Chapter 129: Chapter 124: I Can’t Sleep Without Killing You Chen (Request for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 129: Chapter 124: I Can’t Sleep Without Killing You Chen (Request for Monthly Ticket) Night dark and winds high, the moon veiled in a thin haze. On Langya Mountain, by the edge of Flying Cliff. “Snap” A chess piece lands on the board, shattering instantly. Then a pair of hands shoves, scattering the pieces all around, “Playing chess, playing goddamn chess.” A suppressed roar rises from a throat. Looking up, Boss Li of the Four Seas Gang, his face dark as water, his eyelids twitch uncontrollably, growing angrier the more he thinks. This is too much! His eyes fiercely widened, he exclaimed angrily: “Xiahou Yuan, is this the ‘influence’ you talked about? I supported you with money, food, troops, and even paid to gather information from the Demon Cult, all that effort, and what’s the result? You haven’t even dared to fart until now. You said you have people, where are they?” As he spoke, he could no longer hold back his anger, and with one palm strike, he shattered the stone table into pieces. Opposite him, Xiahou Yuan, with his head and eyes drooped, remained motionless, the shattered rock fragments completely shut out. He slightly raised his eyelids, “Boss Li didn’t show up last night either. The situation has changed, and Boss Li should vent his anger elsewhere.” On hearing this, Li Jingyun’s face twitched. “Fine, Xiahou Yuan, you speak so lightly. If you’re so capable, why don’t you confront Ninth Mountain’s Colonel then?” “I was fooled by you.” “Now, the man surnamed Xiang is coming to settle scores with me, and you’re here spouting relaxed remarks.” “I’m telling you, you can’t escape from Langya Mountain. That old fox surnamed Xiang, relying on that Chen, is surely using the opportunity to re-establish order and intends to wipe us out, those he dislikes.” “That Chen is not easy to deal with. Today he gave me a blow, preventing me from stepping down. Hmph, ‘Watch the play while riding a donkey,’ this man won’t always be here. Watch and see.” Li Jingyun’s breath became rougher, like an angry lion, giving a cold snort. Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan no longer pretended to be profound, his eyebrows quivered, “Since you know Colonel Chen is not easy to deal with, Boss Li should keep his distance. This man was once under Qingtian, and there’s some old loyalty there. Even if he leaves the Prefecture later, what can you do? Let it go, Boss Li. Better take the Four Seas Gang and leave.” “If we wait for Qingtian to get through this busy period, realize, and communicate with the other party, it may be too late to resolve the situation then!” Hearing this, Li Jingyun’s eyes widened, “Nonsense, I’ve spent thirty years building up this territory, long before Qingtian came here.” With that, he suddenly stood up, looking down at Xiahou Yuan, grinding his molars, “Xiahou Yuan, what’s the matter with you, got scared by last night’s battle? Where’s the old you? Now you speak all this nonsense to me.” Xiahou Yuan recalling last night’s scene, where Chen faced off against and slaughtered four Heavenly Pass Demons with his fierce gaze, instinctively began dodging helplessly left and right. Thinking of this, his face involuntarily twitched, his breath rapidly churning, and the winds roared in the mountains. But remembering something, he suddenly deflated, “Fine, for the sake of Boss Li’s previous help, let Xiahou say no more. I will take my disciples and leave tonight.” “Boss Li, whether you heed my advice is up to you.” “Xiahou Yuan, what madness is this, you actually want to leave, wouldn’t all my investments be wasted?” Li Jingyun was shocked and furious upon hearing that Xiahou intended to leave. “Send him off!” Xiahou Yuan returned to his previous demeanor, his eyes downcast. “You dare!” Li Jingyun’s face changed, his aura exploding, causing the leaves above to tear off. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan stood up, his intense chilling murderous aura rolling out, his eyes faintly observing Li Jingyun. “Does Boss Li intend to fight me?” ........... Minutes later, Li Jingyun, furious, left Langya Mountain. Xiahou Yuan, damn trash! As he left, he would have to abandon the foundation he had fought for decades. How could he be content with that? Soon, he arrived inside the Four Seas Gang, a luxurious courtyard surrounded by pavilions, terraces, and towers, with artificial mountains and flowing water complementing the scene, enclosing the tall building in the center. The lights inside were bright. However, the servants attending to him, the concubines, and the confidants were all nowhere to be seen. His anger boiling, he shouted, but no one responded. “Where are the people, all dead?” He thundered, swinging open the hall doors. “Damn it, could it be that you lot also think this gang leader was...” But the next second, the words in his mouth choked in his throat. He saw in the hall, as if collapsed from drunkenness, his confidants, servants, and maids lay scattered. And at the front, where the light flickered. A figure stood before the hall with eyes closed. In that moment, those eyes opened, the pupils flashing with piercing broken golden light. “Chen... Colonel!” Seeing Chen Yuan appear in his house at this time, Li Jingyun’s previously surging anger was instantly doused with cold water, quickly calming down, his tone swiftly shifting, his expression slightly sinking, “Colonel Chen’s sudden visit, I don’t know how my servants have offended you.” Chen Yuan’s broken golden pupils, tightly fixed on the Four Seas Gang Leader, bared his teeth. “No worries, I just made them experience a dream to observe whether they have done any heinous deeds. Those who haven’t will wake up; as for those who have, I’m afraid they won’t be waking up.” Upon saying this, Li Jingyun’s expression violently changed, unable to hold back any longer, his eyes widened in anger as he roared, “Chen Yuan! You’ve gone too far. We have no grievance nor enmity. I’ve given you face in every way, why are you pushing so relentlessly?” Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Apologies, but I’m naturally cautious and don’t like making enemies. However, the thought that someone might hold a grudge against me keeps me up at night.” Having said this, golden specks swiftly gathered in his eyes, which blazed with a sharp light. His voice turned chillingly cold, “General Xiang told me that your Four Seas Gang is secretly in collusion with the Demon Cult. Coming here to verify it, and just now, your confidant confirmed it for me in the dream.” “Now, I don’t have to worry anymore!” After that declaration, his tone took on a sharp edge, “Because you deserve to die!” The Magic Eye Golden Light suddenly burst forth fiercely, shooting straight towards Li Jingyun. Li Jingyun was prepared, swiftly dodging to the side as he burst into a fit of angry laughter: “Very well, today I shall see for myself how powerful you truly are, powerful enough to make Xiahou Yuan fear you.” While speaking, with a roar, a dragon cry emitted, as a blue water dragon spiraled upwards, enveloping him. As he dodged, the Magic Eye Golden Light hit the tall vermillion gate of the hall. The golden light did not pierce through the gate but swiftly formed a golden film that spread rapidly in all directions. Li Jingyun’s face changed as he guessed Chen Yuan’s intent. Without hesitation, he leaped up, shooting towards the dome of the hall. Suddenly, a cold shout echoed next to his ear. “Who allowed you to move!” The next second, a whooshing sound followed, as a surging energy rapidly smashed towards him. ............... Atop Langya Mountain, Xiahou Yuan stood on Flying Cliff, the sparse moonlight rendering his figure slightly dim. At this moment, several figures successively reached close behind him. Among them, someone bowed with fists clenched, somewhat incredulously asked, “Master, are we really leaving? But you have prepared for so long.” Xiahou Yuan turned around, his eyes conveying a deep and obscure look, “In warfare, one should not vie for temporary length or shortness; it is unwise to stay here knowing the action is futile. We should retreat swiftly when necessary. Do you understand?” “Go, you few, pick some useful people to leave with us.” “What about the others?” asked a disciple in surprise. “Consider them abandoned pieces on the chessboard!” “Master, these are troops that your disciples have trained hard, not to mention, it’s a sizable force; taking them along, where would we have to worry about going?” Xiahou Yuan scolded sharply, “Shut up, to achieve great things, one must know when to let go. How can we leave with thousands of troops and horses? With such a huge commotion, are you...” He didn’t finish his words. Suddenly, a scream tore through the distance. Xiahou Yuan’s expression changed, he stamped his foot, and shot up into the air, looking towards the direction of the sound. The next moment, another voice pierced through like a thorn, causing Xiahou Yuan’s face to dramatically change. “Brother Xiahou, save me.” In the distance, tens of miles away, the headquarters of the Four Seas Gang, the high hall’s dome initially flashed with golden light, then exploded and scattered. Following this, a figure covered in blood burst out and frantically shot towards the direction of Langya Mountain. But he hadn’t flown more than a few hundred meters. A piercing screech broke through the air. A supremely blinding silver gleam instantly pinned him in place. As the person cried out for help before dying, he was completely swallowed by a blaze of golden flames. Subsequently, a figure emerged behind him, yanked out a long spear. And the fiercely burning body, with a whoosh, fell to the ground and scattered like powder. At this moment, far in White Emperor City’s west side, on Langya Mountain, Xiahou Yuan, with those eyes, saw only a dazzling spear’s shadow, the Three-pointed Double-edged Blade. And that voice was Li Jingyun’s. “He didn’t listen to me.” Then his expression wildly changed, “Damn it, he called out my name.” He quickly descended, his face rushed and tense, coldly shouted, “Forget about the others, we need to leave right now!” Saying this, he waved his sleeve, creating a fierce wind that swept up the remaining disciples, while his body transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the western woods, quickly vanishing into the night. Not long after his departure, a streak of light rapidly shot towards Langya Mountain, revealing Chen Yuan’s figure. Using the Dream Transference Divine Ability, from the information provided by the subordinates of the Four Seas Gang, he confirmed this place as Langya Mountain. He had been here last night demolishing Azure Dragon. He recalled, last night, the person dodging from his Magic Eye Golden Light. Was that person Xiahou Yuan? Involved with the Demon Cult, was he also part of it? His eyes blazed with golden light, surveying the mountain up and down, yet found no trace of that person. It seemed this person had already fled!
