Novel Full Chapter 1374: Li Ming Surrenders!
“Are you done yet?”
Right now Yiji was anxiously trying to figure out what the hell the Du Family and the Song Family were playing at, and this unfamiliar number of Qin Yang’s Memory Stone—he really, really didn’t want to bother with it!
Pfft!
In his agitation, Yiji squeezed a little too hard, and directly crushed Qin Yang’s Memory Stone on the spot!
“Move, come into the stronghold with me and take a look… stay alert to any movement around us. The moment something feels off, we pull out immediately!”
As the chief steward of the Outer Realm Evil Demons, Yiji’s own strength was indeed nothing to scoff at!
Even though he hadn’t actually entered the stronghold yet, he could vaguely sense that something was wrong.
Ye Fan and Chu Ran exchanged a look, then quickly followed in Yiji’s footsteps!
Luckily Ye Fan had arranged his setup on Yiji in advance, causing Yiji’s own perception to malfunction!
Otherwise, with Ye Fan and Chu Ran approaching Yiji at such close range, Yiji would have already sensed the abnormality on the two of them!
…
“Out of service? Powered off?”
On the other side, after Li Ming dialed Qin Yang’s Memory Stone several times in a row, all he got was a dead tone!
An ominous feeling was already rising in Li Ming’s heart!
Could it be that this big shot Yiji has already been killed just like that?
Damn it!
“Quick, switch someone else to call! Keep dialing Manager Qin Hao’s Memory Stone!”
Li Ming was starting to feel jittery!
With that uneasy mood, fortunately, Manager Qin Hao’s Memory Stone finally connected. Li Ming didn’t care about his image at all and immediately rushed to explain the situation on his side. “Manager Qin Hao, my people discovered someone who looks exactly like me appearing near the stronghold. You all must be careful…”
Li Ming rambled on for quite a while, but on the other end of the Memory Stone everything was utterly calm, with practically no response!
Li Ming started to feel puzzled. “Manager Qin, are you listening?”
On the other side of the Memory Stone, it was naturally Ye Fan impersonating Qin Hao. Hearing Li Ming’s question, he spoke lightly, “Are you finished?”
“Uh… yeah, I’m finished…”
As Li Ming responded, he suddenly felt that this voice sounded especially familiar?
“If you’re done, I’m hanging up. I’ve got it. Maybe your brother’s eyes were just playing tricks on him…”
Ye Fan let out a devilish smile. That indifferent tone made Li Ming’s heart suddenly clench violently!
Something’s off!
Extremely off!
There’s something wrong with this Manager Qin Hao. The key point was that voice—Li Ming knew it far too well!
Who was it?
Li Ming rapidly searched through his memory, and the answer almost burst out on its own…
“Ye Fan! Holy shit, it’s Ye Fan… you’re not Qin Hao, you’re Ye Fan…”
Hiss!
Once he figured out the crucial truth behind it all, Li Ming completely roared out, and in his heart he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air!
Damn it!
The most trusted Manager Qin Hao by Qin Yang’s side had actually had his body taken over and been replaced by Ye Fan?
What’s the point of playing anymore?
Li Ming also knew that the Outer Realm Evil Demon inside Qin Hao’s body was one of Yiji’s trusted aides!
Meaning, Yiji’s capable right-hand man had already been controlled by Ye Fan… and Ye Fan was this close to Yiji!
If, at a critical moment, he did something to big shot Yiji, who could withstand that?
It’s over!
This time big shot Yiji was probably in real trouble!
That was Li Ming’s first reaction!
“Heh! Seems Young Master Li isn’t completely stupid yet… you’re right, it’s me! But think about it, Young Master Li—if you try to tell anyone, will anyone believe you? Or rather, will you even have the time?”
Everything was under Ye Fan’s control. He rather smugly barked at Li Ming!
In Youzhou City, most of the forces under Yiji’s command had already been mobilized by Ye Fan using public rumors, gathering them outside the city to block that so-called underground tunnel exit that might not even exist.
As for the remaining strongholds, Yiji had already spread his legitimate line of Outer Realm Evil Demon troops out; right now, there wasn’t a single subordinate at Yiji’s side!
As long as Yiji entered the next stronghold, it would be certain death!
“I… Ye Fan, you really are ruthless… I…”
Over the Memory Stone, Li Ming was completely depressed, completely in despair!
In the Sunset Forest, Li Ming had not been Ye Fan’s match!
Originally his plan in Youzhou City was to team up with Qin Yang to screw Ye Fan one more time, but in the end, even though Qin Yang had found Outer Realm Evil Demons to cooperate with, the final result was still this tragically miserable!
Ye Fan had already infiltrated Qin Yang’s side, and they hadn’t noticed a thing!
So Li Ming only thought for one second before immediately making up his mind. “Young Master Ye… if I surrender to you now, is it still in time? I represent the Eight Great Families… we all surrender to you, no matter whether you use contracts or any other method, we’ll completely accept it!”
Li Ming wasn’t saying this on a sudden impulse; it was his genuine thought!
If you can’t beat him, join him!
After so many trials, Li Ming had finally verified one fact: as the inheritor of the Starry Sky Emperor, a small little Immortal Domain couldn’t possibly restrain Ye Fan.
What’s more, Ye Fan had already risen to this point, even opening the Starry Sky Emperor’s Secret Realm Space and obtaining countless treasures and resources. Even if all the top big shots of the Three Thousand Worlds came, they might not be Ye Fan’s match!
In that case, all their efforts would just be sending themselves to their deaths!
Li Ming just wanted to lead the Eight Great Families to survive!
“Oh? Is that so?”
Through the Memory Stone, Ye Fan actually held Li Ming’s decision in higher regard!
This Li Ming actually had such guts?
He had only faked being Qin Hao for a bit, and Li Ming directly went straight to surrender?
But thinking back to all their previous experiences, Ye Fan felt it was understandable!
“I can give you all a chance, but the specifics will depend on how you perform… right now you’re going to do this…”
Ye Fan quickly laid things out for Li Ming!
The sudden defection of Li Ming and the Eight Great Families meant, for Ye Fan, that he could naturally avoid another bloody battle!
Moreover, Li Ming and the Eight Great Families behind him had a wildly fierce influence in the Immortal Domain, enough to create a large-scale domino effect!
Since Li Ming had the desire to defect, then give them a chance!
Perhaps it could have an unexpected effect?
After finishing his call with Ye Fan, Li Ming hung up the Memory Stone and spoke in a deep voice to the other members of the Eight Great Families within the stronghold, “Pass the word down—have all experts of the Eight Great Families pull back from every stronghold, disperse and go to ground… rally all the Immortal Domain experts…”
Following Ye Fan’s arrangements, Li Ming rapidly withdrew all members of the Eight Great Families and then began executing Ye Fan’s plan!
…
Meanwhile, outside the gate of Stronghold No. 30, Yiji looked at Ye Fan with some suspicion. “Whose call was that, and why did it take you so long to answer?”
Ye Fan calmly replied, “Nothing much! A friend… wants us to give him a chance to join the ambush formation and get a share of the spoils…”
“Oh!”
Yiji just gave a perfunctory response, then lost all interest!
In the Immortal Domain World, that kind of give-and-take social dealing was what he hated the most!
“Charge in!”
Yiji called out to the two of them, then stepped through the stronghold gate, and when he saw the situation inside, he was instantly dumbfounded…
