The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 169: The Evil Buddha’s Secret

"Believe, I believe it..."

Liang Wenbo’s lips trembled, and his face turned ashen.

He truly wished this were just a dream.

But reality was cruel.

Never did he expect that Ye Qingtian was actually Ye Xiaoyao.

"Do you regret it?"

Ye Qingtian asked indifferently.

Liang Wenbo was dumbfounded, a chill surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his skull, as if his blood had frozen.

"Hurry up and speak!"

"Slap!"

Liang Jiajun, standing beside, slapped him with frustration and contempt.

The slap knocked out three of Liang Wenbo’s teeth.

"I regret it, Alliance Leader, I regret it. Treat me like a dog, consider my words as nothing, be generous..."

"Thud, thud, thud!"

...

After observing for a while, Liang Wenbo understood.

Ye Qingtian truly was the legendary Ye Xiaoyao.

Knowing that survival is crucial, he kept kowtowing on the ground, the sound echoing loudly.

"Alliance Leader, spare my Liang Family once. We are willing to bear any cost or condition."

Liang Xiaohui shouted anxiously.

He was not only worried about Liang Wenbo’s safety, but also the safety of the entire Liang Family.

The survival of the Liang Family depended solely on Ye Qingtian’s whim.

"Alright."

Ye Qingtian agreed bluntly.

"Huh?"

Ye Qingtian’s straightforwardness left Liang Jiafeng and the others stunned.

They looked at Ye Qingtian with confusion and curiosity, awaiting his next words.

"The condition is to send you to see King Yama! He has been lonely!"

"What?"

Ye Qingtian’s words struck like a thunderclap on a sunny day, crashing down on Liang Xiaohui and the others.

"Meeting King Yama? Doesn’t that mean..."

Liang Xiaohui’s blood surged, his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot from fear.

"Grandfather..."

Liang Wenbo let out a heart-wrenching scream, just as a Qi Force shot through, causing his body to explode.

"The rest is up to you to handle!"

Ye Qingtian said coldly.

A moment later, everything was cleaned up thoroughly.

"Speak, what is your real purpose in coming here?"

Ye Qingtian looked towards Xu Guo’an and Zheng Chengxin.

"Elder Xu, please!"

Zheng Chengxin gestured with his hand.

"Mr. Ye, it’s quite simple, concerning the matter of Evil Buddha challenging you."

"Hmm, go on."

"We know of Mr. Ye’s strength, but this Evil Buddha is terrifyingly powerful, definitely no ordinary person. It’s said that before, he was very close to the Southern Monk of Five Dragons of Huaxia, a long-renowned Elder Martial Emperor. Now he’s come back stronger than ever!

So, it’s best for Mr. Ye to be careful in this battle. As they say, knowing the enemy and yourself leads to a hundred victories without defeat. We’ve prepared a lot of information about Evil Buddha this time, especially his cultivation realm and techniques!"

Xu Guo’an handed over a notebook.

Zheng Chengxin chimed in: "That’s right. It is rumored that all these years Evil Buddha has been studying the devastating move of Evil Buddha’s Celestial Concealment Technique. He might have succeeded! We’ve especially prepared this information about Evil Buddha to help the Alliance Leader defeat him!"

Zheng Chengxin and others all hoped Ye Qingtian would win and naturally tried to increase the chances of victory.

Ye Qingtian glanced at it: "Just kill him, there’s no need for so much fuss."

"Boom!"

A flame arose out of nowhere, turning the notebook into ashes.

"Uh..."

Sweat beads formed on Xu Guo’an’s forehead, his outstretched hand paused in mid-air.

However, miraculously, the flame did not harm him in the slightest.

The others exchanged odd looks, glancing at each other.

Is the Alliance Leader that confident?

No, it seems he’s always been that confident.

The indifference of being above all, paying no heed to anyone, deeply impressed Zheng Chengxin and others.

But the opponent is Evil Buddha, a Great Demon in the Martial Arts Realm.

Yet, everyone know Ye Xiaoyao’s character and dared not say anything more.

"Leave, I need to rest!"

At Ye Qingtian’s command, everyone gradually left.

The Liang Family, however, had no survivors, but this matter wasn’t publicized.

In the afternoon, Fatty, Zhang Chenyi, and others returned.

"Boss, it seems there’s an issue with the company! Our market research ended early, and that annoying guy is gone too."

Fatty said in confusion.

"Hmm, all our internship reports were rated as excellent. Boss, yours is too!"

Zhang Chenyi took out a stack of internship reports.

"Hmm."

Ye Qingtian nodded, indicating he already knew.

At night, a cool breeze blew gently.

By Gua State Lake, Ye Qingtian strolled leisurely.

His phone rang.

"Old friend, there’s a tricky issue involving some taboo matters. I need your help!"

"Oh? What kind of help?"

"Lend me your shadow!"

"Alright!"

Ye Qingtian agreed without hesitation.

The so-called shadow was not Ye Qingtian’s actual shadow.

But the legendary branch of the Shadow Race, born with the concealment technique.

Top-notch in assassination and espionage.

In the prison, the strongest killer hailed from the Shadow Race.

The Shadow Race was dwindling, with only a dozen people left. Many had hinted for Ye to care for them.

Upon release, by chance, Ye Qingtian took in the Shadow Race members.

For the past year, the Shadow Race operated in the shadows, handling external affairs for Ye Qingtian.

For instance, isolating any inquiries about Ye Qingtian from the outside world, purchasing Mountain and River Wonders, and equipping the "Hao" vehicle with parts—all these trivial matters were managed by the Shadow Race.

Only, they never showed themselves.

Recently, Ye Xiaoyao had been causing a ruckus in Huaxia, yet few knew that Ye Xiaoyao was indeed Ye Qingtian, even powerful clans like the Ye Family couldn’t find out.

This was mainly because the Shadow Race blocked all information, leaving no traces for anyone to follow.

Unless you saw it with your own eyes.

"You all go to Tianjing!"

Subsequently, Ye Qingtian dispatched half of the Shadow Race to Tianjing.

The Gua State Lake shore was brightly lit and bustling.

Many bars played melodious folk music.

Tonight, He Tianju brought three classes of students here to have fun.

"Hmm?"

In a fleeting glance, Ye Qingtian saw a man and a woman walking out of the bar.

It was none other than He Tianju and Qin Lingyue.

Qin Lingyue was staggering as if drunk.

As for He Tianju, a smirk played on his lips, revealing his successful plot.

Perhaps due to the wind, Qin Lingyue almost fell after a few steps, her consciousness began to blur, her cheeks flushed, and her body went weak.

He Tianju supported Qin Lingyue, excitement gleamed in his eyes, and he couldn’t wait any longer.

Qin Lingyue’s cheeks were crimson as though about to bleed, her body nearly turned into a puddle of mud, and her consciousness was gradually dissipating.

But now, she understood He Tianju’s intention—her drink had been drugged.

He Tianju made an excuse to talk to her alone, but in reality, it was part of his scheme.

"Someone, please save me!"

Qin Lingyue’s heartfelt plea echoed within her, but there was almost no one by the shore.

No, there was someone over there.

As she drew closer, Qin Lingyue vaguely saw a person and recognized him as Ye Qingtian.

"Save me, please save me..."

Qin Lingyue struggled to lift her eyes, pleading for help.

Ye Qingtian remained indifferent, treating the two like air.
