From Alfalfa's performance in the main hall to the discreet dining in the side hall, Huang Tian has regarded her as a significant threat. This is also one of the reasons he is willing to assist Ye Feng in eliminating her, not just at Xie Tianyu's request. However, this also reflects that Alfalfa is not an easily deceived woman.
Xie Tianyu could tell this from the malicious actions of the young man who delivered the wine. Therefore, for their plan to succeed perfectly, their biggest challenge would be to avoid Alfalfa's notice.
"I understand, Your Highness. To ensure Ye Feng's success, we must make Alfalfa believe that you are truly dead! And that you died from her poisoned wine!" Xie Tianyu said insightfully.
Huang Tian nodded and replied, "That's not simple. A typical faked death would definitely not fool Alfalfa, so it must be a 'real death'!"
"Real death?" Xie Tianyu was somewhat worried. It was clearly impossible for Huang Tian to actually die to facilitate Ye Feng's assassination. But what other options were there?
Huang Tian continued, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. There are many ways to simulate death that closely resemble real death. However, choosing a method that is closest and cannot be detected by Alfalfa is not easy. Even I can only think of Turtle Breathing!"
"Turtle Breathing? Is that the technique that forcibly stops the heartbeat and causes blood stagnation, resulting in no signs of life?" Xie Tianyu had heard of this but did not know how to perform it.
"Exactly. The problem is, how do you find someone who knows this technique within the time of a single incense stick?" Huang Tian posed the final challenge. Clearly, he did not know it either, and the effect of the poisoned wine lasted for just one incense stick. If they could not complete their plan within that time frame, everything would be in vain.
"Well, in the end, it's still pointless talk, right?" Xie Tianyu felt disappointed. No matter how he looked at it, they could not accomplish this step. Just then, however, Huang Tian raised an enigmatic smile and said, "That may not be the case!"
"Your Highness, do you have a solution?" Xie Tianyu asked excitedly upon hearing this.
Huang Tian shook his head in disappointment but then offered a glimmer of hope: "I may not have it, but that doesn't mean others don't, right, young friend Ye Feng?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu shivered; it was clearly hinting that there were people outside the walls!
He quickly looked outside but saw no figures. It was strange; despite Huang Tian's earlier commotion, no guards had come. In truth, it was a realm he could not comprehend; the explosive energy seemed terrifying but caused little actual disturbance!
Or rather, the scope involved is merely this side hall, while the more subtle powerful aura is something ordinary people cannot perceive. Only those true strong ones can sense the changes within the palace from miles away!
This kind of change would naturally provoke the fastest reactions from those strongest individuals closest to Huang Tian! Ye Feng certainly qualifies as one of them!
Once Huang Tian exposed the hidden Ye Feng, he quickly appeared in a place that Xie Tianyu had not noticed. He walked in from outside the hall, his expression somewhat complex. After seeing Huang Tian, he performed a greeting, seemingly aware that the other party had known he was coming all along but had never made it clear!
It was only when Huang Tian encountered an insurmountable problem that he thought of Ye Feng's potential.
Upon meeting again, Ye Feng's state of mind was not as open as before. Although he had not heard the previous conversation between the two, he had just arrived and thus missed out on more plans. He was also unaware that Huang Tian had already calculated him into the mix!
However, the powerful aura displayed by Huang Tian made him realize that this guy was simply pretending to be weak while hiding his strength! He had always been stronger than himself and was indeed the man closest to Ye Feng on this continent!
Faced with him, Ye Feng lost his confidence, and a complex expression appeared on his face. The atmosphere among the three was somewhat off!
"You... when did you arrive?" Xie Tianyu asked without thinking too much, worried whether this guy had overheard all their conversations, speaking somewhat lacking in confidence.
Ye Feng did not say anything, forcing a smile, while Huang Tian said, "To keep it brief, we don't have much time left to plan here. If we don't strategize soon and other strong ones are attracted over, we might not be able to pull off this act!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu had no choice but to swallow all his doubts! Huang Tian then looked at Ye Feng without saying anything; his meaning was clear. He must have heard about Turtle Breathing, so there was no need to elaborate further!
Sure enough, Ye Feng opened his mouth and said, "I understand a bit about that. However, it might be somewhat risky for you. Are you sure you want to proceed this way?"
As soon as he spoke, Xie Tianyu wanted to say something but swallowed it back down. He initially wanted to say they should get started quickly since, as Huang Tian mentioned, lingering any longer would surely lead to being discovered!
However, the matter concerned the life and death of Huang Tian. As his subordinate, his identity and position were sensitive; he could not possibly disregard his master's life for a friend like Ye Feng!
On the contrary, Huang Tian showed no hesitation and said sternly, "Just tell me, how confident are you? I only know that if this Turtle Breathing technique cannot be resolved within a certain time, then he will truly die!"
