Chapter 158: Passing Orders
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling sized up the elderly man claiming to be the Wu family butler before nodding indifferently.
He said gravely, "The Wu and Wang families each year pay tribute to our East Alliance, and now that they have been killed, our East Alliance will certainly take action to avenge them!"
As his words fell, a black-clad bodyguard following Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling asked gravely, "Sir, what's the situation inside?"
"Hehe, those who made their move are not weak, at least a Great Grandmaster, and perhaps not just one!"
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling sneered and then continued, "There were sixteen people in the private room, among them, eight were Grandmasters. Out of these eight Grandmasters, besides one, the remaining seven were killed simultaneously."
"Moreover, each was killed with a single strike, without any sign of resistance!"
Hearing this, the eight black-clad bodyguards accompanying Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling all gasped in shock.
Being Grandmasters themselves, they naturally knew how powerful a Grandmaster could be.
Yet, like them, the Grandmasters, except for the first one who died, the remaining seven were all killed instantly at the same moment!
Such a terrifying feat could only be accomplished by a Great Grandmaster!
And to kill seven Grandmasters in an instant at the same time probably meant, as Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling had said, that more than one Great Grandmaster was involved!
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling waved over to Shen Dalin.
Seeing this, Shen Dalin's body trembled, and he immediately ran to the forefront of Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling, speaking respectfully, "May I know what orders you have, Sir?"
"So many people died in your Heavenly Sound Bar, you have an inescapable responsibility at this moment."
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling glanced at him and then continued, "I give you two hours to handle the aftermath; after that, someone will come to take your life."
"If you do not wish to die, you may also try to escape East City within these two hours."
Having said that, Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling left the Heavenly Sound Bar with his men.
Shen Dalin, however, collapsed to the ground like a boneless creature, like a puddle of mud.
In the realm of the East Sea, whom the East Alliance wants dead, will not see tomorrow's sunrise!
What's more, the one wanting Shen Dalin dead was the Alliance Hierarch of the East Alliance!
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling left the Heavenly Sound Bar with his men.
Just before getting into the car, an elderly man suddenly ran towards Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling.
The eight black-clad bodyguards who were consistently following Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling immediately stepped forward, ready to stop the elderly man.
"Stand back! Don't you recognize the steward of our East Alliance anymore?"
Your journey continues at empire
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling said coldly.
Hearing this, the eight bodyguards trembled and immediately stepped aside.
The elderly man glanced at them disapprovingly and then, with a respectful demeanor, said to Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling, "Sir! The whereabouts of those people have been cleared up!"
"At this moment, they have returned to the East City Hotel; do you intend to head directly there to settle accounts with those thieves?"
Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling chuckled and shook his head, then said, "Were the Eastern Martial Alliance members also present when this happened?"
"Yes, Sir!"
The elderly man immediately nodded and continued, "At that moment, Wang Kaoshan, Zhao Qinghe, and Mo Ling were all present!"
Hearing this, a hint of ominousness flashed in Alliance Hierarch Ye Ling's eyes.
He said coldly, "Hmph! The Eastern Martial Alliance's reach is getting longer and longer!"
"They even dare meddle in our East Alliance's affairs. It looks like it's been too long since we've shown the Eastern Martial Alliance some colors and reminded them of our East Alliance's strength?"
"Go to the East City Hotel, tell those fellows I'll be waiting for them at the Martial Alliance!"
The elderly man said somewhat worriedly, "Sir, those thieves are not weak, and you on your own..."
"Why don't we first inform the Alliance Hierarch about this matter? That way, you, the fourth leader, would not encounter any danger?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, the face of the fourth leader suddenly darkened as a terrifying aura explosively burst forth from him.
He stared coldly at the old man and said in a deep voice, "Are you suggesting that I alone am not a match for those people?"
"No... That's not it... Fourth leader, your martial prowess is unparalleled, and you are now at the peak of a Great Grandmaster. In the entire East Sea, apart from the Alliance Hierarch and the other two, who else could be your opponent…"
the old man said, his voice trembling.
The fourth leader scoffed disdainfully and said, "My elder brothers have not interfered in the affairs of the Eastern Alliance for many years, and there is no need to bother them with this trivial matter!"
"They are but a bunch of ants. I alone am enough to keep them all in the Eastern City!"
With that, the fourth leader got into the car.
The eight black-clad bodyguards also quickly got into the cars, and as the three vehicles quickly drove away, the old man sighed softly, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.
Following that, he also headed to the Eastern City Hotel.
At that moment, within the Eastern City Hotel, Su Rou had already returned to her room to rest, while Ye Ling and the others were gathered in Ye Jiu's room.
"My lord, since we killed so many people from the Wang and Wu families tonight, I am afraid the Eastern Alliance won't sit idly by!"
Wang Tiezhu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Given the Eastern Alliance's influence in the East Sea, they will probably discover what happened at the Heavenly Sound Bar within half an hour, and they will send someone to find us."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, everyone's eyebrows raised.
Chen Dao said coldly, "They are just rabble, a bane to the country and the people. If they dare to come here, I will personally send them all to hell!"
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Just then, a knocking sound suddenly echoed.
Ye Jiu's eyebrows raised as he looked toward Ye Ling.
After Ye Ling nodded, Ye Jiu then got up and opened the door.
Standing outside was an old man, precisely the steward of the Eastern Alliance.
"Who are you?"
Ye Jiu asked the old man standing before him.
The old man bowed slightly with a smile and said, "I am the steward of the Eastern Alliance. I have come under the orders of our fourth leader to inform you of a matter."
"Come in and speak!"
Ye Ling's voice came from inside the room.
Ye Jiu then invited the old man into the room.
Looking at a room full of tall, powerful men, the old man's forehead broke out in fine beads of sweat.
He did not think that this group of people were easy to deal with.
Earlier in the Heavenly Sound Bar, these people had killed so many from the Wang and Wu families at the slightest disagreement. If they harbored murderous intentions against him, what good would being the steward of the Eastern Alliance do?
"I am here to deliver a message; you must not lay a hand on me!"
The old man said, looking warily at Ye Ling and the others.
Chen Dao's eyebrows lifted as he said sternly, "Stop beating around the bush! If you have something to say, say it; if you have something to declare, declare it!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I am here under the orders of our fourth leader of the Eastern Alliance to inform all of you of a matter,"
the old man hurriedly said, then continued, "Our fourth leader of the Eastern Alliance is waiting for you at the Martial Alliance!"
