Chapter 77 – Countermeasures
”But how did they break through the outer guards on the mountain, when we fled back to the mountain, we had clearly told the guards along the way to strengthen their vigilance.” Li Feiyu muttered to himself in confusion.
”There’s nothing strange about this, the Wild Wolf Gang must have been plotting for a long time for this big attack, planting a few peripheral spies is still an easy task, with these traitors leading the way, it’s not uncommon for those outposts to be taken down without a sound.” Han Li said indifferently.
”But for the Coyote Gang to want to easily take down all the sub-chambers, that’s impossible. I reckon that they want to surround all of the peaks where the various halls are located without attacking them, and then focus the rest of their experts to concentrate on attacking Sunset Peak, where the main hall is located. As long as they can capture or kill a bunch of the heads of this sect, then the rest of the various halls will not be attacked.”
”Then what should we do now? Should we go to Sunset Peak?” Li Feiyu pursued with some impatience.
Han Li was silent and speechless, and after a long time, he suddenly turned his body to Li Feiyu and said in a deep voice, “You still haven’t told me how so many experts in the negotiation team were all wiped out? According to reason, the Wild Wolf Gang definitely doesn’t have this much strength.”
When Li Feiyu heard this, the muscles on his face twitched, he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick his cracked lips, revealing a hint of a bitter smile and said, “They used a large number of ballistae crossbows, and they were all reinforced military crossbows.”
”Military ballistae crossbows?”
”Not bad! At that time, we had only left the mountain for two days, and we were walking on top of a meadow, because we were still in our own territory, so everyone was very slack. Right at that moment, suddenly from all around underground drilled out countless wild wolf gang members, they had a hard crossbow in each hand, and then the crossbow arrows that covered the sky shot over, the crossbow arrows were so dense that all the disciples who were almost skilled in martial arts died under the chaotic arrows on the spot. Only a few people with extremely high martial arts skills or good luck managed to escape the attack, but that was also everyone with injuries, their martial arts skills were weakened a lot. I was one of those lucky people, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
Li Feiyu still had palpitations when he said here, and a few hints of fear could not help but show in his eyes, it seemed that the horrifying sight of crossbows and arrows being fired at him that time was really not a small stimulus for him.
”After the crossbow arrows were fired, the other party’s experts came up, and then we all fell into a bitter battle, the rest of us in order to increase the chances of survival, simply separate their own actions, break through on their own.
It is also my life is good, in the eyes of the other side I’m not much of an important kill target, so the pursuit of less people, martial arts is not very strong look, even really let me kill out. But wait for me to rush back when I realized, originally all the way above should be our people stationed in the various strongholds, I do not know when has been the other side have been plucked, replaced by the wild wolf gang of people entrenched there, waiting for us to these leakage of the fish to throw themselves into the net. After I fell for the trick once or twice, I no longer dared to seek assistance.
Because I wanted to know the situation of the others, I later crossed my heart and simply ambushed a blue-robed law enforcement officer of the Coyote Gang, and learned from him that Sect Master Wu and several elders, because they were besieged by the other side’s many experts, had all died in battle, and only a few people who were not too highly regarded as I was, but whose martial arts skills were not too weak, were able to escape. After knowing this news, I didn’t dare to delay for a moment more, I desperately rushed to the mountain. On the way, I inadvertently met the other two worshipers who had escaped from the same place as me, so they fled together for a day and a night, and finally returned to the mountain.
As soon as they returned, those two offerings went to Sunset Peak to inform Sect Master Wang of the news of the negotiation team’s total annihilation. I, on the other hand, made up an excuse to heal my wounds and secretly came to you first to discuss a plan to deal with it. You should know that Sect Master Wu and so many people were killed in the ambush, but only a few of us, who are not too high or too low, escaped back. In order to shirk the responsibility, who knows whether the above will vent their anger on us and make us the scapegoat.
Now it’s good that before we can explain this matter to you, the Coyote Gang’s men have already killed us. You say, what do we have to do now, to be good!”
Li Feiyu said so much in one breath, his complexion shifting to become somewhat helpless again.
After hearing this, Han Li frowned and tilted his head to think for a moment.
At this time, the shouting and killing sounds on the mountain became even more intense, and from time to time, there were also a few mournful cries of dying people, causing people to shudder at the sound of it.
”Do you still have subordinates on the mountain right now?” Han Li’s voice became very low.
”Yes, I still have more than twenty subordinates, all of which have been arranged in a few houses near Elder Li’s house, and I had originally planned to wait for the negotiations to return before bringing them out of the mountain on business.”
”Alright then, let’s go to Elder Li’s residence first, gather with these people first, and then rendezvous with Miss Zhang Sleeve’er and Elder Li in the meantime, as for the next step, we’ll make a decision after figuring out the specifics of the situation.” Han Li calmly said, appearing very rational.
”Good, I’ll listen to you.”
”Now that it’s so chaotic outside, I’m still really worried about Sleeve-er!” Li Feiyu was a bit nervous.
Han Li glanced at Li Feiyu, he really didn’t know what this guy was thinking, on one hand, he was incomparably nervous and concerned about Zhang Sleeve-er; on the other hand, knowing that his lifespan wasn’t long, he still insisted on marrying someone else, clearly wanting to make the other party widowed ah!
”What a contradictory fellow!” Han Li quietly gave this close friend of his a bad comment.
Han Li gently leapt off the roof first, and Li Feiyu followed suit.
”I’ll go pack up my things, then we’ll leave right away.”
”Alright, you have to hurry, I’m really hung up on Sleeve’s safety.”
Han Li could only be speechless once he heard these words.
The other party’s “Sleeve-er” was said in a very fleshy manner, causing Han Li to have a few moments of contempt as well as a few moments of jealousy.
Han Li no longer paid attention to Li Feiyu, who had suddenly transformed into a love-struck maniac, and returned to the house on his own, starting to neatly pack up a few essential items.
