Yao Yue was not too excited. He had already expected the Nangong Clan to agree to his request. "Alright. Let's head over to the Fiend Slayer Pagoda to congratulate them."
"The Fiend Slayer Pagoda has already been sealed," Nangong Cai said with a sullen face.
Yao Yue walked over and patted Nangong Cai's shoulder. "Now that the Long Clan has taken 30% of the Nangong Clan's income, the Fiend Slayer Pagoda should also have 30% of the Fiend Slayer Pagoda. Who dares to seal the Long Clan's property in the imperial city? They must be tired of living!"
Nangong Cai met Yao Yue's gaze, and a smile suddenly appeared on his double chin.
"That's right. The Fiend Slayer Pagoda's property is now yours as well. Whoever seals the Fiend Slayer Pagoda is going against your boss. We'll go kick their legs right away!" Nangong Cai said excitedly.
"Big Brother Xiao, how many men can you mobilize?" Yao Yue asked.
"Our Long Clan doesn't have many generals in the city, but mobilizing two to three hundred men is not a problem. However, if we want to mobilize the Fierce Tiger Cavalry, we need the general's permission," Xiao Zhan replied.
"So be it. Just make it big. I want everyone in the imperial city to know that the Nangong Clan is under the protection of the Long Clan!" Yao Yue said domineeringly.
Nangong Cai sobbed gratefully, "Boss is indeed the boss. I'll follow you from now on!"
"Cut the crap. We are now in the same boat. If your Nangong Clan tries to burn the bridge after crossing the river, don't blame my Long Clan for turning against you!" Yao Yue warned Nangong Cai seriously.
"Boss, don't worry. As long as I still have a breath left in me, I will fulfill my promise today!" Nangong Cai said solemnly as he patted his fat chest.
It was also at this moment that Yao Yue finally had a new friend. This was also the first brother he could confide in.
"Alright, let's go. Big Brother Xiao will be here soon. Let's see what those clowns can do then!" Yao Yue said as he patted Nangong Cai's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, Boss, get in my car!" Nangong Caicai bowed happily.
Yao Yue and Nangong Cai boarded the luxurious carriage pulled by 4 Great Wan Colts and headed towards the Devouring Demon Pagoda.
Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, quickly ran in another direction. He was going to invite the other soldiers.
After Yao Yue and Nangong Cai arrived at the Fiend Eating Pagoda, Yao Yue discovered that the usually bustling Fiend Eating Pagoda had become a place where everyone avoided. Everyone actually took a detour around it.
Around them, many people were pointing and whispering about something.
"Oh my, the Devouring Demon Pagoda was doing so well. Why was it suddenly sealed? This is the Nangong Clan's property. It has always been protected by the higher-ups!"
"That's right. The Nangong Clan is one of the four great clans. Many of them are officials in the imperial court. Back then, the previous emperor even came here to eat demon meat. Why was it sealed just like that? Did the Nangong Clan offend someone even more powerful?"
"You guessed right. The Nangong Clan is starting to lose power. I heard that their officials have all been taken down. Soon, their property will be devoured by other clans."
"Lower your voice, don't let others hear you. It's better to keep this to yourself. Don't talk nonsense!"
"How many days has it been sealed?" Yao Yue asked in a deep voice as he looked at the sealed gate of the Flesh-Eating Pagoda.
"It was only sealed yesterday by the Zhu and Fang Clans. However … the ones guarding it should be the Ji Clan!" Nangong Cai whispered into Yao Yue's ear.
"It's the Zhu and Fang Clans again. They really are everywhere. However, it seems like the Ji Clan is the one in charge!" Yao Yue frowned unhappily.
The moment he saw Zhu Fengbo, Fang Chunlan, and Fang Chuncao, he could not help but feel angry. They were the ones who had forced his mother to commit suicide. If he had the chance, he would not let these two clans off.
"The Ji Clan is very powerful now. Our Nangong Clan cannot afford to offend them. However, they should be working for the Third Prince!" Nangong Cai said.
These two sentences of his had undoubtedly pointed out a lot of complicated relationships in the dark!
With Yao Yue's intelligence, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Let's go. I don't care what kind of prince he is. He can't seal the Devouring Demon Pagoda for no reason!" Yao Yue said disapprovingly.
He was no longer the old Yao Yue. He was aware of many things and knew what to do. In any case, he had the old man's backing. There was nothing for him to worry about.
"Boss, are we just going to go over like this?" Nangong Cai asked worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? This is our territory. Are you afraid that they will eat us?" Yao Yue looked at Nangong Cai with disdain before walking toward the Devouring Demon Pagoda.
There were a dozen or so Imperial Guard soldiers standing guard in front of the Devouring Demon Pagoda. Their posture was quite frightening.
At the same time, the sound of drinking and drinking could be heard coming from the Devouring Demon Pagoda. Clearly, a large group of people were drinking and gambling.
"Who are you? Leave at once. This place has been sealed!" an Imperial Guard shouted when he saw Yao Yue and Nangong Cai approaching.
