Chapter 159 - 159 154 Plum Blossom Symbol

?Chapter 159: Chapter 154: Plum Blossom Symbol Chapter 159: Chapter 154: Plum Blossom Symbol Ye Chen curiously asked, “How did you know I know Feng Niang?”

“Because the plum flower insignia on your silk scarf was left by Feng Niang. Only she uses this kind of plum flower symbol.” Wei Sisan explained.

The Red Demonic Spirit seemed to dislike Wei Sisan, especially after hearing Feng Niang’s recount last night, he felt a particular aversion towards him.

“Are you Feng Niang’s husband? You’re so young?” Wei Sisan looked somewhat incredulous.

Ye Chen gave a faint smile, said, “Is that a problem? You’re falling behind if you still divide things into so many paths.”

Zheng Yibai said, “Sect Leader, we need to speed up.” The people behind them were getting closer, and he was afraid of being caught up once again.

Wei Sisan gave a nod upon hearing this, looking curious he asked again, “By the way, how is Feng Niang doing?”

“She’s fine, I will take good care of her.” Ye Chen decided not to offer any further explanation concerning the Red Demonic Spirit’s words. It felt unnecessary to explain in depth, and the Red Demonic Spirit was learning to mimic Ye Chen’s voice more and more accurately, becoming nearly identical.

“That’s good, take good care of her.”

“Of course, I am her husband, I will naturally take good care of her.” Ye Chen said, then feigned curiosity, asking, “By the way, do you know Feng Niang as well?” He was knowingly asking.

“Hehe, old friend, I knew her from before.”

“Really! How come you didn’t attend our wedding?” Ye Chen continued: “Surely it’s not because your status is too high, and look down on us right?”

“No, I’ve got too many things going on, and my health isn’t good. I often don’t have the time.”

“Hmm, next time in Feng Niang Inn, we will properly invite you again.”

Zheng Yibai added, “Feng Niang Inn is not very far from here.”

Wei Sisan immediately responded, “No, we can’t go to Feng Niang Inn.” As he spoke, he glanced towards the back nervously, fearing that the people in black will come and endanger the people of Feng Niang’s Inn.

Ye Chen glanced at Wei Sisan, understanding his intention, and also nodded, “We can’t go Feng Niang Inn, we can only head to your Tianle City.” He also seemed somewhat anxious, knowing that these people in black were not to be messed with.

Wei Sisan looked at Ye Chen and said, “I really thank you for your help.”

“Don’t mention it, since you’re a friend of Feng Niang, that makes you my friend too. It’s right for me to help you, otherwise Feng Niang would scold me.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan gave a faint smile, “We haven’t seen each other for many years now.”

“Oh, I haven’t heard Feng Niang mention you. Otherwise, I would have known she has a friend like you. I would have definitely paid you a visit.”

“Um, she doesn’t like to bring me up.”

Having heard this, Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

The people from behind have returned.

Zheng Yibai quickly asked, “How is it? Are they still following us?”

“Although we have managed to lose them for now and they wouldn’t catch up in time, they are still following behind us. They could catch up at any moment, we must leave here quickly.”

“Alright, you guys keep a good eye, and let us know their position at any time.”

The subordinate quickly departed. Wei Sisan coughed once. He hadn’t exerted such intense energy in many years. Coupled with the recurrence of his old illness, he felt somewhat breathless.

Zheng Yibai asked worriedly, “Sect Leader, how are you holding up?”

“I’m fine.”

Wei Sisan had sent a messenger pigeon last night. However, the one who received the message was Chen Jiu. Chen Jiu knew early on about Gua Zhengnie’s intent to kill Wei Sisan and he agreed, stating he’d find a way to prevent Xiao Bai from helping.

It turned out to be the distress signal from Wei Sisan’s group, but Chen Jiu decided to hide it. He felt that as long as he kept it secret, Wei Sisan was surely doomed. Gua Zhengnie had already prepared for everything.

Chen Jiu hid the letter and acted as though nothing had happened. As Chen Jiu was Xiao Bai’s right-hand man, and the messenger pigeons passed through his hands, he could easily hide the messages.

Gua Zhengnie asked, “Where did they run off to?”

“It should be in the direction of Tianle City.” Gui Lang said.

“We absolutely cannot let them reach Tianle City.” Gua Zhengnie then asked, “By the way, who exactly was that young man just now?”

“I don’t know, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his face covered, impossible to clearly see.”

Upon hearing this, Gua Zhengnie appeared puzzled. Among the Wastelands, there was such a young and powerful person.

Jue Ming said, “That kid’s martial arts skill is very high. Extremely powerful.”

Of course, Gua Zhengnie had taken notice.

Gui Lang said, “If they hadn’t suddenly attacked from behind, that damn Zheng Yibai would never have been able to break free from us. He definitely wouldn’t have been able to break free.” He was naturally afraid of being blamed by others.

“Don’t bother telling me this. My current goal is to prevent them from reaching Tianle City.” Gua Zhengnie said, right now he doesn’t have time to consider other things.

Gui Lang said, “I will send the Winged Dragon now, try to find a way to keep them occupied.” Having said this, he went down to make arrangements.

Jue Ming asked, “Will the Xiao Bai in Tianle City not come out?”

“Don’t worry, he should not come out, someone will help us.” Gua Zhengnie said.

