Chapter 1048: Chapter 1044: Little Mouse
“Elder Xi Feng, rest assured, as the head of the Thirteen Guardians, I will definitely follow your instructions and perfectly complete the task you’ve assigned!”
Tian Yi said, patting his chest, his words carrying a hint of murderous intent that even Ye Tian could clearly sense through the thick ceiling!
Although Tian Yi looked small and thin, the powerful combat strength hidden within his slim frame was beyond words.
Seeing Tian Yi’s confident look, Elder Xi Feng smiled as well and continued, “Tian Yi, your strength far surpasses that of the other members of the Thirteen Guardians. Even I, as an elder of the Black Hole Clan, must regard your strength with some caution. Therefore, you are a fitting choice to retrieve the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’!
But before you go, I must warn you not to underestimate the martial artists of the Night King Hall, especially the leader, the Night King! He is not an ordinary character!”
Tian Yi showed disdain in response to Elder Xi Feng’s advice!
“The Night King? What’s there to worry about these infamous underground names? Compared to our Black Hole Clan, they’re nothing but ants! The so-called King of Hell, Rakshasa Queen, and Night King – they’re all just big fish in a small pond!”
“That’s where you’re wrong!” Elder Xi Feng immediately denied Tian Yi’s argument, “The Night King is not like the King of Hell or the Rakshasa Queen. He’s very young and has great potential for growth; that’s why he can defeat two opponents of equal fame!”
“I will be careful!”
After all, it was advice from an elder, so Tian Yi naturally had to heed it. He nodded and said.
Elder Xi Feng then added, “And one more thing, Tian Yi, remember this! Your purpose in going to Jiang City is to find the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ which is crucial for the Black Hole Clan. Avoid engaging in fights if possible, unless someone prevents you, then you may retaliate!
The more important point is that while you may kill the martial artists of the Night King Hall, you must spare the Night King’s life, understand?”
“I will! Although this guy caused trouble in the South City, as long as keeping him alive benefits the entire clan, I won’t kill him!”
Tian Yi nodded and said.
“…”
Ye Tian, hiding in the ceiling, felt somewhat numb.
What purpose does the Black Hole Clan have, to indulge their own like this?
Even though I brought so many brothers from the Night King Hall to cause trouble in the South City, they still intend to spare my life?
Of course, even if the Black Hole Clan doesn’t kill me, Ye Tian felt no gratitude towards them, because these people surely have deeper schemes, though Ye Tian does not yet know what the Black Hole Clan is plotting.
As Ye Tian was pondering the Black Hole Clan’s goal, Tian Yi suddenly stood up and declared to Elder Xi Feng, “Elder Xi Feng, there’s no time to lose. Since you’ve ordered me to go to Jiang City to retrieve our clan’s sacred item, the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ I will prepare immediately and set off at once!”
“Hmm! That’s good…”
Elder Xi Feng nodded in approval, but in the next second, he raised his head to look at the ceiling.
“Huh?”
Elder Xi Feng’s brow furrowed, catching Tian Yi’s attention.
“Elder Xi Feng, is something the matter?”
Tian Yi directly asked, and Elder Xi Feng pointed at the ceiling above.
“There seems to be some movement, or maybe not…”
These words, of course, reached Ye Tian’s ears clearly.
At this moment, Ye Tian, who was in the ventilation duct in the ceiling, couldn’t help but be startled!
My way of concealing my breathing is quite advanced, and now I’ve become one with the ceiling and the ventilation duct. The fact that they can still detect me, that’s impressive indeed!
However, if I am truly exposed, there will be no choice but to fight, so Ye Tian tightened his fists, ready at any moment.
“Movement? Elder Xi Feng, are you joking? With our level of strength, can anyone eavesdrop on our conversation?”
Tian Yi appeared puzzled and said.
Just as Tian Yi mentioned, both he and Elder Xi Feng were among the top experts of the Black Hole Clan, their perception was extraordinary. Typically, they would sense anyone coming within thirty to fifty meters. Not to mention, eavesdropping from the ceiling of the meeting room…
“Precisely because our perception isn’t weak, it’s strange! If there’s truly someone eavesdropping on the ceiling, it must be a master!”
Elder Xi Feng said worriedly, and Tian Yi raised his fist and said heavily: “In that case, let me punch a hole in the ceiling. I want to see who dares to eavesdrop on our Black Hole Clan’s conversation!”
