Ye Kunlun thought for a moment, then patted Zhuge Chu's shoulder, "I'll keep this item for safekeeping for now!"
There was a force within the Ding Shui Pearl that was calling to him, and until he understood it, he would temporarily hold it for Zhuge Chu.
"Also, this is yours from now on!"
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun produced three small flags and pressed them into Zhuge Chu's hand.
Zhuge Chu stared at the items in his hand, then cried out in excitement, "Heavens, these are formation flags!"
The Zhuge lineage excelled in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and formation setting was an extremely profound branch of it.
Moreover, setting up a formation required an eye of the formation, and the higher the level of the eye of the formation, the more powerful the formation would be.
Formation flags served as the eyes of the formation.
However, formation flags were exceedingly rare because the method of refining one was incredibly complex, and nowadays, almost no one could refine them!
Even though Zhuge Chu was the sole successor of the Zhuge family, by his generation, not a single formation flag remained in his possession!
Ye Kunlun had produced three formation flags at once, in red, yellow, and blue. Each flag contained immense power.
Zhuge Chu knew these three formation flags were extremely valuable. Overwhelmed with emotion, he quickly tried to return them, "Boss, this is too precious..."
"If you act so distant with me again, don't call me boss anymore!"
Ye Kunlun interrupted Zhuge Chu coldly, his eyes carrying a warning.
Zhuge Chu shivered and swallowed the rest of his words.
"Thank you, boss!"
Zhuge Chu no longer stood on ceremony and pocketed the formation flags.
"Hmm? It seems someone wants to cause trouble today." Ye Kunlun sensed several figures approaching the Zhuge residence.
Ye Kunlun shifted his position, and several figures simultaneously appeared.
"Your Excellency, Lord Hanshan requests your presence." The leader, an old man with a youthful face and white hair, looked at Ye Kunlun coldly. "Come with us."
Ye Kunlun hadn't expected them to be from Lord Hanshan's retinue. He replied coldly, "Scram!"
Zhuge Chu hurried out. Upon seeing the attire of the figures, he immediately recognized their affiliation.
"Gentlemen, my boss has other matters today and will not trouble Lord Hanshan. He will certainly pay a personal visit another day!"
Zhuge Chu feared Ye Kunlun would clash with Lord Hanshan's men.
After all, the royal family was supreme in the capital, and Ye Kunlun already had enough enemies. If he offended the royal family again, he wouldn't be able to stay in the capital.
"When did it become your place to interject?"
The old man with the youthful face and white hair snorted, unleashing his fearsome true energy, which sent Zhuge Chu staggering back four or five steps.
Zhuge Chu's face turned pale. Forcing a smile, he was about to speak when he saw Ye Kunlun directly attack the old man!
Ye Kunlun unleashed a punch, its power akin to the collapse of heaven and earth, tearing the very air apart.
The old man with the youthful face and white hair had no chance to evade and was directly struck through the chest by Ye Kunlun's punch!
"You, you..."
Ye Kunlun looked coldly at the dead old man, who had died with his eyes wide open, never expecting to perish so easily at Ye Kunlun's hands.
Ye Kunlun withdrew his hand. The terrifying aura gathered on his fist made the remaining figures' faces turn fearful.
"Attack together and kill this person!"
Another elder shouted and was the first to charge at Ye Kunlun.
They were all venerated guests of the Hanshan King's manor. If they retreated now, they would have no face left.
Instantly, terrifying auras enveloped Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun's gaze was indifferent. He had killed so many top assassins over two consecutive nights, yet the people in the capital still hadn't learned their lesson.
It seemed he hadn't killed enough people!
Ye Kunlun struck out with his fists, his martial arts swift and powerful. Anyone who met his fists was instantly killed!
Within three breaths, all of them were killed with a single punch from Ye Kunlun.
"Boss, offending the royal family will likely bring trouble!" Zhuge Chu looked at the corpses scattered everywhere, his brow furrowed with concern.
"From what I know, the royal family harbors several old monsters whose strength is terrifying."
Zhuge Chu knitted his brows, seemingly contemplating a solution.
"If those old fossils aren't afraid of death, they can come find me."
Ye Kunlun said calmly, looking at the worried Zhuge Chu. He didn't care at all whether they were from the royal family.
Moreover, his senior sister Ye Feihua had already dealt with Lord Heishan and Lord Baishan. Him killing a few of Lord Hanshan's men was nothing.
Zhuge Chu gave a wry smile. Ye Kunlun was truly lawless.
Just then, a black luxury car drove towards them. A bodyguard stepped out and opened the door, and Lord Hanshan slowly alighted.
He didn't even glance at the bodies on the ground, as if the deceased had no relation to him.
"Young friend Ye, I said we would meet again soon."
Lord Hanshan smiled and walked towards Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun dared to be presumptuous, but Zhuge Chu did not. He quickly addressed Lord Hanshan, "Zhuge Chu of the Zhuge family, pays his respects to Lord Hanshan."
"Young Zhuge, retreat for now. I have a few words to say to young friend Ye!"
Lord Hanshan glanced at Zhuge Chu.
Zhuge Chu did not move.
If Lord Hanshan were to make a move against Ye Kunlun, he could offer some assistance by being present!
"What? Do my words not carry weight?" Lord Hanshan's anger flared slightly.
"You go back first," Ye Kunlun instructed Zhuge Chu.
He wanted to see what Lord Hanshan was up to.
Only then did Zhuge Chu retreat back to the Zhuge residence.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Ye Kunlun looked coldly at Lord Hanshan, who wore a smiling mask.
Lord Hanshan chuckled, "I've heard you're particularly fond of making deals. Are you interested in making one with me?"
"That depends on whether your deal can pique my interest."
Ye Kunlun chuckled, mocking, "Moreover, for a lord to come and talk to me about a deal, aren't you afraid the people in the capital will find out and mock you?"
"Heh heh."
Lord Hanshan laughed out loud. "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come to make a deal with you, and I believe you will find it very interesting."
"Speak, you have thirty seconds." Ye Kunlun had no intention of wasting more words with Lord Hanshan.
Lord Hanshan replied with a smile, "The Three Gods Society, interested?"
"I've heard about your affairs, including what happened ten years ago. Coincidentally, I know some things about the Three Gods Society."
"You want revenge, I'll give you information about the Three Gods Society, and you help me with one thing. How about this deal?"
Lord Hanshan looked at Ye Kunlun with certainty, appearing to have calculated that Ye Kunlun would agree to his offer.
"Help you with one thing?"
Ye Kunlun raised an eyebrow, as if hearing a joke, his eyes growing colder. "What if I refuse?"
"Then consider me as if I never came today," Lord Hanshan replied.
A playful smile appeared on Ye Kunlun's lips. "Tell me what you need me to do first."
Lord Hanshan pointed to the car beside them and said with a smile, "Let's talk in the car. This matter is a bit complicated."
As he spoke, Lord Hanshan turned and personally opened the car door for Ye Kunlun.
