The God Of Void
Chaptre 79. Enemies in a blanket

The Northern imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, there is something important that I want to convey" said a masked man.

"Say!" said the middle-aged man sitting on the throne.

"When carrying out duties at the border, I met some people from the western empire."

"Only a few people, what's the importance?"

The masked man then relayed that some of the people he met were not ordinary people, but rather great cultivators who were an elite army of the empire.

Then, he also showed evidence confirming his words, a badge that only the imperial elite had, and that badge belonged only to the western imperial soldiers.

"How did you get that badge?"

"Hamba and the slave army not only met them, but also had a chance to fight with them, and we managed to kill one of them."

"Did you have time to interrogate him?"

The masked man shook his head slowly, "unfortunately no, your honor. Because he'd rather kill himself with poison."

"Well, you can go now."

"Okay, your highness!"

The atmosphere in the hall became silent for a while, then the atmosphere became very crowded as the higher-ups gave their opinions regarding the information.

"Your majesty, even if we don't know what their true purpose is, but there's no harm if we're careful."

"That's right! And it's not impossible if the purpose of them coming here is to spy on our empire."

"Your majesty! We must take immediate action, otherwise we could all be killed while sleeping."

Bei Zhong nodded slowly, then stood up from his throne, "alright! Tighten your guard and arrest anyone who looks suspicious!"

"Okay, your highness!"

Border forests.

Instead of immediately delivering Yun Fei's message to the leaders of the big sects, Huo Wen instead seized the opportunity to prepare his evil plan.

Right now, he was in the depths of the forest bordering the imperial city, and his current goal was to gather as many troops as possible.

Not only did he gather an army, he also planned to gain the support of the strong people, and one of the supports he hoped for was the empire.

"Who is that!?" huo Wen said as he sensed the existence of someone around him.

"If I'm not mistaken, aren't you an elder in the holy fire clan?"

Huo Wen focused his gaze towards the large tree not too far away from him, not long after, a young man of Yun Fei's age came out from behind the tree.

"Who are you? Why do you know my identity?" asked Huo Wen.

The young man smiled cunningly, then walked over to the wary Huo Wen, "you might have forgotten me, but I still clearly remember who you are."

The young man's words further confused Huo Wen, as he felt that he had never known the young man before, nor had he met the young man.

However, after the distance between them was close enough, it was only then that Huo Wen realized that if the young man in front of him had ever been side by side with his enemy long ago, he was Xue Ming.

"You?!"

"Really! It's me, Xue Ming. Huo An's right hand."

"You want what you?!"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to fight you."

"Then why are you stopping me?"

"Cihh, why am I approaching an enemy."

"Haha!" Xue Ming laughed out loud at Huo Wen's words, "hasn't that already passed? And, don't we have the same enemy?"

Huo Wen frowned, "what do you mean?"

Xue Ming returned to show his sneaky smile, then he explained that he had already found out that Huo Wen hated Yun Fei so much and had a grudge with her.

Besides, Xue Ming also said that he already knew what Huo Wen really meant, to get rid of Yun Fei and take over the power of the clan.

"How did you know that?"

"Everything can be clearly seen from the look in your eyes" Xue Ming replied.

"Have it, you don't need to be careful of me, and shouldn't we carry out this plan together?"

"I'll admit you're very good at knowing my plans, but sorry, I'm not interested in working with someone like you!"

"Don't be too rash in making a decision, think again and meet me after you've made your choice" Xue Ming said, then left from there.

Huo Wen was stunned after hearing Xue Ming's words, even though they used to be enemies, but it was inevitable that the two of them also had one enemy in common.

"For the time being, I'd better go to the imperial city" Huo Wen said inwardly, then continued on his way to the Northern imperial capital.

In addition to trying to find as much help as possible, Huo Wen also carried out the duties given by Yun Fei, so he did not suspect himself.

But unfortunately, no matter how great the charade he played, Yun Fei still managed to figure it out, even he obtained evidence that Huo Wen would not be able to deny.

"Dad, uncle, I did this just to show you the truth" Yun Fei said.

"Fuck up! I really didn't expect that my sister would become an enemy in a blanket!" huo Qian said.

"I'm really ashamed of myself!" suho Huo Ming.

"Patriark, let me teach him a lesson!"

Yun Fei shook her head softly, "now is not the right time to do that."

"What do you mean, patriarch?" Huo Qian asked who seemed confused by Yun Fei's decision.

"Just like the wind god clan, all of you are also my family, including him. Therefore, I want to give her a chance to improve herself."

"What if he can't fix himself?"

"I leave this matter to you guys" Yun Fei replied.

Although he was the clan leader, Yun Fei did not want to take the decision unilaterally, and according to him, it would be best if it was handled by Huo Ming or Huo Qian.

The reason was simple, he simply did not want himself to be considered a ruthless leader, and surely, the members of the sacred fire clan would think badly of him.

Therefore, he preferred to leave it to Huo Ming, because after all, Huo Wen was his younger brother and he was more deserving of punishing that younger brother.

"Then, what are you going to do now?"

"I will wait for the arrival of the sect leaders, as well as prepare myself to face the problems to come."

"I'm sorry for the stupid actions my sister did" Huo Qian said.

"Uncle, no one knows what someone's heart is, so don't apologize for what you didn't do."

"But..."

"Are we not family?"

Huo Qian smiled, "You're right, we are family."

At first, Huo Qian also disliked Yun Fei, but as time went on, that dislike turned into respect and admiration.

And until now, Huo Qian still could not believe that a young man of Yun Fei's age had thoughts that were far beyond his age, which even an old man like him did not have.
