Chapter 127: Can’t Give Up the Kids to Catch the Wolf

After sending away the Empty Taoist who had come early in the morning, Ye Feng also began to worry.
Since he became a warrior, he had experienced many abductions, and he knew that if Kelly and the others were kidnapped, the situation would be beyond his control. If he couldn’t offer them what the kidnappers wanted, there was a high chance Kelly, Long Yue, and the others would be killed. After all, Ye Feng had seen how ruthless they were—the butler and maid of Dracula had been killed in such a cruel manner. If they didn’t get what they wanted, one could only imagine what they would do.
“Empty was here just now?” At that moment, Long Tian, wearing only bright-colored shorts, calmly opened the door.
“Mm,” Ye Feng nodded, but his expression wasn’t good.
“What did that old man say to you? You seem upset.” Long Tian put a toothbrush in his mouth and spoke indistinctly.
“Those men in black robes and masks might attack Long Yue and the others!” Ye Feng said helplessly.
“What exactly do they want?” Long Tian accidentally broke the toothbrush.
“They’re after me. They think I have mid-grade spirit crystals or something similar that can help them improve their cultivation or leave Earth.” Ye Feng’s frown deepened.
“Damn it! Do those guys want to use Long Yue and the others as hostages to get what they want?” Long Tian immediately understood what was going on.
“That’s right!” Ye Feng nodded helplessly.
“Don’t you have a detector? You should be able to find them as long as they’re in City H, right?” Long Tian looked at Ye Feng.
“But if they don’t wear black robes or masks, I won’t know who the killers are. You know, there are already four people at the Yuan Ying stage in City H, including you. For safety’s sake, we can’t fully trust Wudao or Empty, let alone Dracula. If more join them, things will get even more chaotic.” Ye Feng was troubled by this. “We can’t be sure that the newcomers to City H are the killers. Some might just be drawn here by the presence of so many strong fighters.”
“Then lure them out and kill them!” A fierce look flashed in Long Tian’s eyes.
“Using Long Yue and the others as bait is too dangerous!” Ye Feng disagreed. “Remember, they’re all at the Yuan Ying stage. One mistake, and Long Yue and the others could die.”

“You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!” Long Tian had made up his mind. “Besides, I already have an idea. Don’t you have an invisibility ring? After luring those men in black over, have Long Yue and the others put on the rings and hide anywhere. Your invisibility ring can also conceal their presence, so they won’t be able to find them. Then we can kill those guys!”
“Theoretically, it works!” Ye Feng thought and realized there was no other way. Whether he liked it or not, those people already had their eyes on Long Yue and the others. Instead of letting them take the initiative, it was better for him to take control.
“Nothing will go wrong! Long Yue is smart! Besides, there’s Princess Pearl too.” It was unclear whether Long Tian was praising her or mocking her.
…
Ye Feng bought another invisibility ring from the Void Realm, bringing the total to four, before knocking on the door of Long Yue’s apartment.
Zhuge Ling’er, who opened the door, looked at Long Tian and Ye Feng with some surprise. “Huh, why are you knocking on our door today?”
“What a rare sight!” Long Yue also smiled teasingly. “Are you planning to take the initiative today?”
“You know, we don’t just show up for no reason. Unlike you guys who have nothing to do all day,” Long Tian retorted irritably.
Pearl, on the other hand, looked serious. “What happened?”
“We need your help!” Although Ye Feng was reluctant to put the girls in danger, he really had no other choice now.
“What is it?” Kelly was the first to respond after hearing Ye Feng’s words.
“To be bait! To lure out the murderer who caused the massacre in the Ghost Market and killed Pearl a few days ago.” Seeing that Ye Feng hesitated, Long Tian simply explained it himself.
“That sounds pretty exciting!” Pearl didn’t object.
“What do we need to do?” Long Yue seemed unopposed as well.
“We’re not going to die, are we?” Although Zhuge Ling’er said that, her eyes sparkled with excitement; she seemed eager for this task.
“You must already have a plan. I’m willing to join!” Only Kelly reacted normally.
“Here are four invisibility rings. Don’t lose them!” Ye Feng said as he took out four rings from his pocket. “The usage is simple. By default, wearing them will make you invisible. You can adjust it as you wish.”
“Is this some kind of proposal?” Pearl winked at Ye Feng.

Long Yue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ye Feng with a smile on his face; Zhuge Ling’er stared at Ye Feng with gleaming eyes, as if waiting for him to give an answer; Kelly’s face turned red as she lowered her head, too shy to speak. Long Ge, on the other hand, acted indifferent, his face filled with a teasing smile.

“Uh… you can put on the rings first and set them to become invisible when rotated more than 90 degrees, and reappear when returned to the normal position,” Ye Feng simply ignored the question.

“What’s the plan?” Pearl, not getting the answer she wanted, tried to ease the situation for Ye Feng.

“I also have a strength detector here. I’ll authorize one of you, and then that person will be able to detect the strength of the others.” Ye Feng said as he took out something that looked like sunglasses. “Put these on and select range detection—you’ll see dots of different colors. Those with the same strength as you will be white. Since you’re all born masters, those at the Ningdan stage should appear as yellow dots, those at the Jindan stage as red, and those at the Yuan Ying stage as orange.”

“If the person wearing the glasses detects a master at the Yuan Ying stage approaching, you should hide in a crowded place and escape invisibly. Then call us as soon as possible to let us know their location. Leave the rest to us.” Ye Feng handed the glasses to the women.

“I’ll do it. I’m most familiar with City H. Having spent so many years in the world, I’m the best at escaping!” Pearl took the detector from Ye Feng without hesitation. The other women didn’t object either, as Pearl had the most experience in social situations. “If I see an orange dot approaching us, I’ll tell you to become invisible and give you the escape route and meeting point.”
