Elder Yang looked at He Liancheng and the other powerful individuals, with each of their terrifying auras far surpassing Yang Zhengyi. He now realized that Yang Chen’s abilities had already far exceeded his own imagination. Any further attempt to dissuade Yang Chen would be unwise.
When Yang Chen heard He Liancheng’s words, he said, “We have to find a way to negotiate with the Horse-thief Gang.”
“Why bother with negotiations? Just kill them all!” A bodyguard responded.
He Liancheng replied, “Young Master Yang, although it might be reckless to simply attack them head-on, I don’t see any problems with it.”
Yang Chen said with a bitter smile, “I naturally understand Commander He’s thoughts. However, caution is the best policy. Our Yang family members are still in the hands of the Horse-thief Gang. If we recklessly attack them and push them to the point of no return, they might vent their anger on our family members, and that is something I don’t want to see.”
Hearing this, He Liancheng was startled and then laughed, “I was too hasty and didn’t consider all the possibilities.”
“It’s not your fault, Commander He,” Yang Chen said, not taking it to heart.
“So, what do you mean by negotiations, Young Master Yang?” Commander He asked curiously.
“It’s simple. They’ve captured our Yang family members, so we’ll capture their Horse-thief Gang members,” Yang Chen gritted his teeth, “This is called ‘fighting fire with fire.’ Under the current circumstances, the only person who can force the Gang Leader to negotiate with me is their Second Master.”
Elder Yang was shocked, “Yang Chen, are you trying to capture the Second Master alive?”
Yang Chen nodded, “If I don’t negotiate with the Gang Leader, rescuing so many Yang family members unharmed won’t be an easy task. Therefore, the best course of action now is to lure the Gang Leader out and then find a way to eliminate him.’
“Right now, all the major tribes are struggling for survival, and to defeat the Horse-thief Gang, we’ll need a trump card in our hands. When push comes to shove, this card will come in handy,” he added.
Elder Yang couldn’t help but ask, “So, what should we do now?”
“We go to the Zhang Family. Didn’t you just say that the Second Master is working with Wang Dachui of the Wang Family to force the Zhang Family to the brink of destruction? We’re going to the Zhang Family now,” Yang Chen declared firmly.
When Yang Chen arrived near the Zhang Family, he could already see the flames of battle ahead. His divine soul power swept over the area, and he caught sight of the battered Zhang Family, with numerous bandits rampaging inside. The tragic scene was difficult to describe.
Looking at all this, Yang Chen’s anger burned like a raging inferno. He clenched his fists and quickly noticed some disturbances in his soul scan.
“Is it her?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.
Within the scope of his soul scan, he spotted a woman desperately trying to escape. She was none other than Zhang Yingeruo, who he had met before.
The first time he met Zhang Yingeruo, she secretly watched him entering the
Zhang Family. He was aware of her presence but chose to ignore it. Since Zhang Rufeng had introduced her as a prospective marriage partner, he had a deep impression of her. Now, seeing her fleeing for her life, he couldn’t help but take notice.
“Has the Zhang Family truly fallen?” Yang Chen’s divine soul power couldn’t provide a complete view of the situation. As he focused on Zhang Yingeruo, he promptly descended from the sky.
At this moment, Zhang Yingeruo no longer possessed the grace and composure she once had. Stained with blood, her eyes brimmed with unshed tears. She wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold on, to prevent her tears from falling.
War arrived swiftly and ruthlessly, and the Zhang Family was just a small shrimp caught up in its tide.
She went from heaven to hell in an instant.
But within a mere five days, too many things had changed.Zhang Family
Ancestor was besieged and killed in an instant by the Horse-thief Gang’s Second Master and Wang Dachui of the Wang Family. The Zhang Family lost its former glory overnight as the horse bandits invaded, killing and looting, with the Zhang family members scattered and fleeing. She was targeted by the horse bandits while escaping with a group of Zhang family members.
Her father, mother, and brother all died on the spot to protect her. With their lives, they bought her time, allowing her to flee this far.
But where could she escape to?
Zhang Yingruo staggered as she fled, but she could clearly sense the pursuit of her enemies from behind.
She tried to hold back her tears, but they still fell involuntarily from her face.
She knew very well the fate that awaited her if she were captured by those bandits. The pitiful state of the women from the Zhang family who fell into the hands of the Horse-thief Gang, she could never forget, and she dared not imagine what would happen to her if she ended up in their hands.
“Haha, little girl, where are you running to?” Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her.
The sound sank into Zhang Yingruo’s ears, deepening her despair.
In the blink of an eye, four or five bandits blocked her way.
Zhang Yingruo trembled as she stared at the bandits in front of her, her face
pale. Biting her lip, she said, “Don’t come any closer.”
“Haha, little lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Yingruo, you’re so pretty. Don’t worry. Brother won’t bully you. Why don’t you marry me, and serve me in the future? I promise I won’t let you suffer.” The leading bandit laughed maliciously.
“No, Brother Liu, you can’t have her all to yourself. This girl is for all of us.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingruo’s face showed even more despair. She was the number one female genius of the Zhang family and was known for her decisiveness. Resolved, she suddenly brandished a dagger, intending to slit her throat.
However, just as she was about to commit suicide, a great force suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped her.
“Want to kill yourself? Haha, have you asked our permission? Don’t be in a hurry. Wait until we’re done having fun with you, and then you can kill yourself.” The bandit laughed, then called out, “Take off her clothes for me; this pretty little girl is rare. She’s ours now.”
Zhang Yingruo shed tearful humiliation. Was she not even allowed to commit suicide?
As the bandits drew closer, she cried out in anguish.
“Who will save me, who will save me?” Zhang Yingruo screamed.
Just as her cries fell, an intense pressure suddenly descended, as if a great mountain pressed down. A powerful wave of True Qi was released, and the bandits who had been entangled with her were instantly disintegrated into thin air. Their bodies were turned to dust.
Then, a man appeared before her like a heavenly god.
It’s unnerving to write this. I haven’t done the math, but there should be thirty more chapters.
Phew… Thirty chapters, that’s a massive undertaking for me.
After today, I will strive to update at least four chapters every day. Yes, that’s right, four chapters. The additional chapters will depend on your support. For every day that the recommendation votes exceed 200, I will add one more chapter; for every day that a single donation of more than 100 yuan is received, I will add two more chapters; and if the donation is over 1,000 yuan, I will add twenty chapters..
