Chapter 570 Fox, I'll Teach You a Method
"Patriarch Ye, after two hours of searching, the remnants of seven sects, including the Hook Claw Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, have been captured. A total of 330 ordinary intruders have been captured, of whom 174 are injured or disabled, 121 are incapacitated, and the remaining remnants have chosen to self-destruct."
"Of the remaining high-ranking combat personnel of the allied forces, we have captured nineteen Soul Emperors, fifteen Soul Saints, six Soul Douluos, and six Title Douluos."
The city lord of Zhengtian City was personally recounting the results of the Zhengtian City government's crackdown to Ye Ling Shuang, while constantly searching for the mysterious expert from the Ye family out of the corner of his eye.
That mysterious and powerful figure who unleashed two earth-shattering sword strikes on the battlefield.
To his disappointment, he was completely unable to sense that powerful aura from just moments ago.
"Indeed, how could a mere Soul Douluo like me possibly sense the aura of that powerful figure?" The City Lord of Zhengtian City sighed inwardly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Hu. These high-ranking members of the sects have killed many members of my Ye family. I want to personally try the prisoners who are Soul Saints or above. As for the rest, I'll leave them to you, Lord Hu," Ye Ling Shuang said coldly.
The city lord of Zhengtian City, surnamed Hu, was overjoyed to hear that Ye Ling Shuang was willing to hand over the remnants of the Hook Claw Sect and other sects to him. With so many people, if he could pick out half of them who were still healthy and able to move around, the Zhengtian City government would have made a profit.
These cannon fodder prisoners are all extremely cheap labor criminals. As long as they are given a little food, they can work day and night without stopping. Even if they can't take it and die halfway through, it doesn't matter, since they are free.
What pleased Lord Hu the most was that these people all carried storage soul tools, which contained valuable items such as soul tool gold coins.
The accumulated supplies and provisions of over a hundred people amounted to a considerable sum, undoubtedly providing the Zhengtian City government with a substantial additional income. Roughly calculated, the compensation for the constables who died in battle tonight was secured, and so was their own bonus.
"It's no trouble at all. The Ye family is an important part of Zhengtian City. As the city lord of Zhengtian City, I have a responsibility to protect the people of Zhengtian City. These despicable villains! They dare to openly violate the law and treat the imperial palace as nothing! Their crimes are truly heinous. I, Hu, will seize the time to severely torture and punish these criminals! They will definitely pay the price!" City Lord Hu said with a serious expression.
Ye Ling Shuang nodded slightly to City Lord Hu, then turned and left with Ye Nan Xiao.
Watching the two depart, Lord Hu thought smugly, "The Ye family has a new patriarch, and he's a reasonable one. If it were that old scoundrel Ye Jinpeng, he'd make me spend money and effort, and in the end, he wouldn't get a single benefit. He deserved to die!"
He vaguely sensed that the new head of the Ye family would bring about tremendous changes to the family, and most importantly, that the new head of the Ye family intended to establish friendly relations with the Zhengtian City government.
Thinking of this, Lord Hu felt all the fatigue of the night vanish, and he felt refreshed. He waved his hand vigorously and shouted to his men, "Hurry up! Quickly carry the wounded brothers to get treatment, then arrest all these criminals and take them away. If there's not enough space, dump them outside the city to build roads and bulldoze!"
Before leaving, Lord Hu took a deep look in the direction Ye Ling Shuang had gone.
"We need to cultivate a good relationship with the Ye family."
He had no idea that the mysterious expert from the Ye family he was looking for was right under his nose, leisurely following Ye Ling Shuang away.
"Boss, what should we do with those Soul Saints and Soul Douluos? Do you have any special plans?" Ye Ling Shuang asked in a low voice.
"If not, what do you plan to do with those people?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.
Ye Ling Shuang blinked, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Take their storage soul tools, collect the spoils, then throw them outside the city, dig a pit, kill them, burn them, and bury them."
In her eyes, the only valuable thing about these prisoners of war was the storage soul tools they carried. They were all high-ranking members of the sect, not recruited combat personnel, so they had no value in being recruited. Besides, they had a long-standing feud with the Ye family.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, agreeing with Ye Ling Shuang's approach, and said, "Your method of 'crushing bones to ashes' is acceptable, but I have a more interesting way to handle this, Fox. Would you like to hear it?"
"Please speak, boss," Ye Ling Shuang asked curiously.
"After plundering them, symbolically use some punishments, such as breaking their hands or three legs. Then, secretly sow discord among these sects regarding their alliance. After that, plant control measures and call out to their sects, demanding ransom. If they don't pay, cripple them and throw them back near their sects. Ostensibly, it's said that 'taking their lives is too dirty to handle, so let them fend for themselves,' but secretly, it keeps them clinging to a sliver of hope."
