"Elder, I have a different plan in mind. It will bring us more benefits." Ye Tian Yun said, "Not only will it bring a lot more to our plate, but it will also not make us the lead characters."
"Hm?" The Elder replied, "I would like to hear it then."
Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and began to lay out his plan.
"Seniors, first I will explain the effects of the current plan, and then I will give out what I have in my mind."
"First of all, let's consider we follow the current plan and can successfully kidnap Yang Kai."
"Once that is done, even though we will get the Token Of Fate, we will lose the other half of the prize."
"The other half that I am talking about is - Third Princess Of Wu Kingdom, Wu Qingwu."
"Let's not forget that she is also an important target, especially for our sect. If we have her in captivity, the Wu Kingdom will be ready to kneel in front of us."
"But following the current plan, we will end up missing such a huge opportunity."
"This opportunity is important for all of us because we can't share the information related to the Token Of Fate to anyone, so it won't have any benefit to all of us. Even if it does have a benefit, let's not forget that only one of us can wield it."
"This is why I would like to suggest a new plan. Because if we are able to capture Wu Qingwu, we will be honored within the sect, and all of us will get loads of benefits."
"Hmm," The Elder nodded his head, "This is true. In fact, we can't use the Token Of Fate amongst ourselves. We will have to give it to the Vice Sect Leader, but even then, we won't give any information because people will be suspicious about us."
"Cough," Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and said, "Seniors, even though I may be punished for remarking this, but please also think of the fact that we will become liabilities for the Vice Sect Leader once he gets the Token Of Fate."
"Hm? You mean…"
"Yes, Elder. He may opt to silence us. Because only we will know about the Token Of Fate." Ye Tian Yun replied with a serious expression.
The other three looked at each other and nodded after a moment.
It was indeed a high possibility that the Vice Sect Leader might simply kill them after getting the Token Of Fate.
"What's your plan?" The Elder asked.
He was not eager to hear about what Ye Tian Yun had in his mind.
Ye Tian Yun gave a slight smile and said, "Seniors, we should wait for the right opportunity."
"Right opportunity?"
"Yes, Senior Yin Shan. The Gracious Sword Sect is here to target Wu Qingwu. It will be best for us to strike at that time and get our hands Wu Qingwu."
"This will act as a shield for us when we return to the sect because everyone will be paying attention to us, and the Vice Sect Leader won't be able to do anything."
"Wu Qingwu's value is too much, and we shouldn't miss her," The Elder said, "But we could have also gotten her at the end of the previous plan."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Elder, you're forgetting that there's also a Core Formation Realm cultivator among the Wu Qingwu's guards. So we can't go head-on."
"This is why we will use the Gracious Sword Sect as a meat shield."
"As both of these parties fight each other, we will strike at the right time and kidnap Wu Qingwu. Also, let's not forget that there's another hidden enemy - the disciples from the Heaven Oracle Sect."
"However, for them, I have another plan."
"Wait- what about Yang Kai then? He's as important as Wu Qingwu." Yin Shan asked.
Ye Tian Yun replied, "I was getting to that part, Senior."
"What I have told you by now is part B of the whole plan. That will happen tomorrow, or the day after that when Wu Qingwu arrives in the City."
"Part A is about Kai Yang. It's pretty simple- I will strike him, clean and swift."
"Since I am also a part of the Gracious Sword Sect, it won't be suspicious if I take Kai Yang anywhere, or if I meet him, he won't be suspicious of me."
"I will kidnap him and bring him here."
"Won't the Gracious Sword Sect know that he's missing?" Jie Lei Shan asked.
"Yes, they will. But can they do anything about it? No, they can't. They can only keep their mouth shut and pray that nothing goes wrong."
"Their priority right now is to get Wu Qingwu. It doesn't matter if anything happens to Kai Yang or not."
"Hmm," The Elder nodded his head, "When will you attack Kai Yang then?"
Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "As soon as they get out of the Tavern, I will start my move."
The Elder nodded his head, "Alright, I will await the good news."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I will definitely bring Yang Kai here."
The Elder smiled, "I have confidence in you."
"What about the Heaven Oracle Sect?" Yin Shan asked.
Ye Tian Yun replied, "I was thinking of taking them out tonight."
"Hm? I thought you would wait for them," The Elder frowned.
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Elder, I would have, but then I suddenly remembered one thing - the arrays covering the city.
We can't let them activate the array system. We don't even understand the consequences of half of the arrays, and they are new to us. So it's better we don't give them a chance to activate."
"That is why I will assassinate them first, and then, I will bring Kai Yang."
"Once this is done, the only things left would be to wait for the confrontation between Qu Wingwu and the Gracious Sword Sect."
"At the right time, we will strike and capture Wu Qingwu easily."
"As for the escape route, I have already arranged it with the Zheng clan, but we might not need it if I successfully assassinate the Heaven Oracle Sect disciples."
