Chapter 1049: Chapter 1045: Location, Phoenix Mountain!
After learning the secret of the eye mask from Tian Er, the Black Hole Clan’s high-ranking members began to covet this eye mask again. Therefore, Ye Tian could not drop his guard. Although he did not know if there was any power left in the eye mask, he could not let the Black Hole Clan obtain it!
Because if that happened, undoubtedly, some rather unpleasant events would occur!
After returning to the Xiangshan Villa, Ye Tian informed the Night King Hall brothers about the Black Hole Clan’s attempt to seize the “Yin-Yang Cloak” from the headquarters manor. The martial artists were instantly enraged upon hearing this!
“These guys actually think they can steal from us while our headquarters is unattended. This is outrageous!”
“Exactly! If we let them do as they please, what face would we have left in the Night King Hall?”
“Let’s head back immediately and give them a fierce fight!”
…
The martial artists, filled with righteous indignation, spoke with vigor about confronting the Black Hole Clan head-on.
Ye Tian listened with mixed feelings…
The experts of the Black Hole Clan were very powerful. Even Tian Er alone could leave these brothers completely defeated, not to mention Tian Yi, who was far stronger than Tian Er!
The martial artists could easily save their own lives by ignoring Tian Yi’s attempt to steal from the Night King Hall’s headquarters. Yet, they were willing to risk their lives to fight against Tian Yi, which deeply moved Ye Tian.
As the leader of the Night King Hall, he certainly couldn’t allow his subordinates to act recklessly. However, Ye Tian also couldn’t let the Black Hole Clan simply take the “Yin-Yang Cloak.”
Hence, Ye Tian loudly declared, “Brothers, thank you for following me! And thank you for being willing to fight powerful enemies for the Night King Hall! But, since the enemy is exceptionally strong, this time we mustn’t act rashly. We have to strategize carefully!”
Ye Tian’s words brought the noisy martial artists of the Night King Hall to silence. All the martial artists listened attentively, eager to know what Ye Tian would say next…
Ye Tian did not hold back and directly said, “Brothers, the enemy’s goal is to return to Jiang City. Since we have already come to South City, it’s impossible for us to go back and intercept him! However, South City is Black Hole Clan’s territory. If we make a move here, it might alert them. If the Black Hole Clan comes out in full force, it wouldn’t be good for us either!
Therefore, I believe the best way to strike is not in South City or Jiang City, but to ambush him halfway. This way we won’t have to put much effort, and we can achieve our aim!”
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s plan, the martial artists couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Just as Ye Tian mentioned, to deal with Tian Yi heading to Jiang City, attacking halfway was indeed the best method. This way, the Night King Hall wouldn’t have to waste resources, nor would they be disturbed by the Black Hole Clan in South City…
One martial artist promptly asked, “Leader, according to what you said, where should we make our move?”
Ye Tian did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Ye Xuong and said, “Ye Xuong, go and fetch the map of South City!”
“Yes!”
Ye Xuong nodded and then went into the villa, retrieving a map of South City, and spread it out in front of his brothers.
The map was large, allowing all the brothers to see clearly!
Pointing at the map, Ye Tian said, “Brothers, this is the map of South City. Although I don’t know Tian Yi’s mode of travel, I believe that guy won’t be using Qinggong and walking out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the martial artists enthusiastically responded to Ye Tian…
“That’s right! From South City to Jiang City, it’s such a long distance. Even a master with excellent Qinggong would take considerable time and effort to reach Jiang City!”
“Exactly! We’ve never traveled to South City from Jiang City without using transportation, and that was just for the leader to test our strength. If not for such a requirement, there’s no need to travel on foot at all.”
“The people of the Black Hole Clan aren’t fools; they certainly wouldn’t be so stupid!”
…
From the martial artists’ conversations, Ye Tian also realized that these guys had developed a deeper understanding of the Black Hole Clan.
Ye Tian continued, “Brothers, your guess is correct. This means, according to the Black Hole Clan’s habits, they are unlikely to walk to Jiang City. However, given that Tian Yi is under time pressure to complete his task, he only has one option for transportation. What do you think it is?”
“Airplane!”
“By airplane!”
…
The martial artists responded in unison, and Ye Tian’s deduction seemed flawless from every angle.
No matter how skilled at Qinggong a martial artist might be, when performed, their speed can surpass that of a car or train. However, there is one mode of transportation that even the most skilled martial artists cannot outperform, and that is an airplane!
