Conquer the game world

Chapter 34 Success?
Xiong Batian was extremely displeased. Ye Feng was still going on and on about his conditions, and many of the things he was asking for were things that even the Lion Sect didn't have. This made Xiong Batian's expression grow increasingly grim.

Even if Ye Feng really had some ability, Xiong Batian's initial hope of recruiting Ye Feng for his own use was now completely shattered.

"Hehe, Brother Ye Feng, it's not that I'm bad, but many of the things you mentioned take time to collect. How about this, you come over and join our sect first, and I'll definitely do my best to help you collect what you need." Xiong Batian patted his chest and assured Ye Feng, but at this moment he had already cursed Ye Feng a thousand times in his heart.

Xiong Batian couldn't stand Ye Feng's insatiable attitude, so he quickly interrupted Ye Feng, begging him to come over quickly. He said that as long as the boy came over obediently, he would capture him and control his life and death. He could make Ye Feng die if he wanted him to.

"No." Just as Xiong Batian was fantasizing about all sorts of ways to torture Ye Feng, Ye Feng refused without hesitation.

In fact, Ye Feng had already seen through Xiong Batian's intention to feign surrender; he was only hesitant to enter because he was worried about traps inside the Shuixuan Palace.

In this way, Ye Feng took advantage of Xiong Batian's suspicion and staged an empty city ruse in front of the Lion Faction.

Of course, Ye Feng knew this scheme wouldn't last long, so he didn't mince words when Xiong Batian tried to recruit him, directly refusing. Ye Feng reasoned that if he were too polite, the other party might discover he was just putting on a show.

After rejecting Xiong Batian, Ye Feng ignored him and went straight back to the Shui Xuan Palace.

"Prepare for battle. The enemy certainly doesn't want to drag this out for too long, and neither can we." Ye Feng said seriously to the three of them. "That Xiong Batian is very powerful. If a battle breaks out later, I may have to deal with him, and I might not be able to look after the others."

All three understood the meaning behind Ye Feng's words. Perhaps in a little while, they would face a tragic end. The thought of such an end was hard for all three to accept.

"Damn it, I'll fight them to the death! Every one I kill counts, and I'll take as many as possible with me on the road ahead." Shi Lei was the first to recover from his dejection. Losing confidence at this moment would be the most terrifying thing.

Ye Feng gave Shi Lei an approving look. He was indeed a brother who had fought alongside him. In contrast, Wan Hai and Shui Ying seemed very scared. Their mental fortitude made it difficult for them to accept the situation.

Seeing the vacant look in their eyes, Ye Feng gestured for Shi Lei to grab his weapon. It seemed that he would have to fight alongside Shi Lei in the near future, Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Xiong Batian, what are you still thinking about? Hurry up and deal with these guys. If the Star Dust Sect finds out we've already retreated and escaped, I'll be in trouble." He Tian urged impatiently. What He Tian was most worried about was being exposed for participating in the sect struggle. He didn't care how much the Lion Sect would lose.

"I understand. Everyone, listen to my command, cover each other, watch your surroundings, and charge in together." After thinking it over, Xiong Batian still felt that it was not advisable to linger here for too long. Even if there were some risks, they had to take action.

Just as Ye Feng had predicted!

However, that's not entirely true.

"Boss, something bad has happened! The Stardust Sect is attacking from behind!" Just as the Lion Clan was assembling their troops to charge in, a Lion Clan disciple suddenly reported to Xiong Batian.

"What? Xiong Batian, it's all because of your hesitation! Now things are messed up, what do you suggest we do?!" Knowing that the situation had been exposed, He Tian roared at Xiong Batian with a displeased expression.

"What the hell did you say? I've been putting up with you for a long time, let me tell you, don't think you're some kind of big shot." The sudden bad news made Xiong Batian lose his temper and stop pretending in front of He Tian, ​​suddenly roaring.

"Xiong Batian, you bastard, do you believe I'll take my men and leave right now?" Faced with Xiong Batian's sudden outburst of rage, He Tian was also a little stunned.

But at this moment, He Tian dared not be fierce anymore. Although He Tian himself was also a martial artist of the Spirit Realm level, he was no match for Xiong Batian in terms of strength. He usually only put on airs because Xiong Batian needed help. At this moment, He Tian was actually frightened by Xiong Batian.

"Leave? You think you can save anything by leaving now? It's too late, He Tian, ​​hahaha." Xiong Batian laughed angrily. "You and I are already in the same boat. There is only one way out here: we must kill everyone in the Star Dust Sect together. We cannot let a single one escape."

"Especially that Xing Tianyu, I can't guarantee I can stop him by myself. You and I must work together." Although Xiong Batian was already furious, he was, after all, the leader of the Lion Sect, and he quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation.

Although the Lion Faction is currently facing an attack from the Stardust Sect, they have the advantage in numbers. If they fight hard, the Stardust Sect should be no match for them. It's a mystery why these guys dare to come and die.

