Chapter 188

: A Daring Plan     
The Crystal Valley within the Scarlet Blood Valley is considered as a valley within a valley. The next mission will probably be here!


Wang Tian Zhi pointed at a point on the map. He said almost the same thing as Ye Zifeng as his eyes burned with a determined expression.
As the strongest qi refining stage expert of the number one clan in Leizhou City, not only was he able to rely on his clan’s resources, he could also rely on his own skills and experience.
Hence, he was not someone who’s merely all brawns and no brains. When he was calm, he would be the calmest person in the party.
Furthermore, just a while ago, he had relied on his own strength and led the Wang Clan team to successfully hunted the fierce beasts, clear the second mission, proceed to the third mission.
Wang Mengxi looked at the map seriously and nodded slightly, her eyes shining.

Consider this, we can ignore the Ye clan since they merely have ten people. The Rong Clan and the Xiao Clan do not pose a threat to us. The only ones we have to worry about is the Liu Clan. I’m afraid they might be one step ahead of us already.


Heh, that’s impossible. Even though Liu Bingqian is a considered one of the strongest at the 9th stage of qi refining, she is still a level below me. I know for a fact that we are faster than them.
An arrogant smile appeared at the corner of Wang Tian Zhi’s mouth.
This was not simply him bragging. Even Liu Bingqian herself admitted that her skill level was weaker than Wang Tianzhi.
Even if they were talking about overall strength, the Wang clan is still stronger.

That’s why, since we have smoothly completed the first two missions, our Wang clan will definitely be the first to enter the Crystal Valley. Let’s set out immediately!
Wang Tianzhi’s eyes was filled with expectations.
……
The Crystal Valley, which was a valley inside a valley, boasts a treacherously deep terrain. Its depth was immeasurable.
However, it was not named Crystal Valley because its ground was filled with crystals. The reason for its name was because of the Stone Crystal beasts that roamed the place.
Ye Zifeng walked towards the entrance and squatted down, picking up a spirit grass on the ground. After he used his qi to investigate the grass, he smiled slightly,
Seems like we are in luck today, we are the first group to enter the Crystal Valley.


How…how can you tell?
Feng Die was shocked as she looked at Ye Zi Feng with disbelieving eyes. How he managed to conclude that was simply a mystery.
Ye Zifeng smiled,
There are many mysteries in the world. However, with the right mindset and view, it can be solved. I’m merely looking at things differently from you all. To enter the Crystal Valley, you must pass through this entrance. If a cultivator came by, there would definitely be qi remnants around here. I just checked the surroundings. The spirit grass which attracts qi remnants does not have any on it at all!


You…..You know quite a bit of things.
Feng Di looked at him in admiration. A precautious woman like herself rarely admired guys. Most of the guys she knew were all braggadocious.
However, Ye Zifeng gave off a different feeling. He was clearly just a kid in his twenties and yet the air that he gave off made it seem like he was a supreme expert.
Ye Zifeng smiled and didn’t reply. Instead, he turned towards Liu Yige and whispered.

Alright. Liu Yige. I’ll leave the Rong clan to you for now. Go hide in the outskirts of the valley. Only act after you receive my message through the spirit paper. Got it?


Got it!
This was not the first time that Liu Yige had colluded with Ye Zifeng so he knew what to do. He then pointed at Xiao Mu and asked,
What about him?


Xiao Mu……?


I have to do some work too?
Xiao Mu asked in surprise.
Ye Zifeng thought about it and then smiled. He looked over at Xiao Mu and signaled for him to come over.

And you…. Follow me for now.

Xiao Mu shuddered. He was somewhat terrified. He was afraid that something bad might happen.
……
Thus, the two group of people split up and went about their own.
The ten people in the Ye clan plus Xiao Mu were together, while Liu Yige and the Rong clan were together.
Ye Xueyi was confused as to why her brother did something like this.

Brother Zifeng, we have thirty people. Why do you want them split up? Is this really fine?

She thought about it again,
I mean…..If there is a super strong fierce beast, we might need more people to fight against it!

Ye Zifeng smiled and continued to walk.

Do you think we came in here to hunt fierce beasts?


