Ye Qing was able to alleviate this person's pain and put him into a deep sleep, which had already shocked the remaining five people. Therefore, they now absolutely believed what Ye Qing said. When Ye Qing suggested, they naturally had no objections and agreed to follow Ye Qing back to Shenchuan City. Furthermore, the way they looked at Ye Qing was filled with gratitude and admiration, and they now completely regarded Ye Qing as their savior.

In fact, this was indeed the case, when they were captured earlier, Ye Qing could have killed them at any time. But now, not only did Ye Qing not kill them, he was even helping them remove the Heart-devouring Bug from their bodies, treating them exceptionally well, so it was perfectly normal for them to feel grateful towards Ye Qing.

Seeing such a situation, the Sha Men members didn't say anything. As long as these few people no longer returned to Wang Tian'an to work for him, they didn't necessarily have to kill these men. For the Sha Men members, their true enemy was only Wang Tian'an!

"So, there's nothing else to do now, right?" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan said: "Little Leaf, let's head back to the city first."

Ye Qing nodded, since there were matters for the Sha Men members to deal with back in the city, Ye Qing didn't hold them back and let Black Bear see them off. Ye Qing stayed behind, had Wang Tian'an's men untied, retrieved some burn ointment for their injuries, and then started to prepare to return to the downtown area.

At the same time, in the villa of the Chen Family Siblings, Aomuhan was angrily sitting on the sofa. He had received news that Chen San and Ye Qing's alliance had been solidified. This meant that what he had hoped for did not happen; Chen San was finally going to join hands with Ye Qing to deal with Wang Tian'an, instead of driving Ye Qing out of Shenchuan City.

The more the Chen Family Siblings respected Ye Qing, the angrier Aomuhan felt in his heart towards Ye Qing. However, as angry as he was, since Chen San had joined up with Ye Qing, he could not change Chen San's mind and could only sit there and sulk on the sofa.

Just as he sat brooding in silence, a panicked subordinate ran through the door and immediately exclaimed upon entering: "Young master, something's happened!"

"What happened?" Aomuhan abruptly stood up, anxiously asking, "Did something happen to Third Brother and the others?"

"No," the subordinate shook his head and said: "It's Wang Tian'an's side, we just discovered that Xu Cunxiao had already left Wang Tian'an's place long ago. Moreover, more than twenty skilled men have gone missing with him. We suspect he's definitely taken people out to do something!"

"Do what?" Aomuhan immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Where did Third Brother and the others go?"

The subordinate said, "They are almost inside the yard."

"Oh?" Aomuhan immediately relaxed his brows and said, "So Xu Cunxiao didn't go to attack Third Brother and the others."

"Young master, I suspect Xu Cunxiao might have gone to ambush Ye Qing and his group. According to the information I received, Sha Men's people have already returned to the downtown area ahead of schedule, and Ye Qing is only now bringing people back to the downtown area. Ye Qing currently has very few people with him, if Xu Cunxiao really ambushed him, then Ye Qing is really in danger this time!" The subordinate looked at Aomuhan and said, "Young master, since Third Brother has already joined hands with Ye Qing, should we send people over to help Ye Qing? Otherwise, he might get ambushed!"

Aomuhan's expression turned cold and he immediately waved his hand saying, "No need!"

"No need?" The subordinate was stunned, looking puzzled at Aomuhan and said: "Young master, if we don't tell Ye Qing, then… then Ye Qing might really be doomed!"

"That would be great!" Aomuhan coldly smiled and said: "I've long been displeased by this Ye surname, a mere jumping clown. Third Brother and Fourth Sister take him too seriously. Humph, if we cooperate with this person, are we supposed to hand over the territory of Shenchuan City to him in the future? What qualifications does he have to take over the land of Shenchuan City? He can't help much in dealing with Wang Tian'an anyway. In my opinion, it's better if this kind of person dies, so we won't have to protect him later and have him drag us down!"

The subordinate stared at Aomuhan in shock, not expecting Aomuhan to think this way, and awkwardly said, "But young master, he… he has teamed up with Third Brother. If we don't help him, and Third Brother finds out about this…"

"Then just don't let him know!" Aomuhan glared, angrily saying, "Just pretend this never happened. If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would Third Brother find out?"

The subordinate scratched his head, still wanting to speak, but Aomuhan suddenly slammed his hand on the table, sternly saying, "What? Are my words meaningless now?"

The subordinate shivered with fright and hurriedly said, "I... I understand, young master, I... I understand..."

"Good!" Aomuhan nodded in satisfaction, a hint of a cold smile passing over his face as he said, "Humph, Mr. Ye, I'll see how you die tonight!"

