Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 241 - 241 17 This is too much

Chapter 241: Chapter 17: This is too much! Chapter 241: Chapter 17: This is too much! The three above were still discussing.

“So…”

“So, you’ve arranged all your men along this line?”

“Indeed.”

“Next… I suspect that woman will repeat her old trick. She will appear to attract attention, leading us to pursue her, thus creating an opportunity for the other two to act.”

“If my guess is correct, the moment that woman appears, we shall adopt a corresponding strategy. We will send a portion of our men to pursue her and engage her, while the majority hold their positions and stay hidden for an ambush!”

“When the other two reveal themselves and make their move, that will be our chance to tighten our net and hunt them down!”

“So, the three of us… are we to act as the unsuspecting prey? Guarding against the unexpected?”

“What prey? We’re just here to enjoy the view from above while savoring some fine wine and cuisine. Ain’t that a delight.”

“Hehe…”

“Of course, our aim in doing so is to catch their attention and have them follow our pre-set path. This is to outwit them and have them continue to follow their pre-set course.”

“Until… they walk right into our trap. Ha ha…”

“Boss, you’re truly clever.”

“What did you think? It’s not easy being the boss. Neither of you two could have come up with such a plan. Ha ha ha…”

“What if they don’t move?”

“No harm done if they don’t. Time is now our best ally. A delay of ten days or so wouldn’t hurt. After all, Ma Daocheng on the other side is on his last breath. If they can’t make it in time and Ma Daocheng dies, it’s only to our advantage!”

“Who should be hurrying now? Them or us?”

Then I sighed, “If Ma Daocheng, a famous general, were to die of delay… that would truly be a loss.”

“But from the point of our Great Yan, isn’t it better if more like Ma Daocheng die? The faster the better?”

“That’s true.”

The three stopped talking.

The three in the tree hole were dumbfounded.

What the hell…

What to do?

Damn, these three are planning to stay right above us, what should we do?

Are they planning to feast right above us?!

The three below looked at each other in dismay.

Encountering such layabouts is indeed a misfortune.

If you go by experience, these three are clearly shirking their duties. But, they’re jabbing right at our sore spot.”

Zhu Weiran’s face was twisted.

From the looks of it, even if they have to stay up there for half a month, they wouldn’t mind. Can we three stay in this tree hole for half a month?

We three and a cat can definitely hold on, but what about the poisoned and injured Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong? They can’t hold on!

Not to mention half a month, three to five days, or even one to two days, might be too much for them!

“This is fucking miserable.”

Zhuang Weiran couldn’t help cursing, “The world is big indeed, full of wonders. Such a weirdo being in charge really pisses me off…”

“What should we do?”

Hu Lengyue said, “How about I rush out directly and kill these three guys above us first!”

“That won’t do.”

Zhuang Weiran frowned, “If you rush out like that, even if you can kill them in surprise, it wouldn’t do much for our overall situation. Don’t forget, our goal is to distract them. Initiating a big fight will only expose us completely.”

Hu Lengyue scratched his claw, “So, what do you suggest we do?”

Zhuang Weiran rolled his eyes, he was also at a loss for ideas.

Giventhw current situation, the only solution left seems to be a hard breakout!

Feng Yin was also frowning and thinking of a solution, but he couldn’t come up with any.

Just then, Feng Ying hooked Feng Yin’s pants leg with his little paw.

Feng Yin looked down and saw the little guy pointing at the tree with his paw, knocking on the tree trunk, and then pointing down.

His ears fluttered.

Feng Yin suddenly realized what he was suggesting and hugged the little guy and gave him a kiss.

Three people didn’t even think as thoroughly as a cat!

On their side, besides the three men and cat, there was also the newly joined helper – the tree, why not use it?

Feng Yin quickly stroked the tree trunk and started communicating with it.

The big tree seemed quite happy that Feng Yin could communicate with it. Upon Feng Yin’s request for help, the tree agreed immediately and was eager to act.

It seemed quite eager to make its presence known.

Feng Yin quickly stopped it, “Hold on.”

The three men on the tree were discussing the details of the evening’s feasting, but were pulled into a new round of bickering.

The focus of the argument was that one of the men was supplying alcohol, and one had centipede meat, so the others naturally wanted the boss to contribute something as well – the Spirit Comprehension tea that they had long coveted.”

On the other hand, the boss, who was more intent on freeloading, was dead set against making any contribution, and employed every trick in the book – from bullying with strong words, to exploiting with promises, to intimidation – to avoid sharing his Spirit Comprehension tea.

