CHAPTER 1258: CHAPTER 1254: THE TRAP

"Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah ~~~~~~~~~~"

The little one’s cry was unnaturally crisp, startling Ye Tian and Tian Qi who were focused on healing.

As a result, neither of them could concentrate on healing anymore...

"How could this happen? The baby was clearly sound asleep before, why now?"

Yun Xinyan’s face was filled with guilt, though it was her own child, at this most critical moment, the baby’s cries disrupted both Ye Tian and Tian Qi, and such a thing might affect the entire battlefield!

"Madam, don’t worry, perhaps the little one is just hungry?"

Tian Qi came to Yun Xinyan’s side, constantly comforting her, and retrieved a box of milk from the room’s refrigerator.

This milk was prepared by the hotel for guests, available for free.

Yun Xinyan had just given birth and was likely without milk, but she couldn’t let the baby go hungry, so they could only use milk as a substitute.

"Let’s try it then!"

Yun Xinyan nodded, then brought the milk to the baby’s mouth, but surprisingly, the baby didn’t drink and cried even louder!

"Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The sound was piercing; the hotel was originally empty, and the baby’s cries echoed throughout the entire place.

"..."

Ye Tian also silently came to the baby’s side.

His daughter possessed the bloodline of the Divine Race, bringing a power from the womb, so it was unlikely she would cry from hunger.

But what did his daughter’s cries signify?

Ye Tian knew clearly that during his fight with the Nan Feng Elder, life and death hung in the balance, and at that moment, it was his daughter who had transferred her power to him, allowing him to defeat a formidable opponent like the Nan Feng Elder!

A tiny infant brought immense strength from the womb, yet was physically weak, so after transferring such great power, the baby naturally fell into a deep sleep.

This slumber was akin to a Martial Artist depleting energy and meditating to recover, and would not end quickly.

Yet, the baby was crying now; Ye Tian sensed the situation was unusual, his face turned serious, constantly pondering...

Quickly, Ye Tian realized something!

"Oh no! This place is no longer safe! We must leave now!"

Ye Tian declared decisively, surprising Yun Xinyan and Tian Qi.

"Ye Tian, what do you mean by this place is unsafe? Could there be danger here?"

"Indeed, Ye Tian! This hotel has a good environment, and the floors are low, suitable for hiding and recuperation. If we leave, where can we go to heal?"

Yun Xinyan and Tian Qi’s doubts were reasonable, but Ye Tian’s words had their reasons!

"The baby is different from us. She can sense things we can’t, such as danger and murderous intent... Her crying is because she sensed something!"

Ye Tian’s words left Yun Xinyan and Tian Qi astonished...

Yun Xinyan carefully looked at the baby in her arms, indeed, the reason she went to the entrance of the Underground City in the South was precisely because of the baby’s guidance.

The baby she just bore was entirely different from other children!

So when Ye Tian said the baby could foresee danger and murderous intent, she naturally believed it...

And Tian Qi, of course, would not doubt Ye Tian’s words!

"Ye Tian, you said the baby sensed danger and thus cried, but where does this danger come from? Could the elders of the Black Hole Clan be attacking?"

Tian Qi asked anxiously, Ye Tian nodded, speaking calmly: "Now, in the whole South City, the Black Hole Clan’s Martial Artists have vanished and are no longer our enemies! But, among the four elders of the Black Hole Clan, besides the Bei Feng Elder and Nan Feng Elder who are already dead, there are still the Xi Feng Elder and the Dong Feng Elder.

Now, the Dong Feng Elder is not in the South City, so the approaching danger comes only from the Xi Feng Elder alone! I was wounded by him earlier; thanks to the help of the Thirteen Guards, I managed to escape. Looking at the current situation, the Thirteen Guards might not have held him back and may have been killed."

"But how could he find us here?" Tian Qi looked around the room in amazement, "There are no surveillance cameras here, and we have shut the windows. How could he locate us?"

Ye Tian smiled, continuing: "Qiqi, don’t be naive. Since the South City is the territory of the Black Hole Clan, the elders naturally have all sorts of ways to find their targets! For instance, their cameras might be able to penetrate walls, or they could have cameras finer than needles!"

Though Ye Tian did not elaborate, with the technological prowess of the Black Hole Clan, achieving such feats would be quite simple, so there was no need to dwell on how they did it...

