Chapter 1346: Chapter 1332: Scheming Chapter 1346: Chapter 1332: Scheming Ye Chen knew the Wu Xinyou Shi Chengyuan was talking about was that big guy who was chasing him with a sword that night, and hurriedly said, “Then your Clan Chief should be able to do it.”
The Scorpion Witch didn’t fall for this trick. He definitely wasn’t going to be fooled and said, “I need to coordinate everything. When I co out and deal with Zang Di with you, who will strategize then?”
“This girl, huh.”
“Joke, our Demon Clan, how could we let an outsider be our strategist?” The speaker was Shi Chengyuan.
ng Xiuluo also said, “I can’t strategize for them either. I have to be in charge of the rescue.”
Why did it seem like these guys had tead up against him? It was truly odd. The whole matter wasn’t his doing, and the most infuriating thing was that girl. He understood now; it must have been the Scorpion Witch getting jealous.
ng Xiuluo pinched him and said, “Do you want to save people or not? I know that if we don’t rescue them today, they won’t be intact even if we save them tomorrow.”
This girl was like she had received so inside information; Ye Chen couldn’t say anything in response.
At last, Shi Chengyuan found his opportunity, thinking about how smug Ye Chen was the night before, now he must be regretting it.
They definitely were in cahoots; he felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, those guys were definitely laughing at him inwardly. Especially that girl, she was no goodie-two-shoes—how could she be so malicious?
Just that morning he had been pondering how he could avoid using the Wolf King’s Ring’s magic power as much as possible. The best solution was to have soone help him. The night before, he had a brief contest with Shi Chengyuan and the Scorpion Witch and knew their martial arts were strong. Having soone to help would certainly make a difference. Alas, they had beaten him to the punch.
As he walked around the streets, he inquired about Zang Di’s martial arts strength and realized he was soone not even Longhun could surely defeat. Why had he been so foolish the night before? If he had just outright beaten that girl, he should have said he couldn’t summon magic power. Now, any explanation was too late.
The girl said she would help eventually. How could that be possible? What was she really thinking, no one knew. To still help then? Impossible.
“Alright, if he deals with it, that should be okay, right?” ng Xiuluo didn’t want them to get stuck on who would deal with Zang Di.
Ye Chen still wanted to say sothing.
But ng Xiuluo stepped hard on the top of his foot, causing him to cry out in pain, bending over to rub his foot.
“Okay, let’s move on to the next step, which is how we’re going to work together,” ng Xiuluo drank a cup of tea.
Shi Chengyuan asked, “Let’s talk about how you plan to save the hostages.”
“A feint to the east while attacking in the west. You guys make a move, let them think you want revenge, and we’ll find a way to get the hostages out,” she said.
Shi Chengyuan laughed and said, “Heh, that won’t work. If we tie up Zang Di and draw all the firepower to us, freeing you from the predicant and you all run away, it’s our people who die. What do we gain?”
ng Xiuluo had anticipated this response and asked, “So, what do you suggest we do?”
“To rescue the people, we must extend our victory. Help us join forces to deal with Zang Di and his people.”
“That’s fine,” ng Xiuluo agreed for the ti being.
“Don’t think we don’t know you’re preparing boats to escape. Once you get away, you’ll go back on your word,” he warned.
This was an obvious threat. It seed Shi Chengyuan was indeed not simple. He replied, “We can’t stay here forever either. As you know, the people from the Thirty-Six Islands are all over the place looking for mbers of the Dragon Slaying Clan. Once the Slaughter Island battle kicks off, it won’t take long for them to learn about the situation here, and they’ll quickly send people. If we don’t leave in ti, can you guarantee our safety?”
Shi Chengyuan understood her point, saying, “That’s true. But just because you’re safe, doesn’t an you can leave all the trouble to us.”
ng Xiuluo replied, “Rest assured, we’ll join forces with you for a good fight, how about that?”
The Scorpion Witch nodded slightly.
“You also have to understand, we can’t stay here too long. With a conflict on Slaughter Island, it will certainly draw attention. They’re still looking for us everywhere. We need to leave quickly, or else we won’t be able to leave at all.”
Ye Chen had just raised his head when they had already begun discussing the next steps of the plan.
The Scorpion Witch also had the sa thought: “Okay, we’ll rescue your people and join forces with us. Let’s see what the outco will be.” He naturally wanted to take this opportunity. When the ti ca, he would have over a hundred people helping him, which was better than no assistance at all.
Actually, before all this, he had already planned to give Zang Di a good beating, regardless of the Dragon Slaying Clan matter—he was going to do it anyway.
The girl was right. If they really drew the Thirty-Six Islands’ forces over, they would surely not help the Dragon Slaying Clan fight the Thirty-Six Islands.
“No problems then?” he asked.
“Fine, just as you said, we’ll draw the firepower while you rescue your people, and then take the opportunity to strike hard. We’ll attack from both front and back,” the Scorpion Witch declared.
