Chapter 2547 Two Traitors?

Yuan Wuxing's answer made Ye Qing feel very surprised. If the Church has truly nurtured some henchmen like Yuan Wuxing in Huaxia, then how many of these henchmen are there? It's really unexpected that the Church would do such a thing. If their henchmen are numerous enough, it might cause chaos in Huaxia even before the Church makes a move.

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came over, "Yuan Wuxing, how dare you leak the Church's secrets!"

The voice came from the group at the entrance where there was a scuffle, and the speaker was the man who was next to Third Brother just now. This man originally intended to chase Yelu Changfeng, but to his surprise, Yuan Wuxing had his legs broken by Ye Qing. He knew he wasn't a match for Yelu Changfeng, so he didn't dare to pursue further, hurried back to find Yuan Wuxing, and happened to hear Yuan Wuxing telling these matters to Ye Qing.

Upon hearing this man's words, Yuan Wuxing's face turned ashen immediately. He hurriedly retreated some steps and nervously said, "Big Brother Hou, save me, I didn't mean to spill secrets!"

Seeing Yuan Wuxing trying to escape, Ye Qing's face turned cold and he instantly pressed the dagger in his hand down. Yuan Wuxing struggled immediately but with both his legs broken, he was losing too much blood and exhausting his strength quickly, unable to resist Ye Qing, who stabbed him in the heart. His legs kicked a few times and he finally stopped breathing.

Big Brother Hou wanted to come to his rescue but it was too late. Seeing Ye Qing had killed Yuan Wuxing, he was also stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen the clash between Ye Qing and Yuan Wuxing just now, so he didn't know how Ye Qing managed to kill Yuan Wuxing. Furthermore, Yuan Wuxing's strength was really not much different from his own. If Yuan Wuxing couldn't be Ye Qing's match, then he surely wasn't either. So, after looking at Ye Qing a few times, he was visibly anxious, not daring to advance for a confrontation with Ye Qing.

Noticing Big Brother Hou's jitters, Ye Qing tightened his grip on the dagger and picked up the scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao nearby, suddenly charging towards Big Brother Hou with large strides. This posture made it seem like he was going to hack Big Brother Hou.

Big Brother Hou was already very anxious inside; seeing Ye Qing charging over, he suddenly jumped and quickly sidestepped to avoid, not daring to face Ye Qing head-on. However, Ye Qing had no intention of engaging him directly, rushing past him and immediately dashed off towards the direction where Yelu Changfeng had escaped.

Watching Ye Qing move away, Big Brother Hou couldn't help but feel puzzled. Having seen Ye Qing kill Yuan Wuxing, he originally thought Ye Qing's strength was certainly formidable. But Ye Qing's running speed appeared very ordinary, not even looking like someone who practiced martial arts. What could this mean?

He couldn't possibly have imagined that Ye Qing's true strength was quite average. Yuan Wuxing died by Ye Qing's hands because he underestimated Ye Qing's physical resilience and insisted on close combat, leading to Ye Qing seizing the opportunity to break one of his legs, repeatedly getting the upper hand afterward. In essence, Ye Qing's ability to kill Yuan Wuxing was largely due to taking him by surprise. If Yuan Wuxing hadn't approached him and only fought him from a distance, Ye Qing would certainly not have found an opening, much less killed Yuan Wuxing.

And Big Brother Hou was completely unaware of these things. Despite his doubts about Ye Qing's strength, Yuan Wuxing's death still left him in fear, making him not dare to confront Ye Qing. These people had all had weak skills previously and were forcefully nurtured into peak masters by the Church. They fell short compared to those famous peak masters in Huaxia, who developed their skills step by step. In battles, regardless of the opponent's strength, at least they could remain fearless. Yuan Wuxing and his batch, although having peak master level strength, lacked the determination of peak masters, resulting in Ye Qing benefiting greatly from that deficiency.

Ye Qing swiftly ran out of the battleground, heading directly to where Yelu Changfeng was just now. After running for about five minutes, he saw a car driving towards him from a distance, with Yelu Ying at the wheel and Yelu Changfeng sitting in the rear.

Yelu Ying parked the car beside Ye Qing and opened the door urgently, "Ye, here!"

Ye Qing quickly jumped into the car, observing Yelu Changfeng sitting at the back while Third Brother lay beside him motionless. Presumably, his acupoints had been pressed by Yelu Changfeng, that's why he was now panting heavily.

After rescuing Ye Qing, Yelu Ying promptly turned to Yelu Changfeng anxiously, "What do we do now?"

"You can't escape!" Third Brother gasped hoarsely, laughing wildly, "Church's masters have surrounded this place. No matter which way you run, the outcome is the same; you simply can't get out!"

