Chapter 1010:
“Enough!” The Red Robed Sect Leader blushed deeply this time, her face turning as red as her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, alright, I can’t beat you. But I want to tell you, I’m here to take your life!”
“Okay then, come on!” Ye Chen grinned and said.
“Attack!” The Red Robed Sect Leader immediately ordered her four formidable subordinates to step forward, along with dozens of Church Guards charging in together. A chaotic battle erupted on the scene. The Red Robed Sect Leader had four great fighters under her command, all personally trained by her. It was now their turn to step up and lead the charge.
The Red Robed Sect Leader didn’t remain idle either; she swooped down toward Ye Chen with the agility of a leaf in the wind. Ye Chen was mesmerized by her graceful movements, feeling as though he’d seen such a sight somewhere before. He had never consciously thought about where he might have seen her, nor did he consider how strangely familiar this figure was to him.
“Whoosh…”
The blade in the Red Robed Sect Leader’s hand grazed past Ye Chen’s shoulder. A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes. She initially intended to give her all in a fight but was startled to find Ye Chen standing motionless in front of her, as if waiting for death. Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly withdrew her strength, so that in the end, the blade simply grazed past Ye Chen’s shoulder, thankfully causing no serious harm.
“Are you… are you okay?” the Red Robed Sect Leader asked nervously.
“Haha, what’s wrong? Feeling sorry for your husband?” Ye Chen sported a smug grin, seemingly having anticipated this result already. He was certain that the Red Robed Sect Leader couldn’t bear to kill him, though he wasn’t sure why; nonetheless, he was very sure.
“You… you scoundrel!” The Red Robed Sect Leader suddenly cursed. “I thought giving you a lesson would make you repent, but you… you’re infuriating me to death!”
“If you have the ability, kill me. I’ll stand right here without moving an inch!” Ye Chen laughed heartily.
Those words greatly angered the Red Robed Sect Leader. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, fine, fine! I’ll kill you today so that in your next life you can learn a lesson, instead of being born a scoundrel that disgusts people!”
With that said, the Red Robed Sect Leader decisively flew toward Ye Chen. True to his word, Ye Chen stood motionless in front of her. The Red Robed Sect Leader was already airborne, biting her lip, her bright eyes fixed on Ye Chen. She was torn; even after taking to flight, she was still conflicted about what to do. If killing Ye Chen was necessary to complete her mission, she’d rather let herself be killed than accomplish her task.
To die in the arms of the one she loves was more comforting than committing suicide. At least she could die in her beloved’s embrace.
The Red Robed Sect Leader was lost in confusion. When she came to, she found herself in Ye Chen’s embrace. Ye Chen’s lips curled into an evil smile as he said, “What? Still confused when trying to kill someone? You simply don’t want to kill me, do you?”
“You…” The Red Robed Sect Leader froze and then gritted her teeth, saying, “Ye Chen, I advise you to find a place to hide quickly, or else the Church Court’s powers will definitely be beyond what you can resist!”
“Haha, when the leader of the Church Court is lying in my embrace, wouldn’t the Church Court be marching under my command in the future?” Ye Chen laughed aloud.
“Are you truly foolish or just pretending to be?” The Red Robed Sect Leader glared at Ye Chen, saying, “Do you think the Red Robed Sect Leader is the head of the Church Court? You must be very naive!”
“Ah?!” Ye Chen was taken aback, staring incredulously at the lovely person in his arms. He had just been thinking about uncovering her veil to see her true face but was completely taken by surprise by her words, forgetting everything else. He hurriedly said, “Isn’t that how the Church Court operates? One Red Clothes Great Master and three White-clothed Great Masters controlling all the Church Court’s powers? The White-clothed Great Masters report to the Red Clothes Great Master, each with their own duties, and the Red Clothes Great Master manages the Church Court? Can’t it be mistaken?”
“Hmph, you’re wrong, so very wrong!” The Red Clothes Great Master smiled coldly. She took advantage of Ye Chen’s unpreparedness, flipped herself out of his embrace, and from afar looked at Ye Chen, saying, “The Red Robed Sect Leader in the Church Court is nothing more than a pawn; the true controllers in the Church Court are certainly not the so-called Grand Sect Leader but others. I’m telling you, their strength is formidable, certainly not something you can resist. So Ye Chen, I advise you to find a place to hide quickly. Otherwise, when the day comes, you won’t be able to escape!”
