“Yang Chen, we’ve been waiting eagerly for you to come out.”
“Yang Chen, you must stand up for us.” Chen Ting and Zhang Huaizhong seemed to have suffered some great grievances, gritting their teeth and filled with resentment in their hearts.
Yang Chen took a deep breath: “Tell me everything that happened.”
Chen Ting and Zhang Huaizhong glanced at each other before Zhang Huaizhong clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth: “Here’s what happened. The Horse-thief Gang has always sent five geniuses by tradition. As soon as these five geniuses from the Horse-thief Gang entered Monster Beast Mountain, they formed a group.”
“This time, the Horse-thief Gang seems to be even more restless than in previous years.” Chen Ting continued: “As soon as they entered Monster Beast Mountain, they started targeting the singled-out geniuses. At first, it wasn’t a problem since everyone teamed up, and the Horse-thief Gang didn’t dare to act recklessly. But during these last few days, those people from the Horse-thief Gang, for some unknown reason, attacked the geniuses of the Great Wild
Hundred Clans as soon as they saw them! ”
Yang Chen said slowly, “There are so many of you, yet you’re afraid of five people from the Horse-thief Gang?”
“If we had realized this early on, we wouldn’t be afraid. But in reality, most of us formed pairs or, at most, groups of three. The five Horse-thief Gang members moved together, and we couldn’t match them. The key point is, Brother Yang Chen, what you don’t know is that Zhang Long’s martial arts cultivation is even stronger than Zhang Ying’s, and he’s not far behind you.” Chen Ting said with a mix of snot and tears, feeling extremely bitter. Yang Chen, with his hands behind his back: “Zhang Ying, Zhang Long…”
“If you were with us, we wouldn’t be afraid of Zhang Ying or Zhang Long, but we spent so much time searching Monster Beast Mountain for you and couldn’t find you!” Zhang Huaizhong said with a wronged expression.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly at this.
So that’s the story.
He spent at least three days in the valley where the Black Mountain Bears resided, and during those days, the Horse-thief Gang made their move.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t there, and with the martial arts cultivation level of these Great Wild Hundred Clans’ youngsters, they couldn’t cope with Zhang Ying and Zhang Long.
“Brother Yang Chen, what do you plan to do now? In my opinion, now that you’ve returned, you must quickly gather the remaining survivors, unify them as a strong force, and then endure these ten days. Once we’re out of Monster Beast Mountain, we’ll immediately seek justice from our clan elders. The Horse-thief Gang will get what’s coming to them then.” Chen Huaizhong said indignantly.
“Seeking justice from our clan elders… Do you think the Horse-thief Gang is afraid of that since they dared to do all this?” Yang Chen said helplessly.
“But…” Zhang Huaizhong choked on Yang Chen’s words and didn’t know how to refute them.
Yes, would the Horse-thief Gang be afraid of them telling the elders?
What a joke.
Yang Chen massaged his eyebrows, “In my opinion, since the Horse-thief Gang dares to attack the Hundred Clans’ geniuses like this, they probably don’t fear the consequences at all. On the contrary, the Great Tribes and the Horse-thief Gang probably have some unwritten rules: not to interfere with each other’s conflicts in Monster Beast Mountain.”
At least, Feng Changkong had hinted before entering Monster Beast Mountain that the top 30 geniuses should unite against the Horse-thief Gang, but how many of them could understand?
“So what do we do now, Brother Yang Chen? We’ll listen to whatever you say.”
By now, Chen Ting had already lost any courage he had initially, and couldn’t make any decisions on his own.
Yang Chen slowly said, “Those bandits will come for us sooner or later. So instead of waiting for them, why not take the initiative and go find them? Didn’t you say Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe were targeted by the
Horse-thief Gang? In that case, we’ll go save them right now!”
“How can we do that?” Chen Ting immediately became scared: “I won’t go. If we go there and get caught by those bandits, it’ll be difficult to even survive.”
Although Zhang Huaizhong was also terrified, he cared much more about loyalty and friendship than Chen Ting: “Chen Ting, you should know that the Horse-thief Gang’s original target was us. Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian were targeted because they tried to help us. Their situation is probably already very dangerous. At first, I could understand you not rescuing them because we were too weak to be of any assistance. But now that Brother Yang Chen is here, and you still don’t want to go?”