Little Ye looked at Aomuhan's expression and dared not say a word, only lowering his head to walk out. Just as he reached the door, it was pushed open, and both Chen San and Chen Si walked in.

Seeing Chen San, Little Ye felt intimidated, his body shivering, almost falling to the ground.

"What happened?" Chen San looked at him puzzled, finding Little Ye's disoriented appearance quite strange.

Noticing Chen San and Chen Si's arrival, Aomuhan was startled, but soon regained his composure, stood up with a smile, and asked, "Third Brother, how did the negotiation about the alliance go?"

Hearing Aomuhan's question, Chen San's attention shifted, and he smiled, "It went well. Ye Qing is quite capable. Joining forces with him will definitely be a great help to us!"

This response made Aomuhan rather displeased, but he said nothing, only discreetly waved his hand to the younger brother urging him to leave quickly.

The young man, trembling with fright, dared not linger in the room any longer and hurriedly slipped out of the room.

Chen San did not notice these details, sat down beside the sofa, and asked, "Any news about Xu Cunxiao and his people?"

"No news yet," said Aomuhan. "I suspect Xu Cunxiao's people are not going to make a move tonight. With it being so late and still no news, they might have been punished by Wang Tian'an yesterday and confined today!"

Chen San nodded and said, "It seems so. At this time, if they don't act now, it will be too late. Muh Han, assign more people to keep a close watch on Wang Tian'an. He took a big loss tonight and definitely won't let it go. Particularly, watch out if he sends someone to ambush Ye Qing. Little sister, you take charge of Ye Qing's security and provide immediate support if he's in danger!"

"Yes," Chen Si responded immediately.

Aomuhan felt reluctant, but thinking of Xu Cunxiao leading an ambush against Ye Qing, he felt a surge of schadenfreude. He didn't say anything, merely nodding in agreement, yet his mind continued to envision scenarios of Ye Qing being killed.

Of course, Chen San and Chen Si had no idea what was truly on Aomuhan's mind. Leaning back on the sofa, Chen San started to recall the events of the night. He was still shaken, not expecting Ye Qing's methods to be so thorough. Fortunately, he hadn't acted against Ye Qing himself, otherwise, even if he managed to drive Ye Qing out of Shenchuan City, he would have suffered significant losses. Now, having Ye Qing as an ally was the best outcome. With Ye Qing's help, dealing with Wang Tian'an would definitely be easier!

Chen San had made up his mind—once the Wang Tian'an situation was resolved, he would withdraw from Shenchuan City. Although Helian Tiehua was moving into the Southern Six Provinces, he decided to cede the territory of Shenchuan City to Ye Qing as a way to repay him.

Chen Si wasn't thinking as deeply; she was just happy. Her brother and Ye Qing forming an alliance was what she most wanted to see. Now that it was happening, she had no more worries.

Inside the room, the person with the most thoughts was naturally Aomuhan. Seeing the expressions of Chen San and Chen Si, who were both quite satisfied with Ye Qing, only fueled his anger. However, thinking that Ye Qing was about to be intercepted by Xu Cunxiao's men, he suddenly felt exhilarated. As long as Ye Qing died, everything would be resolved—this was what he most hoped to see!

But, could Ye Qing really be so easily ambushed?

Meanwhile, having packed up, Ye Qing immediately proceeded with Black Bear Mad Dog and others toward the downtown area. Their party totaled fifteen, including Wang Tian'an's six men—less than twenty people in four vehicles, traveling under cover of night toward the downtown area. The rest stayed back at the hotel to handle the aftermath, including burying over forty bodies.

Now, Ye Qing was seriously understaffed, especially since he was the only one skilled in martial arts, making the situation even more challenging. If they were ambushed now, it would be troublesome.

As the saying goes, what you fear the most is likely to happen. Similarly for Ye Qing, just three kilometers away from the downtown area, there was a mountain pass. Tiny hills on both sides, with a road in between. The road was not wide, squeezed by these two small hills, essentially making it a four-lane road.

As Ye Qing's vehicles crossed between these two small hills, a large truck charged directly towards them. The driver suddenly swerved, positioning the truck across the road, blocking Ye Qing's vehicles from passing.

Simultaneously, another vehicle came from behind, effectively sealing the road. Now trapped between the two vehicles, Ye Qing's four cars couldn't move forward or back, stranded in the middle of the road. Moreover, the roadsides were blocked by two small hills, making it impossible for vehicles to pass and even climbing up them was not easy, thus completely trapping them in the middle.
