Chapter 856: Chapter 855: Do They Think the Long Alliance is Easy to Mess With? (3 updates)

Ye Haochuan found it odd that Duanmu Xiang was behaving very normally. As soon as he entered the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, he started leading a team to search for resources everywhere.

Could it be that they weren’t coming for the Long Alliance?

Ye Haochuan was puzzled, but at that moment, he suddenly received a message from Huo Mengyao: ”Haochuan, one of our three-person teams has been ambushed and all have fallen!”

”All fallen?”

Ye Haochuan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed. Duanmu Xiang didn’t seem to have done anything, how could such an incident suddenly occur?

Regardless, he had to go back and check!

In the next second, Ye Haochuan had already appeared at the mine.

The moment Ye Haochuan disappeared, Duanmu Xiang, who had been traveling non-stop, suddenly stopped.

”At last he’s gone! But what kind of technique does he have, that his presence could suddenly vanish?” Duanmu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.

He had a very special ability, which was his extremely powerful senses. Moreover, his own cultivation was higher than Ye Haochuan, so he easily noticed Ye Haochuan’s tracking. His previous ”honest” behavior was just an act for Ye Haochuan to see.

”Alliance Hierarch, what should we do now?” an Elder at his side asked.

”Proceed as planned!” Duanmu Xiang coldly gave the order.

...

On top of the mine, Huo Mengyao’s brow was tightly knit, discussing something with several core members.

”What exactly happened?” Ye Haochuan came up beside her and asked, ”Did they encounter powerful Demon Beasts or was it man-made?”

He hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Duanmu Xiang, so he couldn’t help shifting his focus.

Huo Mengyao spoke with a frown: ”Based on preliminary judgments, it should have been an ambush.”

”Do you know who did it?”

”I suspect it was the work of the Sun Moon Alliance, but there’s currently no evidence.”

Ye Haochuan nodded thoughtfully and said, ”Mengyao, tell everyone to be careful, it’s best if they all return to the mine.”

The Long Alliance’s core members were all staying at the mine; they could enter the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm at any time, so there was no need to compete with others for resources at such times.

But it was different for other members; many Innate Early Stage cultivators still roamed in groups, seeking opportunities in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm.

In less than half a day’s time, a succession of bad news followed.

Several teams were ambushed, with more than ten casualties, and the core members of the Long Alliance immediately convened an emergency meeting.

”Don’t even think about it, it was definitely the Sun Moon Alliance’s doing!” Langfan was burning with anger, rolling up his sleeves ready to seek revenge against those from the Sun Moon Alliance.

Huo Mengyao held up the available information and said, ”This is all just our speculation, we have no concrete evidence.”

Zhu Liang rubbed his temples and slowly said, ”No matter who the opponent is, one thing is certain, someone is targeting our Long Alliance.”

”Damn it, does someone think our Long Alliance is easy to bully? If I find out who it is, I’m going to wipe them out right now!” Langfan slammed the table, his temper obviously flared up.

Hong Yi rolled her eyes at Langfan and said, ”Stop your useless blabbering. Our Long Alliance has just been established and our overall strength is far less than others. It’s safer with the protection of the Fire Tree Humans in the mine, but if we go to the enemy’s stronghold, we definitely won’t stand much of a chance.”

Langfan dissatisfiedly retorted, ”Hong Yi, aren’t you just boosting the enemy’s morale and undermining our own prestige?”

After being silent for a long time, Ye Haochuan finally spoke, ”Hong Yi is right. Our overall strength is still behind others, so we cannot act rashly without having a clear understanding of the opponent.”

”So what do we do?” grumbled Langfan.

Ye Haochuan’s mouth curved into a smile, saying, ”Of course, we return like for like.”

”What do you mean?” Many people were confused.

At this moment, Huo Mengyao explained, ”All our people were ambushed, which shows that the opponent has mastered our movements and was well-prepared.”

Huang Hongfei said with a face full of surprise, ”You mean... we have a traitor in the Long Alliance?!”

Huo Mengyao nodded, ”Exactly, otherwise the enemy wouldn’t have so easily ambushed our people.”

”Damn it! Who’s the traitor? I’ll flay him alive and throw him into a cesspit!” Langfan’s fiery temper surged again.

Ye Haochuan said, ”We haven’t discovered who the traitor is yet, but we’re not in a hurry to deal with him, because next, we still need his help.”

