Chapter 132: Chapter 127
“I’m not claiming I’m pure either.” Ye Chen murmured, “I think, perhaps, I could establish a sect of my own, called the Willow Leaf Sect.”
“You think you can just establish a sect whenever you feel like it! You have to gain their approval first, not to ntion you need silver. Where will you find silver?” the Red Demonic Spirit retorted.
“You’re skilled! We can first start a gambling house, win a good amount, then we can get going.”
“So why not just win the silver, buy off all of Wei Sisan’s n, and have them obey you.”
“Is that even possible?” Ye Chen asked.
“You’re daydreaming, so unrealistic, you think everything is that easy! You know, even if I gave you Wei Sisan’s position, you wouldn’t be able to do anything. Do you believe it?”
“How would you know.”
“Others have held that position for so many years, you think they got there by lazing around! They’ve climbed up step by step, from the very bottom. Those who’ve reached that position each have their personal life philosophy and their martial arts skills are impeccable. If you were in that position, would the people beneath you obey? It is a well-structured system that handles relationships among people, it requires experience and it’s complicated. You need the tempering of ti to know how to handle affairs, don’t count on others to risk their lives for you easily.”
“I understand that, it’s just like learning martial arts, it requires ti to settle in.”
“It’s not an easy matter, how many hardships, entanglents, and choices one has to undergo, only the party concerned knows best. You need to climb step by step to that position to understand the joys and sorrows in this.”
“By your account, how many more years will it take for
to beco the Sect Leader?”
“You have to earn their respect first, only then will they work for you. You think this is playacting, just whooshy-whoosh and then you’ll beco the master of the Wastelands. People who are bought won’t die for you.”
“Then tell
a way, what should I do? I understand a lot of the principles you said, but you should point out a clear path for .”
“The quickest way is definitely to marry that lass we just t,” the Red Demonic Spirit jokingly said.
“So this is what you call being down to earth, directly selling my body.”
“To sell your body, soone has to want it first. Your stinking flesh, who’d want it. Even if you gave it away, they wouldn’t want it.”
“Then why are you encouraging
to marry her?” Ye Chen asked.
“I just want to see if you truly have such an intention.”
“You are teaching your disciple bad things.” Ye Chen muttered, “In the future, I’ll have to carefully filter your words. For all I know, you’d tell
to rob an antique store, I wouldn’t know if robbing an antique store is right or wrong.”
The Red Demonic Spirit subtly smiled.
“Seriously, you’re too good at fooling people.”
“I just want to see if you genuinely an it.”
“That lass could skin
alive, and you’re still considering this. Her old man is the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon, how could he see
as worth it. It’s impossible.”
“It’s good that you recognize your limits, don’t fantasize too much, just dream a bit.”
“However, you’re right about one thing, if I really could chase after that lass, it may be the quickest way.”
“You’re close to selling your body and soul,” the Red Demonic Spirit pointed out.
“Wasn’t that your suggestion! Only because of your advice, I thought about it.”
At the end of the street, passersby were becoming less and less. The Red Demonic Spirit ca out of Ye Chen’s body and slithered toward the trees lining the streets like a snake.
“If anyone sees you in that form, you will scare them to death.”
The Red Demonic Spirit ignored him.
Ye Chen looked around and continued, “We should really do sothing, at the very least we should understand what the Wastelands truly are.”
“I think you should read more books.”
“Art of War, Six Tactics, Dao De Jing, I’ve read all of them, isn’t that a lot already?”
“At most, you can strategize on paper, you still need lots of practice.”
“I also want to practice properly, but how am I supposed to do it?” Ye Chen continued, “It would be best to establish my own sect, and then I can slowly start practicing. But you must bring
so silver first.”
The Red Demonic Spirit scoffed coldly and said, “If you want silver, earn it yourself. Whether you want to sell your body or soul, that’s for you to choose.”
“I’ve been training martial arts with you for four and a half years; I don’t know how to do anything else, you can’t abandon .”
The Red Demonic Spirit said coolly, “Should I also find a wife and raise a child for you?”
Ye Chen continued, “Let’s discuss it properly. If you really want
to sell my body, you have to give
a thod to do it.”
“Tonight, find out where that lass is staying. Go into her room, go from uncooked to cooked rice, show up in her bed tomorrow morning. Let’s see if she dares to arrest you, if she still has any sha.”
“This is sothing only a notorious thief would do. Are you going to leave
stripped of my dignity and unable to ever hold my head up high again?”
The Red Demonic Spirit had already vanished straight ahead.
Then, once again, Ye Chen was left alone. Unexpectedly, snowflakes started to fall, like goose feathers. Half a moon was visible in the night sky. He hadn’t realized that he had been here for four and a half years. In the blink of an eye, he wasn’t sure what he should do. Should he return to the Central Plains? It seed there was nothing there to make him stay, yet it also seed like there was sothing preventing him from leaving.
