Chapter 148 - 148 143 The Intention to Kill Wei Sisan
?Chapter 148: Chapter 143: The Intention to Kill Wei Sisan Chapter 148: Chapter 143: The Intention to Kill Wei Sisan Ci Ye fell silent for a moment, then spoke, “Gua Zhengnie doesn’t want us to get into trouble because without us, they have no way to deal with Wei Sisan themselves. They need our help. Otherwise, they can’t handle Wei Sisan. Right now, they need assistance, so they won’t let anything happen to us.”
You Dao found this plausible.
Yang Jing added, “We’ve been targeted by Wei Sisan’s people for several years now. I believe you all have been feeling particularly aggrieved during these years. If the New City Sect continues to grow stronger, we will have no space to survive. Sooner or later, we will be wiped out by them. To survive, we must join forces with Gua Zhengnie and fight against the New City Sect.”
You Dao finally understood and said, “Indeed, they are after us now. It seems like, in the entire Wastelands, we are the worst. I am a bit fed up with this.”
“Exactly, I think it’s not just us who can’t stand it, many others can’t either. So if you want to survive, you can’t let the New City Sect grow stronger. Ideally, we will annihilate the New City Sect. If that’s not possible, at least we can incite division amongst them.”
“But do we have the capability to do so?”
“Let’s see. We will seize the opportunity if there is one. If not, we’ll figure that out later.” Yang Jing saw this as a good opportunity.
Ci Ye said, “Given the trouble Wei Sisan has stirred up recently, I believe Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu must be thoroughly disgusted with them. These two truly want to deal with the New City Sect. Look, weren’t there recent problems in Ghost City?”
“Yes, indeed, so we should seize the opportunity.”
“But can we deal with Can Mo and his people?”
“I have considered this, and I think it’s possible. I can’t believe that Can Mo’s group is so determined to join the New City Sect.”
Gua Zhengnie’s intention is to deliver a harsh blow to Can Mo, to let the people of the Wastelands know that joining the New City Sect would mean no good outcome. That’s his goal.
Ci Ye said, “Taking on Can Mo is indeed a good strategy. It could truly undermine the New City Sect. If we could really force Can Mo to abandon the New City Sect, it would be the best way to strike at them.”
“But I feel the New City Sect won’t sit by and do nothing,” You Dao said.
Yang Jing nodded upon hearing this and said, “Yes, Gua Zhengnie said he’d send people to help us when the time comes.”
“Will he personally step in?”
“Possibly, he probably doesn’t want to see us get into trouble either. He should keep his word, it does not benefit them if we get wiped out.” Yang Jing was quite sure about this.
“Boss, you trust him that much.”
“We can trust him for now since they do hate the New City Sect deeply. The New City Sect has been tricking them around like fools, they really want to challenge the New City Sect, and we can help them. They must know that we can’t totally take on the New City Sect ourselves. So, they must pitch in.”
You Dao nodded and said, “Well, if the boss has decided, then there’s nothing more to say.”
Yang Jing said, “Alright, Ci Ye, show me where Can Mo’s people have reached now.”
Ci Ye nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye on them. They should pass through here tomorrow.”
“Good, we can’t let them return to Wasteland City.”
“Understood.”
“Report back to me promptly if there are any changes.”
Yang Jing seriously pondered for a moment. The rise of the New City Sect was indeed unfavorable to them. Presently, in the entire Wastelands, the New City Sect was only targeting the No. One Thieves, which was distressing. Previously, the disruptions caused by small-time thieves would scatter their attention, but now they have been basically wiped out, leaving the New City Sect’s attention solely on them. This has been difficult for them to adjust to. Some of their members even complained about the possibility of leaving the Wastelands. But this could be an opportunity for a turnaround.
You Dao said, “This New City Sect is really going too far, leaving us with no way out.”
Ci Ye responded, “If left unchecked, the New City Sect, when free, will surely target us first. We should seize this opportunity to strike at the New City Sect.”
“Yes, right.”
Ci Ye added, “Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu can’t tolerate the New City Sect either. They don’t want the New City Sect to grow stronger either. It’s too disadvantageous for them. If this continues, there will be no place for them in the Wastelands.”
For Yang Jing, the trouble stirred up by Tong Hegan on the other side gave him a little more confidence.
…
News of Can Mo being ambushed by the No. One Thieves quickly made its way back to Wasteland City.
The ambush on Can Mo took Wei Sisan by surprise. It was an attack from the No. One Thieves.
Kong Sha said, “I see, all of this is targeted at our New City Sect.”
Wei Sisan, of course, saw this coming.
The attack on Can Mo was clearly a deterrent to others who might join the New City Sect. Something must be done.
Zheng Yibai, who was standing nearby, said, “They attacked Can Mo to show the people of Wastelands that anyone daring to join us will have to face them. We must go and rescue him.”
Kong Sha said, “I don’t know if they can handle it themselves.”
Wei Sisan stated, “We don’t know how many of them there are yet, but we must help them.”
Kong Sha further added, “They wouldn’t be destroyed so easily.”
