Chapter 155 - 155 150 Zheng Yibais Doubt
?Chapter 155: Chapter 150: Zheng Yibai’s Doubt Chapter 155: Chapter 150: Zheng Yibai’s Doubt The Red Demonic Spirit seemed somewhat passive, but Ye Chen was extremely worried about the people below. He wanted to take a good look at the crowd below and see how they were surrounded. Only by understanding their plans could he figure out a way to help the people from the New City Sect.
“This Wei Sisan, he’s usually very cautious. How did he fall into someone else’s trap?” Ye Chen said.
“Even the most cautious people have moments of confusion. It’s hard to say how many people get confused when the New City Sect was established,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.
“If we don’t help them, it will be hard for the people of the New City Sect to escape.”
“If that’s the case, let’s go back to the inn.”
Ye Chen gave a cold smile.
“If you don’t go back, I’m going on my own.”
“Stop dreaming. If you want to go back, you’ll need my approval. You can’t damage my reputation,” Ye Chen said.
“You’re the one who wants to get involved in this mess, I can’t refuse. But don’t drag me down with you.”
“Hurry up, we have to go down.” Ye Chen grabbed the Red Demonic Spirit and charged down.
“You’re not this excited when you’re getting married,” the Red Demonic Spirit complained.
“I’m young and vigorous. If I can successfully rescue Wei Sisan from the siege, I might be able to build a reputation for myself. I’m not going to miss this good opportunity.” Ye Chen was scheming. It’s such a great opportunity, like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
“You’re young, but I’m not. I don’t want to play this game with you.”
“Come on, let’s do the right thing for once in our lives.”
“The right thing to do in life should be done at the Feng Niang Inn, not here.”
“My master, stop dawdling and hurry up. Five years have passed, this is a rare opportunity.” He charged down into the darkness.
There was a fierce battle going on below with no distinction of directions. Sparks flew everywhere, and thick smoke rose up. Even though a large number of men in black were pressing down on them, the New City Sect disciples held firm. They did not panic due to the arrival of the massive force. They arranged themselves into a formation, which looked like a Giant Golden Bell cover or a tortoise shell, sheltering everyone within, while resisting the onslaught of the men in black.
However, the men in black were much too numerous, almost three times their numbers. Although this formation was good and very complete, it would ultimately be broken by the relentless wave of fearless men in black. So, a better strategy is needed.
Wei Sisan exchanged a few blows with a masked man and was gaining the upper hand when another man in black joined the fray. The newcomer did not waste time with words and attacked relentlessly, emanating an intense killing intent. He appeared more dangerous than the previous man in black, and his martial arts skills were higher.
“Who are you?” Wei Sisan asked.
“Ask the King of Hell when you get there.” This man was Gua Zhengnie.
It appears this man was keen on killing him.
An energy was blasted out, transforming into a black dragon. It came on like the collapse of a mountain and river, destroying rocks and boulders in its wake, proving unstoppable.
With powerful energy pouring down, Wei Sisan hurriedly exerted more energy to deal with the mask-wearing man with a heavy murderous intent.
He had never expected that so many people would want his life, Wei Sisan thought.
At this point, two men in black, each more ruthless than the other, joined forces. Especially the second man in black, who had a heavier killing intent.
Ever since Wei Sisan’s old illness recurred, his condition had gradually deteriorated.
Especially in the last two years, it has become increasingly apparent.
Facing continuous attacks from the two men, he was forced to retreat as more men in black surged forward.
Zheng Yibai rushed over to help, managing to save Wei Sisan from danger and retreated back to the formation.
Gua Zhengnie was temporarily blocked outside the “Golden Bell Cover”.
But this was only temporary. Gua Zhengnie stopped for a moment. Gui Lang came up and said, “Earth King, give me two hours, I guarantee to break this ghostly formation.”
“Alright.”
Gui Lang then led his men down, releasing the giant monsters, preparing to break the formation.
Of course, Gua Zhengnie knew how powerful Wei Sisan’s Tortoise Shell Formation was, but it would take some time.
Wei Sisan knew that this was only a temporary protection and not the ultimate solution. He knew that no matter how hard the shell was, a turtle still had to stick its head out.
