"This area is under none other than the Zheng Clan!"
"What!?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
Zheng Clan was their ally!
That meant they wouldn't face any trouble and would even be able to stall the Wu Kingdom people who might chase them.
If they chose any other path, things might go in the wrong direction because those exits were not really a part of friendly territory. Things might get delayed if the respective clans tried to interfere.
However, it would be much easier for them in the Zheng Clan path. In fact, the Zheng Clan might even help them get a lead ahead.
"This is a good understanding." Jun Xie nodded his head, "Let's follow this. Now we just need to find a route with the least troublesome arrays to cross and get to this exit."
Ye Tian Yun slowly nodded and came out of the group.
'To think I had to explain everything to these people.'
Compared to this situation, what happened in the Jia Lei Clan was quite different.
There, Elder Li had already analyzed the situation pretty well and was able to judge this course.
Even though he didn't explain anything behind it and just shrugged it off as the easier path, Ye Tian Yun knew that there was more to this.
And after analyzing the map for some time, he was able to find a good reason behind Elder Li's plans.
"Let's call Clan Head Zheng Yuan!" Yuan Shuchun's words interrupted Ye Tian Yun's train of thoughts.
"I will go." Fu Kai nodded his head and went out.
After a few minutes, he came back with Clan Head Zheng Yuan, who had already been informed about the situation along the way.
"No problem, In fact, we have already started preparation regarding this." Clan Head Zheng Yuan replied with a smile.
"Really?" Everyone except Ye Tian Yun was surprised to hear his words.
Jun Xie couldn't help but say, "Clan Head Zheng Yuan, you're quite amazing. You prepared a tavern, and now you have even thought of this? That's pretty good."
"Um... ah, no, the thing is -"
"We need to prioritize something else right now," Ye Tian Yun interjected before Clan Head Zheng Yuan could reveal anything.
"We will have all the time to discuss this once we're done with this mission. Don't forget that we need to write a report anyway, so we need to discuss everything later. For now, let's get to the main question - Clan Head Zheng Yuan, what are the preparations you have made?"
Zheng Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Well, first of all, I have made arrangements for an easy escape for you. All of you will be able to get out of the city without facing any hiccups within the territory of Zheng Clan."
"And what if enemies are chasing us?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
"About this…" Zheng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I haven't really arranged anything about this as of yet, but I am considering it."
"What I currently have in my mind is quite simple - as soon as you guys escape, we will create a barricade and try to delay the enemies as much as possible."
"Hmm," Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Wouldn't your Clan lose a lot of manpower in this? You might even be fully wiped out."
"Uh…" Clan Head Zheng Yuan was speechless for a moment, but after a thought, he let out a sigh, "We can only leave it up to fate."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Fate is never reliable, here's what you should do - in fact, here's what you whole clan should do - as soon as we escape, announce enemy attack, and stall those people for just a few seconds, and then, let them go."
"What?" Xiao Ming interrupted, "What's the point of all this then?"
Ye Tian Yun gestured him to shut up and continued to say to Clan head Zheng Yuan, "Once the guards have backed down, immediately resume the market. Let the enemy struggle while passing through the crowd of ignorant people."
Clan Head thought for a moment, and then it finally dawned upon him what Ye Tian Yun was trying to do, "Alright, Young Master. I will do as you say."
The others nodded their heads too; Ye Tian Yun's words did have some merit.
After about ten or so minutes of more discussion, the meeting was adjourned, and everyone went back to their rooms while Clan Head Zheng Yuan returned to make arrangements for the fateful day.
As for Ye Tian Yun, he was doing his new favorite thing - overlooking the city through the huge tavern glass wall.
…
About a hundred or so meters away, in another tavern.
A 'closed for business' sign hung on its main gate. However, a few nearby vendors knew very well that there were quite special guests staying in this building.
On the top floor, there was a similar glass wall that presented the whole city view through it.
A man was staring at the city through the glass.
"Would anyone have ever imagined that this small and insignificant city is actually the place where the wheels of fate, space, time, and chaos will turn in a new direction?" The man said with a smile.
He was none other than Heavenly Emperor Wang Yao, ruler of all that is known.
"I don't know about Time, but I know for sure that you are underestimating the power of Fate." Someone replied to him.
The man turned his head and had a pleasant expression on his face, "Ah, Third Brother, you returned! So, how did your trip go?"
Xiao Ming, Heavenly King Of Fate, let out a sigh and took a seat, "It was just a short trip. I wanted a breath of fresh air."
Wang Yao frowned and said, "Third Brother, I hope you haven't tried anything funny. This is the past, and we can't interfere directly or indirectly."
Xiao Ming frowned, "Haven't you interfered already? After all, how is it possible that Ye Tian Yun even had a rebirth?"
"If you haven't done anything, how is it possible that Ye Tian Yun could go through Rebirth?"
