Chapter 1128 - 1128 1114 Not Giving Up

Chapter 1128: Chapter 1114: Not Giving Up Chapter 1128: Chapter 1114: Not Giving Up The killing was indeed quite brutal, making it somewhat unbearable to watch.

Following behind Ye Chen, Nangong Yan asked, “Where are you going?”

Ye Chen replied, “I want to pay my respects, to see if I can avoid going to hell.”

“No matter whether you pay your respects or not, you’re destined to go to hell.”

“Can’t you just stop following me?” Ye Chen made his way towards the distant riverbank.

Nangong Yan said, “I want to go wash up as well.”

Silver Fox, leading his men, escaped on a boat, and asked his assistant behind him, “Did anyone else manage to escape?”

“It seems that Yin Qi also got out,” the assistant replied.

Silver Fox asked, “He didn’t save the boss?”

The assistant replied, “The boss couldn’t be saved. That scruffy kid got him tied up; he couldn’t break free.”

Only after Silver Fox was certain that no other boats were following did he breathe a sigh of relief, saying, “Are we sure the boss is dead?”

“Yes, someone saw that Shangguan Wudi delivered the fatal blow to the boss.”

Cursing furiously, Silver Fox said, “Damn that Shangguan Wudi, I never expected him to be so ruthless. I should have killed him with a single stroke back then; he actually cooperated with Shao Hengjiang’s people.”

The assistant said, “Indeed, Shangguan Wudi is the worst.”

“How did they circle around us?” At this point, Silver Fox still couldn’t make sense of it.

“They must have used a secret passage.”

“Damn it, they have a secret passage, and we didn’t know about it. Those freeloading bastards should all be thrown into pig cages.”

The assistant suggested, “Boss, we should find Yin Qi. With our current strength, we can’t fight them. We need to team up.”

Silver Fox hesitated for a moment before saying, “He won’t blame me for abandoning them, will he?”

“No, under such circumstances, so desperate, if we hadn’t escaped, we would all have died inside. It’s good that we managed to get out in time, and later Yin Qi also got out. He can’t blame us; it was out of necessity.”

Silver Fox nodded repeatedly, saying, “That’s right, if there had been any chance to save the boss, how could I possibly not have saved him?”

“Exactly, there was such chaos at the time. If we didn’t leave, we might have died in there too. How could we have been lucky enough to escape otherwise?”

After listening, Silver Fox said, “Correct, Old Three won’t blame me.”

“With just our two hundred men, we’re no match for them. If we don’t join forces with Yin Qi, we can’t fight them.”

Seeing sense in this, Silver Fox said, “Alright, you go find them.”

“Rest assured. I’ll locate them immediately.”

Yin Qi had also escaped with two hundred men and found a boat. Someone came looking for Yin Qi.

Yin Qi’s assistant reported, “It’s Silver Fox’s men.”

Upon hearing Silver Fox’s men had come, someone in the group unable to contain himself blurted out, “This guy has the nerve to come back to us? For such a coward, we should avenge our boss.”

The assistant replied, “No, it’s not his fault. Everyone was terrified then. If we hadn’t left, we might not have made it out either.”

“But if it hadn’t been for that guy running away first, would it have become so chaotic later on? He’s not without fault!”

The assistant said, “He is at fault, but what’s done is done. Now we only have these two hundred people. If we don’t seek out Silver Fox to join forces, we might even struggle just to survive. We need to team up with them to stand a chance against Shangguan Wudi.”

“Damn it, how did everything become such a mess.”

The assistant continued, “We suffered heavy casualties, but we still have hope.”

“What hope?”

“They don’t know there’s another secret passage leading to Sacred Spirit Mountain. We could use this secret passage and maybe even manage to snatch the Sacred Spirit Stone. If we get the Sacred Spirit Stone, we might turn defeat into victory. However, our numbers are few now. If we can reunite with Silver Fox and join hands again, perhaps we can seek vengeance.”

Yin Qi, listening on the side, thought the same.

The person sent by Silver Fox said, “Hey, Old Two knows Old Three might blame him. It wasn’t right to just sneak away without a word; it truly wasn’t ethical. But things were chaotic then, and otherwise, it would never have happened. He also swears to avenge the boss. We still need to share a common hatred of the enemy.”

Although Yin Qi was unhappy, he knew that without teaming up with Silver Fox, he really might not make it. With only two hundred men, it would be extremely difficult to seize the Sacred Spirit Stone. He indeed needed to join together; he also wanted the Sacred Spirit Stone, saying, “Alright, I agree.”

The joy of Silver Fox’s envoy was palpable, and he quickly left.

One of Yin Qi’s subordinates said, “Can we fully trust Silver Fox? Who knows when he might abandon us again.”

But Yin Qi responded, “Let’s get our hands on the Sacred Spirit Stone first.” He indeed needed Silver Fox’s help. Although Silver Fox wasn’t the most reliable, his martial arts skills were decent, and Yin Qi still needed him.

