"Ha ha, isn't it ironic to say that? What gives him, Prince Ning, the right to make such promises?" Leiting's tone seemed quite helpless.
Ye Feng thought for a long time and asked, "Why are you telling me all this? Don't you think it's reckless to cooperate with me? Perhaps I will go back and inform the Sect about this news, and then you won't need to do anything. Our Dragon Tiger Sect will handle it internally!"
Leiting looked at Ye Feng with a half-smile: "Do you really think your Dragon Tiger Sect can solve this now? As far as I know, the Hall Masters of White Tiger Hall and Azure Dragon Hall in your Dragon Tiger Sect have been quite restless! And do you think Prince Ning wants to destroy your Dragon Tiger Sect just by collaborating with us from Haotian City?"
"What? Are you saying that Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji, those two old foxes, are involved too?" Ye Feng was taken aback.
If what Leiting said was true, then the Dragon Tiger Sect was indeed facing a crisis.
No, this matter must be reported to the Master and the Sect Leader immediately. If there is no preparation at all, the Dragon Tiger Sect could very well be replaced by Fengyu Holy Institute!
"Don't panic. From my observation, these two are just fence sitters; they are currently watching. Although our Lei Family is not participating in this Nine Sects Trial, we hold a vast amount of information. The content of this trial has changed quite a bit, but ultimately there will be casualties in the secret realm. If nothing unexpected happens, the people from Stormy Rain Academy and Flowing Cloud Villa will definitely take action against most of the disciples in the secret realm. As they say, strike first to gain the upper hand; under such circumstances, many disciples are likely to meet untimely ends!" Leiting speculated.
Ye Feng couldn't help but question: "The disciples from Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa are strong, but they shouldn't be able to contend against so many sects' disciples, right?"
Leiting angrily pointed at her own head: "Come on, think about it! Among the nine sects in Northern Frontier, how many disciples can reach the Ninth Level of Yuanwu Realm? Moreover, will your Dragon Tiger Sect's Hall Masters from White Tiger Hall and Azure Dragon Hall lend their hands? With just the four of you left alongside disciples from other sects in Northern Frontier, how many can you fend off? Even if you can't kill them or Ning Ruoxue, what about those disciples? Can they really escape unscathed?"
It was at that moment that Ye Feng realized he had been neglecting Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji. According to Leiting's words, this situation was indeed tricky!
"How do you plan to cooperate with me?" Ye Feng finally asked helplessly after a long pause.
"It's simple. I will find a way to infiltrate the secret realm. What we need to do is strike first and eliminate the disciples of Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa. This way, we will seize the initiative."
Ye Feng was somewhat confused and asked, "Your Lei Family is clearly helping Prince Ning. What benefits does this bring you or Lei Family? Once we exit the secret realm, do you think Prince Ning will let it go? If you secretly enter the secret realm, Prince Ning will surely blame our Dragon Tiger Sect. At that point, our sect would naturally become a target for everyone. Prince Ning would have more opportunities to act against us. Leiting, do you really think I'm a fool? Isn't this cooperation a bit of a joke?"
Leiting shook her head and said: "It's not as you think. You need to understand that when I say 'strike first,' it means we act while being cautious. Think about it: the disciples from Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa will definitely take action in the secret realm, and their primary targets will be the disciples of Northern Border Sect. At that time, all Northern Border Sect's disciples will see it clearly; we just need to follow behind them and strike before Prince Ning's people do. When I say 'before,' I mean after they reveal their true intentions but before they take action. That way, with Northern Frontier's disciples as witnesses for you, what do you have to worry about?"
"What I'm worried about is whether we alone can handle them. If what you're saying is true, then Prince Ning definitely won't engage in an uncertain battle. Moreover, I haven't heard any news of Prince Ning coming here; for such an important matter, he wouldn't miss it."
Leiting glanced around before stepping forward and whispering: "Prince Ning won't fight without assurance; however, he hasn't come here without reason—he's already arrived ahead of time; it's just that you don't know it yet. Ye Feng, you should know that many things are much more complicated than you imagine. Prince Ning is skilled at winning people's hearts. Our entire Lei Family has been deceived into confusion by him, but I Leiting am not so easily fooled."
Ye Feng remained very cautious. He would never easily trust someone who suggested cooperation upon their first meeting, especially regarding such a significant matter.
"Fine, I agree to cooperate with you. But let me tell you, Leiting, there are some things we don't need to say out loud; as long as we understand each other, that's enough. If you deceive me, you better consider whether you have the capability to handle the consequences!"