Chen Ting’s face turned red with embarrassment after Zhang Huaizhong’s words: “You can go to your deaths, but I won’t!”
“Fine, Chen Ting, I guess I misjudged you,” Zhang Huaizhong said through gritted teeth.
Seeing that their opinions didn’t align, Chen Ting turned and left without any intention of staying.
Zhang Huaizhong stared at Chen Ting’s retreating figure and snorted: “It’s because we have such cowards in our Great Wilderness that those bandits can be so rampant and lawless.”
“Brother Zhang, your sense of responsibility is commendable. You chose to stay and go save Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe with me. I, Yang Chen, have great respect for you.” Yang Chen said with a respectful bow.
To be honest, if Zhang Huaizhong had also decided to leave, Yang Chen wouldn’t blame him either.After all, the strength of Zhang Long and Zhang Ying from the Horse-thief Gang was not trivial. Yang Chen could handle one of them, but could he handle two?
Zhang Huaizhong sighed, “Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian were captured trying to save me. Even if Brother Yang Chen didn’t show up, I wouldn’t just give up on them. Now that Brother Yang Chen is here, my confidence has increased. I am even more determined. I, Zhang Huaizhong, am not one to shirk my debts. How could I live with myself otherwise!”
“Good, good, Zhang Huaizhong! With that attitude, I, Yang Chen, recognize you as a friend!” Yang Chen laughed heartily.
Zhang Huaizhong turned out to be quite a man as well. Once his decision was made, he said, “Don’t worry, Chen Ting will only regret this foolish decision he made today. Let me lead you to deal with those bandits. It’s definitely not a suicide mission; I’ve yet to live to my fullest.”
“Brother Yang Chen, what’s your plan?” Zhang Huaizhong asked curiously.
“Plan?” Yang Chen scratched his chin.
He didn’t actually have much of a plan.
Did he really need a plan to deal with Zhang Long and Zhang Ying’s bandits with his current strength?
Thinking of this, Yang Chen smiled, “Let’s not discuss this for now. Lead the way.”
Zhang Huaizhong immediately nodded and quickly took the lead.
Yang Chen followed closely behind Zhang Huaizhong. In no time, they were stealthily approaching the bandits’ hideout where Zhang Long, Zhang Ying, and the others were.
“Brother Chen, we’re here,” Zhang Huaizhong whispered.
“So, it’s right here,” Yang Chen muttered.
At the moment, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and he could clearly see the situation.
Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe were indeed captured.
Not only Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe were tied up, but also other geniuses such as Qian Meng from the Qian family. More than half of the top thirty
participants in the Trial Battle were there.
If the rest were killed, then only a few people would have escaped the Horse-thief Gang during the entire Trial Battle.
Yang Chen didn’t rush to take action.
At this time, Zhang Huaizhong suddenly pointed to a spot in the distance and whispered, “Brother Chen, look over there.”
“Hmm?” Yang Chen looked and saw a bandit dragging a tied-up person back from a distance.
That young man was none other than Chen Ting, who had just parted ways with Yang Chen.
Chen Ting had intended to escape, but his luck was unbelievably bad. He had just separated from Yang Chen when he was discovered and taken back by the bandits.
“Haha, it’s Chen Ting, he really deserves it,” Zhang Huaizhong chuckled from the shadows.
Yang Chen also couldn’t help but chuckle, “Chen Ting really has bad luck.”
“Brother Long, Brother Ying. This is Chen Ting from the Chen family. Capturing him was quite a bit of work. Damn it, this kid may not have much skill, but he runs like a rabbit. That being said, with this kid captured, only Yang Chen and Zhang Huaizhong are left. Everyone else is here.” The young bandit spoke respectfully to Zhang Long and Zhang Ying.
Zhang Long and Zhang Ying exchanged glances, and then Zhang Long said, “Zhang Huaizhong is just a small fry. It’s Yang Chen who’s truly hard to deal with. Has there been any news on him?”
Not yet,” the bandit shook his head.
“I have news on Yang Chen! Not only do I know where Yang Chen is, but I also know where Zhang Huaizhong is. As long as you promise to spare me, I guarantee I’ll tell you their exact location immediately.” At this moment, the captured Chen Ting suddenly yelled out.
This brought a glimmer of joy to Zhang Long while also causing a sharp flash in the eyes of the hidden Yang Chen..
