Chapter 1898: I Heard Someone Is Impersonating Me?
"Since they came a day later, it must still be the few people who were beaten away yesterday. Even if they bring Imperial Dragon Mountain, they can’t defeat the current Willow Leaf City, so there’s nothing to worry about."
Although his expression was grim, Beicang just felt extremely uncomfortable about being washed white by Qianwang Holy Tower.
After all, they were just driven away yesterday, and now they dare to come openly to clear their names, it’s absolutely outrageous.
Anyone would be unhappy, and it seems they have no choice but to reluctantly accept their cleansing.
After all, there is no direct evidence to prove that Qian Shengwei is Pei Yupo.
The most important thing is that Qianwang Holy Tower is too powerful, and there is no way to openly tear faces with them now.
But Leng Chan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "If they were just bringing Imperial Dragon Mountain to fight us, we wouldn’t be afraid. The fear is that Willow Leaf Saint Manor might directly rely on Qianwang Holy Tower."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jianyun’s expression suddenly changed, and he slightly widened his eyes.
But Beicang was stunned...
Then she stared incredulously at Leng Chan and said, "That’s unlikely, right? Yesterday, Ye Wushen’s own sister died at their hands, along with so many Willow Leaf people’s bodies not cold in their graves. How could he rely on his enemies?"
After speaking, Beicang also remembered what Ye Wushen had just said about being willing to sacrifice everything for Overlord Commerce.
It seemed even more impossible; no normal person would be so spineless, let alone Ye Wushen, a top-level Emperor.
However, at this time, Old Xin also spoke coldly, "For people like Willow Leaf Saint Manor, nothing is impossible... Great Heaven Decision, we must be prepared for Ye Wushen’s betrayal."
Upon hearing this, Beicang looked at Old Xin again, wondering if Old Xin was exaggerating a bit?
But Leng Chan continued, "Without closely interacting with them, it’s absolutely unimaginable how shameless they can be."
Beicang and Xi Tu had not truly interacted with Ye Wushen and others, not even Murong Jianyun.
But Leng Chan and Old Xin were almost entirely involved in the war of Willow Leaf City, and they had firsthand experience. If it weren’t for Sikong Jing’s step-by-step coercion, Ye Wushen would have kneeled down to become a dog long ago...
At this time, Murong Jianyun’s fist tightened, and he believed it.
He had also talked to Leng Sha that day and learned about everything Sikong Jing had done in Willow Leaf City before and after. Although he hadn’t experienced the shameless behavior of Ye Wushen and others, he was mentally prepared for various actions of Willow Leaf Saint Manor.
Swoosh...
A message bird suddenly flew from Murong Jianyun’s hand, and he then said heavily, "I have now notified Shi Douxing and the people of Batian Branch to be ready for battle at any time."
Then, Murong Jianyun said again, "Now let’s go out secretly to see what Qianwang Holy Tower has to say to Ye Wushen."
With that, they disappeared from Willow Leaf Hall and followed secretly.
...
Outside the war-torn and dilapidated gate of Willow Leaf Saint Manor, Ye Wushen led the Willow Leaf people, along with Xi Tu, and stepped out. Then their pupils shrank.
They saw a beast chariot outside the gate, surrounded by four people.
Each wore a half-mask.
Without careful observation, it seemed as if they were ordinary guards, but upon closer look, they were recognizable as the four Emperors including Chang Sanghuang from yesterday. The beast chariot was completely open...
On it proudly sat a middle-aged man and a young man.
They were all dressed in the attire of Qianwang Holy Tower, the middle-aged man with his eyes lightly closed as if resting.
The young man, however, smiled as he looked toward Ye Wushen and others, as if anticipating something.
Instantly, Ye Wushen and others understood, this was Young Master Qianwang Pei Yupo and the so-called Qian Demon Fighting Saint...
They trembled with anger; Qianwang Holy Tower was truly brazen, yet Ye Wushen could only step up, pretending not to recognize them, and said, "Greetings to the people of Qianwang Holy Tower, Ye Wushen pays his respects."
As soon as the words fell, Chang Sanghuang, with his half-mask, sneered slightly.
Then he introduced indifferently, "Lord Ye, this is our Qianwang Holy Tower’s young master, Pei Yupo!"
Upon these words, the mouths of the Willow Leaf people kept twitching, but they dared not react too much.
Then, Chang Sanghuang introduced Pei Chang...
Finally, Ye Wushen could only bow his head again and said respectfully, "Greetings to Young Master Yupo, Lord Pei Chang. May I know if there is anything in particular your presence demands of me?"
He just wanted to quickly find out what Qianwang Holy Tower intended to do.
Upon hearing these words, Pei Yupo suddenly smiled slightly, then spoke in a leisurely tone, "Lord Ye, we heard that Willow Leaf City has encountered great misfortune. Naturally, we came to see if there may be anything requiring our intervention?"
He certainly had the comportment of a superior noble, and his tone was extraordinarily confident.
It was as if he wasn’t the one beaten away yesterday, as if all that happened yesterday had nothing to do with him. He really was just the passing-by Young Master Qianwang, generously extending goodwill, and offering help to Willow Leaf City.
Ye Wushen and others found themselves speechless; Qianwang Young Master seemed even more shameless and low than they were...
Eventually, Ye Wushen certainly dared not expose him and could only say that Willow Leaf City had already achieved victory, so assistance was not needed for the time being.
After speaking, Ye Wushen was particularly nervous...
He didn’t know if Qianwang Young Master would suddenly declare war or utter threats.
Nothing at all...
Pei Yupo suddenly changed his tone and asked with a smile, "Rumor has it that someone impersonated me at Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall. Is it true or not?"
At this question, Ye Wushen, Liu Shizeng, and others gaped, instinctively glancing at the nearby Xi Tu; now they really didn’t know how to respond and could only see how Overlord Commerce would handle it.
Who doesn’t know; it was you in the mask yesterday?
Xi Tu’s face was equally sullen, for he knew Pei Yupo was preparing to clear his name.
But now he didn’t know how to refute either; wanting to expose but having no evidence, yet feeling terribly uncomfortable if he didn’t.
Meanwhile, Murong Jianyun and others also arrived around, completely hidden in the darkness, and upon hearing these words, their faces also turned ashen, knowing rushing out to expose now would likely be futile...
The other could argue back and could even bestow blame upon Overlord Commerce from above.
And they certainly couldn’t just kill the people from Qianwang Holy Tower on the spot, as that would mean formal declaration of war.
In the deadly silence inside and outside Willow Leaf Saint Manor...
Pei Yupo suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Willow Leaf Saint Manor, we have another important matter to tell you on this visit to Willow Leaf City. Our Qianwang Holy Tower intends to cooperate with Willow Leaf Saint Manor."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Wushen was dumbfounded again, cooperation?
Of course, Murong Jianyun and others widened their eyes, exchanging glances, suddenly feeling a chill in their hearts: truly intending to recruit Willow Leaf Saint Manor.
"In other words..."
"As long as Willow Leaf Saint Manor agrees to become our Qianwang Holy Tower’s vassal force, from now on it will be under the protection of Qianwang Holy Tower, and occurrences like attacks from Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall will never happen again."
"And you, Ye Wushen, will also become the most important Guest Elder of Qianwang Holy Tower."
Here, Pei Yupo enunciated word by word, then stared directly at Ye Wushen.
