Novel Full Chapter 741 - 741: Destruction Often Starts from Within!
“But how do we notify Young Master Ye?”
Zhang Yu was still puzzled when Prince Jin spoke again, “Keep it confidential! This list is my last resort… If this last resort is gone, your prince will utterly become a puppet of the Soul Hall, alas…”
Although he had sacrificed his own soul, Prince Jin truly did not wish to completely submit to the Soul Hall!
“Yes!”
A sudden thump echoed in Zhang Yu’s heart, and he glanced at Prince Jin somewhat guiltily!
Was his plan of action too reckless this time? Had it aroused Prince Jin’s suspicion?
So how should he deliver this list?
Although Zhang Yu knew that Ye Fan was currently impersonating Fan Ye at the Ling Family, Zhang Yu could hardly send someone to notify Ye Fan, let alone through a phone call…
If these methods were not feasible, there was only one left!
Should he let the Top Ten Martial Emperor Experts see the list?
Young Master Ye had mentioned that their field of vision was shared with Young Master Ye; thus, the members of Hunting Squad 2 were Young Master Ye’s eyes.
Moreover, by shifting the responsibility to Hunting Squad 2, Zhang Yu would also attract less suspicion.
“For safety’s sake, I’ll have the members of Hunting Squad 2 pass on the message,” Zhang Yu tentatively asked Prince Jin for his opinion. Since Hunting Squad 2 was created by the Scorching Sun Emissary for Prince Jin, he should trust them more.
“That’s fine.”
Hearing Prince Jin’s agreement, Zhang Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief!
After taking leave from Prince Jin, he quickly found the members of Hunting Squad 2 and handed the list given by Prince Jin to one of the members, “Look carefully, this is the list His Highness demanded to notify, you’ll split up to notify later!”
Zhang Yu intentionally displayed the list to all members of Hunting Squad 2 under the surveillance camera!
This member of Hunting Squad 2 was currently obedient to Zhang Yu and Prince Jin’s orders, but Zhang Yu clearly understood, not knowing by what means Ye Fan had used, merely by shaking hands during their meeting with Fang Chengshan, he had made all members submit to Ye Fan, completely obeying Ye Fan’s commands!
All these military expert figures placed by Ye Fan were lurking bombs around Prince Jin!
Although when confronting Prince Jin later, these Martial Emperor Strong figures might not be of great use, their sudden actions would certainly cause significant losses to the Direct Lineage Troops around Prince Jin, and the ensuing chaos would have a deeper impact.
The key was that Zhang Yu was now unclear whether there were more members like Hunting Squad 2 around Prince Jin, whether Ye Fan had planted more powerful experts lurking around Prince Jin?
The more he thought, the more terrifying Zhang Yu found it!
Especially after Ye Fan’s feigned death this time, all those hostile organizations had begun to let their guard down, truly believing that Ye Fan was dead and had lowered their vigilance!
As Fan Ye, Ye Fan in the Capital planned to stir up how much trouble!
Alas!
In an instant, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that Ye Fan was invincible, seemingly omnipresent. Zhang Yu was very thankful that he had latched onto the winning side early!
Zhang Yu was still feeling frustrated when suddenly a piece of intelligence came from the Northwest direction, “Secretary Zhang, from the Northwest, the Eight Great Families reported… they have reached a preliminary agreement with the forces under Ye Fan! It’s just that a few key figures, Elder Pang from Tianji Pavilion, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and others, are asking for quite a lot—numerous Elixir Pills and Martial Arts Techniques… and they also want Prince Jin to hand over the culprit behind the planned explosion in the Northwest. What should we do?”
“Agree to them, the price we pay is too great! But if we don’t agree to them, those forces under Ye Fan, if they band together against Prince Jin, will always be a disaster!”
The ones reporting to Zhang Yu were other members of the secretariat!
Zhang Yu’s mouth twitched, and his first thoughts went back to his time in Guangcheng, when the former Secretary Pan Shi, in his attempts to rope in the Four Great Families at the Tiankui Base, had also agreed to Pan Shi’s plan, gathering a large amount of resources from Pan Shi, virtually emptying Prince Jin’s resource vault in the Southwest.
At that time, Zhang Yu had mocked Pan Shi for being too stupid, but now… Ye Fan’s feigned death and the routine he had planned in the Northwest direction, was actually the same!
Since Ye Fan was not dead, then all the surrenders and subjugations in the Northwest were definitely fake!
Alas!
But now Zhang Yu was Ye Fan’s man; knowing full well that this was a trap Ye Fan had set for Prince Jin, Zhang Yu had to jump in proactively and even help cover for it!
“Let’s agree to them at all costs for now! Winning over those forces under Ye Fan will definitely be beneficial for Prince Jin’s greater plans in the future, this way at least we have no worries!”
Zhang Yu said earnestly, and the other members of the secretariat also quietly nodded their heads.
They naturally knew what Prince Jin’s greater plan was!
It was nothing less than seizing the state!
Starting with targeting the Ye Family, aside from attempting to seize the hidden Immortal Palace Map of the Ye Family, the greater aim was naturally to eliminate the threat of the Ye Family, allowing Prince Jin to eventually take complete control of the royal family and kick Ji Yuchen out.
“But… if we agree to Guo Li and Wang Fugui, Prince Jin’s secret warehouse in the Northwest will be almost emptied! And Elder Du, the planner of the action plan, and Elder Xiang, who are the biological brothers of the Du Family Patriarch and the Xiang Family Patriarch, if we hand over the culprits… it might dishearten these two families and also cause dissatisfaction among the other families…”
“Should we report this to Prince Jin before making a decision?”
Dissatisfaction?
Zhang Yu scoffed internally, that was exactly the effect he wanted!
“I just came out from the underground chamber; Prince Jin is at a critical phase of his breakthrough. We shouldn’t bother His Highness with these trifling matters! If you aren’t afraid of death, why don’t you go and try?” Zhang Yu looked coldly at the other secretariat members.
“No! No need!” Those members shook their heads like bobbleheads, “Let’s follow Secretary Zhang’s orders!”
What a joke!
Ever since Prince Jin had undergone the Soul Sacrifice at the Soul Hall, he had changed, hiding in the underground chamber, continuously devouring living souls… Just a few days ago, one of Prince Jin’s close direct lineage men, complaining about not seeing Prince Jin, had rashly rushed into the underground chamber and happened to encounter Prince Jin practicing his skills, reportedly being drained into a skeleton right then and there!
Under such terrifying circumstances, how could these secretariat members be willing to trigger bad luck?
“Order in the name of Prince Jin! The Du Family and the Xiang Family from the Eight Great Families in the Northwest must hand over the culprits within 12 hours… the Eight Great Families must accept all conditions from Guo Li and Wang Fugui immediately, and pay everything upfront, trying to bring all forces under Ye Fan over as quickly as possible… the faster, the better…”
Zhang Yu issued a series of orders and could not help but let out a long, relieved sigh!
Prince Jin was originally no match for Ye Fan, and the mine Ye Fan had planted near Prince Jin was only accelerating Prince Jin’s downfall…
