Chapter 379 anytime, anywhere
"You...are people of Chief Ye?"
Xiahou Dun released his grip on the sword hilt on the table, trying to regain his composure, and said calmly, "Chief Ye, is there anything you wish to discuss? If so, we can talk it over..."
"Heh, don't you know what's going on?" the masked man in black robes said with a half-smile. "Your plans are all under our surveillance."
Xiahou Dun's face turned deathly pale instantly.
“Duke Xiahou is a very capable man. The Eastern Territory has improved a lot under your rule over the years, and we admire you quite a bit.” The man in the black mask said slowly, “But a person who is out of touch with reality and cannot see the situation clearly, no matter how capable he is, usually will not have a good ending.”
"I...I understand..." Xiahou Dun's aura as a duke had completely crumbled, cold sweat pouring down his face: "I never wanted to be enemies with Lord Yege, I never even considered..."
"Never thought of it?" the masked man said with amusement. "But you just seemed to be gathering your army, conducting pre-battle drills?"
“That was an order from His Majesty the Emperor!” Xiahou Dun quickly explained, “I have to go through the motions, otherwise I won’t be able to explain myself, but in the end, I absolutely do not want to participate in this war.”
“Very well, in that case, we can let you go.” The man in the black mask said with satisfaction, “I hope you can make the right choice when the time comes. Many times, life and death are just a matter of a single thought.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the short sword that had been pressed against Xiahou Dun's neck was pulled away.
The broadsword hanging above his head, the longsword pointing at his heart, and the two chain swords wrapped around his arms were all withdrawn.
Xiahou Dun was somewhat bewildered.
These people went through so much trouble to sneak in... are they really just going to let him go like this?
He thought these people would definitely take this opportunity to eliminate them completely!
"We've already eliminated the spies Long Hai planted around you. Duke Xiahou is a smart man; surely we don't need to tell you what to do next?"
After the man in the black mask finished speaking, he casually tossed a bulging sack full of broth in front of Xiahoudun.
The rope at the opening of the sack wasn't tied tightly, and when it was thrown in front of Xiahoudun, the rope immediately loosened, and two bloody heads rolled out of it.
One of them was Chen Ping's head.
"..."
Xiahou Dun's breathing stopped abruptly.
“We’re leaving,” said the man in the black mask. “We’ll meet again on the wedding day, Duke Xiahou.”
At that moment, another person wearing a dark green mask and a black robe walked in from outside.
The seventh man in black robes.
The dark green masked man stretched out his hand. Judging from his forearm protruding from the sleeve of his robe, he was quite old, with many age marks on his wrist. Xiahou Dun could also sense that, compared to the other masked men, this guy was only at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but...
The person wearing the dark green mask formed a hand seal and silently recited some kind of incantation.
Suddenly, countless runes appeared out of thin air in the room, spinning around in the floating room, shimmering with magical light, and automatically arranging themselves in order.
Immediately, as these runes were pieced together, the space in front of them began to distort.
A small, dark blue portal suddenly appeared before Xiahoudun!
Xiahou Dun's eyes widened, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide, as if his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His face was filled with shock and astonishment.
"If Duke Xiahou makes another foolish decision, we will appear before you again anytime, anywhere, just like we do today."
The masked man casually left behind these words.
Then he stepped into the portal.
The other six men in black robes followed behind him, their figures disappearing into the deep, distorted spatial tunnel.
One minute later, the portal gradually disappeared.
The distorted space gradually returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xiahou Dun leaned back in his chair, as if he had just walked through the underworld. His back was covered in sweat, and his clothes were completely soaked.
He knew it...
We should never have provoked the Ye family!
......
The western border, Gran City.
Walter was lounging comfortably on a large leather sofa, shirtless, with a pear in his hand. A young and pretty girl was massaging his shoulders behind him, while his legs were draped over the legs of two other pretty girls, who were giving him massages.
"Hiccup~"
Walter let out a burp, patted his large belly with satisfaction, and then reached out and hooked the girl's chin behind him with his finger.
"You know how to enjoy yourself, Duke of the West."
The echo of the black-masked man's demonic voice resounded.
Walter was stunned for a moment.
Six mysterious figures dressed in black robes and wearing masks of various colors appeared before him at the same time.
"ah......!!"
The three girls screamed in fear.
Because all six men in black robes were covered in blood.
Clearly, the guards outside have all been killed by them.
The white-masked man, annoyed by their noise, raised two fingers and cast a "silencing spell."
The room then became completely quiet.
"So...it's the Ye family..."
Walter chuckled nervously. He had seen these people make a move at the Dark City press conference and knew their strength.
Although he was also a powerful being at the Heavenly Revelation Realm, he did not consider himself stronger than those three werewolf warriors at the Heavenly Revelation Realm back then!
So unlike the Duke of the Eastern Territory, he never even considered resisting from the beginning. Upon seeing the six men in black robes, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm very pragmatic. I never intended to be an enemy of Lord Nightsong. As for His Majesty the Emperor, I'm just dealing with him; I will absolutely not lead troops to attack the Southern Territory... really, really..."
"Is that so?" The masked man tilted his head, surprised that things had gone so smoothly.
“Yes, yes, absolutely.” Walter sighed, “When His Majesty ordered us to go to war with your Ye family, I knew he had made a foolish move… Please go back and tell Lord Yege that I will not do anything stupid.”
"However... if His Majesty the Emperor were to seek revenge after this incident, my life would be in danger..."
Walter glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and tentatively asked.
The masked man, of course, understood his meaning and said calmly, "Don't worry, after this incident, you will never see Long Hai again."
"Is that so..." Having received the assurance, Walter breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Then I'm relieved, hehehe..."
