C222 retaliation
Outside of the workshop, it was already getting late. Yang Junshan hurried out of the village. Ningxia, Wang Zong and the others were already there. Yang Junshan was the only one left.
"Why did you come back at such a time? Brother Ning and I have been waiting for such a long time!" Wang Zong's tone carried a hint of complaint.
During this period of time, due to Liu Zhifei's domineering control, the whole Third Squad had maintained a friendly relationship with each other. However, this didn't mean that they didn't get along well with each other.
With a magical equipment in hand and a spiritual technique inheritance, he had already reached the second level of the Martial Disciple realm at the age of eighteen, and was even favored by Liu Zhifei, the leader of the team. He even gave him the meritorious military service of the human head, which made Wang Zong, who was also at the second level of the cultivation, feel jealous in his heart, and when he thought back to when he was eighteen, he remembered that he was still running all over the place to become a Martial Disciple.
Wang Zong didn't have the guts to fight with Yang Junshan, but he did think of borrowing the momentum from the Ning Family's traditional influence. Although in the past few years, the Ning Family had been affected by the giant locust swarm, followed by the invasion of the Sirius Sect, so their influence had been greatly reduced, but since the Ning Family was a hunchback and the Ning Family was larger than a horse, Wang Zong could curry favor from the third team. Since this was so, he would rather light up his own medicine, so naturally, Wang Zong wouldn't give up on this fake opportunity.
Yang Junshan glanced at Wang Zong with a smiling expression, then turned to Ningxia and said, "Meeting someone I know, I couldn't help but say a few words. Sorry for troubling you so much."
Wang Zong opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a smile from Ningxia beside him. "It's alright. We just arrived too."
Wang Zong's expression changed, but in the end, he swallowed his words back.
When everyone returned to the foothold, they saw Liu Zhifei running in circles anxiously while Xiong Xiyi standing beside him with the same indifferent expression on his face.
"Senior brother Liu, what happened? Did I come back too late?" she asked after noticing the scene in front of her. Why don't you inform us using the communication talisman? "
Liu Zhifei didn't directly answer Ning Huo's question. Instead, he asked, "How is Luo Bingkun's injury?"
Ning Tian said, "Sister Zhou said that Junior Zhang has already concocted a Soul Protecting Pill for him. He will be back in three days or so, and his strength won't be affected at all. However, the skin on his back is probably burnt."
"Junior brother Zhang?" "Zhang Yue Ming?"
Liu Zhifei's face finally revealed a trace of joy, "That's good, Luo Bingkun's luck is not bad, in the past two days we've finally heard some good news. I didn't expect that Junior Zhang would be able to concoct a pill of the spirit rank like the Soul Protecting Pill, he is indeed worthy of being the number one genius of our sect."
Then, Liu Zhifei retracted the happy look on his face, and said seriously, "Let's talk about proper matters. The more I think about it these few days, the more I feel like I've been set up by the Sirius Sect. I can't take this lying down, we have to take our revenge."
Ning Fen frowned and said, "But didn't we hear that Daoist Master Chen of Mengyu County wanted to open up a discussion area at the border? He wants the border guards to do their best to restrain themselves?"
"Restraining my ass!"
Liu Zhifei suddenly became angry, but then he seemed to realize something and forcefully restrained his anger. He said, "Even if we restrain ourselves, what if we have a chance?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Zhifei meant. Xiong Xiyi, who had been standing silently at the side, suddenly shouted, "F * ck!"
Ning Fa looked at Xiong Xi and said, "If the opportunity is really suitable, we will naturally not let it go. I just don't know what is the opportunity that Senior Brother Liu is talking about?"
Only now could it be seen that, although there were ten people in Squad Three, only Liu Zhifei, Ningxia and Xiong Xi Yi were able to make a decision. The other seven only wore a pair of ears.
Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Zhifei immediately became excited. He said, "I have been secretly monitoring the security of the Sirius Sect border guard team through the warning talisman for the past few days. I have gradually discovered some patterns. We might as well do some work here."
Ning Fen knew that Liu Zhifei never did anything without preparation. Seeing him act this way, she already knew that he had some confidence, so she asked, "What's the rule?"
Liu Zhifei said, "Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a rule. It's just that in the past few days, we've used the interval of the Sirius Sect's patrols to roughly deduce the Sirius Sect's position in Ling Zhang County."
Xiong Xiyi furrowed her brows and said, "Attack the stronghold?"