“A bit of white centipede meat, a few bottles of thirty-year-old cheap wine, and you think you’re going to get my Spirit Comprehension Tea? Are both of you nuts, or do you think I’m the crazy one?”

The boss was clearly driven to the edge and began to say whatever came to his mind.

“If you want my Spirit Comprehension Tea, you’ll have to bring out your precious Blood Spirit Flower. And you, don’t try to fool people with ordinary vintage wines. Bring out your Thousand Poison Wine! I won’t ask for much, just five pounds each will suffice.”

The boss was raising his demands, a complete reversal.

“That’s impossible!” The other two immediately refused without giving it a thought.

“It’s better to give it to you for free.”

“Then just give it to me for free. I’m satisfied, I don’t aspire for things that are out of line.”

“I wish it didn’t make you so damn happy!”

“Believe it or not, I’ll deduct your merits, and demerit you for disrespecting your superior. You’d like to complain about this? Didn’t think so!”

“Believe it or not, we’re resigning right now!”

“F*** that! I’m your superior, I won’t approve it! What are you two going to do about it?! I’ll keep you two around just to make your lives unpleasant.”

…

Just by listening to the three of them bickering, one could not help but notice their deep bond; this casual chatter and closeness would appear amusing to enemies like Feng Yin and not at all annoying.

The three of them seemed unlikely to be all that bad, despite appearances.

It’s a shame they are on different sides, forced to be adversaries due to their positions.

Just as the three of them were arguing heatedly…

Suddenly…

All three stopped talking and turned to look.

At a cliff edge dozens of yards away, there seemed to be some movement.

Just as they were about to go over for a closer look, suspecting something…

Under the small cliff, a tree root emerged. Seemingly having surplus force from breaking through the soil, it unluckily pushed a rock nearby and sent it rolling down.

In this silent atmosphere, the sudden sound was absolutely breathtaking.

The three of them, all experienced figures, were momentarily uncertain if this was simply a coincidence or if something else was amiss.

But before they could make any judgement, at a hidden place about tens of yards away, another tree root emerged, this time catapulting a dry branch.

Whoosh…flutter…

The branch shot through several bushes, flying hundreds of yards before landing in a denser bush.

The branches and leaves at the other end slightly swayed, resembling the feeling of a master suddenly entering.

“Over there!”

Not daring to delay, all three took to the air, swooping down like hawks with retracted wings.

Rather kill wrongly than to let off, this was indeed the mentality shown by the old-timers!

Not just them, the others nearby also headed in that direction to investigate.

However, the place where the noise came from was quiet again, with no further movement. It seemed as if whoever had entered had disappeared.

These signs made people suspicious, making them even more cautious. They became increasingly certain that the enemy was there, so one by one, they approached cautiously.

The three people moving from the treetops were even more careful. While they flew, they formed a triangle in the air. As they slowly descended, the sword lights that seemed like three dragons poured out, pushing forward like a plough.

“Come out!”

…

They did come out.

Feng Yin and the others, including the cat, returned to the treetops as soon as the three people took off.

Then, Zhuang Weiran still held Feng Yin’s waist, with Feng Ying hiding in Feng Yin’s pocket. They quietly landed on the ground and shot out like lightning with the help of the dense undergrowth.

This was the best time to move!

But the time was very short, just an instant. Any longer, and they would be completely exposed.

However, Zhu Weiran seized the moment with pinpoint precision.

Despite the lightning-fast movement, the whole process did not make a sound, reflecting Zhu Weiran’s exquisite control over his strength that was beyond ordinary human comprehension.

Hu Lengyue followed Zhu Weiran, easily gliding along the ground. She didn’t have to exert herself, just spread out her body and blend with Zhu Weiran’s speed and posture.

Strictly speaking, at this moment, it was as if Zhu Weiran was singlehandedly carrying two people and a cat and fleeing.

Whoosh…

In an instant, they had entered the bush on the other side.

But this also blocked the vision of the three people and the Feiyi Hall members, so they dashed forward even more frantically.

Flutter…

This time, they managed to cover a distance of five thousand yards in one go, entering the territory of Tiandang Mountain and advancing halfway up the mountain.

Upon reaching here, they no longer rushed forward. It wasn’t because they were incapable, but if they moved any further, they would be exposed to a vast open space. The entire area of Tiandang Mountain had been thoroughly excavated by the manpower of Feiyi Hall!

“F***!”

Seeing this, Zhu Weiran couldn’t help but curse, “F*** Feiyi Hall, so excessive!”
