Chapter 68

"Since the leader of the Viper Gang has come to save his son, it shows that his son is extremely important to him. Now that his son is buried below, can he not save him? As long as he saves him, can’t we just crush him to death?"

Ling Dao smiled. In fact, whether or not they could crush the Viper Gang leader to death was not important to him. As long as they could crush some of the people the Viper Gang leader brought, it would be enough. If it came to it, the Viper Gang leader would have to take action himself.

"How ridiculous, can’t they just come up and deal with us directly?"

Chunlan had been holding back for a long time, finally thinking of a way to mock Ling Dao, so she naturally spoke up first. If Zhong Feifei had stopped her, she wouldn’t have dared to say more. She looked at Ling Dao with satisfaction, feeling even more that she was incredibly smart.

"If he dares to come up, we will directly crush his son to death. Do you think he will still come up? Even if he knows it’s a trap, he has to jump in. This isn’t a conspiracy, but an overt strategy!"

The Viper Gang leader only had one son, Xie Tianzong, whom he cherished as a precious gem. Moreover, Xie Tianzong had good talent and was already a mid-stage True Qi Realm warrior. Burying Xie Tianzong in the narrow pass was naturally to deal with the Viper Gang leader.

"An overt strategy?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhong Feifei’s eyes. She hadn’t expected that the fifteen-year-old youth in front of her would have such a plan. Ling Dao was right; Xie Tianzong was below, and the Viper Gang leader had to save him.

If the Viper Gang leader came up to deal with them, they would crush Xie Tianzong to death. Now that Xie Tianzong’s cultivation had been ruined and he was buried, these large rocks would definitely kill him. No wonder Ling Dao had come to the narrow pass; Zhong Feifei finally understood.

"Master Ling’s strategy is impressive, it has broadened my horizons. Since that’s the case, we’ll watch the show tomorrow!"

Hearing Zhong Feifei praise Ling Dao, Chunlan was extremely displeased, but she didn’t dare to contradict Zhong Feifei. Moreover, what Ling Dao said made sense, and he had considered everything. If it were her, Chunlan, she definitely wouldn’t have thought so much.

"We? Haven’t you two recovered? Why are you still staying here?"

Ling Dao frowned. His plan was good, but there would definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow. Zhong Feifei and Chunlan were only mid-stage True Qi Realm warriors and couldn’t help much. Moreover, Ling Dao didn’t want them to help, to avoid owing them a favor.

"I’ve long heard about the Viper Gang’s actions. Such a great evil must be eliminated. Dealing with the Viper Gang leader naturally can’t do without me!"

Zhong Feifei appeared extremely righteous, with her expression and eyes perfectly in place. Even Ling Dao was deceived. As the saying goes, a woman’s heart is as deep as the sea, and a woman’s disguise is more skillful than a man’s.

In his previous life, Ling Dao’s mind was focused on the path of the sword, and he had no romantic entanglements, so he naturally knew less about women. Zhong Feifei was a woman with deep thoughts, not easy to see through.

"Fine, then we’ll spend the night here tonight!"

Ling Dao shrugged and sat down next to a large tree, leaning against it and closing his eyes. Zhong Feifei frowned; she was born into a noble family and naturally didn’t want to spend the night here. But for the sake of the mid-grade sword technique, she had to endure.

...

The night passed without incident. When the sun rose the next day, Ling Dao opened his eyes. Zhong Feifei was leaning against a large tree, her brows tightly furrowed, clearly having had a bad night. She only fell asleep just before dawn.

"Truly a pampered lady, I wonder how that young leader spent his night?"

Xie Tianzong was buried, with only his head exposed, and he was in great pain. Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked, so even if he wanted to shout for help, he couldn’t. He could only curse Ling Dao in his heart.

"Clopping, clopping"

Not long after, Ling Dao’s ears twitched, hearing the sound of hooves. The earlier the Viper Gang leader arrived, the more it showed how much he cared about Xie Tianzong, and the greater the chance of Ling Dao’s success. If the Viper Gang leader didn’t care about Xie Tianzong, Ling Dao would have to fight him head-on.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh..."

Seeing the warhorses galloping over, Xie Tianzong excitedly shouted, but his mouth was blocked, so he could only make muffled sounds. For him, the past day had been a nightmare, and now the nightmare was finally ending.

"Viper Gang leader, your son is below, but I have already buried him. If you have the ability, dig him out!"

The cliffs on both sides were three hundred meters high. Ling Dao stood on the mountaintop and spoke loudly, and those below could hear him clearly. Zhong Feifei and Chunlan also woke up and stood not far from Ling Dao.

"Which friend is this? What did my son do to deserve such torment?"

The Viper Gang leader jumped off his warhorse and looked at Xie Tianzong, who was buried in the narrow pass. A hint of pain flashed in his eyes, but his chest was filled with boundless anger. He looked up at the mountaintop, wishing he could rush up and tear Ling Dao to pieces.

"Leader, no! That youth is on the mountaintop. If we enter the narrow pass, we will surely fall into his trap, and it will be extremely dangerous!"

A late-stage True Qi Realm warrior beside the Viper Gang leader said, and anyone could see how dangerous the narrow pass was. It was so narrow that if large rocks fell from above, there would be no way to avoid them.

"Everything that happened yesterday, you must know clearly, there’s no need to repeat it. Give you the time of one incense stick. If you can’t save your son by then, I will crush him to death!"

Ling Dao’s words made the Viper Gang leader’s face change. If he didn’t save Xie Tianzong, Xie Tianzong would definitely die. Being buried, Xie Tianzong had no chance of escape. If he went to save Xie Tianzong, they would all be in mortal danger.

"To save Tianzong, we must take the risk. You all charge in and bring Tianzong out! If anyone doesn’t go, I will exterminate their entire family when we return!"

Knowing the danger, they still had to go in. Who could blame the Viper Gang leader for having only one son, Xie Tianzong? Moreover, Xie Tianzong didn’t plan to go in himself; he only ordered the people behind him to go in. No matter what, the Viper Gang leader himself would be fine.

"Understood!"

Dying was better than having the whole family die. The eight mid-stage True Qi Realm warriors behind the Viper Gang leader gritted their teeth and charged into the narrow pass. Ling Dao, standing on the mountaintop, naturally saw this.

"Push!"

A cold light flashed in Ling Dao’s eyes, and he immediately pushed the large rocks on the mountaintop down. The rolling rocks fell, and the Viper Gang leader, standing far away, had flames in his eyes!
