Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes Ye Fei’s gaze turned cold. He had originally intended to wait and see if he could lure out the person behind Zhao Anguo, but now he no longer wanted to wait. Just based on the grandson’s few words, he had already decided to kill him and was about to make his move.

However, at that very moment, an unexpected change occurred.

”Hmm... hmm... hmm...” A sinister, nasal laugh suddenly echoed through the hall. Though the volume was not high, it drowned out the noise of the crowd.

Hearing this laughter, Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel a jolt. It wasn’t because the laughter contained any formidable power, but because it was strikingly similar to the sound of the boss Vega’s entrance in Street Fighter III.

It was so similar that Ye Fei almost saw the scene of a figure in a city management uniform slowly descending from the sky.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared above the crowd in the hall and slowly floated down. However, this figure’s attire was even more outdated than Vega’s city management uniform—a black robe covered his entire body. Without the laughter, no one could even tell his gender.

Upon seeing this figure, Zhao Anguo, who had just been extremely arrogant, immediately became a sycophant. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, ”Welcome, Master!”

Bu Jinghuo and the others prostrated themselves and shouted in unison, ”Welcome, Supreme Lord!”

”Hmm.” Facing the greetings of Zhao Anguo and the others, the black-robed figure, who had finally landed, merely made a faint, nasal sound. He then directly asked Zhao Anguo, ”Why haven’t you made your move yet?”

Zhao Anguo replied cautiously, ”They have just been poisoned. There’s plenty of time. I wanted to settle some personal grudges first.”

Logically, Zhao Anguo’s request was not excessive. However, the black-robed figure clearly understood the principle that ”villains die from talking too much” and was not about to give Zhao Anguo a chance. He said coldly, ”If you don’t want to make a move, then I’ll do it!”

Hearing the black-robed figure’s words, everyone in the hall was secretly alarmed, including the Great Perfection cultivators. Judging by the overwhelming pressure emanating from the black-robed figure, his strength had already exceeded people’s imagination.

Even without being poisoned, these Great Perfection cultivators would not be a match for him, let alone now that they were poisoned.

Now it was just a matter of seeing who he would kill first. However, even if someone was the last to die, they would only live a few moments longer than the others.

The black-robed figure had barely finished speaking when he stretched out his hand in a direction. Oddly enough, the direction his hand was pointing was where the General’s Mansion group was located.

In the blink of an eye, Bu Jinghuo, Chuchenzi, and two Great Perfection cultivators from the Ye Ling Sect were helplessly drawn towards the black-robed figure.

With an unknown technique, he merely patted the four of them lightly, and they immediately died, their life force extinguished.

Not even their soul infants managed to escape, indicating that he had annihilated both their physical bodies and soul infants.

This sudden turn of events almost scared Zhao Anguo to death. He quickly said, ”Master, why did you kill them? They are Great Perfection cultivators and would have been a great help to me in the future!”

”This world needs only war and slaughter. It doesn’t need Great Perfection cultivators!” The black-robed figure said, slightly raising his head as if looking at something. Although no one could see his face, almost everyone could sense his fervor at that moment.

Since the black-robed figure had first appeared, Ye Fei had been quietly observing everyone in the hall, trying to see if there were any accomplices of the black-robed figure besides the General’s Mansion group.

He didn’t find any accomplices, but he did notice that after the black-robed figure spoke, everyone else’s expressions were normal.

Those who should have been worried were worried, and those who should have been afraid were afraid.

The only exception was the twin sisters Jiang Ruoyu and Jiang Ruoyun. Their expressions became subtly different, and their eyes even showed a hint of fear, which they hadn’t shown before, even when they knew their lives were in danger.

Ye Fei silently noted the sisters’ unusual behavior and shifted his attention back to the black-robed figure, while remaining vigilant.

He didn’t care about the others, but if the black-robed figure dared to attack anyone from the Cuiyan Sect or the Qinglian Sect, he would not stand idly by.

Zhao Anguo was stunned by the black-robed figure’s words and asked, ”Master, didn’t you say you would help me enhance my cultivation? Why are you saying that Great Perfection cultivators are not allowed to exist? What will I use to dominate the world after I unify it?”

”I lied. No world can be unified,” the black-robed figure said bluntly. ”Now you have no value to me...”

”No, Master, don’t kill me!” Zhao Anguo shouted desperately, finally realizing that the black-robed figure had already mentioned that this world needed only war and slaughter.

If he unified the world, where would the war come from?

He should have thought of this earlier, but unfortunately, he had been completely blinded by the allure of being the ruler of the world and had lost his sanity.

The black-robed figure was unmoved. ”Even if I spare you, you will face endless pursuits in the True Emptiness Realm. Dying by my hand will be painless, at least. You helped me, so this is the last thing I can do for you.”

”Stop!” Just as the black-robed figure finished speaking and was about to kill Zhao Anguo, Zhao Zichen, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and shouted.

”Aunt, save me!” Zhao Anguo’s eyes brightened as if he had found a lifeline, but then they dimmed again. He realized that even if Zhao Zichen hadn’t been poisoned, she wouldn’t be a match for the black-robed figure. How could she save him?

The black-robed figure gave Zhao Zichen a bit of face and temporarily halted his action. He turned to look at her and asked, ”What? You don’t want him to die?”

”This kind of person deserves to die!” Zhao Zichen glanced coldly at Zhao Anguo, whose face had turned ashen, and said, ”But he is from my Nuwa Palace. I must be the one to cleanse the family!”

The black-robed figure said, ”What if I insist on killing him?”

”Then you’ll have to get past me first!” Zhao Zichen replied coldly.

”Very well! I’ve heard that you are the number one cultivator in the True Emptiness Realm. I was curious to see for myself. Here is the antidote,” the black-robed figure said, producing a pill in his hand and casually tossing it towards Zhao Zichen.

However, Zhao Zichen coldly replied, ”I don’t need it!” With a flick of her sleeve, she sent the pill flying away. It didn’t return to the black-robed figure’s hand but instead flew to one of the two Great Perfection cultivators from the Nuwa Palace.
