Chapter 311: Volume-3 Chapter-13!
The blood demon lord already hated the bastard.
He had escaped for his life, leaving Qin Feng alone to fend for himself.
Moreover, he even abandoned everyone, including the Eastern Sovereign Hall.
In his eyes, Ye Ming was nothing but a selfish bastard.
Ashen, however, didn't think of his decision to run as something to be condemned for.
Anyone could prioritize their life; they had that right above everything else.
If Ashen didn't have to kill him, maybe he would even appreciate the bastard.
He explained:
"Ye Ming has the ability to travel through darkness. Moreover, he has a puppet. He is perfect for stalling time till my grandfather arrives. Don't you think?"
Ashen didn't have to explain in detail about how Ye Ming's ability would come in handy in stalling for time against Lin Feng.
Their minds were fully capable of filling in the gaps.
If there was anyone who had the highest chance for stalling for time, it was Ye Ming.
Even though he couldn't defeat Lin Feng, he could at atleast stall for time.
However, the question was, where was he?
"That's a sound plan." The Blood Demon Lord agreed with Ashen's idea.
"Indeed, Ye Ming is the perfect candidate for that task."
One of the elders of the Eastern Sovereign Hall was of the same opinion.
At this moment, the Tian Jian Tribe's patriarch questioned:
"But, where is he? How will we find him and get him to do that?"
Hearing his question, everyone's gazes went to the sect master.
Since he was the one who made Ye Ming agree to this fight, naturally, he would be the one to know how to find him.
The sect master also understood their intentions as he revealed an assuring smile:
"Don't worry, everyone."
He took out a communication sphere and showed it to them.
"I can contact him."
Everyone sighed in relief upon hearing his answer.
Ashen nodded at the sect master and instructed:
"Then please contact Lord Ye Ming and tell him our plan."
He briefly glanced at the communication sphere in his own hand and added:
"I'll contact Grandfather and ask him to hurry here."
The sect master nodded in understanding before leaving the array pillar to use the communication sphere.
One of the elders responsible for protecting Ashen took his spot.
They couldn't leave the array yet since Qin Feng was fighting Lin Feng.
Ashen also moved to a solitary area to call his grandfather.
Three elders of the Eastern Sovereign Hall accompanied him for his protection.
Going behind a tall tree, he made two calls, one to his grandfather and the other to someone else.
Even though he wanted to avoid taking help from his grandfather, he couldn't afford that luxury.
He was facing an emperor realm protagonist for the first time; he couldn't be lax.
Who knew what kind of secrets he was hiding?
If somehow, the overwhelming strength he was displaying currently wasn't his maximum, and he could get even stronger, that would be disastrous for Ashen if his grandfather wasn't present.
You could always over-prepare; however, being under-prepared would result in his death.
If this was Lin Feng's maximum strength, then that would be for the best; however, knowing protagonists, Ashen suspected that this wasn't his full power.
There must be some tricks he was hiding.
As for his grandfather, he was ready to help him since this would result in his faction getting four tribes of the north and maybe even getting the support of the Eastern Sovereign Hall.
If Ashen were to become the emperor, the Shang clan would benefit the most.
He had already informed his grandfather to be ready to come to the eastern region once he used his communication sphere to give him a signal, and as expected, his grandfather was eagerly waiting for his call.
He only said three words on the call—"Grandfather, please come!"
And he got a one-word response from him—"Alright."
And that was how the call ended without wasting any words.
After the call ended, Ashen couldn't help but wonder—
Was he waiting for my call?
He picked up right away.
Well, maybe he was looking forward to this moment.
There aren't many things that can interest him after all.
He must've been bored.
After the call, he called someone else through another communication sphere.
Meanwhile, the sect master just ended the call with Ye Ming, telling him the plan.
Ye Ming was reluctant at first; however, upon knowing about Ashen's grandfather coming to save the day, he agreed to the plan.
It didn't take more than a minute after that for Ashen, the sect master, and Ye Ming to appear beside the array.
"I apologize for my cowardice. I'm ashamed." Ye Ming apologized, bowing to the emperor realm cultivators and Ashen.
Anyone could notice that he didn't have any remorse on his face; he was apologizing just for the sake of it.
However, no one pointed him out for that, knowing full well that they needed his help to buy time.
The sect master stepped forward, putting his hand on Ye Ming's shoulder:
"You know what to do, right?"
Ye Ming nodded: "I do."
The sect master revealed a satisfied smile and said:
"Then we will place our trust and lives in your hands. Please buy us fifteen minutes."
"You can rest assured." Ye Ming struck his fist against his chest with pride as he assured him. "I won't disappoint you."
At this moment, a sudden explosion attracted everyone's attention, prompting their gazes to turn towards the huge burst of light and sound.
Boom!
At first, the light from the explosion made it impossible for them to make out the scene in front of them; however, as their vision cleared and the light retracted, the scene in front of them made their eyes widen in shock.
In the air floated Lin Feng, the scarlet circle of lightning and whips just behind him.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Feng let out a maniacal laughter, his finger pointing in a certain direction on the ground. The whips behind him moved and struck with vicious force on the exact point where he pointed.
However, it wasn't him that sent everyone into shock; it was the point where he pointed.
A puddle of blood, flesh, and bones littered the ground, and the whips constantly struck the puddle, making sure even the bones were ground into dust.
