Chapter 1047: Chapter 1043: The Elder and the Head of the Thirteen Guards
“Elder Xi Feng, it was my dereliction of duty, I did not expect the enemy to be so cunning!”
Tian Yi stammered, his words immediately made Ye Tian widen his eyes, staring straight at the man in the white suit!
This seemingly young fresh face is actually the elder of the Black Hole Clan that Tian Yi spoke of!
Isn’t he too young?
“No! It should just be that he looks young!”
Ye Tian quickly shook his head, thinking from another angle.
Just as Ye Tian suspected, since the other party is one of the elders of the Black Hole Clan, naturally he would also be a master of the Black Hole Clan’s pinnacle technology. With such advanced technology, wanting to make himself look a bit younger is naturally without pressure.
This means that this elder named “Xi Feng” from the Black Hole Clan must actually be quite old, otherwise, how could he have reached the pinnacle in martial arts and command the thirteen guards?
“The enemy is very cunning?”
Upon hearing Tian Yi’s words, Elder Xi Feng couldn’t help but frown.
Tian Yi hurriedly said, “Yes, Elder Xi Feng, the enemy is extremely cunning; not only did the ‘Sentry’ have no way with him, but even after I investigated the surveillance videos, I found nothing. This person managed to reach the eighteenth floor without leaving a trace, it’s truly astounding!”
“Is it true?”
Elder Xi Feng was also stunned, propping his hand on the table, resting his chin in deep thought.
Just as Tian Yi said, Ye Tian is indeed an expert in counter-surveillance, so avoiding the cameras on every floor is simply a piece of cake!
After all, he was there to gather intelligence, and Ye Tian did not want to become the subject of others’ investigations, so once he arrived at the New World Building, he used his clairvoyant ability to locate every camera.
While going upstairs and investigating each floor’s situation, Ye Tian deliberately avoided the cameras, so it’s impossible for his image to appear in the surveillance videos!
And from Elder Xi Feng’s mention of “Sentry,” Ye Tian also realized what it was, those should be the tentacles that attacked him earlier!
It turns out these things are the sentries of the Black Hole Clan, and their role is quite extensive, not only can they seek out targets, but they can also assist in silencing.
Tian Er met his end at the hands of these sentries…
“It seems it’s the work of the Night King once again!”
After pondering for a while, Elder Xi Feng immediately drew a conclusion, a conclusion that slightly surprised Ye Tian…
This guy deduced everything was done by him with just a bit of reasoning, it seems, this elder named “Xi Feng” is not one to be trifled with!
“It’s him again! Tian Er also died at his hands!”
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s name, Tian Yi immediately gnashed his teeth in anger.
Ye Tian also noticed Tian Yi’s tooth-grinding action, it seems, this guy truly hates him to the core!
Elder Xi Feng glanced at Tian Yi and immediately comforted, “Tian Yi, don’t be sad, Tian Er died because he knew too much about the Black Hole Clan. If the Night King captured and interrogated him, the Night King would know our secrets, and at that time, how could we achieve the great cause of the Black Hole Clan?
In the Black Hole Clan, we have always been forgiving, for example, even though Tian Liu was interrogated, since he revealed little, we elders spared him! Even Tian Qi, who has already defected, haven’t we refrained from hunting her down completely?”
“…”
Hearing Elder Xi Feng’s words, the vicious expression on Tian Yi’s face immediately relaxed.
“Elder Xi Feng, rest assured, for the great cause of our clansmen, I will exert all my effort until death!”
In front of Elder Xi Feng, Tian Yi declared firmly, and Ye Tian couldn’t help but sigh, it seems this Elder Xi Feng is indeed a master of persuasion, swaying Tian Yi to make an oath with just a few words.
As for why the elders of the Black Hole Clan don’t kill Tian Liu and Tian Qi, Ye Tian thinks it is absolutely not out of mercy as claimed by these elders; keeping Tian Liu and Tian Qi alive must be for some reason.
And the death of Tian Er, as Elder Xi Feng said, is likely because the Black Hole Clan didn’t want Tian Er to leak too much information to him, that’s why they silenced him…
This being the case, Ye Tian felt a bit regretful too. If he hadn’t been careless at the time and had shattered all those tentacles, he might have been able to learn more secrets about the Black Hole Clan from Tian Er’s mouth. Perhaps, he could even know the whereabouts of his wife, Yun Xinyan!
