Chapter 1881: Chapter 1881: Thinking of Surrendering?

Soon, the follow-up troops that Zhang Wei talked about arrived. This group, numbering no less than three thousand people, looked quite impressive.

In this team, there were quite a few familiar faces to Ye Haochuan, namely those he had personally organized in the past into the five thousand people Genius Seven Kills Squab.

As soon as these people heard they were going to fight alongside Ye Haochuan, they were all extremely excited, afraid of falling behind even a step.

No wonder, fighting alongside Ye Haochuan was a real thrill; he always managed to accurately grasp the opponent’s weakness and catch the big fish.

With three thousand troops, entering the tunnel became rather crowded, and if any danger were encountered, there would be hardly any room to turn around.

Having led soldiers several times, Ye Haochuan certainly wouldn’t make such a basic mistake. He only sent two hundred men to quickly advance in the tunnel.

He split another four hundred, instructing them to confirm the tunnel’s direction by the signals sent from within, then proceed above ground.

The remaining two thousand and four were divided into four teams of six hundred, heading to other Blood Clan gathering points marked by Allen.

According to the construction of this passage, each gathering point should lead to the same place; these small teams can form an encirclement while also preventing the Blood Clan from escaping.

Actually, six hundred per team was still somewhat few, considering a major Blood Clan branch could have over a thousand. But Ye Haochuan wasn’t worried because the people Ye Hao had arranged would arrive soon. As long as these people held on for a while, reinforcements would reach them.

After arranging the personnel, Ye Haochuan led the remaining two hundred to file into the tunnel.

Originally, Ye Haochuan intended to take the lead, but Zhang Wei was insistent, saying that if anything happened to Ye Haochuan, not even ten lives could make up for it.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t sway Zhang Wei, eventually agreeing to let Zhang Wei lead.

”This tunnel is way too long, isn’t it?” After walking more than ten kilometers without seeing the end of the tunnel, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but exclaim.

Not only was the tunnel long, but it was dug really deep; in this short time of walking, they felt they had descended a good hundred to two hundred meters.

”Wait! There’s someone ahead!” Just as he was speaking, Ye Haochuan suddenly stiffened, halting the team.

”Could it be a Blood Clan Duke?” Zhang Wei asked cautiously.

According to Allen earlier, only the Blood Clan Dukes knew this place, so the suddenly appearing people were most likely Dukes.

Blood Clan Dukes generally had a cultivation of Nascent Soul Late Stage or higher. Previously, Duke Abel was the weakest among all Dukes, allowing Ye Haochuan to exploit an opportunity; otherwise, he would’ve helplessly watched Sophia get harmed.

However, for Ye Haochuan now, not to mention Nascent Soul Late Stage, even Nascent Soul Peak was nothing.

”It shouldn’t be the Duke, besides, there’s more than one person!” Ye Haochuan said.

It seemed that the Blood Clan, once they started fleeing, didn’t care about any rules saying only Dukes could enter this tunnel, and had all entered here.

”I’ll creep over quietly and silently kill them!” Zhang Wei proposed.

These Blood Clan people were obviously guarding here; if any anomaly was noticed, they would report it at once, and the Blood Clan would definitely dispatch a major force to encircle them, possibly putting them in danger.

”No, we can’t sneak over quietly, we have to brazenly approach, and it’s best to let them sound the alarm.” Ye Haochuan stated solemnly.

”But...” Zhang Wei was somewhat confused by Ye Haochuan’s logic, weakly asking, ”Going over like this we’ll be discovered by the Blood Clan...”

”Indeed, we want them to notice, so they call in experts along this path!”

Ye Haochuan explained, ”In the teams we sent out, the strongest is only Nascent Soul Late Stage; if they confront a Nascent Soul Peak Blood Clan Duke, it’ll be very dangerous. If we can draw Blood Clan experts here, they will be much safer.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but feel moved; Ye Haochuan was putting himself at risk to protect others.

”Still, it’s not right; their lives, thousands of them, aren’t as valuable as yours, Young Master Ye. If you’re in danger, I couldn’t explain this to the Sect Master!” Zhang Wei said, still somewhat reluctant.

”Each of us carries a brain on our shoulders; whose life is more valuable than the other?” Ye Haochuan shook his head, ”Besides, I’m also doing this to make the mission easier to complete; if they suffer too much loss, what if they can’t stop the Blood Clan from breaking through?”

”You’re not wrong there, but...”

”But nothing! What kind of danger haven’t I encountered yet? Blood Clan means nothing to me!” Ye Haochuan tossed out a sentence, no longer engaging Zhang Wei, and charged forward.

Soon, three Core Formation stage Blood Clan members appeared in his sight.

The three Blood Clan members seemed taken aback upon seeing Ye Haochuan, standing there dumbfounded.

Looking at the bewildered Blood Clan cultivators standing there, Ye Haochuan frowned slightly.

Damn, could these three be any stupider? Upon discovering an enemy, neither fleeing nor sounding an alarm; standing blankly – what for?

Ye Haochuan was a bit frustrated, intentionally slowing his pace.

But in the next moment, the three Blood Clan cultivators suddenly knelt, begging, ”Don’t kill us, we surrender.”

Damn, have some backbone, even a little!

Ye Haochuan felt utterly helpless.

He intended for these three to sound the alarm, but unexpectedly, they surrendered outright.

”You three bastards have disgraced the Blood Clan!” Allen suddenly stepped forward, angrily chastising.

Although he was on Ye Haochuan’s side, seeing such weakness from the Blood Clan people left him rather indignant.

The three Blood Clan members saw Allen and said bitterly, ”Xuanmen annihilated even the Evil Sect, let alone us, a mere Blood Clan.”

”Yes, initially we thought we might hide underground for centuries, and resurface once Xuanmen declined; now that you’ve found us, we’re doomed anyhow, so surrender is better than dying.”

”So, the Blood Clan Dukes have lost their courage as well?” Ye Haochuan asked with interest.

”Yes, yes, this time the four Dukes have met to discuss whether to continue hiding or to surrender to Xuanmen. It’s said that three of the Dukes are inclined to surrender. Only Duke Bosi, the most powerful, is unwilling, while the other three are persuading him.”

”Thinking of surrendering?” Ye Haochuan slightly furrowed his brows.

Currently, Xuanmen’s influence was immense; there were no longer any opponents in this world. The Blood Clan’s high-level combat power and size of their force were insufficient to rival Xuanmen.

After all, the Blood Clan were only a branch of the western Holy See within the three Evil Sects. Even the union of the three Evil Sects couldn’t defeat Xuanmen, let alone this branch.

For Xuanmen, the Blood Clan’s surrender is undoubtedly a great thing, at least reducing personnel casualties.

Ye Haochuan was displeased because he had just promised to avenge Sophia, and now with the Evil Sect surrendering, wouldn’t he be breaking his word?
