Chapter 193 - 193 187 The Four Great Devils

?Chapter 193: Chapter 187: The Four Great Devils Chapter 193: Chapter 187: The Four Great Devils Ci Ye said, “Deal. We rescue our boss and the treasures we left in Ghost City will be yours. You can decide how to divide them.”

Er Gui was excited and said, “Sure, just let us know what we need to do.”

“I think there must be someone from the New City Sect in Ghost City who knows we’ve left. So, as soon as we’re out, they’ll know we’re heading there,” Ci Ye explained.

Da Gui nodded and said, “Their plan to get your boss back to Tianle City is not possible. It takes at least three days to travel from here to Tianle City.”

Ci Ye, however, was worried they might get reinforcements. He urgently asked, “Quickly, figure out which direction they’ve gone.”

Er Gui said, “They must be trying to get back to Tianle City as soon as possible.”

Calculating, Ci Ye reckoned he had at most two days to rescue Yang Jing. If he couldn’t do it in that time, the New City Sect would likely send help. Dealing with that would be difficult.

Ci Ye said, “There’s probably only two days left to rescue my boss. Even though they need three days to get to Tianle City, they will definitely inform the people there of what has happened here. If the people in Tianle City learn of this, they will send aid. We might end up dealing with more than four hundred people.”

Da Gui reassured, “We’ll find them as soon as possible. Don’t worry, Ci Ye.” Money talked, and they also had a grudge against the New City Sect.

An hour later, they were surprised that the Winged Dragon, which was released to search, couldn’t find anyone from the New City Sect on the way back to Tianle City.

Er Gui was equally shocked, saying, “This is impossible. The ashes here are still smoldering. They must have left this morning at the earliest. How could they have moved so quickly? It’s impossible.”

San Gui said, “So where did they go?”

Da Gui was also surprised, saying, “Could it be, they didn’t return to Tianle City?”

Er Gui, curious, questioned quickly, “If they didn’t go back to Tianle City then where did they go? Their mansions are in Tianle City. They surely wouldn’t go back to Wasteland City, as they just moved from there to Tianle City. Besides, to go to Wasteland City, they have to pass through Tianle City!”

“So these bastards are hiding and playing games with us,” offered San Gui.

“Damn it, stop playing games,” replied Er Gui.

“There’s no way they could’ve run so fast,” Ci Ye said.

Ci Ye became tense. Time was of the essence, and he knew he didn’t have much left, he had to find them quickly. But where had they gone?

“Could they really have not returned to Tianle City?” Da Gui questioned.

“Could they be hiding and sneaking back to Ghost City without us knowing?” asked San Gui.

Er Gui let out a cold laugh, “That’s impossible. If they returned to Ghost City, with so many people, we would have discovered them by now.”

Another hour passed.

Suddenly, a man ran over and reported, “Some people saw a group heading towards Centipede Mountain.”

San Gui looked stunned, “To Centipede Mountain, don’t they know there are monsters there?”

Er Gui muttered, “What are they thinking! Trying to prove they’re braver than us?”

Ci Ye asked, “Are you sure they headed towards Centipede Mountain?”

“I have sent the Winged Dragon. We should know the truth within an hour.”

Da Gui sounded doubtful, “What on earth are they doing heading towards Centipede Mountain?”

“Yeah, those fools. There are better routes to take. Why venture towards Centipede Mountain. Do they find it thrilling?” San Gui said.

Ci Ye anxiously waited. He knew the route through Centipede Mountain was precarious.

Er Gui added, “Heading to Centipede Mountain, they’re just causing trouble for themselves! It’s a detour, and they could encounter monsters at any time.”

Ci Ye said, “Maybe they chose Centipede Mountain hoping to lose us in its wild forest.” He knew it was a wilderness.

Da Gui nodded, “Indeed, there’s a wild forest in Centipede Mountain. The route would be difficult.”

In an hour, they confirmed that the people from the New City Sect indeed headed towards Centipede Mountain.

“These guys, are they really trying to upset us?” Er Gui complained.

San Gui reassured, “Don’t worry. As long as we know their position, we can get them. They can’t escape.”

Da Gui wondered, “But what if they split up?”

Ci Ye looked at Da Gui, nodding. In Centipede Mountain, it differed from the plains. Hundreds of people moving on open ground could easily be discovered from the sky. But in the Centipede Mountain, that was not the case.

Ci Ye urgently stated, “Quickly, find out whether they split up. And how many they are. Is our boss among them?”

His disciples hurried off.

They had now entered Centipede Mountain, an unpopulated wilderness covered by dense forest. It felt gloomy and foreboding, despite the large party. This looked like the perfect place for a game of beauty and the beast.

