Chapter 215: Chapter 209: Hong Ying Takes Wei Yiling Hostage Chapter 215: Chapter 209: Hong Ying Takes Wei Yiling Hostage “Yes, you’re skeptical of me, but I believe everyone here agrees with me. They all know what I’m doing is right. That’s enough. Whether you agree or disagree, I don’t care. You silly girl.” Ye Chen said with contempt.

Ling’er snorted, her eyes bulging in anger, her face scrunching up, clearly upset.

“I went to great lengths to come up with this plan. I won’t tolerate any mistakes. You can be upset all you want, but I’m the boss here. You’re not married to me, so if you think you can wield power as a wife, you may find it’s not so simple.”

“Some plan! You’re no different from Yang Jing, both of you are despicable villains who would do anything to win.”

“You’re wrong. I am different from Yang Jing. I may have captured people, but I wouldn’t use a woman to threaten them, I only intend to scare them.”

“Easy for you to say. When your life is on the line, I bet you’d sing a different tune.” Ling’er didn’t buy his sweet talk.

“Well, in a life-or-death situation, I might have to utilize her, but I won’t harm her.”

“If you truly had no intention of hurting anyone, you wouldn’t have kidnapped anyone in the first place.”

“Girl, why do you always seem to take the enemy’s side? It’s not a good thing, you know. Could it be you’re attracted to this girl? Are you into women?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Well, I have to admit that this girl is prettier than you. I’m quite satisfied. But she’s someone else’s woman, and I don’t want her.”

Ling’er snorted once more.

“Maybe it’s because of her clothes. If you dressed up like her, you’d look quite good too.”

With a swift kick, she nearly sent Ye Chen flying.

Ye Chen chuckled, picturing her dressed up like that.

Ling’er walked away.

Ye Chen shouted, “Don’t get too close to her. This girl is no ordinary person. Even ten of you would be no match for her.”

Wei Yiling ignored him and continued to move forward.

Can Mo approached, saying, “Yang Jing has joined forces with Da Gui.”

Ye Chen lifted his head and replied, “Good, let them come together. It’ll be easier to lure them all in one go. Just make sure they don’t set up any ambushes. We need them all, not just a handful.”

After pondering a while, Can Mo said, “It seems they will come after us.”

“We’ll put on a good show for them, as long as they don’t pin us down.”

“Yes, I understand, we need to lure them to Futu Valley.”

“Whether we succeed or not, it all comes down to tomorrow.”

“I think we’re sure to succeed.” He trusted the position that Wei Yiling held in Yang Jing’s heart.

“Don’t celebrate too early. Make sure to keep an eye on the girl in the carriage. She knows our plans. If she escapes and reveals our intentions to Yang Jing, all of our efforts would be for naught.” Ye Chen had already spread the news of Hong Ying’s capture in Ghost City, believing that Yang Jing would know soon.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have a dozen of my disciples keeping an eye on her.”

“Yes, be vigilant. After all this trouble, it will soon be time to wrap it all up.”

“Yes, with Hong Ying as our bait, I believe they will come, they will definitely come.”

“We can’t be so sure, but we definitely need to avoid any accidents.”

“Understood.” Can Mo replied.

“Stay in touch with Kong Sha, keep an eye on those following us. I believe if they learn we’ve captured Hong Ying, they may recklessly chase us. We still need to be careful and keep moving feverishly.” Ye Chen believed it would be wise to stay cautious.

“Yes, it could easily provoke Yang Jing.”

Ye Chen examined the map to ascertain their route and any potential dangers. They couldn’t afford to be surrounded again, that would indeed spell trouble.

They quickly set off in the direction of Futu Valley.

Yang Jing’s team had already joined with Da Gui’s team. Yang Jing was thrilled. Da Gui had planned to join them in their assault but at this point, Yang Jing’s team had completely shaken off Ye Chen’s team.

Da Gui asked, “Where are they now?”

“They’ve escaped using a bunch of horses. We’ve been played.” The aggrieved Er Gui explained.

“Do we have any idea where they might be?”

Ci Ye replied, “We’ve located them, we know where they are.”

Tong Hegan interjected, “Looking at their trajectory, it seems they’re heading towards Futu Valley.”

Yang Jing shared this assumption. They all knew that Futu Valley was on the border between Ghost City and Tianle City, and they might encounter people from the New City Sect.

Tong Hegan warned, “We can’t go to Futu Valley.” He was still somewhat afraid of running into the New City Sect’s people there, he didn’t want to stir that hornet’s nest.

Brother Tong, are you concerned about reinforcement from the New City Sect?” Ci Ye asked.

“Let’s play safe, we mustn’t fall into their trap.”

“I don’t think so. Now is our best chance, while they’re busy escaping.” Er Gui countered.

Ci Ye agreed, “That’s right.”

“Still, we need to proceed with caution.” Tong Hegan insisted.

Ci Ye suggested, “We can send someone to Futu Valley to have a look.”

At this moment, a disciple rushed over, shouting, “Not good, Hong Ying has been captured.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jing practically leaped up shouting, “What!?” His furious demeanor startled the messenger, who recoiled.

“Hong Ying has been captured by the New City Sect.”

“When did this happen? How could this be?” Yang Jing was in disbelief.

“It was two nights ago when the New City Sect kidnapped her. Around fifty of them came, controlling the city gates, stormed into the Piaoxiang Tavern disguised as guests, called for Hong Ying, and swiftly restrained her. They exited through a window and headed to the city gate where a horse car and people were waiting to aid in their escape.”

