At such a time, isn’t killing subordinates who oppose oneself so recklessly the equivalent of giving oneself away?
Originally, some might still have doubted whether what Princess Er Ya said was true or false, or even doubted the authenticity of Princess Er Ya herself!
But with Nanba killing like this, it completely confirmed Nanba’s actions.
That means that Nanba did indeed make a move against Princess Er Ya before, becoming a rebel of the Blood Demon Sect!
A complete idiot!
How did such a big fool become the leader of the Blood Demon Division?
“Whoever dares to oppose Leader Nanba, this will be the end! All members of the Blood Demon listen up, the Blood Demon Clan Leader is incompetent and confused, Leader Nanba is already preparing to take over the Blood Demon Division and will definitely lead everyone towards a more glorious future… Support Leader Nanba!”
“Support Leader Nanba!”
“Leader Nanba is mighty!”
Nanba has been operating within the Blood Demon Division for so many years, naturally, he has his own faction of loyal direct lineage troops.
Under the orders of a few direct lineage subordinates, more than a hundred people also expressed their loyal support.
But the key point now is that this is during a standoff between three forces. Although Princess Er Ya’s strength is not as good as Nanba’s, with Princess Er Ya’s status laid out there, even the first batch of Blood Demon powerhouses that Nanba brought along, a good half of them remained indifferent and did not show any enthusiasm.
Especially after they saw Nanba directly kill another deputy, several subordinates loyal to the Clan Leader and Princess Er Ya even exchanged glances, then nodded secretly, gripping their battle sabers and quietly moved closer to Leader Nanba.
The situation had actually become very clear now.
The emergence of Princess Er Ya completely tilted the scales towards the side of Ye Fan and Gu Feng.
On the side of Black Clothes Society’s Matsumoto and Elder Xiao Quan, almost all of the Black Clothes Society’s members were dead or severely injured, and Zhou Yao himself brought less than fifty direct lineage troops, not nearly enough to shake the overall battle situation.
Zhou Yao and Nanba’s combined forces now numbered less than two hundred, while on Ye Fan’s side, the Xuanwu Region’s powerhouses alone were nearly a thousand, and with the support of Princess Er Ya, that was a crushing force of twenty times greater.
Even if compared on the level of absolute powerhouses from the Martial Emperor Level, Ye Fan’s side had Gu Feng, Yu Qiang, along with Ruan Feiliu and another elder, already holding an absolute advantage.
“Young Master Zhou, what should we do now? You have to think of something. Do you have any other direct lineage troops from the Xuanwu Region? It’s time for them to act!” Nanba, seeing his subordinates gradually turning against him, felt panic seizing his heart and approached Zhou Yao, speaking to him.
At this moment, Zhou Yao was so frustrated he was nearly going mad!
I really want to say I don’t know you!
But at this point, Zhou Yao had already completely fallen out with Gu Feng, and the current situation left no room for turning back.
We have to figure out a way to leave here first!
“Leader Nanba, with our few people, trying to oppose Princess Er Ya, as well as Gu Feng, and the Tianji Pavilion members, is impossible! There’s only one way now, and that’s to take hostages and leave here… Later, you take Princess Er Ya hostage, I’ll take Ye Fan, and let another one of your deputies take Yu Linglong, then we can safely leave this place…”
“Take hostages?” Nanba exclaimed in shock, as Zhou Yao quickly covered Nanba’s mouth with his hand, “Keep it down!”
Dammit!
With so many Martial Emperor powerhouses present, why are you shouting so loud, are you eager for them to find out?
In despair, Nanba glanced over at Ye Fan and Yu Linglong’s direction, where there were two Martial Emperor powerhouses, Yu Qiang and Gu Feng, as well as Tianji Pavilion’s Dead Soldiers and several Martial Venerable masters from the Xuanwu Region, all vigilantly surrounding Ye Fan and Yu Linglong in the middle, “How can we break through?”
