158: Chapter 158 Asura Gate 158: Chapter 158 Asura Gate “This is utter nonsense and defamatory.

Who is the bastard that said this?” Xiao Yifeng grumbled angrily.

“I don’t know, but someone is definitely trying to sabotage you behind the scenes,” Hong Mei said.

“Let me find out who it is, or they’ll learn just how formidable Xiao Yifeng can be,” Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilly light.

In the CEO’s office, Ye Yaxin sat solemnly, with Su Yan standing in front of her in a white suit.

“What’s the situation now?” Ye Yaxin asked.

“Madam President, over a dozen of our partners have terminated their contracts with us.

Most of Ye Corporation’s industries have been impacted.

As of now, Ye Corporation’s stock has plummeted by three percent, resulting in an economic loss of four billion,” Su Yan reported one by one.

“But there are two more things,” Su Yan said, her eyes twinkling as she spoke.

“What else is there?”

“I heard news that last night, ten mid-level executives from the Ishii Group were all assassinated.”

Ye Yaxin’s pupils contracted as she said, “Assassinated?

What are you talking about?”

“I don’t know.

All I know is that this happened, and as a result, today the Ishii Group has intensified their attacks on Ye Corporation.

I suspect this might be related to us,” Su Yan said, glancing at Ye Yaxin.

“Impossible, this has nothing to do with our Ye Family.” Ye Yaxin shook her head, although the Ye Family was one of Tianhai’s Four Great Clans, they certainly didn’t have the capability to do something like this.

Could it be him?

The image of Xiao Yifeng appeared in Ye Yaxin’s mind, and she shook her head again.

How could it possibly be that guy.

“What’s the other thing?” Ye Yaxin asked.

“The other matter is that rumors suddenly started spreading in the company today that the Ishii Group is retaliating against Ye Corporation because your fiancé fought over a woman with the young master of the Ishii Group and injured the latter, which enraged the Ishii Group and sparked their vengeance on Ye Corporation.

The whole company is talking about this,” Su Yan continued.

After listening to Su Yan, Ye Yaxin’s brows furrowed and she said in a deep voice, “Who started this rumor?”

“I don’t know,” Su Yan shook her head and looked at Ye Yaxin, her lips twitching slightly.

Ye Yaxin glanced at Su Yan and said, “You don’t have to believe it, that’s not what happened, and it has nothing to do with him.”

In another office, Hu Jie, Hu Mingrui, Nie Tianming, and Jiang Cundong were all gathered together.

“Jie, where did you get this news you spread?

Is it reliable?” Hu Mingrui asked Hu Jie.

“I’m not sure, someone else told me and asked me to spread it.

Regardless of whether it’s true or not, this has ruined Xiao Yifeng’s reputation within Ye Corporation,” Hu Jie said with a cold laugh.

“I wonder if Ye Corporation can withstand the assault from the Ishii Group; we might have to prepare ourselves,” Jiang Cundong mentioned worriedly.

“By the way, Hu Jie, hadn’t you hired an assassin from the Blood Soul Organization?

How come that kid isn’t dead yet?”

Nie Tianming’s eyes glinted with a fierce light; his son was still lying in the hospital, and his heart was filled with hatred for Xiao Yifeng.

At the mention of this, Hu Jie’s face turned ugly as he said, “I just received news from Blood Soul, the Bronze Assassin they sent has failed in the assassination.”

“Failed?

Didn’t you say that the Blood Soul Assassin was very powerful?

They can’t even take down a kid?” Nie Tianming’s face turned icy, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

“This kid’s kung fu is indeed very strong.

I initially hired a boxing king from M Country to teach him a lesson, but he ended up crippling both his hands.

It’s not easy to kill him, but I have already added thirty million to hire a Silver Assassin to strike at him,” Hu Jie said coldly.

“Can’t we directly hire a Gold Assassin?” Nie Tianming said coldly.

“We could, but hiring a Gold Assassin costs at least one hundred million.”

“That expensive?” Hu Mingrui and the others were all taken aback.

Even though they were all shareholders of the Ye Corporation and could be considered worth over a hundred million, it wasn’t certain they could immediately cough up a hundred million just to hire an assassin.

“If this Silver Assassin can’t kill him, I’m willing to spend a hundred million to kill him, to avenge my son,” Nie Tianming said with an icy tone.

In Tianhai, within that mysterious villa.

In the middle of an ancient-styled hall, Zuo Qing sat in the main seat, clad in a white robe, with several men of profound presence sitting on both sides.

At that moment, Kuangdao walked in briskly and said to Zuo Qing, “Master, the Asura Order has been brought here.”

“Quick, give it here!” Zuo Qing said with some excitement.

Kuangdao took out the black token from his person and handed it to Zuo Qing, as the men’s eyes in the room all stared intently at the black token.

As Zuo Qing grasped the black token, power surged, and the token’s sinister patterns burst forth with a glow, a cold and bloodthirsty aura spread from the token, sending shivers down everyone’s spine and instilling an inexplicable fear.

“It is indeed the Asura Order, this is fantastic, we’ve finally found the Asura Order.”

Zuo Qing’s face was filled with excitement, his eyes sparkling.

“Big brother, is this the Asura Gate’s treasure, the Asura Order?

I’ve never seen it before, may I have a look?”

The middle-aged man sitting to the right of Zuo Qing before him, who was Zuo Qing’s brother Zuo Mu, asked while looking at the Asura Order in Zuo Qing’s hands.

“Here,” Zuo Qing nodded and then handed the token to him.

Zuo Mu, holding the Asura Order in his hands, light flickering in his eyes, said, “Big brother, it’s said that the Asura Order is the key to opening the Asura Cave?”

“Yes, the reason it is the Asura Gate’s treasure is that it is indeed key to opening the Asura Cave.

That was also the reason the Asura Gate faced catastrophe in the past, because those major powers wanted to obtain it, to open the Asura Cave and attain the precious treasures left by the Asura Gate Ancestral Master,” Zuo Qing nodded and then continued, “However, the Asura Order is divided into four parts.

When the Asura Gate encountered the disaster, the Asura Gate Master entrusted them to our father and Right Protector, as well as to the two esteemed gentlemen, Tiangang and Di Sha.”

“And when our father fell to the encirclement by several masters, regrettably losing his life, the Asura Order was also lost.

Now that we have recovered this Asura Order, we have fulfilled the Asura Gate Master’s entrustment,” Zuo Qing said, his eyes revealing a complex emotion as if he had let go of something in his heart.

While Zuo Mu held the Asura Order in his hand, a strange glint flickered deep within his eyes, as he said to Zuo Qing, “Big brother, there has always been a legend that the Asura Cave contains treasures left by the Asura Ancestor.

Why wasn’t it opened back then?”

“I don’t know.

But it was a rule left by the ancestors of Asura Gate that the Asura Cave must never be opened at whim, hence each generation of Asura Gate Masters only safeguarded the Asura Order and never dared to open the Asura Cave.

Whether there are really treasures inside, no one knows,” Zuo Qing shook his head.

“Alright, give the order back to me.”

Shortly afterwards, Zuo Mu handed the order back to Zuo Qing, who said in a grave voice, “Now, what we need to do is quickly find the remaining forces of Asura Gate, and also find the Young Master, to rebuild the Asura Gate.”
