Conquer the game world

Chapter 31 Investigation
"Ah!" Shui Ying saw someone coming and hurriedly kicked Wan Hai away. "We're fine."

"Hehe, we didn't see anything." Although Shi Lei said this, the mischievous smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

Seeing Shi Lei's expression, Shui Ying knew that there was no point in explaining, so she could only glare at Wan Hai to vent her frustration.

"This isn't the time to talk about these things." Ye Feng remained silent, not bringing up what had just happened. "How is the situation? Are you the only two here? Where are Master Shui Xuan and the other fellow disciples?"

The barrage of questions left the two somewhat bewildered, especially Wan Hai. He knew that this guy was only a disciple who had been in the sect for three months, and that when Master Shui Xuan tested him recently, he was only at the first level of the Spiritual Light realm. Now, this guy dared to speak to them so arrogantly, which made Wan Hai feel uneasy.

However, the current situation is very dangerous, and Wan Hai dares not offend anyone easily, especially those who seem to be friends at the moment. Under Wan Jianchao's tutelage, Wan Hai is very clear about the principles of being a good person. In particular, he remembers that the big guy Shi Lei is with Ye Feng and seems to be quite strong.

After some time, Ye Feng found a relatively secluded spot on his way to the main peak and casually set up a few simple traps.

After setting up the traps, Ye Feng went to another location and set up traps in the same concealed place. Ye Feng repeated this process, setting traps in several different locations.

Shui Ying and Wan Hai had been hiding in the Shui Xuan Palace for quite some time, and while no one attacked them, they were completely unaware of what was happening outside.

After understanding the situation, Ye Feng decided to go out and check the situation outside by himself. Originally, Shui Ying and Wan Hai were both clamoring to come out together and wouldn't listen to anything he said. In the end, Ye Feng had no choice but to ask Shi Lei to stop the two of them before he went out alone to investigate the situation.

"Xiong Batian, so much time has passed, and those guys from the Star Dust Sect are still hiding inside and won't come out. Can you break this great formation or not?" At the foot of the main peak, a middle-aged man was angrily speaking to Xiong Batian, the leader of the Lion Sect.

"Lord He, rest assured, they are trapped inside and none of them can escape. Furthermore, our formation-breaking preparations are almost complete. Once we break through the barrier, the current number of disciples in the Star Dust Sect is no match for us. At that time, I, Gan Xiong Wang Hu, will be responsible for holding off that old fellow Xing Tianyu and Elders Mu Jianchao and Lu Qiao. After dealing with the others, we will take care of these few together." Xiong Batian's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Then we will accuse the Star Dust Sect of treason. Anyway, there will be no way to prove it, and who will care about the life or death of such a small sect?"

The Lion Clan had a long-standing grudge against the Star Dust Sect. Previously, the Lion Clan was always suppressed by the Star Dust Sect. Now, after years of forbearance, the Lion Clan's fighting strength has surpassed that of the Star Dust Sect. Moreover, they have also won over He Tian, ​​the city lord of Star Night City, to participate. This time, Xiong Batian is determined to win.

"Hmph, I hope you hurry up, I don't want things to get complicated." He Fei came with Xiong Batian this time simply because Xiong Batian promised a lot of benefits. Originally, Xiong Batian promised a very detailed plan and that they could take down the Star Dust Gate quickly. Unexpectedly, the main peak of the Star Dust Gate also had a barrier. Although he was surprised, Xiong Batian still said that it could be broken, but it would take too long. He Fei was still a little worried that the news would leak out, and then his position as city lord would probably be over.

Inside the barrier atop the main peak of the Stardust Sect.

"Sect Master, are we just going to hide here forever? Why don't we go out and fight them?" Shui Xuan couldn't sit still any longer. He hadn't brought Shui Ying with him when he first came, and now that they were trapped here, Shui Xuan was worried that Shui Ying might be in danger.

If Xing Tianyu hadn't been stopping her, Shui Xuan would have rushed out long ago, while Xing Tianyu just sat quietly, lost in thought.

Xing Tianyu actually had his own unspoken troubles. He had encountered some problems during his cultivation a few days ago, which left him with some hidden dangers. If he didn't understand them, he would have no chance of winning against Xiong Batian.

Judging from the current situation, the Lion Clan has a comprehensive advantage in numbers and strength. If he cannot kill Xiong Batian in a short time and then help the others, the disciples of the Star Dust Sect will definitely not be able to break through, and the fate of the Star Dust Sect will only be destruction.

The destruction of the Stardust Sect by his own hand was something Xing Tianyu could not accept. However, given his current situation, let alone helping the other disciples, he might even be killed by Xiong Batian if he went out to fight now.

Xing Tianyu could only do his best to recover from his injuries, hoping they would heal quickly, or that Elders Wan Jianchao and Cao Mao would return with the other disciples to help the sect. Or perhaps a miracle would occur.

In truth, Xing Tianyu didn't know what he was waiting for; perhaps he simply couldn't accept the fact that the Star Dust Sect was about to perish in his hands.

While the Lion Clan was busy breaking the formation, Ye Feng, in stealth mode, circled around the area, assessed the number and situation of the Lion Clan, and then temporarily left.

