Chapter 1429: Chapter 1320: Hong Clan’s Territory
Ye Qingfeng’s mouth was right by Shui Yiyi’s ear, and his breath as he spoke brushed against her fair, smooth ear and neck, causing a tingling sensation.
Ye Qingfeng’s words made her blush even more, lightly biting her red lips, unsure how to explain.
"This Ye Qingfeng, why did he suddenly ask such a question? How should I respond? I can’t just say I came to offer myself, but unexpectedly ran away shyly when I found Bu Fan in your room." Shui Yiyi thought with embarrassment in her heart.
Without waiting for Shui Yiyi’s response, Ye Qingfeng gave a light smile.
"Wait for me to return, and then we can cherish our time together." Ye Qingfeng’s breath was hot against Shui Yiyi’s ear.
"Ah!"
Shui Yiyi’s pretty face turned as red as a ripe peach.
When she lifted her head again, Ye Qingfeng was already gone.
"Hmph, wishful thinking..." Shui Yiyi’s heart fluttered, feeling both shy and somewhat expectant.
"Master’s wife, what did Master just say to you?" Ye Bufan looked up and asked.
"You little kid, don’t ask random questions!"
Shui Yiyi’s face turned red, and she lightly patted Ye Bufan’s head.
——
Ye Qingfeng arrived at the Huayu Group. After a night of cultivation, Zhong Ming and Luo Jiuya had indeed both advanced to the War King Realm.
Of course, Ye Qingfeng had paid the price of four Low Grade Spirit Stones for this.
"Senior Ye!"
Seeing Ye Qingfeng, Luo Jiuya was very excited.
The War King Realm—he had been in seclusion abroad for many years, avoiding all the affairs of the Hong Clan, just to break through to the War King Realm.
Today, he had truly reached the War King Realm, feeling the overwhelming power within him as if he were dreaming.
"Enough with the chatter, let’s go."
Ye Qingfeng said calmly.
"Instructor, where are we going?" Zhong Ming couldn’t help but ask.
"To destroy the Hong Clan!"
...
Hong Clan Headquarters.
At this moment, in a secret meeting room, Mr. Lang sat at the head seat, his gaze coldly sweeping across the room.
Under Mr. Lang’s icy gaze, a group of senior members bowed their heads, not daring to make eye contact.
"How is our influence in Huaxia now?"
Finally, Mr. Lang spoke, his voice low and deep.
"Mr. Lang, most of our forces in Huaxia have already withdrawn, leaving only a few hidden personnel to gather information on Huaxia." Mang Shan said from the sidelines.
He’s Mr. Lang’s strategist, essentially the second in command of the Hong Clan, a multinational gang that needs professionals like him for better management.
"A mere Martial Artist has pushed us to this extent. How on earth are you handling things?" Mr. Lang slammed the table furiously.
Ye Qingfeng was just a Martial Artist with some strength, while their Hong Clan was a major international crime syndicate.
Now, due to various reasons, they were being forced to withdraw from Huaxia.
Everyone bowed their heads even lower, not daring to speak. At this moment, aside from Mang Shan, anyone who spoke would be courting death.
"All these matters are related to that Ye Qingfeng!"
Mr. Lang’s eyes flashed coldly, his tone icy: "This Ye Qingfeng must die!"
"Where is Luo Jiuya? Didn’t they go to Huaxia to personally deal with Ye Qingfeng? What’s the current situation?" Mr. Lang suddenly shifted his focus and asked.
"I don’t know, Senior Luo hasn’t responded for quite a while." Mang Shan shook his head and said.
Luo Jiuya held a very special position in the Hong Clan, virtually uninvolved with Hong Clan’s daily affairs.
In the previous generation, the Hong Clan leader and Luo Jiuya shared a great friendship and provided a lot of assistance for Luo Jiuya’s cultivation.
So, Luo Jiuya had always protected the Hong Clan, helping to expand its influence.
However, after the previous leader passed away, Luo Jiuya no longer concerned himself with Hong Clan affairs, dedicating himself entirely to cultivation.
This time, if not for the incident involving two of their disciples, he most likely wouldn’t have bothered.
"Hmph, out of line. Does he think being a Martial Artist makes him lawless?" Mr. Lang snorted in dissatisfaction.
Luo Jiuya held the equivalent status of an elder in the Hong Clan, but he still had to answer to the Gang Leader.
However, with Luo Jiuya’s strength, he could entirely disregard Mr. Lang, and he had gone to Huaxia without adhering to the Hong Clan’s directives, naturally irking Mr. Lang.
"Mr. Lang, after all, Senior Luo is an accomplished Martial Artist and a friend of the former leader, his status is extremely high, so it’s normal for him to be a bit arrogant, especially since he’s indeed formidable."
Mang Shan said respectfully from the side.
"Formidable? How formidable could he possibly be? More formidable than my mercenary army? He’s just a Peak War General, after years of secluded cultivation, hasn’t even broken through to the War King Realm. Under my artillery, he’d be shattered all the same."
Mr. Lang said disdainfully.
This was the headquarters of the Hong Clan, guarded by thousands of Hong Clan members, all being well-trained gang members with combat power comparable to a Mercenary Army.
They also possessed significant military facilities here, including various firearms and even tanks—albeit light tanks—but still not something an ordinary Martial Artist could handle.
The Mo Country, being close to the United States, with the strength of the Hong Clan, could easily acquire surplus military weapons from the United States via underground channels.
One must know that the United States government has the support of several arms dealers, who support the election of the president, providing many votes, and naturally expect returns.
What they want is, naturally, to sell more arms.
And the Hong Clan, through American arms dealers, could purchase weapons that are hard for ordinary underground forces to obtain.
"Get in touch with Luo Jiuya as soon as possible, I want to know the progress. Wasting so much time on someone as trivial as Ye Qingfeng, truly useless!"
Mr. Lang said, slamming the table fiercely.
After speaking, he got up and left the meeting room.
...
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng and his group were on a plane heading to the United States.
Luo Jiuya’s feelings were very complicated, for after all, he was a member of the Hong Clan.
Now, he finally understood why Ye Qingfeng had spared his life, not to make him a subordinate, but to use him to destroy the Hong Clan.
If someone had claimed they were going to destroy the Hong Clan before, he’d have considered it a huge joke.
But now he truly believed Ye Qingfeng possessed the strength, although aware of the Hong Clan’s foundation, guarded by a Mercenary Army, equipped with modern military gear.
Though it was surplus from the United States, the United States was the only superpower at the time, especially in military prowess.
Therefore, even the surplus military equipment from the United States was formidable, even superior to the military equipment of many third-world countries.
This illustrates the military strength of the Hong Clan.
