Ye Fan was just about to ask the two somewhat foolish Martial Emperor experts to get up when a scene suddenly flashed in his head - was that really the image of his own ankle appearing before his eyes?


    What was going on?


    Ye Fan''s gaze was clearly fixed on the two Martial Emperors, and he hadn''t noticed his own ankles at all, let alone half a foot!


    While Ye Fan was puzzled, the Red Silk Tyrant Body inside him suddenly moved, causing the muscles around Ye Fan''s eyes to twitch a few times.


    Only then did Ye Fan realize with shock that the "view" he was "seeing" was not what his eyes were looking at. It was in fact transmitted by the Red Silk Tyrant Body, giving him the sensation as if a small "field of vision" had opened up right before his eyes!


    Shock!!!


    Ye Fan, with an incredulous expression, looked down at the two foolish Martial Emperors kneeling on the ground, followed their line of sight, and saw that it was just his half-foot they were looking at!


    "You... lift your head!" Ye Fan barked at one of the men. The moment that man lifted his head, Ye Fan saw the view in front of him shake along with it, and then in that view, Ye Fan saw his own face!


    It was clear and visible, even the blinking motion synchronized exactly with Ye Fan''s own rhythm.


    "Holy shit!"


    Ye Fan''s heart was rocked by a surge of shock!


    Could he really open up a field of view?


    If the Red Silk Tyrant Body controlling these insect egg slaves could also share the host''s field of vision, wouldn''t that be terrifying?


    If these Martial Emperor powerhouses were following Pan Shi, or Prince Jin, wouldn''t that mean he had left a pair of eyes by their side?


    But the next moment, Ye Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and the field of vision before his eyes disappeared in an instant. After sensing within his body, Ye Fan quickly found that the golden thread deep in his dantian had thinned considerably, and its pulsing energy had also weakened significantly.


    Could it be that sharing the field of vision consumed the energy of the Golden Thread?


    So he couldn''t keep it open all the time!


    But even if it was used just occasionally, it was still very useful! Moreover, with two Martial Emperor powerhouses as his hidden trump card killers, ready to "turn the tables" at any moment, Ye Fan grew more confident about the ultimate showdown in the Capital.


    "Alright! Get up!" Ye Fan barked at the two Martial Emperor experts, "The mission to pursue Songyang is terminated. When you go back to report, say that Songyang was saved by me! Also, whatever your names were before, from now on, you will be referred to as Number 1 and Number 2!"


    Ye Fan knew that as the Root Bone evolved, the Red Silk Tyrant Body would evolve with it, so he was bound to encounter more insect egg hosts in the future. Ye Fan couldn''t be bothered to remember their names, so direct numbering was most convenient!


    "Yes! Master!"


    "That''s why I arranged for the Ice Demon to go to the banquet as support, one reason being I didn''t want to go against the young lady''s wishes, and also to ensure the safety of Tiankui Base!"


    Listening to Songyang''s explanation, Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and contemplated for a few seconds.


    He made some sense!


    In Tiankui Base, there were all kinds of powerful Rune War Soldiers and Seal Carving instruments—a veritable piece of fat meat, attracting countless eyes on Tiankui Base!


    Especially after many years of the dissolution of Divine Gate, with no news from his mother, those covetous people would only get more daring in their intentions to seize it!


    Before, the presence of Divine Gate served as a deterrent, but the effectiveness of that deterrent was surely weakening!


    "Let''s go, find a place to fill me in on the specifics of the Four Great Families and Tiankui Base!" Ye Fan didn''t dwell on Songyang''s prior actions and shifted the conversation.


    After all, the most important thing for his visit to Guangcheng was taking over Tiankui Base!


    "Yes! Young Master Ye, even if you hadn''t asked, I must immediately report to you! Pan Shi, the assistant to Prince Jin, informed the Four Great Families this morning that he wanted to take over Tiankui Base, but Liang Antong, that old fox, slipped away in advance, claiming to be on a business trip and won''t return until tonight... Without the patriarchs of the Four Great Families to jointly unlock the base key, it''s impossible to complete the takeover, so Pan Shi gave up..."


    Hmph!


    So Pan Shi had already begun to act before me?


    "Also, on the Chen Family''s side, Pan Shi is staying at their estate during this trip to Guangcheng. It''s likely that they''ve already sided with Prince Jin... Qi Yuan of the Qi Family has been trying to get information on Young Master Ye''s whereabouts all along, but his family has been placed under surveillance by two Martial Emperor strongmen arranged by Pan Shi. It''s difficult for Qi Yuan to even step out..."


    Listening to Songyang''s explanations, Ye Fan got a rough understanding of the situation of the Four Great Families of Guangcheng.


    From the current information, among the Four Great Families, both the Song Family and the Qi Family remembered old connections and were likely to support him in taking over the base.


    Liang Antong was a cunning old fox waiting for today''s battle to see the outcome; whoever wins would likely receive his support.


    The Chen Family seemed to have completely sided with Prince Jin!

    Qi Yuan was probably the more honest type and not as crafty as Songyang, which was why his family was now under the control and surveillance of Pan Shi''s men. "Since Qi Yuan can''t leave, let''s go see him instead!"


    Ye Fan smiled sinisterly!


    Now, Ye Fan, having narrowly escaped death today and benefiting from the disaster, advanced from Mortal Bone to Spirit Bone, breaking through to become a Martial Emperor Ninth Rank and evolving his Red Silk Spirit Body into the Red Silk Tyrant Body. He had also forcefully contracted two Insect Eggs hosts, turning two Martial Emperor powerhouses into slaves!


    Since the Martial Emperor powerhouses brought by Pan Shi were all manufactured en masse with Insect Eggs, Ye Fan didn''t mind acquiring a few more slaves...