The speed of an airplane is incredibly fast, and no matter how good a martial artist’s Qinggong is, they cannot keep up with it. Therefore, assuming Tian Yi is traveling to Jiang City without utilizing Qinggong, his only option for transportation is by airplane!
Since everyone already knows Tian Yi’s travel route, all martial artists should start discussing countermeasures immediately!
“If that guy really takes a plane, our ambush spots can only be the starting point and the destination. After all, we can’t fly and intercept the plane in mid-air!”
“That’s right! If we act in Nancheng, it will alert them. Does this mean we must ambush at Jiangcheng’s airport?”
“But if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean we have to return to Jiangcheng? Or is there another way? Like sneaking onto the plane and making a move on there?”
…
The martial artists discussed heatedly among themselves, while Ye Tian listened silently without speaking.
After his brothers had stopped their discussion, Ye Tian pointed to a location on the map. He pointed to a place called Phoenix Mountain and said, “Everyone, there’s a mountain called Phoenix Mountain a hundred kilometers north of Nancheng. It’s a vast area with few people around and no buildings nearby, making it a suitable spot for us to act!”
The martial artists exchanged glances, not knowing what Ye Tian’s plan was.
A martial artist cautiously asked, “Boss, that is indeed a good place to make a move, but how can you ensure the plane will fly there? And even if the plane flies there, if it doesn’t land, we still won’t have a chance to act, right?”
This question voiced by the martial artist was exactly what the others wanted to ask, as it was the key issue of the operation.
But Ye Tian didn’t immediately answer their questions. Instead, he deliberately left them hanging!
“Brothers, rest assured, as long as that guy boards the plane, I can ensure the plane lands at Phoenix Mountain. When that time comes, just lay in ambush at Phoenix Mountain and act the moment Tian Yi shows up!”
Ye Tian ordered strongly, and although the Night King Hall’s martial artists were still puzzled about the operation, they couldn’t defy Ye Tian’s command!
So, all the martial artists nodded…
“Boss, although I don’t know how we will ambush that guy, since you’ve said so, we won’t say more! Let’s follow you in this operation then!”
“Yes, boss, when the time comes, lead us brothers to carve a bloody path!”
“Hehehe, I’m sure as long as we follow the boss, interesting things will definitely happen!”
…
Despite the fighting spirit in his brothers’ eyes, Ye Tian said in a low voice, “Brothers, our next target Tian Yi is very strong, far surpassing the previous Tian Er we encountered. I know you’re eager for a big fight, but if we face him head-on, I’m afraid there will be casualties.
So, before this, I have to warn you, do not make the mistake of acting alone in this operation, listen to my commands, don’t act rashly, and also, if I and a few of the top martial artists of Night King Hall can’t defeat Tian Yi, we must escape immediately, understood?”
Ye Tian’s words left the Night King Hall’s martial artists feeling a bit suffocated.
According to Ye Tian, for this ambush on Tian Yi, planning an escape route first is necessary, which is somewhat displeasing for the proud martial artists.
But thinking it over, Ye Tian’s planning is for the safety of the martial artists, so the resistance in their hearts eased a bit as they thought it over…
“Boss is right, it’s wise to be prepared. Since the enemy is strong, making more plans ahead is for the best!”
“Yes! Since the boss said so, we should start getting prepared!”
“There’s no need to waste any more time now!”
…
With that, the martial artists dispersed.
Night King Hall is a unity. Although the martial artists are obsessed with martial arts, they each have their own roles.
Once Ye Tian gave the order, all the martial artists began preparing for the task of ambushing Tian Yi at Phoenix Mountain.
Seeing his brothers busy, Ye Tian said nothing but turned to Ye Xuong and said, “Ye Xuong, you and Qiqi are the strongest among all the martial artists, so in the battle at Phoenix Mountain, you two must play an active role!”
“Boss, do you mean we should join forces against the enemy then?”
Ye Xuong asked curiously. Although he was Ye Tian’s subordinate, whenever completing tasks with Ye Tian, Ye Tian always chose to fight the enemy one-on-one.
This showed the pride of a martial artist, and for someone as strong as Ye Tian, it was only more evident!
But this time, Ye Tian wanted Ye Xuong and Tian Qi to play a role, and even Ye Xuong was surprised…
Ye Tian said with a wry smile, “It’s not about joining forces against the enemy. I’m just asking you and Qiqi to stay ready. This time against Tian Yi, I have a bad feeling!”
