Chapter 506 - 506 492 Gua Zhengnie Wants Revenge

Chapter 506: Chapter 492: Gua Zhengnie Wants Revenge Chapter 506: Chapter 492: Gua Zhengnie Wants Revenge Gua Zhengnie looked at the palace he had built, now reduced to ruins. All his possessions were inside. He had been planning to reign as emperor for a few more years, that thought stabbed his heart like a knife. He was so anguished he couldn’t find his voice.

Behind him, Zun Yu reported: “The New City Sect ambushed us halfway and blew up the mountain lake. We lost hundreds of men to flooding, but thanks to my and Xiao Bai’s efforts, we managed to preserve our strength and minimize the damage.”

Then, Kuang Shen added, “Even if we lost four to five hundred men, we still have the upper hand. We can still wage war against them.”

“These bastards, I’m not done with them yet,” grumbled Gua Zhengnie angrily.

“Damn those people from the Fairy Demon Realm who helped them. We weren’t prepared for that.”

“Rest assured. Once I have dealt with the New City Sect, watch how I deal with those bastards from the Withered Wood Sect.”

At that moment, Gui Lang hurried in, looking harried. Seeing him, Gua Zhengnie grumbled angrily, “You bastard! You dare to return? Why didn’t you die?”

“I had no choice! They forced me, look at my arm. I was stabbed so many times. They would have killed me.”

“So, you decided to bring the trouble here?” Gua Zhengnie retorted, kicking him as he spoke.

“No, I didn’t want to bring trouble to Sky Domain City. I signaled to the guard at the city gates, but he didn’t notice. I thought he had prepared for their entrance and was ready to surround them.” Gui Lang defended.

A foot flew towards him, and Gua Zhengnie kicked Gui Lang away, shouting, “Surround them! I see, you wanted me to be surrounded. Look, I am surrounded!”

“Had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let them in,” Gui Lang protested, picking himself up.

“You…you bastard, have the nerve to speak up!” Gua Zhengnie shot another kick towards him.

Kuang Shen rushed forward to intervene. Gui Lang had been with Gua Zhengnie for many years and often interacted with him. In such a situation, it was hard to justify not rushing out to save him.

Kuang Shen said, “Alliance Leader, don’t be angry. The New City Sect folks tricked us. Anyone in our place would have fallen prey to their schemes. Gui Lang had only fifty men with him when they ambushed us. He tried to use the men of the Third Demon to escape, but the guy guarding the city was careless. Had we really surrounded them at the city gates, things might have worked out. The guard was just too stupid.”

Zun Yu also came over to console him, “What’s done is done. The most important thing now is to rally together. We should focus on how to correct our mistakes and how to fight against the New City Sect and those from the Fairy Demon Realm.”

“I’m not done with them yet,” Gua Zhengnie muttered.

“Our strength still surpasses theirs. As long as we plan well, we can definitely conquer them,” Zun Yu assured.

Gui Lang crouched in one corner and said, “They tricked us. One group led us into the city while the others from the Fairy Demon Realm disguised themselves as camel traders. They were impossible to recognize. Had I known that this would happen, I would never have brought them into Sky Domain City. I thought at first, they were merely two hundred men, and we had five hundred. We should have managed easily.”

“You’re still speaking! We were completely unprepared, and they immediately stormed the mansion,” Gua Zhengnie roared in anger.

“I can assure the Alliance Leader that I didn’t inform them about our arrangements in Sky Domain City.”

“Did you even need to? You brought that gang in, and they could have easily interrogated any one of us! Everyone is a coward!”

Gui Lang hung his head, not daring to speak.

At that moment, someone outside announced, “Xiao Bai has returned.”

Gua Zhengnie saw Xiao Bai as highly talented. If it weren’t for the Sky Domain City matter, he probably would have taken over Wasteland City in a day or two. Now that the Third Demon needed him, particularly in this crucial moment of seeking revenge, Gua Zhengnie knew his survival depended on Xiao Bai.

Immediately, he made his way to greet Xiao Bai at the city gate.

Xiao Bai started by blaming himself, lamenting about not returning earlier and how his delay led to his disciples death by falling into others’ schemes.

Gua Zhengnie, however, had no intention of blaming him and said, “No, it’s not your fault. It’s our failure in intelligence gathering.” The sudden demand to recall Xiao Bai back was his own mistake, which had unfortunately played right into the New City Sect’s trap. What else could he say?

Xiao Bai continued, “The Alliance Leader should punish me. I should have returned faster.”

“No, you came back quickly enough. Get up.”

Gui Lang, clutching his chest, looked at Xiao Bai. Gua Zhengnie hadn’t blamed him despite causing the death of many disciples. Gui Lang, however, had received a few kicks to his heart and felt slightly disgruntled. But what could he say now? Xiao Bai was of value. He had to bear it. It was already good enough that he wasn’t killed.

Zun Yu said, “It seems that the New City Sect is firmly aligned with the people from the Fairy Demon Realm. However, we learned that only Guan Yi and Liu Yunzhi came from the Fairy Demon Realm. Combined, they have roughly two hundred men. We still outnumber them and aren’t afraid of them.”

