Chapter 220: Chapter 214: Target Wasteland City
Ye Chen and his companions returned to Tianle City, and on this particular night, they received a ssage from Ming Qi, informing them that Gua Zhengnie had taken action.
Can Mo comnted, “It seems that Gua Zhengnie is growing restless.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan smiled faintly, an expression of soone who had expected it all along, utterly unsurprised. In fact, he would have been shocked if Gua Zhengnie hadn’t acted.
Li Mo added, “It would indeed be strange if he could stay put.”
Yang Jing had fled, along with the Second and Third Ghosts, apparently escaping under the cover of darkness, likely scared out of his wits.
Kong Sha also returned, leaving only Jiang Zhuge unaccounted for. Kong Sha said, “In that case, Ming Qi might be in danger in Wasteland City.”
Wei Sisan didn’t seem too worried, replying, “Don’t worry, they’re prepared and won’t be easily found by Gua Zhengnie and his people.” Having spent so many years in Wasteland City, he had a certain level of confidence in this.
Kong Sha suggested, “We should use this opportunity to return to Wasteland City.”
Li Mo voiced his concern, “I’m afraid they won’t let us go back.”
Can Mo also chid in, “Yes, it’s possible they won’t let us return. Since they’re planning to control Wasteland City, they must be determined.”
Wei Sisan laughed, “They can only lay their cards on the table with us now. We should pay a visit and see what they’re planning, then decide our next move.”, he was curious to see if Gua Zhengnie would back down.
Kong Sha insistently stated, “Gua Zhengnie certainly can’t sit still any longer, they have been wanting to control Wasteland City for a long ti.”
Wei Sisan comnted, “It’s not that easy to take control of Wasteland City.” He had already prepared his plan. He continued, “You did a good job, Ye Chen.”
“Not doing well, just surviving,” Ye Chen joked. He didn’t want to attend the conference in the first place; it was Can Mo who dragged him here.
Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan chuckled.
Yet Ling’er spoke, “He even captured Hong Ying from Piaoxiang Tavern, he is ruthless.”
Ye Chen quickly replied, “I invited her out, and I’ve already sent her back, unhard.”
“Invited her out? You obviously captured her! Do you think I’m blind?” She would never miss an opportunity like this.
However, Wei Sisan interjected, “Sotis, the situation calls for drastic asures, but this shouldn’t happen again.”
“What? Father, you’re just going to let this guy off like this? He acted ruthlessly, just like Yang Jing tried to capture
in the past.”
“Ah, the situation called for it. Let it be. We need all the help we can get right now.” Wei Sisan stated.
Ye Chen just gave a faint smile, clearly gleeful, while Ling’er looked very dissatisfied, seeming like she wanted to give him due punishnt.
Wei Sisan still broke into a cold sweat, saying, “I didn’t expect so many things to happen in this trip!”
“If not for Ye Chen, I’m afraid that none of us would have been able to escape from Centipede Mountain,” Can Mo quickly added.
“Hmm, I know. I didn’t expect to attract the attention of the Four Ghosts and Tong Hegan either. But it turned out well. We managed to eliminate them all, which has put our minds at ease.”
Can Mo added, “Exactly, by now we have almost complete control over Ghost City, which is a significant improvent from the past. We just need to leave a small number of people here, and I guess it won’t cause any more trouble.”
Now Wei Sisan had the leisure to deal with Gua Zhengnie. He called out, “Kong Sha, send a ssage by carrier pigeon and ask Jiang Zhuge and Zhilang Taoist Priest to co back.”
“So we’re not going to continue the pursuit of Jue Ming?” soone asked.
“We’ll give it up if we can’t find him. Once we defeat them, we’ve achieved our goal. Since he’s on the run, he’ll be hiding. He won’t be easy to catch.” He trusted that Gua Zhengnie couldn’t keep his composure. The next steps were more critical.
Kong Sha nodded, agreeing, “Alright, I’ll send the ssage by carrier pigeon for their return.”
Wei Sisan felt it was ti to shift his focus. He wanted to bring all his forces back to deal with Gua Zhengnie. He believed that Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu would join forces. Since they had already made their moves, it was about ti to start.
Wei Sisan said, “Alright, rest for a day now that you’re back.”
Ye Chen glanced at him. “A day of rest only?”
“Yes, we’ll return to Wasteland City the day after tomorrow.”
“Returning to Wasteland City?”
“Guess they won’t let us into Wasteland City,” Ye Chen comnted, bringing a hunch he and Red Demonic Spirit had discussed.
“Well, if they won’t let us in, we’ll just force our way in,” Wei Sisan chuckled.
Ling’er asked, “Has Father decided to fight them?”
“The fight started long ago.” Wei Sisan had already started the war with Guazheng Wang—his near death experience and the death of Zheng Yibai had made him see the hopelessness of Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu’s position.
“We should return to Wasteland City indeed. Ming Qi and the others can hide for a while, but they can’t stay hidden forever. We must be prepared,” Can Mo added.
Wei Sisan obviously understood this and responded, “As for the arrangents, we’ll wait for Jiang Zhuge and the others to return. Then, we’ll discuss together.”
Ye Chen comnted, “Ah, I’m tired. You guys handle it on your own.”. He got up to leave.
“Wait,” Wei Sisan called after him, “I need to discuss sothing with you.”