Liu Zhifei shook his head and laughed, "Of course not. Fighting at the foothold is not something our little group can do. Even with the fifth and seventh squads, it won't be possible."
Ning Fu was somewhat confused. "Then senior brother Liu's meaning is …"
After unfolding it, he saw a map of the southern border of Mengyu County. He pointed to the two spots on the map and said, "This place is approximately the base of two of our Heavenly Wolf School's patrolling teams. Look at this place, the border is caved in towards Mengyu County, and when the Heavenly Wolf School's patrolling team is here, they are even further away from our base."
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively to his plan, Liu Zhifei became even more excited. He said, "Since this is a valley, we can hide our tracks the moment before the battle begins. As long as we determine when they will patrol this valley, we can block them off in the valley."
After a long while, he said, "This will indeed catch them off guard, but it will only catch them off guard. Unless the leader of the Celestial Wolf Sect is confused, they will definitely choose to break out of the encirclement at the first moment, and our third squad alone can't stop them."
Liu Zhifei said, "I also don't think that we can surround the Celestial Wolf Sect's team like what happened to Squad Five earlier. Besides, after the previous battle, both sides were much more careful, so finding that kind of opportunity is impossible. Our advantage is just a bit more mental preparation."1
"That is to say, we will have to see how much success the two sides will achieve in that instant. After that, once the Sirius Sect's border guard team leaves, even if we want to stop them, we will be unable to do so, unless we are attacked by two teams that have an absolute advantage in strength like last time."
Xiong Xi Yi shook her head and said, "Impossible!"
Liu Zhifei also said, "That's right, ever since Squad Five suffered heavy losses last time, both sides have increased their surveillance of each other. If our squad pretended to be on guard as we slowly approached, then the other side wouldn't be alarmed. If it was two squads on patrol at the same time, the other side would have discovered us before we even left the stronghold."
Ning Yan said, "A small team against a small team. That way, whether or not we can kill the enemy cultivators will depend on our luck."
Liu Zhifei bitterly smiled, "Indeed. If we are lucky, we might be able to kill one or two before the other side can react. If we are unlucky, we might only be able to scare them.
Hearing the discussion between the three, Yang Junshan couldn't help but ask, "What if there is an array?"
Wang Zong finally seized the opportunity and taunted with a sneer, "That's easy to say. Little Yang, do you know what an array master means? How could it be so easy to find one? "You are just standing there and talking without feeling any pain at all!"
Xiong Xiyi narrowed her eyes and looked at Yang Junshan meaningfully. Liu Zhifei was a little displeased, "If there was an array master, wouldn't it be a waste of time? But where should we go to find an array master?" "Even if we find them, who knows how long it would take. Moreover, each and every one of those array masters are extremely arrogant, the price of asking them to help is probably even greater than the reward of killing one or two Heavenly Wolf Sect cultivators. It's not worth it!"
Wang Zong chuckled and said, "A formation master is nothing compared to you, Little Yang. A genius like you, it's not impossible to find a few that are stronger than you, but to find a formation master, hehe …"
Yang Junshan looked strangely at Wang Zong, not knowing why he was so against him. However, he didn't put Wang Zong in his eyes and said straightforwardly, "Leave the arrangement of the array to me, you just need to buy me some time. Oh, right, Brother Liu, do you want to wait for Luo Bingkun to come back?"
Everyone, including Liu Zhifei, had their mouths wide open in surprise. Hearing Yang Junshan's question, Liu Zhifei reacted with a "Ah," and said, "Of course we have to wait for Luo Bingkun to return. No, Xiao Yang, Brother Yang, what did you say? Leave the matter of setting up the formation to you? You, could you be an array master? "
Ning Huo was also surprised, "Brother Yang, you're actually an array master? You didn't lie to us right? You can't joke about this! "
"I understand!"
At this time, Zhuang Guangyu suddenly jumped up and said, "There was news a long time ago that the village protection array was set up by a West Mountain village's array master. We didn't believe it at first, but we never thought that it was real. Furthermore, that array master might be you, Little Yang, right?"
At this time, Qi Zhou also said, "I've heard that there's an array master in Xishan Village. I originally thought that this newly merged village was just bluffing, but I didn't expect it to be true …"
Wang Zong's face turned red. Fortunately, everyone was looking at Yang Junshan joyfully, as if they had just met him. No one paid him any attention. Wang Zong mumbled to himself, "Who knows if he will be able to set up the array in time."
