Chapter 454: Chapter 450 Ye Family, Long Lie Chapter 454: Chapter 450 Ye Family, Long Lie “Let’s see if you can escape death this time,” Helan Nade said coldly.

Helan Nade’s icy gaze fixed on room 512. He refused to believe that Fang Xiaocao and her subordinates, despite their abilities, could come out unscathed against the ambush of the Vermilion Bird and six top-tier Guest Elders.

“Who’s the bastard causing trouble here?”

“Get the hell out!”

Just then, a roar erupted from room 512, stunning Helan Nade.

The voice was eerily familiar.

It sent a wave of panic through Helan Nade.

The next second!

Boom–
A loud noise came from the room.

A figure was sent flying out and smashed brutally against the corridor wall.

Helan Nade focused his eyes and saw the person thrown out was one of his own Guest Elders.

An ominous feeling crept over him.

Helan Nade turned anxiously to the members of the Blacklist: “Aren’t you going to make your move?”

One of the female members cracked a slight smile: “Helan Family Head, we need to ensure the enemies in the other rooms don’t escape. Besides, the room is too small for so many people to fight effectively.”

Hearing this, Helan Nade was lost for words.

He cursed himself internally for his stupidity.

In his worry, he had forgotten the obvious.

Helan Nade could only wait helplessly outside the door, feeling increasingly that something about the person in room 512 wasn’t quite right–there was a trap waiting for him.

Boom–
The next second!

Another figure was thrown out.

Helan Nade looked–
Indeed, it was another of his Guest Elders!

“Who is inside there?”

Helan Nade couldn’t stand idly by any longer. He strode forward, picked up his Guest Elder, and demanded in a deep voice.

“It’s Long Lie of the Ye Family.”

The Guest Elder replied, clutching his chest.

“What?”

Helan Nade was shocked.

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and cold sweat formed on his forehead as the terrible premonition grew stronger.

“Who else is in the room?”

“Speak quickly!”

Helan Nade nearly roared the words.

“The Young Master of Ye Family, Ye Lingchen.”

The Guest Elder’s words were as shocking as a death sentence.

Helan Nade felt as if struck by lightning.

Thud–
Helan Nade let go of his grip.

The Guest Elder he had been holding dropped heavily to the ground.

Like a bag of trash.

“We’re doomed, we’re doomed.”

“The Ye Family has actually joined the fight in this manner,” Helan Nade muttered to himself.

By now, Helan Nade was well aware that he had fallen into a trap.

Publicly assassinating the Young Master of Ye Family–
And in Beijing, at that.

If it was the Blacklist, a mysterious force without a fixed location, it might be slightly less disastrous.

The Ye Family would have no opportunity for revenge.

As long as Ye Lingchen was unharmed, adhering to the principle of leaving some leeway for the sake of future goodwill, the Ye Family would be too lazy to waste resources to seek them out.

This was also why the Ye Family had almost no enemies in Jianghu.

The Head of the Ye Family dared to let his naive son roam Jianghu without top-tier Guest Elders.

Any hero short on cash was brazen enough to kidnap Ye Lingchen for a ransom, or to lend a hand to Prince Ye if he encountered trouble in Jianghu, just to make some pocket change.

But whether for ransom or rescue,
No one had ever harmed Ye Lingchen.

And those who could find their stronghold…

Did they really think the Ye Family, the dominant force in Beijing, was a toothless paper tiger?

As for those who found the stronghold, let alone humans, not even a chicken or dog was spared, and the eggs in the fridge would all end up with their yolks shattered.

With one hand offering sweet jujubes, and the other wielding a butcher’s knife.

Bestowing favor and asserting dominance, he had played his cards well.

Anyone with brains could deduce the correct choice.

It was obvious–
The Helan family was a noble house, belonging to the latter category.

The kind whose egg yolks got scattered when shaken.

At this moment, Helan Nade felt as if the sky had come crashing down.

Although his Helan family had always touted themselves as the second greatest noble house in Beijing,
Insiders knew better.

No one was more aware of the gap between the Helan family and the Ye Family than him, the Family Head.

Unbeatable, utterly unassailable.

In all of China, the only entity recognized to have surpassed top-tier was in the Ye Family.

Of course, the last one recognized to have surpassed top-tier was also from the Ye Family, but that was a hundred years ago, and he should have long been dead.

So this one was the only one now.

What was even more shattering for Helan Nade–
That guy’s name was Long Lie.

The one from Room 512.

Able to fling out two of his family’s top-level Guest Elders, even when facing seven opponents–
Bang–
Now, three had been thrown out.

The rumors were surely not unfounded!

“Stop fighting, stop fighting!”

“It’s all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!”

Helan Nade howled as he rushed towards Room 512.

He needed to quell the Ye Family’s wrath before the misunderstanding got out of hand.

Just in case someone was foolish enough–
Spit it out, all of his Guest Elders recognized Young Master of Ye Family, Ye Lingchen; they wouldn’t be so foolish.

Just in case Vermilion Bird was senseless enough to harm Prince Ye and the Ye Family couldn’t find the Blacklist’s lair, they would undoubtedly hold his Helan family accountable.

“I, Helan Nade, refuse to be the scapegoat.”

Helan Nade muttered through gritted teeth.

“Don’t fight anymore.”

Helan Nade shouted.

Before his words fell, Helan Nade only felt a blur before his eyes as a figure flew past him.

The fourth of his Guest Elders had been launched into the air.

Seeing only two Guest Elders remaining, Helan Nade urgently called out, “You two, withdraw! Who gave you the gall to challenge in front of the Young Master of Ye Family!”

Helan Nade was an old fox.

It seemed as if he was ordering the two Guest Elders to retreat, but in reality, he was disassociating himself from them.

Hearing Helan Nade’s call, the two Guest Elders exchanged a glance and immediately hid behind Vermilion Bird, who was directly engaging Long Lie’s assault.

While Long Lie was entangled with Vermilion Bird.

The two Guest Elders swiftly extricated themselves and retreated.

Returning to Helan Nade’s side.

“Family Head, what do we do now?”

One Guest Elder whispered.

“Wait and see how things unfold.”

Helan Nade whispered back.

“Just now, your few attacks on Long Lie already drained a lot of his energy, and with six top-tier Blacklist masters yet to take action, along with Vermilion Bird, even if they don’t kill Long Lie, they might tire him out. Once Long Lie is dead, Ye Lingchen is no longer a concern.”

Helan Nade said with a sinister expression.

“If that’s the case, Family Head, let our brothers join in too!”

“With thirteen top-tier masters laying siege, even if Long Lie is an Immortal, he’d have to lie down obediently in death.”

One Guest Elder murmured quietly.

“Pigheaded fool!”

“Long Lie is a man of the Ye Family, whether dead or alive, it cannot be linked to our Helan family.”

“Otherwise, the Ye Family won’t let us off.”

Helan Nade said with a grave tone.

Helan Nade’s head hurt; why did all his Guest Elders have brains like pigs?

After hearing Helan Nade’s words, the six Guest Elders all exhibited an expression of sudden enlightenment.

“The four of you, make it more convincing–why are you standing up if you’re injured?”

Helan Nade chided in a low voice as he looked at the four heads that gathered around.

Thump–
Before Helan Nade finished speaking, the four Guest Elders of the Helan family immediately fell stiffly.

Another even started to feign convulsions.

Helan Nade took a deep breath, feeling somewhat weary at heart.
