Chapter 158 Each with their own ulterior motives
Jiangcheng appeared on the horizon.
The tall city wall was covered with many silvery-white things.
Those were countless cannon barrels.
Wang Wu glanced at it, and his expression changed.
"Second Master, those are the Mechanical Race's 1130 close-in weapon systems. Shanhe Prefecture City also has them, but not this many. Judging from the situation in Jiangcheng, there are at least twenty of them."
Wang Bufan frowned.
Twenty close-in weapon systems, each costing enough to arm an elite division.
Where did Jiangcheng get so much money?
Where did Shanhe Prefecture get so much equipment?
Was it given by that mysterious martial god again?
What exactly is his relationship with Ye Feng?
"This mysterious war god stole a lot of good stuff from the machine race!"
"It seems their relationship with Ye Feng is quite special!"
The flying boat landed outside Jiangcheng city.
The moment Wang Bufan stepped out of the cabin.
He saw someone.
Zhao Gongming.
Lord of Shanhe Prefecture, early stage of Martial God.
Wang Bufan's face darkened.
He had already met Zhao Gongming in Shanhe Prefecture City.
It was agreed that the Wang family would handle Ye Feng's matter themselves, and the Shanhe Prefecture would not interfere.
Zhao Gongming had readily agreed, but now he's appeared in Jiangcheng.
"Zhao Gongming, you've gone too far!"
Wang Bufan's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, and his aura as a mid-stage Martial God suddenly erupted.
"Do you think the Kyoto royal family is someone everyone can bully?"
He was indeed very angry.
The dignified Second Master of the Wang family, a mid-stage Martial God, is treated with utmost respect wherever he goes in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Upon arriving at Shanhe Prefecture, their plans were disrupted by the news that Zhao Gongming had broken through to the Martial God realm.
Now they won't even let people into Jiangcheng?
Zhao Gongming clearly promised not to interfere, but then he turned around and came to Jiangcheng to block the gate. Isn't that going back on his word?
Zhao Gongming remained unmoved.
May the Great Dao bless you!
In their own realm, the God of War is invincible.
Although Wang Bufan was a minor realm higher than him, in a real fight...
Nobody can do anything about it!
"Brother, please calm down." Zhao Gongming cupped his hands in a polite manner.
"Brother Wang has come from afar; I have not yet fulfilled my duty as host."
"Brother Wang came to Jiangcheng to investigate the annihilation of the Mechanical Race's advance team. Coincidentally, Ye Feng is a local, and he is most familiar with the situation there."
"Brother Wang, why don't you have the investigation team accompany Ye Feng to the scene of the incident and find out what problems there on the spot? Ye Feng can make amends for his mistake in this way. What do you think, Brother Wang?"
Wang Bufan stared at Zhao Gongming for a long time.
He's not stupid; Zhao Gongming's explanation was, on the surface, just to cooperate with the investigation.
In reality, it's holding yourself back.
Wang Wu is a half-step Martial God, plus Wang Qi and Wang Shisan, both at the late stage of the seventh rank.
Could it be that we can't even handle Ye Feng, who is at the early stage of the sixth rank?
Moreover, the machine race has a backup plan.
The Wang family patriarch has reached an agreement with the Silver Moon family.
The Mechs have already laid an ambush at the site where their advance team was wiped out.
No matter who the martial god behind Ye Feng is, they won't be able to leave alive.
"Brother Wang," Wang Bufan's anger subsided somewhat, and his tone softened.
"Since Lord Zhao has said so, I, Wang Bufan, am not an unreasonable person."
"It's not impossible for Ye Feng to atone for his crimes through meritorious service. He's a young man! To err is human, to forgive divine."
He paused, then turned to look at Wang Wu.
"Wang Wu, take Wang Qi and Wang Shisan and go with Ye Feng to the scene of the incident. I've sent the location to your communicator."
"Investigate thoroughly, find out the truth, and come back with a complete report."
"Yes, Second Master." Wang Wu clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.
As Zhao Gongming watched this scene, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Wang Bufan agreed too readily.
When he was in Shanhe Prefecture, he refused to back down and insisted on forcing me to hand over Ye Feng.
It's just a single sentence now.
"Have Ye Feng take them to the scene of the incident."
"Let Ye Feng atone for his crimes through meritorious service!"
Wang Bufan agreed.
This doesn't make sense unless he has ulterior motives.
But Zhao Gongming couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
"Wang Wu and the other two went to the scene of the incident with Ye Feng, while Wang Bufan stayed in Jiangcheng, where he was kept under surveillance!"
"They probably won't cause any trouble. Maybe I'm just overthinking it?"
Zhao Gongming turned around and glanced at Ye Feng, who was standing inside the city gate.
Ye Feng was dressed in a black outfit, with a Soul-Slaying Longsword hanging at his waist.
He saw Zhao Gongming's gaze and nodded slightly.
The two of them had already met last night.
Zhao Gongming rushed from Shanhe Prefecture to Jiangcheng and found Ye Feng immediately.
He told him that Wang Bufan was coming to Jiangcheng to arrest people.
Ye Feng simply smiled after hearing this.
"Lord, as long as you can hold off that Martial God from the Wang family, I'm confident I can handle those three investigation team members."
Zhao Gongming had witnessed Ye Feng kill Yin Xing and the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when Ye Feng broke through to the sixth rank.
He knew that Ye Feng's combat strength could not be judged by ordinary standards.
Ye Feng single-handedly wiped out a 30,000-strong advance team of the mechanical race.
No matter how strong Wang Wu is, can he be stronger than the Silver Moon Vanguard?
"Ye Feng, get ready. Go with the three investigators from Kyoto to the scene of the incident," Zhao Gongming said.
Ye Feng stepped forward and clasped his hands in a salute.
"Yes, Lord."
Wang Wu sized up Ye Feng.
He only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the sixth rank.
His blood and qi fluctuations were quite ordinary, and he looked no different from an ordinary sixth-level martial artist.
But this young man killed Silver Star with a single blow.
Wang Wu felt a little uneasy.
However, I then remembered that there was a backup plan arranged by the Second Master over there.
He felt more at ease.
"Even if you're incredibly powerful, can you really defeat a mechanical warrior god?"
"The Machine Race is going to take down the War God behind you!"
Both sides harbored their own ulterior motives, yet on the surface they appeared to be on good terms.
Wang Bufan was "invited" into the Jiangcheng City Lord's Mansion by Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming had the best tea served and kept him company while he drank tea and chatted.
Ye Feng led Wang Wu and the other two out of Jiangcheng and flew towards the southern mountains.
Ye Feng wasn't flying very fast, which was just enough for Wang Wu and the other two to keep up.
Wang Wufei was behind him, always keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far, like he was escorting a prisoner.
Wang Qi and Wang Shisan blocked Ye Feng's escape route, one on the left and one on the right.
Ye Feng pretended not to see it.
They flew over the edge of the southern mountains.
The mountains and rivers beneath our feet went from bustling to desolate, until finally, to that scorched land.
The ground was covered with traces of the explosion.
Silvery-white metal fragments were scattered over an area of several miles.
Wang Wu's expression was not good.
He landed from the sky and stood on the edge of the largest crater.
He looked at the wreckage of the command ship, which had been split in two, at his feet.
It can cleave the most advanced flagship of the mechanical race in one stroke, and make such a clean cut.
What kind of power does this require?
At least at the late stage of Martial God.
Even invincible for a short time.
Wang Wu's heart sank.
If this level of powerhouse is truly related to Ye Feng...
So he's coming here today to die.
Wang Wu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Second Master said it!
The mechanical race will handle it.
"That's a trap! Even a martial god would die there!"
