Chapter 399: 399: Another Force
They had only caught a glimpse of the side of his face, but in the glow of the fire, they distinctly identified him as Jiang Xiaobai, his appearance and build perfectly matched.
“Could it really be that Jiang Xiaobai has gotten involved with these people?” Ao Cheng muttered.
At this moment, Zhuang Huanling shook her head.
“No, didn’t you notice that guy is only at the Nascent Soul Stage? Jiang Xiaobai has already reached the Transcendence late stage.”
“This must be a pretense.”
Upon hearing that, Ao Cheng also realized, his brow immediately furrowed.
Why would they pretend to be Jiang Xiaobai?
Are they not afraid of death?
Do these people not realize what Jiang Xiaobai represents in the eyes of the ancient clan?
He is indeed a thorn in their flesh!
Are they crazy to impersonate Jiang Xiaobai?
“Don’t worry, just keep watch outside. Since they are doing this, they must have a plan, and will surely reveal themselves sooner or later. Then, we can follow and see what happens,” Zhuang Huanling said calmly.
Thus, the two found a very hidden spot outside the waterfall to hide and stared intently at the waterfall, ready to notice any slight movement.
Behind the waterfall, over a hundred people were gathered. Their cultivation and strength were not high, the strongest among them was a young man in the late stage of Transcendence.
Most of the others were at the Nascent Soul Stage while a mere dozen had reached the Transcendence stage, making for rather shabby force.
However, each of them wore an expression of hatred, and many eyes were filled with resentment.
Without exception, everyone there had been oppressed and wounded by the ancient clan, causing them to lose their families.
They stood together to deal with the ancient clan, causing them trouble was also acceptable; the single most important point was that in their future days, their main purpose was to make the ancient clan miserable!
“What’s the situation? Has the ancient clan started to search extensively in West Wind City?” The young leader asked the ‘Jiang Xiaobai’ upon his return.
‘Jiang Xiaobai’ shook his head, then ripped off the mask around his neck, revealing his real face – a very young boy.
“No, big brother, the ancient clan is really cowardly. We’ve caused them trouble a few times recently, but they haven’t taken any action or even shown any intention of doing so.”
“I was considering using Jiang Xiaobai’s face to attract attention, but when I saw they had too many experts, I didn’t dare.”
Hearing this, the young leader nodded: “That’s alright, don’t take risks. Any of us getting caught by the ancient clan would be disastrous.”
“We must carry out all our actions in the most secure way possible, so nothing can go wrong.”
After the young man finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. It was evident that he had a high stature among the crowd, not just because he was the strongest, but also because this group was gathered by him in half a year.
Moreover, this was just their small base, their actual power was quite strong.
However, regardless of strength, these scattered warriors could never be a match for the ancient clan, otherwise they would not be hiding here.
Mo Feng stood still and pondered for a moment, then furrowed his brows: “When you withdrew, was there any other movement in the ancient clan’s auction house?”
The boy thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: “Yes, big brother, when I left, it seemed like the head of the ancient clan said that they would bring in experts to deal with us.”
“Hmph, the ancient clan never gives up their intention to destroy us!”
Mo Feng sneered: “If that’s the case, we can’t stay here any longer. Tomorrow, we will start planning. The recent reconnaissance missions haven’t run into any issues, right?”
“Don’t worry, big brother, we’ll do things to your satisfaction. Although we haven’t caused the ancient clan any substantial damage these few times, the formation in the auction house is almost destroyed!”
“And when I set up the devices today, I checked, and those people from the ancient clan didn’t seem to care about this.”
Hearing this, Mo Feng revealed an excited smile: “Good, this is good news. Like this, our plan will definitely succeed tomorrow!”
Everyone got excited.
Although they had been bombarding the front of the ancient clan’s auction house like madmen recently, not causing any substantial loss to the ancient clan, they seemed to have embarrassing results in the face of outsiders.
But in reality, their main goal was never to disgrace the ancient clan, they wanted to get their hands on the treasures inside the ancient clan’s auction house!
They couldn’t afford to miss out on such a great opportunity.
Now, their chance had come.
“Tomorrow, continue under the facade of Jiang Xiaobai. Once we make our move, immediately reveal your identity within West Wind City, then withdraw according to plan, understand?”
“Remember, it is crucial that nothing goes wrong!”
Mo Feng quickly urged the young boy.
The young boy repeatedly nodded, and then Mo Feng continued to arrange other matters.
After spending an hour, they maintained all the arrangements properly, and everybody could finally relax. They all sat cross-legged, gathering their spirit, preparing for tomorrow’s plan.
They had been preparing for this plan for a whole month!
After wrapping everything up, Mo Feng walked to the entrance of the cave, raised his head to look at the night sky, his face gradually turned into an expression of hatred, his fists clenched, his eyes turned red.
He was filled with hatred, hating that he didn’t have the power to protect his sister, allowing the minions of the ancient clan to take her away. Her whereabouts remained unknown till now!
“Are you still worrying about your sister?”
At this moment, a young woman walked up to Mo Feng. She was also at the late stage of Transcendence, serving as the deputy leader of this group.
Seeing the woman, Mo Feng’s demeanor returned to normal.
“It’s nothing, just feeling some occasional regret in my heart. I realize my sister… her prospects are not good…” After speaking, Mo Feng fell silent.
The woman didn’t know how to comfort him, so she could only pat his shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything will get better. Didn’t our leader say? With the support of the strong, dealing with the ancient clan is just a matter of time.”
“Yes, I believe this!”
Mo Feng nodded vigorously. “Rest assured, Wu Shuang, we will definitely succeed.”
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai came out of the cave, stretching and yawning.
“What a beautiful day.”
“Today, how should I deal with the ancient clan?”
Looking at the misty sunrise, Jiang Xiaobai’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