”How’s it going?”

”If the opponent wants to ambush us, then let’s set up a counter-ambush! Langfan, later on find a few reliable people, and have them go to the West Yin Mountain three hundred li to the southwest to hunt for treasures...”

Ye Haochuan arranged for some people to set off first, and then said to Huo Mengyao: ”Mengyao, you stay behind to identify the spy, but don’t alert him.”

Huo Mengyao nodded: ”Rest assured.”

After the meeting, Langfan, Cai Wenping, Huang Hongfei led a group of Early Stage Cultivators to set off towards the mountain ranges in the southwest direction.

The rest stayed behind to work with Huo Mengyao to locate the spy.

Ye Haochuan, as if nothing happened, idled at the mines as usual, occasionally chatting with the Fire Tree Human Eldest Elder, occasionally teasing Yige.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

At this time, in a different part of the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, within the headquarters of the Sun Moon Alliance.

Gou Canglan said to Duanmu Xiang: ”Alliance Hierarch, has the Long Alliance noticed something? The few ambushes we set were all minor characters, not even seeing a single Innate Mid-Stage Cultivator.”

Duanmu Xiang thoughtfully said: ”Every bit of strength we weaken counts for something.”

”But this is getting too troublesome. If this goes on, the Sect is bound to notice. I think we should finish off the Long Alliance as soon as possible to avoid dreaming any longer!”

”Even so,” Duanmu Xiang slightly furrowed his brows, ”let’s wait for our helper. Without him, we can only carry out minor ambushes.”

Gou Canglan was somewhat puzzled.

”Alliance Hierarch, with the strength of our Sun Moon Alliance, why must we wait for a helper? Destroying the Long Alliance should not be difficult.”

Duanmu Xiang glanced at Gou Canglan and slowly said: ”I just received intelligence too, the Long Alliance... they have a Foundation Establishment Early Stage expert at their base!”

”What?!”

Gou Canglan’s complexion changed all of a sudden. A Foundation Establishment Expert was completely out of their league!

”Doesn’t that mean our plan is...” Gou Canglan was very unwilling. He thought this time they could take a good revenge, but did not expect the Long Alliance to have such a trump card!

Duanmu Xiang eased his expression and said: ”But Elder Gou, you needn’t be disheartened, the helper I’ve invited this time is a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage expert!”

”Really?”

Elder Gou’s expression changed again, his excitement showing through.

”So, if we want to overthrow the Long Alliance, we must wait!”

Gou Canglan finally nodded, when suddenly a Cultivator rushed in, shouting: ”Alliance Hierarch, there’s news from the other side, a small team of three from the Long Alliance is heading to West Yin Mountain to hunt for treasure, and it seems that an Innate Mid-Stage Cultivator is leading the team.”

”Good!” Gou Canglan immediately laughed and said, ”Alliance Hierarch, this time I will go!”

Since he didn’t know how long they would have to wait, Gou Canglan was already eager to take some advance profits.

Duanmu Xiang also understood Gou Canglan’s thoughts and immediately agreed: ”Alright, be careful.”

”Alliance Hierarch, rest assured, just a mere Innate Mid-Stage!” Gou Canglan, being an Innate Late Stage expert, was naturally full of confidence.

Afterwards, Gou Canglan led an Innate Late Stage and two Innate Early Stage Cultivators, rushing towards West Yin Mountain to lay the ambush.

West Yin Mountain loomed high, with sparse ancient trees and mostly erratic rocks and weeds.

West Yin Mountain was surrounded by water on three sides, with only one entrance. In front of the mountain foot was a small canyon, the only path into the mountain.

At this point, Langfan and others had already set an ambush above the canyon, with a total of seven people.

Ye Haochuan, who had originally been strolling in the mines, suddenly activated the Gate of the World, and in a mere instant, appeared at the front of West Yin Mountain.

”Langfan, how’s the situation?”

Upon finding Langfan and the others, Ye Haochuan asked.

Ye Fan shook his head: ”Nothing yet.”

Just then, several shadows flickered and crossed into the other side of the canyon.

”They’re here!” Ye Haochuan’s eyes were sharp, instantly catching sight of those figures.

Langfan excitedly said: ”Shall we make our move?”

Ye Haochuan waved his hand and said: ”Wait a bit longer, as soon as they make a move, we’ll immediately wipe them out!”
