Chapter 671: Chapter 657: Secretly Making Preparations
San Gui laughed coldly, “How could that be possible? Yang Jing won’t. As you said, Yang Jing only cares about won and those who can help him. Other than that, he couldn’t care less about us. After all, we only have a bit of skill. If he does not value your skills, there’s no way he will value ours.”. He gulped down more wine as he vented his bitterness.
“You can’t really say that. You’ve been with Yang Jing for a long ti, even saving his life, so you probably have a stronger bond with him than I do,” Gui Lang comnted.
“Bullshit! Yang Jing doesn’t give a damn about bonds. The only ones he cares for are his little minions. We an nothing to him. Just because we’ve been with him for a long ti doesn’t an squat. Our lifesaving grace to him is worth shit, otherwise, Jue Ming wouldn’t have wound up like this. Anyone who talks about emotion with Yang Jing is a fool!” Er Gui scoffed, gulping down another half bowl of wine.
San Gui also complained, “He is now the lord of Ghost City, discussing feelings with Shi Mu—what does that make us?”
Gui Lang exclaid in surprise, “You’re not thinking of leaving, are you?”
Er Gui replied, “Right you are. We yearn for freedom as well. There’s no future following Yang Jing. Although being in No. One Heroes might seem impressive now, Yang Jing only cares about himself. Even if he does unify the Wastelands one day, it won’t necessarily benefit us.”
“No way, you guys helped Yang Jing establish No. One Heroes. You are all heroes,” Gui Lang intentionally said this to gauge their reactions. Overall, it seed promising. Both of them seed to have grievances against Yang Jing.
“Jue Ming, who risked his life, has only beco a patrol. What kind of heroes are we?” Er Gui grumbled, especially after seeing Shi Mu climb the ranks from the very bottom. He couldn’t stand that effeminate fop who was nothing more than a brown-noser. What angered him more was that due to a few words from Shi Mu, they were stationed at this damn place called Futu City.
“You two shouldn’t get influenced by ,” Gui Lang seed to feel guilty.
San Gui threw him a cold laugh, “Actually, we also think it’s really unfair. Ghost City was quite good, yet he dumped us here to guard a shitty city that nobody wants.”
“So you guys also harbor resentnts against the City Lord?”
“Of course. We’re especially pissed. Why the hell are we dumped in this shit city? Why does Shi Mu get to stay back?” San Gui continued angrily, “I’ve had enough, it’s not worth it to follow such an unfeeling guy.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Lang said, “Really? Right now, No. One Heroes is thriving, many people want to join.”
“Let them!” Er Gui continued, “Throwing us all here, he probably isn’t afraid of a crowd. That damn Wan Guangcai, he just joined a few days ago and already got Bishui City.”
Bishui City is even better than Futu City and is better situated. How could he be content with this?
“Stop whining,” Gui Lang continued with his drink.
“I’m not whining. It’s true, Yang Jing is really unfair, and I don’t like it one bit,” Er Gui continued, “Brother Gui Lang, is there a better way?”
“What good way can I have? We’re all just taking things one step at a ti.”
Suddenly, the excited Haozi shouted, “I say we rebel!”
Upon hearing this, Gui Lang said, “Haozi, you’re drunk.” In reality, this was Gui Lang’s arrangent. Haozi was already in the loop.
Haozi retorted coldly, “I’m not drunk. Right now, things are going well, and we’re strong. Why not simply break free from No. One Heroes, start our own faction, and elect you, Brother Gui Lang, as our leader?”
Gui Lang cracked a slight smile and said, “You must be drunk. Or else, you wouldn’t be speaking such nonsense.”
But Er Gui chid in, “Actually, we could start our own sect. If that damn Yang Jing looks down on us this much, and favors Shi Mu so much, why should we work for him? We’d do better on our own.”
Gui Lang laughed, “We don’t have any territory of our own; how can we start sothing?”
Still tipsy, Er Gui said, “Territory has to be won. With our current manpower, we could easily conquer so territory. Take Bishui City, for example. What sort of skills does Wan Guangcai, the rchant, have? If we wanted to take it, we could do it in a jiffy. And once we have Bishui City, we can team up with Futu City. Wouldn’t we then have our own territory?”
“You jest.” But deep down, this was exactly what he was thinking.
Er Gui insisted, “I am not jesting. I speak the truth. We indeed can take Bishui City. That rchant Wan Guangcai doesn’t have any experience. He won’t dream of us making a move. If we strike, we will definitely take Bishui City, no doubt about it.”
San Gui just nodded and said, “I think it’s feasible.”
