God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me - Chapter 817 - 817: Prince Jin's Core Members List! Stabbed in the Back!
“Rest assured, Young Master Fan, there’s no reluctance at all—this is genuinely a decision guided by our hearts! The Cao Family willingly submits to Young Master Fan, and we will follow your lead unquestionably!”
Thud!
Cao Yuan, despite his reluctance, still found himself helplessly kneeling on the ground!
As the intelligence head for Prince Jin, Cao Yuan was a legitimate line within the legitimate line.
To be honest, if possible, Cao Yuan really didn’t want to do this, but the current situation forced his hand—Cao Yuan had no choice!
Before him, with the Wu Family Ancestor and the Yan Family as precedents, those who didn’t submit were swiftly meeting their demise.
Sigh!
“Excellent! Since you’ve submitted, you should show some sincerity… Come on then, hand over the detailed deployment structure of Prince Jin’s personnel across Great Xia, as well as the core member names!”
Ye Fan’s gaze was devilishly fixed on Cao Yuan, and once he spoke, it was a bombshell!
Asking for Prince Jin’s deployment map was truly insane!
If this list got into Ye Fan’s hands, would Prince Jin have any secrets left? It was like laying bare before Ye Fan!
Hiss!
Cao Yuan gasped in shock, looking fearfully towards his ancestor, Cao Shang.
If Prince Jin’s defense maps were leaked, what would Prince Jin play at then?
Moreover, in doing so, the Cao Family would have burnt all their bridges as well!
Although Ye Fan had supposedly fallen and the Ye Family had disintegrated, it seemed there was no one who could compete with Prince Jin anymore. But now, Fan Ye asked for Prince Jin’s power distribution map and a list of the core members; the situation was alarming.
Was he planning to make a move on Prince Jin?
Cao Yuan’s mind raced, and after much pondering, he arrived at a possibility: that Ye Fan of the Northwest hadn’t truly died but had simply assumed a new identity… Was Fan Ye in front of him none other than Ye Fan?
But what frustrated Cao Yuan was that, although he had long harbored such suspicions…
As the head of the intelligence department, Cao Yuan trusted evidence more.
Investigations in the Northwest had produced all evidence pointing to Ye Fan having been blown to pieces… So how could Fan Ye possibly be Ye Fan?
“What are you looking at me for? I’ve never intervened in family affairs! Since Young Master Fan needs it, it’s proper for you to hand it over!”
The muscles on the face of the Cao Family Ancestor spasmed violently.
He clearly understood the importance of Prince Jin’s name lists and distribution maps, but with Fan Ye knocking at the door, the Cao Family had no choice.
They could only hand over the lists to save themselves!
“Family Head! Just hand it over, since we’ve pledged our allegiance to Young Master Fan, we should show some sincerity!”
“Exactly! At least for our Cao Family, there won’t be any loss!”
Many core disciples of the Cao Family, who didn’t fully grasp the gravity of the situation, still thought naively that by handing over the list, they could make Prince Jin and Fan Ye fight like dogs, with the Cao Family reaping the profits while remaining in the shadows.
But in reality, could such a thing be possible? For the Cao Family to profit as the bystander—they were thinking too naively!
Ye Fan had been scheming for a long time, and now he took the initiative to come knocking for Prince Jin’s core member list. Once he got the list, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to strike immediately!
Although it appeared that Ye Fan was already dead, the Town Martial Hall, Tianji Pavilion, and core forces like the Guo Family, Wang Family, and others began to be swayed by the Northwest Eight Great Families… But Ye Fan still had another formidable force at his disposal.
That was the combat support from Tiankui Base, ranging from D to S combat power, the secular world’s Supreme Families, Ancient Martial Families, and those Hidden Families, ready to take action at any moment.
Moreover, more importantly, Ye Fan had another card up his sleeve.
That was Tiankui Base’s Points List!
Last time, due to the insufficient number of rune-augmented spirit weapons, as soon as the Tiankui Points List was announced, many Martial Arts Families didn’t have time to apply for missions, and the slots for earning points had already ended.
Back then, Ye Fan had merely tested the waters, gauging the credibility and impact of the Points List, and the influence and outcome were evident!
And now… Ye Fan would undoubtedly employ even more ferocious tactics!
Alas!
Cao Yuan looked at the quarreling core members of the Cao Family behind him, sighed helplessly, and then respectfully took out a yellowed booklet from his person and handed it to Ye Fan, “Young Master Fan! Here is the list of core members of Prince Jin…”
Having no other choice, Cao Yuan could only do so, offering up the core strength of Prince Jin from his own person to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan picked up the booklet and gave it a cursory glance; he could basically ascertain that the names listed were genuine.
The family powers and the affiliated forces listed within, although not the topmost elite… every family was undergirded by a robust force, an elite presence in different regions and domains.
Last time, Ye Fan had used the Tiankui Base Points List to have the Martial Arts Families take action, which although devastated over a hundred of Prince Jin’s strongholds, merely inflicted a heavy blow to Prince Jin’s vital energy.
But looking at this thick list at hand, those hundred or so strongholds were merely a minor part of Prince Jin’s deep-seated resources.
Prince Jin’s years of operation had almost hollowed out the entire Great Xia.
If it hadn’t been for Ye Fan’s intervention, the showdown he’d have with Prince Jin in two weeks, while potentially gaining an advantage in the combat power of the strong, might not have outmatched Prince Jin when it came to foundational resources.
Thank goodness!
This time, Ye Fan, impersonating Fan Ye, had made a trip to the Capital… and had just so happened to capture the head of intelligence under Prince Jin’s command, the Cao Family!
“Very good!” Ye Fan quickly flipped through the list in front of him, allowing the nano camera in his eyes to clearly record all the names, yet he said to Cao Yuan, “You’ve done well! I can promise that as long as you don’t stir up any trouble afterward, I won’t make things difficult for the Cao Family…”
“And one more thing! Do not harass any family or individual associated with the Ye Family!”
Ye Fan said with a wicked smile, and the additional remark caused both Cao Shang and Cao Yuan to freeze in astonishment!
What did this mean?
Not causing trouble, not taking action against the Ling Family, this was understood by people like Cao Yuan, but not harming the people of the Ye Family? What was that about?
Could it be?
Cao Yuan and Cao Shang, being closest to Ye Fan, almost simultaneously thought of a terrifying possibility—could it be that the person in front of them, Fan Ye, was actually that monster?
The corner of Ye Fan’s mouth twitched, his wrist turned, and a ball of fire appeared upon it… the Flame of Inheritance, a virtual signature of Ye Fan!
Within the entire Great Xia, only Ye Fan had such an ability!
“Ah… this… good heavens…”
Upon seeing the flame emerge on Ye Fan’s wrist, Cao Yuan and Cao Shang suddenly made sense of all the previously misunderstood matters!
Indeed!
It was indeed so!
This Ye Fan, what sort of heaven-reaching method had he used to escape from the Northwest and make such a big stir in the Capital?
It’s over!
Prince Jin was surely doomed this time!
Previously, Cao Yuan had worried that after Prince Jin emerged from seclusion, he could stand against “Fan Ye”!
But now, if Fan Ye is Ye Fan, what was there to stand against?
“You now know the truth! If my identity is exposed before I make it public… it will definitely be because the Cao Family betrayed me! I will ensure your entire Cao Family is buried with me, do you understand?”
Although Ye Fan had revealed his identity, his sharp gaze swept across Cao Yuan and Cao Shang, and that soul-piercing burn made both of them involuntarily shudder…