Yet, Yin Qi couldn’t help being cautious in his heart.

The assistant said, “For now, we can collaborate with Silver Fox, but we can’t be as trusting as the boss used to be. We must be careful.”

Having killed Pan Jianglong, Shangguan Wudi was extremely delighted. At that moment, Shao Hengjiang entrusted the cleanup of the battlefield to Shangguan Wudi, who was more than happy to handle it.

As night thickened, Pan Jianglong was indeed killed, and the two groups that escaped took a boat and left, their destination unknown.

Ye Chen was eating some food, and before long, Nangong Yan came over.

Nangong Yan said, “Don’t worry, we will head to Sacred Spirit Mountain tomorrow morning. Don’t fret about us not rescuing you; I won’t allow such a thing to happen.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, “Then I really have to thank you for that.”

“No need for that, just having the intention is enough.”

Ye Chen continued eating, finally bringing the meal to a close.

Nangong Yan then said, “Tomorrow, we will head to Sacred Spirit Mountain with a group of people, but not all need to go.”

“Silver Fox and Yin Qi haven’t been wiped out yet,” Ye Chen noted.

“They only managed to escape with around four hundred men, not enough to pose a threat. We will keep an eye on them; their boats dare not approach the shore again. If they do, they will have a one-way trip,” Nangong Yan explained.

“It seems that everything is under your control,” Ye Chen remarked.

“Indeed, it is all within our control now,” she affirmed.

“Don’t celebrate too early,” Ye Chen warned.

“If we can’t celebrate now, then when can we?” Nangong Yan replied.

Qiandu Xiang’s men had mostly arrived at Sacred Spirit Mountain, but inside, they encountered some of Pan Jianglong’s people.

The news of Pan Jianglong’s death quickly spread to Sacred Spirit Mountain, and his subordinates also learned that Shao Hengjiang’s forces were on their way.

Qiandu Xiang wasn’t ready to reveal himself. With only around fifty men under his command, showing himself now could alert Nangong Yao and his people, making things difficult.

Knowing that Pan Jianglong was dead and Shao Hengjiang’s forces were approaching, Pan Jianglong’s subordinates, of course, feared and retreated.

Gu Feng brought back the information he had gathered.

Qiandu Ao grew worried, not expecting Pan Jianglong to have perished. Most troubling of all was the rumor that Shao Hengjiang was leading several hundred men this way. He said, “Brother, with Pan Jianglong dead, I fear we can’t outfight Nangong Yao’s forces.”

Qiandu Xiang exclaimed, “You’re not suggesting that I just give up, are you?” It was out of the question; he would never give up.

“But we indeed only have fifty men; we are no match for them.”

However, Gu Feng argued, “We may have few people, just fifty, but our only advantage is that Nangong Yao’s people think we are dead.”

“Even if we do get the Sacred Spirit Stone, can we really escape?” Qiandu Ao asked.

Qiandu Xiang replied, “What can’t we escape from? We have two days, enough time to plan properly.” He was defiant, convinced that as long as they knew when Nangong Yao’s forces were coming to retrieve the Sacred Spirit Stone, they could handle it. He called out, “Have Baili He bring the boat behind this cliff.”

Behind Sacred Spirit Mountain was a cliff hundreds of feet tall, completely unscalable, which is why entry was usually from the front. But now, Nangong Yao’s forces had blocked the front.

“Even if they reach behind the cliff, they won’t be able to climb up,” Qiandu Ao remarked.

Qiandu Xiang felt a headache coming on and said, “Have them bring the boat over first, don’t worry about the rest.” He was now pondering how best to seize the opportunity and secure the Sacred Spirit Stone.

Hai Jingtian spoke up, “Although we are outnumbered, if we make good use of this time, we can still obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone. Nangong Yao’s people don’t know this area as we do, nor are they aware that we’re waiting for them here. If we play our cards right, we can win by surprise.”

“Win by surprise? How?” Qiandu Ao inquired.

“We still have some gunpowder. It’s usable. They may have more people, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the upper hand,” Hai Jingtian explained.

Hearing this, Qiandu Ao said, “That makes sense. So, we just need to grab the Sacred Spirit Stone and withdraw in time.”

“Exactly,” Hai Jingtian affirmed. “For us, it’s all about the Sacred Spirit Stone. If we make a solid plan, steal the stone, and then escape from here, and if someone is ready to back us up behind the cliff, what’s to say it can’t be done?”

After hearing these words, Qiandu Ao felt a surge of confidence.

After enduring immense hardships to reach this damned Sacred Spirit Mountain and losing so many men, Qiandu Xiang had no intention of giving up now.

And Hai Jingtian added, “The Sect Leader is right. That old man Nangong Yao would never guess we’re still alive. He’ll definitely be careless, and that will be our opportunity.”
