Chapter 1040 The Man in Black Who Infiltrated the Mountain Villa at Night

Li Lengmei was also in her early twenties, with a slender neck and waist, and the same stunning beauty that made people unwilling to look away at first sight.

"Greetings, Leader," Li Lengmei said with a slight bow. "This is the second time I've seen the Leader."

Ye Tian: "Oh, you've seen me before?"

Li Lengmei: "I saw the Leader once in Tang City. I never forget someone I've seen."

Ye Tian nodded, "I'm going to the Eastern Ying to handle some business and will stop by Tang City."

Li Lengmei: "The underground prison in the Eastern Ying was breached, and all the major criminals were released. Only someone with your capabilities could have done this." Da Feng Novel

Ye Tian smiled, neither confirming nor denying, and merely asked, "It seems you've established a firm foothold in the Eastern Ying."

Ling Feng: "It's still early days, and my foundation is not yet stable. But if the Leader could help me resolve a few troubles, I could solidify my position."

Ye Tian: "We'll discuss this matter later."

After introducing everyone, Hei Long said, "Sir, the Strategist has indeed made a move!"

Ye Tian: "He made a move against you?"

Hei Long: "The Strategist suddenly issued an order for all of us to see him before midnight today."

Ye Tian: "See him before midnight today. What do you think his purpose is in doing this?"

Ling Feng: "He must have caught wind of something, but he doesn't know about our alliance yet. However, with his intelligence, he's likely guessed something, which is why he's gathering us together to probe us and conduct an investigation."

Ye Tian: "We have to meet him sooner or later, so I'll go with you to see the Strategist. For now, I will first remove the restrictions on you."

As he freed everyone from their restraints, he began to talk about the Strategist's identity.

"Do you know the Strategist's background?"

Chi Long: "I've followed him for many years and know a little. He might be connected to the Ji Xian Pavilion."

Ye Tian: "He is indeed from the Ji Xian Pavilion."

Bing Feng: "Leader, are you worried about retaliation from the Ji Xian Pavilion?"

Ye Tian: "The Ji Xian Pavilion disbanded the Tian Alliance back then. Even without the Dragon family's affairs, this enmity was already established, so if I were to worry, I would have worried long ago. What I want to know now is, do you have any dealings with the Ji Xian Pavilion?"

Everyone shook their heads. Ling Feng said, "We primarily engage in business and intelligence; we don't inquire about other matters."

As they were talking, Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and then stood up.

Half a minute later, Su Lingxi walked in carrying a gray-clothed man who was unable to move, and tossed him onto the ground.

"This person was lurking nearby, trying to eavesdrop."

Ye Tian nodded, "I'll handle him."

Su Lingxi turned and left. Seeing her, Hei Long looked astonished, as they could all sense Su Lingxi's powerful aura; she was undoubtedly an Earth Immortal!

Ye Tian looked at the gray-clothed man and asked, "Who sent you?"

The gray-clothed man opened his mouth as if to bite something, but Ye Tian kicked him in the stomach, causing him to spit out a pill, likely poison.

"You won't die unless I let you. Speak, and I'll give you a quick end later."

A look of determination flashed across the gray-clothed man's face. He turned his head away; he clearly had no intention of speaking.

Ye Tian pressed his index finger against the man's forehead and uttered a string of syllables. Within seconds, the man's pupils dilated.

Then Ye Tian asked, "Who sent you?"

"The Strategist."

Hearing it was the Strategist, everyone exchanged glances.

Ye Tian continued, "How did you find this place?"

The gray-clothed man: "I followed Ling Feng here." Da Feng Novel Network

"Did you know these people were all here?"

"No, it was a coincidence."

"Why did the Strategist have you follow Ling Feng?"

"Ling Feng is the most disobedient among everyone. The Strategist decided to start his investigation with her."

"Did the Strategist issue any other orders?"

"Yes. The Strategist said that if Ling Feng was found to be betraying them, I was to immediately notify Shen Tuo to apprehend her and execute her on the spot."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Ling Feng's beautiful eyes.

Ye Tian looked at Ling Feng and smiled, "It seems the Strategist is already very displeased with you."