“Alright then, let the so-called controllers of the Church Court show themselves. I’d like to see how strong they really are!” Ye Chen laughed coldly.
“Hmph, we’re leaving!” The Red Robed Sect Leader pointed the way, then led her men swiftly away.
“Don’t chase them!” Ye Chen immediately waved his hand. The Heavenly Reversal Gang and Jimmy stopped their pursuit immediately. Feng Zhixiao curiously asked, “Brother Chen, why don’t we pursue them? If we don’t chase them now, they’ll come back again later!”
“Don’t pursue a desperate enemy!” Ye Chen replied casually, then turned back to the Royal Palace. Once Ye Chen returned, he quickly gathered some of his core members. Feng Zhixiao and Jimmy assembled, as did Li Tieniu and Da Hei. The two hadn’t participated in the battle outside the city but knew what happened. They thought Ye Chen summoned them this time to discuss attacking the Church Court.
“Brother Chen, is it time to discuss attacking the Church Court?” Everyone asked eagerly.
“No!” Ye Chen immediately waved his hand, saying, “This time, there’s something important I need to discuss with all of you!”
“What is it?” Everyone asked curiously.
If Ye Chen deemed it important, then it surely was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have urgently gathered everyone. They sat upright, and although the meeting room was simply decorated, who could know that it would become the most globally focused point in the future, with every piece of news from here attracting the attention of national leaders everywhere.
Ye Chen glanced at everyone and said, “Regarding the Church Court!”
“The Church Court?” Li Tieniu was surprised and quickly laughed, “Brother Chen, leave this to me. I’ll take two thousand men and head to Italy, and then wipe those guys off the Earth’s surface!”
“Braggart!” Feng Zhixiao laughed coldly. “Even if given twenty thousand men, you might not be able to achieve that!”
“I’ll take two thousand men, acting as two thousand flesh bombs, and completely destroy the Temple of the Gods with suicidal explosions!” Li Tieniu gritted his teeth and said.
“Hey, aren’t our brothers’ lives worth anything?” Feng Zhixiao glared at him. “Besides, what’s the point of blowing up the Temple of the Gods? Their Church Guards are the source of their strength. It’s said they have ten thousand Church Guards; even if two thousand die, eight thousand will remain!”
“Brother Chen, what’s your plan?!” Li Tieniu felt stuck and could only look at Ye Chen foolishly.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “Sigh, some matters are out of one’s control. However, I’m not calling you together today for this matter but for another issue!”
“Another issue?” Everyone focused on Ye Chen again.
“Exactly!” Ye Chen nodded and then said, “Who’s responsible for intelligence?”
“Me!” Da Hei and Feng Zhixiao stood up.
“Let me ask you, who is the Church Court’s leader?” Ye Chen looked at the two seriously. They dared not be careless and hurriedly replied, “The Church Court’s setup is a Red Clothes Great Master and three White-clothed Great Masters, who control all the Church Court’s powers!”
“Hmph, but today, I received news that the Red Clothes Great Master is not the leader of the Church Court; there is someone else!” Ye Chen looked coldly at them and said, “You, as the intelligence system of the Heavenly Reversal Gang, failed to obtain such crucial information — how is your intelligence system working?”
“Ah?” The two were stunned momentarily, bewildered, “Brother Chen, that’s impossible, right?”
“Do you think I would deceive you?” Ye Chen glared at them. The two quickly lowered their heads; indeed, Ye Chen wouldn’t deceive them. As the big boss of the Heavenly Reversal Gang, regardless of perspective, whether he benefits or suffers, he wouldn’t lie to them. However, their intelligence system always indicated the Red Clothes Great Master was the Church Court’s leader and its controller.
“Brother Chen, then we’ll strengthen the intelligence system’s management immediately and reinvestigate the Church Court!” Da Hei hurriedly said.
“Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Such important intelligence not being obtained — your intelligence system is practically useless.”
“Brother Chen, your criticism is justified!” Everyone nodded hurriedly.
After the meeting dispersed, Da Hei and Feng Zhixiao left with grim faces, feeling utterly humiliated as the intelligence system of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Haozi, upon hearing the news, also began reorganizing the intelligence system, placing stricter demands on its personnel.
