Chapter 225: Chapter 217: A Cornered Dog will Jump Over the Wall Chapter 225: Chapter 217: A Cornered Dog will Jump Over the Wall “Don’t you want to see the Central Plains?” Ye Chen asked Ling’er beside him.

“I have been there before.” Ling’er said.

“It must have been when you were very young, right?”

Ling’er nodded.

“What are your impressions?” Ye Chen asked.

“It’s not much different from the Wastelands.” Ling’er said.

“I think the differences are huge, or you wouldn’t have gone back there for nothing. Maybe you didn’t visit interesting places, otherwise, you would not have had this opinion.” Ye Chen, who had been in the Wastelands for over four years, suddenly felt the urge to revisit the Central Plains.

“If you miss the Central Plains so much, why didn’t you go back sooner instead of staying here for years?” Ling’er asked with confusion.

“Because I have been continuously practicing my martial arts.”

“By the way, I’m quite curious, how did you train your martial arts, don’t you have a master?” Ling’er asked curiously.

“I do have a master.”

“Impossible, where is your master?” All she knew was that he lived in Liuye Manor and didn’t socialize with others.

“Actually, a master is not necessary, the most important is myself. To practice martial arts, I’ve toiled and suffered in ways an ordinary person cannot imagine.” Ye Chen didn’t wish to mention the Red Demonic Spirit.

“I still don’t believe it, when I first saw you, you were not good at martial arts, how did you become so proficient now?”

“I’m a genius, one in a million.”

“Pshaw.”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Just curious.”

“I won’t tell you.” Ye Chen teased deliberately.

Ling’er gave a cold smile and said: “What’s the big deal?”

“Hehe, there’s a big secret here.”

“If you don’t want to tell, then don’t.”

At this time, someone brought food over, interrupting their conversation.

“They’re coming.” A disciple ran back to tell Gua Zhengnie.

Gua Zhengnie tensed up. It was time for the real confrontation, there would be no turning back. He asked: “Who’s leading? How many of them are there?”

“Wei Sisan is leading. They number around eight or nine hundred.”

“They think they can take Wasteland City with eight or nine hundred people, they must be dreaming.” Gui Lang was somewhat excited.

Someone said: “I guess they think we wouldn’t dare to fight against them, assuming we won’t go to war with them.”

Zun Yu responded: “If that’s the case, this is our chance. We can catch them off guard and kill Wei Sisan today.” If there were really only eight or nine hundred of them, they should be easy to deal with.

Gua Zhengnie clenched his fists and asked: “How are our people preparing?”

Kuang Shen reported: “They’re already ambushing on both sides of the mountain, ready to charge at any time.”

“Good, as long as they’re in position. At the right time, focus on Wei Sisan, aim to kill him first.” Gua Zhengnie contemplated. For the New City Sect, Wei Sisan was the pillar. Without him, they’d be a dragon without a head.

Gui Lang said: “Let’s see if Wei Sisan can be so lucky this time around.” The memory of the last time Wei Sisan escaped using the Feng Niang Inn infuriated him.

“There are no unusual circumstances around, right?” Gua Zhengnie tried to be more cautious.

“No.” A disciple answered.

How could Ye Chen’s group approach unnoticed if it was that easy to spot them? This had all been meticulously planned by Wei Sisan.

“Alright, let’s get ready. At my command, everyone rush out and aim for Wei Sisan.” Gua Zhengnie ordered.

The few individuals present all acknowledged the orders.

Gui Lang said: “Let’s see if there’s always someone to save Wei Sisan.”

Wei Sisan looked ahead. In front of them was a valley entrance, an easy place for an ambush. If they crossed this valley without incident, they should be safe. Wei Sisan asked: “Where’s Ye Chen’s group?”

“They’ve stopped to rest.”

“Then let’s rest too.” Said Wei Sisan.

“Shouldn’t we cross the valley before we rest?”

“After we rest, we’ll cross the valley and give Ye Chen a wake-up call.”

Kong Sha nodded in agreement.

It was indeed better to be cautious. Letting the disciples rest would ensure some physical strength in case something happened.

“We don’t need to worry, Ye Chen’s group is very close to ours, they could arrive within an hour.” Kong Sha knew very well Ye Chen’s whereabouts.

“We still can’t let our guard down.” Wei Sisan cautioned.

“I don’t think Gua Zhengnie would be that bold.”

“Hehe, don’t underestimate him, he’s quite bold. It’s best to be cautious, don’t rely on luck.”

“You’re right, Sect Leader. I’ll keep that in mind.”

The wind was howling. Everything was silent, eerily silent.

Ye Chen became anxious, thinking that ahead, in the entrance of the valley, Wei Sisan might run into an ambush.

Can Mo came over and asked: “You think they might be ambushed too, Ye Chen?”

“This route, the entrance to the valley ahead, is the perfect ambush point. If it was up to me, I’d choose this place.”

Can Mo nodded and said: “I’ll make some arrangements, just in case.”

“Good.” After a half-day’s rest, they’ve slowly lost their fatigue, the sun was starting to set in the west. Suddenly, a loud noise shattered the silence in the valley.

Someone quickly reported: “Wei Sisan and his group have been ambushed.”

Ye Chen looked over the two attack routes, targeting their group from different directions.

Ye Chen divided the tasks, assigning Can Mo a group of people while taking charge of another group himself. They prepared to counterattack.

Ling’er mumbled: “They dare to try again, it seems they are desperate.”

