“Wait a moment.”
Seeing Feng Zhan about to leave, Huang Huahu hurriedly stopped him, “Tell me, how do you want to cooperate with me?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhan smiled and sat back down. “Huang Huahu, you are the Tiger King of our capital, in charge of the Legal Affairs Department. Do you still need me to teach you how to do things?”
“I don’t expect you to destroy Ye Kunlun. You just need to create some trouble for him from time to time.”
Huang Huahu nodded, “I know what to do. Remember the conditions you promised me. If you play me, you know the consequences.”
Feng Zhan stood up again and waved to Huang Huahu, “I, Feng Zhan, never do things I’m not sure of. What happened today, you know, I know, Heaven knows, Earth knows, and of course—the people behind me know.”
As he spoke, Feng Zhan walked out of the Huang family mansion.
Huang Huahu quickly instructed the butler beside him, “See General Feng out for me.”

After leaving the Huang residence, Feng Zhan went to a private club.
In a private room at the club, he met a rather plump middle-aged man in his fifties.
The man, upon seeing Feng Zhan, cheerfully got up to greet him, “I’ve been eagerly awaiting General Feng’s return.”
Feng Zhan looked at the smiling middle-aged man and teased, “Elder Ma is one of the heads of the Supreme Alliance in the capital. With such high status, all it takes is a word for me to meet you.”
“General Feng, you jest. General Feng is one of the three generals of the Eastern Sea War Zone. Meeting you is harder than climbing to heaven.”
Ma Guotao was being polite to Feng Zhan.
“Alright, we are old acquaintances, no need for pleasantries.”
Feng Zhan took his seat directly. “I’ve come to see Elder Ma today because I have a favor to ask.”
“I already know about General Feng’s matter. Isn’t it just about dealing with Ye Kunlun? We at the Supreme Alliance have no shortage of experts.”
“Moreover, we have been cooperating for so many years, General Feng should trust me.”
Ma Guotao said with a half-smile, “After all, we are both working for that lord.”
“Elder Ma, you should be more careful with your words. Some things cannot be said casually,” Feng Zhan reminded Ma Guotao.
Ma Guotao chuckled sheepishly. “General Feng, you are perhaps too cautious. This club is my private property. Rest assured, no one can overhear our conversation today.”
As he spoke, Ma Guotao’s eyes showed a hint of inquiry, “Did General Feng return to the capital this time on the instructions of that lord?”
“Naturally,” Feng Zhan replied, getting straight to the point. “I need at least four cultivators. Can Elder Ma help with this?”
Listening to Feng Zhan’s exorbitant request, Ma Guotao was silent for two seconds. “I need to communicate with headquarters. There are currently only two cultivators here in the capital.”
“Two cultivators, plus four Grandmasters at the Heaven tier peak should be enough,” Feng Zhan replied after some thought.
“Does it really require so many experts just to deal with Ye Kunlun?” Ma Guotao seemed confused.
“I have already met him. This person’s cultivation is unfathomable. Yan Ping suffered a loss at his hands,” Feng Zhan said with a solemn expression. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Ma Guotao nodded. “I agree to your request, but it will take three days.”
“In three days, the Supreme Alliance’s branch will elect a new head,” Ma Guotao said, handing an invitation to Feng Zhan.
“I hope General Feng can attend then,” Ma Guotao said with a smile. “Also, I’ve sent someone to deliver this invitation to the Endless Prison.”
Hearing this, Feng Zhan frowned. “What? Are you planning to give Ye Kunlun a taste of our power at the Supreme Alliance, Elder Ma?”
“Our Supreme Alliance certainly has the qualifications,” Ma Guotao said with confidence. “If this brat dares to act presumptuously at the Supreme Alliance, we’ll teach him a lesson first.”
“Moreover, I will invite the major experts of the capital, as well as the people from the seven great clans of the capital. I think they would also be curious about who Ye Kunlun really is.”
“If we give Ye Kunlun a demonstration of power in front of the seven great clans and the major experts of the capital, do you think he would dare to show disrespect to the Supreme Alliance in front of all the noble families and powerhouses in the capital?” Ma Guotao’s tone held a hint of mockery.
“At that time, even if he is a dragon, he will have to coil up before the Supreme Alliance.”
“What do you think, General Feng?” Ma Guotao asked, looking at Feng Zhan with a smile.
Feng Zhan was lost in thought. Ye Kunlun was forceful and extremely arrogant, clearly someone who wouldn’t back down. Ma Guotao’s plan to put Ye Kunlun in his place at the Supreme Alliance was not a wise move.
“Elder Ma, please reconsider.” Feng Zhan took the invitation. “I will attend in three days.”
Seeing Feng Zhan accept the invitation, Ma Guotao poured him a glass of wine. “I will be waiting for General Feng at the Supreme Alliance branch in three days.”
With that, Ma Guotao drained his glass. Feng Zhan also drank his wine, then stood up and waved to Ma Guotao. “Elder Ma, no need to see me out.”
Not long after Feng Zhan left, a man entered the room and respectfully reported to Ma Guotao, “Elder, I just received news that the Blood Hand, the uncrowned king of the Endless Prison, has returned.”
Hearing this, a murderous intent flashed in Ma Guotao’s eyes. “Blood Hand ruined my plans last time. I must kill him this time when he returns.”
“Send people to keep a close watch on the Endless Prison. Once Lei Ju and Blood Hand appear, kill them without mercy!” Ma Guotao directly ordered his subordinate. “Make sure it’s done secretly, so no one knows it was our people.”
“Elder, rest assured, your subordinate knows what to do.”
“Also, Elder Sun has reportedly invited the Vice Leaders of several sects. This might affect your chances in the election three days from now.”
Ma Guotao chuckled, his eyes growing colder. “Inviting more people is useless. The head of the branch needs to be appointed by headquarters. He is far from being able to contend with me.”
“Also, deliver this invitation to the Endless Prison and give it to Ye Kunlun.” Ma Guotao took out an invitation and handed it to his subordinate. “Tell him that in three days, the Supreme Alliance’s branch will host a banquet for the major powerhouses and noble families of the capital at the branch.”
“Your subordinate will handle it now.”
—
The next morning, at the Endless Prison.
Feng Tutu delivered an invitation to Ye Kunlun, her expression a little strange. “Young Master, someone from the Supreme Alliance branch has sent an invitation.”
“Oh?” Ye Kunlun showed some curiosity.
“They said that in two days, the branch will elect a new head and hold a banquet at the branch, inviting the major experts and noble families of the capital to witness the ceremony.”
Ye Kunlun picked up the invitation and examined it closely. A light golden seal was imprinted on the bottom right corner, bearing the character ‘Ma’.
“Elder Ma’s invitation? What a coincidence!” Ye Kunlun smiled.
“Young Master!” Just then, Blood Hand also walked in, holding an invitation in his hand.
“Young Master, Elder Sun from the Supreme Alliance branch has also sent an invitation.”
Ye Kunlun took the invitation and smiled, “This is interesting.”
