442: Chapter 442 The Grand Elder of the Godless Alliance has arrived!

Early the next morning.

Yunnan Province, the Wang Family Compound.

This manor, covering nearly a hundred acres, was situated at the foot of Cang Mountain.

White walls, black tiles, upturned eaves, and bracket sets—everywhere exuded the elegance of a Jiangnan garden.

However, at this moment.

Inside the main hall, there was an air of solemnity and killing intent.

Wang Tianlong, the head of the Wang Family, sat upright in a grandmaster's chair, holding a cup of Pre-Rain Longjing tea, sipping it leisurely.

On the wooden table lay a mobile phone with the speakerphone on.

A woman's voice came from the receiver: "Brother, how is the matter going? Will that Ye Chen finally be dealt with?"

Wang Tianlong smiled slightly.

"Sister, what's the rush?"

"It's only been a few days; how could it be that fast?"

The woman on the other end of the phone was Wang Tianlong's biological sister and the widow of the Third Elder of the Chen Family—Wang Xiue.

Upon hearing this, she immediately became even more anxious.

"How can I not be anxious?"

"My poor husband was kicked to death by him just like that!"

"Brother, you promised me that you would make Ye Chen pay back his blood debt in full!"

Wang Tianlong's brow furrowed slightly.

"Don't worry, sister. When has your brother ever lied to you?"

"The Shenwu Alliance has already made proper arrangements. As long as Ye Chen dares to step foot into Yunnan Province, he won't be coming back."

"Besides..."

He paused, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Even if the Shenwu Alliance fails, we still have a backup plan!"

Wang Xiue's breath hitched: "What backup plan?"

"The people from the Martial Arts Alliance have already begun manipulating public opinion."

Wang Tianlong said meaningfully, "By noon today, all sorts of rumors and gossip about Ye Chen will be flying everywhere. When that time comes, even if he can fight and kill, he'll be too busy dealing with his own problems!"

Wang Xiue's voice lowered: "But didn't you say before? The Shenwu Alliance tried this move once, and it didn't succeed..."

"It's normal that it didn't succeed!"

Wang Tianlong raised an eyebrow, "The Shenwu Alliance spread the rumors domestically, but now Ye Chen has enemies abroad as well. We can just casually spread them overseas..."

"I see!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by Wang Xiue's voice, filled with a mix of surprise and joy.

"By spreading it like that, people will naturally take the risk to enter the country and take action because of those fabricated stories, combined with the grudge of the Manluodi Family!"

"And... more than just one wave!"

Wang Tianlong laughed heartily and stroked his beard: "Exactly. I don't believe that fellow can handle wave after wave!"

Wang Xiue's voice was trembling with excitement.

"That's great! That's great!"

"Brother, when Ye Chen dies, I must cut off his head to offer as a sacrifice to my husband's spirit in heaven!"

Wang Tianlong nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it'll be soon."

"Three days at most, there will be news."

"When the time comes, I will personally deliver his head to you."

Wang Xiue thanked him repeatedly and chatted for a few more moments before hanging up.

Wang Tianlong put down his phone, leaned back in his grandmaster's chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Outside the window, the sun was bright, and the birds and flowers were fragrant.

He picked up his teacup and took a light sip, feeling his mouth fill with flavor and his mood becoming quite pleasant.

Resolving his sister's heartache could be considered settling a major concern.

As for Ye Chen?

Heh, just a dying man, not worth much of his attention.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Once Ye Chen was dead, the Wang Family's status in the Martial Arts Alliance would surely soar.

When that time came...

Forget just Yunnan Province; the entire Southwest region would have to answer to the Wang Family.

Just as he was thinking.

A burst of birdsong chirped incessantly from the branches.

Leaning back in his chair, Wang Tianlong suddenly asked, "What kind of bird is chirping?"

A servant waiting nearby hurried forward and replied with a smile: "Master, it's a magpie, a bird of good tidings! Our Wang Family must have some great joyful news coming!"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Wang Tianlong's face.

"A magpie bringing good tidings? Good! Very good!"

"It seems today is destined to be a good day. Perhaps good news has already come from the Shenwu Alliance's side."

The servant quickly chimed in: "Master is right! What kind of thing is that Ye Chen? How could he be worthy of opposing our Wang Family? With the Shenwu Alliance taking action, it will certainly be a simple matter!"