"Alright! I get it! Ye Tian, what should we do now?"

Tian Qi nodded firmly, since the Xi Feng Elder was closing in, they naturally needed to prepare a response.

"This... naturally needs some deliberation!"

Ye Tian fell into contemplation, and then he came up with an idea.

"Qiqi, that guy is formidable, and he hasn’t suffered a single injury since the war began. With our currently half-crippled bodies, I’m afraid we’re no match for him. So, it’s better to maneuver with him, and if possible, set some traps or something."

"Alright!"

Ye Tian’s idea was very good, and Tian Qi immediately nodded.

"Honey, I’m really sorry, but this time, I’m afraid we have to wander again!"

Ye Tian said with guilt, Yun Xinyan smiled slightly and said, "It’s okay, Ye Tian, as long as I’m with you, no matter where we are, I always feel a sense of warmth!"

Saying that, everyone left the room and went straight to the rooftop of the hotel.

This hotel only had two floors, so even the rooftop wasn’t very high. Ye Tian, Tian Qi, and Yun Xinyan all lay down, watching every movement below from the rooftop.

It’s worth mentioning that the baby who cried and made a fuss in Yun Xinyan’s arms earlier was now surprisingly calm, possibly because everyone had responded to her cries. Not a single sound was made.

Yun Xinyan took the milk Tian Qi handed over and brought it to the baby’s mouth. This time, the baby didn’t refuse but drank in big gulps. Yun Xinyan felt a sense of comfort watching her child feed.

"Ye Tian, look, Elder Xi Feng has indeed arrived!"

While the baby was eating contentedly, Tian Qi suddenly pointed to a man below.

Judging by his appearance, he was young, dressed in a white suit. Who else could it be but Elder Xi Feng?

"Hehehe~~~~ It seems my daughter’s prediction was quite accurate!" Ye Tian chuckled, "Looks like it’s time to set the trap!"

Saying that, Ye Tian took out the silver needles he carried with him and stuck them into the floor below!

The silver needles disappeared beneath the ground, vanishing from sight in an instant...

Tian Qi was puzzled and quickly asked, "Ye Tian, why did you stick the silver needles underground?"

Ye Tian smiled slightly but didn’t explain...

"Qiqi, you’ll find out later!"

"..."

Yun Xinyan remained silent. Although she also wanted to know why Ye Tian did that, at the moment, she was focused on feeding the baby and didn’t have the leisure to ponder such questions.

"Shh!"

Ye Tian placed his finger on his lips to indicate Yun Xinyan and Tian Qi to stop talking. The two women obediently closed their mouths and remained silent.

At this moment, Elder Xi Feng was cautiously making his way into the hotel!

In that room in the Underground City of the southern part of town, it was possible to monitor every movement of the people in Southern City. However, this didn’t mean there were cameras everywhere in Southern City.

After all, the expansion of Southern City aimed to lure more ordinary people to the city, becoming prey for the Black Hole Clan. If dense monitoring were discovered, people wouldn’t stay in the city for long.

So, the number of surveillance cameras in Southern City wasn’t actually many, but the position of each camera was quite strategic!

Even a master like Ye Tian was unable to hide in this city!

Based on the images of Ye Tian provided by the surveillance footage, coupled with some reasoning, Elder Xi Feng could conclude that Ye Tian, his wife Yun Xinyan, and the traitor Tian Qi were in this hotel.

Therefore, Elder Xi Feng didn’t linger in the Underground City but proceeded directly to the hotel in the new district of Southern City where Ye Tian was located.

Elder Xi Feng slowly approached the hotel. He carefully observed his surroundings, finding the entire hotel to be exceptionally quiet, without a single person in sight.

"Hmm? Where is everyone?"

Elder Xi Feng was somewhat surprised.

Logically, both Ye Tian and Tian Qi had some injuries, and these injuries made it impossible for them to hide their presence.

Since he had already entered the hotel, he should have been able to sense some presence, but now, Elder Xi Feng felt nothing.

"Could it be that they escaped?"

Elder Xi Feng muttered to himself, having taken less than a minute to get here from the Underground City, and then immediately entered.

If the other party wasn’t able to foresee such a move, how could they have known he arrived?

Just as Elder Xi Feng was feeling slightly disappointed, some situations suddenly arose in the hotel. The entire hotel began to shake violently, as if an earthquake was occurring!
