My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 664 - 665: Infighting

Chapter 664: Chapter 665: Infighting

"People of the Demon Gate, follow me!" Lin Rui, the prodigy of the Demon Gate, took the lead, guiding the group into Wanzang Mountain.

"People of the Gu family, follow me!" Gu Tong shouted, and immediately, all the prodigies of the Gu family rallied behind him!

"People of the Chu family, move out!"

"People of the Yu family, come with me!" The leaders of the Chu and Yu families also spoke up.

Ye Wudao nodded and said, "Let’s go."

Soon, everyone arrived inside Wanzang Mountain, and in front of them was an astonishing teleportation array.

As they stepped into the teleportation array, everyone felt the world spinning, their heads dizzy, airflow swirling around them, and even fierce gusts of wind.

"Everyone, don’t panic, this is the effect of the teleportation array!" Ye Wudao spoke, steadying his mind.

After a while, Ye Wudao’s vision suddenly brightened.

Bang!

Bang!

Ye Wudao’s body harshly fell to the ground from hundreds of meters in the air. He quickly adjusted his falling posture, while several of the Shi family’s prodigies weren’t so fortunate; except for Shi Po, the rest suffered a rough landing.

"Ah, my back!"

"Ah, my leg is broken!"

Several prodigies from the Shi family cried out in agony, tumbling to the ground.

As Shi Lingling plummeted from the sky, Ye Wudao immediately reached out his hand.

"Phew, thank you, Captain Ye!" Shi Lingling steadied herself, her face showing gratitude.

"No problem!"

Shi Lingling’s beautiful eyes surveyed their surroundings. They were in an endless desert, scorchingly hot to the extreme, with the venomous sun baking the earth and the desert winds howling, a veritable hell on earth!

"Where is this?" Shi Lingling asked curiously.

"This must be the Fiery Sea Desert mentioned by the Toad Poison Master; this place is a space of its own!" Ye Wudao explained.

"Eh, why haven’t we seen any other members of the Emperor Level clans, or people from the Demon Gate?" a prodigy from the Shi family asked curiously.

"Heh, do you even need to think about it? They must have been transported somewhere else!" Shi Po scoffed.

Ye Wudao surveyed the surroundings and said, "Let’s go, don’t fall behind!"

"Yes!" Several prodigies from the Shi family nodded.

The group headed aimlessly forward through the boundless desert. The harsh sun and unfamiliar terrain made their journey slow.

Several hours later.

Members of the Shi family sweated profusely, overly heated by the barren desert landscape. Even these prodigies, who were beyond the fifth rank of Emperor Level, found it unbearable.

They started to take out water from their storage rings to drink, and once the water was gone, they began drinking wine.

In just half a day, the group had consumed most of their water supplies!

"Everyone, conserve your water. Once we run out, we’ll die of thirst!" Ye Wudao cautioned.

Venturing into the desert, he hadn’t had a drop of water for hours, which was nothing short of a miracle!

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, several members of the Shi family conservatively stored their water, while only Shi Po, drinking wine, sneered, "Captain Ye, you’re the leader, how about you come up with an idea?"

"Exactly, we can’t keep wandering aimlessly through the desert!"

"When would we ever get out?" a few disciples close to Shi Po chimed in.

Ye Wudao was the pillar of strength, and everyone awaited his suggestion!

Ye Wudao stood on a sand dune, his gaze stretching into the distance. The desert was too vast, almost endless.

At that moment, even he felt bewildered!

"I don’t know." Ye Wudao admitted honestly.

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, all the Shi family’s disciples became disheartened, even Ye Wudao didn’t know what to do.

Shi Po scoffed, "Since you don’t know, don’t lead the way then. If we had entered the teleportation array with the people from the four great Emperor Level families, maybe this wouldn’t have happened!"

Shi Po’s words were like igniting a conflict!

"Brother Shi Po is right!"

"It’s all because of that Ye who insisted on going last!"

"Now look, he’s got us transported to this godforsaken place!" the three lackeys of Shi Po criticized.

Shi Lingling frowned and said, "How can you speak like that? Captain Ye had never been here before, how could he know the situation?"

When everyone heard Shi Lingling’s words, they did not argue any further.

"Let’s keep moving," Ye Wudao said.

The Shi family members continued on their way.

The endless desert was scorching under the sun, with violent winds blasting as if there was no night at all.

Several hours later.

"I can’t take it anymore, I’m so thirsty!"

"I can’t stand it anymore!"

"I’m going to die of heat!" several talents from the family collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat, their lips cracked.

"Sister Lingling, do you have any water?" Shi Po asked.

Shi Lingling bit her lip and shook her head with a bitter smile, "I don’t."

"Sister Lingling, I do!" Shi Po pulled out five or six bottles of water and handed one to Shi Lingling, saying, "I have enough water for three days!"

Hiss!

Everyone hearing Shi Po’s words crowded around him.

"Brother Shi Po, please give us a sip of water!"

"I’m dying of thirst!"

Seeing this, Shi Po couldn’t help but sneer, "So are you going to listen to me, or to that Ye?"

"Of course, we’ll listen to you!"

"You are one of our Shi family; that Ye is just an outsider after all!" Several of Shi Po’s lackeys flattered him, and Shi Po, very satisfied, gave each of them a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Brother Shi Po, for the gift of water. We will definitely repay your kindness like a spring," the lackeys said gratefully, gulping down the water.

Only Shi Lingling, Shi Tie, and Shi Fei stood by Ye Wudao’s side, their Adam’s apples moving, eyes filled with envy.

Shi Po said with a laugh, "As long as you are willing to follow me, I have enough water for us to get out of this desert!"

Upon hearing Shi Po’s words, the lackeys didn’t think twice, "We are willing!"

"Good!" Shi Po was very satisfied and then looked towards Shi Lingling, saying, "Lingling, come with me!"

Shi Lingling hesitated and then shook her head, "I’ll follow the captain!"

"Hmph, follow him? This kid got us into this barren land, he doesn’t even have water, and will only lead us to our deaths!" Shi Po sneered, but seeing Shi Lingling’s resolute look, he still threw out two bottles of water.

Shi Lingling caught the two bottles of water and handed one to Ye Wudao; "Captain, you haven’t had a drop of water yet, have a drink!"

Ye Wudao shook his head and declined, "I’m not thirsty, you drink it!"

"Hmph, this Ye knows his place!" Shi Po said.

"Shi Po, Madam Shi said you were to listen to me upon entering here. If you insist on leaving, any problems that arise will have nothing to do with me!" Ye Wudao spoke up.

"You don’t need to worry about me, kid!" Shi Po waved his hand saying, "Those willing to follow me, come with me. I’ll lead you out of this godforsaken place!"

The three lackeys immediately followed behind Shi Po.

Entering Wanzang Mountain had brought internal strife among them, and Shi Lingling and the others looked very somber.

After another hour under the scorching sun, even the typically composed Shi Tie couldn’t help but speak, his voice extremely hoarse, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Ye Wudao looked around and suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in the distance.

His eyes sharp, he said, "Be careful, there’s something!"