"Think about it. These high-ranking members hold prominent positions in their sects and possess their sects' secret information. If their sects take them back for treatment, that's fine. But if their sects also discard them like trash, what will these people think?"
A fierce glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"They will hold a grudge, and it will be against their own sect, because they have no one to rely on after being expelled from the sect, and they don't have the courage to seek revenge against the Ye family." Ye Ling Shuang thought for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened suddenly. She seemed to understand Ye Nan Xiao's thoughts.
"That's right. They've lost their cultivation, their possessions, and their sect's backing. In this situation, the only target for their revenge is the sect that abandoned them. A Soul Saint is enough to be an important high-ranking member of a third-rate sect and a lowly figure in the power circles of a second-rate force. They will not hesitate to use the information they have to launch a revenge campaign against the sect that abandoned them!"
They fought bravely for their sect, only to be captured. In this desperate situation, the Ye family suddenly offered to release them for money, which undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope.
When that spark is ruthlessly extinguished by their supporters, their hatred will shift to their sect.
The cowardly might accept reality and become the common people they once looked down upon, carrying a shoulder pole and making a living on the streets. But those who cannot accept reality will choose to self-destruct.
At this point, their thoughts would likely be, "I've shed blood and rendered meritorious service for the sect! I barely managed to save my life, but you want to drag me back into the abyss? If that's the case, then none of us should live!"
These united forces have more than just the Ye family as an enemy.
"At that time, the united forces will not only be severely weakened by the ransom, but will also face extreme internal strife. The former high-ranking officials will be half-crippled or even have lost their cultivation. Naturally, the people below will have their own ideas, and the capable will rise to power through killing!" Ye Ling Shuang added, a slight smile playing on her lips.
The more miserable the enemy is, the better.
"Very good. Remember, be as ruthless as you can be to your enemies. Cut them off at the root. This has been the way since ancient times." Ye Nanxiao would never show mercy to an enemy who wanted his life; that would be cruel to himself.
Ye Ling Shuang nodded; she already knew what to do.
"Xiao boy, want to go get some late-night snacks?" Old Xuan walked over with a chicken leg in his mouth, a rope in his hand, and a small cart in his hand.
The latest novel is first published here!
The six titled Douluo, including the sect leader of the Hook Claw Sect, were piled up like haphazardly arranged goods, their eyes devoid of light and lifelessness.
Even when the six of them joined forces, they couldn't defeat Elder Xuan. Even when they tried to self-destruct, their soul power was forcibly forced back into their bodies, and Elder Xuan slapped them so hard they lost their minds.
"The Ye family...hahaha...wait to die, hahaha...my Hook Claw Sect is the most powerful..." The Hook Claw Sect Master sometimes whispered and sometimes roared, accompanied by a maniacal smile on his face and glistening saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He had meticulously planned for so long, prepared for so many years, paid a heavy price to unite with other forces, and just happened to wait for the Ye family to reveal a flaw. This was the perfect opportunity, a situation where heaven, earth, and man were in perfect harmony. This should have been a sure win for him, but he was slapped so hard by the ochre-colored palm that he couldn't breathe.
The titled Douluo who was being pressed down by the Hook Claw Sect Master was straining to tilt his neck to the side to avoid being touched by the saliva coming from the corner of the Hook Claw Sect Master's mouth.
"Elder Xuan, are you hungry again? Let's go then. There's no need to go outside. The whole city is under a search. I'll get you some snacks and drinks later." Ye Nanxiao rubbed his stomach; he also felt a bit hungry.
"Boss, let me do it. You guys go and rest first," Ye Ling Shuang offered to cook.
Elder Xuan glanced at Ye Ling Shuang, handed her the rope, and said, "You deal with these people yourself. I've crippled half of their cultivation. Whether they live or die is up to you."
Ye Ling Shuang summoned several trusted confidants and had the six Title Douluos taken away. These people were important pawns who could be exchanged for money.
"A titled Douluo should have at least ten million gold soul coins and rare metals worth millions of gold soul coins, right?" Ye Ling Shuang murmured softly.
After explaining everything, Ye Ling Shuang actually tied on an apron, went into the kitchen, and kicked Ye Nan Xiao, who was peeling potatoes inside, out.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the potato he was peeling halfway through, then at the closed kitchen door. After looking around to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place, he clapped his hands and slipped into Ye Ling Shuang's courtyard.
"Oh no, this little girl Ye Ling Shuang doesn't know how much Elder Xuan eats. Should I remind her?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the tightly closed kitchen door, took a bite of the potato in his hand, and went off to eat with a smile.
Since she's come to us willingly, this girl should stay in the kitchen today and not go out.