Seeing Tian Yi pledge his loyalty, Elder Xi Feng smiled and said, “Tian Yi, don’t be discouraged, because Tian Er didn’t die in vain. It was through his battle with the Night King that us elders learned the most critical intelligence, which is that the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ is actually in the hands of the Night King!”
“What!?”
Xi Feng’s words sent a shock through Ye Tian’s heart, almost making him cry out.
During the battle with Tian Er, there was indeed a mention of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’…
But the discussion about the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ between the two of them didn’t last long, and they soon stopped talking and continued fighting…
In other words, the conversation between himself and Tian Er was eavesdropped on by the elders of the Black Hole Clan, yet even so, how did the elders determine that the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ must be in his possession?
As Ye Tian was completely puzzled, Elder Xi Feng continued, “The ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ is a Divine Artifact created by the ancestors of the Black Hole Clan, its power far exceeds those carriers of the Power of Death, the ‘Egg of Death,’ representing the future of the Black Hole Clan.
However, the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ mysteriously disappeared. For centuries, our clan members have been searching, but all in vain. If it weren’t for the battle between Tian Er and the Night King, our clan might never know the whereabouts of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’!
So, it seems Tian Er’s death was not meaningless. His death has paved the way for a bright future for the development of the Black Hole Clan! As long as we can reclaim the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ we can realize the great cause of the Black Hole Clan centuries ahead using the energy from within the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’!”
Elder Xi Feng boastfully said, but the more Ye Tian listened, the more alarmed he became!
The eyepiece he obtained indeed concealed great power, but could this power really be so significant that even the elders of the Black Hole Clan coveted it?
Tian Er had told him that the energy of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ could replenish itself after being used for a while, and after his battle with the King of Hell ended, he had hidden the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak.’ Could it be that the energy of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ has already been restored?
In fact, because Ye Tian had not concerned himself with the eyepiece matters for a long time, he didn’t know whether the power within it had been restored or not…
“Elder Xi Feng, let me take care of this! I will definitely find the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ and return it to you elders’ hands! I will go to the Xiangshan Villa Area immediately!”
Since Elder Xi Feng had already disclosed the immense role of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ Tian Yi dared not delay, immediately offering to undertake the task.
However, Elder Xi Feng showed a playful smile!
“Tian Yi, you are wrong, that item should not be with the Night King anymore. Although he gained power and abilities through the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ since the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ no longer serves his expectations, the Night King would have relinquished it!”
“…”
Unlike the impatient Tian Yi, Elder Xi Feng appeared calm and composed, speaking in a well-organized and clear way, without any confusion.
From Tian Yi’s mouth, Ye Tian heard the words “Xiangshan Villa Area,” meaning the Black Hole Clan already knew his and the Night King Hall’s warriors’ location.
But, even knowing that the Night King Hall posed a significant threat to his rule in the South City, why didn’t they dispatch experts to the Xiangshan for a showdown?
Just Tian Er alone caused the Night King Hall’s warriors, apart from himself, to suffer greatly. In that case, if the Black Hole Clan sent more experts, even if he were present, he might find himself in dire straits!
Ye Tian couldn’t find a suitable explanation for the motives of the Black Hole Clan…
Why do they turn a blind eye to the Night King Hall, which poses a great threat to them?
As Ye Tian pondered carefully, Elder Xi Feng continued, “Tian Yi, I know you’re very loyal, and you’ve expressed multiple times your desire to wipe out the warriors of the Night King Hall! But now, we must keep the Night King alive because it aligns with the overall interests of our Black Hole Clan!
You shouldn’t be overly anxious, after all, the Night King Hall and the Night King are no match for our Black Hole Clan. Once our ultimate goal is achieved, you can deal with them as you wish! In the meantime, Tian Yi, I’m assigning you an important task, please make sure to complete it carefully!”
Elder Xi Feng said heavily, and Tian Yi immediately perked up and said, “Elder Xi Feng, please give your orders!”
“Tian Yi, as I mentioned earlier, the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ can accelerate our plan, so now that we’ve discovered the location of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ our clan members will no longer hold back. This time, I am dispatching you to retrieve the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak.’ If my guess is correct, the location of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ should be in Jiang City, within the headquarters estate of the Night King Hall!”
Elder Xi Feng resolutely said, and upon hearing this, Ye Tian couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration!
“What a formidable guy, his deductive ability is probably above anyone else’s!”
It seems, if I ever encounter this elder named ‘Xi Feng’ in the future, I must be even more cautious and vigilant…