Shi Chengyuan added, “But don’t run away first when the ti cos, leaving all the trouble to us. We won’t agree to that.”
ng Xiuluo reassured, “Don’t worry. If Zang Di dares capture our people, we want to take the chance to teach them a lesson before we leave. We won’t miss this great opportunity.”
Ye Chen still felt a numbing pain from that kick. That damn girl was truly ruthless, actually using lethal force. He wondered if he was going to end up crippled, and then she would have to confront Zang Di herself.
“Are there any issues then? If not, let’s directly discuss the details of the plan,” she said.
The Scorpion Witch and Shi Chengyuan both nodded, seeming quite satisfied. ng Xiuluo wasted no ti, quickly laying out all the plans on the map. She was very aware that news of being stranded on Slaughter Island must have spread, and even if the people of the Thirty-Six Islands didn’t find out as quickly, Ling Li and the rest would soon learn and co looking for them, trying to pressure them into revealing Longhun’s hiding place. In any case, staying on Slaughter Island one more day would an one more day of danger.
By this ti, he had already spent two days on Slaughter Island, and today he had to rescue the person and take the chance to leave under the cover of night.
Everyone quickly dispersed and went down to prepare.
Ye Chen muttered, “Don’t get so excited so early. It’s still questionable whether we can even rescue anybody, not to ntion trying to pull off a pincer move afterwards.”
“Can you stop talking nonsense that doesn’t help at all? You’re just looking for trouble,” ng Xiuluo said.
“It’s you who’s causing trouble. In a fit of anger, you pushed out there to deal with Zang Di.”
“Oh, you seed quite confident last night,” ng Xiuluo said with a shallow smile.
“Last night, I didn’t know how powerful Zang Di’s martial arts were. This morning I found out that even Longhun might not be his match.”
“Didn’t you defeat Longhun before? And now you’re worried about not winning against Zang Di!”
“You really don’t understand the pain until you’re in my shoes.”
“Don’t worry, I will help you when the ti cos.”
“Haha, you help? How’s that possible? It’d be a stroke of luck if you didn’t stab in the back,” he scoffed.
ng Xiuluo gave a cold laugh and said, “When you were up against our Dragon Slaying Clan before, you were full of confidence. How co you sound like a scaredy-cat now?”
“I just knew you couldn’t be that kind. You must be scheming sothing bad again.”
“Haha, what bad sches can I plot now!” ng Xiuluo said. “If you’re thinking of rescuing that girl by yourself, do you think you can make it in there alone? I acknowledge your abilities, but I can assure you, you’ll find it hard even to lay eyes on her.”
All the others had gone down, leaving only him and ng Xiuluo.
“You shouldn’t have pushed out last night just to blow off so steam.”
“I had no choice, the situation was urgent.”
“How could I have fallen for your trick.”
“Realizing your regret now is too late.”
“You’re not planning to use to deal with Zang Di and snatch the girl away, are you?”
“Ah, it seems you’re not so foolish after all, to even guess what I’m thinking,” ng Xiuluo said.
This girl was being so direct it was frightening.
“Concentrate on dealing with Zang Di.”
Ye Chen sneered and said, “But do you know what would happen if I expose that I’m carrying the Wolf King’s Ring?”
“You might get targeted by Zang Di and the Scorpion Witch.”
“At least you know that.”
“What’s that got to do with ?”
“You can’t bear to see the Wolf King’s Ring fall into their hands, can you?” Ye Chen couldn’t allow the Wolf King’s Ring to fall into their hands.
“I can’t control that, but I believe you should have a way,” she said nonchalantly, pushing the trouble onto him.
She spoke so casually, as if just pushing all the trouble onto him.
“I’m not joking with you. She won’t be missing a single hair today, but whether she will still be intact tomorrow, I don’t know.” She was worried this guy might go back on his word.
“What do you an?”
“Today, Zang Di will make them clean up, and later he’ll choose a new bride. Who can guarantee he won’t pick her and consummate the marriage tonight?”
“How do you know?” He wondered if the girl was just trying to scare him, probably afraid he’d change his mind.
“Of course, I have my ways,” ng Xiuluo continued. “Focus on dealing with Zang Di. It’s a rare opportunity, and as long as you can hold your own, rescuing that girl shouldn’t be difficult—you just need to handle it well.”
Ye Chen looked at her; this girl was clever, not a simple character; always thinking ahead, like on Lotus Leaf Island, taking the lead in making plans. Using their search for Yu Yun the night before to deduce that they would co to the docks to check the boats the next day, so she got a step ahead that night, capturing him onto the boat—was proof of her capability.
It seed he had underestimated this girl.
Her ability to persuade the Scorpion Witch with just a few words showed that she was not simple either.
No, after rescuing Guo Yuyun, he must figure out a way to leave quickly. He couldn’t follow this girl any longer, or else he would fall into her trap again.
