A few days later, Li Siyuan personally led a hundred thousand iron cavalry, their banners blocking out the sun, marching grandly towards Qingyang County. This news spread like wildfire to the surrounding counties, drawing the attention of many who speculated on how Ye Family Ancestor would respond to this sudden turn of events.
In the great hall of Ye Family, Ye Hui, the Family Head, sat at the head of the table, his expression resolute and unwavering, as if he had everything under control. Below him, several elders appeared anxious and engaged in heated discussions. One elder stepped forward and cupped his hands in respect, saying, "Family Head, with Li Siyuan leading his army here and every city along the way resisting him, it seems Zhong Tianhao has surrendered to Li Siyuan. We must act swiftly; before Li Siyuan captures Qingyang County, we need to seize the initiative to secure our position."
Upon hearing this, the other elders nodded in agreement, believing his words to be wise. However, Ye Hui remained as steadfast as a rock, calmly stating, "I am aware of this matter; you need not say more. I have dispatched our forces to the border between the two counties. Remember not to act rashly."
The guards at the entrance responded promptly and quickly conveyed the orders. Although the elders felt uncertain, they dared not question further. Just as they were about to speak up, Ye Hui stood and slowly said, "I have my own plans; you all just need to fulfill your duties and manage internal affairs well."
With that, Ye Hui strode out of the hall and into his courtyard. His back appeared exceptionally resolute, as if everything was within his strategic grasp. The elders watched him leave with lingering doubts but suppressed their curiosity and unease as they prepared for the impending storm.
As night fell like ink, Ye Hui's footsteps echoed in the courtyard with an undeniable determination. He quickly issued orders in a voice as cold as the winter wind piercing through the darkness, commanding Ye Gucheng and the elder Dugu Yue to set off immediately for Qingyang Prefecture without delay. "Once Li Siyuan arrives, he must be killed without fail." The guards standing by quickly relayed Ye Hui's instructions to both men.
After giving his orders, Ye Hui flashed towards a hidden chamber. The door of the chamber opened silently as if even the air held its breath. Inside stood a figure clad in black, motionless like a ghost in the night.
Upon seeing Ye Hui arrive, the figure slightly moved and respectfully whispered, "Ye Family Head."
Ye Hui waved his hand dismissively, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "You will inform Zhong Tianhao that I have sent someone to assist him. He must be cautious and not let down his guard for a moment."
Hearing this, the figure felt somewhat relieved, knowing that Ye Family Head's decisions were always beyond question. He responded softly, "Thank you, Ye Family Head." With that, he turned and melted into the night as if he had never been there at all, leaving only a faint shadow that gradually disappeared under the moonlight.
Ye Hui gazed in the direction where the figure had vanished, his eyes deep and cold. It turned out that the black-clad figure had been reporting Zhong Tianhao's plans in detail to Ye Hui. Zhong Tianhao had already devised a strategy aimed at luring Li Siyuan into Qingyang County before attempting to eliminate him. However, his own strength was merely at King level six, and none of his subordinates could match him in power.
In contrast, Li Siyuan not only possessed cultivation above Feng Wang Qi but also stood alongside two equally formidable King-level experts—Zhao De and Zheng Qifeng—commanding several kings under his banner. His vast influence was far beyond what Zhong Tianhao could easily shake.