"You tell him who we are!" Yao Yue instructed Nangong Cai who was standing at the side.
"Yes, boss!"
Nangong Cai replied. He then said to the Imperial Guard, "This is my boss. If you know what's good for you, leave!"
"Haha, your boss is not my boss. Why should I leave? Look carefully. We, the Imperial Guard, are here on business. If you don't leave, we will arrest you and throw you into the prison!" the Imperial Guard laughed.
Yao Yue was speechless. He personally said, "Leave immediately. Who told you to seal the pagoda? Do you have the emperor's orders? If you use the imperial order to seal the pagoda, have you thought about the consequences?"
Yao Yue had read many books in his study at Long Tianba. He had memorized many things. For example, these Imperial Guards were the emperor's personal guards. Only the emperor had the authority to command them. No one else could order them around.
It was obvious that these guards were not sent by the emperor. Otherwise, the Nangong Clan would not have been able to survive until now.
"We, the Imperial Guard, do not need you to tell us what to do. If you don't leave, we will kill you on the spot!" the Imperial Guard said coldly.
At the same time, the dozen or so Imperial Guards nearby surrounded them. Each of them had a fierce look on their faces as if they were about to draw their weapons.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?
I am the prince consort of the Long Clan. Leave immediately. The Devouring Demon Pagoda will be under the protection of the Long Clan from now on! "Yao Yue shouted.
"How dare you! Who doesn't know that the prince consort of the Long Clan is the number one fool in our dynasty? No matter how I look at you, you don't look like a fool at all. How dare you trick us? You are courting death!"
"That's right. Those who dare to impersonate the prince consort should be executed. Let's execute them immediately and report this to General Long."
"He looks like Young Master Nangong Cai, but he is the great Young Master Nangong. Why does he look like a pig? Looks like he is also an imposter."
"Cut the crap. Let's capture them first!"
These Imperial Guards were used to flaunting their prowess. Now that they were facing Yao Yue and Nangong Cai, they began to mock them without restraint.
Just as they were about to capture Yao Yue and Nangong Cai, Yao Yue made the first move.
Bang!
Bang!
His fists were like the wind. Without any warning, they landed on the two closest Imperial Guards.
Not only did he defeat the two Imperial Guards, but he also continued to use his fists and legs to beat up the Imperial Guards around him.
Those Imperial Guards were the weakest Imperial Guards. They were only Yuan Dynasty Soldiers. How could they be a match for Yao Yue?
"Ahhh!"
The dozen or so people rolled on the ground in pain as they screamed miserably.
"You bunch of lackeys! Do you believe that I won't kill you all right now?" Yao Yue hated it when people called him a fool the most.
"How dare you attack the Imperial Guards? You are looking down on the Imperial Guards. You deserve to be executed!" shouted a voice from the Devouring Demon Pagoda.
At the same time, a saber ray enveloped Yao Yue's head. The person wanted to kill Yao Yue with a single slash.
The person's attack speed and strength were not bad. He was at least a Yuan Dynasty Soldier.
"Be careful, Boss!" Nangong Cai shrunk back as he warned Yao Yue.
Yao Yue focused his gaze and took a step to the side. After that, he turned around and executed the Galloping Ox Kick.
That person slashed down from the sky. Since he was at the top, he could no longer change his position. He had already revealed a flaw and was sent flying by Yao Yue's kick to the side.
In the end, he fell heavily to the ground and cried out miserably.
"That's all you're capable of!" Yao Yue spoke with disdain.
At this moment, he didn't fear anyone as long as he didn't encounter a Yuan Dynasty General.
As his strength gradually increased, he possessed the confidence of a cultivator and the domineering demonic energy of the Yao Clan.
All of this had unknowingly affected his character, and he hadn't noticed it yet.
Yao Yue was just about to walk into the Devouring Demon Pagoda when the people inside walked out.
"Who is so daring to look down on us, the Imperial Guards?" An extremely arrogant voice sounded.
A dozen or so people walked out, and the one who spoke was a man in his thirties.
He had a rough appearance and a tall and sturdy body. The military uniform he wore was slightly different from the other Imperial Guards' uniforms. It appeared to be more dignified and dignified.
This person was the Vice Commander of the Imperial Guards, Dong Rui, a mid-level Yuan Dynasty General. He was currently looking down at Yao Yue and Nangong Cai with a condescending gaze.
Beside him were three other deputies, all of whom were low-level Yuan Dynasty Soldiers. The rest of them were Yuan Dynasty Soldiers.
These people were the elites of the Imperial Guards. The dozen or so people from before were only there to make up the numbers.
"So it's you, Young Master Cai. Didn't I say that this place has been sealed?
Don't tell me you still want to disobey? "Dong Rui glanced at Nangong Cai and spoke with disdain.
"This time, it's my boss who came to find you, not me!" Nangong Cai immediately pointed at Yao Yue as if he was afraid of death.