Ye Feng returned to Shui Xuan Palace. Upon seeing Ye Feng's return, Wan Hai and Shui Ying quickly came up to inquire about the situation.

"The Lion Clan members are all on the main peak right now; everyone else is probably trapped inside. The Lion Clan hasn't breached the walls yet." He explained the situation to the two of them. At least for now, the situation wasn't too bad; they could at least confirm that everyone was still alive.

Upon hearing this news, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, especially Shui Ying, who had been worried that something had happened to Shui Xuan. At least for now, it seemed that she was alright.

Wan Hai was in a slightly better situation. Ye Feng and Shi Lei had told him about Wan Jianchao's condition as soon as they arrived. Although Wan Jianchao's poisoning and injury worried him greatly, Ye Feng assured him that the poison had been neutralized and he was safe, which put Wan Hai at ease. The two also learned that Cao Mao was a traitor and immediately launched into a tirade against all of Cao Mao's relatives. Wan Hai, in particular, knowing that Cao Mao had poisoned Wan Jianchao, even threatened to kill Cao Mao on the spot.

Ye Feng has been gone for a while now, and the two of them are much calmer than before. Moreover, Ye Feng brought back some news that wasn't too bad, so their emotions are relatively stable now.

"Ye Feng, what do we do? There are so many people in the Lion Sect, we probably can't rescue them with just a few of us." Shi Lei looked worried. Although the Star Dust Sect was currently fine, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock if the few of us tried to rescue the trapped people.

Wan Hai and Shui Ying stopped talking and just looked at Ye Feng. Neither of them knew what to do about the current situation. For some reason, they both hoped that Ye Feng could come up with a solution, even though they knew the possibility was extremely slim.

Of the three present, only Shi Lei had confidence in Ye Feng. After all, the two had worked together several times, and Shi Lei knew Ye Feng was full of clever ideas. If anyone had a solution, it would definitely be Ye Feng. If Ye Feng couldn't, Shi Lei would probably have to start thinking about running away. So, in the end, Shi Lei took the initiative to ask Ye Feng if he had a solution. Shi Lei was thinking that if Ye Feng couldn't either, he would just grab a few people and leave as quickly as possible.

"Hehe, Shi Lei, have you forgotten how we dealt with the Lion Clan in the forbidden area?" Ye Feng said to Shi Lei with a relaxed expression.

"You mean...?" Shi Lei understood immediately. When the two of them were dealing with the Lion Faction together, Shi Lei had praised Ye Feng's trap. "But in that case, how do we make them fall for it willingly?"

"As for this problem, just follow my instructions in a bit. Let's make some arrangements now and give them a surprise later."

"Okay, let's get started now." Shi Lei perked up when he heard about setting up a trap.

At the foot of the main peak of the Stardust Sect, Ye Feng once again arrived at the outer perimeter of the Lion Clan members, this time bringing Shi Lei with him.

The two had already set up numerous traps on the mountain peaks near the Water Profound Palace. Now, as long as they lured the enemy there, they could catch them off guard and wipe out most of the Lion Clan members.

"Be careful, we can't be too conspicuous. If we get surrounded before we can escape, we're doomed. We must lure the enemy in slowly," Ye Feng instructed Shi Lei.

The two quickly found a lone member of the Lion Clan. Caught off guard, they were swiftly killed by Ye Feng. After killing them, Ye Feng quickly set the bodies on fire, destroying all traces.

"Captain, Wang Er and Li Wu are nowhere to be found. They said they were going to pee and haven't come back yet," a Stardust Sect disciple reported to a Lion Sect squad leader.

"Hmph, those two guys must have gone off to slack off again. Send a few men to find them and bring them back. Don't they know what day it is? If they anger Boss Xiong, even I can't protect them." The squad leader assumed the two had just gone out to slack off and sent out a few members to look for them.

After some time, the people who went out to search still hadn't returned, and there was no news at all. The squad leader gradually realized that something must have happened.

Not daring to make any further rash moves, the captain quickly reported the situation to Xiong Batian.

"Damn it, you bunch of useless trash! The Stardust Sect members are all inside, who else could be outside? How could you lose several people for no reason? What kind of captain are you?" Xiong Batian was furious upon hearing the news.

"Xiong Batian, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" He Tian asked as he walked over when he saw Xiong Batian getting angry.

"Hehe, Lord He, no problem, how could there be a problem? Everything is progressing smoothly. It's just that a few people in my team had a little friction. It's a small matter, a small matter." Xiong Batian didn't want He Tian to know that there were still enemies outside. If He Tian knew, he would probably turn on him on the spot.

"Since it's a minor issue, let's resolve it quickly and get the important business at hand done."

"Sure, sure, I'll arrange it." Xiong Batian said, leading the unlucky squad leader to another quiet place, where He Tian wouldn't bother them again.

"There must be a few guys playing guerrilla warfare, trying to distract us." After listening to the report, Xiong Batian concluded, "A few small fry, they can't amount to anything. But I can't just leave them alone. You, take two squads and find the troublemakers, dead or alive." Xiong Batian ordered.

"I'd like to see what kind of people you are..."
