Chapter 616 - 616 602 A Dangerous Threat is Looming

Chapter 616: Chapter 602: A Dangerous Threat is Looming Chapter 616: Chapter 602: A Dangerous Threat is Looming Chen Jiu nodded and said, “Without us, even if another few months pass, Big Beard will be no match for the New City Sect and the Xue Family brothers. I’m afraid that if this drags on, Big Beard will be wiped out by New City Sect and the Xue Family brothers directly, and then we’ll just be left watching from the sidelines, unable to contribute.” That’s when Yuan Menhai urged them to take action.

Xiao Han chimed in, “Exactly, in such a case we would only be spectators, unable to help. That would make all our talk of resisting the New City Sect here just empty words.”

Xiao Bai added, “But we haven’t discussed this with the Alliance Leader yet, we don’t know if he would agree.”

Chen Jiu laughed again and said, “The Alliance Leader is quite understanding and wants to extinguish the New City Sect as quickly as possible. If we could swiftly annihilate the New City Sect, he wouldn’t care about the means we use – even murder or arson would be acceptable. What he wants is the removal of the New City Sect without any troubles left behind. Additionally, if we were to infiltrate the dark territories, we would gain immense advantage, to the point where we could do so without revealing ourselves as the Third Demon.”

“Infiltrate the dark territories secretly?” Xiao Bai was somewhat stirred by this idea.

Chen Jiu said, “Absolutely. If we secretly take a bunch of people in, it would give us a commanding advantage. If we plan well, in just a few days we could wipe out the New City Sect before they even get the chance to react. Then, what would we have to worry about? Who would be the wiser, who could possibly object?”

Xiao Han agreed and said, “Just as Chen Jiu said, if we go in and join forces with Big Beard, with our overwhelming advantage, we could wipe them out in just a few days. Once we eliminate the first, the remaining piece would be easy for Big Beard to handle, and they wouldn’t even have time to complain.”

Chen Jiu chuckled and said, “Indeed, we can’t stick to old rules any longer. The times have changed; those were rules set by Wei Sisan, but he’s been long dead – who would still care about them?”

Xiao Bai began to see the rationale and said, “Perhaps I’ve really been too ingrained by Wei Sisan’s old-fashioned ways.”

Chen Jiu responded, “It’s understandable. Now the focus is on exterminating the New City Sect – any means are feasible as long as they serve this end.”

Xiao Bai agreed, “Absolutely. We’re just sitting here, doing nothing – that’s not right. Big Beard’s a buffoon, all he knows is fighting but lacks strategy.”

“Totally agree. Big Beard is no match for the wily Jiang Zhuge, who will certainly take him for a ride.”

Xiao Bai nodded subtly.

Just then, word came from outside that Big Beard and Ling Bo were here.

Chen Jiu laughed and said, “I expect they’re finally out of ideas and are coming to us for help.”

Xiao Bai smiled faintly and said, “Let’s go meet them.”

Chen Jiu also got up.

It was dark outside by then.

As soon as Big Beard came in, he began complaining about his dire circumstances and how he was currently in a passive position. He went on to express his eagerness to make contributions for the Third Demon and so forth, like he was begging for silver.

Xiao Bai acknowledged his complaints non-stop by saying “Ah…Ah…”

Then Big Beard shifted the topic back, saying, “Now, I don’t know what to do. Frankly, I’d love to wipe them out, but now that the New City Sect and the Xue Family brothers have teamed up, whenever I tackle one party, the other comes to their aid.”

“So what’s your plan?” Xiao Bai asked pointedly.

“Why don’t you come in? Don’t you want to destroy the New City Sect? You can’t just stand by.”

“Are we allowed to go in?”

“Why not? When the time comes, you don’t have to appear as the Third Demon. Just say you’re with us.”

“That’s a good plan.”

“We’re holding a grudge, and you stay out here watching, not even offering any help.”

Chen Jiu said, “Our leader hasn’t said that he won’t help. We also want to help. In fact, we were about to discuss this matter with you.”

Big Beard looked up, “Really?”

“Of course, you and us both want to eradicate the New City Sect as soon as possible, we don’t want to waste any more time in this freezing cold place without a proper city. Being here for over a month has not been pleasant.”

“Exactly, hurry up then! You should have thought of this earlier. Always thinking about those bullshit rules! The New City Sect and Xue Family brothers, they hope you play by the rules. If they take us down first, you’ll have to deal with them yourselves.”

“It’s not that severe.” Xiao Bai said.

“We believe you don’t want the New City Sect to survive. Given that, let’s lend a hand, join forces and wipe them out. It’ll be a load off everyone’s mind.”

Xiao Bai nodded.

Big Beard said, “Come on in quickly, let’s join forces.”

