Chapter 441: Chapter 164: Earth-Shattering Reversal: Bai Zhi Secretly Delivers Intelligence, Shi Feiyang Slices the Poisonous Spider Woman with His Blade (Part 5)

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, revealing a brilliant smile as she gracefully stepped forward. Her voice was crisp and clear, like a mountain spring: ”Little Sister Bai, come, sit here. Let me introduce you to these Jianghu heroes. See, this is my husband, Shi Feiyang, a man of great martial prowess, renowned throughout the Jianghu. That one is ’Iron Palm’ Wu Zhong, whose iron palms can break mountains—quite formidable! And that one, ’Divine Archer’ Miao Menlong, whose archery is divine, hitting a willow leaf at a hundred paces—anyone would give a thumbs up...”

As she spoke, her jade-like hands fluttered gracefully like butterflies, gesturing around as she vividly introduced Bai Zhi to each one.

After the introductions, Qi Meizhen personally picked up a steaming cup of tea and walked gracefully to Bai Zhi.

Her actions were elegant, embodying the grandeur of a lady from a prestigious family.

Bai Zhi looked at Qi Meizhen, and her heart was like a bottle of mixed emotions, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty all rushing together, making her eyes instantly red.

She never expected that this heroic and valiant woman in front of her was actually Shi Feiyang’s wife, nor did she expect such passionate friendliness from her, leaving her mind blank and somewhat at a loss.

Her hands trembled slightly as she carefully took the teacup, her voice as soft as a mosquito, mingled with a bit of awkwardness and nervousness: ”Thank you, madam. This is my first time here. If I do anything wrong, please forgive me.”

Bai Zhi was full of admiration for Shi Feiyang, holding a hint of longing in her heart. Now that she unexpectedly learned he was already married, this sudden blow made her heart feel as if it was pierced by thousands of needles, unbearably painful.

How smart was Qi Meizhen, she immediately saw through Bai Zhi’s thoughts.

She gently extended her hand and softly patted the back of Bai Zhi’s hand, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: ”Little Sister Bai, don’t be reserved. The people of the Shi Family don’t sweat the small stuff, what we value most is character. Since you know Feiyang, you’re a friend of the Shi Family. If you have any difficulties, just speak up, we won’t hesitate to help.”

Hearing these words, Bai Zhi felt warm inside, moved to the point where tears were about to fall from her eyes, but she forcefully held them back. She looked gratefully at Qi Meizhen, her voice choked with emotion: ”Madam, you’re truly a good person. I... I can’t thank you enough. Actually, I’ve come this time with serious news.”

Shi Feiyang swung his hand boldly, his voice booming like a bell: ”Little Sister Bai, whatever it is, speak freely, don’t hold back!”

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and said: ”I came to find Brother Feiyang to tell you where the Blood Fiend Gang’s lair is. They, with that Poisonous Spider Woman, have committed all sorts of evil, harming innocent people. I heard the Heroic Sakura Association has always been chivalrous and righteous, and I hope you can rid the world of this evil, destroy the Blood Fiend Gang.”

With these words, the camp instantly went into an uproar.

”Plum Blossom Dart” Shan Zhi, flushed with anger, shouted while hopping on one foot: ”Hey! What kind of tricks this demoness might be playing again! We haven’t settled things with her from last time, and now she’s here to fool us again!”

”Iron Flute Scholar” Xiang Kun also glared angrily, shouting: ”That’s right! This Miaojiang woman is full of tricks, who knows what her intentions are!” Yet Qi Meizhen remained unusually calm.

She continued to wear a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, turned to Shi Feiyang and asked softly, ”Feiyang, what do you think?”

Shi Feiyang looked steady and said grandly: ”Little Sister Bai, you say the Heroic Sakura Association is all about punishing evil, upholding Jianghu justice, and helping the weak. Since you’ve come to us and exposed the Blood Fiend Gang’s evil deeds, the Heroic Sakura Association will naturally not stand by. But this matter needs careful consideration. We cannot just charge in recklessly. We must think thoroughly, devise a secure plan, both to wipe out the Blood Fiend Gang’s lair and ensure the safety of our brothers.”

Thus, Bai Zhi slowly sat down, picked up pen and paper, and meticulously drew a map for Shi Feiyang, detailing the location of the Blood Fiend Gang’s headquarters. After she finished drawing, Bai Zhi looked up, eyes full of desolation and reluctance, glanced at Shi Feiyang, then with tears brimming in her eyes, she slowly and heavily walked away from the Heroic Sakura Association’s encampment.

