Chapter 721: 720
When Wang Chunyang noticed Yang Fei’s movement, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What? Are you planning to barge into the Hidden Sect World from here to rescue the woman named Tong Yunshu?"
Upon hearing this, Helian Rong’s expression changed, and she looked towards Yang Fei.
Even Helian Zhan glanced over.
After Wang Chunyang had exposed his thinking, Yang Fei pondered briefly and said, "If they return to the Hidden Sect and indeed unite the five powers to besiege the other three powers, then the interior of the Zhuge family should be in a vulnerable state."
Helian Zhan nodded and replied, "Indeed. But this is based on the assumption that our previous speculation is all correct. What if we were wrong? If the Zhuge family did not ally with other powers against the Poison Sect, Qingtian Sect, and the Langya Wang Family, rashly entering the Hidden Sect World could land us deep within the territory of Zhuge Manor. Young man, it’s not that I am being arrogant, but if the Zhuge family has more than two Divine Travel Realm warriors in its stronghold, with the aid of the ancient arrays of Zhuge Manor, even Brother Wang and I would find it hard to escape if trapped alone."
Wang Chunyang nodded on the side, "Exactly. If Zhuge Cang stays back at home, even with his serious injuries, given his achievements in Array Formation Talisman Tao, neither Brother Helian nor I are confident of defeating him at Zhuge Manor."
Yang Fei had clashed twice with Zhuge Cang, and he knew very well how formidable this person was.
Heaven knows how much this guy could increase his combat power after returning to the Zhuge family, and his life-saving methods were also numerous, making it not easy to kill him.
In short, breaking in at this moment was indeed extremely perilous, a desperate gamble with scant chances of survival.
However, if the Zhuge, Duanmu, Giant Sword Manor, Ji Family, and Zhang Family formed an alliance to target the other three families, then it would be the perfect opportunity to head to the Duanmu Family to rescue Tong Yunshu.
What to do?
Yang Fei fell into a brief dilemma.
Seeing Yang Fei’s serious expression, as if pondering some important matter, and thinking about his insane idea of breaking into the Hidden Sect, Helian Rong also couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
This guy really seemed to care about the woman named Tong Yunshu.
To think that he would consider such a risky move as entering the Hidden Sect through this passage just to save her was too dangerous.
However, this guy was not mindless; although this action seemed extremely perilous, it actually posed no great danger as long as he bet correctly.
If those five families united to take action against the other three, they would certainly aim for a swift and decisive victory; the faster, the better. Following this logic, the Zhuge family would soon mobilize a large number of elite warriors, with several Divine Travel Realm experts likely to be in action. In that case, Zhuge Manor wouldn’t be particularly dangerous.
Once they broke away from the Zhuge family, heading to the Duanmu Family at full speed, the Duanmu Family would still be vulnerable internally, and at that time, the chances of success in rescuing someone would drastically increase.
"Elder Brother and Brother Helian, I would like to give it a try."
After a moment of contemplation, Yang Fei looked determinedly at Wang Chunyang and Helian Zhan, and spoke, "Please guard this spot, elders. I want to go and see for myself."
Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang both frowned, but their eyes also showed a hint of admiration; they thought this young man was brave and daring, a trait much to their liking.
"Have you thought this through? If they haven’t acted yet, or if a Divine Travel Realm powerhouse stays behind, entering the Hidden Sect from here will be like walking into death," Helian Zhan couldn’t help but remind him.
He truly admired the young man.
Moreover, this young man was the last hope for curing his daughter’s stubborn illness; he did not wish for Yang Fei to lose his life.
Yang Fei had already weighed his options clearly. With his current strength, even if Zhuge Cang stayed behind to guard the Zhuge family, he still had the power to fight. Moreover, he was not going in a do-or-die attempt; he just needed to escape from the Zhuge family’s estate.
As for the Array Formation Talisman Tao methods that Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang worried about, he was not too concerned, as he had some expertise in these two areas.
What he feared most was that all the strong members of the Zhuge family would be at home.
"Wait one day," said Yang Fei. "If they start making their move, then after one day, the people from the Zhuge family should have left."
Wang Chunyang nodded silently and said, "Exactly. If an action has to be taken, it should be quick and decisive to seize the initiative. They won’t delay too long."
Helian Zhan glanced at Wang Chunyang and asked, "Brother Wang supports him going in?"
Wang Chunyang said, "It’s not that I support his going in, but he is determined to rescue his beloved. Given that, why not let him try? If the Zhuge family truly is unguarded, let the young man come back once more, then you and I can enter and annihilate the Zhuge family first, how about that?"
Helian Zhan had clearly thought of this point before; upon hearing this, he glanced at Yang Fei, pondered a little, and said, "Let’s wait one more day."
Wang Chunyang nodded, "Right, let’s wait a bit and see if anyone comes out. With one day’s time, Qin Yanyang should be able to accomplish quite a bit. If she can shift the situation in Divine Continent, and the Zhuge family is indeed unguarded, then there’s no need for us to stand guard here. We might as well return to the Hidden Sect together later."
Helian Zhan nodded slowly, his opinion now aligned with Wang Chunyang’s, then looked toward Yang Fei: "Next, it depends on your wife’s control over the secular world of Divine Continent."
Yang Fei looked westward, feeling a quiet anticipation within him.
Without the strong members from the Hidden Sect, for Qin Yanyang, the network led by the Chu and Imperial City’s Duanmu families shouldn’t pose much of an obstacle.
At that moment, a buzzing sound came faintly from the distance.
Yang Fei was already very familiar and sensitive to this sound. His pupils contracted suddenly, his expression turning serious as he looked toward the distance.
Sure enough, a dense swarm of tiny black dots appeared.
Drones and helicopters were quickly converging from all directions.
Perhaps it was the three Innate Realm experts who had escaped earlier informing the Chu or Duanmu families, or perhaps it was Yang Fei having Zhang Qingyang connect with the Western War Zone that aroused suspicions among those in the military of the Chu family. Either way, the enemy had deployed a large, modern military force.
In a helicopter, Duanmu Gong, looking anxious, said to a senior military officer opposite him, "Hurry up, lock onto the transmission gateway and fire missiles. With this level of bombardment, they should get the signal over there and realize that something big is happening outside. We have to be quick!"
This military officer was Chu Tianxing, a blood brother to Chu Tianshu. Ever since Chu Que and Chu Tianshu were slain by Yang Fei on Yunwu Mountain, the Chu family had lost two high-ranking military commanders. Chu Tianxing, originally lacking the age and experience to serve as a major general, was now exceptionally promoted during this critical period to become a major general stationed in Imperial City.
"Position the coordinates, request to use the missile system," ordered Chu Tianxing decisively.
Although he was only thirty-nine and had just been exceptionally promoted, his military acumen was indeed high, decisive and brave. It was only because he had several elder brothers and there were limitations under the Divine Continent’s system that he previously had no room for advancement.
Soon, his aide reported: "General, the coordinates have been locked, and Meishan Mountain is now within the surveillance of the national defense satellite. Authorization for weapon use has been granted. Awaiting your orders."
"Fire!" A flicker of determination flashed in Chu Tianxing’s eyes as he gave the order.
