Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Xiao Ye Killed the Hong Family’s Dead Soldier! (Please Follow)

The fat lady roared: "I don’t care, alive I want to see the person, dead I want to see the body. I’m fat enough, I don’t want to gain any more weight."

This is not an age where being fat is considered beautiful, and lately there have been signs of an explosive growth in her weight. She was panicking, in dire need of Destruction Material and Life Material.

Hong Tao rubbed his brow in distress. The disappearance of the Death Soldiers also struck him as very fishy.

Carrying Breakthrough Potions and Berserk Potions, the Death Soldiers who entered the Secret Realm would definitely first break through to the Venerable Realm, and then, according to the plan, harvest Life Material and Destruction Material to the maximum extent without encountering other trainees. Even if they did come across others, they would choose to avoid them as planned, to achieve the most efficient harvesting.

"Don’t panic, I will ask about the situation," Hong Tao said to reassure her.

Then he dialed Yang Junming’s phone.

"What, the Hong Family’s Genius is dead?" exclaimed Yang Junming on the other end of the phone.

Hong Tao nodded: "This is only a speculation."

"Only you can contact them in the Holy Spirit Secret Realm, so I am asking about the situation."

Yang Junming fell silent.

Indeed, only he could get in touch with the Hong Family’s Genius, because he had a navigation compass that could locate the Hong Family’s Genius in the Secret Realm by following the direction of the blue pointer.

But! He had given the navigation compass to Xiao Ye.

And Xiao Ye had gone to find the Hong Family’s Genius!

Combining the fact that within the Holy Spirit Secret Realm, Xiao Ye was at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, and with his terrifying combat power, Yang Junming was shocked.

The death of the Hong Family’s Genius was very likely related to Xiao Ye!

"Xiao Yang, do you know something?" Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Hong Tao sensed something amiss and quickly asked.

Yang Junming pondered for a moment and said, "I heard there was a genocidal war between two Venerable Realm Magic Beast Groups in the sea territory of the Holy Spirit Secret Realm, which made a huge racket and could be heard from afar."

"I suspect the death of the Hong Family’s Genius may be related to this battle."

Hong Tao frowned, "Genocidal war..."

"Do you know which two clans were involved?"

The Death Soldiers’ harvesting plan had selected the Lighthouse Jellyfish Magic Beast Group, known for their weaker attack power, to collect Life Material.

Recalling the words of the proud young man Jie Gangtai, Yang Junming said, "It was the Alligator Turtle Clan and the Lighthouse Jellyfish Clan. It’s said that the battle was earth-shattering, and the Lighthouse Jellyfish clan was annihilated by the Alligator Turtle Clan."

"This was told to me by City Lord Mansion’s Genius Jie Gangtai himself; he witnessed the whole event from a distance, so it’s very likely true."

The Lighthouse Jellyfish Clan was completely exterminated!

Hong Tao gasped in shock. As far as he knew, the Lighthouse Jellyfish Clan numbered four to five hundred, with over three hundred above the Venerable Realm and several dozen in the Great Venerable Realm. Although there were no members in the Supreme Realm, they were still a massive force in Modu Base.

And they had been exterminated by the Alligator Turtle Clan!

"I understand now," Hong Tao sighed.

The Hong Family’s Dead Soldiers had most likely been caught up in this genocidal battle and were unable to escape, resulting in their sacrifice.

Afterward, Hong Tao and Yang Junming discussed the matter of recruiting Xiao Ye.

"The plan has changed; Xiao Ye is now on the Hong Family’s death list. What you need to do now is figure out Xiao Ye’s habits and weaknesses, and then I will come up with a specific plan."

"Once the job is done, you’ll get your share of the benefits!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Junming’s expression changed.

Certainly, he had a good relationship with Hong Tao, but during these days of contact with Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye had unknowingly helped him, enabling him and the Contractor Hong Yun to make further progress; moreover, Xiao Ye had saved his life last time in the Secret Realm.

He felt that Xiao Ye was a very good person with considerable personal charm, definitely a person worth making friends with!

So before this, he had already entertained the real intention of becoming friends with Xiao Ye.

But now you’re telling me to figure out this man’s habits and weaknesses and then make a plan to eliminate Xiao Ye?

