Chapter 1258 - 1258 1244 The Local Bully Wants to Run Away

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1244: The Local Bully Wants to Run Away Chapter 1258: Chapter 1244: The Local Bully Wants to Run Away The local snakehead was overwhelmed with emotions, and declared, “Enough, quit the nonsense. Get ready to leave. Everything else we’ll discuss after nightfall.”

The short and stout Ma Zi nodded and was about to leave.

The local snakehead added a warning, “Be careful. There’s a chance you’ve all been marked.”

The short and stout Ma Zi left.

Only the local snakehead and Yang Zuotai were left.

The local snakehead had never anticipated that the Immortal City Sect’s people would arrive so quickly and act so fiercely, killing off all the people on Lion Head Island. If it weren’t for a few who escaped, no one would have known it was their doing. He said, “Yang Zuotai, the people from Immortal City Sect are not at all like what I understood them to be.”

“You’re talking about their ruthless killing of the people on Lion Head Island?”

“Yes, how could they do such a thing?”

“Indeed it was very cruel. What we heard before must have all been false, only they didn’t expect that they would leave any survivors, thus exposing themselves,” Yang Zuotai stated.

“Damn it, it’s completely ruined my plans. I thought they would keep up the chaos for a few more days. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I couldn’t even enjoy it for one day,” the local snakehead shook his head.

“Stop thinking about that. It’s correct for us to leave Taiping Island as soon as possible.”

“Of course, I know Ma Zi is right, but do you know where that pack of vicious wolves from Immortal City Sect is? Those are real murderers, intending to kill everyone on Lion Head Island. We’re no match for them. They were the first to know that the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in the hands of those on Lion Head Island.”

The local snakehead continued, “I’ve been studying the Sacred Spirit Stone for a few days, but as you know, studying it for less than a month hardly counts as research. And you know, the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect, apart from his high martial arts skills, also possesses the Dragon Slayer Sword. He defeated the Tianye Demon in just three rounds. Who could possibly stand against them?”

Yang Zuotai was at a loss for words.

“Yang Zuotai, how do you think we should leave Sacred Spirit Island now? Should we create a diversion?” The local snakehead suspected that the boats they planned to leave on might have been watched.

“A diversion?”

“Yes, who can be certain that our escape boats haven’t been targeted? Don’t forget, aside from Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang, these old gingers, there are also those from Immortal City Sect. If any of them have us in their sights, it would be hard to escape. Even if you manage to get away by luck, how far do you think you can get with the people from the thirty-six islands lying in wait?” The local snakehead knew all too well, whether facing Nangong Yao or Immortal City Sect, he had no assurance.

“Then let’s go with Plan B.”

Indeed, the local snakehead had a backup plan, but it required a decoy for the fake attack.

“Then we’ll need someone to lead them there.”

“It seems we only have Third Brother,” the local snakehead said.

“Third Brother might not be willing.”

The local snakehead was aware that aside from Third Brother, the only other one was Yang Zuotai, but he needed Yang Zuotai. Yang Zuotai was cautious; he needed such a strategist. He said, “Don’t worry, Ma Zi will be fine. I know you’re worried about him, afraid he might end up like those from Lion Head Island, but I guarantee that he absolutely won’t meet that same fate. What happened to Lion Head Island was an accident.”

Yang Zuotai still looked at him with disbelief.

“Hey, really. Now that Nangong Yao and his men have arrived, the people from Immortal City Sect are indeed very powerful, but with Nangong Yao joining the fray, they won’t allow Immortal City Sect to pull off another Lion Head Island incident.”

Yang Zuotai nodded slightly and suggested, “Then let’s discuss it with Ma Zi.”

“No need for that. If you discuss with him, Ma Zi will definitely be scared out of his wits. Asking him to be the bait, us sneaking away like thieves, he would never agree to it. He’s been so spooked from hearing about the people on Lion Head Island being wiped out that he hasn’t been able to sleep for days. Discussing this matter with him, whether he agrees or not is the same. But you and I both know, we must have someone lead them off.”

Yang Zuotai remained silent.

The local snakehead persisted, “When the time comes, we’ll just leave a letter for him. Even if Ma Zi does get caught, as long as he admits that the Sacred Spirit Stone is in my possession, I believe Nangong Yao’s people won’t be quick to execute him.”

“But what if he’s caught by the people from Immortal City Sect?”

“Ah, who can account for such precision? In doing things, there’s always some risk involved. But with the Sacred Spirit Sect people already here, Immortal City Sect won’t find it so easy to harm them.”

Yang Zuotai was somewhat rendered speechless, although Ma Zi wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he was a very loyal person.

“Let’s do this, we’ll spread a rumor like we did last time to lead Lion Head Island people, get Nangong Yao and his men to go over there too. That should put your mind at ease, right?”

What more could Yang Zuotai say? He replied, “Alright then, we’ll do as the leader says.”

