When Hu Yang heard Chen Zhou ask this question, his face was full of confusion. He shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
Because Hu Yang knew that both possibilities mentioned by Chen Zhou were possible, so he thought carefully about which of the two possibilities was more likely.
He thought of the recent series of conflicts among the heads of the Ye family. The other branches of the Ye family now hated Ye Feng so much that they would never come to save him.
The second brother, Ye Wu, had his martial arts skills crippled and was expelled from the Ye family. The third brother's tendons and veins were broken and he is still slowly recovering. Ye Long handles all matters of the Ye family as well as matters concerning the general camp.
The probability that it was the Ye family who saved Ye Feng is almost zero.
Apart from the Ye family members who would help rescue Ye Feng, Hu Yang could not think of a second person in Ye City who would be willing to help rescue Ye Feng.
Thinking of this, Hu Yang suddenly had an ominous guess, that is, the person who took Ye Feng away was not actually saving him at all, but had the same purpose as the eldest young master, which was to absorb Ye Feng's huge martial arts essence.
"Two young masters! We have to quickly inform the eldest young master and the old master of this news to avoid any complications that might ruin our next plan!" Hu Yang's eyes lit up. He remembered their plan and reminded Chen Zhou and Chen Tao, but did not express his final thoughts.
After Hu Yang finished speaking, the three of them left the wooden house with light steps.
Ye Feng, who was hiding in the dark, heard their conversation and the next plan that Hu Yang mentioned before he left.
From Hu Yang's words, it seemed that the Chen family's next plan had some connection with himself, so Ye Feng chased after them with a few whooshes.
This time Ye Feng chased them, in addition to finding out their next plan, he also had to find Chen Bing to avenge the severance of his tendons at the Lion's Mouth, and also to find Murong Xiaoxue to clear his name for stealing the tendon-melting pill.
The city lord’s mansion, the Luo family hall.
So in the afternoon, Luo Zheng sent the soul-chaser Luo Cheng to the direction of Shizikou half an hour ago, because several hours had passed and the two guards had not yet escorted Ye Feng back.
Although it would not be excessive even if Ye Feng was killed, Luo Zheng still wanted to use Ye Feng's crime of stealing the Rongjin Pill to threaten Ye Long to agree to convert the city into a country.
In other words, Ye Feng has become a bargaining chip in Luo Zheng's hands.
Just as Luo Zheng was walking back and forth in the hall anxiously, Luo Hai came hurriedly in front of Luo Zheng from outside.
"Hai'er greets his adoptive father!" Luo Hai bowed his head and paid his respects. When he lowered his head, a chill flashed in his eyes.
When Luo Zheng saw Luo Hai coming back, he stopped in front of him and said to him, "Hai'er, everything is done!"
"Reply to godfather! Everything has been done according to godfather's arrangement!"
Just as Luo Hai finished his words, the Soul Chaser Luo Chengxing ran to Luo Zheng with a nervous look on his face.
Luo Cheng looked nervous and frowned as he said, "Master! The two guards who followed me to Shizikou were killed at He'an in Shizikou, and Ye Feng is missing too!"
"What! Is there such a thing? Who is so bold as to kill the guards of my Luo family!" Luo Zheng said angrily.
"Master! I have just checked the cause of their death. They were all killed by a blow from behind! It is obvious that the murderer is a master of martial arts, and is most likely someone from our Yecheng!" Luo Cheng looked deep as he analyzed the cause and effect of the incident.
Luo Hai, who was standing by, also pretended to be surprised and said angrily, "Who on earth has the guts to touch anyone from our Luo family?"
Luo Zheng took a few steps back and forth again, his eyes flashing with coldness as he said, "Could it be that the Ye family rescued Ye Feng? Kill them!"
"Master! I have had this idea before, but I just learned from the Ye family that Ye Feng has not returned to the Ye family at all, and now the Ye family members are looking for him everywhere." After Luo Cheng finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Because Luo Cheng was thinking: Regarding Ye Feng entering the Luo family to steal the Melting Muscle Pill and what happened at Shizikou afterwards, only the old master Luo Zheng, the young master Luo Hai, and himself knew about it. Besides them, only Murong Xiaoxue and Chen Bing and his son knew about it.
This was exactly the strategy that Master Luo Zheng used. After catching Ye Feng red-handed and bringing him to the Luo family, he made Ye Feng's crime of theft public.
But how could other people know such a secret thing
If no one else knew, how could the murder of the two Luo family guards be explained
Because of Ye Feng's sudden disappearance, Luo Zheng had no choice but to stop his plan for the next day. He said with determination: "Luo Cheng, you must find out the truth as soon as possible, find out who killed our Luo family members, and find out the whereabouts of Ye Feng!"
Afterwards, Luo Zheng sighed and left the hall, because not bringing Ye Feng back to the Luo family meant that it was no longer possible to frame him for stealing the Rongjin Pill.
The only way to prevent the plan from being destroyed is to bring Ye Feng back to the Luo family as soon as possible.
Seeing Luo Zheng leave in disappointment, Luo Cheng also left the hall.