Filled with a thirst for revenge, Gua Zhengnie said, “Right, we lost this battle, but we still have an advantage. We can wage a major war. We will regroup now, march towards Wasteland City and obliterate them. I have to chop that little bastard into pieces.”

He couldn’t rest until he avenged his shattered palace.

“Now? We’ve just suffered a massive defeat, and they must be joining forces. Acting hastily will only put us at a disadvantage, not to mention that our men need to rest,” Xiao Bai said.

“They must be equally exhausted, aren’t the Wasteland City still flooded?” Gua Zhengnie replied.

Xiao Bai said, “There isn’t much water left. Besides, once we retreat, Jiang Zhuge will clean things up.”

“It’s just a dilapidated city, it won’t last much longer. Don’t worry, I’ll summon all the capable fighters in Tianle City, and I’ll participate in the battle myself. I must tear them apart. I can’t let them secure their position.” Gua Zhengnie recalled his two deceased beauties and felt a surge of anger. Had he not escaped quickly, he would have been the one to die. He was determined to avenge his beloved women.

Xiao Bai was rendered speechless.

“Heh, if there’s anything you need, just say it. I’ll do everything I can for you. This time I’ll lead the battle personally and prevent such mishaps from happening again.”

“That’s not what I meant. I was thinking… I’m quite familiar with Jiang Zhuge, whom I’ve dealt with before. But I don’t know this new sect leader well.”

“He’s just a young upstart. We fell for his trap this time, but he won’t always be so lucky,” Gua Zhengnie said, glancing at Gui Lang.

Gui Lang kept his head low.

Gua Zhengnie continued, “Even if he brought two hundred disciples from the Demon Domain back to the Wasteland City, it’s still a ruined city. They haven’t even gotten a proper foothold yet and can’t really do much. We won’t fall for any tricks now. Didn’t you say it yourself? The biggest challenge towards our rule in the Wastelands is the New City Sect. If we want to unify the Wastelands, we have to eliminate the New City Sect.”

Xiao Bai lifted his head. He seemed to be agitated. Apparently, he wouldn’t listen to anyone trying to advise him otherwise.

“Don’t worry. I’ll give them three days to rest. I need some time to prepare. I will have someone scout around to see if there are any hidden schemes. If there are, we will hold off our plans until all suspicions are cleared. Then we can attack the Wasteland City.”

Gui Lang had never seen Gua Zhengnie so meek.

What else could Xiao Bai say? If he didn’t agree, it would be disrespectful. He had heard that Gua Zhengnie’s most beloved woman had died in the wasteland, and all his hoarded treasures had turned to ashes.

After some calculations, he decided the fight was still viable. He said, “Alright, we will follow your command.”

“I knew you were my brother. This time, I am going to set a fire, burning down the Wasteland City.”

It seemed that only by turning Wasteland City into ruins like his mansion, could he ease the hatred in his heart.

Xiao Bai nodded.

Gua Zhengnie said, “They are barely surviving. Whatever you need for preparation, just say the word, I’ll give it to you. We still have some people in Tianle City which can be mobilized. They’ll follow your orders.”

Xiao Bai said, “As long as I can contribute my small part, I’ll spare no efforts.”

“Quit the small talk, come in quickly. We will definitely defeat the New City Sect,” Gua Zhengnie pulled Xiao Bai into the room.

Xiao Bai felt a bit embarrassed. However, his son Xiao Han was right, gaining Gua Zhengnie’s favor was of utmost importance.

He had actually let Gui Lang go. He had really spared Gui Lang!

“Forget about this. Let them be arrogant for a couple days. We can definitely make a comeback. I believe in you. Just take a good rest for a few days and then we’ll attack Wasteland City again.” Gua Zhengnie expressed his deep hatred for the people from New City Sect. Their presence was a thorn in his side, making him feel as if he was living in hell. Whenever he dreamt, their violations would be forefront in his mind.

Mitra Monk and others soon learned about the incident at Sky Domain City.

The drowning of hundreds left Mitra Monk in disbelief. The youth had led just over two hundred men to drown hundreds of the Third Demon’s men and resolved the crisis in Wasteland City.

Meng Xiuluo commented, “Given this situation, the Third Demon’s men are likely no match for the New City Sect.”

Jing Po retorted, “Don’t be so certain. Even though they drowned hundreds, the Third Demon is still somewhat stronger than the New City Sect.”

Meng Xiuluo smiled coldly, “In the blink of an eye, the situation can turn around. From such a promising chess game to this mess, it’s quite a masterpiece.”

A disciple behind them said, “I heard that what infuriates Gua Zhengnie the most isn’t the death of his hundreds of men, but that of his two beauties. His palace was reduced to ruins. He has sworn to take revenge.”

“This guy has no discernment. He’s no match for Ye Chen.” Meng Xiuluo had a thorough understanding of Ye Chen. She knew Ye Chen was hard to tackle, a tough nut to crack. She continued, “Hopefully, he won’t fall for another trap and end up completely disadvantaged.”
