?Chapter 156: Chapter 151: Pretense Chapter 156: Chapter 151: Pretense “I didn’t know that you liked that type of thing.”
Ye Chen thought for a moment, if Xiao Bai and the others could rush over, what would he need to worry about? Feeling increasingly tired, he decided to take a nap.
The Red Demonic Spirit was still reminiscing and said, “Why are you so determined to recognize a sister? This world doesn’t need that many sisters.”
“It’s my first time recognizing someone as my sister.”
“You’re doing this on purpose to oppose me.”
Wei Sisan agreed with them and decided to break the deadlock.
Zheng Yibai suggested, “We can head towards Tianle City. If they are coming to meet us, we will definitely bump into them halfway. If they aren’t, we can go to Tianle City ourselves.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan concurred. Next, they needed to determine which direction to break through from and soon settled on two possibilities which were more or less the same.
Zheng Yibai stated, “We should feign a breakout from the left, and then actually break through from the right. I will lead the feint, while the Sect Leader leads everyone to break through from the right.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan shook his head, “No, no, no. I will feign the breakout from the left, and you will actually break through from the right.”
When Zheng Yibai heard this, he became anxious. He knew that the enemy would focus on Wei Sisan. He said worriedly, “No, their target is you, Sect Leader. They want to kill the Sect Leader, so you must leave.”
However, Wei Sisan insisted, “Indeed, because I am their target, I will draw them away. Only then can you break through from the right, and it’ll be easier.”
“That’s too dangerous, what if you get trapped?”
“Don’t worry. Once you break through, I will quickly follow. Let’s do it this way. Stop worrying. I will pretend to break through from the left. When I draw their attention, you seize the opportunity to break through. I will quickly follow. We can’t afford to waste time or allow them to see through our intentions.” Even though they were prepared to break through, it wasn’t a surefire solution. With so many men in black, it wouldn’t necessarily be successful. However, they couldn’t afford to delay. The encirclement was shrinking, making their situation increasingly difficult.
Zheng Yibai hurriedly said, “You guys must protect the Sect Leader, understand?” Having failed to persuade the Sect Leader, this was the only thing he could do.
The others nodded in agreement and quickly prepared.
Suddenly, they changed their formation. A large group of them attacked from the left under the leadership of Wei Sisan.
Gui Lang was surprised. He had thought they were simply defending and waiting for rescue. One of his men reported, “No good! Wei Sisan is trying to break out from the left. They aim to breach our encirclement.”
Someone wondered, “It seems like they’re not waiting for Xiao Bai’s team. They’re trying to break out themselves.”
Gua Zhengnie asked, “So it’s really Wei Sisan leading the breakout from the left?”
“Yes, we saw it ourselves. It’s definitely Wei Sisan, and they’re coming on strong.”
Gua Zhengnie sneered, “Well, well. You really think I set up this encirclement just so you could easily break out whenever you want? Since you’re discarding your shell, let’s see how you manage.”
Gua Zhengnie only had Wei Sisan in his sights. All he wanted was to kill Wei Sisan. If Wei Sisan died, all problems would be resolved.
Jue Ming speculated, “Could this be part of their plan? Pretending to break out from here?”
“Probably not? After all, Wei Sisan is leading the team.” Gui Lang said.
“Regardless, Gui Lang, make sure to surround them. Hold them steady. No matter what tricks they’re up to, don’t let them break out.” Gua Zhengnie then headed towards the left with Jue Ming. All he could see was Wei Sisan. All he wanted was to kill Wei Sisan.
Ye Chen was sleeping peacefully. He was suddenly hit by a wave of fatigue and, just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard the battle cries from the valley below growing louder. Thinking that Wei Sisan’s reinforcements had arrived, he quickly rushed over. Day was starting to break, but the valley was shrouded in a heavy fog.
Wanting to know what was going on, Ye Chen noticed that the encircling forces were changing their formation. He exclaimed, “They’re trying to break out! They want to fight their way out!”
The Red Demonic Spirit also noticed.
The most ruthless person in the fight below was undoubtedly Wei Sisan. He was leading his team to break out from the left, drawing most of the men in black to his side.
The Red Demonic Spirit laughed coldly, “Ha, Wei Sisan seems not that clever. Doesn’t he know the men in black primarily target him? Why is he insisting on this hard battle? He’s asking for trouble.”
Ye Chen noticed too. Indeed, many of the men in black were drawn to the left. However, he soon expressed doubt, “Do you think Wei Sisan is pretending to break out from the left to deliberately lure the men in black there? Their ultimate goal might be to break out from the right.”
