Chapter 1263 - 1263 1249 Faking Death Well

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1249: Faking Death Well Chapter 1263: Chapter 1249: Faking Death Well The long day had finally turned to night.

The surroundings were very quiet. Longhun, Old Du, and a group of subordinates were hiding in a corner. The short Ma Zi had left more than two hours ago, and Yang Zuotai still hadn’t appeared, further solidifying Longhun’s belief that Yang Zuotai would definitely take action and then show up.

Longhun muttered to himself, “I really want to see just who is so clever as to dare to play me.”

Several figures appeared up ahead, and the subordinates behind replied, “It should be Nangong Yao’s men.”

Longhun nodded. Several loud explosions came from the west, there must have been a fight breaking out there.

The people below quickly grew tense; the explosive sounds from that direction were getting more frequent, surely indicating a heated battle, Longhun thought.

Suddenly, a crowd surged out, heading this way. To reach the southern seaport, they had to pass through here.

Longhun asked, “Is it Yang Zuotai?” He wanted to confirm.

But one of the guys behind him froze for a moment before saying, “Local snake.”

Longhun asked, “What local snake?”

“No, the one walking at the front of that group, wearing a hat, all secretive, looking like a sorcerer, that’s Liu An, the local snake.”

“Are you sure?” Longhun asked his assistant behind him.

“I’m sure, I recognize this guy.”

“Incredible, truly incredible,” Longhun was astounded.

Old Du said, “Then who was the one that died at the crossroads?”

Longhun was silent for a moment, thought it over, and then said, “I get it now, that one was his decoy, the one who died was someone else, not Liu An. I thought Yang Zuotai was so clever, killing his own leader and stealing the Sacred Spirit Stone. Who could be behind him? So that’s how it is, clever move.”

Old Du said, “A decoy.”

“Of course a decoy. Everything was planned by Liu An. He must have found someone similar to himself, then staged the incident at the crossroads. He let Yang Zuotai and his men dress as masked men in black, created chaos, used the opportunity to kill the decoy, and then framed the people from Lion Head Island. No wonder no one from the Thirty-six Islands saw Lion Head Island’s people take the Sacred Spirit Stone but claimed Lion Head Island’s people killed Liu An and stole the Sacred Spirit Stone. It was Liu An’s own men. What a brilliant scheme, he even deceived me.”

Old Du murmured, “So that’s how it is; Liu An is no ordinary man.”

“I’m starting to like this guy. I said there was no way they were brainless. As expected, I almost fell into the trap myself,” Longhun admitted with admiration.

“Then the Sacred Spirit Stone must be on him,” Old Du stated.

“Such a clever guy, he really played me.”

Another assistant behind said, “It’s a shame our men aren’t here, or else we would have made a move right here.”

“Idiot, if you act here and alert everyone, won’t you attract all the others over, and then how will you escape from Taiping Island?”

The assistant behind him didn’t say anything more.

“What a guy, no wonder I searched everywhere and couldn’t find Yang Zuotai’s henchmen, I underestimated them,” Longhun said.

Old Du said, “Get up, we’re heading to the southern seaport now.”

The west side must be ablaze with conflict, it was palpable from here.

Liu An was very cautious; he was the last one to leave, with his men dispersed at different positions, dressed as merchants or fishermen heading out to sea, converging in the south. He thought Ma Zi had attracted everyone’s attention there, but he didn’t realize he’d already been marked by someone else.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, the local snake didn’t bring many people with him, and that Yang Zuotai was right by his side, apparently worrying about Ma Zi from the west. The local snake couldn’t control what happened to Ma Zi. Right now, nothing was more important than his leaving this place as soon as possible.

That was just the way Yang Zuotai was, a very decent person, just sometimes too emotional. Of course he liked that about him, but in the matter of Ma Zi, it was clearly a bit too much, coming across like a woman wavering in indecision.

He didn’t want to talk more about it. He had said all that needed to be said, and if he was still acting this way, what more could be said?

“There shouldn’t be a problem, right?” The local snake had been hiding for several days, and all the outside affairs were handled by Yang Zuotai. Without him, things really couldn’t go on.

Yang Zuotai turned around, nodded, and said, “Yeah, everything’s arranged, we won’t be discovered.”

“Don’t worry about Ma Zi. Once he reads the letter, he can just surrender. Nangong Yao and the others won’t trouble him. But we need to hurry and go because they’ve informed Nangong Yao, which means our plan has been exposed. If we don’t hurry, I estimate we really won’t be able to get away,” the local snake said with caution.

Yang Zuotai nodded slightly.

“Stop worrying, take care of yourself first. I can’t tell if they’ve discovered something.” The local snake was still somewhat uneasy, the eerie silence around him making him nervous. Who could guarantee absolute safety? He had taken most of the men to the south, while Ma Zi was left with just a few, and the ones good at fighting were all with him.

