Chapter 690: Chapter 268: A Thousand Feet, Schemes, Hidden Sword Technique

The two of them smiled at each other and then stopped at a distance of three zhang apart.

"Brother Yi, you’ve come from afar. What brings you here?

Since you’re here, why don’t you come to my mansion for a visit?"

Ye Yanshu, as the host, spoke first with a smile.

"I’ve come this time to negotiate.

I just wonder if Brother Ye is willing to give me this favor."

Yi Hongyun smiled, speaking directly.

"Oh?

Who would dare not give face to Brother Yi?

Feel free to speak, Brother Yi.

If it’s within my ability, I won’t decline."

Ye Yanshu’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke.

"Oh?

It seems Brother Ye still values our friendship.

Then let’s have a chat at your mansion first.

It would be good to discuss our experiences over the years and explore cultivation paths.

Now that Brother Ye’s skill has improved, I must ask for your guidance."

Yi Hongyun’s face finally showed a trace of a smile, then he spoke.

"Certainly, certainly!"

Ye Yanshu agreed, then invited him directly to the Market Master’s Mansion.

"Perhaps, this is an opportunity?"

Zhou Changwang’s eyes slightly brightened upon seeing this.

He had been worried that if Ye Yanshu stayed together with Ye Hongyi or stayed close, he would be in a passive position.

Once he decides to act, he must deliver a Thunderous Strike to kill Ye Hongyi. Otherwise, he wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping the ensuing chase led by Ye Yanshu.

Previously.

When he killed Ye Ping’an, he had already experienced the horror of being chased by the other party.

If not for the fact that the other party was quite a distance away at that time, and he managed to escape in time without being locked onto by the other’s Divine Sense.

Otherwise, the consequences could have been easily imagined.

With his skills at that time, survival was impossible.

Now.

His strength has grown tremendously compared to before.

But the absolute strength gap still makes him uneasy.

If locked onto by the other party’s Divine Sense and his speed isn’t on par, he estimates it would be difficult to escape unscathed even if he uses all his skills.

"And now, if Yi Hongyun can entangle Ye Yanshu, then there’s a chance to separate him from Ye Hongyi.

If the two are at least a thousand zhang apart, I have some confidence to act."

Zhou Changwang thought silently, feeling a bit helpless inside.

A thousand zhang.

Even a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator would need ten breaths of time to reach it.

And in this time, he believes he can fully utilize his means.

Once unleashed.

It would be best if it could kill with a single strike.

If not, he must immediately turn around and flee, not linger any longer.

"This matter is indeed extremely risky.

Because once the action truly begins, no one knows what consequences will follow.

Even the Karma Desire Technique’s calculations can only estimate roughly.

It can estimate the general growth environment and location of certain treasures.

Because these treasures originally exist in those places and are recorded by the heavens and earth. First comes the spiritual object treasure, and then me, detecting their corresponding location using magic.

The two are always in a cycle of cause and effect.

But once fighting begins, everything becomes unknown.

Even the Karma Desire Technique can only use the existing information, particularly what I know myself, to perform calculations.

The result is not necessarily accurate.

Just like Ye Yanshu’s combat strength.

It is only estimated based on my previous understanding from various aspects.

The actual combat strength of the opponent can only truly be understood after actual engagement and battle.

Moreover.

Strength is mutable.

Breakthroughs in cultivation, strengthening of Divine Sense, possession of magical treasure, or mastering of divine techniques can invisibly enhance a cultivator’s strength.

Who knows if Ye Yanshu hasn’t improved during this time?"

Zhou Changwang pondered, feeling it was somewhat uncertain.

However, he only had one chance to act. If not now, things could worsen.

Thus, Zhou Changwang began silently waiting.

In fact, he hadn’t been idle during this period.

Regarding Ye Hongyi, he conducted some investigations.

Back in Fengming Dock Marketplace, he could gather information through brokers.

In Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, naturally, there were similar people.

Under the Great Cave Celestial Observation, by being observant without resorting to the black market, he easily found several brokers and learned many details about Ye Hongyi from them.

Among them was his cultivation level: Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment, ranked among the top three talents in the Ye Family of Celestial River Domain.

A Dual Attribute Spirit Root cultivator who practices the Red Dust Technique, a dual cultivation method.

Additionally.

It’s noteworthy that due to this cultivation technique, he has a significant demand in that aspect.

During his residence in Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, he visits the corresponding red buildings almost every few days...

"Among the red buildings he frequents, there are three: Drunken Fragrance Tower, Celestial Moon Pavilion, and Xinyuan Hall.

Among them, both Drunken Fragrance Tower and Celestial Moon Pavilion are relatively close to the Market Master’s Mansion, less than five hundred zhang away.

Only Xinyuan Hall is relatively further away, just reaching a thousand zhang distance.

If tonight, Ye Hongyi chooses to spend the night at Xinyuan Hall, then I have the opportunity to act.
