Chapter 388: A Grand Gift to the Prince!
Prince Jin had his assistant's ears sawed off, resulting in blood splattered all over the ground!
Looking at the two twitching muscles that were once ears on the table, Prince Jin's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot, "Get lost!"
Prince Jin stretched his bloody finger into his mouth and sucked on it before he then picked up a cloth to wipe his hands clean.
A bunch of idiots!
He sent them to assassinate someone, and they couldn't even kill him.
Now Wuyou is in Ye Fan's hands, and Laotzu is really goddamn uncomfortable!
Prince Jin had a child late in his life, only this one son whom he loved dearly, but the issue was that his son was not so bright and always believed he was a great commander of this world.
And now... well...
However, Prince Jin's moment of sorrow was brief, and after a moment, his face returned to its usual coldness.
Hmph!
Since you are my son and have been captured, if as your father I can't alleviate your suffering soon, then the pain you ought to bear, you will bear it yourself.
When you die, I'll make sure to burn you more paper money!
"Prince Jin, the Scorching Sun Emissary requests an audience, saying there is an important matter to discuss!" The guard at the door didn't dare to come close, reporting from a distance to Prince Jin.
Prince Jin's facial muscles twitched twice as a profound look flickered in his eyes, "Arrange for him to go to the hall, I'll be there shortly!"
Now, the two disciples of the Immortal hadn't made their move yet, and were already under Ye Fan's control. With the Immortal still some time away from leaving his seclusion, Prince Jin's own power was starting to be insufficient against Ye Fan.
Perhaps the Scorching Sun Emissary had another way!
...
In the hall, Prince Jin and the Scorching Sun Emissary sat opposite each other. The Emissary's face still rippled with a faint luminance, concealing his actual features, making it impossible to see his true face.
"Your Highness, regarding the matter of the Little Prince, I have already heard about it! But Your Highness need not worry too much, as long as the Little Prince's body is intact, we have ways to bring him back to life..."
With just one sentence, the Scorching Sun Emissary had revitalized Prince Jin's spirits, "There is such a method?"
"Of course, I would never deceive Your Highness!" A smug smile appeared on the Scorching Sun Emissary's face, "I came today because I heard that Ye Fan is about to travel south to Guangcheng... If my guess is correct, besides investigating the truth behind his third brother Ye Lingyu's death, he is probably targeting the industry left by his mother..."
The words of the Scorching Sun Emissary caused Prince Jin's mouth to twitch several times.
Ye Fan's mother had assets in Guangcheng?
Just who exactly is Ye Fan?
Prince Jin felt like he was caught in a curse; the more he fought Ye Fan, the stronger Ye Fan seemed to become.
"Your Highness may not know, but Ye Fan's mother left behind a Runic weapon production base in Guangcheng! This base is not very famous in the Secular World, but it specializes in providing high-end Ancient Martial Families with weapons... and those battle sabers, with Rune Power enhancements, are incredibly terrifying..."
"Moreover, because of years of cooperation with Ancient Martial Families, this production base has maintained a strong relationship with many of them! Whoever takes over this base not only gets the secret to manufacturing weapons but also gains powerful connections within the Ancient Martial World!"
"And now, I wish to offer this great gift to Your Highness!"
Being able to obtain the powerful connections of Ancient Martial Families, Prince Jin's heart fiercely stirred.
Those supreme Ancient Martial Families had immense power, especially the elders of their clans, whose formidable strength was enough to sweep across a small country in the Secular World.
They were entities more powerful than the state itself.
Now, in Prince Jin's struggle with Ye Fan, he was already finding it very tough. If he could get such a powerful ally at this time, who lives and who dies was not yet certain.
"What are the Scorching Sun Emissary's conditions for such support to me?" Prince Jin, as one of Great Xia's top leaders, naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Of course! The only condition from this envoy is that Ye Fan must die... and after Ye Fan's death, his body must be handed over to us!"