Tonight was destined to be a restless one. The people from the Immortal City Sect were definitely still in town. Although it was rumored on the outside that there was no news of the Immortal City Sect, and some suspected they had fled, the local snake believed the likelihood of this was very small. Who wouldn’t want the Sacred Spirit Stone? The Immortal City Sect even wiped out the folks on Lion Head Island, so how could they leave empty-handed? Therefore, he was convinced that the Immortal City Sect’s people were still on Taiping Island.

“Brother, I didn’t expect something like this to happen either. Who would have thought the Immortal City Sect would get involved so quickly? Our lives are hanging by a thread. Losing the Sacred Spirit Stone is one thing, but it’s quite likely we’ll lose our lives as well,” the local snake Liu An said, but how could he possibly just give up on the Sacred Spirit Stone in his possession?

After studying the Sacred Spirit Stone for several days, he realized it truly was a treasure with infinite potential. It could even use that energy for martial arts practice, something unimaginable. If he could study the Sacred Spirit Stone for a month or two, even if he didn’t reach the pinnacle of martial arts, his skills would greatly improve.

Moreover, he had heard that besides having tremendous energy, the Sacred Spirit Stone could control various monsters. Of course, this was said by Qiandu Xiang, and Qiandu Xiang wouldn’t speak recklessly. In any case, he knew that his future heights depended on this Sacred Spirit Stone in his hand.

“You know, with our meager power, no one takes us seriously. This is our chance to turn things around. As long as we can get through this, I think you wouldn’t want to remain a second-rate hoodlum on Freedom Island. We’ve worked so hard for so many years, yet haven’t managed to become the Island Master of Freedom Island. It’s not because we’re not diligent enough.”

The local snake continued, “Some things are just meant to be, like us. No matter how hard we try, we can never reach the heights of the Sacred Spirit Sect, Immortal Medicine Island, and Iron Ten Thousand Island. But the Sacred Spirit Stone is different. Just give me enough time, and I will definitely figure it out. With the call of the Sacred Spirit Stone, why worry about others not joining us? This is fate, such a good opportunity in our hands, how can we give it up.”

“I’ll follow the leader’s orders,” said Yang Zuotai

“Just wait. Once we escape Taiping Island, they won’t be able to do anything to us. Also, I have good news for you. The Sacred Spirit Stone can assist me in my martial arts practice. I feel that my martial arts have improved a lot recently. Of course, time is still too short; otherwise, I would’ve progressed even more. Later on, you and I can study the Sacred Spirit Stone together. We will make progress together, and then the thirty-six islands will be ours.”

Yang Zuotai didn’t speak.

The local snake worried that Yang Zuotai might waver because Yang Zuotai was afraid too. Getting the Sacred Spirit Stone was unexpected, and they never thought it would really end up in their hands. But sometimes, good things can often turn into bad things as well.

Longhun could move around here, but he hadn’t because after disguising themselves as the Immortal City Sect, with Nangong Yao and others arriving, they became cautious. Even if they truly succeeded here, they had to figure out a way to escape. That’s why they confirmed the location of action by the shore, grab the Sacred Spirit Stone, have Elder Xi Feng come over, and then run away, surely making a clean getaway.

Longhun said, “Old Du, wait a second, keep an eye on the local snake. The Sacred Spirit Stone must be on that guy.”

“Understood, I will keep an eye on him. He can’t escape under my watch,” Old Du knew Longhun was planning to deal with Shao Hengjiang.

Longhun continued, “Of course, we don’t need to rush into action. Let them fight it out first. We’re to act like the mantis stalking the cicada, snatching the Sacred Spirit Stone and leaving. Of course, if we could kill a couple of them, letting them seek revenge from the Immortal City Sect, that would also be good.” He enjoyed doing such things the most. Hearing that people from Immortal City had entered the thirty-six islands’ domain, he saw it as giving him an assist, letting them be caught speechless later on.

Arriving at the southern exit to the sea, two people came running over, Longhun’s subordinates Ren Haotian and Mo Ku.

Mo Ku was dumbfounded and asked, “Isn’t that the local snake?”

“Yes, that’s the local snake. I was as stunned as you when I saw him. That guy smuggled himself out by using a decoy, pretending to be dead, planning the ambush at the crossroads and framing those fools from Lion Head Island,” said Longhun.

“Good grief, he actually managed to trick us all.”

“Indeed, I should give the guy an award for this,” said Longhun, smiling.

Ren Haotian said, “If he’s alive, then the Sacred Spirit Stone is definitely on him.”

“Of course, such an important thing, he would certainly keep it on his person.”