This statement was accurate. After hearing it, Ye Feng felt somewhat troubled but also grateful for the sacrifice Huang Tian was willing to make. Although he did not understand Huang Tian's motives, it seemed that he was genuinely committed to eliminating Alfalfa... In reality, it was merely a carefully considered decision by Huang Tian!
But in truth, Ye Feng had no understanding of what Turtle Breathing was. It should be noted that even someone like Huang Tian, a Mythical Prince who had traveled the world, had only heard of such secret techniques. Ye Feng, a novice, knew nothing about it! However, just because he did not know did not mean that the presence in his mind was unaware!
Xuan Lao was an ancient being who had survived through time and likely knew more than anyone else. When Ye Feng arrived at this hidden location, Xuan Lao informed him that he understood Turtle Breathing but warned that this technique was indeed very dangerous!
It was a method that involved sealing off the vital points of a living person through acupressure. Once the acupoints were sealed, the living person would be indistinguishable from a dead one. However, if this sealing method was maintained for too long, the living person would truly die! Therefore, the duration for which it could be sustained was crucial!
"Kid, this is a vicious secret technique. You must execute it without any mistakes; otherwise, you will really end up killing that guy. Speaking of which, I misjudged him. Throughout history, there has never been a young person so close to Ye Feng. Not even you can compare; even Old Man feels inferior!" Xuan Lao's words weighed heavily on Ye Feng's mind.
As for Huang Tian, Ye Feng naturally held no hostility towards him and had even come to regard him as a friend. If he were to truly harm this friend, he would not be able to live with himself! But to eliminate Alfalfa, both of them had to make certain sacrifices or take risks!
"I understand, Xuan Lao. I will do my best!"
"Not just do your best! You must succeed!"
"Uh, okay, I got it!"
"Good! Then tell them you have one hundred percent confidence!"
In his mind, after a brief exchange, Ye Feng took a few deep breaths and looked at Huang Tian and Xie Tianyu with determination. He summarized everything he knew, and seeing his confident demeanor, both of them nodded in agreement.
Huang Tian said, "I hope we can truly connect. I remember everything I promised you. After we eliminate Alfalfa, if you really become the Heaven's Abyss Prophet and come to the Qin Empire in the future, your matters will be my matters!"
Xie Tianyu was unaware of any agreements made between the two, but he was still moved that his master was willing to pay such a heavy price for Ye Feng. After all, his master valued his own life greatly... It would be unfortunate if Alfalfa didn't kill him, but he ended up dying at the hands of his own people!
"Enough talk! I understand your intentions. Regardless of whether we can eliminate Alfalfa this time or not, I, Ye Feng, guarantee that in the Sky Abyss Empire, your life is my life! I will do everything to protect you!" Ye Feng expressed his heartfelt sentiments while feeling touched.
Although he thought that if it came down to a fight, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Huang Tian, this did not affect the sincerity and friendship they had established.
Huang Tian smiled and gestured to Xie Tianyu, saying, "You can leave now. Since the matter of delivering wine is done, that princess must be waiting for news of my demise. During this time, continue to lurk in the Princess Mansion to gather information. As for me, I'll leave it to the strategist and others!"
Xie Tianyu nodded and replied obediently, "Understood. Prophet, please take care. Ye Feng, also take care! A man must not forget his promises; my master's life is entrusted to you!"
Feeling the weight of Alexander's presence, Ye Feng nodded solemnly in response and then clasped his fists as he watched Xie Tianyu leave. Afterward, they exchanged glances but did not move immediately because they both sensed something.
"Very powerful—much stronger than us..."
"Yes, it seems a true Ye Feng has set his sights on us!"
"Heh, it's not me he's focused on; it's you. The aura you released earlier even made me uneasy; let alone a true powerhouse..."
"Don't underestimate yourself; you're not much weaker than me. Xie Tianyu told me about Chifeng—you're very strong, truly strong..."
"Really? How about you?"
"About the same..."
"Then do you think if we stay here, and that Ye Feng really shows up later, will we have a chance to escape?"
"I'm afraid... not!"
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Uh... please!"
With a whoosh, Ye Feng's figure swiftly disappeared into the side hall. Huang Tian was momentarily stunned, then let out a curse in surprise, laughingly scolding, "You little brat, you really run fast!" After saying that, he also wiped the smile off his face, his feet moving in a staggered pattern as he formed hand seals, and his figure rapidly vanished beyond a kilometer!
Once the two had completely left the side hall... a voice echoed from ten thousand meters above in the sky.
"Youthful heroes emerge; at such a young age, to reach this height, we are old..." This voice lingered endlessly, piercing through the vast sky! It resonated across the ancient and unchanging firmament! Only true masters could hear this unparalleled echo!
