147: Chapter 147 Archbishop

Words arrived one after another.

Over here, Li Xian and the others listened to Ye Qing's words. As they felt his Aura, a chill even rose in their hearts.

How ruthless!

"If they dare to come again in the future, I won't let them off either."

Li Xian also spoke up; after all, these guys dared to make a move on his turf.

This was simply courting death, tired of living!

A while later.

Atop the city walls.

Many members of the Guard Army looked at the collapsed mountain peak in the distance and couldn't help but start a discussion.

"What do you think the situation is? This time, Brother Ye went alone to chase after the attacker; will there be any problems?"

"Shut your crow's mouth! What problems could Brother Ye have? He is blessed by the heavens; he will definitely be fine!" another person added from the side.

"However, Brother Ye was still too impulsive. He didn't have any spirit weapons following him, yet he just went out like that. We could all see that the attack was a trap!"

"This time, I'm afraid the other party was prepared. The fact that they didn't dare to make a move inside the Barrier proves that."

"However, Marquis Ling Feng and two other Marquis Realm Experts went over just now, along with quite a few Town General experts. If Brother Ye can hold on until reinforcements arrive, he will definitely be fine."

"But, looking at the situation over there, it seems to be over..."

Everyone was exchanging words, and the discussion was getting heated.

A member of the Guard Army looked into the distance, and suddenly, his eyes widened; he simply couldn't believe what he was seeing!

"Look, it's Brother Ye and the others coming back!"

Oh?!

This one sentence attracted everyone's attention. They all looked toward the grove, their gazes landing on Ye Qing.

Ye Qing walked with the strides of a dragon and the step of a tiger, moving with the wind as he emerged from the forest with the others.

Everyone's gaze fell on Ye Qing's clothes, then looked into the distance.

Then back at Ye Qing's clothes.

This... How did Ye Qing do it!

After experiencing such a great battle, he remained completely spotless!

"Brother Ye, are you okay!"

"Yeah, Brother Ye!"

Arriving at the city gate, many members of the Guard Army looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Ye Qing nodded.

He followed Marquis Ling Feng back to the military department.

After staying for a while.

Marquis Ling Feng advised Ye Qing that he should prioritize safety in the future.

While Ye Qing was talking to Marquis Ling Feng.

Qian Tu and Liu Yuan arrived outside the door.

"Old Li, we are leaving!"

This sentence left Li Xian in the room stunned.

These two guys, why are they leaving now?

He knew their original intention for coming was to poach Ye Qing, that good seedling, so he had been guarding against them in every possible way.

But these two seemed determined to wear him down, staying here all along.

He thought they would hold out for a while longer, but he didn't expect them to return so soon.

"Oh, why are you going back so soon? I thought you would stay for quite a bit longer. But it doesn't matter; every journey must come to an end. You should go back; I won't try to keep you."

Li Xian's words left both of them feeling quite helpless.

Is that supposed to be a plea to stay?

You clearly can't wait for us to leave!

Both of them felt stifled in their hearts.

Just a moment ago, King Fenghai had issued an order for them to return to their own Barrier; otherwise, how could they have given up so easily?

"I'm taking Zhong Jiaxing and the others with me, so you should say a few words to them; after all, they are your old subordinates." Qian Tu then looked at Ye Qing in the room.

"Ye Qing, come visit the Jiangcheng Barrier when you have time."

"Alright, I will definitely go if I have the chance." Ye Qing nodded and said.

Currently, the Jiangcheng Barrier had quite a few Divine Artifacts he wanted to obtain, such as the sea stabilizing pearl and the fuxi zither!

There might be others!

However, he hadn't obtained Jing Yao in the Sucheng Barrier yet.

It seemed he needed to speed up his pace!

Li Xian also found Zhong Jiaxing and the others and gave them a few instructions.

Then, Li Xian and the others set off.

Heading outside the Sucheng Barrier.

As they went out, they looked at the ruins of the mountain in the distance.

Now that the dust and fog had dispersed, looking at it was even more shocking.

Meanwhile, the dark figure also returned to the branch.

Many people looked at his appearance, and their expressions turned serious.

"Bishop, what, what happened to you?"

A man looked at the Black-robed figures' appearance, the corner of his mouth twitching, and he hurriedly asked.

Wang Cheng tore off his tattered black robe.

He sat there, gasping for air.

The previous battle kept flashing in his mind, like an inescapable nightmare.

When he originally saw Ye Qing approaching, he thought that this time he would definitely be able to bring back Ye Qing's head, earn a merit, and pave the way for his future promotion to Archbishop of the East China region.

But he didn't expect that.

This time, he had stumbled; not only did he fail to complete the mission of assassinating Ye Qing, but he was also almost slaughtered by Ye Qing!

If it weren't for a cave that helped him cover his tracks, he would already be a ghost under Ye Qing's hand.

Many cultists nearby looked at Wang Cheng, who was panting and looking like a survivor of a disaster, their eyes trembling.

It seemed that Bishop Wang's assassination mission had failed!

However, it was true that Ye Qing had high prestige within the Sucheng Barrier, and Marquis Ling Feng valued him highly.

It seemed that Marquis Ling Feng had made a move, which was why Bishop Wang was in such a sorry state.

"Where is the Archbishop now?"

"He is still in the main hall."

A cultist said. Wang Cheng stood up, but he staggered a step.

He felt that his legs were still weak.

A while later, Wang Cheng arrived at the main hall.

After entering.

A foreign fat man dressed in red robes was sitting on the main seat.

Looking down from above, his Aura of majesty was self-evident.

"Archbishop!"

Archbishop Joseph looked at Wang Cheng and narrowed his eyes.

Why is he in such a sorry state?

Didn't he go to carry out the mission to assassinate Ye Qing?

Looking at this, the assassination failed.

"Did Marquis Ling Feng discover your ambush and make a move?" Joseph said, sighing.

"Alright, no need to say anything. I know your difficulties. If Marquis Ling Feng made a move, your failure was unavoidable."

Joseph thought about his own Realm.

He was currently at the Late General Rank and possessed great strength, but in front of a Marquis Realm Expert, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

"However, the fact that you managed to come back alive is already quite good. Tell me about the situation."

"I didn't encounter Marquis Ling Feng! I was beaten into this state by that kid; our intelligence was wrong!"

This sentence from Wang Cheng left Joseph stunned for a moment!

What!

Marquis Ling Feng didn't make a move!

And didn't ambush Ye Qing?

What was going on?
