Ying Yang stayed up half the night, organizing his subordinates and instructing them to evacuate the small island.
Ming Yue knew this guy had ulterior motives.
When she heard his words, she was even more certain that Ying Yang intended to deal with her.
"Hall Master, why are we leaving now? We've been planning for so long, and only killing the young lady and those old guys would be a huge loss. Tomorrow, Zhe Cheng will bring the young lady's people to the wedding. If we make our move then, wouldn't it be better if only our people were left inside Wushang?"
One of Ying Yang's subordinates asked with a face full of confusion.
"Idiot, if we wait until tomorrow when they arrive, can we still leave so easily? Will you be buried with them then? Besides, even if we can leave, so many people will have died, how would we explain it? If we leave now, only Ming Yue and those old guys will die. Even if there's an investigation, it can be said to be an accident. This way, I can legitimately become the head of Wushang. If Ming Yue and her supporters die together, anyone with eyes will immediately suspect me. That would cause trouble and complications. Do you understand? If you don't understand, shut up and do as I say."
Ying Yang reprimanded the subordinate who had asked the question loudly.
Everything he said was overheard by Ming Yue, who was hidden in the shadows.
She finally understood that Ying Yang wanted to be the head of Wushang and had been plotting to get rid of her. That's why he used their deceased father's name to lure her to this small island to hold a wedding. She had to admit, Ying Yang's acting skills were superb; she and Ji Shiyou had both been fooled. They thought Ying Yang, as her maternal family, didn't want Ming Yue to be wronged. But it turned out that all of this was a trap set by Ying Yang. His goal was to create the illusion of Ming Yue's accidental death. That way, Ying Yang, as Ming Yue's sworn brother, could naturally take over Wushang and become the head.
Ming Yue now saw Ying Yang's true face, but she still couldn't figure out how Ying Yang could kill her without anyone noticing and disguise it as an accident. However, she didn't have time to think further, as the first batch of Ying Yang's subordinates who were preparing to leave were ready. There were a hundred people in the room, and if they dispersed, Ming Yue, being alone, would be at a disadvantage.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you leaving?"
Ming Yue dispelled her invisibility charm and blocked the doorway, stopping those who were about to leave.
"Young Lady!"
To their surprise, Ming Yue appeared at this moment, and Ying Yang's subordinates cried out in shock. Their voices were filled with panic, and their eyes involuntarily turned to Ying Yang, who was seated at the head of the table.
"The bride cannot run around the day before her wedding. You should stay in your room obediently; this is not proper. The truth is, we're still short of some ingredients for tomorrow's wedding, so I'm sending them out of the island to purchase them. You just need to be the beautiful bride; don't worry about these trivial matters, leave them to me."
Ying Yang stood up from his chair and slowly walked towards Ming Yue, saying with a serious expression.
"Leave it to you? I'm afraid I won't even know how I died. Isn't that right, Brother Ying Yang! All this that you've meticulously planned, it's not for my wedding preparations, but for my funeral, isn't it?"
Ming Yue sneered with disdain. Before she finished speaking, she waved her hands, and a shower of silver light enveloped Ying Yang and his subordinates. It was her portable silver needles. Since the truth was out, she had no intention of wasting time talking to Ying Yang. She also didn't want to waste time guessing Ying Yang's plan. Capturing these people and interrogating them was the quickest solution. Therefore, while speaking, she launched a surprise attack when they were not prepared.
Ying Yang's subordinates were caught off guard. They fell to the ground, unable to move, after being struck by Ming Yue's silver needles. However, even though Ying Yang was hit by many silver needles, it had no effect on him.
"Since you know everything, I'll tell you. That's right, I intend to use the wedding as a pretense to create the illusion of your accidental death. You are not fit to be the head of Wushang. With you here, Wushang will be destroyed one day. You are too benevolent. Father's biggest mistake was entrusting Wushang to you. I am the most suitable head for Wushang, but those stubborn old guys support you. I arranged for those who opposed you back then, and they were all killed by them. I had no choice but to lie low, endure hardship, and secretly prepare to kill you. I've been preparing this island for five years, and I was worried about how to lure you here. Unexpectedly, heaven sent a golden opportunity; you're getting married, it's as if heaven itself is helping me. Using the excuse of holding a wedding to lure you and those old guys to the island, this reason couldn't be better."
His plot exposed and revealed by Ming Yue, Ying Yang still maintained his icy expression. He appeared confident and in control, pulling out the silver needles from his body one by one and throwing them on the ground. Then, he took off his outer robe, revealing a close-fitting golden silk armor underneath. No wonder Ming Yue's silver needles were ineffective against him. From this, one could see how sinister Ying Yang's mind was.
"Don't think you've won just because you discovered my plan and subdued my subordinates. Even if you are a disciple of Master Qing Lan and have inherited her true teachings, you cannot escape your fate today. Because humans cannot defy nature, my dear sister, await the arrival of death!"
A rare smile appeared at the corners of Ying Yang's mouth. However, this smile was filled with malice and triumph. Immediately after, a round object appeared in his hand from nowhere, and he threw it fiercely onto the ground. As the sphere landed, Ying Yang leaped out of the window like lightning. The sphere was thrown between him and Ming Yue. Upon landing, it released smoke that quickly filled the entire room.
Ming Yue immediately realized that the smoke was highly toxic and would cause immediate death upon inhalation. She decisively gave up pursuing Ying Yang through the window, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve to prevent inhaling the poisonous smoke. She retreated outside the door, circled around, and went to pursue Ying Yang. Because to know what schemes were laid out on this island, only Ying Yang was left. The sphere he had just thrown was not only to block Ming Yue but also to silence witnesses. The poisonous smoke was extremely potent; even a small amount inhaled would result in immediate death. His subordinates had already gone to report to the King of Hell. His ruthlessness was to prevent Ming Yue from knowing his arrangements.
Due to taking a detour, by the time Ming Yue caught up, Ying Yang's figure had already disappeared. However, she knew in her heart that Ying Yang must have lost his way to the helipad; he was trying to leave the island. Ming Yue's guess was correct. When she arrived, Ying Yang was already in the pilot's seat of a helicopter, looking at her with a blank expression and a mocking glint in his eyes. She saw him take a remote control from his body and press it. Several other planes on the helipad exploded with a roar, leaving only the one he was in. Explosions were also heard from the direction of the distant harbor, indicating that the ships docked there had also been destroyed. He had destroyed all means of departure, intending to prevent anyone on the island from leaving.
Then, Ying Yang pressed a button on the control panel and started the helicopter. The fierce airflow from the rotating propellers blew Ming Yue's hair as she rushed over from a distance. She watched helplessly as the helicopter piloted by Ying Yang lifted off the ground and ascended.