“Do you think we’re playing house here!” Ye Chen yelled, “Those who follow me, charge with me.”

They hid in the wild grass by the river. All of a sudden, Winged Dragons filled the sky, a large group swooping down on them.

But Wei Sisan was well-prepared. Before those Winged Dragons came close, their dragon took off into the sky, and after just a short while, the sky turned into a battleground, especially intense right above their heads.

Weisan quickly set up a formation.

Zun Yu, who was rushing towards them, noticed the formation in front of him and became alert. He said, “It seems like they were prepared.”

Gua Zhengnie also noticed it.

“We can’t get surrounded.”

Gua Zhengnie immediately remembered the incident at Futu Valley, and said, “Zun Yu, you guard this valley entrance. We can’t let them surround us.” The obstinate Gua Zhengnie still wanted to charge forward, but he had to leave a retreat for himself just in case.

Zun Yu nodded, leading a group of people, not charging towards them.

“Why isn’t Zun Yu coming over?” Gui Lang asked anxiously.

“We’re likely to walk into an ambush,” said Gua Zhengnie.

Seeing no signs of a possible ambush, he said, “It can’t be. Are we scaring ourselves?”

Wei Sisan’s team was mentally prepared, so when they charged forward there was no panic, instead, they were unusually calm. It was like a stampede of monsters, kicking up a storm of dust. They charged forward, shouting that they were going to kill Wei Sisan, the scene was filled with smoke from the fierce battle.

Gua Zhengnie couldn’t hold back any longer.

Of course, Gua Zhengnie charged forward with his face covered.

Then, Wei Sisan laughed. “Stop hiding, my dear disciple Gua, you can’t hide anymore, can you!”

Gua Zhengnie remained silent, letting his large group of men swarm forward.

Wei Sisan hurriedly responded.

“Your fox tail is out.”

Gui Lang shouted: “Blast that sickly bastard.”

At this point, Ye Chen and his team quickly struck back. However, Can Mo ran into Zun Yu when he charged out. Zun Yu immediately sent someone back to inform Gua Zhengnie.

They hadn’t even fought to their heart’s content when someone found Gua Zhengnie and said, “We might have fallen into a trap. This is a conspiracy.”

Gua Zhengnie glanced at the masses behind him that were quickly advancing.

Gui Lang still refused to believe it.

“We really can’t stay here, it’s unfavorable for us. They’ve been prepared for a long time, we should leave this place as soon as possible,” said Kuang Shen.

Gua Zhengnie was extremely dissatisfied, but this was not the time to express his discontent. The enemy was already attacking them from the rear.

Kuang Shen continued, “Being emotionally charged isn’t suitable. Let’s go back to Wasteland City and decide. Otherwise, if they really surround us, it could be bad.”

Gua Zhengnie nodded, shouting, “We retreat.”

Gui Lang was still reluctant, however, under Gua Zhengnie’s command, he quickly complied.

Without even fighting for two hours, they hastily retreated. The encirclement hadn’t even taken shape.

Ye Chen and his men arrived.

They captured a few people.

In essence, it was a brief clash.

“I never thought they would be so cautious,” said Kong Sha.

Wei Sisan smiled slightly after hearing this.

Kong Sha said, “It’s Gua Zhengnie’s men.” After interrogating the captives, they quickly got some clear answers.

Ye Chen and Can Mo arrived. Can Mo said, “I didn’t expect that they had control of the valley entrance. We couldn’t seize it all at once, and they managed to escape through the valley.”

Wei Sisan smiled lightly and said, “No problem, since they love playing so much, let’s play their game.”

“I suppose they must have closed off the city when they got back,” said Kong Sha.

Everything had been anticipated by Wei Sisan.

Indeed, as soon as Gua Zhengnie returned to Wasteland City, he closed off the city. He issued an order to kill all the disciples of the New City Sect in the Wasteland City. The city was immediately filled with panic, with many people unsure what to do.

Someone found Ming Qi and said, “Gua Zhengnie is back and he seems furious.”

Ming Qi laughed and said, “It seems their surprise attack was unsuccessful.”

“What should we do?” a subordinate asked.

“Yes, they’re issuing a citywide manhunt for us now,” someone worried.

Ming Qi said again: “Don’t worry. I think the disciples of the New City Sect will arrive outside the Wasteland City soon. Now, we just need to stay hidden, do nothing, and protect ourselves.”

“Rest assured, they won’t find us that easily.”

“That’s good, better stay hidden.”

“Gua Zhengnie, your mask of pretence will not last forever.”

“We must not let down our guard, we have to be cautious.”

“Understood.”

Ming Qi received an instruction from Wei Sisan, which was to stay hidden in Wasteland City and wait for their arrival. When the time comes, they will cooperate with people outside the city and strike at the right moment. He understood Wei Sisan’s intention, a well-crafted hiding strategy, at the appropriate time, can play a crucial role.

Night quickly fell, things were changing rapidly. The Wasteland City, which had not been closed for many years, was now its gates closed. Many people didn’t expect this.

The people in the city were very scared, especially when Gua Zhengnie’s men were arresting the disciples of the New City Sect, which made everyone worried and caused all sorts of rumors. Those who could hide in the house hid as much as possible.

It felt like a storm was about to hit the Wasteland City any minute. Soon the news that the New City Sect was about to arrive outside the city spread inside the city.

The citizens’ emotions surged.

Unsure of what was waiting for Wasteland City, it was this uncertainty that made them afraid.

As soon as night fell, there were no people walking on the streets, all was pitch-black.