“Do you have a choice right now? Even if we can’t break through, we must charge!” Zhou Yao felt somewhat desperate inside, this was the only way out.
If they could take Ye Fan, Yu Linglong, and Princess Er Ya as hostages, perhaps there was a chance they could escape with their lives. But if they tried to break out from another position, the members of the Xuanwu Region and the Blood Demon Division would have no such concerns and with so many powerhouses taking turns, even if it was a war of attrition, it would wear them to death!
Actually, Zhou Yao still played tricks!
With two Martial Emperor powerhouses at Princess Er Ya’s side, sending Nanba to take her hostage would surely put Ruan Feiliu and those Blood Demon strongmen on high alert—they absolutely wouldn’t allow Nanba to succeed easily.
But Nanba’s sudden action was bound to grab everyone’s attention.
Afterward, Zhou Yao, Nanba’s deputy commander, Elder Xiao Quan, and Matsumoto launched an attack on Ye Fan’s side, outnumbering them at the Martial Emperor level, which greatly increased the chances of success!
However, when Zhou Yao looked towards Ye Fan’s direction, an unexpected change occurred once again!
“Hmm!”
Ye Fan, lying in Nan Sheng’s arms, suddenly cried out, his body twitched, and he actually wakes up directly!
“Young Master, are you awake? Are you alright?” Nan Sheng had been embracing Ye Fan, constantly injecting her Martial Arts Qi into Ye Fan’s body, hoping to compensate for his overdrawn Martial Arts Qi.
But to Nan Sheng’s astonishment, when the Young Master’s head rested against her Great Phoenix, such an intimate contact, while making Nan Sheng somewhat shy, also let her receive a warm current with a strong aura.
Those warm currents continuously elevated the Martial Arts Qi within Nan Sheng’s body, and naturally, Ye Fan benefited as well.
Nan Sheng’s pupils dilated in shock at the moment, her heart thunderstruck… So the Young Master had such a secret? One could receive warm currents and boost their own strength just by having close contact with the Young Master?
In just a brief moment, the benefits Nan Sheng received felt like she was about to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.
Nan Sheng refused outright when Xiao Wen and the others wanted to come over and hold Ye Fan for a while.
How could Nan Sheng pass up such a treasure, a furnace?
She had only intended to help the Young Master, but she never expected to be the one to benefit more!
Nan Sheng had already decided that the role of the warm-footed girl by the Young Master’s side was hers for sure.
“Yes! I am fine now… My body still has the ancient aura and energy from the remnants of the Undying Bone, and the Divinity Fragment is also providing me with the energy for recovery… The depletion I felt earlier has basically been fully restored,”
Ye Fan stood up from Nan Sheng’s arms, patted her shoulder with his hand, and then leaned in close to Nan Sheng’s ear and whispered, “Remember to keep it a secret!”
Having received the warm current feedback himself, Ye Fan naturally understood, Nan Sheng must have discovered the secret of the Inheritance within him.
“Okay!”
Zhou Yao felt the fluctuating Qi emanating from Ye Fan from a distance, and his face instantly turned bitter.
Damn it!
Not only had Ye Fan woken up, but he also returned to his peak condition, adding another Martial Emperor level fighter to their ranks.
“Young Master Ye, you’re awake… That’s great… Thank you for saving my life…” Seeing Ye Fan awake from afar, Princess Er Ya didn’t hesitate and quickly dashed towards Ye Fan!
When Er Ya moved, Ruan Feiliu, the other Martial Emperor elders, and a group of guards also moved together!
This turn of events made Nanba panic!
If they let Princess Er Ya gather with Ye Fan and the others, it would be even harder to make a move!
Nanba stirred his Qi Force, ready to charge in the direction of Er Ya!
Pfft! Pfft!
But what Nanba didn’t expect was that five battle sabers would suddenly strike from behind, plunging straight into his waist…
