Chapter 2214 - 2215: The King with a Heart of Stone

The Divine Calculator left, and Ye Xunhuan’s expression became even more sombre than before because his suggestion was utterly foolish.

It was almost tantamount to courting death, though it could be considered a situation where one must first face death to be reborn.

However, if he ended up in a truly deadly situation with no rebirth, then it would really be over.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan finally understood why the Divine Calculator had said it was a foolish idea.

For a moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with struggle and indecision, completely at a loss for what to do.

Meanwhile, Tang Yurou remained silent. Although she didn’t know what the Divine Calculator had whispered to Ye Xunhuan, judging by his expression, Tang Yurou could guess it was nothing good, otherwise, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t be like this.

As time passed slowly, Tang Yurou couldn’t help but ask, "Xunhuan, are you alright?"

Startled by Tang Yurou’s voice, Ye Xunhuan immediately snapped out of his contemplation, slowly turning his gaze toward her, and lightly shook his head, "I’m fine!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan forced a reluctant smile on his face, "Let’s go inside, it’s a bit cold out here!"

Tang Yurou didn’t press Ye Xunhuan further and walked into the villa with him.

Perhaps it was due to the numerous events tonight, or because of the looming danger, which made Ye Xunhuan feel unprecedentedly threatened, leaving him burdened with worries, making even the atmosphere feel oppressive.

Tang Yurou, having witnessed all of this, knew Ye Xunhuan was in a bad mood, so she chose not to ask further questions!

......

The next morning, a sliver of sunlight poured down from the eastern sky, bathing people in a warm, pleasant glow.

In an unknown Huaxia mountain cliff where a pavilion-styled tower hung, the King’s face was full of gloom, fists clenched, with a murderous intent unrestrained, flowing around him.

At the moment, inside this pavilion tower, chaos ensued; everything had been destroyed as if a looter had ravaged the place.

All this happened after the King left to find Ye Xunhuan.

Someone had assaulted the Protectors’ base!

Yes, someone attacked the Protectors’ base, defeating the masters there one by one and even killing some!

Even Xiao Jiangnan, left behind by the King, was severely injured and still unconscious.

This made the King feel as if he had been brutally slapped in the face.

This silent slap didn’t sound but hurt immensely.

After some time, a burly man approached in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Master Xiao has awakened!"

"Take me to him!"

With that, the grim-faced King headed upstairs.

Upstairs, the King went directly into one of the rooms.

The room’s furnishings were simple, with just a bed and a few chairs.

Xiao Jiangnan lay on the bed in the room at this moment.

Currently, Xiao Jiangnan’s face was pale as paper, and his lips were very dry. He not only lost his former charisma but also seemed to age decades instantly.

Seeing the King enter, Xiao Jiangnan attempted to get up, "Your Majesty..."

The King hurriedly said, "No need for formalities, just lie down!"

With that, he stopped Xiao Jiangnan from getting up.

"Jiangnan, what exactly happened?" The King asked softly, sitting beside the bed.

"It was Ke Qinghong!" Xiao Jiangnan said, venomous, the scenes from last night flooding his mind.

Last night, Ke Qinghong suddenly arrived, bringing a few men and launched an attack. Xiao Jiangnan couldn’t resist him, nor could anyone else, being defeated one by one, seriously injured, and thoroughly humiliated. Ke Qinghong even said he’d spare Xiao Jiangnan to report to the King, letting him know Ke Qinghong had arrived.

Ke Qinghong!

Hearing these three words, a sharp killing intent flashed in the King’s eyes.

He had been searching for Ke Qinghong, even going to Qin Fangbin, but Ke Qinghong was nowhere to be found. Who would’ve thought that in the absence of the King, the wretched Ke Qinghong would launch an attack?

Of course, usually, even if the King wasn’t around, Ke Qinghong wouldn’t dare to come, with Xun Wanli still there!

But now Xun Wanli had been taken out by Ye Xunhuan.

And some other high masters among the Protectors weren’t present here. Unless summoned by the King, they wouldn’t appear in this godforsaken place.

"What did he say?" The King took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, asking Xiao Jiangnan.

"He said if you wanted to find him, no need to go to Qin Fangbin. Just spread the word, and he could appear anytime." Xiao Jiangnan replied softly, "But he also said that with each appearance, he’d give you a gift."

"And... and he... he also said..."

"What did he say?"

"He said some beginnings, your false gentleman facade would be completely ripped off, and he’d kick you from the altar to hell himself!" Xiao Jiangnan said cautiously.

The King snorted coldly, "That rat thinks he can replace me!"

"What overestimation."

Regarding Ke Qinghong, the King was unafraid; he was confident he could kill Ke Qinghong. The problem was, Ke Qinghong moved like a shadow, impossible to track down.

Moreover, the King had been searching for a long time, never managing to run into Ke Qinghong.

"Your Majesty, he... he also asked me to tell you something..."

"What is it?"

"He said he’d protect Ye Xunhuan," Xiao Jiangnan said carefully. "With internal strife in Huaxia, outsiders would take advantage; you should weigh the pros and cons."

"Bastard!" The King’s face turned ashen. "Is he threatening me?"

Ke Qinghong’s words clearly warned the King, If you move against Ye Xunhuan, I’ll target others. While you hunt Ye Xunhuan, you won’t find me or stop me. You kill yours, I’ll kill mine.

Meanwhile, I’ll leak the news of internal conflict in Huaxia, just to see how many will want to take advantage!

"Your Majesty, now we..."

"My Jun family hasn’t made a move yet." The King’s face was grim. "If he wants to play, I’ll play along. Let’s see if my tactics are tougher than theirs!"

With that, a thick killing intent showed on the King’s face.

At this moment, the King’s heart was like a rock, indestructible. He was determined to deal with Ye Xunhuan, stripping away all his strategies before finally taking his life.

To end it all!