Wang Tianlong laughed loudly, just about to reward this silver-tongued servant...

Suddenly!

A series of hurried footsteps abruptly sounded from outside the courtyard.

Wang Tianlong frowned and turned toward the door.

The next second.

A disheveled figure stumbled inside.

"Master!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

Wang Tianlong looked closely; the person was none other than Wang Zhaolin.

At this moment, where was any of the dignity expected of the Wang Family's head butler?

His hair was a mess, and his clothes were rumpled, looking exceptionally pathetic.

Wang Tianlong's frown deepened.

"How old are you? Why are you still so frantic, and how did you get yourself into such a state?"

"Weren't you sent to Zhejiang Province to meet with the people from the Shenwu Alliance?"

Wang Zhaolin collapsed to his knees, howling with tears streaming down his face.

"Master! Something huge has happened!"

"That Ye Chen... he knows everything!"

Wang Tianlong's expression changed: "What? What does he know?"

Wang Zhaolin was trembling all over.

"He... he knows about us joining forces with the Shenwu Alliance!"

"Last night, as soon as I left the club, he cornered me!"

"He... he even beat me up!"

Wang Tianlong's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.

"You were cornered by Ye Chen?"

"How could he know you were in Zhejiang Province?"

"And how did he know you would come out of that specific path?"

Wang Zhaolin wanted to cry but had no tears, shaking his head frantically.

"I don't know either!"

"That Ye Chen, along with the Eldest Miss of the Yan Family, Yan Qingwu, cornered me together!"

"They said... they said they found me through some 'Sky Eye' system!"

"Our movements are completely within their grasp!"

Wang Tianlong's face instantly turned dark.

Sky Eye?

He had heard of that thing; it was the most advanced surveillance system in the Dragon Kingdom, claimed to be able to track anyone's movements.

But he hadn't expected...

That it could even track something like this!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and asked coldly.

"And then?"

"Did you confess?"

Wang Zhaolin shuddered, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no! How could I confess? I didn't say a single word!"

They confessed over there.

But he didn't confess here.

So it was as if he hadn't confessed...

Wang Tianlong stared into his eyes and spoke one word at a time.

"Then how did you come back alive?"

"With Ye Chen's ruthlessness, would he let you leave?"

Wang Zhaolin's face stiffened, and then he gritted his teeth.

"He said... he let me come back to bring you a message."

Wang Tianlong's eyes narrowed: "What message?"

Wang Zhaolin swallowed hard.

"He said..."

"He's coming to Yunnan Province today to find you and have an... in-depth chat with you."

"He told you to be prepared, so you won't say he didn't give you a heads-up."

Wang Tianlong was stunned.

He looked at the kneeling Wang Zhaolin in disbelief, his mind a bit of a mess.

"You... what did you say?"

"Ye Chen is coming to Yunnan Province? To find me?"

Wang Zhaolin, kneeling on the ground, nodded with a face full of woe.

Wang Tianlong was completely stunned.

He never expected...

Ye Chen would actually come!

And he was coming of his own accord!

He even wanted to have an "in-depth chat"?

Chat about what?

Chat about how to kill him???

Wang Tianlong took a deep breath, trying to force himself to calm down.

"What about the Shenwu Alliance? Is there any news from Gongyang Shou?"

"Didn't they say they had already made arrangements? Didn't they say as long as Ye Chen stepped foot into Yunnan Province, he wouldn't return?"

"Now Ye Chen is about to arrive at our doorstep—where are their people? Where the hell did they go?"

Wang Zhaolin knelt on the ground, shivering, not daring to utter a single word.

He wanted to know too!

But who could he ask?

Wang Tianlong paced back and forth in the main hall, his face so dark it could drip ink.

"No, we can't just wait like this."

"Contact the Shenwu Alliance immediately and ask them what exactly is going on!"

"Also, call all the family guards over; have them fully armed and on standby!"

"Furthermore, notify the Martial Arts Alliance and say..."

Before he could finish.

A series of hurried footsteps once again came from outside the courtyard.

Another servant rushed in.

"Master!"

"Someone is outside requesting an audience!"

Wang Tianlong's steps halted, and he turned sharply: "Who?"

The servant spoke directly.

"The... the leader is a man named Gongyang Shou!"

"He says he is the Great Elder of the Shenwu Alliance!"