Da Gui couldn’t believe it, saying: “The New City Sect shouldn’t have done this.”

Yang Jing asked: “Where are they now?”

“They are moving in this direction, and have already joined up with the group we’ve been pursing,” the disciple replied.

“Did they split up when they left the woods that day?” Da Gui asked.

“They should have, they usually split up their operations.”

“Damn it, I am ready to retaliate against Wei Sisan. He must be planning to use Hong Ying to blackmail me, that damn hypocrite!” Yang Jing was ready to kill.

Er Gui said: “The folks at New City Sect are ruthless.”

San Gui suggested: “Maybe they kidnapped someone because they were afraid we’d catch them, to use as leverage as a precaution.”

Si Gui observed: “That’s likely the case.”

Er Gui asked: “So, what do we do now?”

“Never mind that, I must save Hong Ying.” Yang Jing declared.

Tong Hegan cautioned: “We mustn’t act impulsively.” He was worried there may be hidden complications – Futu Valley wasn’t something they could easily control.

“What impulsive? They’ve taken my people, I am obligated to retaliate.”

Da Gui pitched in again: “The New City Sect… I can’t believe they would do something like that.”

Then someone said, “On that night, a young man came and captured Hong Ying.”

“That must be that damned bastard, trying to pick a fight. Afraid he can’t evade me, that’s why he did this.” Yang Jing was so furious he was about to fly into a rage.

Ci Ye spoke up: “For the New City Sect to do such a thing, we must punish them all. They’ve shown no scruples, and their so-called righteousness has been revealed to be a sham.”

Yang Jing shouted, “No, I must save Hong Ying.”

Da Gui said: “We mustn’t let them cross Futu Valley. Once they’re across Futu Valley, we’ve lost all chance.”

Upon a glance at Tong Hegan, who was still hesitating, Ci Ye assured: “Elder brother Tong, look. They’ve shown no scruples; they certainly won’t show any when dealing with you in the future.”

Yang Jing declared: “Elder brother Tong, regardless of your decision to assist me or not, I am obliged to save Hong Ying and make these scoundrels pay.”

“I am not reluctant to help. I am more than willing to. Just, taking precautions isn’t a bad move.”

Ci Ye proposed: “How about this. We try to intercept them at Futu Valley; if we fail, we retreat.” He noticed Tong Hegan’s caution and concern.

Tong Hegan looked at him.

Da Gui said: “Sounds reasonable. We intercept at Futu Valley. If we still can’t catch up with them, then we give up.”

Ci Ye reasoned: “Come on, help us out. If the roles were reversed, we would help you too.”

Er Gui said: “New City Sect has gone too far. They’ve devised such a despicable plan to deal with Brother Yang.”

Ci Ye said: “The terrain of Futu Valley isn’t favorable, but it presents our best chance to capture them. They’ve managed to throw us off their trail for now, but we could block them at the valley.”

Yang Jing pleaded: “Brother Tong, please help us.”

“Alright then. But only until Futu Valley. If we don’t make it there, I’ll have to give up.” Tong Hegan, looking at a distraught Yang Jing, agreed.

“Thank you. I will find a way to repay your kindness.” Yang Jing said.

Ci Ye declared: “Great! Let’s release the Winged Dragon and distract the New City Sect’s men. As long as we hurry, we can definitely catch up.”

The sky was gradually darkening, and Ye Chen asked about the situation behind them.

Can Mo said: “Rest assured, they’re all catching up. Not a single one left behind. Even Tong Hegan has come.”

Li Mo, upon hearing this, eagerly exclaimed: “That’s fantastic! We can make it to Futu Valley by tomorrow noon.”

Still, Ye Chen cautioned: “Don’t be reckless. Caution is key.” There was a glint of excitement in his eyes though—just imagining outsmarting and catching all those people in one go, Wei Sisan would certainly give him a second look, maybe even offer his own daughter’s hand in marriage.

Li Mo said: “Ye Chen, you’re just too cautious.”

“There’s no such thing as too much caution. We’ve had a couple of close calls already, and barely escaped. Being cautious is simply necessary.”

Can Mo nodded in agreement: “We should indeed be careful.”

“Yes, it might seem excessive, even redundant. But it’s definitely better than making a mistake. Not every mistake comes with a lucky escape,” Ye Chen said.

Li Mo, glancing into the distance, suggested: “The road is getting hard to see in the dark. We should let the disciples rest.”

“Sounds good, let’s settle on the hill up ahead.”

They settled down on the hill. The surrounding area was eerily silent; the wind whistled past their ears. Ye Chen asked Li Mo to send Kong Sha a message by carrier pigeon, detailing their current situation.

Suddenly, there was a shriek from the horse car behind them.

Ye Chen, who was talking with Li Mo, was startled, as were the others.

Everyone quickly got up and rushed towards the car. It turned out that Ling’er, being kind-hearted, had tried to alleviate some of Hong Ying’s distress, not knowing that she was skilled in martial arts. While Ling’er was off guard, Hong Ying grabbed her and shouted: “All of you, back off, or I will kill this girl.”

As Ye Chen approached, he gave a slight smile while the blade gleamed against Ling’er’s neck.

Linger was terrified.

Hong Ying, holding Ling’er hostage, moved closer to the horse car.

Li Mo asked Ye Chen: “What should we do?”

Ye Chen replied: “You take a few guys and move around the hill.”
