Chapter 233 Western Regions
Chapter 233 Western Regions
Ye Ling was keenly aware of the significance of the Lin family to himself, so Chen Dao drove at an extremely fast pace.
The jeep sped through the streets of Jinling City and soon arrived at the Lin household.
"Lin Jianyang! Three days ago, you lost in a martial arts duel to me and bet the entire Lin family as the stake. Isn't it time to honor that bet today?"
The moment the two got out of the vehicle, they heard an arrogant voice coming from inside the Lin household.
Hearing this voice, Ye Ling's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
In his memory, Lin Jianyang had always been a steady person—how could such a person possibly use the entire Lin household as a wager in a duel?
There must be something fishy going on, and so without hesitation, Ye Ling, along with Chen Dao, stepped into the Lin household.
No sooner had they entered than the over a hundred people gathered in the house turned their heads in unison to look at Ye Ling and Chen Dao.
Among these hundred or so people, not a single one was ordinary; all of them were martial artists!
However, their strength was generally low, with only three at the forefront having reached the realm of a Great Grandmaster.
"Ye Ling?! How did you get here?"
"When did you return to Jinling?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing Ye Ling, Lin Jianyang's face bloomed with joy as he exclaimed.
Hidden behind him, Lin Xue also peeked out and timidly called: "Brother Ye!"
"Yes, I just arrived in Jinling City yesterday."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, then his gaze turned unfriendly as he looked at the people from the Wild Wolf Gang and said in an indifferent tone, "Are you the people from the Wild Wolf Gang?"
Seeing Ye Ling's attitude, the hundreds of members from the Wild Wolf Gang showed angry expressions, with some even drawing the weapons from their waists.
"A bunch of ants, daring to draw their swords against a superior? Courting death!"
Chen Dao said with a face full of murderous aura.
Before he could make a move, Ye Ling spoke: "No rush, let's clarify what's going on first."
At those words, Chen Dao immediately halted in his tracks, though his gaze towards the members of the Wild Wolf Gang still brimmed with intense killing intent.
"Brother Ye, three days ago, Dad was tricked by them!"
"They used some kind of wicked trickery and beguiled Dad. That's why he did such a foolish thing, betting the entire Lin household in a duel with them!"
Lin Xue said, her face full of anger.
Ye Ling's eyebrows raised, his detached gaze instantly locked onto the only woman among the three Great Grandmasters.
On this woman, he could clearly sense an alluring aura.
This was an aura that could only originate from the practice of charm arts and having reached a very profound level.
What Lin Xue described as wicked trickery was most likely Lin Jianyang being bewitched by this woman through charm arts, leading him to make such a decision.
"Ah, it's all my fault..."
Lin Jianyang heaved a sigh, speaking with a face full of self-reproach.
Ye Ling chuckled and said, "You don't need to blame yourself; it was because this woman beguiled you with charm arts that you did such a thing."
"Charm arts?"
Lin Jianyang murmured, then expressed with surprise, "Could it be that there really exists such evil and crooked methods in this world that can easily confuse others or even control their thoughts?"
Lin Dong nodded slightly; the path of martial arts was so vast and boundless, what was a mere beguiling cultivation technique in comparison?
There were even more bizarre and terrifying things than cultivation techniques like beguiling!
Lin Jianyang's strength was too weak, far inferior to this Great Grandmaster's woman; being bewitched by her charm technique was only to be expected.
"Are you guys really trying to welsh on the bet by deliberately bringing up all this nonsense?"
"What charm, what bewitchment? Our Wild Wolf Gang has always acted with integrity and openness!"
"It was Lin Jianyang who proposed using the Lin family as the wager. Now that he's lost, he's going to try to weasel out of it!"
One of the three Great Grandmasters spoke in a heavy voice.
Ye Ling's gaze fell back on the three men, before he indifferently said, "Are you three from the Western Regions?"
Upon hearing this, all three Great Grandmasters' faces changed, and a flash of terror flitted through the depths of their eyes.
Seeing their reactions, Ye Ling had confirmed the guess in his heart.
It was that guy from the Western Regions who had sent this Wild Wolf Gang to Jinling City.
"Sir, do not spout nonsense. We came from the north of the river; how could we possibly be from the Western Regions?"
"Even among the many members of our Wild Wolf Gang, not a single one has any ties to the Western Regions!" Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
The Great Grandmaster spoke up again.
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, his expression full of disdain as he said, "Has the Western Regions declined to such an extent that even one's origins cannot be acknowledged?"
"That guy from the Western Regions sent you to Jinling City; it was for me that you came, wasn't it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three Great Grandmasters changed abruptly.
The only woman's eyes flickered, and then an indescribable aura spread from her.
Those who were close to her, whether from the Lin family or the Wild Wolf Gang, all showed signs of intoxication, and then their eyes became vacant, as if they had lost their wits.
This was the power of charm art. A person who was strong and adept at charm art could affect those around them in an instant, even control others' minds!
The power of the charm art continued to spread, leaving everyone it touched with vacant eyes, as if their souls had been lost.
Only the two Great Grandmasters remained unaffected.
The aura of enchantment soon enveloped Ye Ling and Chen Dao. Feeling the aura that was enveloping him, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with disdain.
"Would you dare to show off such a petty trick?"
Chen Dao even spoke up with direct coldness.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura of dread exploded from Chen Dao, instantly dispersing the enchanting aura.
As the charm dissipated completely, those with vacant eyes also swiftly returned to their senses, each with a look of confusion in their eyes, as if they had forgotten being influenced by the charm art.
"Charm techniques—among all the martial arts under the heavens, they are but trivial tricks."
Ye Ling also spoke with an air of disdain.
Seeing that her charm techniques had no effect on Ye Ling and Chen Dao, the woman's face suddenly changed.
"Big brother, second brother, let's join forces to take down Ye Ling. Then we can return and report back!"
The woman immediately looked to the two men beside her and said in a deep voice.
All three of them knew that Ye Ling had identified them, so they had no intention of concealing their identities any longer.
The woman's words also directly confirmed Ye Ling's guess, that they, and indeed all of the Wild Wolf Gang's people, were all from the Western Regions.
They had appeared in Jinling City, under the orders of that person from the Western Regions, to act against the Lin family!
"Good! Let's attack together!"
One of the Great Grandmasters immediately responded.
