Chapter 804 - 794: Looking for Teammates
Ye Zhen, disguised as True Person Black Water, struck and killed the leaders of the Sky Horse Gang and the Five Immortals Hall. Among the many consequences of this, one thing caught Ye Zhen by surprise.
It made the upper echelons of the Red Fire Subdivision’s various forces become extremely timid.
In their resting Silent Chambers, not only did they strengthen defenses, but they also directly used Talisman Formations or more advanced and expensive Warning Talismans, almost covering all directions with the Light of the Guardian Talisman.
The reason is simple, the news from the Sky Horse Gang and the Five Immortals Hall, especially the death of the Sky Horse Gang’s Grand Leader Xu Yueshan, was almost a silent assassination in a secret chamber!
Guards were outside the room, the Light of the Guardian Talisman inside was intact, yet the person was dead!
True Person Black Water could sneak in silently, leaving only one possibility — from underground!
This analysis left the high-ranking figures of the Red Fire Martial City’s major forces stunned, prompting them to change their alert strategies.
The most direct consequence was that Ye Zhen accomplished almost nothing over these few days.
The overwhelming pressure of the impending battle five days later made Ye Zhen want to take advantage of these days to quietly strike, to eliminate top figures in either the Longevity Sect or the Heavenly Net Sect, or at the very least, secretly deal with Yun Pochuan and Zhou Muqing, reputed to possess the Secret Technique capable of slaying an Establishment King.
Unfortunately, this series of chain reactions gave Ye Zhen no chance to act. Any forceful action would trigger the various alert restrictions they’ve set up, and Ye Zhen might then face a siege!
Wandering around the Main Hall of the Flying Tiger Hall and the martial artists’ bases of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect for two or three days, Ye Zhen was ultimately compelled to abandon this idea and focus on integrating the newly added forces of the Red Fire Subdivision.