"Why is he on the Hong Family’s death list?" Yang Junming frowned as he asked. He was the Child of Supreme, not a stooge of Hong Tao; the two often collaborated frequently, but this did not mean he could handle everything on his behalf.

Hong Tao sensed something amiss. The former Yang Junming wouldn’t be so nosy, always asking so many questions - he would have just taken the opportunity as soon as it presented itself.

"Xiao Yang, you’re not seriously considering making friends with Xiao Ye and becoming sworn brothers with him, are you?" Hong Tao couldn’t believe it.

Yang Junming knew how to talk the talk and was clear about the situation. He laughed and said, "How could that be possible? I was just curious. Last time, you said you wanted to win over Xiao Ye, but in just a few days, you’re saying Xiao Ye is on your family’s death list. Such a quick change, I’m quite surprised."

Hong Tao relaxed, and with a smile said, "It involves the grudges of the previous generation, the specifics of which are hard to explain. Just follow the plan I told you to."

Beep beep beep!

Staring at the disconnected call, Yang Junming fell into deep thought, his heart becoming entangled.

On one hand, there was Hong Tao, and on the other, Xiao Ye, whom he for the first time in his life felt an inclination to befriend.

On the other side.

After hanging up the phone with Yang Junming, Hong Tao found Jie Gangtai’s contact number in the family information database.

He dialed it through, and the call connected.

"So, it’s Young Master Hong, Mr. Hong, hello," said Jie Gangtai.

Hong Tao brought up the death of Hong Family’s Genius and then asked if he knew anything about the Hong Family’s Genius and the war that led to their extermination.

"Dead?" Jie Gangtai was also astonished, "Died in the war of extermination?"

He hadn’t seen a trace of Hong Family’s Genius.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Sorry, I didn’t see them."

"I suggest you ask Xiao Ye from the Kunpeng Academy. He knows more than me. The reason why the war of extermination began has a lot to do with him."

Jie Gangtai intentionally pushed Xiao Ye into the line of fire. He, bearing a grudge against Xiao Ye so intense that his teeth itched, was more than happy to see Xiao Ye targeted by the Hong Family. Besides, what he said was true, not fabricated out of thin air.

Indeed, Xiao Ye had initiated the war of extermination!

Hong Tao’s face suddenly darkened—so the death of Hong Family’s Dead Soldier was related to Xiao Ye!

After disconnecting the call, Hong Tao’s expression was grim. From the inquiry, he could generally surmise that when the Hong Family’s Dead Soldier was reaping Life Materials, two races began their extermination war. The Death Soldier couldn’t escape in time and died as a result of the battle.

Jie Gangtai said the initiation of the war of extermination was related to Xiao Ye.

Which meant that it was Xiao Ye who had inadvertently caused the sacrifice of Hong Family’s Dead Soldier.

"It was Xiao Ye who caused the death of our Dead Soldier!" he turned and said to the fat lady.

"Is that the same kid you said you wanted to win over last time?" the fat lady asked.

Hong Tao nodded.

The fat lady exploded in anger, "Win over my ass! I’m telling you, Hong Tao, send someone to kill this trash right now!"

"Kill! Definitely kill!" Hong Tao’s eyes were fierce, "But we have to do this step by step."

The fat lady grabbed his collar in one move, lifting him from the ground, and raged, "No, I want him dead now, Hong Tao, you’re getting worse and worse, making such a fuss over killing someone."

Looked down upon by his Contractor wife, Hong Tao’s eyes widened, a resolve forming as he said:

"Alright, I’ll arrange it now!"

He thought of Mu Qingxue, the City Lord’s daughter, who had approached him for Conception Crystal Cave training just ten minutes before.

Hong Tao decided to exploit Mu Qingxue. When Mu Qingxue was cultivating in the Conception Crystal Cave, he would lure Xiao Ye inside, and infuse the air with a top-level Love Potion that could poison even someone in the Great Venerable Realm.

Love Potion: A powerful aphrodisiac that forcibly induces intimacy between a man and a woman.

After both of them were poisoned and engaged in relations, he would send people into the cave. Using the excuse of capturing the assailant who violated Mu Qingxue, they would blast Xiao Ye away.

Afterwards, if the Supreme Sovereign of Kunpeng pursued the matter, the Hong Family could use the City Lord Mansion as a shield.