Zheng Yibai uttered, “If the people from No. One Thieves are already dealing with Can Mo, that means the No. One Thieves’ appearance in Tianle City is a hoax. We can send Xiao Bai and his group to rescue Can Mo.”
After hearing this, Kong Sha said, “Right, we can tell Xiao Bai and let them go over. They should be able to do it.”
Wei Sisan nodded and said, “Okay, let’s inform Xiao Bai quickly to assist.”
After hearing this, Kong Sha nodded.
Zheng Yibai spoke, “It’s becoming more and more chaotic now, do they still have a backup plan?” He sounded somewhat worried.
Kong Sha also expressed his worry, “Yeah, everything right now is clearly aimed at us. It’s highly likely that they have other plans waiting for us.”
Zheng Yibai voiced his conjecture, “Considering the various troubles they’ve created, Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu definitely had a hand in them. These two miscreants must have made arrangements with the No. One Thieves and Tong Hegan.”
Wei Sisan articulated, “Regardless of whether they’ve been plotting together, we should first find a way to deal with these two. As for the rest, we’ll ignore them for now.”
They sent a messenger pigeon to Xiao Bai.
Gua Zhengnie had already heard about Jiang Zhuge becoming the Vice Sect Leader. He also heard that Xiao Baiyin was greatly affected by this incident. At that moment, Yang Jing of the No. One Thieves, according to his plan, intercepted Can Mo and his group halfway to carry out his attack.
Gua Zhengnie summoned Elder Xi Feng and Gui Lang to discuss the matter thoroughly.
Zun Yu had already deployed Tong Hegan, at least effectively restraining Jiang Zhuge and his group on the Ghost City side. It would be hard for them to retreat and return promptly.
At present, Yang Jing of the No. One Thieves has got Can Mo hemmed in tightly.
Gua Zhengnie asked, “What do you think the members of the New City Sect will do?”
Elder Xi Feng said, “They will surely send people to rescue Can Mo.”
Gua Zhengnie replied, “Send people? But Jiang Zhuge and his group are already on the Ghost City’s side. For a while, they will not be able to rush back. At least after a period, they could settle the matters on the Ghost City’s side.”
“Then surely Xiao Bai will have to rush over to help. As far as I know, Xiao Bai is in Tianle City, which isn’t too far away.” Elder Xi Feng said.
Yet Gui Lang said, “I heard a few days ago that Wei Sisan gave the position of Vice Sect Leader of the New City Sect to Jiang Zhuge. Xiao Bai has always considered himself as the rightful person for the position of Vice Sect Leader. I heard he was quite displeased and took a big hit, extremely unwilling. The people below have voiced various complaints, all expressing discontent with Wei Sisan.”
Gua Zhengnie nodded.
Gui Lang continued, “Leader, don’t you know Chen Jiu? Chen Jiu is Xiao Bai’s trusted subordinate, if you let him influence them to not cooperate, isn’t that better? Let them not allow Xiao Bai to help.”
Gua Zhengnie gave Gui Lang a glance.
Elder Xi Feng said, “If Xiao Bai does not offer his aid, then Kong Sha on our side must do it.”
Gua Zhengnie said, “I’m afraid Kong Sha may not have the capacity.” This time he brought out not only the No. One Thieves to attack Can Mo, but he also involved a messy mix of people—an uncountable number of them. He pretty much brought out all his resources that he had over the years in the Wastelands, even if Kong Sha goes he might find it hard to solve.
“Then Wei Sisan would have to go save Can Mo himself.” Elder Xi Feng said.
Gui Lang stated, “If Wei Sisan leaves, then we can carefully plan and see if we can kill this Wei Sisan.”
Hearing this, Gua Zhengnie couldn’t believe that idea came from Gui Lang. He asked, “Killed Wei Sisan?”
“Yes, if we can really kill Wei Sisan, the New City Sect would definitely be greatly affected. Since they no longer care about our relationship, why should we consider them.”
Gui Lang continued, “If we could really kill Wei Sisan, then the New City Sect would be like a dragon without a head. I just don’t believe that that scholar Jiang Zhuge could keep them in check. Besides, Xiao Bai now is discontent with him being the Vice Sect Leader, they are destined for chaos.”
As soon as these words came out, Gua Zhengnie thought it over and felt it was a seriously workable plan. If this were to really happen, it would drastically change the situation. If Wei Sisan were to die, the newly established New City Sect would surely split, even if they don’t, they would be greatly affected.
Gui Lang added, “If Wei Sisan dies, and Xiao Bai and Jiang Zhuge cannot hold it together, especially Xiao Bai, who definitely won’t accept Jiang Zhuge’s position, New City would be finished as long as he does not accept Jiang Zhuge.”
Gua Zhengnie, having heard this, suddenly realized this was a golden opportunity, and asked, “Elder Xi Feng, do you think this idea is feasible?”
“If the Earth King really decides to do this.”
“I just want to ask you, what would happen if that old thing Wei Sisan died?”
“The New City Sect would definitely be hit hard; it would be like a dragon without a head.” Elder Xi Feng said.
“Okay, let’s proceed this way.”
