As Ye Huan had previously worried, with his current strength, it was simply impossible to deal with Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong all at once. Instead of meticulously planning how to confront those individuals from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, it would be better to think about how to take them down one by one.
"Take them down one by one?"
Suddenly, images of Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong flashed through Ye Huan's mind, excluding Jin Ling. He couldn't help but feel that with his strength, facing each Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector individually didn't seem too difficult. The only troublesome part was figuring out how to arrange a one-on-one duel with Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong.
He shifted his gaze back to the two women in front of him, and his eyes briefly flickered over Zhao Ziyu before settling intently on Jin Ling.
"Hey, Ye Huan, what are you staring at so lecherously?"
Noticing that Ye Huan seemed far more interested in Jin Ling than in herself, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, as if a vinegar jar had been overturned. She shot her question at Ye Huan, and upon hearing her words, he felt his face flush but was too embarrassed to address it directly, so he turned his head away for the time being.
Similarly, Jin Ling also noticed Ye Huan's gaze. Compared to Zhao Ziyu's jealousy, for some reason, deep down inside her, there was a hint of delight. Even she couldn't quite understand why she felt this way; she could only attribute it to the excitement lingering from her bond with Zhao Ziyu.
"It's nothing, Zhao Ziyu. I have something I want to discuss privately with Jin Ling. I wonder..."
Fearing that he would provoke Zhao Ziyu's jealousy again, after calming his racing heart, Ye Huan directly expressed his intention to her. However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Ziyu immediately looked displeased; her lips pouted slightly, making her look quite adorable.
"You have something to discuss with me?"
With a slight frown, upon hearing Ye Huan's words, Jin Ling appeared very puzzled. It was no wonder she showed such an expression; after all, from her perspective, there had been no secrets between Ye Huan and Zhao Ziyu regarding their previous 'transaction.' She never expected that this time Ye Huan wanted to talk to her alone. If he claimed there was nothing important to discuss, even if it killed her, she wouldn't believe it.
"Yes, this matter must be handled by you. As for Zhao Ziyu..."
Nodding in affirmation of Jin Ling's question, Ye Huan had plans to use Jin Ling to take down the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors one by one. However, he did not want to involve Zhao Ziyu in this scheme. After a brief pause, he glanced at Zhao Ziyu and continued, "It's best if Zhao Ziyu doesn't get involved. Right now, her cultivation is too low. If someone with ill intentions were to exploit her and leak any information, then this plan would be completely ruined."
'What could be so important that Ye Huan doesn't even want Zhao Ziyu involved?'
Furrowing her brows deeper, Jin Ling found it difficult to guess what Ye Huan wanted to discuss with her. However, just from Ye Huan's tone, it was clear that this matter was extremely dangerous; one misstep could lead to irreversible consequences.
In fact, Jin Ling's thoughts were accurate. According to Ye Huan's plan, he intended to use Jin Ling's identity to lure out the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors one by one and eliminate them. If even one Protector managed to escape or if any information leaked out, then Ye Huan's goals would become nearly impossible to achieve. The Protectors would also become wary upon discovering Ye Huan's scheme.
She would never have guessed what Ye Huan wanted from her. After a moment of silence among the three, seeing that Zhao Ziyu had not spoken up, Jin Ling took a step forward and approached Ye Huan.
"Alright, I'll go with you. Let's talk somewhere else!"
"Wait, you don't need to leave. I believe there's no place in Yuxu Palace safer than where we are right now. I should be the one to leave first!"
Finally speaking up in front of Ye Huan and Jin Ling, Zhao Ziyu surprised them by suggesting she needed to step away. As soon as her words fell, she took a step forward and headed down Yuxu Peak without looking back.
"Ye Huan, is it really alright to let Sister Zhao Ziyu leave like this?"
Turning her gaze towards the direction Zhao Ziyu had departed, Jin Ling seemed somewhat worried about Zhao Ziyu's departure. Instead of immediately questioning Ye Huan about what he wanted to discuss with her, she focused on Zhao Ziyu's well-being.
"It's fine. Do you remember what Zhao Ziyu asked me earlier? If we were to follow her suggestion and keep you here in Yuxu Palace, then the first thing we would face is that group of Guardians from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. To eliminate them all without any formations or other mechanisms is simply impossible unless we find an opportunity to take them down one by one."
Ye Huan had not paid much attention to Zhao Ziyu's situation, believing that she had the capacity to think through the matter. Not involving Zhao Ziyu was for her own good; after all, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Only in this way could they take down the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors one by one.
"What?! You want to scatter the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors and take them out one by one? Ye Huan, are you crazy?"
Jin Ling was taken aback by Ye Huan's words. She had never considered dealing with the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors individually. As one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong, Jin Ling knew just how difficult these Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors were to handle. If it hadn't been for Ghost Blade's carelessness last time, Ye Huan wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily.
"Yes, I am crazy. Do you think I don't know how risky it is to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors one by one? To be honest, before the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation was activated, I had always wanted to use it to annihilate the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong in one fell swoop. But now that the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors are aware of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation's existence, regardless of its power, they will certainly not jump into it. Our only option is to take down the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong one by one. As long as we can kill them, it will be beneficial for both you and Yuxu Palace."
Calmly looking at Jin Ling in front of him, Ye Huan's expression contrasted sharply with Jin Ling's fear. However, to be fair, Ye Huan also felt a bit uneasy about taking down the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors one by one. But what other method could they use to eliminate all of them?
As Jin Ling's heart, which had been wavering, grew more resolute upon hearing Ye Huan's words and seeing her expression gradually calm down, Ye Huan continued, "Jin Ling, listen to me; we should..."