Xiao Bai replied, “No. It’s necessary to go in, but we must have a plan; rushing in recklessly won’t do. We need to make preparations, make some arrangements.”

“Arrangements.”

“Yes, we must arrange things properly, we can’t simply rush in. We need to make the most of it, catching them by surprise.”

“Catch them off guard? How?” Big Beard asked, puzzled.

Xiao Bai walked over to the map and said, “This is how we do it – you attack the Xue Family brothers.”

“I attack the Xue Family brothers?”

“Right. As usual, the New City Sect will certainly come to their aid. We’ll set up an ambush mid-way and surround them.”

“Oh, that’s quite a good idea.”

“It is, right? But we mustn’t make any mistakes. If we blow our cover, all efforts would be in vain.”

Big Beard nodded and asked, “Where do you plan to lay the ambush? Where will we surround them?”

Pointing to a region on the map, Xiao Bai said, “Right here. This is the perfect place for an ambush. You’ll lead the attack on the Xue Family brothers’ turf, while I hide here. Once the New City Sect shows up, we surround them. When that happens you need not worry about anything else.”

“Sounds like a great plan. We should have thought of it before. Had we used this earlier, would I have had to struggle till now? And you, you wouldn’t have been sitting here dumbstruck!” Big Beard exclaimed excitedly.

“To make this plan work, there’s just one thing we need – absolute secrecy. The New City Sect can’t know.”

“Of course, it has to be airtight. I wish I could wipe them out tonight.” the big-bearded man said.

The execution plan was quickly finalized.

“Alright, here’s to our immediate success.”

“Sure thing, immediate success it is. Once you guys help me take care of the New City Sect, those bastards, I’ll bury those two troublesome brothers from the Xue family alive without hesitation.” The big bearded man used to have a chance to wipe out the Xue brothers but was not ruthless enough. Now, he surely wouldn’t hesitate.

Ye Chen, along with over sixty people, was already nearing the entrance to the Dark Zone.

They were planning to rush through under the cover of the dark night.

Li Mo had gone to scout ahead at this point.

Ye Chen and his team were preparing their meal for the night.

All around was quiet as the wind whistled.

Ye Chen walked over to Rong’er and asked, “Holding up alright?” He guessed that she hadn’t traveled such a long distance before.

Rong’er gave a small smile, saying, “Yes, I’m just fine.”

“They say the journey isn’t always smooth.”

“I’m really alright, I can handle it.”

Guo Yuyun came over, sarcastically remarking, “Is that all? Our girl and I came all the way from the Central Plains, just the two of us girls, even had to prepare our own food.”

Ye Chen replied, “That was your choice, no one forced you to do so.” He knew very well why she chose to do so.

Guo Yuyun gave him a kick, commenting, “If your feet are blistered, let her carry you. She just loves doing that sort of thing.”

Ye Chen replied, “Yes, I do love carrying beautiful women. So what?”

Guo Yuyun walked away in another direction.

It wasn’t long before Li Mo returned.

Ye Chen asked, “How’s it looking?”

“Not sure how, but there seems to be fewer people”, Li Mo answered.

“What do you mean?”

“I remember last time I came out, there were a lot more people guarding the entrance. At least twice as many as now.”

“Really! What’s that about?”

“Don’t know, just that there’s fewer than last time.”

“Then it’ll be easier for us to get through, won’t it?” said Ye Chen.

“Of course, it will be much easier.” Li Mo sat down.

Guo Yuyun asked, “Could it be that some people have left?”

Li Mo shook his head, saying, “Don’t know. Later, we’ll use the old trick to sneak through.”

The Xue brothers had taught them a way to easily blend in.

Ye Chen brought some food over to Wan Danrong and Guo Yuyun. However, Guo Yuyun quipped, “Oh, you’re actually taking care of me.”

“So, you want it or not?” asked Ye Chen.

“I see you favour the new and tire of the old.”

“Only just found out you’re the old one.”

“I won’t stoop to your level.” replied Guo Yuyun.

“How patient.”

“It’s because you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately; I understand.”

“You’re destined to be abused then.” Ye Chen teased.

Xiao Bai chose this dusk to secretly lead a large group of people into the Dark Zone, leaving only Chen Jiu to guard the entrance with a few others.

The big-bearded man only needed a portion of his men to help him deal with the New City Sect. He was decided on a major operation tonight, to got rid of them once and for all.

All fell silent.

Guo Yuyun remarked, “It’s said you saved that girl’s life. She kept searching for you, and even insisted on you becoming her master.”

Ye Chen was lying with closed eyes but he wasn’t asleep. He said, “You seem to know a lot!”

“She didn’t offer herself to you in return, did she?”

“Actually yes, she did hint at it. I said I’d consider it.”