Ye Chen nudged Ling’er, saying, “This place suits you. Perfect for you to play ‘jungle pranks’.”

Ling’er, who’s been pulling at the mosquito net, pushed him away and retorted, “I think it suits you better!”

Ye Chen asked, “Can Mo, what kind of monsters are there in this mountain?”

Can Mo shook his head and said, “We really want to find out. It’s been rumored for ages.”

“No one has come to investigate it?”

“There were people who came, but half of them died. So it was put aside.”

“Half of them died, what do you mean?”

Ling’er snorted coldly, “Are you scared now?”

Ye Chen retorted, “If you weren’t scared, why would I be?”

“If you’re scared, just say it, nobody will laugh at you.”

“That’s what I should be saying to you.”

A disciple suddenly rushed over and said, “We’ve been discovered by them.”

“So soon.” Ye Chen thought they could hold out for another four hours.

Li Mo asked, “What should we do?”

“Lead them into the mountains and play a game of hide-and-seek with the monsters,” Ye Chen said without having any better suggestions.

Li Mo said, “Circling won’t completely solve the problem. We are accompanied by Yang Jing and a group of people, which makes our movement slow. It’s hard to shake them off. If they discover us, it would be easy for them to catch up.”

Ye Chen knew this indeed. He took out a map from his pocket, looked at the mountain range, and said, “Yes, it is difficult to get rid of them through these vines. But we can make use of the vines, the forests, and the terrain here.”

Ling’er asked with doubt, “To do what?”

“Is the middle part of the mountain below us covered with particularly gloomy and difficult to navigate woods?”

Ling’er said, “It’s more than just gloomy and hard to navigate, it also smells terrible.”

“Terrible smell, good.” Ye Chen continued, “Deploy people to set up traps below, install as many as possible.”

“You want to use the traps to block them?”

“I don’t know if it can block them. I only know we must do something rather than staring at them as they approach,” Ye Chen said.

“I don’t think it will be very effective.”

Ye Chen said, “But we still have to proceed step by step, slowly finding a way out.”

“I think it would be better to give them a good fight and catch them off guard.” Ling’er said with disagreement.

“Yes, it’s a good suggestion. It sounds like we need to surround their eight hundred men with our four hundred. All this while guarding the captured ones.”

“Catch them unprepared.”

“What if we lose?”

“Of course, there are victories and defeats, nothing is guaranteed.”

“You’re right, nothing is a hundred percent. But did you consider the consequences if we’re not successful?”

“What consequences?”

“We would then be closely tailgated by them. At that point, with more of their people than ours, we’re bound to be tangled up, and it’ll be hard to break free. Can you run then?”

Ling’er didn’t speak after hearing this.

“They are not fools; they won’t let us surround them so easily, especially when we only have half the number of fighters as them. Are we dreaming?”

“So you plan to scare them off with a few traps?”

“I don’t know if I can scare them off, but it will at least instill fear in them. They will worry about where the next traps might be, and that will slow them down.”

“You’re treating symptoms, not the cause. You think you’re always right, don’t you?” Ling’er said coldly.

“I wouldn’t dare say that, but I want to be cautious. But you should trust your future husband.” Ye Chen quickly said to Can Mo, “Go set up the traps and keep an eye on them. Come back to me with updates on their positions.”

Can Mo and Li Mo quickly left.

Ling’er’s eyes were fixed on him.

“What’s up, did I do something wrong again?”

“You really think you’re the Sect Leader.”

“Well, that’s inevitable.”

“You won’t be in the spotlight for long.”

“Then I’ll enjoy these few days being a king.”

Wei Sisan also never thought that such a thing would happen in Ghost City.

“I never expected that Ye Chen and his associates would capture Yang Jing.” Kong Sha was also worried, saying, “How did the four devils team up with Ci Ye?”

One of his assistants behind him said, “Money can make the devil turn mill.”

“They have more than twice the number of people than Ye Chen does, we have to send people there to help.” Kong Sha said puzzled, “Why did they run to Centipede Mountain? Don’t they know there are monsters there and the journey is difficult?”

“They want to use the Centipede Mountain to shake them off.”

“Can they shake them off?”

“Quickly send two hundred people to Centipede Mountain to meet them.”

“Alright, but I don’t know when they can get out of Centipede Mountain and whether we can make it in time. And we don’t know where they will emerge.” He had been to Centipede Mountain once and knew the paths were difficult and the terrain complex.

“That’s quite the gamble.”

“Why don’t they just come back quickly?”

“Carrying Yang Jing, they probably can’t move faster than the four devils. They’re also worried that we can’t make it to provide assistance.”

“Can Mo couldn’t have come up with this idea.”

“Let’s just wait and see.”

“I’m going to get some men to assist them now.”
