Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Jun Xie took a deep breath as he heard Ye Tian Yun's words.

In his opinion, Fang Chen telling the elders about any hidden information about the sleeper cells was no different from hitting his legs with an axe.

He was digging a hole for himself. The elders, especially the core elders and the Grand Elders, were not nice old people, but they were scheming old bastards who were looking for any way to enhance their hold over the sect.

And Fang Chen was going to become a lamb to be slaughtered in front of them as soon as he spoke about the sleeper cells.

First of all, no one knew who is behind the assassination, it could be any of the elders. So, by foiling their plan, Fang Chen was unknowingly creating a hidden enemy for himself. 

And the other thing that worried him was that, if Fang Chen gets into trouble, it would indirectly affect his goals. 

Thus, he was very much against Fang Chen going out and blabbering about things trying to become a hero of the sect. To him, this was naive thinking.

But to Fang Chen, or should we say, Ye Tian Yun, it was actually the opposite.

He wasn't worried about anyone getting suspicious of him, because of Fang Chen's background.

The Fang Clan is not a simple clan. It literally has more power than the Xin Royal Clan itself. And all the high-ranking powers of the kingdom know about this.

If not for the fact that the Fang Clan has never shown any moves against the Xin Royal Clan and have also become in-laws with them, they wouldn't have let it be this powerful.

In the public's eye, the Fang Clan acts arrogant because of its connection with the Xin Royal Clan, however, in truth, the Fang Clan has no need to rely on the Xin Royal Clan.

In fact, even the Gracious Sword Sect is wary of this clan. Thus, Ye Tian Yun could easily use the Fang Clan as an excuse for his knowledge.

And even though tonight's events happened very differently from what they were supposed to go like, Ye Tian Yun was sure that no one of the elders was behind tonight's incident. Just like he knew that it was Jiang Yun who was behind Yuan Shuchun's assassination attack, he was sure that this has nothing to do with the elders of the sect.

Because he knew that no matter how much internal fighting and scheming was going on in the sect, none of the elders would collaborate with the outside powers. Even the Grand Elder Xuan who was going against Sect Leader Su at every decision, wouldn't ask for the foreign powers to help him.

This was why Ye Tian Yun had no issue in disclosing anything regarding the Sleeper Cells. 

And the reason why he chose to do this was that his life was also in danger. The explosion by a single Sleeper cell was enough to destroy half of the banquet hall. And no one had any idea how many sleeper cells were lying dormant in the sect.

There was no way Ye Tian Yun would be able to survive this crisis alone. He had to use the information in his head and make a way for himself to survive.

And the reason for his action was the fact that he had to keep Xiao Ming alive.

No matter how much he wanted Xiao Ming dead, it was not the right time yet. 

Xiao Ming still hadn't shown any signs of possessing the Token Of Fate, thus, dead Xiao Ming was equivalent to losing Token of Fate.

Ye Tian Yun had no other choice but to wait for the right moment to strike and kill Xiao Ming, and get his hands on the Token.

…

He then stared at Jun Xie for a second and said, "You don't have to worry about losing the clue, let me do what I think is right. The more you stall, the fewer chances of survival we have.

Jun Xie sighed and just as he was about to snap his fingers, Ye Tian Yun said, "Don't remove the illusion."

"Why not?"

"I don't know everything about the Sleeper Cells. Like, I am not sure if they are conscious of the fact that they are about to explode. We can't risk anyone in this hall knowing about what is going on. Keep the illusion as long as you can."

Jun Xie took a deep breath and nodded his head, "Alright, I will do that. I am not sure how long I will be able to hold on because I will also be heading out of this banquet with you."

"You won't have to hold it for long. Let's go." Ye Tian Yun assured him and headed out of the hall towards the elders who were currently checking the core members of the Heavenly League. He didn't forget to put his chair back in his spatial ring.

Jun Xie followed him, however to the disciples in the hall, he was still sitting on the throne, and Ye Tian Yun was standing in front of him as both of them chatted in low voices.

…

Outside the hall.

The current situation was pretty weird as the elders were having a headache in searching for the disciples.

It was not only time-consuming, but they also found at least one thing unique among each disciple.

So now, they didn't know how many things to take note of.

At first, it wasn't an issue, like they took note of scars, tattoos, and moles, but by the time they reached the eighth disciple, they already had a long list of unique things among these disciples.

And if more than a thousand disciples inside the hall were to be taken into account, it would take days to identify the sleeper cells.

Unfortunately, they had less than three hours at hand.

This was now giving a big headache to all the higher-ups of the sect present at the scene.

It was at this moment, that they suddenly noticed Jun Xie coming out of the banquet hall with an Inner Court disciple.