Maybe they had already forgotten about him, perhaps they were already happily settled down with their own families. The sound of footsteps echoed distinctly. It had been a long ti since he had allowed these mories to resurface. Observing the ceaseless snowflakes, he was unexpectedly moved. The streets remained peacefully quiet. If he continued this way, everything would truly have nothing to do with him, including people and happenings.
If he continued like this, he was not far off from leaving ho.
He had to do sothing.
Gua Zhengnie found Zun Yu and poured out his grievances to him. Zun Yu himself was unsure of what to do, watching Wei Sisan continuously recruit more disciples while his own attempts to do so were unsuccessful. Now all the people in the Wastelands regarded the Third Demon as belonging to Wei Sisan, with him completely out of the picture.
Seeing Wei Sisan using the Third Demon and his own status to recruit disciples for his personal advantage, how could Zun Yu remain idle? He wanted to take action, but was clueless about how. Just then, Gua Zhengnie approached him to discuss this issue, to plan on how to handle Wei Sisan. Of course, Zun Yu was thrilled. He had been hoping to join forces with Gua Zhengnie.
Zun Yu said, “Do you think he will stop using the title of Alliance Leader and the na of the Third Demon to recruit exceptional individuals?”
“It doesn’t matter if he agrees or not. How can we allow him to use the identity of the Third Demon to keep recruiting, thereby strengthening his own team?” Gua Zhengnie replied.
“That’s right, I also dislike him abusing his authority for personal gain.”
Gua Zhengnie continued, “If the current situation continues, it won’t be long before he establishes a new Third Demon order. Plus, we’ll no longer have a place in the Third Demon, let alone the Alliance Leader. Especially the position of Alliance Leader, it can’t be handed over to him.”
“So you want to oust him.”
“Yes, does he plan to die while still in the position of Alliance Leader?”
“Then who will be the Alliance Leader?” Zun Yu asked.
“Either you or I can, as long as we don’t let him be the Alliance Leader anymore. If he continues, we’ll have nothing to do with the Third Demon.” Gua Zhengnie, of course, knew that by himself, it was impossible to overthrow Wei Sisan. Only by joining forces with Zun Yu was there a possibility.
Zun Yu nodded at this.
“We should first strip him of the Alliance Leader title.”
“But, if we strip him of it, soone else will have to take over.” Zun Yu, of course, desperately wanted to be the Alliance Leader himself, but he knew that Gua Zhengnie had the sa desire.
Gua Zhengnie continued, “At any rate, we can’t let Wei Sisan continue as the Alliance Leader. If he continues, then soon, there’ll be no place for us in the Third Demon. They can expel us at any ti, establishing a new Third Demon order, and we absolutely can’t let them succeed. We must work together to pull him down. After that, we can take turns being the Alliance Leader. Isn’t that better?”
Zun Yu nodded slightly.
“No matter who the future Alliance Leader will be, we should first pull him down.”
Zun Yu knew that he was not as strong as Gua Zhengnie. If it ca to a fight for the Alliance Leader’s position, he probably wouldn’t be his match. However, if they could really pull Wei Sisan down, anything could happen. Without Gua Zhengnie’s help, it would be impossible to overthrow Wei Sisan, especially now that his strength had grown so much.
“Little brother, are you afraid that I will steal the position of Alliance Leader?”
Zun Yu heard this and smiled faintly.
Gua Zhengnie said, “Can we implent a rotation system when the ti cos?”
“A rotation system?”
“Yes, take turns being the Alliance Leader. That’s better than letting them have all the power.”
This was a good idea, Zun Yu muttered to himself. If this were to happen, it might be quite good. He dreamt of being the Alliance Leader, but with his strength, he was no match for them. If they could implent a rotation system, when it was his turn to be Alliance Leader, he could also recruit his disciples just like Wei Sisan had done, enhancing his own strength and establishing his own team.
Gua Zhengnie continued, “In any case, we can’t let Wei Sisan continue this way. If he goes on like this, I’m afraid we will lose our place in the Wastelands.”
“Big brother, you really have a sense of humor.”
“I’m not joking. I know that many of the people who have joined now only acknowledge Wei Sisan and completely ignore us. Haven’t you sensed that?”
How could Zun Yu not have sensed it?
Gua Zhengnie continued, “He doesn’t regard us as part of the Third Demon anymore and is continuously expanding his influence without informing us, completely ignoring our existence. We must join forces to remove Wei Sisan. After he is overthrown, we can take turns being the Alliance Leader. Doesn’t that sound better?”
“The two of us take turns being the Alliance Leader?”
“Yes, Wei Sisan has been the Alliance Leader for so many years, it’s about ti it was our turn. Does he plan to remain Alliance Leader till he dies?”
Zun Yu began to fantasize about the scenario if they succeeded.
“I’m not sure what you think, brother, but I plan on seeing Wei Sisan.”
“Good, I’ll take your advice. I’ll go with you to see Wei Sisan and see what he has to say.”