Luo Hai was the only one left. He turned his head to look at the hall, a look of fear in his eyes, then turned around and left.
In the Chen family's living room, more than a dozen people sat around a white round table, drinking and eating meat, talking and laughing.
"Master Chen! On behalf of the Yin Yang Fist School, I would like to offer a toast to Master Chen and wish us success!" A sturdy middle-aged man with a dark face and a full beard stood up from his seat first, raised the glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. He was Heiyue, the leader's junior brother of the Yin Yang Fist School, known as the second best master of the Yin Yang Fist School.
The head of the Chen family mentioned by Heiyue is none other than Chen Xiong, the leader of the Chen family in Yecheng and also known as the Master of the Running Cloud Palm.
Chen Xiong was extremely enthusiastic towards Heiyue. He also raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all. Then he said, "To be able to eradicate the Ye family, or even the Luo family, we still need the help of Master Heiyue."
After Heiyue toasted Chen Xiong, he raised his glass and said to Chen Bing with admiration: "Young Master is gifted in martial arts. He has reached the peak of the sixth level in his early twenties. It's incredible! I think Yecheng will belong to Patriarch Chen and Young Master from now on! To celebrate Young Master taking charge of Yecheng as soon as possible, I toast to Young Master!"
Chen Bing just loved to hear such flattery, but after listening to Heiyue's words, he carefully recalled that among the martial artists in Yecheng, there was really no one of his age who was better than him. He then happily picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After drinking it all, Chen Bing said with a smile on his face: "For Chen Bing's affairs, I still have to rely on you seniors?"
"Master, you are too polite! Just because you killed Ye Feng to avenge our Yin Yang Fist Sect, we will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Just when they were enjoying their food, drink and conversation, someone suddenly reported from outside the door!
"Master! There's someone outside the door who wants to see you for something urgent!"
"Urgent!" Chen Bing muttered to himself, thinking: Who else would come to me with something urgent at this time? Could it be him
After thinking about it, Chen Bing left the banquet for the time being and hurried out the door.
The person who said he wanted to see Chen Bing outside the door was a strange young man. When he saw Chen Bing coming out, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Bing, saying, "Master Chen, someone just asked me to give this letter to you!"
Chen Bing took the letter out of curiosity. He recognized who it was from at a glance and turned around and hurried back.
"Young Master Chen! Young Master Chen!" The young man who delivered the letter called out hurriedly when he saw Chen Bing was about to leave.
The Chen family guard at the gate rolled his eyes at him and scolded him, "The letter has been delivered, why aren't you leaving yet?"
The young man said with a frightened look on his face, "The person who asked me to deliver the letter just now said that Master Chen gave me a reward, so I came here!"
"Give him some change and let him go!" Chen Bing said, and prepared to step into the house.
At this moment, he seemed to hear someone calling him, and turned around again.
Then I realized that it was my second and third brothers and Hu Yang who had returned.
"How is it! That trash is dead, right? Guard Huyang, can that trash's blood be used?" When the three of them came in front of him, Chen Bing was the first to ask about Ye Feng's essence and blood.
Chen Bing attached great importance to Ye Feng's blood essence, because if his plan of fighting poison with poison succeeded, he could absorb all the nutrients in Ye Feng's body and make his martial arts level advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the seventh level and breaking through the eighth level.
"Brother! Ye Feng is missing!" The second brother Chen Zhou's face was full of disappointment.
"What! Missing! How is that possible? That place is so secluded, and there are two level three warriors guarding the door?" Chen Bing was shocked when he heard that Ye Feng was missing.
In the Lion's Mouth, he personally severed Ye Feng's tendons and veins, and also took the Soul-Devouring Pill.
How could Ye Feng, whose tendons and veins were broken and whose body was poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Pill, suddenly disappear
Faced with these questions, Chen Bing asked in shock: "Where are the two triple warriors? Why didn't they come back with you? I want to know what happened!"
When Chen Bing asked about the two warriors guarding Ye Feng, Hu Yang was the first to answer with a look of astonishment: "Young Master! They were all killed in one blow, and died in the wooden house!"
"Killed! Killed in one blow!" The more Chen Bing listened, the more confused and surprised he became.
What on earth happened! How could there be another person who knew about the wooden house? How could anyone know that Ye Feng was caught in the wooden house? Who was the mysterious person who could kill a triple-level warrior with one move
Thinking of these doubts, Chen Bing remembered the letter he had just received. He hurriedly took it out, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the letter.
Because he thought that he might get something from this letter that he had just been wondering about.
But when he opened the letter and began to read it, he saw only four words: "Operation Cancelled!"
After reading the letter, Chen Bing was confused: "It's not about Ye Feng! So is Ye Feng dead or alive? And where was he rescued to?"
Faced with a lot of doubts, Chen Bing suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone! Quickly notify the Chen family guards, even if they have to search the entire mountain around the cabin, they must find that bastard!"
Just as Chen Bing finished speaking, a clear voice came from behind them.
"Master Chen! Are you looking for me?"
