Chapter 366: Wolf Gang


    Activating his movement technique, Yang Wei quickly arrived at the scene where Lian Xinyue and Meng Yan were struggling to fend off against the assassins.


    “Meng Yan, cover the left area. I’ll watch over the right side.” Lian Xinyue shouted as she injected her sword with spiritual qi.


    Meng Yan didn’t bother saying any nonsense as she took out her whip and red at the assassin.


    “You people are really gutsy. Do you even know who I am?” Meng Yan snorted coldly.


    The assassinsughed heartily when they heard Meng Yan’s question.


    “Hahaha, the lovely princess and daughter of the Phoenix Sky Sect, Meng Pao. Who doesn’t know about your prestigious identity?”


    “s, so what if she has such a prestigious identity in a small kingdom. They are worthless in our eyes.”


    Meng Yan gritted her teeth when she realized the assassins should most likely belong to another kingdom or enemy.


    “Save it, youngdies, your strength is extremelyughable, and if it weren’t because we were told not to injure you. Then you wouldn’t have managed to struggle for this long.” One of the assassins said as he nced at Lian Xinyue.


    “Our target is only Meng Yan and not you. If you are a clever person, then you can quickly leave and we won’t chase after you.”


    Lian Xinyue sneered coldly when she heard his words.


    “Save your crap, bitch. I may be fighting with Meng Yan all the time, but I’m not some coward that would leave her behind and run.” Lian Xinyue yelled as she hacked her sword against him.


    The assassin quickly dodged her technique as he shook his head in disappointment.


    “What a shame then, we were only told not to harm Meng Yan, but you’re different.” The assassin said calmly as he raised his hand up.


    “Kill her.” He ordered.


    However, just as the other assassin tried to attack Lian Xinyue, Yang Wei appeared behind him as he pierced his heart with the Lightbane.


    BANG!


    The assassin coughed out a mouthful of blood as he turned lifeless.


    “Yang Wei!” Both Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue called out in surprise as they went behind him.


    “Sorry, I was a bitte because there were some other assassins hiding in the shadows.” Yang Wei apologized as he held his Lightbane up.


    “You were talking a lot, so I’m guessing you’re the leader, right?” Yang Wei asked as he pointed his Lightbane toward the assassin, who had tried to convince Lian Xinyue to the run.


    “Hehe, that’s right, Yang Wei. Due to your merit in humiliating the Purple Scorpion Sect, I shall be generous enough to proim my name to you. People call me Chen Qing and I’m a member of the Wolf Gang.” The assassin, Chen Qing, said politely with a big smile on his face.


    “Wolf Gang?” Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.


    He had never heard of the Wolf Gang before, so he turned around to look at Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue.


    However, they also shook their heads as they had never heard of such a gang before.


    “Which kingdom did youe from?” Yang Wei asked.


    “Kingdom?” Chen Qing suddenlyughed aloud as he retrieved two daggers.


    “I have already given you some face by telling my name. Any more and you will have to use your life to pay.” He added.


    Yang Wei smirked as he took a step forward and determination soon brimmed his eyes.


    “Then I would really want to see how you will take my life as payment.” Yang Wei said as he propelled himself toward him.


    With an arc sh, Yang Wei hacked the Lightbane down toward Chen Qing.


    Chen Qing’s eyes flinched for a moment as he blocked the strike with his two daggers.


    Afterward, he roared aloud, “Capture Meng Yan and leave Yang Wei to me.”


    “You wish it was that easy,” Meng Yan sneered coldly as she retrieved a spiritual treasure from her storage ring.


    Activating the spiritual treasure, Meng Yan easily deflected the attacks from the other assassins.


    Meanwhile, Lian Xinyueunched three fireworks into the sky, calling for reinforcement.


    The fighting soon turned intense as neither side had gained an advantage.


    “Yang Wei, you do not wish to be enemies with our Wolf Gang,” Chen Qing said as he swung his daggers.


    “And you do not want to be my enemy either.” Yang Wei sneered as he easily deflected his strike and activated his Ster Soul.


    To be able to act this outrageously in public, Yang Wei dared not to underestimate Chen Qing or the assassins.


    Thus, he will quickly use his strongest technique to fight against them.


    Time slowly passed by and Chen Qing soon detected multiple guards arriving.