As he said this, Tian Yi gathered his strength into his fist. With just one punch, the force would shatter the entire ceiling, leaving Ye Tian with no place to hide…
Therefore, Ye Tian could only prepare himself, as soon as he appeared, he would engage in a fierce battle with Tian Yi and Elder Xi Feng!
“Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~~~~~”
Just as Tian Yi was about to smash the ceiling with his fist, a sudden squeaking sound of a mouse rang out beside Ye Tian.
A mouse, seemingly sensing the murderous intent in Tian Yi’s hand, could no longer hold back and scurried past Ye Tian, slipping out through the ventilation duct!
This scene naturally couldn’t escape the eyes of Elder Xi Feng and Tian Yi…
Tian Yi laughed and said, “So it was this little guy. It seems this New World Building has become a haven for mice due to years of disrepair!”
Saying this, Tian Yi withdrew the force he had been preparing, after all, destroying the ceiling for a little mouse was not worth it!
“It seems so indeed!”
Elder Xi Feng also chuckled.
The appearance of the little mouse made this elder of the Black Hole Clan completely let down his guard.
“I was indeed overly suspicious earlier. Tian Yi, you’re right, how could there be anyone that neither you nor I could detect?”
As Elder Xi Feng spoke, he walked to Tian Yi’s side and patted him on the shoulder.
“Tian Yi, since there’s nothing here anymore, go carry out your mission! Remember what I said, retrieving the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ is the priority, avoid conflict with others, and do not kill the King of Night, understood?”
“Yes!”
Tian Yi immediately responded, then left the conference room, and Elder Xi Feng followed in his steps.
The two arrived at a wall on the eighteenth floor, Elder Xi Feng placed his hand on the wall, a door immediately opened, and Elder Xi Feng and Tian Yi walked inside.
Afterward, the door closed again, reverting to a wall.
“So that’s where the entrance to the nineteenth floor is!”
Ye Tian murmured to himself.
Earlier, he had been searching aimlessly on the eighteenth floor, unable to find the entrance to the nineteenth floor. Thanks to Elder Xi Feng and Tian Yi, he finally found it.
This door was designed to be extremely hidden, requiring a hand to activate it, and after it closed, it left no trace, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect!
More importantly, the material of this door, like the exterior walls of the New World Building, could shield his clairvoyant ability, so Ye Tian had no way of finding this door with his ability…
Thinking about how the Black Hole Clan’s technology far surpassed all humanity, Ye Tian couldn’t help but worry that future battles with them might be fraught with difficulties due to their technology!
With no one around, Ye Tian came to the entrance to the nineteenth floor, feeling somewhat hesitant…
The floors above the eighteenth in the New World Building were likely strongholds of the Black Hole Clan. If he could enter the nineteenth floor and higher, he could naturally discover more of their secrets.
However, the resistance he would encounter would surely be substantial. Although he had defeated Tian Er, Tian Yi and the elders of the Black Hole Clan were not easy opponents, and Ye Tian did not have the confidence to defeat them now.
Therefore, after much consideration, Ye Tian decided against barging into the floors above the eighteenth, as his strength was still somewhat lacking, and recklessly fighting these high-level members of the Black Hole Clan might cause significant trouble.
The purpose of Ye Tian’s trip to the southern city was to find his wife, Yun Xinyan, and if conflicts could be avoided, it was best to do so…
Having made up his mind, Ye Tian descended the stairs.
As when he came, Ye Tian avoided the surveillance equipment in the New World Building, and at the entrance as well. Except for the security guard who saw Ye Tian, he left no trace in the surveillance videos.
When he entered, Ye Tian had taken a name tag, and when he left, the security guard saw the name tag on Ye Tian’s chest, so naturally, they did not question Ye Tian’s identity.
After leaving the New World Building, Ye Tian hurried back to Xiangshan Villa.
After all, the situation was urgent, and Ye Tian couldn’t afford any delay…
From the conversation between Elder Xi Feng and Tian Yi, Ye Tian could discern that Tian Yi would return to Jiang City next, to the Night King Hall headquarters manor, to find the Black Hole Clan’s secret treasure, the “Yin-Yang Cloak.”
The Yin-Yang Cloak was the eyepiece Ye Tian had used before. After using it the first time, Ye Tian gained the ability of clairvoyance, then the eyepiece’s power disappeared; during its second use, Ye Tian faked his death and then revived, after which the eyepiece’s power disappeared again!
Since then, Ye Tian had carefully kept the eyepiece, hiding it in his room at the Night King Hall. Although he frequently checked on it, no matter how he observed it, the eyepiece never exhibited its power again!
So, Ye Tian had somewhat neglected the eyepiece…