Her heart felt torn apart, her nose ached terribly, and all along the way, tears couldn’t stop rolling down, soaking her clothes, crying all the way as she headed towards Flying Tiger Pass.

”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong frowned, pounded the table with his fist, and said in his gruff voice: ”I say, this doesn’t make sense any way you think about it. That Bai Zhi may look pitiful, but she was previously in cahoots with that Poisonous Spider Woman, who knows if this is another enemy plot? Maybe she’s giving us a fake address to lead us into a trap!”

”Divine Archer” Miao Menlong nodded in agreement, staked his bow onto the ground, and said: ”Brother Wu speaks sense. Matters of the Jianghu are hard to discern between truth and falsehood. The Blood Fiend Gang are cunning folks, if we naively go there, what if we get wrapped up like dumplings by them?”

”Plum Blossom Dart” Shan Zhi pouted, giving a cold snort: ”Hmph, I think that Miaojiang woman harbors ill intentions. Before she aided the Poisonous Spider Woman against us, and now suddenly rushes in to deliver information, who would believe that? Wouldn’t we just get shot to pieces if we went there?”

”Iron Flute Scholar” Xiang Kun lightly stroked his iron flute, saying thoughtfully: ”Brothers, we must be cautious. The origins of this Bai Zhi are unclear, and now her sudden eagerness is truly suspicious. The Blood Fiend Gang’s headquarters must be heavily defended. If we go rashly, there will likely be more losses than gains.”

Shi Feiyang listened to their discussions and laughed heartily, standing up with arms crossed over his chest, filled with boldness: ”Brothers, I understand your concerns. But what have we not seen in this Jianghu? What have we ever feared? Even if this is an enemy’s trap, so what? As people of the Jianghu, losing our heads is nothing more than a scar the size of a bowl! If we back down because of fear, how can we stand in the Jianghu in the future? How can we talk about chivalry?”

”Flying Eagle Detective” Xie Wen nodded slightly, agreeing: ”The Grand Squad Leader speaks rightly. Since we’re in this line of work, we can’t be afraid of problems. Though Bai Zhi’s words are difficult to discern in truth, this could also be an opportunity. If we plan carefully and proceed cautiously, we might just be able to break through the Blood Fiend Gang’s lair.” Shi Xiong also clenched his fist, saying loudly: ”Right! I follow the master, fearing nothing. Those bastards of the Blood Fiend Gang have long needed a lesson!” ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong scratched his head, laughing awkwardly: ”Alright, since the Grand Squad Leader says so, let’s go all out. Worst case, we fight those bastards to the death!”

”Divine Archer” Miao Menlong slapped his thigh, eyes shining with determination, yelling: ”Good! If we fight, we fight. When have we ever been cowards roaming the Jianghu!”

Hearing this, everyone’s blood boiled, responding in unison. For a moment, the camp was filled with a passionate heroic spirit, each person’s eyes burning with resolve, determined that no matter how perilous the path ahead, they would bravely head toward the Blood Fiend Gang’s headquarters for a heart-stopping life-or-death clash against the forces of evil.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang waved his large hand, his robust voice resounding through the camp: ”Brothers, quiet down!”

Everyone immediately quieted, gathering closely around.

Shi Feiyang beckoned them to sit down, his expression solemn as he began to deliberate on how to win this hard battle.

Their heads huddled together, discussing in low voices, with various ingenious ideas flowing like springs.

Shi Feiyang furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze focused and deep, seriously analyzing the enemy’s details and potential actions, missing no detail.

Qi Meizhen sat quietly beside him, her beautiful eyes gleaming, attentively listening to everyone’s discussions, occasionally softly adding her unique ideas. Her voice gentle yet full of strength, injecting new thoughts into the deliberation.

They were all well aware that this muddy water wouldn’t be easy to wade through, with enemies sly and fierce, and the Blood Fiend Gang’s headquarters resembling a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den. Every step must be taken with extreme caution, as a single misstep could lead to a point of no return.

After much debate and meticulous planning, they finally formulated a detailed and comprehensive battle strategy. The plan decided to first select a group of agile, clever disciples, have them disguise themselves, and quietly infiltrate the enemy’s ranks to gauge the real situation, understanding the enemy’s troop deployment and defensive weaknesses.

Once the timing was right, internal and external forces would coordinate to catch the enemy off guard. To ensure successful implementation of the plan, some exceptionally skilled disciples in the Lightweight Technique were specifically assigned to relay messages, ensuring timely and accurate information.
