Chapter 121 -116: The Wastelands Have Development Potential

The men in black had disappeared, having already pursued ahead, evading Jiang Zhuge and his group. Now Ling’er was nowhere to be seen, which greatly worried Jiang Zhuge, leaving him unsure of what to do.

He wondered if Ling’er had been captured by the men in black.

The search party quickly returned, still without having found Ling’er. They knew how anxious Jiang Zhuge was. At this point, one of them said, “However, Ling’er is most likely not in the hands of the men in black. If they had captured Ling’er, they would’ve left by now. But they are still searching, so it’s safe to say that Ling’er is not in their hands. She must have escaped.”

Another sublimate added, “Indeed, Ling’er must have escaped. Otherwise, why would they still be searching? There’s only one explanation – they haven’t caught Ling’er.”

“But where is Ling’er?” Jiang Zhuge began to fret, fearing that Ling’er would eventually fall into the hands of the men in black.

“We need to find her immediately.”

“Remember, if found, protect her first. Don’t let them capture her.”

“Understood.”

Jiang Zhuge was puzzled. He wondered how Ling’er had managed to shake off those men and disappear without a trace. Ling’er rarely returned to Wasteland City and was unfamiliar with the environment here. She also lacked martial arts skills. He wondered how she had managed to escape from them.

“It’s all our fault. We failed to protect Ling’er.” The last two disciples protecting Yiling returned, wounded.

“It’s not your fault.” With so many men in black breaking out, who could control the situation?

Another disciple on the side said, “We’ll let the people in Wasteland City know as soon as possible, so they can send help immediately.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded, praying that Ling’er wouldn’t be captured by them.

Soon enough, Kong Sha arrived, unaware of what had happened. After Jiang Zhuge explained, Kong Sha muttered, “Ling’er is missing!”

“Yes.”

“Could she have been captured by those men in black?”

“Probably not, as they’re all over the place looking for Ling’er. If they had caught her, they wouldn’t be looking anymore,” Jiang Zhuge said.

“Nonetheless, Ling’er is still in great danger.”

“Indeed, we have already dispatched people to follow the men in black. So if there’s any news of Ling’er, we should know soon.”

“Ling’er isn’t familiar with the surroundings,” Kong Sha said.

Jiang Zhuge replied, “Maybe she has found a way to hide.”

“Right, Ling’er is very smart. She should have thought of a way to hide.” Kong Sha could only hope, and added, “There are too many men in black. We need to have people from Wasteland City come and help us.”

“Yes, I’ve already sent a message by carrier pigeon. Once they know, they will definitely send help as soon as possible.”

Ye Chen’s guess was correct; those people had indeed come from the western direction. He, along with the young girl, had managed to avoid the men in black by taking detours, hiding, and stealth. Luckily it was still night-time; had it been daylight, things wouldn’t have been so easy.

Yang Jing ran out, found Ci Ye, and asked, “Where is the girl?”

“We had them surrounded, but then a giant python rushed out in the darkness and broke our encirclement, allowing them to escape.”

“A python, what kind of BS python?”

“I was careless. I didn’t notice anything at the back. An opening was pried open all at once, and they got away,” Ci Ye said, seeming rather self-blaming.

“A python, how could that be possible?”

“Maybe it wasn’t a python. We didn’t see it clearly at the time. It was too dark, the shadow came really fast, it was very lethal, it suddenly broke out. We didn’t have time to react, by the time we did, an opening was already pried open, saving those people,” Ci Ye explained.

“The number of people who escaped wasn’t large. Have they found the girl?”

“No, we’re still searching. We don’t know where the girl ran off to. It’s as if she just vanished,” Ci Ye replied.

“Could she have been protected by Jiang Zhuge’s people?”

Hearing this, Ci Ye shook his head and said, “Unlikely, even they don’t know where the girl ran off to. They’re also looking for her.”

“Where could a mere girl go? Hurry up and find her. I don’t want to waste time here,” Yang Jing exclaimed. If dawn broke, the people from Wasteland City would arrive.

“Alright, I’ve already spread out my men. We should find the girl soon.”

“Damn it! Where could a girl run to? Is she really capable of burrowing underground?” Yang Jing said in disbelief.

After another two hours, Ci Ye began to worry. Since it was past midnight, the news of the events from here should have reached Wasteland City by now. If they failed to find the girl soon, it was likely that Wei Sisan’s men would arrive. They wouldn’t be easy to fend off when that happened. So, he quickly found Yang Jing, and said, “Boss, it’s really strange. We have no idea where the girl has run off to.”

