Chapter 168: Chenxin Seems To Have Gone Astray

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone looked towards the sky upon hearing Ye Qiubai’s words.

Two figures were rushing over.

A man and a woman in red robes. Their faces were exquisite, and there was a hint of heroic spirit in their eyes.

The woman was like a Valkyrie on the battlefield while the other person carried a basket of books and looked like a scholar. They were naturally Hong Ying and Ning Chenxin!

Ye Qiubai went forward and smiled. “Why are you here?”

Ning Chenxin smiled gently and said, “1 heard that the situation is not optimistic, so I came to help you.”

Hong Ying also said, “I have something to investigate.”

Ye Qiubai nodded. “You’ve helped me a lot. Coincidentally, the Northern Region Alliance’s strength is really not enough now.”

Everyone could tell from their conversations that these three people were all fellow disciples of the same sect!

Ye Qiubai was already so strong, how weak could his junior brothers and sisters be?

However, what made everyone curious was who their master was.

Wu Deshi also walked forward with a smile and said, “Thank you for your help.”

“But time is of the essence. Let’s discuss the countermeasures first.”

Everyone walked to the array disc.

Since they were from the same sect as Ye Qiubai, everyone naturally wouldn’t doubt him.

Moreover, it was not appropriate to have internal strife during this war time.

They understood this principle.

Those who could be in the meeting hall were all core figures of every sect and family.

Hong Ying walked forward to take a look. After Ye Qiubai’s explanation, she understood the situation.

Hence, he suggested, “What we need now is information.”

Information.

Being in a war without information is like being blind in the dark.

Even though the Northern Region Alliance had scouts, they could not scout too far away lest they be killed by the other party!

Similarly, on the Sunset Monarchy’s side, after the ambush, a scout had already been set up outside the Valley of Heaven’s Wrath.

As long as the Northern Region Alliance left the Valley of Heaven’s Wrath and took action, the other party would know!

Wu Deshi looked at Hong Ying and said, “Our scouts have a limited range.”

Hong Ying said nonchalantly, “Leave the investigation to us.”

“All of you?”

Hong Ying looked at Ning Chenxin and Ye Qiubai and said, “We can go.”

“We are naturally unable to plan now that we lack information.”

Ye Qiubai nodded. The lack of information, the disparity in strength, caused him to be unable to make any plans.

That alone was enough to make the Northern Region Alliance defend to the death and not take the initiative to attack.

Everyone looked at each other.

The other party was Ye Qiubai’s junior sister. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be as strong as Ye Qiubai.

However, the woman did not panic at all. Her expression was indifferent, as if she had already confirmed that the investigation was successful when she said those words.

The Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect advised, “Do you want more people?”

The meaning in his words was very clear. The Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect was not very confident in their strength.

Once they were discovered by the other party’s main force, there might be casualties!

Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “There’s no need. The three of us can do it.”

“If there are too many people, the target will be too big and we will be easily discovered.”

Hong Ying wasn’t as tactful as Ye Qiubai. She said, “You’ll only be a burden if you go when you’re not strong enough,.”

Hong Ying was an ancient empress; there was no need to be sensitive about anyone else’s thoughts.

Ye Qiubai and Ning Chenxin looked at each other helplessly.

Everyone frowned slightly when they heard that.

Isn’t that a little too arrogant?

Someone advised, “The Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect is doing this for your own good.”

“I’m telling the truth.”

Everyone’s expressions could not help but turn ugly.

They were the core figures of a large sect after all, to be told by a “junior” that they were not strong enough, they were naturally unhappy about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Deshi immediately tried to smooth things over. “Alright, it’s just an investigation. Nothing will happen. Qiubai, I’ll leave this mission to the three of you.”

Ye Qiubai nodded.

“Then let’s set off immediately.”

The three of them did not need to prepare anything.

Hong Ying also took out treasure cloaks to conceal their auras and handed them to Ye Qiubai and Ning Chenxin.

Its level was not low.

She still had this bit of foundation as an empress.

The three of them donned cloaks and sneaked out of the Valley of Heaven’s Wrath.

Ye Qiubai said, “The three armies of the Sunset Monarchy are all on the other side of the Great Rift Valley.”

Hong Ying nodded and said, “In war, there will be backup supplies.”

“Somewhere behind the army, there will definitely be a place to refine pills.”

“We’ll just destroy that position.”

The two of them froze.

Weren’t they just scouting? Why did it become a sneak attack again?

Hong Ying smiled and said, “Senior Brother, with our strength, we can’t just investigate. That would be too wasteful.”

Ye Qiubai smiled bitterly. “As long as you’re happy.”

He really could not do anything to this junior sister and he had to take the blame for her…

The group crossed the wild plains at an extremely fast speed.

Along the way, they discovered the scouts of the Sunset Monarchy, but they did not kill them.

They did not want to alert the enemy.

At this moment, at the location of the Great Rift Valley.

On the other side, there was an army stationed.

They had learned their lesson after the last ambush, after all.

In order to prevent another ambush, a team was set up here.

Hong Ying looked from afar.

One could see that the people in the army had black gas flowing on the surface of their bodies.

Seeing this, Hong Ying could not help but frown slightly.

Such a method… seemed like deja vu.

Ning Chenxin asked, “How do we get there?”

Hong Ying looked around.

There was only one way to cross the Great Rift Valley, that was to fly over.

On the other hand, the other party was almost on guard every five steps.

They would be discovered by the other party as long as they were in the air.

Suddenly, Hong Ying turned to look at Ye Qiubai.

Ning Chenxin also looked over.

Ye Qiubai was stunned.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Wh-what?”

Hong Ying smiled and said, “Thank you, Big Senior Brother.”

“The other party already knows you after all. It’s best if you’re the bait.”

“Don’t worry. You just need to attract the firepower as a tank.”

Ye Qiubai:”…”

Why did he feel that this junior sister of his did not treat him as a human? However, what she said made sense! He couldn’t refute it!

Ning Chenxin nodded and said, “Senior Sister is right. The other party only knows you, Senior Brother. They are not familiar with us.”

“Therefore, Senior Brother, you will lure the enemy while we head to the rear of the army. This is the safest way.”

Ye Qiubai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Chenxin, I just realized that you’ve been led astray.”

Ning Chenxin tilted his head. “Am I?”

Seeing this scene, Hong Ying smiled.

This junior brother of hers seemed to have the potential to be two-faced.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai could only smile bitterly and say, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll do it. When the time comes, find an opportunity to sneak in.”

With that, Ye Qiubai pulled out the Dark Demon Sword.

He flipped his palm.

Sword Domain activated!

At the same time, he stepped on the Sword Intent River and floated in the air.

The Dark Demon Sword in his hand slashed out!

A black slash slashed towards the opponent of the Great Rift Valley!

“Enemy attack!!”
