Chapter 505: Chapter 504: Return to Binhai
"It’s him, indeed."
Wang Chunyang smiled slightly and nodded, "He is indeed a child from my second brother’s family, but he left the Wang Family ten years ago. At that time, the old master even expelled him from the family in a fit of anger."
Wang Changchun chuckled, "In that case, Wang Lei no longer has any ties with the Langya Wang Family, right?"
Wang Chunyang gave a sly smile and addressed Wang Changchun, "Our Wang Family may disown this unworthy descendant, but that doesn’t mean others can bully him indiscriminately."
Wang Changchun frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Chunyang said indifferently, "After all, he still has the blood of our Wang Family flowing through his veins."
Wang Changchun furrowed his brows deeper, saying sternly, "In that case, once we capture him, we shall hand him over to your Wang Family to deal with personally."
Being a leader of a sect, to say this much was already giving utmost face to Wang Chunyang and the Wang Family.
Wang Chunyang couldn’t say much more, and with a fist wrapped in a palm saluted, "Master Wang is generous. If we truly can capture that lad and send him back to the Wang Family, my family will surely not cover up his crimes and will provide a satisfactory explanation to the world."
"That’ll be most ideal," Wang Changchun saluted with his hands clasped, "With this, I take my leave. Let us meet again in the future."
"Let us meet again in the future!"
The two groups sped off in different directions.
With this matter concluded, for the majority of Hidden Sect Practitioners, returning home to study the Taoist Cultivation Technique was of utmost importance. As for the conflicts and disputes between the Hidden Sects and Divine Continent Country, that was for the Eight Great Forces to worry about. As long as the world of the Hidden Sects was not destroyed, their lives would continue as normal, like a nephew carrying a lantern—illuminated as always.
Soon, the thousands of people gathered at the passageway began to leave one after another, and the lively area near the passageway returned to its usual desolation, leaving only the original guards to hold their positions.
However, next to the post, a new building had appeared, housing a six-person team from the mundane nations of the Divine Continent.
From now on, everyone entering or leaving the Hidden Sect World would have to register here, and they could only proceed after these persons reported to the outside world.
In a concealed cave near the passageway, Wang Lei, Qi Hongshao, and Qi Honglei were hiding.
All three were injured, especially Qi Honglei, who was severely hurt.
Fortunately, all three were cultivators and carried medicines for sword injuries. Some missing medicines could even be substituted with herbs found in the forest. As long as the injuries were not fatal, they were not a big problem.
After being rescued by Wang Chunyang that day, they immediately rushed to the vicinity of the passageway.
At that time, Yang Fei had not yet appeared; only Qin Yanyang stood there confronting the powerful figures of the Hidden Sects.
Wang Lei and Qi Hongshao, in disguise, mixed into the crowd and watched the scene from afar, filled with admiration.
Particularly Qi Hongshao, was utterly impressed by Qin Yanyang’s bravery to rescue her husband.
Latter, Yang Fei appeared and what followed was a series of debates and fights. Both observed secretly and did not come forward to recognize each other.
When the match was about to start, saying three bouts to win two, although Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were only two, Wang Lei almost jumped out, but luckily they changed the rules to decide the outcome with one battle.
The things that happened afterward were also vividly seen by both. Despite being Hidden Sect Practitioners, they had little empathy for Qin Yanyang’s dominance or for Divine Continent Country’s incessant pressing against the Hidden Sect World.
Even Qi Hongshao felt no frustration.
Now that the dust had settled, Wang Lei was relieved for Yang Fei and his wife.
However, the situation of the three was worrying.
This place was under Giant Sword Manor’s territory, and although hiding here temporarily made it hard to be found, it would become problematic over time.
During this period, their grudge with Giant Sword Manor had become too grande, and coupled with the pursuit by the assassin organization, they could no longer show their faces in the Hidden Sect World and found it difficult to move even an inch.
They had originally planned to leave with Yang Fei and his group. However, at the time, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang could hardly protect themselves, and in order not to trouble Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, Wang Lei did not show up when the two were released.
"It’s our fault that you’re involved," Qi Hongshao said apologetically, looking at Wang Lei softly.
Wang Lei smiled breezily, "What’s all this talk of fault? To me, the Hidden Sect and the outside world are the same. Besides, now that the outside world has permitted people of the Hidden Sect to go out, after Yang Hao’s injuries and others go out, we can create a new identity and sneak out easily."
Thinking of the six-person team from the Divine Continent Military Department stationed here, Wang Lei smiled secretly; with them here, it should be even easier for his trio to leave the Hidden Sect.
...
Three days later, the army sealed off the mountain.
Qin Yanyang had called for reinforcements the same day he left the Hidden Sect, and the Military Department had immediately dispatched more members to support, but they received Qin Yanyang’s encrypted message en route, reporting the agreements with the Hidden Sect to their superiors.
The superiors were greatly invigorated upon learning of the situation here and praised Qin Yanyang’s effective handling while also swiftly deploying operatives; three days later, the number of military personnel that showed up here exceeded two thousand.
Members of the Military Department accounted for almost half of these elite forces, with Special Energy Cannons and Audio Weapons accompanying the troops.
Although an agreement with the Hidden Sect had been reached, the members of the Hidden Sect had long been accustomed to superiority, and whether they might suddenly emerge was still an unknown.
Preventing problems before they arise, the Divine Continent Military Department prepared for the worst, creating the best defensive setup, ready to face any abrupt change at any moment.
"Yinping, stationed in this desolate cold place, you don’t harbor any resentment, do you?" Qin Yanyang asked Mo Yinpeng alone inside the camp.
Mo Yinpeng was 1.75 meters tall, striking and heroic, taller than many men, and constantly by Qin Yanyang’s side as his most effective assistant; she had come from a Martial Arts Family and honed in the Military Department for many years. Although she was not yet thirty, her ability to be so heavily relied upon by Qin Yanyang demonstrated her strong capabilities.
She straightened her back and said seriously, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
The bustling world always needs silent guardians.
Though Mo Yinpeng was a woman, she was also a soldier.
The mission of a soldier is to protect the nation and ensure the land is unharmed.
"You’ve worked hard," Qin Yanyang patted Mo Yinpeng on the shoulder, giving her a hug.
Although their relationship was that of superior and subordinate, they were also close comrades and best friends, sharing a great private relationship.
Mo Yinpeng’s eyes reddened with emotion, knowing that her significant responsibilities stemmed from Qin Yanyang’s trust and support.
"You have more important things to attend to, take care!" Mo Yinpeng said to Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang smiled slightly, "The situation in Binhai has not yet erupted, I am rather leisurely and relaxed over there, unlike you stationed in this harsh cold land."
After their farewells, Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei departed.
Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an had left before them.
Over the past three days, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang had been together from dawn to dusk, never parting except to use the bathroom.
However, they had not truly met heart to heart. Firstly, the conditions here were rough and not suitable, and secondly, Qin Yanyang had her own principles.
Of course, although Yang Fei was inclined, he was not in a rush. This woman’s profound affection for him was unquestionably deep; their emotions for each other were beyond doubt, she was not getting away.
A day later, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang returned to Binhai after months away, back to the warm villa where they transitioned from strangers to close, gradually nurtured affection for each other.
