Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"If that\'s really true, then I think we will be able to handle them." Yuan Shuchun said, "Array Masters aren\'t usually great in direct combat."

"Yeah," Jun Xie agreed with this point.

As an aspiring Array Master himself, he understood the strengths and weaknesses of this path.

"But still, keep your guard up," Jun Xie said, "Even though the enemy has a Core Formation Realm cultivator, I am sure they must have some other trump card too."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and said, "And considering the fact that they have an advantage in terms of Arrays, we must be careful."

Everyone else nodded their heads and began preparing for the news.

…

Ao Ba Clan.

One of the three main clans of the city, this clan was well known for its sudden rise in prominence and ability to confront the other two main clans directly, the Zheng Clan and the Jia Lei Clan.

However, it wasn\'t quite outgoing and didn\'t prefer confrontations with the other clans. Even though it showed the ability to go head-on against the other big clans when it first arrived, it later settled the dispute privately indoors and kept a low profile ever since.

Today, however, the whole clan was quite active and seemed to be preparing for a big occasion.

But what they did not know was that there were a lot of people currently eyeing them.

Unnoticed by the Ao Ba Clan guards, there had been a sudden rise of vendors in the street outside the clan, and other than that, there were two taverns that were fully booked by two different anonymous groups.

…

In one of the taverns close to the Ao Ba Clan.

"Are you sure they will come here?" An old man\'s voice rang through the hall.

"Yes, Elder, there\'s a ninety percent chance that they will come out."

"Hmm," The old man nodded his head.

If Ye Tian Yun were here, he would easily recognize this duo - the Elder and Clan Head Jia Lei Shan.

"Elder, I have arranged a few guards too. We all are just waiting for your signal."

The Elder replied, "And I am waiting for the Gracious Sword Sect to make a move."

After a slight pause, the elder asked, "Are the Wu Clan people already in the Ao Ba Clan?"

Jia Lei Shan shook his head, "No, Elder, not yet. They will reach here within a few minutes."

"Hmm, when do you think those disciples from the Gracious Sword sect will make a move?"

"I am not sure, Elder. But I think their aim is to catch the enemy off guard - so attacking right when the Wu Kingdom people get out of the Ao Ba Clan will be the option."

"Indeed," The Elder nodded, "There will only be a small opening - as long as Gracious Sword Sect makes use of that chance, things would turn out very favorable for them - until we reap all the benefits."

"Yes, Elder." Jia Lei Shan, "But I haven\'t seen any of them ever since they left the tavern."

The Elder frowned, "You didn\'t send anyone to follow them?"

"Um… I did send a few, but I haven\'t received any updates from them. Most likely, the Core Formation Realm hidden among the group must have caught and killed them."

The Elder let out a sigh, "We will avenge them, don\'t you worry."

"Yes, Elder." Jia Lei Shan replied with a solemn face.

…

In another tavern somewhere close to the main entrance of Ao Ba Clan.

"This is the place where most of the foreign arrays are concentrated…." A young man stared out of the window, overlooking the whole market in front of the Ao Ba Clan.

This young man was none other than Qin Wentian.

Two days ago, he suffered from an assassination attempt and even lost someone very close to his heart.

However, it seemed that the assassin wasn\'t really interested in his death. Thus he was left to live after getting a huge beating and then thrown out of the building.

Before he could attack back, the tavern was blasted into smithereens.

\'The assassin must have died with it…. Those people even found two bodies near Ji Yi\'s corpse.\'

\'But this wasn\'t the work of that assassination alone - it was the organization behind him.\'

\'The Devil Sect.\'

\'Those bastards shall pay a huge price for this enmity.\'

\'They must be here too,\' Qin Wentian was sure about it.

The Devil Sect was very well aware of the array system the core disciples of the Heaven Oracle Sect possess, and they even had spies in the sect, so Qin Wentian was sure that Devil Sect was also here for the Token.

\'They wanted to kill me because the Array System throughout the city was too complicated for them, so the only way left for them was to kill me so that the array is gone for good.

Qin Wentian tightened his grip over the sword sheath and was waiting for the Devil Sect to show themselves.

He was going to attack at the right moment and kill them alone.

\'Only then will Ji Yi\'s soul rest in peace.\'

…

In another tavern, but this one was across the city.

Wang Yao stood near the window and stared at the Ao Ba Clan.

"This clan will be the battlefield? Interesting." He couldn\'t help but smile.

Even though he was all-powerful, currently, he was in the past. As per the laws guided to him by the Emblem Of Time, he could not do anything.

\'I will soon be free from all constraints.\'

He couldn\'t help but smile at this.

The reason why he had come back in time was not that he wanted to - it was because there had been an anomaly in the timeline.

The wrong guy had gone through rebirth.

"But it doesn\'t matter - I found another way for myself. As long as Ye Tian Yun kills Xiao Ming, the whole future will be erased out of existence, and so will the constraints on me."
