Chapter 62: 064: Counterplot

Siye Villa was nestled within a lush forest to the west of Weihe City.

Inside its confines were winding corridors, resembling a labyrinth, cleverly constructed to incorporate a certain type of formation.

At this moment, several Sun and Moon Sect Members were active within the manor.

Most of them were from the Gathering Power Realm, but there were also a dozen from the Inner Qi Realm and Yuan Hefei, a Squad Leader from the Outer Qi Realm.

For players at this stage, this clearly posed a very dangerous high-level map instance.

None of the cult members were ones that the players could handle easily.

Yanbei Thirteen Riders and others had no clue how many experts of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect were inside, nor did they need to know.

In their view, no matter how skilful the sect’s experts were, they had decided to go on a suicide mission this time, and not just to die once.

Thus, the strength of the enemy no longer mattered.

At this moment, funded by Jiang Dali, Yanbei Thirteen Riders and company were each riding a horse, with four individuals carrying the corpses of four Sun and Moon Sect Members they had eliminated.

The group of players split into two teams, one of twelve people hid in advance.

The other two headed straight for Siye Villa.

Zuoanchunqiu rode his horse with a body in tow, leading straight to the main gate of Siye Villa.

"Who is this brat trespassing in the Sun and Moon Sect’s sub branch? Scram immediately!"

As Zuoanchunqiu approached within fifty meters of the gate of Siye Villa, two cult members in black clothing immediately jumped out from behind the door, one of whom swiftly launched a series of Hidden Weapons.

Zuoanchunqiu hastily threw the body in his hand, which coincidentally collided with the Hidden Weapons, quickly pulled on the reins and started to flee, yelling as he ran.

"Remember this, you Sun thieves of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect! Dare to provoke the Shaolin High Monks, and this will be your fate, come kill me if you have the guts, you sons of bitches!"

The two Sun and Moon Sect Members who were initially only intending to warn Zuoanchunqiu instantly grew furious upon hearing him.

They immediately showcased their Qinggong and chased after him.

One of them picked up the corpse from the ground, bellowed angrily, "It’s Old Wang’s corpse, kill that kid, Old Wang is dead!"

"Come on, you Sun thieves, chase me! If you don’t kill me, you are cowards."

Zuoanchunqiu shouted back, but in the next moment, he felt a severe pain in his body as the second Sun and Moon Sect Member caught up, striking him with a Hidden Weapon in the back, clearing his blood bar and turning him into a white light that disappeared.

"They are the Abnormal People mentioned by the Sect Hierarch."

The Sun and Moon Sect Member who had killed Zuoanchunqiu hesitated, then quickly reminded his companion.

At this moment, Cangjian, number two of the Yanbei Thirteen Riders, also appeared on horseback from around the corner, shouting at the two from the Sun and Moon Sect, "You Sun thieves of the Sun and Moon Sect, tell your Squad Leader Yuan Datou, that your Holy Maiden Ren Yingying is in Laozi’s hands, that girl’s damn charming, haha."

"Insulting the Holy Maiden, you bunch of Abnormal People are seeking death!"

The two Sun and Moon Sect Members were furious and immediately used their Qinggong to pursue.

Soon, Cangjian was also killed, but he too dropped another corpse of a Sun and Moon Sect Member.

Jiang Dali was quietly observing from a distance, seeing that after the two Sun and Moon Sect Members killed the Abnormal People and searched the surroundings to no avail, they carried the bodies of their companions back inside the Siye Villa, his gaze somber and still, not making any rash moves.

They were only two minor nuisances, and he certainly wouldn’t disturb the underbrush to startle the snake, as his aim was to catch bigger fish.

He could somewhat discern the strategy of Yanbei Thirteen Riders and others.

Apparently, these players intended to use the corpses of the Sun and Moon Sect Members and the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden Ren Yingying as bait to lure out Yuan Hefei.

The strategy didn’t involve much depth, it was merely a straightforward plan.

If Yuan Hefei was cautious, he might not fall for it.

It might even lead to him coming out with a large group of people, which wouldn’t serve to isolate and divide the enemy’s forces.