“No need. I’m probably not ant to be the Sect Leader. If I continue playing like this, I will end up losing everything soday.” Ye Chen had already walked out the door.
Wei Sisan laughed to himself. This young man was definitely talented—more talented than he had expected.
Ye Chen was feeling hungry by now.
Seeing a young maid trailing him, Ye Chen asked, “Why did you co out too? Shouldn’t you be discussing things with your father? I need to go back and prepare, figuring out if I can move out of your courtyard tonight.”
“He has many matters weighing on him now and still needs to discuss other matters with them,” Ling’er replied.
“So what? A few brief words and all can be settled. Go now, while they’re all present. We can clear things up at once, so I can regain my freedom,” Ye Chen continued. “The news that I defeated Yang Jing, the Four Ghosts, and Tong Hegan has spread, and many won know
now and want to marry . It’s best we clarify our relationship now, so it won’t harm their prospects of marrying .”
Wei Yiling was not pleased with him and said, “You say it.”
“! Are you regretting it, don’t want to speak anymore! Do you really want to marry ?”
“Damn it, how could I possibly regret it? You’re so terrible that no one else would want you.”
“I know you’re being sarcastic because you think I’m too good to let go.”
“You are so self-absorbed!” She quickly stepped in front of Ye Chen.
Entering into the quiet yard, Ye Chen shouted, “Hey girl, hurry up and get dinner ready. I’m hungry.”
Wan Lan ca out of her room, looked at Ye Chen, and said, “I’m not your servant.”
“Hey, what servant? It’s already dusk. Don’t you need to eat? Hurry up and get the al ready. I’m really a bit tired.”
Wan Lan looked at Ling’er. Ling’er was the one to say, “Let’s prepare the al.”
Wan Lan went out to prepare the al.
Ye Chen walked to the table, sat down, gulped down several cups of tea, turned his head and said, “It seems that Hong Ying threatening you with a knife didn’t scare you.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Why do you so wish for your father to punish ?”
“I’m trying to make you a better person.”
“You think I don’t know how to behave?”
Ling’er gave a cold, derisive laugh.
“I’m doing it for everyone’s good. If it weren’t for Hong Ying, could we have defeated those three groups at once? Who knows how many disciples would have died in the future.”
“You’re just making excuses for your misdeeds.”
Ye Chen ate a peanut and said, “Well, anyway, I’m not as good as you think. I don’t mind bending so rules to get things done.”
Wei Sisan had already found out that Gua Zhengnie did not search for Ming Qi in Wasteland City. Although they did take action, they did not look for Ming Qi throughout the city, which surprised him. They were not making a big fuss, so Wei Sisan felt a little relieved. At least it indicated that Ming Qi was safe for now and they had been prepared so they probably wouldn’t find Ming Qi within a few days.
Wei Sisan was thinking about sothing.
Kong Sha ca over and asked, “Is the Sect Leader perhaps worried about Ming Qi and the others?”
How could he not worry? Wei Sisan nodded slightly, then asked, “Have you sent a carrier pigeon to Jiang Zhuge?”
“Hmm, we’ve already sent a carrier pigeon ssage to him.”
Wei Sisan fell silent, pondering the next step.
“The Sect Leader is certainly worried about sothing.”
However, Wei Sisan just smiled faintly.
“I think everything is going well now, which is to our great advantage. We should seize the montum.”
“We can’t afford to be complacent.”
“When the ti cos, the Sect Leader can hand over the plan to Ye Chen. I believe he can definitely complete it.”
“I should go back too.”
“The Sect Leader’s health…”
“It’s much better now.” Wei Sisan, wasn’t sure whether Gua Zhengnie wanted to lay his cards on the table. If he did, why would he stealthily instruct a group of n in black to act? Since he ordered the n in black, it ant he had so scruples.
“Does the Sect Leader still think Gua Zhengnie would not take a risk?”
Wei Sisan said, “It’s ti to expose his true face. I just don’t know if they will let us into Wasteland City. If they do, I have to go back.”
Indeed, Wei Sisan, once the Alliance Leader, going back might suppress Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu imdiately.
“I think it’s highly likely that they won’t let us back into Wasteland City.” Kong Sha said.
Wei Sisan thought the sa. But after a mont’s thought, he decided to make the trip anyway and said, “It’s no trouble for
to make one more trip. If he can’t sit still, I’m curious to see what he intends to do.”
Upon hearing this, Kong Sha imdiately understood.
“They must be getting restless; otherwise, they wouldn’t suddenly take action against Ming Qi and the rest.” Kong Sha said.
“Hmm, we need to plan this well.” Wei Sisan said.
“Things have finally stabilized here in Ghost City. Jue Ming certainly won’t cause any problems on his side. This is the perfect opportunity for us to take action and deal with them.”
“We can’t have any luck.”
“Should we be wary of the Sky Domain Sect?”
Wei Sisan still rembered what happened last ti vividly. He suspected the people of the Sky Domain Sect, and it was proper to be a little careful. He replied, “Hmm, we just need to keep an eye on them.”
“We just don’t know if the Sky Domain Sect will help them.”
Wei Sisan was pondering this, too.
“If they ask for help and the Sky Domain Sect assists them without our preparation, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
Wei Sisan said, “Let’s wait until Jiang Zhuge cos back.”