The Red Demonic Spirit looked and was silent for a moment. There were only two paths in the valley. Breaking out from the sides was particularly difficult and dangerous, especially as the men in black outnumbered them. It would be tough to break out easily. So there were only the paths at the front and back left.
“They must be doing that. Wei Sisan is not stupid. He just wants to lead those people away. The real breakout point should be on the right. It’s not him who’s stupid, it’s you.” Ye Chen was quite sure that this was Wei Sisan’s plan.
The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled coldly again, “You think you can guess their plan, and the men in black can’t?”
Ye Chen glanced around and said, “But for now, those black-clothed men have indeed been lured away by him. The two who are best at martial arts have followed Wei Sisan. Clearly, they have succeeded.” He seemed to have figured out a plan all at once.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to help, of course. We need to assist them. This time, we need to make a name for ourselves.”
“Reputation is worthless, not worth a dime, don’t get yourself involved.”
“With reputation, beautiful women will follow, and you don’t like beautiful women.” Ye Chen said carefully as he prepared to help them break out from the right flank.
“Don’t fool me, following you will only lead to watching.”
“Well, watching is something, think about it, you don’t even have a physical body, what can you do, give a woman to you, what can you do.”
“Are you belittling me?”
“No, I’m just thinking, if you really fall in love, but can only watch, what then? Wouldn’t it be a waste and a torture to yourself?”
“You…”
“I’m just curious, not mocking you. Hurry, we have to save people.” Ye Chen was still laughing.
Ye Chen decided to head to the right. He believed that Wei Sisan’s crew must be trying to break out from the right. He said, “Look, Zheng Yibai hasn’t shown up, it’s clear that Zheng Yibai is in charge of the breakout from the right side.”
Red Demonic Spirit occasionally emerged from his body. Ye Chen said, “Wait until I make a name for myself, then find a way to gain a body. By then, you’ll be able to live properly, so you must put in your best effort. If I don’t have the ability, I won’t be able to help you in the future.”
“Heh, don’t think you can deceive me, I don’t believe it.”
Wei Sisan did manage to draw over the two best martial artists. Now, most people have their eyes on him. He couldn’t back down. He had to make the black-clothed men believe he was trying to break out from here. Only then could he create an opportunity for the upcoming Zheng Yibai.
After all, there were too many black-clothed men. It wasn’t easy to fool them. He had to take the risk, while his disciples still had the energy, to make it seem like he was trying to escape through here.
Wei Sisan’s skills were still intact, so he could fight back fiercely, killing them with pleasure.
Initially, Gua Zhengnie had some doubts, worried that Wei Sisan was putting on an act. But seeing how sincere Wei Sisan seemed, he quickly believed him and brought over more people. He couldn’t let Wei Sisan escape.
“You want to kill me? It’s not that easy.” The powerful energy was like a series of violent waves, forcing Gua Zhengnie to keep retreating.
Gua Zhengnie murmured, “I wonder how long you, old man, can hold on. You’re just a sickly plant.”
However, Wei Sisan knew that the more black-clothed men were drawn over to this side, the greater the chance of breaking through the encirclement. Therefore, he could only fight on fiercely.
Ye Chen had already circled around to the right side and retracted the Red Demonic Spirit. He was waiting. The right side did indeed have fewer people now. Although it wasn’t possible for everyone to be lured away, relatively speaking, it should be easier. If the New City Sect’s people attacked from this side with his help and catching the right timing, they could definitely make a breakthrough.
Red Demonic Spirit said, “Why do you, a guy like you, have to help them, risking your life?”
“Didn’t I say it! Doing something good, making a name for ourselves.”
The Red Demonic Spirit sneered, “Aren’t you afraid of being trapped in the middle?”
Ye Chen thought for a while and said, “All people will die eventually. If I can help the New City Sect, the representative of justice in the Wastelands, even if I do die, it’ll be worth it, right?”
“Bullshit, representative of the Wastelands.”
“Why do you always look down on the New City Sect?”
“I think they’re all the same, all selfish. Talking about being the representative of justice, it’s all for themselves.”
“Maybe you’re right, but why bother learning all these martial arts if I’m not going to use them.”
“Ah, I can never convince you.”
“Then let’s not say anything, everything will pass.” Ye Chen stared straight ahead.
“You’re still thinking about going back to the Central Plains to take revenge for your father. In your life, it’s not just about your father. There are more important things.”
“I think what’s happening right now is quite important.”
Just as they were talking, a volcano-like fight suddenly erupted below. It was indeed Zheng Yibai leading a large group of people, breaking out from the right side with even more momentum than Wei Sisan, who had charged from the left.
