Chapter 312: The Mantis

"If we aren't prepared, we aren't prepared, it doesn't matter!" Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "As long as Father is here, everyone else is irrelevant."

Father was the only Martial Ancestor of the Qin Family and also the Family Head; his arrival in Chenyang City represented the Qin Family. As for the other small fry, Qin Ming could naturally disguise himself.

"Let's go, it's time for us to act!" Qin Ming glanced at the battle raging like a wildfire and smiled.

Qin Ming and his group headed toward the direction of the battle, and just then, a Disciple suddenly ran over.

"Sect Master, there is a group of people acting suspiciously near the battle. There are about thirty of them; one of them is a Martial Ancestor, and the others are in the Grand Martial Master Realm."

Qin Ming paused, a look of curiosity appearing on his Face: "Oh? Someone is skulking around nearby?"

"Minger, I reckon they are thinking the same thing as us—they also want to take advantage of the chaos to seize Chenyang City!" Qin Yuan speculated.

Qin Ming frowned: "But they are not a Power from Chenyang City. The families of Chenyang City won't allow them to obtain Chenyang City so easily!"

Chenyang City has many families and many Martial Artists. If they all resist, even a Martial Ancestor Expert would not get any advantage.

Qin Yuan guessed: "Could they be wanting to seize the wealth of the Qu Family and the Chen Family?"

Qin Ming nodded: "That is very likely! The Qu Family and the Chen Family have been operating in Chenyang City for so long; they must have some wealth."

"Sect Master, shall we kill them silently?" a Disciple on the side asked.

These Disciples had already treated Chenyang City as their own base, and now that someone was trying to snatch their Sect's base, they were naturally unwilling.

Although the Disciples of the Feather Transformation Sect looked down on Chenyang City, it was, at the very least, a base they had chosen. Now that someone wanted to snatch it, wasn't that a failure to give them Face?

Hearing the question from the Feather Transformation Sect Disciple, Qin Yuan showed no expression on his Face, but inwardly, he was surging with waves.

A Martial Ancestor and over thirty Martial Grandmasters—he actually said he would kill them just like that! Moreover, looking at their expressions, killing those people would not require any effort at all!

Qin Ming thought for a moment and asked: "Have they discovered us?"

"With their level of skill, how could they possibly discover us?" the Feather Transformation Sect Disciple said proudly.

Qin Ming instructed: "Since that's the case, don't take action yet. Aren't they wanting to play the mantis? Let them go! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind—us playing the oriole might have a better effect."

"Yes," the Feather Transformation Sect Disciple replied respectfully.

Qin Ming, Qin Yuan, and the others changed their position to a rooftop.

This location was closer to the battle, allowing them to clearly see every move on the battlefield.

Qin Ming looked at the group of people not far ahead, a trace of coldness flashing through his heart.

This group had over thirty people and was arrogantly observing the outside from a room, without even setting up the most basic defensive vigilance. They clearly assumed that Chenyang City had no Power that could threaten them.

"Big Brother, how long do we have to wait before we charge out?" a burly man asked a Martial Artist wearing black long-sleeved robes. Watching the intense fighting outside, his bellicose nature made his blood boil; if it weren't for his Big Brother holding him back, he would have rushed out long ago.

The Martial Artist in black long-sleeved robes waved his hand: "Heikui, you need to have some patience. If we charge out now, the two families might very well set aside their grudges and deal with us together. Since they are already fighting, they won't stop easily. We need to be a little patient."