Yelu Changfeng furrowed his brows tightly, suddenly pointing to the other side of Alagu Mountain, "Drive over there!"

"But isn't that a mountain?" Yelu Ying wondered.

"I know, just drive over there!" Yelu Changfeng said solemnly.

Yelu Ying had no idea what Yelu Changfeng meant exactly but still followed his advice. Turning the car, she headed in that direction.

Yelu Changfeng took a deep breath and grabbed Third Brother, pressing him down on the back seat.

"Third Brother, you are a member of the Yelu family's main lineage. Why do you betray the Yelu family?" Yelu Changfeng looked at Yelu Ying and said in a deep voice, "She is your grandniece, and you even brought the people from the Church to take her away. Is this something a human would do?"

"Yelu Changfeng, don't talk nonsense with me!" After being captured, Third Brother's expression became even more ferocious. He gritted his teeth, staring at Yelu Changfeng, "You talk about me? How dare you talk about me? Didn't you also betray the Yelu family in the past? You even became a protector of Koga-ryu. Compared to you, what is my betrayal?"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Ying was taken aback. She wasn't aware of these things. She glanced at Yelu Changfeng in astonishment, while Ye Qing hurriedly waved his hand at her, signaling her not to worry. Ye Qing had learned about these things earlier, and he understood that if Yelu Changfeng truly had ulterior motives, he wouldn't have saved Yelu Ying. So, there was no need to worry about Yelu Changfeng now.

"That was different!" Yelu Changfeng said solemnly, "At that time, I just wanted to obtain the cultivation technique of Koga-ryu to better protect the ancestral tomb of Yelu family. I only pretended to betray the Yelu family!"

Upon hearing this, it suddenly dawned on Ye Qing. No wonder that man in black earlier stated that Yelu Changfeng was a protector of Koga-ryu; so that's how it was. It seemed that the Koga-ryu people were trying to win over certain members of the Tomb Guardian clan within the Yelu family to work for them. And Yelu Changfeng seized that opportunity, pretended to align with Koga-ryu, and obtained their cultivation technique before defecting. He had no intention of betraying the Yelu family. With this understanding, Ye Qing finally realized where Yelu Changfeng got his skills from; it must have been from the Koga-ryu's cultivation techniques that made him a Peak Master!

"Pretending not to betray and actually betraying? Bah!" Third Brother spat, cursing, "Yelu Changfeng, if it wasn't for your betrayal of the Yelu family to Koga-ryu, how would Koga-ryu have known the location of our ancestral tomb? Because of your mistake, they almost opened our ancestral tomb. How dare you say you pretended to betray?"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Changfeng's expression was somewhat embarrassed. He sighed and said, "That was my mistake. To gain Koga-ryu's trust, I had to exchange some secrets with them. However, they only knew the location of the tomb and couldn't open it. I never expected that they... they would capture the Family Head to open the tomb!"

"What?" Yelu Ying exclaimed again, turning her head sharply to look at Yelu Changfeng, "What... what Family Head? Which Family Head?"

"Hahaha, my dear grandniece, you still don't know!" Third Brother laughed heartily, "Do you know how your grandfather, my big brother, really died?"

"How... how did he die?" Yelu Ying's voice trembled. She never knew the details of the incident, only that her grandfather disappeared. To the Yelu family, it was always an unsolved case, and they always assumed the Wanyan Family took him. But now it seems that the truth might be different. Could her grandfather's death be connected to Yelu Changfeng too?

"Do you want to know? Then ask this loyal Clan Leader of the Tomb Guardian clan!" Third Brother laughed maniacally, "The one who knows best how your grandfather died is Yelu Changfeng. Do you know why he won't let you go near the ancestral tomb? Because your grandfather's bones are outside the tomb!"

Hearing this, Yelu Ying's body shook violently, nearly losing control of the steering wheel.

Ye Qing quickly took the wheel, letting Yelu Ying sit at the back for a moment while he drove.

Yelu Ying moved to the side, took a few deep breaths, then turned to look at Yelu Changfeng with his head down, and said trembling, "Grandpa Changfeng, what exactly... what exactly happened?"

Yelu Changfeng's face was somber. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, your... your grandfather's matter, I... I have to bear most of the responsibility!"

"What do you mean by most of the responsibility?" Third Brother shouted, "Big Brother died at your hands, is that most of the responsibility? You should take all the responsibility!"

"What?" Yelu Ying exclaimed again, looking at Third Brother and Yelu Changfeng with shock, leaving her utterly bewildered.

Ye Qing, driving up front, also paused. Earlier, he thought Yelu Changfeng was truly loyal to the family. But now these revelations confused him. How did Yelu Ying's grandfather die by Yelu Changfeng's hand? What on earth happened?

"Is... is he telling the truth?" Yelu Ying's body trembled, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Yelu Changfeng.