"Yuan Hefei is also a BOSS, his blood bar won’t be much less than mine. Plus, with a dozen of Inner Qi Realm followers and a bunch of nobodies, even with the advantage of the Golden Nine-Ring Blade, I might not be able to take him down forcibly; instead, I could end up in danger."

"To be safe, it’s better to isolate him; hopefully, Yanbei Thirteen Riders and people don’t let me down."

Jiang Dali pondered internally, continuing to observe covertly.

At that moment inside Siye Villa, two Sun and Moon Sect members returned with a corpse, immediately causing a commotion among all the members in the villa.

In the main hall at the center of the villa, Yuan Hefei sat on a Taishi Chair with a gloomy expression, coldly staring at the two bodies on the floor.

He was thin and wiry with mantis-like legs and duck-shaped feet. His long body was topped with a dark face, and the deep furrow between his eyebrows seemed to lock them tightly together, making him appear fearsome even when he was not angry, suffocating the surrounding cult members at this moment.

"Hmph! What audacious fools, daring to assist the Shaolin Monks against our Sun and Moon Divine Sect. This person’s strikes are powerful and heavy, either killing or severely injuring the victim, he indeed has some skills."

Yuan Hefei said coldly.

A cult member beside him asked in surprise, "Squad Leader, weren’t they killed by Shaolin Monks?"

Yuan Hefei scoffed disdainfully, "If that Shaolin Mengyi had such abilities, I would indeed like to meet him. It’s clear he has gained a powerful ally, and now he even dares to provoke me, mixing with those useless Abnormal People."

"They claimed they have the Holy Maiden in their custody, and one of the Abnormal People even insulted her."

A cult member said angrily.

"It seems they are trying to lure me, Yuan Hefei, out. Very well, I want to see just who this Mengyi has got to help him that he dares to challenge me."

Yuan Hefei abruptly stood up.

"Squad Leader, this could be the enemy’s trick. These righteous people always talk of morality and justice but often do things that cannot bear the light. There might be an ambush; we must not fall for it."

"Yes, Squad Leader, this might just be a ploy to draw out the snake."

"No need to say more."

Yuan Hefei’s eyes gleamed with sharp light, "Can I not see if it’s a trick? Even if it is a trick, I’ll turn their scheme against them. Taking this opportunity, I’ll capture Mengyi and force the information about the Holy Maiden’s whereabouts.

Since they’ve gone to the trouble of luring me out rather than charging into the villa for a direct confrontation, it’s clear that their ally is also limited in strength. This is both a risk and an opportunity!"

Yuan Hefei flourished his cloak, picked up a Long Spear, and said, "Come, five guards will advance and retreat with me. Leave a team of people in the villa, and others can adapt as the situation develops."

"Yes!"

...

Just half a column of incense later.

Jiang Dali’s eyes brightened as he saw a group of people rushing out of Siye Villa, led by someone holding a Long Spear and riding a tall horse, notably Yuan Hefei.

"Boss, a big shot really came out, shit, his blood bar looks so long."

"Stop blabbering, go, we act separately and try to draw them apart as much as possible."

Hidden around Siye Villa, the Yanbei Thirteen Riders also started moving at this moment.

They quickly communicated through privately created posts on the forum, emerging from various corners and cursing at Yuan Hefei and the others who just left the villa.

"Sun thief! Come here, daddy’s here!"

"Hey, son of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, your grandpa is calling you home for noodles."

"You all came rather quickly, the coffin shop isn’t even opened yet!"

...

"Don’t panic! These Abnormal People are clearly trying to split our strength.

We’d be fools to fall for it. The most important thing is to find that mysterious expert later."

A Sun and Moon Sect member of the Inner Qi Realm calmly shouted, face full of disdain.

"Right, it’s a trap."

"Really, do they think the people of our Sun and Moon Divine Sect are fools?"

"A group of powerless Abnormal People, how could I possibly fall for it?"

A group of Sun and Moon Sect members concurred, but soon their faces grew increasingly troubled...