After analyzing the situation, Xiong Batian quickly organized the Lion Faction members to remain calm and prepare to meet the enemy. It must be said that Xiong Batian's leadership skills were outstanding.

He Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, also made up his mind to fight alongside Xiong Batian after listening to Xiong Batian's words. After all, Xiong Batian's analysis was correct. Now the two of them had no choice but to advance and retreat together, as they were already tied to the same boat.

“Xiong Batian, since things have come to this, let’s not hold back anymore and fight with all our might,” He Tian said from the side. “But let me make this clear first: I will contribute my efforts, and after it is done, my share of the profits will be increased by 20%.” Even at this moment, He Tian still did not forget to ask for more benefits, revealing his greedy nature.

"No problem. Let's do it this way." Xiong Batian didn't dwell on the matter and readily agreed to the terms. As for the few small fry hiding in the Water Profound Palace, Xiong Batian had already put them aside in his mind. In his opinion, they only knew how to use traps for sneak attacks and certainly didn't have any real strength.

At this critical juncture, Xiong Batian was unwilling to suffer such a pointless loss by sending people to attack Shuixuan Palace, which might have set up a trap.

"Fine, as long as I keep these guys trapped inside, I can deal with them after I've dealt with the Stardust Sect," Xiong Batian thought to himself.

It must be said that Xiong Batian's analysis was good from all aspects. He did not panic in the face of Xingchen Sect's initiative. He calmly judged the strength of both sides. With his side having the advantage, he took the initiative to win over He Tian to make a move, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

Given the unclear situation, temporarily avoiding an attack on the potentially dangerous Shuixuan Palace to minimize losses is a wise decision.

However, the only thing Xiong Batian overlooked, and what he didn't expect, was that the few small fish and shrimp in the Water Profound Palace were not ordinary small fish and shrimp.

"Pass on my orders: immediately descend the mountain and wipe out the Stardust Sect."

Ye Feng and Shi Lei had already hidden themselves inside the outer hall of the Shui Xuan Palace, while Ye Feng had Wan Hai and Shui Ying hide inside the inner hall. In Ye Feng's view, the two, who had lost their will to fight, would not be of any help in the battle and would only be a hindrance.

Actually, Ye Feng wasn't particularly worried. After all, he had already reached level 20, and he was confident that he could easily crush any martial artist at the Spirit Light level.

Ye Feng was determined to defend the main water palace to the death. If he really couldn't hold it, Ye Feng had already made up his mind to rush out with Shi Lei. If all else failed, Ye Feng was also prepared to use stealth to escape.

Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't run away on his own unless it was the last minute. Even so, having this trump card, Ye Feng wasn't particularly nervous.

However, the two hid for a very long time, and the Lion Faction still couldn't break in.

Could the Empty City Stratagem have frightened them? Ye Feng wondered. Logically, the enemy shouldn't have been able to hold out for so long; they should have already stormed in by now.

After waiting for too long without any sign of the Lion Clan, Ye Feng finally decided to use his stealth technique to go out and take a look.

Ye Feng and Shi Lei hid separately in different locations. Shi Lei couldn't see where Ye Feng was hiding, so Ye Feng wasn't worried about being discovered.

Ye Feng was also afraid that the other party was lying in ambush, waiting for him to go out and scout the situation before launching a sneak attack. Ye Feng used this tactic frequently when he was playing games before. Just to be on the safe side, Ye Feng decided to use stealth to go out and check the situation.

Upon exiting the Water Profound Palace, Ye Feng was speechless at the sight before him. The large group of Lion Sect members who had been blocking the entrance were now completely gone.

"Damn, they weren't really scared away by my empty city ploy, were they? This doesn't make sense," Ye Feng muttered to himself.

Regardless, the retreat of the Lion Faction was certainly good news, but Ye Feng was still somewhat uneasy. He immediately summoned a necromancer rat and ordered it to go out and check on the Lion Faction's situation.

After stealthily returning to his previous hiding spot, Ye Feng deactivated his stealth mode and swaggered towards the direction where Shi Lei was hiding.

"Ah, I'll fight you to the death!" Hearing the commotion, Shi Lei initially thought it was the Lion Sect members who had entered and was about to make a move when he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was Ye Feng. "What's going on? Didn't we agree to hide and ambush? What if they come in?" Shi Lei said worriedly.

"No problem, I've scared them away." Ye Feng said confidently. At this moment, Ye Feng was still unaware of the true situation and still thought that his empty city strategy had worked. He unconsciously became a little smug.

"Tch, you think so many people would be afraid of just one person like you?" Shi Lei shook his head repeatedly, clearly not believing Ye Feng's words.

"You don't believe me? Go out and see for yourself."

Still somewhat skeptical, Shi Lei slowly walked to the entrance of the Water Profound Palace and peeked outside, but there was no one there. Still not entirely convinced, Shi Lei went out to check several times and found that there really was no one there.

"Holy crap, this is unbelievable."
