"I will handle the Zheng Clan matter on my own." Ye Tian Yun said.
The other three looked at each other for a moment, and then the Elder said, "Shu Xian, go ahead then. However, if things don't turn out well, we will attack and destroy the clan."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "I will leave as soon as this meeting is over."
The Elder nodded his head, and looking at the map; he let out a sigh, "How did those two disciples from the Heaven Oracle Sect put arrays all over the city within just one night?"
Yin Shan couldn't help but grit his teeth at this, "Indeed, Elder. It took four of us just to mark the number of arrays, and we spent the whole night doing that."
"Yet these two kids were able to set up arrays all over the city within just one night. Are they prodigies or hidden masters?"
The Elder shook his head, "Heaven Oracle Sect's methods are as mysterious as they could be, but this was really surprising."
Ye Tian Yun didn't show any amazement or confusion.
He knew how Qin Wentian did it.
But there was one thing that did surprise him - Qin Wentian was just a disciple, yet he was given the authority to use the artifact that can cover the region throughout the city."
"Elder," Jia Lei Shan suddenly said, "I have a feeling that not all these arrays were set up by the duo from Heaven Oracle Sect."
"What do you mean?" Yin Shan asked.
"Senior Brother, these arrays could also have been set beforehand by the people of the Wu Kingdom." Jia Lei Shan suggested.
Ye Tian Yun also nodded his head.
Indeed this was a possibility.
Wu Clan was known for its array and alchemy expertise.
That was what gave them an advantage over the Xin Kingdom.
The only thing that brought back the balance was the fact that the Xin Kingdom only had to face the Wu Kingdom. On the other hand, the Wu Kingdom had to face the Xin Kingdom from one side and the Devil Sect from the other.
The Devil Sect's headquarters were situated in the Sea Beyond Horizon, on the eastern side of Wu Kingdom.
The Elder too nodded his head, "This could be a possibility, but we can't deny the fact that this is most unlikely."
"Even though the Wu Kingdom is known for the arrays and alchemy, all of their arrays are already studied by our sect."
"And the arrays I saw through the city were mostly new to me. This is why I didn't mention anything about the Wu Kingdom earlier."
Ye Tian Yun slightly frowned and relaxed his eyebrows.
Devil Sect had a deep grasp over the Lower Heavens.
They had more than two hundred outposts in the Xin Kingdom and knew the ins and outs of the Wu Kingdom.
Not to forget that they were influencing the politics in both countries.
'This sect will either be of great use in the coming future or will be a big enemy.'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but have this thought.
When two parties go for the pinnacle, they are bound to cross each other's path.
Since the Devil Sect had put their hands pretty deep in the Lower Heavens, it was qu9ite clear what their main goal was - Dominance.
'They even have spies in the Heaven Oracle Sect… I wonder if they have someone in the Great Ye Clan too?'
'I should visit this sect one day… Maybe once I am done with Xiao Ming?'
"Alright, let's end the meeting then."
The Elder called out to everyone and added, "The people from Gracious Sword Sect should arrive today if nothing unexpected had happened. So we need to clear the issue related to the Zheng Clan before they enter the city."
Then looking at Ye Tian Yun, he continued, "Shu Xian, go to the Zheng Clan and see if you can make a few arrangements."
"Don't waste too much time there. We don't know when the people from the sect will arrive."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and stood up from his seat.
After cupping his fists, he left the room.
Staring at the disappearing back of Ye Tian Yun, the elder whispered, "This guy has been acting weird ever since we came back from the search. Did something happen last night, Yin Shan?"
Yin Shan frowned, "Nothing major. He was quite helpful and didn't try anything funny. Oh yeah, he did ask me if I was feeling something weird."
"Weird? How weird?" The Elder frowned.
Yin Shan shrugged, "I think he meant to ask if I was feeling as if being stared at."
"Oh?" the Elder's frown deepened, "I will talk about this to him later. For now, I will go and report to the Vice Leader."
"Yes, Elder." Both Yin Shan and Jia Lei Shan cupped their fists and saw the Elder disappear from his seat.
Yin Shan looked at Jia Lei Shan and asked, "Now what happened to you?"
Jia Lie Shan pursed his lips, "You know what happened, Senior Brother."
"Hm?" Yin Shan frowned, "Is it related to the Zheng CLan?"
Jia Lei Shan slightly nodded his head.
Yin Shan couldn't help but laugh at him, "Haha, Junior Brother, since when did you become so short-sighted?"
"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
Yin Shan shook his head, "See, Junior Brother, you want the Zheng Clan dead, right?"
Jia Lei Shan nodded his head, "Yeah, only then my clan will move forward."
Yin Shan asked, "Then what about the third clan? Isn't it also waiting for the right opportunity? Once they see the chance, I am sure they won't hesitate to strike."
"So what should I do? Let Shu Xian talk to the Zheng CLan and create an alliance with them?" Jia Lei Shan frowned.
Yin Shan nodded his head, "Exactly."
"Junior Brother, you're forgetting that our priority is to get the Token Of Fate. As long as we have it, the sect will make you the king of this whole region, much less this insignificant city."
"So keep your eyes on the bigger prize, don't settle for just destroying a small enemy."
"Yes, Senior Brother." Jia Lei Shan slightly nodded his head.
