Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Ambush? Then Let’s Dig a Trap and Wait!
“Alright! Stop arguing, now that I’ve gathered you here, it’s not to listen to you bicker. I’ve called you over to discuss how to solve the problem!”
At the top seat, a man with a square face shouted at the crowd below, and the scene instantly fell silent!
This was the bandit leader, Bai Shuo!
Three hundred years ago, he began to rise in the Immortal Domain, then drifted to the Chaotic Zone, gradually gathering a group of desperados!
Later, by chance, when Qingyuan Sect dissolved, he seized the main peak of Qingyuan Sect headquarters and the surrounding area spanning hundreds of miles.
The other sects in the Immortal Domain similarly coveted Qingyuan Sect’s legacy, but due to concerns about mutual conflict, none acted against Bai Shuo and his men.
This formed a subtle balance, invisibly!
For hundreds of years, apart from Jiang Yingda’s occasional attacks on the bandit hideout, the other sects took no action, allowing Bai Shuo to bring and grow his followers.
Now, in the bandit group, there are also two strong Nascent Soul Realm experts and over a dozen Golden Core Realm experts.
Such power, even placed in the Southern Immortal Domain, is quite formidable, even stronger than many small sects.
“Leader, if the news is true and Ye Fan really becomes the Qingyuan Sect Master, we are surely no match. Why don’t we surrender?”
“Yeah! Surrender and lose half! We’ve had enough of these years of hiding, if we surrender and hand over the Qingyuan Sect territory, and affiliate under Qingyuan Sect, we’ll count as sect members, and our future won’t be bad!”
“Exactly! Third in command is right!”
“I also agree, this is originally Qingyuan Sect’s territory. Handing it over is merely a convenient act.”
Quite a few on site surprisingly expressed agreement to surrender!
“Hypocritical nonsense! Third in command, haven’t fought for a while, are you afraid now? How can we have a good life by surrendering? Joining Qingyuan Sect, do you think you can still be as free as now?”
“Let me tell you, those sects have tons of rules! This girl you can’t touch, that rich family you can’t rob! If you make a mistake, you get punished. Do you think the boys can stand it?”
A scruffy-looking, skinny man stood up in the crowd and shouted.
“Can’t stand it! I disagree with surrender!”
“I also disagree with surrender, I can’t stand those useless rules!”
“Second in command is right, if we surrender so easily, people will look down on us!”
The one agreeing to surrender is the third in command, while the one opposing is the second in command!
Instantly, the second in command, third in command, and fourth in command formed three factions on site!
One faction insisted on surrender, another opposed, while the fourth in command’s side took a neutral stand, expressing no special opinion.
Sitting at the top, leader Bai Shuo looked at the situation with some headache!
“Then let’s vote on it!”
Bai Shuo started alone but now acts with so many brothers, growing the bandit group to thousands.
Bai Shuo knows that every decision he makes is about the brothers’ lives and deaths, it must be taken seriously.
“Alright! Vote!”
The crowd raised their hands to vote, the result was clear, those against surrendering were still the majority.
“Then there’s no hesitation, prepare to act! If not surrendering, then tonight we’ll raid Jiang Yingda’s residence… even if we can’t kill all of Ye Fan’s people, we must at least heavily damage them!”
“Yes! Leader, assign tasks, we’ll execute with determination!”
Second in command Jiang Cheng was very excited, almost rubbing his fists!
“It’s said, this Ye Fan is a fat pig from the Secular World, he got the Soul Hall’s treasury! Many in the Immortal Domain already targeted him, they didn’t succeed, this time it’s our chance!”
“Brothers, work with me; this deal, and we have a prosperous year! Everyone gets high-quality elixir pills, can quickly enhance strength!”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Under Jiang Cheng’s rally, those warlike bandits started roaring.
“Then let the second in command lead, prepare to attack Jiang Yingda now! Remember, leave some alive!”
Though most agree to fight to death, as a leader, Bai Shuo still has his own plans.
Capturing some of Ye Fan’s people gives him leverage for negotiation.
According to presently gathered intel, they can’t possibly kill all of Ye Fan’s men.
Moreover, with Ye Fan’s monstrous power, they mostly have to submit eventually, but even in submission, they should strive for good terms.
“Yes! Guarantee task completion!”
“I’ll prepare! Third in command, tonight, it’s your job to enhance mountain gate defense!”
The leader Bai Shuo’s arrangements were indeed very reasonable!
Strengthen mountain gate defense while sending people to raid Jiang Yingda.
Unfortunately, bandits remain as they are, internally not fully united.
Just after the meeting ended, the third in command assigned several legitimate line followers to go down the mountain from different directions, ahead to Jiang Yingda and Ye Fan’s residence!
“Hope my choice isn’t wrong! Alas, even if not fully accommodated, at least foster good relations first!”
…
In a nearby town’s inn, Ye Fan and Gong Shu had already laid down to rest, training in the cultivation space, suddenly woken by Guo Li forcibly outside the door.
“Boss, emergency situation!”
Ye Fan wrapped in clothes, looked puzzled at Guo Li, “What emergency?”
“Just now we received a few messengers with news: bandits on the mountain plan to raid overnight, targeting Uncle Da’s residence!”
Huh?
Ye Fan frowned, took the letter from Guo Li, carefully read it inside.
“Go, assemble the brothers, rush there immediately!”
Such matters, better believe in their existence than their absence.
Moreover, judging from Ye Fan’s assessment, the information passed by the third in command in the bandits is mostly true!
Hmph!
Looks like this bandit group isn’t fully united indeed!
Since that’s so, then let’s set an ambush for them!
Ye Fan is an expert at this!
Everyone was woken up, and rushed to Jiang Yingda’s residence, quickly deployed arrangements.
Jiang Yingda has slightly higher strength, so he got up quickly once alarmed, seeing Ye Fan and others in action, after Ye Fan’s explanation, Jiang Yingda immediately jumped up, “Hmph! Those bastards, still want a sneak attack, I’ll fight them!”
Ye Fan calmly smiled, “Uncle Da, tonight, just stay in the room and sleep! If I guess correctly, there are surely eyes in the dark around, so don’t let them get noticed!”
While communicating with Jiang Yingda, Ye Fan stayed in a vision blind spot from surveillance.
What Ye Fan intends is to surprise those attackers, make sure they come but never return!
He hasn’t gone to them proactively, yet they come to him, then give them a lesson…