Leiting chuckled softly and said, "Look at what you're saying. Since I dare to speak to you like this and propose cooperation, I assure you I'm telling the truth and have absolute confidence in it. Don't worry; go back and report this matter to your master and sect leader. I believe they will be able to weigh the importance of this situation. Also, regarding the incident with the Flowing Cloud Villa disciple, I'll keep it under wraps for now; otherwise, the people from Flowing Cloud Villa won't let you off easily!"
Ye Feng was taken aback again. How much information did this woman have? How did she know about the incident with the Flowing Cloud Villa disciple? Instinctively, Ye Feng marked her as a dangerous person. He resolved not to get too close to her.
After their brief meeting, Ye Feng immediately returned to his courtyard to find Bai Chengfeng.
"What? Ye Feng, are you serious? That woman didn't deceive you?" Upon hearing this, Bai Chengfeng broke into a cold sweat, abandoning his usual serious demeanor. He looked as if something he cherished had been stolen from him.
Ye Feng sat down and leisurely took a sip of water. However, after just one sip, Bai Chengfeng snatched the cup from his hand and exclaimed loudly, "What are you doing sitting here drinking water at a time like this? We must report this matter to the sect leader!"
Ye Feng looked at him helplessly and said softly, "I don't know if it's true or not, but since Leiting sounded so sincere, I'd rather believe it's true. I still can't figure out why she chose me for this cooperation; we only met once during the day. It seems too suspicious for her to approach me about something so significant."
Bai Chengfeng paced back and forth in the room, making Ye Feng dizzy. He quickly said, "I don't think you need to be that anxious; it might be fake! Even if it's true, I've thought about it for a long time. According to Leiting's plan, it’s not unfeasible; it just carries a bit more risk!"
Bai Chengfeng paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "For now, let's proceed as you discussed. If this is true, Dragon Tiger Sect is indeed facing a catastrophe. I wonder how Jiang Shiji and Li Xingqi suddenly got involved with Prince Ning. And then there's the Lei Family from Haotian City; it seems Prince Ning has been planning this for quite some time!"
Ye Feng decided not to linger any longer and turned to leave Bai Chengfeng's room. Before he left, Bai Chengfeng reminded him, "Discuss this matter with Ruo Xue tomorrow. After the Silver Moon Secret Realm opens, we won't be able to enter. Everything inside will require both of you to adapt on your own. You should also meet the two individuals from the sect leader's side tomorrow; however, they can be quite proud, so bear with them."
Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively and quickly left.
Regardless of whether they were proud or not, as long as they didn't provoke him, everything would be fine. If they did provoke him, it wouldn't matter who they were; he would still deal with them.
The night passed without incident.
Of course, not everyone had such a restful night; at least Bai Chengfeng and Bai Qiufeng stayed awake all night.
As for Ye Feng, he slept soundly like a dead pig. If Bai Chengfeng knew how he was sleeping, he would probably chase him down with a knife ready to strike.
The next day, as dawn broke, disciples of the Nine Sects gradually appeared on the streets of Haotian City. It seemed that the citizens of Haotian City had received orders in the past few days not to venture out, so aside from the disciples of the Nine Sects, very few people could be seen on the streets, except for those from the Lei Family.
The opening time of the Silver Moon Secret Realm was unexpectedly set for the afternoon. When Ye Feng learned this news, he appeared indifferent. For him, it didn't matter when the Silver Moon Secret Realm opened, so he discussed specific plans with Ning Ruoxue early in the morning.
Ning Ruoxue was initially surprised, but after a moment of astonishment, she quickly regained her composure.
"Come take a walk with me!" Ning Ruoxue said to Ye Feng after pondering for a while.
Ye Feng originally didn't want to go out, but since a beautiful woman was inviting him, refusing would seem lacking in charm and humanity.
As expected of Ning Ruoxue, once she appeared on the street, she immediately attracted the attention of nearly everyone. Most men's gazes were glued to her figure; they found it hard to look away. Many were captivated by Ning Ruoxue's beauty, but upon seeing such a stunning woman accompanied by a man who looked so unattractive, many couldn't help but sigh!
Ye Feng felt like a storm was raging in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time!
What on earth was he doing? It wasn't like he had disfigured himself too much; why did it bother them? If they wanted to look at Ning Ruoxue, then look! Just don’t stare at him!
Ning Ruoxue couldn't help but find it amusing. She glanced at Ye Feng and quietly said, "Your state of mind is still lacking. This is not beneficial for your breakthrough to the Gangwu Realm. Stay calm and view things with a more neutral perspective; it will greatly enhance your martial arts cultivation!"