Jue Ming, looking at the very confident Gua Zhengnie, believed his words and said, “As long as Xiao Bai doesn’t come out, it will be easy to deal with them directly.”

Gua Zhengnie couldn’t be too complacent, he said, “We mustn’t let them reach Tianle City.”

Jue Ming nodded, saying, “I’ll lead a group of men, rush over quickly, take advantage of the distraction caused by the Winged Dragon and find a way to stop them from reaching Tianle City.”

“Good, go.”

Gua Zhengnie had no better plan.

As Gua Zhengnie executed his plan, another person learned of it, this person was Yuan Menhai, Sect Leader of the Sky Domain Sect, he had been watching Wei Sisan’s movements.

Ming Bei, the second-in-command of Sky Domain Sect sprinted back in, saying, “A teen appeared from nowhere and battled his way through, freeing Wei Sisan and his group from the encirclement.”

The third commander, Jiu Yiren, after hearing this asked, “Did they escape?”

“Yes, they’ve escaped from the encirclement.”

Yuan Menhai asked, “Where did they escape to?”

“Tianle City.”

Jiu Yiren said, “We can’t let them escape to Tianle City. If they make it to Tianle City, it will be game over.”

Yuan Menhai said, “Indeed, it appears Gua Zhengnie can’t even handle a mere Wei Sisan. What an incompetent fool.”

“If Wei Sisan reaches Tianle City, all our plans will go down the drain.”

Ming Bei suggested, “Sect Leader, we should aid Gua Zhengnie. If we don’t assist, I fear Wei Sisan might actually escape.”

Yuan Menhai remembered how ruthless Wei Sisan was years ago, killing his own father right in front of him. That cold-blooded scene was still fresh in his memory.

These dozens of years he had spent in hiding, mastering his martial arts skills were all for the day he could face Wei Sisan and seek revenge.

Jiu Yiren offered, “Let me go, I can stop them. I won’t let them reach Tianle City.”

Yuan Menhai, appearing much more composed, declared, “I will go.”

“With the Sect Leader going, Wei Sisan will definitely not escape.”

The men in black who had been pursuing them had chased them for a full day. Zheng Yibai thought of several ways to shake them off, but there were too many of them, and they had released the Winged Dragon which slowed down their speed.

Some began to worry, they were getting closer and closer to Tianle City, yet there was still no sign of Xiao Bai’s men. If Xiao Bai had received the message and deployed men, they would have met by now. But there was no sign of Xiao Bai and his men. One person finally surmised, “Sect Leader, I think Xiao Bai doesn’t want to save us. If he wanted to save us, we would have met by now. But he hasn’t dispatched anyone, it’s clear that Xiao Bai…”

“Luckily, we did not stay put, waiting to be saved, or we would all be dead by now.” a subordinate interjected.

Another added, “I never thought Xiao Bai could be this heartless. It’s just the position of Vice Sect Leader, he is oblivious to our danger, wanting us all dead.”

“Maybe he doesn’t want to save us, wants us to die on the journey.” another voiced angrily.

“It looks like he’s made up his mind to turn a blind eye.”

During this time, Wei Sisan had his own internal turmoil to deal with- he remained silent.

However, someone boldly speculated, “I’m saying, he must be in cahoots with these men dressed in black from the start, knew that the plan to deal with Can Mo was a ruse, the true intention was to lure the Sect Leader out. He knew there was an ambush to kill the Sect Leader, so he didn’t come out, letting our Sect Leader fall into the trap. Knowing we’re now stuck, he has even lesser intention to rescue us.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yibai called out, “Hey, don’t sprout nonsense!”- he saw Wei Sisan’s pained expression.

“Nonsense? All this is within reason. Obviously, it was all planned beforehand, he let the others arrange everything.”

Xiao Bai blatantly disobeyed orders, luring Wei Sisan into a trap. Xiao Bai did not come to rescue, how could this not raise suspicions?

Wei Sisan began to harbor the same doubts. Was all of this true? Did Xiao Bai really know from the start!?

Another interjected, “It’s definitely for the Sect Leader’s position. He resents the Sect Leader, that’s why he would do this.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

If this were true, Wei Sisan would be thoroughly disappointed in Xiao Bai.

Ye Chen was eavesdropping on their conversation from the side.

Zheng Yibai dared not say much, at this moment, time is critical. In a few hours, they would reach Tianle City.

Wei Sisan wanted to reach Tianle City to understand Xiao Bai’s intentions properly.

Nightfall was quick.

Wei Sisan looked back at his exhausted disciples, saying, “Rest here for now. After an hour, we continue onwards.”

Ye Chen lay on the ground. The wind lifted the scarf from his face, revealing it to Zheng Yibai.

Zheng Yibai said, “So it’s you, kid.” Zheng Yibai had helped Ling’er search for him in Wasteland City before.

Ye Chen reached to retrieve his scarf, intending to cover his face again, but he was already recognized.

Wei Sisan was surprised; even though he too saw Ye Chen’s face, he asked with confusion, “Zheng Yibai, you know him?”

Zheng Yibai replied, “It’s the young man Ling’er has been looking for.”

“The young man Ling’er has been looking for.” Wei Sisan echoed, puzzled, muttering, “the one who came into our courtyard!”

Ye Chen immediately panicked; he turned and asked, “You’re not going to take me back to Wasteland City, right?”

“Are you the child who saved Ling’er four years ago?” Wei Sisan asked.