We’re not hunting? Then why are we here?
Ye Xueyi was surprised. The other people who heard him were surprised as well. What was Ye Zifeng trying to do?
Feng Di frowned as well.

Sister Xueyi has a point here. Aren’t we here to hunt the elite stone crystal beast that gained intelligence in here to complete the third mission? Unless….. You want to go and do something else here.

Ye Zifeng laughed,
There are a lot of stone crystal beasts in here but there is only one with intelligence. The Liu clan and Wang clan will definitely try to fight it with brute force. If we go and fight it, even if we win, we will be on our last breath. The Wang clan will definitely take advantage of that and fight us.


So……
A cold look appeared on Ye Zifeng’s face,
Instead of fighting it ourselves, we should hide and attack the Wang clan when they’re the most vulnerable!


This….
Everyone was shocked still.
Ye Zifeng actually wanted to confront the Wang clan, the number one clan in Leizhou City! This…. He was way too daring. However, a sense of excitement overcame all of them.
It was because he was Ye Zifeng that he dared to do something like that. It’s all because of Ye Zifeng that they were even qualified to compete with the people of the Wang clan. Without him, they probably wouldn’t have beaten the first fierce beast.

But Brother Zifeng…. How will we know when the Wang clan comes?
Ye Xueyi asked.
Ye Zifeng chuckled,
Well… Actually, you probably know what I’m going to do.

……
Ye Zifeng visualized the terrain of the Crystal Valley and found a suitable hiding spot for the group.
He then found a quiet spot for himself and sat down. He closed his eyes and started to concentrate.
On the other side, Elder Shen was still fake sleeping in front of all the other elders. Ye Zifeng told him that he would contact him again but it’s already been a while. Elder Shen was feeling a little impatient.

Brat! What happened to your sister before? Why did our connection go off?

According to Ye Zifeng, his soul spirit was connected to Ye Xueyi as well. If anything happened to her, his own cultivation would drop as well. This was the reason why Elder Shen was so anxious.
When Elder Shen reminded Ye Zifeng of this event, Ye Zifeng felt a little headache coming.

Well…. I asked Xueyi about it already. After she fought the fierce beast, she wanted to take a little bath. She was afraid that you might use your soul spirit’s divine sense to watch her bathing so she had no choice but to sever the connection between the two of you.


So that’s how it is. As long as she’s fine. It’s good as long as she’s fine.

Suddenly, Elder Shen yelled as if he remembered something,
Hold on….As the leader of the three great elders of the sect, do you think I would actually use my divine sense to peek at a little girl showering?

Ye Zifeng couldn’t help but laugh a little.

You just laughed didn’t you!

That little laugh was especially ear-piercing to Elder Shen. Ye Zifeng might as well say what he wanted in the open.

Alright. Let’s not joke around anymore. This time, I need Elder Shen to help me with something.
Ye Zifeng became serious very quickly.
Elder Shen sighed,
Judging by your tone, you want me to help you cheat again right?

Ye Zifeng laughed and nodded.

Great. Elder Shen is a smart person!


Don’t try this with me.
Elder Shen sighed,
How many times has it been already. Can you stop treating such a grand person like myself as your errand boy.

Ye Zifeng shook his head,
Zifeng has never thought of you as an errand boy. I have always viewed Elder Shen as a great master. In the future, I will definitely repay Elder Shen.

These words were like a sweet tune in the ears of Elder Shen.
Afterall, Elder Shen had always wanted a smart and cunning disciple that has limitless potential just like Ye Zifeng.
Flattering words don’t only have to be used to flatter people. They can be used to improve people’s relationships.

Alright. Alright. What do you need?
Elder Shen sighed.

Many thanks to Elder Shen. It’s simple.
Ye Zifeng smiled,
When the Wang clan comes into the Crystal Valley, I hope that Elder Shen can contact me with their whereabouts.


This…… Fine.

Elder Shen laughed,
You brat. Do you have something up your sleeves? You actually want to fight the Wang clan with just ten people? Actually, I’ve always hated the people in the Wang clan. I’ll use this chance to help you out a little. Don’t disappoint me!


Don’t worry Elder Shen…I won’t disappoint you.
Ye Zifeng’s eyes flashed with determination.