"Is that all? These are the Holy Envoy's only terms?" Prince Jin looked at the Scorching Sun Emissary with some confusion. The Scorching Sun Emissary, whose strength had clearly reached the Martial Saint level, did not dare to confront Ye Fan personally.
Previously supporting Zhou Ming, and now turning to him, what exactly was the reason?
"This is the only condition! To tell the truth, Prince, it is not that this envoy does not want to deal with Ye Fan personally, but Ye Fan's cultivation technique naturally suppresses mine! Therefore, I can only ask the Prince for assistance!"
Prince Jin nodded, so that was it, the Scorching Sun Emissary turned out to be quite candid.
But instantly, another problem gave Prince Jin a headache, "But the issue now is! I no longer have enough strong fighters to deal with Ye Fan, and... with such a powerful base, if I want to take control, without any proof, I'm afraid they won't listen to my orders, right?"
Clearly, the power behind this production base had completely surpassed Prince Jin's control.
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything has been prepared for you! This is the order for taking over the base, personally written by Ye Fan's mother years ago, authentic and without error. As for manpower... on this occasion, this envoy has also brought another gift for Your Highness, which can help raise 10 Martial Emperor powerhouses..."
As he spoke, the Scorching Sun Emissary took out an order and also ten Elixir Pills!
"These Elixir Pills can instantly raise one's strength to around the level of a Martial Emperor Fourth Rank, and they will completely obey the Prince's command!"
When the Scorching Sun Emissary passed the Elixir Pills to Prince Jin, an almost imperceptible, wicked smile flickered across his lips.
Others might not know, but as long as the Scorching Sun Emissary was aware, these weren't pills for enhancing strength but Insect Eggs... Insect Eggs that could control the human body...
Humph!
The trip to Guangcheng, Ye Fan wants to take over the production base so smoothly, it definitely won't be that easy.
Let Prince Jin and Ye Fan fight a life and death struggle, and meanwhile, the Scorching Sun Emissary will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the base and find a way to counter Ye Fan's suppression!
Once they are no longer afraid of the suppression from Ye Fan's bloodline, then all the Holy Envoys will have the ability to eliminate Ye Fan in an instant!
By that time, all his companions should rise!
...
In Flower Capital, those who made moves against the Su Corporation, Ye Fan cleaned them all up!
The matters that followed went much more smoothly!
Ye Fan had his Four Great Maids watch over the scene while he himself returned to the Ye Family Courtyard.
"Tiankui Base? My mother's legacy, must I take it back?" Standing in the study with his grandfather Ye Changfeng, Ye Fan looked at the takeover order his grandfather handed him, puzzled.
"Just what kind of divine being was my mother?" Before leaving, the pieces of the Immortal Palace map she left with his seven brothers, the Dead Soldiers she left for him underneath the Ye Family's grounds, Marshal Chen Yao of the Town Martial Hall calling her his guide!
And now she even left him Tiankui Base!
"Yes... Your mother said, if you reach the strength of the Martial Emperor level, then you'll be qualified to take over Tiankui Base! This will be a powerful aid on your future path; the Runic Divine Weapons inside the base, as well as the energy and connections behind Tiankui Base, you shouldn't give them up..."
Ye Fan's brows were deeply furrowed, and in his mind, he already had a rough guess!
Tiankui Base must be the first key to accessing the mysterious Divine Gate behind his mother, right?
Now it wasn't a question of whether Ye Fan wanted to or not, whether to avoid it or not!
The Divine Gate's adversaries had already subtly begun to test Ye Fan, and if he didn't respond, they wouldn't hesitate to kill him because of his mother!
"Alright!"
The journey to Guangcheng, aside from investigating the true cause of his third brother's death and finding the Immortal Palace map, now had another arduous task!
"Tiankui Base is currently under the joint control of the Four Great Families from the south, your mother has been missing for so many years, they may not readily relinquish control, so you must plan carefully... perhaps even before you set out, they will have started taking action..."
