Chapter 241 Human Heart
Overstepping your bounds!
In terms of power, the vassal kings of the Four Realms and the Chief Directors of the Three Great Offices are on the same level, each attending to their own duties, responsible for different domains. Only the Great General of Nation Guard and the Great Guardian Sect Leader in the imperial capital truly have the right to mobilize all the nation's resources.
Ge Nie cursed Ye Feng in his heart, calling him no good. The old man had made a special trip to support him, yet Ye Feng was so overeager to order him around as if he were a servant?
Don't think that just because this old man admires you, you can do whatever you wish, it's for the sake of the nation's grand strategy.
Endure it!
Ge Nie communicated secretly, as a matter of fact, at this moment, the people from the Three Great Offices were hesitating. With the message from the Chief Director of the Supervisory Heaven Department, they immediately took action to apprehend.
After all, although the three main offices of the Xuanyuan Nation were entrusted with different duties, the three heads at the top usually acted as one. The will of one person represented the collective will of all three, in other words, they shared a bond as close as wearing the same pair of trousers.
Dare to resist?
Of course, no one dared, just as the king's authority is untouchable. When the three main offices come together to take someone down, even if you have a great injustice, you must obediently surrender. Those who resist are directly disposed of as traitors to the state, killed without the responsibility of disposing of the body.@@@@
The Liang Family was the first to be taken down; the Xu Family had almost been wiped out, followed by the people of the Martial Alliance. At this moment, the leaders of these Three Great Powers were ashen-faced.
The three main offices were actually obeying Ye Feng's orders!
What did this mean?
The way the people around looked at Ye Feng changed. If before they saw him merely as someone who could show off the valor of a common man, now, he was undoubtedly seen as a person who possessed both courage and strategy, a true human True Dragon.
"Director Elder Ge, please, take a seat!"
"Who would have thought, who would have thought that my Xuanyuan Nation would have such a figure like Director Elder Ge, old but vigorous, and excellent in Kung Fu. If I'm not mistaken, half a month ago in the Eastern Border, that was you, wasn't it, Director Elder Ge?
And if I remember correctly, a few months ago, the directors of the Three Great Offices were all in the imperial capital," Ye Feng said with a playful tone, his smile implying something deeper.
Before, I didn't know that the directors of the three main offices were above the Martial King. Now that I think about it, I often urged that old bastard Cao Yi from the Punishment Heaven Department, who is so feeble he can barely walk, it's laughable. Perhaps this is what they call...
Only after climbing one mountain do you realize how high the next one is!
"Yes, what you said is right."
Ge Nie agreed, probably knowing where Ye Feng was coming from with his anger.
You guess!
Guess all you want, I, for one, don't know a thing. In the end, it's the older ones who have thicker skins; Ge Nie was just short of feigning insanity and stupidity.
"Director Elder Ge, there is no need to be nervous. My respect for you and the other senior predecessors is like the water of the great river, endless and unceasing."
"And today, I have to thank Elder Ge!"
Ye Feng raised his cup, substituting tea for wine, and drank it down first.
No need to say anything!
After all, Ye Feng had already fumbled his way through to a lot of clues about the assassination attempt in the imperial capital, and the truth was not far from him.
"It's nothing!"
"Old Northern Ning teaching you, such a disciple, is not only a blessing of three lifetimes but also a fortune for our Xuanyuan Nation," Ge Nie complimented, indirectly flattering Ye Feng, who gladly accepted, especially since it involved things related to Old Northern King.
You compliment, feel free to compliment!
If it could bring the dead back to life with praise, I would thank you for a lifetime.
"What's next?"
The topic shifted, and both men looked outside. Ye Feng smiled. Why was everyone now looking down? Where had the courage to face off and provoke him just moments ago gone?
"You come, of course, you come. Right now, old man, I'm just your henchman," Ge Nie replied nonchalantly.
This old coot!
Still holding grudges, Ye Feng's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't bother with Ge Nie anymore and commanded:
"Bring in Liang Ye and Xu Tierui."
The Great Worship of the Liang Family had just shown signs of flinching but was immediately stopped by a glance from Liang Ye.
"Xu Tierui, I'm very curious."
"Xu Tierui, do you think by betraying me, you can survive? You always claim you descend from the Ten Great Famous Generals, are you even worthy?"
"Pah! Everyone in Northern Su knows that you, Xu Tierui, are nothing but an outcast bastard. General Ye, Director Ge, what I want to say is, Xu Tierui began plotting against his own brother more than twenty years ago. His venomous tactics first made Xu Tiefeng sterile, and then he colluded with me to ambush him, taking the chance to usurp the position of Xu Family Patriarch."
"The most heartless and ruthless person in this world is Xu Tierui. He deserves to die the most!"
Liang Ye laughed, his laughter tinged with madness and exhaustion. He knew he was too culpable to live, but if he could take this traitor down with him.
It would be satisfying!
In contrast, Ye Feng and Ge Nie were silent at this moment.
Such is the human heart!
Ye Feng inwardly sighed. He had suspected that there were secrets within the Xu family, but he had not anticipated such depravity, beginning over twenty years ago—truly vile.
"Beast!"
"Despite the kindness General Xu showed you, you dared to commit such atrocious acts. If you do not deserve death, then who does? I'll execute you myself."
While Ye Feng stood still, Ge Nie couldn't take it anymore.
In an instant, he was at Xu Tierui's side, giving no chance for excuses, and struck down towards his head. Xu Tierui's eyes instantly filled with blood, and with a loud crash, he fell to the ground.
"Descendant of General Xu?"
Ye Feng looked at Ge Nie. Such matters were happening in Northern Su, where the headquarters of the Supervisory Heaven Department was located. No wonder the old man was enraged.
"He's not dead. That bastard at least has a hint of conscience. Otherwise, I would have flayed him alive."
Ge Nie said ferociously, the rage still evident in his eyes.
"It's your turn now."
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow towards Liang Ye.
"General Ye, the person who incited me against you was Shasha Sea..."
Before Liang Ye could finish speaking, a sudden flash of silver light attacked from behind him.
"Die!"
The corner of the Liang family's Great Worship's mouth curved in a smile, followed by him instantly flinging away two guards who were watching him.
"Damn it!"
"It infuriates me beyond belief that you dare to be violent in front of me."
As two members of the Supervisory Heaven Department met their ends, Ge Nie was beyond furious. Ye Feng only saw a blur as the Great Worship's movements stiffened.
Hiss! One by one—
In the hall, all onlookers were horrified to see the body of the Liang family's Great Worship continuously cracking and then falling to the ground piece by piece like shards of glass.
Such a death was truly horrendous to witness!
Was this the might of the Divine Path?
Ye Feng's pupils also contracted— even he couldn't see how Ge Nie had struck. And if one looked closely at the Great Worship's eyeballs, they were still moving.
God only knows the level of his despair!
"Director Elder Ge, with your vast knowledge, do you know where Shasha Sea is?"
Liang Ye was dead, and the Great Worship was closest to him. Nobody expected that the latter would suddenly strike a deadly blow to silence him.
"Shasha Sea," seemingly a place name, so at this moment, Ye Feng wasn't inclined to think of it as a person's name.
"Never heard of it, but I'll keep an eye out for you."
Ge Nie shook his head.
Let it be!

Seeing that Ge Nie did not appear to be lying, Ye Feng let it go, fully aware that the old man had just now had the ability to control the Liang family's Great Worship but chose not to.
