Chapter 124 -119: The Overall Situation is Important

When Ling’er returned, Wei Sisan immediately informed Jiang Zhuge and Xiao Bai.

Upon their return, Wei Sisan immediately called for a meeting.

In the great hall, Xiao Bai stated, “We can’t just let this go. We need to investigate thoroughly. Ling’er may have escaped this time, but if we let it slide now, who knows what will happen in the future?” He was known for being impulsive and this incident had clearly infuriated him.

Kong Sha also said, “Exactly, if we act as if this never happened, more incidents like this are bound to occur in the future. We need to strike back now and deal with this severely.”

Wei Sisan, not being a fool, realized that the investigation was likely to involve the Sea King or the Earth King. This was his guess.

“Those men in black must have been instructed by someone else to commit such an act. Kidnapping Ling’er didn’t benefit them in any way, unless it was ordered by someone else.” Xiao Bai speculated.

“That’s right, they must have been ordered by someone. We need to investigate this thoroughly and find out who was behind this.” Kong Sha added.

Wei Sisan thought to himself that if they dug too deep, it might disrupt the relations between the members of the Third Demon.

Xiao Bai asked, “Heavenly King, are you concerned that this issue will ruin the relationships among the three kings? In my opinion, there’s no need to worry about that. If they dared to commit such an act, they must not care about the relationships among us. So why should we bother about their attitudes? The two kings have already shown signs of going independent, they merely haven’t voiced it out. Their aim is to force you to step down and take the position of the Alliance Leader.”

Wei Sisan decided to be more cautious.

Kong Sha said, “We can’t let this slide. We need to get to the bottom of this, otherwise they will think they can do whatever they want.”

Wei Sisan had another concern: the rapidly rising Sky Domain Sect. If the infighting within the Third Demon continued, the Sky Domain Sect would grow stronger much faster. Seeing that Jiang Zhuge was silent all along, he asked, “Zhuge, what do you think?”

“What you both expressed is correct. We cannot let this happen without addressing it, but if we expose everything all at once, the Third Demon will inevitably split into factions. It seems that those who dared to do this have considered this and are ready to take advantage of it. This might provide an opportunity for the Sky Domain Sect.” Jiang Zhuge said.

Xiao Bai responded, “What do we have to fear right now? Even if we maintain calm and carry on as usual, it does not seem to be of much use. As for the Sky Domain Sect, we do not have many options at this point. But neglecting this issue and letting the schemers get away will only encourage them to commit even more outrageous acts in the future.”

Kong Sha added, “Our power remains intact. Now that this cancer has appeared, we should eliminate it, not ignore it.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “If we moved forward with such a plan, it would disturb the entire Wastelands. The Wastelands are already chaotic as it is. With the rise of the Sky Domain Sect and the increasing number of bandits appearing everywhere, we cannot afford to be rash.”

Xiao Bai commented sarcastically, “Zhuge, it appears you fear the ensuing complications.”

“No, I am not afraid of complications. I just want to be cautious. If we investigate exhaustively, the split among the Third Demon is inevitable. Assuming they trace it back to the Sea King or the Earth King in the end, what are we going to do then? Kill them? Ling’er is safe now, but do we really intend to kill the Sea King or Earth King over this?”

Jiang Zhuge continued, “Heavenly King’s health is not at its best now. Investigating this matter will certainly consume substantial resources and time and in the end, the results may not even be satisfactory.”

After listening, Wei Sisan nodded in agreement.

Kong Sha said, “Regardless, we cannot pretend that this incident did not happen. Maintaining a false unity doesn’t serve any purpose either.”

Jiang Zhuge replied, “Yes, within the Third Demon, our unity is false. But in the Wastelands, our role carries significance. After all, we are the rulers of the Wastelands. Though we are not as powerful as before, our reputation is still acknowledged by the people.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai exclaimed angrily, “So, do we turn a blind eye and ignore the problems at hand? What if they target us again in the future? Should we just continue to tolerate this?”

Jiang Zhuge replied, “No, of course we can’t just let things slide. We must prepare ourselves, we must ready ourselves for a divide, build up our force, and plan for the future.”

A puzzled Kong Sha asked, “Prepare for a split?”

“Indeed, we need to prepare for a potential split. After all, we are not fully prepared at present. Once divided, we would be lucky to control the Wastelands City, let alone the entire Wastelands. Rather than investigating this event extensively, we should use our time to prepare, complete our preparations for ruling the Wastelands, and recruit more soldiers to strengthen our power.”

Wei Sisan listened carefully.

At this point, both Kong Sha and Xiao Bai seemed to have cooled down.