“You two can’t be serious. This will definitely infuriate Yang Jing. If that happens, we’ll only have one path left—death,” Gui Lang feigned concern.
San Gui chuckled and said, “I think not. Brother Gui Lang, I know you’re cautious, but now, while there’s a balance of power among No. One Heroes, Third Demon, and New City Sect, it’s our golden opportunity. If we take Bishui City, Yang Jing might be angry, but he probably won’t move against us easily. They still have to confront the Third Demon and New City Sect. If they attacked us, they may win, but victory would co at a terrible cost. By then, they would be paving the way for the Third Demon.”
Haozi interjected, “Right. It’s just as they said. Therefore, if we take Bishui City, Yang Jing won’t do anything to us. We should seize this opportunity to strengthen ourselves, rather than eternally obey the cold-hearted, one-track-minded Yang Jing. After all, he’s nothing more than a thief who has just had a streak of good luck.”
After hearing this, Er Gui beca excited and said, “That’s exactly right. I feel this plan can work. We revolt, take over Bishui City, drive Wan Guangcai away, and establish our own rule.”
San Gui nodded upon hearing this and said, “Yes, instead of venturing out and expanding in the wilderness, we can do it right here. Who will reign in the end is still uncertain.”
Gui Lang looked at them and said, “You two aren’t drunk too, are you? This is no joking matter.” But inside, he was overjoyed. It seed his efforts to win over Er Gui and San Gui were paying off. He had worked hard to align with them and had managed to secure their alliance.
Er Gui waved off the accusation, “There’s no joke. We’ve done so much for the No. One Heroes. Without us, they wouldn’t have achieved present success. Yang Jing only rembers the importance of Shi Mu, forgetting our contributions in the face of adversity. If we’re deed useless, we’re discarded to this godforsaken place. The damn Wan Guangcai, without any rits or abilities, could beco the Lord of Bishui City. Are his contributions greater than ours? On what basis?”
As these words were spoken, the room was tumultuous, and Haozi exclaid, “If things continue this way, we won’t have a place in No. One Heroes. Why don’t we seize this chaos to create our own world?”
A spark ignited the room’s atmosphere.
Er Gui cried out, “Gui Lang, brother, it’s you. Beco our leader. Together, we will create a realm of our own, starting with Bishui City.”
San Gui also began to shout, “Yes, we will create a realm for ourselves.”
Haozi also joined in, seemingly not wanting to follow in Jue Ming’s footsteps.
Gui Lang said, “I don’t think I’m qualified…”
“We have seen your capabilities, Gui Lang. You’re the one. Lead us, let’s start from here!” Er Gui was already excited.
Haozi yelled, “Don’t refuse. We will create a world for ourselves.”
“The opportunity is rare, during this deadlock, it is the best ti for us to establish our own sect,” added Er Gui.
“Gui Lang, don’t refuse. Let’s strive together,” Haozi said.
All eyes turned towards Gui Lang.
Gui Lang was delighted inside, although he didn’t show it. Having been the second-in-command and third-in-command for so long, he yearned to be the leader. This might be his only chance to lead.
“Don’t disappoint us!” pleaded Haozi.
“If you all truly wish so, I, Gui Lang, am willing to contribute my modest effort.”
“That’s fantastic. We won’t have to stay in this godforsaken Futu City any longer,” said Haozi.
“We can march toward Bishui City tomorrow. We will surely be able to take over Bishui City quickly,” San Gui suggested.
Gui Lang smiled faintly and said, “No need to rush. Yang Jing will never expect us to target Bishui City. We can take it over in three days. Let’s prepare well in the next two days. We will make our move after three days, ensuring a foolproof takeover of Bishui City.”
Er Gui and the others were all nodding in agreent.
Gui Lang had his plans. Spotting the inexperienced Wan Guangcai in charge of Bishui City’s defense, while Yang Jing would least expect it, these n were willing to trust him and join him in this endeavor.
Haozi said, “What’s so great about Wan Guangcai? Based on his abilities, he shouldn’t be controlling Bishui City. If you let
lead, I can take over Bishui City right away.”
They all had a good laugh.
“Since so many brothers are willing to trust , let’s go ahead. We’ll face any difficulty and share any fortune together. Let’s conquer Bishui City first,” Gui Lang said.
He didn’t expect to convince them so quickly.
Gui Lang was delighted.
They begin to prepare quietly, ready to make a move as soon as the opportunity arises in Bishui City.
anwhile, on Ghost City’s side, Ye Chen and his team were all set, waiting for Yang Jing to show up. All the movents were subtle, yet restless.
