    On the other end of the phone was none other than Songyang, the patriarch of the Song Family—one of the Four Great Families of Guangcheng!


    Before the banquet today, Songyang had secretly summoned all his family members to scatter and evacuate. At the actual banquet, they merely sent a representative to attend. He left behind the Ice Demon at the scene to look for an opportunity!


    Unexpectedly, the Ice Demon actually managed to rescue Ye Fan.


    Steward Pan''s men were no pushovers; based on the results of the investigation at the scene, they quickly identified the Ice Demon as a House Slave of the Song Family. Therefore, they immediately dispatched two Martial Emperor-level experts to forcefully capture Songyang and demand an explanation. At the same time, they sent out a large force, intending to capture all the members of the Song Family to prevent any complications during the takeover of Tiankui Base.


    After all, if the mysterious Tiankui Base were to be transferred, it would require the presence of representatives from all the Four Great Families to simultaneously activate the keys!


    In fact, Steward Pan had already wanted to take over Tiankui Base in the morning, but the head of the Liang Family was not reachable, claiming to be on a business trip and would only return tonight.


    Clearly, it was just an excuse!


    Steward Pan knew that the Liang Family was trying to play it smart, waiting to see the outcome of the unfolding events in Guangcheng before making a final decision.


    Thus, when Steward Pan held that banquet and brutally killed several family heads of Guangcheng, it was also meant as a display to the outside world.


    Those who follow me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish!


    Songyang''s House Slave actually rescuing Ye Fan at a critical moment—when Steward Pan learned of this intelligence, he almost exploded on the spot. Did all the members of the Four Great Families of Guangcheng have their own schemes?


    Even more infuriating was that the men Steward Pan sent to capture Songyang''s family members reported back—the entire Shen Family Courtyard had been emptied out, there was no one inside, and all the core disciples of the Song Family had vanished without a trace.


    In the end, only Steward Pan''s two Martial Emperor subordinates managed to track down Songyang''s whereabouts. In a fit of rage, Steward Pan immediately issued the order to act, commanding that Songyang must be captured dead or alive!


    "Patriarch, where are you?" The Ice Demon frowned and quickly asked.


    Ye Fan also furrowed his brows. After all, Songyang had sent the Ice Demon to save him, and although there was an element of taking advantage, ultimately he was still his savior. Ye Fan could not stand idly by!


    "Laotzu''s already circled around the Shen Family Courtyard eight times!"


    Because the Ice Demon had the phone on speaker, everyone present could hear clearly.


    "..."


    Circling around the Shen Family Courtyard?


    Ye Fan was speechless!


    What the heck!


    This Songyang was quite the character. After dispersing his family members, he had directly run to the vicinity of the Shen Family Courtyard.


    Seeking protection so blatantly?


    Meanwhile, Ye Fan, Yu Qiang, Guo Li, and others had reached just outside the park''s main gate, and Songyang could feel them drawing near.


    Seeing the two Grandmasters ready to take action, Songyang quickly waived his hands and said, "Gentlemen, no need to rush, let''s wait for someone before we start, shall we?"


    Hm?


    The two Martial Emperor masters hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look, and then said, "Songyang, Manager Pan instructed us to bring you back for questioning. You either come with us, or we''ll kill you and then take you!"


    The next moment, the two Grandmasters, one in front and one behind, swung their battle sabers down at him.


    The powerful Martial Arts Qi ripped through the void, compressing the air and emitting a booming sound.


    Songyang felt the pressure mounting as a tinge of sorrow showed between his brows. He shouted toward the woods behind him, "Young Master Ye! Hurry up and take action, if you don''t... I''m really going to die!"


    Songyang knew Ye Fan had arrived, or he wouldn''t dare to confront the two grand Martial Emperor grandmasters so boldly.


    After all, Songyang had just broken through to the level of a Martial Emperor, and the other two were bona fide Third Grade Martial Emperor masters. If it came down to a direct confrontation, Songyang would definitely be no match for them.


    The only reason he had managed to hold out for so long was because of his exceptional qinggong, making him slippery as a fish!


    ...


    Behind the trees, Ye Fan had already been there for a while, and with the Devil''s Pupil activated, he could clearly see the bodies of those two great Martial Emperor grandmasters.


    Insect eggs!


    It was insect eggs again!


    Like the grandmasters cultivated by Old Mo before, these two Martial Emperor grandmasters'' bodies also housed a tentacle-covered insect!


    However, the insects inside these two grandmasters differed from the green insects in the grandmasters'' bodies; they were golden and larger in size, with more and longer tentacles entwined with various organs of their bodies.


    That form... was 95% similar to the Red Silk Tyrant Body inside Ye Fan''s own body!


    This...


    Were those tentacled eggs of the same species as the Red Silk Spirit Body inside him?


    As soon as this thought surfaced in Ye Fan''s mind, he felt the evolved Red Silk Tyrant Body inside him becoming excited, eagerly conveying a desire to get closer!


    Hm?


    His Red Silk Tyrant Body seemed very interested in those eggs!


    Things were getting more and more interesting!
