Chapter 458 1 stone 3 birds
He Yi was looking in the direction behind Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an turned her head sharply and saw that there were countless silver needles as fine as cow hairs rushing towards her from behind. Because it was night, the silver needles were extremely fine and could be easily hidden in the night without being discovered.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and waved it, and an ice wall suddenly rose up a few steps away from her.
However, some silver needles still pierced through the ice wall and shot towards her.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes; it seemed the other party's spiritual power cultivation was not weak.
Ye Qing'an formed hand seals, and suddenly a phoenix eye, like a blizzard, appeared in front of her. The blizzard raged, and the silver needles were immediately swept into the eye of the storm.
Ye Qing'an pushed his hand back, and the silver needles flew back along the path they came from, only to be completely blocked.
Faint exclamations and the sound of silver needles entering a body could be heard. Ye Qing'an seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, her gaze darkening.
"Help! General Gu is injured!"
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly, and He Yi's voice rang in her ears: "Just now, was that Gu Hai?"
Ye Qing'an curled her lips. This He Yi was quick to react and a smart man. She just didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"After all, my sudden ascension to the Supreme Being was unexpected by everyone and affected the interests of some people. Naturally, some people would have some less-than-honorable thoughts."
Ye Qing'an turned her head to look at the magical beast not far away, and with a slight lift of her finger, a very powerful spiritual force poured out from her fingertip.
Immediately, a blizzard arrived as expected, sweeping away the monsters that were still lingering and trying to approach the area, sending them back to the Monster Forest.
"The crisis with the monsters has been completely resolved. Since General Gu is injured, General He should go and see him as soon as possible. An army cannot be without a commander for even a day..."
He Yi gave Ye Qing'an a deep look, opened his arms, landed steadily, and then quickly walked towards the direction from which the exclamations came from.
Ye Qing'an also descended from mid-air and slowly strolled towards the main camp.
Perhaps because there was a fire and an assassination attempt on the other side of the camp, there were hardly any people on the side adjacent to the Monster Forest.
Even the torches were taken away, making the camp somewhat dim.
As Ye Qing'an walked past a tent, a shadow suddenly appeared from a nearby tent, grabbed her, and pulled her into the tent behind her.
Ye Qing'an was startled; she hadn't even noticed the person approaching.
Ye Qing'an almost instinctively raised his elbow to strike, but before he could gather his spiritual energy, it was blocked.
Ye Qing'an was startled; this person's spiritual power was profound, and she actually...
The thought had just crossed my mind when I heard a soft laugh beside me.
"..."
Ye Qing'an was all too familiar with that voice.
"Yi Moxu?"
Ye Qingan released his grip and noticed that the person restraining him was gradually loosening their hold, so he turned his head away.
The tent was pitch black, with only a faint outline visible.
But even from just a silhouette, Ye Qing'an recognized the person in front of her as Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an glared at Yi Moxu: "What are you doing? What are you hiding here for? Why did you drag me in here?"
Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly: "Someone outside has set a trap, just waiting for you to fall into it. I hid here and pulled you in, naturally to save you from this predicament."
Ye Qing'an ignored the second half of Yi Moxu's sentence and focused all her attention on the first half: "Someone has set a trap for me to fall into?"
"Who?"
Yi Moxu didn't tell her directly, but just blinked slightly and said, "Guess."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath. This person's existence was simply testing her patience.
If it were based on her temper from her previous life, she probably would have torn this person to pieces long ago.
Although he couldn't clearly see Ye Qing'an's expression, just by listening to Ye Qing'an's heavy breathing, Yi Moxu knew that Ye Qing'an was angry.
Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly. Ye Qing'an's usual demeanor was far too aloof.
Only when he teases her to the point of anger and embarrassment will she reveal some of her true emotions.
At times like these, Yi Moxu's heart would melt completely.
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "I can say that, but... I have conditions."
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "It's Gu Hai, isn't it?"
Seeing that Ye Qing'an guessed it so quickly, Yi Moxu's smile deepened: "Aren't you going to give me a chance?"
Ye Qing'an ignored him: "Although the news of me becoming a Supreme after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl has already spread, these assassins arrived a bit too quickly tonight. This is still a camp, with Gu Hai and He Yi in charge, and several thousand soldiers stationed here."
“Gu Hai and He Yi’s Xuanling skills are not low. Under these circumstances, even if someone wants to come for the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, they will definitely find out the information in the camp, make a thorough plan, and make proper preparations before they come.”
"Even if there are some reckless people, they will not be many, and their abilities will not be very high."
"But the people who came tonight are different. Although some people are taking advantage of the chaos, I think it's more likely that someone is deliberately plotting to make the Heavenly Spirit Pearl disappear before the real assassin arrives."
"And tonight, Gu Hai's performance was full of loopholes, making it hard for anyone not to guess what was going on."
Yi Moxu chuckled: "Qing An is exceptionally intelligent."
“Gu Hai…” Yi Moxu paced back and forth in the camp: “Although Gu Hai is quite cunning, he is not suitable to be a leader. He uses his scheming and calculations in the wrong places. He is short-sighted and not capable of achieving great things.”
Ye Qing'an responded, then turned to look at Yi Moxu: "You mean he set a trap for me?"
"The one who stabbed me in the back just now? It really was him?"
Yi Moxu responded, "Just now he deliberately pretended to be injured in order to lure you over. Then he would try to be alone with you and say that you want to kill him."
Ye Qing'an chuckled softly: "He's really short-sighted. He probably thinks that since I'm surnamed Ye and have now become a Supreme Being, I'll be his enemy sooner or later, so he might as well get rid of me before I've fully digested the spiritual energy in my body."
"By framing me for wanting to eliminate him, people will think I have designs on the Heavenly Spirit Pearl he possesses, or even that I stole it, making me the target of everyone's criticism and relieving his crisis. Furthermore, as a Supreme Being, I will intentionally remove obstacles for the Ye family, causing the other two major families to become wary of me, and also making Yi Yun Kui suspicious of the Ye family..."
"Killing three birds with one stone, that's impressive."
