Old Friend
Over the next six months, Ye Feng granted Tang Yuehua a great deal of power. This power wasn't related to being a strategist; it was simply the authority to manage daily affairs.
Tang Yuehua was very shrewd. She knew that the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, and she also knew that Ye Feng was playing a cat-and-mouse game with her. Ye Feng was the cat, Tang Yuehua was the mouse.
Tang Yuehua endured the pain of her sect's destruction, biding her time and seeking an opportunity to retaliate.
Three years later, Bibi Dong happily appeared before Ye Feng.
"It's a success!" Bibi Dong congratulated.
"What succeeded?" Ye Feng asked.
"Before I answer you, you should meet someone first."
"Who?"
"You can come in now."
Bibi Dong finished speaking, someone walked into the room.
A man entered the room. His long, unruly blond hair cascaded down his back, and his eyes had double pupils.
"Dai Mubai."
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Dai Mubai was even taller and more imposing than he was at fifteen, exuding an aura of authority and authority. This improvement in his demeanor suggested that his cultivation had also progressed significantly over the years.
Since the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Dai Mubai seemed to have vanished into thin air. Even his father, Dai Aotian, had no idea where Dai Mubai had gone.
Ye Feng looked Dai Mubai up and down again.
Dai Mubai had blond hair, an extremely imposing physique, an ancient and handsome face, and a broad, resolute appearance. He looked to be in his thirties and exuded an ancient and majestic aura, as imposing as a towering mountain. His sharp aura showed no fear even when facing the numerous First-Level God. In particular, there was a peculiar pattern between his eyebrows.
"Ye Feng, it's been a long time."
Dai Mubai's tone was flat, and no change in his inner emotions could be heard.
"You have obtained the Nine Trials of the Gods?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes." Dai Mubai nodded. A rare smug smile appeared on his lips.
"Which deity's test was it?"
"War God."
"The War God?"
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.
In the original storyline, Dai Mubai was supposed to obtain the position of Second-Level God, the God of War God. Unexpectedly, due to Ye Feng's intervention, Dai Mubai ultimately only received the position of Second-Level God, the God of War God.
"Um."
Dai Mubai nodded smugly. Having passed the War God Nine Trials, he now had a chance to become a god like Ye Feng and Bibi Dong.
"What good news do you want to tell me?" Ye Feng asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, you entrusted Tang Yuehua with an important task. On the surface, it's to tell the world that you have a tolerant heart and are willing to spare Tang Yuehua's life. In reality, you want Tang Yuehua to commit a serious crime, so that you can punish Tang Yuehua without seriously harming the United Federation of Nations, and also use Tang Yuehua to find all the Clear Sky Sect disciples who went out for training. Is that right?" Dai Mubai asked.
"Um."
Ye Feng nodded.
Ye Feng's actions are strikingly similar to those of the Pure Stream Party during the Ming Dynasty in the China Plane. While the Pure Stream Party claimed to be upright, they actually relied on certain means to achieve their own goals.
Ye Feng entrusted Tang Yuehua with an important task, intending to make Tang Yuehua commit a grave mistake so he could sentence her to death and eliminate all remaining members of the Tang Yuehua Clear Sky Sect.
"Then you can start now."
Dai Mubai flicked his finger, and some letters were taken out from his Storage Soul Guidance Device: "These are letters from Tang Yuehua. She contacted me secretly a year ago, tempting me in the name of restoring the country. She hoped that I would join her in overthrowing the United Federation of Nations. In addition to the letters between us, there is also a list of the remaining disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. For the past six months, she has been relying on me to contact the remaining disciples of the Clear Sky Sect."
Dai Mubai spoke, he took out a map and a small notebook.
Ye Feng opened the map. It marked several shops in Spirit City. Not just one, but many. Ye Feng hadn't expected Tang Yuehua to bypass him and secretly plant so many accomplices in Spirit City.
"Besides the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect who are seeking revenge, there are also forces from the Heaven Dou Empire and many kingdoms and duchies who are attempting to restore their former power."
As Dai Mubai spoke, he took out another list.
Ye Feng opened it and took a look. Apart from the troops of the Heaven Dou Empire and many kingdoms and duchies, there were no troops of the Star Luo Empire.
Don't the conservatives in the Star Luo Empire want a restoration?
Obviously not.
Ye Feng looked at Dai Mubai and closed the register. He knew Dai Mubai was intentionally protecting and favoring the restorationists of the Star Luo Empire: "Why are you helping me?"
"Do I need to ask?" Dai Mubai asked in return.
"Zhu Qing is my woman now. I can't find a reason for you to help me?" Ye Feng looked at Dai Mubai with unease. He couldn't figure out Dai Mubai's motives for helping him.
Moreover, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were originally engaged. But what happened? It was all because of Ye Feng. Because of Ye Feng, Zhu Zhuqing lost patience with Dai Mubai and instead developed feelings for Ye Feng.
The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable.
Ye Feng couldn't find a reason for Dai Mubai to help him.
"Because of Tang San!" Dai Mubai answered Ye Feng's question with a light clench of his fingers.
"Tang San?" Ye Feng was taken aback and asked curiously, "What happened to Tang San?"
"If I hadn't listened to Tang San and left Shrek Academy, I wouldn't be in this state now. If I hadn't left Shrek Academy, your glory would be my glory. I wouldn't be unable to go home. So, I hate Tang San. However, I also thank Tang San. These years of traveling the continent have actually allowed me to obtain the War God Nine Trials," Dai Mubai replied.
In fact, Dai Mubai did not know that even without Tang San, he had obtained the War God Nine Trials in the original storyline.
"Is that your reason?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes."
Dai Mubai turned around and said, "What you do next is up to you. I'm leaving. If I hadn't obtained the War God Nine Trials in the past six months and ascended to the Divine Realm in the future, I might not have helped you. I would have chosen to restore the Star Luo Empire."
With a thought, Dai Mubai vanished from his spot. In just a few short years, he had actually reached the level of Titled Douluo through his own cultivation.
"Dai Mubai, if each of your War God Nine Trials has a ten-year time limit, I suggest you go to Sea God Island to traverse the Sea God's Light and Tidal Body Tempering." Ye Feng's voice was compressed into a line and accurately reached Dai Mubai's ears.
"Peak."
Bibi Dong asked, "Are you helping him?"
Ye Feng nodded. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. There's nothing wrong with helping a friend. Relying on the Sea God's Light and Tidal Body Tempering of Sea God Island, I can raise his Soul Power Level and strengthen the body of the future War God of War. Consider it my way of returning the favor."
"That..."
Bibi Dong looked at the map and roster Dai Mubai had given her on the table and asked, "Can we take action now?"
