Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Hearing his question, Ye Tian Yun's expression turned a bit melancholy.

"We lost one man, but the rest were able to escape in time."

"Oh?" Clan Head Zheng Yuan frowned, "Where are they? You should have brought them here to get them treated."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "That would not have been a good idea, Clan Head Zheng. The situation is now quite complicated. It's better if you don't poke too much in the situation."

"What happened?" Zheng Yuan was surprised by his words, "Are the enemies still here?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I don't know, Clan Head Zhen, but there's a high chance people from Middle Heavens will arrive here very soon."

"What!?" 

Everyone in the Main Hall was shocked by his words.

"People from Middle Heavens?"

This only meant that the next few days were going to be quite hard for them.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes, they will be investigating the situation here. And they will interrogate anyone going in that area. So it's better that you and your clan don't check too much about the situation. However, you should still put in some cannon fodders, or else people will be suspicious of you. After all, if half of your city is destroyed and you don't even react, it will, of course, turn some heads on you."

Clan Head Zheng nodded his head.

He understood that the situation was now going to be hard, and they needed to tread very carefully. If they got on the wrong side of those people, the whole Zheng Clan might cease to exist.

"What about the mission? Was it successful?" Clan Head Zheng couldn't help but ask.

This was his main worry.

Half of the city had been destroyed, and the epicenter of all this was the place where the whole incident was supposed to occur.

Hearing his question, Ye Tian Yun made a regretful expression and let out a sigh.

He then said, "Clan Head Zheng, the mission… failed and passed."

"Hm? What?" His response confused Clan Head Zheng.

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and began to explain, "Actually, we were supposed to kidnap this target, not kill her. However, before we could get close to the target, her guards poisoned and killed her."

"What?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"How ruthless."

Clan Head Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.

The guards killed their master to prevent her from falling into the enemy's hand?

They were truly cruel and remorseless.

"What about now? Will everything be alright?" Clan Head Zheng asked.

This mission was important for the Zheng Clan because it was a heaven-sent opportunity for them to rise. And now that the Jia Lei Clan had lost its Clan Head and the whole Ao Ba Clan was destroyed, the Zheng Clan was the new de facto ruler of this city.

Ye Tian Yun replied, "Everything should be alright. Don't worry about it anymore. The situation here was very complicated. Did you people not notice the landslide?"

Everyone nodded, and Clan Head Zheng said, "But it froze in mid-air and was then moved towards the valley. What about it?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "I suspect it was done by the Sword Saint. Don't forget to mention this to the people from the Middle Heavens."

Clan Head Zheng Yuan nodded his head, "Sure thing. But do you know why he was here?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I don't know. We had to escape as soon as things got out of hand. And we did manage to escape."

Clan Head Zheng let out a sigh, "I hope there aren't too many negative repercussions of this incident."

 Ye Tian Yun told him, "Clan Head Zheng, don't worry about this incident. What you need to think about is the future."

"I will put in some good words about your clan to the higher-ups. You definitely won't be mistreated. After all, you gave your best, but if the Heavens wanted something else, then what could we do?"

Clan Head Zheng lightly nodded.

Ye Tian Yun smiled and added, "When the Middle Heavens people come, don't talk about the mission, but don't hide anything else. There's no need to be afraid of them, just don't try to over-smart those people. Decide what you need to say beforehand."

"And once they are gone… this whole city will be under your control."

Clan Head Zheng laughed, "Haha, it's all thanks to the Gracious Sword Sect and the Crown Prince."

Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath, and staring out of the window, he said, "This is it then, I shall head back. I hope we meet again soon."

Hearing his words, everyone in the hall cupped their fists at him.

Ye Tian Yun smiled and cupped his fists in return.

And then he walked out of the entrance, and as soon as he did, his presence disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Clan Head Zheng Yuan finally let out a sigh.

"Next few days are going to be troublesome."

….

Outside the City.

Ye Tian Yun jumped over the wall and landed on a tree branch.

He immediately removed his disguise as Fang Chen and returned to being Kai Yang.

"What are you planning next, Ye Tian Yun?" Wang Yao asked.

Ye Tian Yun halted and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You have already achieved your goal," Wang Yao shrugged, "You got the Token Of Fate and even got the Emblem of Time. Now I am interested to see what your future plans are. Who are you going to target next?"

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "You will know pretty soon."

Hearing his words, Wang Yao suddenly laughed, "Things are getting interesting now."

Ye Tian Yun gave a slight nod.

'When I began this journey, I had the Emblem System, and Wang Yao was supposed to have the Emblem Of Time.'

'But as things turned out, now I have the Emblem Of Time, while he has the Emblem System. Furthermore, I somehow ended up making amends with Xiao Ming….'

'Things sure are getting interesting.'

Wang Yao smiled at his words and said, "Ye Tian Yun… I think you're slowly turning into the hero of this story, haha!"

Ye Tian Yun smiled at his words.

'Hero? The world is filled with heroes and wannabes, so let me just play the villain!'

…