“Don’t worry, Nangong Yao’s people are quite honorable. You see, this time, they thought I was dead and didn’t make things difficult for you all, even though you participated in the affair to help Qiandu Xiang. They don’t hold grudges and won’t treat his people like Immortal City Sect did to Lion Head Island,” the local snakehead reassured.

Yang Zuotai responded, “Okay then.”

“That’s all we can do now, it’s hard to come out of this unscathed. If the people from Lion Head Island were here, we could have used their entanglement to clear things up and escape like before. But now, Nangong Yao has already sent people to look for our men, asking who saw Lion Head Island folks seize the Sacred Spirit Stone. Obviously, they suspect something, or else such an incident wouldn’t have happened,” the local snakehead reasoned.

“I’ll listen to you.”

“Even if we owe Ma Zi this one, we can always ask for his forgiveness later,” the local snakehead felt a chill down his spine and dared not stick to the original plan anymore.

“Then I’ll go down and make preparations.”

“Alright, remember, we leave tonight. We can’t delay any longer.”

It was already noon, leaving half a day to prepare.

The local thug added, “I believe you should be able to handle it in half a day.” Staying on Taiping Island, he truly couldn’t sleep anymore.

“Hmm, I’ll arrange everything as quickly as possible.”

“Good, you must be careful. It’s very likely you’re also being watched.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Hopefully, they will start fighting among themselves just like the people from the thirty-six islands,” the local thug said, pressing his forehead.

Yang Zuotai left.

The local thug knew he needed to leave quickly, for each extra day here added to their danger.

Ye Chen still found it somewhat hard to believe. He had left Sacred Spirit Island with several hundreds of people and headed for Taiping Island.

Without bringing Guo Yuyun along, only the Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit acted as his assistants. He continuously received updates from Nangong Yao and others, becoming more certain that it was indeed people from the Immortal City Sect who had wiped out Lion Head Island.

How could the Immortal City Sect commit such an act? What on earth was Su Zhanze planning!

From Nangong Yao’s letters, he learned that many people from the thirty-six islands were fearful, worried that the Sacred Spirit Stone might fall into the hands of the Immortal City Sect. They began to respond to Nangong Yao and others, wishing to join forces to confront the Immortal City Sect, and started seeking out members of the sect.

Ye Chen received good news that the Sacred Spirit Stone might still be in the local thug’s possession, and that the local thug wasn’t dead yet; all this information came from Nangong Yao’s letters.

But he also knew that the situation was extremely tense.

If Shao Hengjiang and his people could deduce that Liu An, the local thug, wasn’t dead, why couldn’t the Immortal City Sect, who had not obtained the Sacred Spirit Stone, figure it out? If the Immortal City Sect hadn’t gotten the Sacred Spirit Stone, it surely remained on Taiping Island. If the Immortal City Sect was on Sacred Spirit Island, then with their desire to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, a conflict was likely to erupt again.

Whether Shao Hengjiang and his group were a match for the Immortal City Sect was difficult to judge. Even if joined by Nangong Yao, it was unlikely that they would be able to stand against the Immortal City Sect.

With the Dragon Slayer Sword still in Su Zhanze’s possession, Nangong Yao was no match for them. Therefore, Ye Chen needed to hurry over at once.

The Red Demonic Spirit, seeing Ye Chen’s worry, said, “Still pondering whether the Immortal City Sect was behind the massacre on Lion Head Island?”

“It just feels eerie.”

“I don’t find it eerie.”

“The Su Zhanze I know doesn’t have such grand ambitions.”

“But how long has it been since you last saw Su Zhanze? Half a year, right? In half a year, no one knows what could have happened. People change.”

“Still, that’s too cruel. How could they commit such acts?” Ye Chen shook his head.

“It is quite cruel. But if it was them who did it, whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter.”

The Black Demonic Spirit came over with food, asking, “Aren’t you two hungry at all?” and handed some food over.

“Ye Chen, have you really not thought about marrying both of them? If I were you, I’d marry both to avoid the hassle,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

“What grand theories do you have now to brainwash me with?”

“I see how much you like Yun’er, forcing her to seek marriage with Song Xizhi. It vexes me.”

Ye Chen felt a bit hungry, sitting on the plank and enjoying the sea breeze.

“We’ll arrive by tomorrow. What’s the rush? Didn’t they say that the Sacred Spirit Stone might still be with the local thug?” the Black Demonic Spirit noted his impatience.

Ye Chen didn’t speak, just gnawed on the roasted meat.

The Red Demonic Spirit said, “Don’t even mention it. That local thug is quite resourceful to have come up with such a plan. A person without brains couldn’t have thought of it.”

“So what if he thought of it? In the end, he was still caught by Shao Hengjiang and the others. If I were planning, I’d definitely do better.”

“You’re only great at boasting and chasing women.”

“Nonsense.”

“Still upset you didn’t bring a girl on board,” said the Red Demonic Spirit coldly.

It turned out that, upon boarding the ship, the Black Demonic Spirit had wanted to bring a girl to lighten the mood, but Ye Chen had flatly refused. How could he allow such a thing.