Now their numbers were the greatest. Wei Sisan only had two options: to flee or to wait for reinforcements. That was it.
The men in black knew that although the shell was hard, if they wanted to break it, they would first have to wear it down by bombarding it until it was nearly shattered.
Gua Zhengnie had already considered their options for rescue. The nearest person who could possibly aid them was Xiao Bai. Help from the people in Wasteland City would take at least three days. And, in three days, everything would have already been over. The people from Jiang Zhuge’s side couldn’t come either…
The only person who could come was Xiao Bai. If they could find a way to delay him or prevent him from coming, they could finish off Wei Sisan for good.
At this point, Zheng Yibai became anxious. He hurriedly found Wei Sisan and said, “Sect Leader, we cannot place all our hopes on Xiao Bai. If anything unexpected happen and he isn’t able to make it, we could be annihilated here. The cost will be enormous, and even if we want to get out, it would be impossible.”
Placing so many lives in the hands of Xiao Bai was something Zheng Yibai was not comfortable with. After all, Xiao Bai had already caused some trouble by refusing to heed the summons after leaving Wasteland City. He felt worried about it, but chose to keep it to himself.
Someone then said, “Xiao Bai will surely lead people over to save us.”
Zheng Yibai retorted, “When we left Wasteland City, we already issued an order once. But Xiao Bai ignored it, and didn’t come to rescue Can Mo and the others. If this happens again, we will all die here.”
Some of the disciples completely agreed with Zheng Yibai. He was right, they should not just hand their lives over to someone else. That would be the most foolish.
Wei Sisan took a moment to calm down, as the men in black were attacking ferociously.
Zheng Yibai added with suspicion, “Who knows if these men in black have anything to do with Xiao Bai? We have no idea whether Xiao Bai even knows about this situation.”
Wei Sisan still refused to believe that Xiao Bai had any connections with the men in black.
Zheng Yibai persisted, “The Sect Leader gave the position of Vice Sect Leader to Jiang Zhuge. This must have upset Xiao Bai somewhat. I know the Sect Leader trusts Xiao Bai a lot, and doesn’t believe that he would do such a thing. But sometimes, we’d rather be too suspicious than not enough.”
Some of the disciples began to agree with Zheng Yibai even more. They called out, “Sect Leader, Zheng Yibai is right. We can’t entrust our lives to Xiao Bai.”
To break through, a price would indeed have to be paid. However, Wei Sisan couldn’t bring himself to believe that Xiao Bai would have any connection with these events.
“They’ve prepared for it all. All their preparations are for the purpose of killing the Sect Leader. We must find a way to escape.”
Zheng Yibai continued, “Sect Leader, you must think about the whole Wastelands. As the sky will only brighten up much later, let me lead the charge out.”
“Yes, Sect Leader, we shouldn’t entrust our lives to Xiao Bai, who behaves like a petulant child. As Uncle Zheng said, we should prepare for the worst. If Xiao Bai continues to act in his childish manner, we could all die here,” another disciple chimed in.
From above, Ye Chen watched as the people of the New City Sect focused only on defense, seemingly having no intention of breaking out. Even if he wanted to help them now, there was no way he could…
“Could these people be waiting for reinforcements?” Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Red Demonic Spirit sneered, “Getting anxious won’t help, they are clearly waiting for reinforcements.”
Ye Chen thought for a moment and then said, “In terms of reinforcements, the quickest people that could arrive would be Xiao Bai and his group from Tianle City.”
“Exactly, so stop worrying. They have many people, they won’t miss you. You’re really fancying yourself as a hero.”
Ye Chen thought again and said, “That’s not right. How could you entrust your life to others like this? I heard that Xiao Bai is currently in a dispute with them.”
“They have their own considerations. You really don’t need to rush for them,” Red Demonic Spirit retorted.
Ye Chen just smiled.
Red Demonic Spirit had already given up by this point. He was watching the sky. Even if they rushed back now, Feng Niang would already be awake.
“Still thinking about my sister?”
“Haha, do you plan on making any girl you like my sister in the future?”
“I’m considering it,” Ye Chen responded.