    ‘Damn it, our n was supposed to be perfect. We even made sure tounch a surprise attack when that Elder Jing and Yang Wei were away.’ Chen Qing cursed inwardly at the current situation.


    As much as he wanted to capture Meng Yan alive, he couldn’t do so with Yang Wei blocking his every move.


    “Yang Wei, I’ll remember this debt.” Chen Qing shouted in anger as he whistled aloud.


    “Retreat everyone!” Chen Qing ordered.


    With his order, the other assassins quickly flee the scene.


    “Don’t think you can leave easily,” Lian Xinyue shouted as she tried to chase after them.


    However, Yang Wei quickly held her by the wrist as he shook his head.


    “Don’t chase after them, Lian Xinyue.” Yang Wei said.


    “Why not? We were able to fend them off and reinforcement is about to arrive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have run away this quickly.”


    “It’s not that simple, Lian Xinyue. Although I was able to fight equally with Chen Qing, I can subtly tell he was hiding his true power.”


    Lian Xinyue raised an eyebrow.


    “H-How is that possible, Yang Wei?” Lian Xinyue stuttered in disbelief.


    “It’s possible… We have just met and he already seemed to know everything about us.” Yang Wei said as he held a solemn expression.


    “Remember how he easily recognized me and knew exactly what kind of techniques I have? If it weren’t for my quick-witted moves, I bet he would have already defeated me.”


    Meng Yan nodded her head.


    “Indeed, those assassins are extremely prepared, and if we were to chase after them blindly… I fear that we might be stepping into their trap.” Meng Yan said.


    Hearing the two of them, Lian Xinyue could only nod her head.


    “Damn it, I will definitely remember this vengeance.” Lian Xinyue cursed aloud.


    Sometimeter, Shan Zhn and Jing Feng arrived at the scenes with multiple guards.


    “Disciples Meng Yan, Lian Xinyue, are you two alright?” Shan Zhn asked as she scanned around the surroundings.


    “We’re alright, Elder Shan.”


    “Yeah, those assassins proimed themselves as someone from the Wolf Gang. Did Elder Shan and Elder Jing ever hear of them?”


    “Wolf Gang?” Shan Zhn raised an eyebrow before her expression suddenly changed.


    Tilting her head, she stared at Jing Feng who nodded her head calmly.


    “So it’s them, huh…” Shan Zhn muttered as she held a grave expression.


    “Who are they exactly, Elder Shan?” Meng Yan took a step forward as she asked them. “They were trying to capture me, so please tell me anything you know.”


    “The Wolf Gang wanted to capture you?” Shan Zhn held a dumbfounded expression.


    Meanwhile, Jing Feng nced at Yang Wei as she asked softly, “Yang Wei, have you interacted with them?”


    Yang Wei nodded his head.


    “One person from there said his name was Chen Qing and it seemed like he knew about me already.” Yang Wei said.


    A few minutester, Yang Wei recounted their experience to them.


    Jing Feng held a grave expression as she turned around and told the guards to report this incident to the Sect Tournament organizer.


    “Rest assured, Elder Jing. Our Ling City will definitely not allow an attack like this to happen to one of the participants.” One of the guards said as he retreated to the scene to report the incident to his superior.


    “Everyone had already returned to the Ivory Hotel for safety reasons. We should also remain in the Ivory Hotel until further notice.” Shan Zhn said.


    While heading back, Yang Wei tugged on Jing Feng’s sleeve as he asked what had happened in the Flowery Restaurant.


    Since he had left in a hurry back then, he doesn’t know the damages done in it.


    “Are you asking about the Flowery Restaurant or Yan Meixu specifically?”


    “C-Can’t I say both? I’m merely asking about her safety as an acquaintance and nothing else.”


    Jing Feng shrugged her shoulders.


    “You can rest assured then. Yan Meixu wasn’t even in the Flowery Restaurant, to begin with. ording to some staff there, Yan Meixu had long left Ling City after the Wang n’s incident.” Jing Feng said.


    “I see…”


    Sometimeter, the group arrived back at the Ivory Hotel and a person was waiting for them.


    “Uncle Huo?” Meng Yan was dumbfounded to see him here.


    Grand Elder Huo held a relieved expression when he saw Meng Yaning back safe and sound.


    He dashed toward her and patted her shoulders.


    “Thank god you are safe, Xiao Yan… I feared that today’s incident must be rted to your father, Meng Pao.”