Jiang Zhuge stated, “We must remember that not only the Third Demon exists in the Wastelands, but also the Sky Domain Sect, the recent bandits, and the No. One Thieves who wield considerable power. If we exhaust ourselves battling the Sea King and Earth King, who will deal with these issues? We need to think about the bigger picture. It’s not that we do nothing, but we just need to avoid acting impulsively.”

Wei Sisan declared, “That’s correct, Zhuge is right, very right, we can’t only consider ourselves, we need to consider the entire Wastelands. The Third Demon isn’t as influential as before, and they all have their own hidden agendas. I’m actually angrier than all of you, because the one they are trying to apprehend is my daughter.”

“They want to confront me, yet, we must regard the entirety of the Wastelands, especially during such a critical moment. Everyone wants to carve out a piece for themselves. This place isn’t like the Central Plains, where everything is controlled by the demon and immortal realms, it must be us who protect it.”

Upon hearing Wei Sisan concur, both Xiao Bai and Kong Sha calmed down somewhat. Xiao Bai said, “So are we just going to let this matter go? How should we handle it if something like this happens again in the future?”

Jiang Zhuge replied, “No way, we can’t act as if nothing happened, that wouldn’t be acceptable. At the very least, we need to put on a show of anger, to intimidate them. However, whether to pursue an investigation or not, that’s up to us.”

Wei Sisan said, “Mm, Jiang Zhuge is right. Indeed, let’s do as Jiang Zhuge suggested.”

“We should take this opportunity to reorganize a bit, and prepare for the inevitable split in the future.”

Kong Sha responded, “We should prepare, several factions have already expressed interest in joining us.”

Xiao Bai said, “Those bastards who tried to apprehend Ling’er clearly aimed to depose our Heavenly King from his position as Alliance leader, they must have designs on the leadership.”

However, both Wei Sisan and Jiang Zhuge knew that neither the Sea King nor the Earth King had the capability or benevolence to be a proper Alliance Leader. Even if they were to give them this position, they wouldn’t have the power to govern the Wastelands properly. It would only result in a more fragmented Wastelands. Wei Sisan had considered this, they lacked the responsibility and broad-mindedness to hold such a position, so the role of Alliance Leader should not be handed to them. If it were, it would only lead to more chaos in the Wastelands.

“So we aren’t doing anything about it, then?” Xiao Bai asked.

“Of course we won’t just do nothing. We should use this time to revamp the Wastelands, steadily allow new blood to join, and enhance our power. I think they failed in their plot against Ling’er, and they should be quite apprehensive about it. They probably won’t dare to act so recklessly in the future; now is the perfect time for us to take advantage of this situation,” Jiang Zhuge proposed.

“We also need to keep a close eye on the people from Sea King and Earth King’s factions to prevent them from causing more trouble.” Xiao Bai suggested.

“Yes, that is a must,” Jiang Zhuge agreed. “We should make good use of this peaceful period, recruit more disciples using our status as Alliance Leader, and integrate those who want to join us. We won’t have many opportunities like this in the future.”

“Absolutely right, I know many small factions that are eager to join us; they’ll be more than happy to do so as long as the Alliance Leader agrees.”

Just as they were discussing, a voice from outside announced, “The Sea King and Earth King have arrived.”

Xiao Bai fumed, “Damn it, they came sooner than we expected. They should’ve showed up last night. Now they rush in here, probably because they know our Ling’er is safe. They did this deliberately, didn’t they?”

Jiang Zhuge said, “Well, we have to meet them regardless. But we must give them some psychological pressure. Even though everything’s alright now, we still have to show our strength. We may not pursue any further investigations on our own, but we do need to show them some intimidation.”

Wei Sisan nodded.

Jiang Zhuge continued, “Just knowing that Ling’er is fine and the Alliance Leader is in a much better mood is enough. They won’t dare to mess around.”

Wei Sisan stayed silent for a while and said, “Alright, Jiang Zhuge, let’s go meet them together. As for what we should do next, how we should leverage our current status for the inevitable changes – we need to think through all this.” Soon after, he left with Jiang Zhuge.

Jiang Zhuge asked, “Was Ling’er injured?”

“No,” Wei Sisan responded.

“That scared me. How did this girl manage to escape?”

“She said someone saved her.”

“Someone saved her? No wonder. I was wondering how she escaped from so many men in black, especially in an unfamiliar area.”

“Yes, I was also scared.”

“It’s good now that she’s back, although we need to be cautious, we can’t allow this to happen again.”

After meeting the Sea King and Earth King, Wei Sisan vented his anger and vowed to hunt down the conspirators in order to intimidate the two kings. After a bit of a show, both kings fell in line with his opinion and agreed to help fight the No. One Thieves.
