black armor.
A moment later, the clouds dispersed and the thunder subsided. Ye Tian slowly descended from the sky, the Tian Sha Sword in his hand, his expression stern.
He had flown into the air and used the Tian Sha Sword to break the opponent's soft armor, killing him with two strikes! It was also the Tian Sha Sword's immense destructive power that had caught the opponent off guard. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill him so easily, as the opponent was also a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal!
The onlookers were deeply shocked by this scene. The strategist gritted his teeth and said word by word, "You are an Earth Immortal!"
Ye Tian walked expressionlessly towards the strategist, who kept retreating and said, "Leader Ye, there is no mortal enmity between us. Do you really intend to oppose the Immortal Gathering Pavilion?"
Ye Tian sneered, "The Heavenly Alliance did not offend the Immortal Gathering Pavilion back then, and wasn't the previous leader also killed by you?"
The strategist replied, "That is in the past. Leader Ye, what conditions do you have? Why must we tear each other apart and fight to the death?"
Chi Long said sternly, "Leader Ye, don't listen to him! If we don't kill him today, he will surely kill us in the future!"
Ye Tian shook his long sword and stared at the strategist, asking, "If our positions were reversed, would you let me go?"
The strategist took a deep breath and said, "If you want the Long family, I can cede some of my interests."
Ye Tian said faintly, "Killing you will yield the same result."
Just as he was about to make a move, a familiar voice suddenly echoed from the sky, "Little Ye, give me some face and let him go."
Ye Tian recognized the voice as Sun Huanzhen's. His heart stirred, and he said, "For the sake of an old friend, I can spare your life. However, you must hand over all control of the Long family."
The strategist had no choice now. If he refused, he would be eliminated by those present. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright. I will call the financial manager now."
The Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes were aware of the Long family's financial situation. The handover was completed quickly, and they gained full control of the Long family's finances.
By the time the handover was finished, it was already three hours later. The strategist, with a blank expression, led his subordinates away. He left the capital that day and disappeared without a trace.
