Chapter 595 Ambition
Yao Yunfei's success today is not solely due to the inherent advantages of Fengyang Prefecture, but also because of his prudence and resourcefulness.
During the day, when he was on the city platform, he sensed that Lin Ping was different and predicted that Lin Ping would come to rescue Jiang Yunying.
And one could tell from Lin Ping's eyes that this was his true opponent.
Therefore, he didn't take Gu Qingyun and the others seriously at all.
The deliberate act of letting those experts chase after him was to lure Lin Ping into a trap, allowing them to wait and catch him like a turtle in a jar.
Yao Yunfei had to admire Lin Ping's investigative abilities; he had managed to find this place in just a quarter of an hour.
The more this happened, the more interesting Yao Yunfei found it.
Only a strong opponent can excite him and give him a sense of accomplishment.
"My wife!" Lin Ping glanced at Jiang Yunying, who was locked in the iron cage, and felt a piercing pain.
She was the Princess of Huai'an, a standout in the Lotus Palace, showered with love and affection. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Jiang Yunying has been tormented for the past few days.
Having witnessed the strength of the Nightmare Palace experts, she completely gave up resisting and didn't even want the Lotus Palace people to come and rescue her.
Because coming here would only mean certain death.
Just as she was losing consciousness, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, and her head went "buzz" as if it had exploded.
"Husband, run! You're no match for him!" Jiang Yunying shouted hysterically.
These past few days, she has been imprisoned in a dark dungeon, suffering endless torment. Only when she thinks of Lin Ping will a smile inexplicably appear on her lips.
Because of this, the enemy mistakenly thought he was insane.
She had dreamed of seeing Lin Ping again, but now that she had finally met him, she couldn't feel happy at all.
With Lin Ping and Guo Zhixi's abilities, Jue Mei might be able to rival the local level.
"My wife, don't worry, I will not only rescue you, but also kill Yao Yunfei to avenge you." Lin Ping smiled faintly at Jiang Yunying, his smile as bright and radiant as the sun.
It seemed to dispel the darkness in the dungeon and bring hope to Jiang Yunying.
She never doubted what Lin Ping said, but given the current situation, there was no way she could win.
Putting aside how powerful the experts of the Nightmare Palace are, Lin Ping couldn't even open this iron prison.
"He's certainly got a lot of bravado, but I wonder how much real strength he actually has," Yao Yunfei said coldly, treating Lin Ping's words as mere boasting.
He dismissed all his guards because he was determined to win.
Why would we need to deploy a large army to deal with a few greenhorns?
"Senior sister, you hold off the Nightshade Palace experts, I'll go kill Yao Yunfei," Lin Ping said without any pretense, deliberately revealing the battle plan to her.
"Kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability!" Yao Yunfei laughed loudly.
After all, he was a master of the Black Lotus Realm, and even if he was no match for Lin Ping, he could still hold out for a few rounds.
By then, the experts from the Nightmare Palace had already killed Guo Zhiqian and immediately came to Yao Yunfei's aid.
"Junior sister, you are no match for him. Wei Yueyan of the Nightmare Palace is at the peak of the Black Lotus Realm. Quickly take your husband away and don't let him cause any more trouble here." Jiang Yunying shouted loudly, not hiding her relationship with Lin Ping from Guo Zhixi.
"Senior sister, he's your junior brother. When did he become your husband?" Guo Zhixi pretended not to know about her relationship with Lin Ping to avoid embarrassment later.
“Junior sister, you grew up with me since you were little. If others don’t understand you, how could I not understand you? You have known about my relationship with my husband for a long time, and you also know the purpose of my husband’s entry into the Lotus Palace. The reason you didn’t expose him is because you also like him.”
Jiang Yunying smiled faintly and continued:
“I am a dying man, and there will be no good outcome between me and my husband. Take him away quickly, leave Fengyang Prefecture, leave Lotus Palace, go anywhere, just don’t worry about world affairs anymore, and don’t seek revenge for me. I just want him to live a good life.”
"My husband has a soft heart. As long as you treat him well, he will fall in love with you sooner or later. Only you are worthy of giving my husband happiness."
As she spoke, tears welled in Jiang Yunying's eyes, but a smile remained on her lips.
"My wife, do you treat me like an object? You think you can just give me away to whomever you want? I'm a person with flesh and blood too, and this time, I won't let you have my way!"
After saying that, Lin Ping rushed towards Yao Yunfei, his long sword flashing in the air.
"With this little strength, you think you can kill me?" Yao Yunfei said disdainfully, drawing his longsword to defend himself.
At the same time, Wei Yueyan of the Nightshade Palace also made her move. Her dark figure instantly disappeared into the night, and when she reappeared, her sharp short sword was already held in front of Guo Zhixi's neck.
"Such speed, probably on par with Jiang Mo." Guo Zhixi took a few steps back, the blade almost grazing her throat as she barely dodged the attack.
At this moment, Lin Ping had already arrived in front of Yao Yunfei, his steps becoming larger and larger, his sword flashing, and he brushed past Yao Yunfei.
"Is it to go to the back to rescue people? I'd like to see what makes you think you can rescue people."
Yao Yunfei then understood Lin Ping's intention: not to fight him, but to rescue Jiang Yunying as soon as possible.
If they could rescue Jiang Yunying, they would have another helper, which would increase their chances of escaping even if they couldn't defeat her.
"Husband, why are you doing this? The Xuan Tie Prison cannot be opened." Jiang Yunying shook her head helplessly.
She had no regrets about dying because she was able to get close to Lin Ping, but now that she was deep behind enemy lines, Lin Ping had no chance of escaping.
"ah!"
Lin Ping slashed fiercely at the iron cage with his sword, sparks flying everywhere.
However, apart from the crisp sound, the iron cage showed no signs of damage, but his sword blade had begun to curl at the edges.
“It’s no use. Ordinary swords and blades can’t cut through the Xuan Tie Prison.” Jiang Yunying said with tears streaming down her face. She clearly saw that Guo Zhixi had been defeated and was lying on the ground, barely alive.
She was sent flying by Wei Yueyan's palm strike. Although it hit her arm, it still spurted out a mist of blood. In the end, she lay on the ground with a pale face, clearly not very alive.
"As expected of Mr. Yan, you defeated a top expert from the Lotus Palace with a single palm strike. Unifying the Wu Kingdom is just around the corner," Yao Yunfei said obsequiously.
"Yao Yunfei, you'd better prepare enough silver to get Dou Muxie to take action, otherwise, I'm not confident I can help you destroy the Wu Kingdom," Wei Yueyan said coldly.
“Mr. Yan is right. I’m raising the money, and I’m sure it will satisfy Mr. Xie,” Yao Yunfei said, rubbing his hands together, his eyes filled with the beauty of the landscape.
It would be a lie to say that Yao Yunfei, as the most powerful city lord, had no ambition.
Over the years, he had been actively preparing, and just when he was about to take action against the Wu Kingdom, the Lotus Palace suddenly appeared. Although it would help him destroy the king, it would share the Wu Kingdom with him.
Yao Yunfei's immense power made him somewhat arrogant. He was unwilling to share power with others, so he planned to destroy the Lotus Palace first, and then destroy the monarch.
