Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 249 249

Although the four major families of Jiangbei claimed to have some influence, after all, combined, they tried to extend their reach into Jinling, and within a day, they were taken down by the Wuji Group, not amounting to much when compared to Liu Qingyun.

But after all, they were the prestigious noble families of the Jiangbei region, not to mention there seemed to be two iron mines around here. If Ye Ling could take control of the local business, Liu Qingyun would definitely be able to reap even greater benefits.

Ye Ling had not expected the four families to compromise easily, but now thought that if they had already submitted, then let them be, leaving Liu Qingyun with the headache.

If these four families dared to betray and rebel, then it would be a simple matter for Ye Ling to deal with them, no more difficult than two sharp slaps to the face.

Coming to Jiangbei, it only took him a day to resolve the matter.

After thinking it over, Ye Ling simply asked, "What exactly is this Rebirth Sect? They don't seem like any legitimate sect to me."

What legitimate sect would kill indiscriminately after receiving money?

Moreover, the swordsmanship of that effeminate man was extremely sinister, always aiming for the eyes or attacking the lower part of the body, clearly not a person of righteous character.

Since Family Head Song had decided to temporarily align with Ye Ling, he naturally had no intention of keeping secrets from him.

Moreover, he had already given up the Rebirth Sect. If he did not want to be troubled by the sect, it was best to have Ye Ling eradicate them completely.

He said without hesitation, "The Rebirth Sect is the largest sect in our Jiangbei region, extremely powerful. Even if the four major families joined forces, we probably couldn't withstand them."

"However, this Rebirth Sect is very mysterious and usually does not associate with the martial world. But whenever they do emerge, they like to do business with our big families, taking money to eliminate disasters for others!"

"Usually, it is they who come to us. I was able to get their contact by chance, so..."

Family Head Song glanced awkwardly at Ye Ling, which is why they had the crooked idea of hiring the Rebirth Sect to deal with Ye Ling.

For matters that posed no real threat to himself, Ye Ling was surprisingly not very angry, seeing them as nothing more than ants struggling vainly.

Upon hearing this, he nodded, "Since they are no different from an evil cult, then I will eliminate the scourge for the people, and simply destroy them outright."

Ye Ling waved over Ye Jiu and Chen Dao, and led them away directly, leaving only a few words to linger in the wind.

"Sort out your family's business affairs. Tomorrow, have Liu Qingyun come over to manage it. He can draft the specifics of the profit-sharing."

Ye Ling had no desire to manage these business matters; he still had to punish the wicked and promote the good.

After leaving the big estate of Family Head Song, they saw Chen Feng coming in excitedly.

Seeing the trio, he was surprised for a moment, then immediately clasped his hands and greeted, "My lord, I have found out what the Rebirth Sect is all about!"

The Rebirth Sect was not an ordinary sect of martial artists; rather, they should be called wizards.

Wizards, as a group, were clearer in their distinction between good and evil compared to martial artists, usually categorized into white wizards and black wizards.

White wizards typically studied healing and beneficial spells and were mostly mild-mannered.

However, black wizards usually dressed in black robes and were somewhat evil in disposition, fond of researching sinister curses.

The Rebirth Sect was a group of black wizards who enjoyed studying the art of cursing.

And the witchcraft they studied was very strange, such as conjuring fire, thunder, poisonous water, insects, and snakes out of thin air, or casting malevolent spells within a person's body.

After listening to Chen Feng's description, Ye Ling nodded slightly.

But even so, it didn't really matter, since the realm of the Imperial Way already set one apart from the common martial artists.

Unless the Sect Hierarch of the Life After Sect had also reached the realm of the Imperial Way, to someone of that strength, everyone below that realm was mere ants!

Chen Feng was a master of information, and he quickly located the approximate position of the Life After Sect's base.

Ye Ling went with him, and upon arriving, he released his perception of the Imperial Way realm; he discovered anomalies in a valley, leading Chen Dao and the other two straight in.

There stood several lofty mountains, towering from the base to the unseen peaks, surrounded by dense forests.

Among the trees, wooden structures of varying heights were haphazardly nestled.

Midway up the mountains and at the peaks, as well as at the base, many chains made of iron links crisscrossed, with many people directly using these chains to climb from the base to the mid-mountain and peaks—much more convenient than walking.

"Wow, so this is the Life After Sect's base! I thought they lived in some kind of cave; I didn't expect the environment to be quite decent," said Chen Dao, clicking his tongue in admiration as Ye Ling nodded and addressed them, "There must be over a thousand people in the Life After Sect here, not all of them are guilty of murder. We just need to kill the higher-ups."

"Without a leader, the rest will naturally disperse. Intimidate them a bit, and I reckon no one will dare to continue this cult."

Ye Jiu suggested, "My Lord, why not do it this way: directly subjugate them under your command and let Liu Qingyun manage them, to prevent them from causing trouble outside?"

Better to keep them under one's direct observation than to let them roam outside.

Ye Ling thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed. After all, there were mines in the north of the river, and although these people practiced witchcraft instead of physical martial arts like martial artists, their bodies were still much better than ordinary people. Having them mine would be much more efficient than using regular laborers.

Having made up his mind, Ye Ling led Ye Jiu and the other two down the mountain, and as they approached, they were quickly spotted.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" asked a young man in a black robe, his eyes filled with wariness.

Ye Ling stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "We're here to find your Sect Hierarch. Call him out; I have some things to 'consult' him about."

"Ha? Just the likes of you? Looking for our Sect Hierarch?"

The young man burst into laughter, looking at Ye Ling and the others with disdain.

More black-robed figures swarmed over, as the sect's location was hidden, and they rarely had visitors.

Their sect members were not allowed to venture out and accept missions unless their cultivation reached a certain level.

So they were quite curious about the outside world, and now that four outsiders had come, their curiosity piqued.

More and more people gathered around, and someone immediately went to inform the higher-ups.

After all, four outsiders had come, and anyone with eyes could see that all four were martial artists.

Calling out their Sect Hierarch directly indicated that these four must know something about the Life After Sect, whether to kill or otherwise was now a decision for their superiors.

Annoyed, Chen Dao watched the circles of people enclosing them and whispered to Ye Ling, "My lord, it seems like they're treating us like monkeys at a show. Damn it, should I tell them to back off?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, and at that moment, someone who wasn't wearing a black robe approached.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, donned in a red robe.
