Chapter 174 - Ambush
”Okay,” Lu Feng grunted and said, ”what do you need me to do? I just have to clarify, I am not willing to die for this, I know I am not strong enough to help!” He was sure that he would just become a burden in a combat with the Lu's powerful reinforcement.
”We are an alliance, I know I should be encouraging you right now but I think your decision to fight them is questionable.” He continued, ”well, frankly, I would call it recklessness.”
”I did not expect you to help me fight them off, and that is okay, I will need you to lookout for me, if you see danger from a distance while I am attacking, I need you to send me a message on the badge,” Ye Wei spoke each word clearly, ”of course, you can fight them if you feel confident, just do it as clean as possible whether it be an escape or an ambush, we can't let them know who we are!”
”I will just kill as many as possible, make them panic, use the element of surprise, avoid them from communicating with one another.”
Ye Wei paused for a while, watched the ripples spread on the pond's surface as the breeze swept across.”What about Lu Ren, have you heard anything from the returned prime level elders?” He frowned, ”actually, could this be a trap, maybe they want to lure the people responsible for his disappearance with the reinforcement?”
”Not possible, they are suspecting something yes, but as long as they cannot confirm Lu Ren's death, they have better things to worry about, you have to remember they are managing the Lu's all around the area,” Lu Feng grunted and chuckled, ”we have another week before the sandalwood box's effect wears off.”
Lu Feng placed his hand onto his chest to make sure the box was still in his possession.”After his spirit flame dies down, we will have a few days before the news reaches Green Moon City, only then should we worry about the two elders.”
“If they do find out about Lu Ren’s death, will they interfere?” Ye Wei paused slightly and then spoke.
“The two returned prime level elders only care about the Drakehead, they will probably see Lu Ren’s death as a necessary sacrifice to get to the Drakehead.” Lu Feng just tried his best to summarize, retell what he saw and heard “When I last met them they were busy shouting at the other Lu’s, making sure they would keep the secret.”
‘As long as the returned prime Warriors are not there to help I should be able to make an impact one way or another.’ thought Ye Wei, his eyes brightened up, “However, the returned prime elders will come after I kill more of the ten-star condensed prime Warriors.”
‘So he is serious about it!? Are we going to have to fight the elders?’ Lu Feng’s face turned ashen, he did not think that far.
Lu Feng’s concern was written all over his face as he realized his partner's intentions. They both became silent.
‘He didn’t want my help. He summoned me here to talk about how we should clean up after he ambushed the Lu’s force on his own!’
The Lu’s condensed prime Warrior reinforcements were now close to the Drakehead, if left alive, they would be at the Drakehead in ten days; if killed, the the elders stationed at Green Moon City might intervene.
Ye Wei and Lu Feng’s operation was caught in a dilemma.
“I have one way to mess with the Lu’s and that would be announcing the Drakehead’s location, and let the other martial families fight.” Lu Feng’s lips were becoming pale, his frown grew deeper, We will crush the Lu’s at their weakest!”
“I will not allow that! It will do us no good, I am not going to risk losing control over the Drakehead, it’s my family’s land, my ancestor's treasure!” Ye Wei’s gaze intensified. “Green Moon City is going to become a mess, would you like to see your home becoming a war zone?”
“Pfft! Do you think your plan is better than mine?” Lu Feng grunted, he was more interested in revenge than anything else, to sabotage than to be constructive.
“Any plan is better than your plan!” Ye Wei stared at Lu Feng, surprised how someone could be affected by rage and revenge to such extend. “We are alive because of we are in control of the place, if they took over we won’t stand a chance to fight them by force.”
“As I suggested, I will assassinate as much of them as I can, I will buy us time and we shall improvise from there, be patient!” Ye Wei replied, he believed the underwater palace held the key to him evolving Supernova stance.
When Ye Wei managed to evolve the Supernova stance, he would have the power to fight a returned prime Warrior, if he then acquired gadgets and tricks from the Runemaster Union and the Glacial Temple, he would even be able to stand his ground while fighting against the best cultivators in the Lu family regardless of age.
As Ye Wei realized he there were more imporant matters to focus on, he decided not to tell Lu Feng about the underwater palace he discovered.
“I guess that is for the best.” Lu Feng nodded, realized Ye Wei’s decision was the sensible one. He decided to trust his calm and collected partner, to protect their secret.
The sun set into the west sea, darkness descended, the thick clouds covered the silvery moon, Ye Wei stood up, freshened by the cool evening breeze.
“Let’s move!” After covering his face by a black disguise, his ghostly figure shot out, headed straight towards where the Lu’s men set camp.
“Hope it will all goes according to plan!” Lu Feng ground his teeth and followed. He kept a distance, tried to remember all the little things he was told to do.