“Damn it.”

“We need to leave. Someone ahead has noticed that a large group of Wei Sisan’s men is heading this way and they’ll be here within two hours. We should get moving or our identities will be exposed.”

Yang Jing was somewhat reluctant, but Ci Ye was right. If they didn’t leave now, they might run into danger. He wasn’t ready for a full-out battle with Wei Sisan’s men, there was just no need for it. What was more, they still had no idea where that girl was. The night was so dark and there was no news of her at all.

“Seems like we can’t find that girl, she might have already found a way to hide.” Ci Ye said.

You Dao also came over and said, “Yeah, we should leave. It’s not worth fighting with Wei Sisan’s men over that girl. At that time, Gua Zhengnie definitely won’t stand with us. We have to think about ourselves.”

Yang Jing nodded, “Yeah, let’s go. Let’s leave.” The strength they had cultivated so painstakingly was not worth it if they were to be wasted in a fight with Wei Sisan all because of that girl.

Soon, the men of the No. One Thieves left one by one.

Kong Sha’s subordinates hurriedly returned to report everything to Jiang Zhuge.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Could it be that they have already found Ling’er?”

One subordinate said, “No, our men have been watching them. If they found Ling’er, we would have seen.”

Kong Sha said, “Probably our reinforcements are coming. They got scared, so they left.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded.

After receiving the distress signal, Wei Sisan hurriedly dispatched Xiao Bai from Wasteland City. Xiao Bai was one of Wei Sisan’s trusted aides. Wei Sisan wanted to come by himself, but Xiao Bai, fearing any accidents, persuaded Wei Sisan and came by himself.

By the time Xiao Bai found Jiang Zhuge and Kong Sha, the people from the No. One Thieves had already escaped. However, they hadn’t found Wei Yiling either.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai said, “I hope Ling’er has not been kidnapped by those people in black.” He was filled with worry.

Kong Sha said, “That should not be possible. We have investigated. Over two hours ago, they were also looking for Ling’er. They just left. If they had found Ling’er, we would definitely know about it. They probably gave up looking for Ling’er because they knew our reinforcements were coming. So, Ling’er is not with them.”

“Where did Ling’er go then?”

“We are still searching, but maybe she has already found a way to escape from here.” Jiang Zhuge looked up at the sky and said, “Send out more Winged Dragons to find Ling’er as quickly as possible.”

His men immediately went to carry out the order.

By this point, worrying was of little use.

Kong Sha said, “Maybe Ling’er has found a way to shake them off.”

They could only hope for the best.

Xiao Bai said angrily, “Do we know who those people in black are now?”

Kong Sha said, “It’s very likely that they are from the No. One Thieves.”

“The No. One Thieves, are you sure?”

“They wore masks, we could only suspect them but can’t be sure.”

“So, it all seems to be true, they want to use Ling’er against our Heavenly King.”

“They must be colluding with the people of the Third Demon. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to do such a thing no matter how bold they are.” said Kong Sha.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Let’s take this issue back to Wasteland City and discuss it slowly. The most important thing is to find Ling’er. It would be terrible if something were to happen to her.”

Ye Chen, along with the girl, constantly moving towards the west, should have already shaken off the people behind him. Ye Chen was still somewhat worried, fearing that the people behind him might pursue them.

However, Yiling seemed somewhat relieved at this point, saying, “Don’t worry, they won’t come chasing.”

“How would you know?”

“The sky is already bright. We sent out the signals last night from the inn. It’s not too far from the inn to Wasteland City. They could see the signals sent from the inn in Wasteland City. My dad would certainly send people to help us. Moreover, we are getting closer and closer to Wasteland City now. The No. One Thieves, even if they are bold, would not dare to approach Wasteland City in broad daylight.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen let out a breath of relief.

“Did you really come to Wasteland City alone? What are you doing here?”

“Wandering! Continuing to beg!”

“Wandering, begging? If you’re going to beg, you should at least choose a proper city. There are so many big cities in Central Plains, but you chose to run to Wasteland City.”

“Isn’t Wasteland City in a state of chaos right now? The more chaos, the more room for development. Even beggars need space to develop. The Central Plains is now under the control of the Immortal Demon Realm, there’s not much room for development.” Ye Chen explained.
