Chapter 1358: Chapter 1338: Six Doors! Breaking All Ties!
Upon hearing this, Ye Huan’s face immediately changed, "When did this happen?!"
"A week ago!"
"Why are you only telling me this now?!"
Ye Huan’s expression was grim.
"Master Ye, I had no choice. Your current status is too impressive; there are very few in the world who can compare to you. Your social standing is so high that I can hardly reach it. When the incident first happened, I didn’t dare to call you!"
"Besides, Bing Ning specifically instructed me before, saying that the forces behind her are too powerful! She knows your nature, and if you knew she was abducted, you’d certainly try to rescue her. To avoid you offending the forces behind her and getting into danger, she told me not to contact you!"
"Now, I have no choice left. I have utilized all available resources and energy to try to rescue Bing Ning, but all attempts have been unsuccessful!"
"The only person I can find now is you!"
"Master Ye, please save Bing Ning!"
Zhou Sha pleaded anxiously.
"This is not the time to panic. Tell me the specifics first." Ye Huan said sternly.
"It was like this. Seven days ago, suddenly, a group of powerful people arrived in Celestial Sea city and reached our Silver Bay headquarters. They wanted to take Bing Ning away. The elder leading them said that she wasn’t allowed to continue causing trouble outside and needed to be taken home for an arranged marriage."
"Bing Ning refused even at the cost of her life. Seeing this, I arranged for the Silver Bay enforcers to join the fight, but with a wave of his hand, the elder repelled all of us! Then, with a snort of anger, he knocked Bing Ning unconscious and forcibly took her away!"
"Three days ago, Bing Ning sent me a text message saying she was being forced to marry some scumbag young master from an Ancient Martial Clan, telling me to temporarily take charge of Silver Bay and not to inform you. Her tone was full of despair! After that, I completely lost contact with her; her phone must have been confiscated!"
Zhou Sha anxiously relayed the entire incident to Ye Huan.
Ye Huan’s expression was extremely grave: "Do you know who those people were who took her?"
"I don’t know, but I remember that the group who abducted Bing Ning had an insignia on their shoulders depicting six overlapping doors, and after knocking Bing Ning unconscious, they went southwest."
The clue Zhou Sha provided made Ye Huan recall something from memory, his eyes lit up.
Earlier, when examining the map of the Endless Deep Mountains on the parchment, it seemed he had seen a power named ’Six Doors’ on it!
Ye Huan quickly opened the map, his gaze immediately fixed on a power marked in the southeast edge of the seventh ring area of the Endless Deep Mountains — Six Doors!
The emblem of six doors is rare, and the name of this power matches it perfectly!
Moreover, given that the group headed southwest, Ye Huan is now almost certain that Ye Bingning was abducted by people from Six Doors!
"I understand the situation; I will handle it. Let’s leave it at that, bye!" Ye Huan hung up the phone, took Empress’s hand, and dashed directly toward the Century Vogue Grand Hotel, telling Empress, "The situation is urgent, time is of the essence, quickly pack your luggage, and let’s head to the southwest Endless Deep Mountains."
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Empress nodded firmly: "Alright!"
Returning to the hotel to pack their suitcase, Ye Huan, with Empress, raced towards the mountainous region in the southwest!
...
"Huang Lin, faced with these situations, I am helpless too, it’s not what I wanted!"
"Do you really think I want to be humiliated by Ye Huan flaunting? I don’t want to, and I feel aggrieved because I cannot retaliate against him and in trying to do so, I’m humiliated instead!"
"But there is nothing I can do; Ye Huan is extraordinarily fierce, beyond what I expected!"
"Just like earlier, I knew you had the capability to protect yourself, so I took my people and ran. Otherwise, if I didn’t run, my people and I would have become the souls under Ye Huan’s sword, losing our lives in vain, a massive loss!"
In the southwest of Huaxia, a convoy of vans moved grandiosely along the highway.
In the leading van of the convoy, Zhou Shiguan held a phone in his hand, his expression extremely unpleasant, explaining to Huang Lin the reason for his escape.
Little did he know, Huang Lin wasn’t buying it at all and directly cursed: "I don’t care about your reasons, Zhou Shiguan, the fact that you betrayed and sold me is plain to see. I will remember this grudge, and you can wait for it!"
"I will never help you again, I will never relay the information about the southwest Endless Deep Mountains to you!"
"As for going to the Indian Drug Country to recruit members for the Cyan Dragon Association to expand your power, forget about it, you sold me out, and there’s no way I will help you with such a big task!"
"Zhou Shiguan, damn you, I hate you!"
Huang Lin freely expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Shiguan, launching a tirade of curses.
Spit droplets almost seemed to fly through the phone screen into Zhou Shiguan’s face.
Instantly, Zhou Shiguan was also infuriated; he had never been insulted like this since childhood.
"Huang Lin, I warn you, you must provide the information from the deep mountains! You must relay the intelligence on the Hundred Clans Competition to me immediately! And going to the Indian Drug Country to recruit people for me, you must do this well!"
"I don’t want to fall out with you, as long as you accomplish these tasks and do them well, when you leave, I will continue to arrange for you the super beauties, champagne, luxury cars, money you love, allowing you to revel in your passions night after night."
"But if you don’t do these things, I don’t mind sending those videos of you indulging with women and drinking flower wine in my place to the ’Guardian of the Deep Mountains’!"
"No need for me to say what kind of punishment you’ll receive then!"
With these words, Zhou Shiguan had actually already broken off ties with Huang Lin, making a naked threat!
Huang Lin never expected Zhou Shiguan to be so treacherous: "Damn it, secretly recording?! Zhou Shiguan, don’t you have any shame!"
"Do you think I found women for you without cost? Or did you think I would foolishly do a losing business deal? Without methods to threaten you all, how could I control you to help me do things?" Zhou Shiguan sneered, indifferent to Huang Lin’s accusations.
Hurrying back to the southwest deep mountains, as Huang Lin realized his being caught by Zhou Shiguan, his heart almost froze over.
The ’Guardian of the Deep Mountains’ that Zhou Shiguan mentioned made Huang Lin shudder all over, unable to stop trembling, fear flashing intensely in his eyes!
Yes, the ’Guardian of the Deep Mountains’ is an organization formed by the top experts of the major families who have already retired within the southwest deep mountains to maintain the order in the southwestern deep mountains and supervise the juniors!
This organization has always been extremely strict with juniors, forbidding them from moral corruption and indulgence outside.
Once discovered, the consequences are very serious!
For someone like Huang Lin, who secretly indulges outside, being found out by the Guardians would mean severe punishment, not praise from them!
"Shiguan, let’s talk this over!" In this situation, despite his reluctance, Huang Lin took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "I’ll do what you’ve asked, just don’t send those videos to the Guardians!"
"That’s more like it!" Seeing Huang Lin compromise, Zhou Shiguan’s tone softened a bit.
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
The relationship between him and Huang Lin was originally extremely good, they would affectionately address each other as "Brother Huang" and "Shiguan".
But only they themselves knew everything was merely for the sake of interests.
Huang Lin, who looked down on people from outside, likewise looked down on Zhou Shiguan; only for the sake of benefits and fulfilling his own desires did he connect with Zhou Shiguan through certain special channels and helped Zhou Shiguan.
Zhou Shiguan knew that the Ancient Martial Artists from the southwest deep mountains like Huang Lin despised him, but he didn’t care, as long as he could obtain intelligence from them, it didn’t matter!
Everyone was just serving their own needs!
Using the term "surface brothers" to describe their relationship couldn’t be more fitting.
Their falling out was merely a matter of time.
It only happened a little earlier because of Ye Huan.
