King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 440 - 164: Earth-Shattering Reversal: Bai Zhi Secretly Delivers Intelligence, Shi Feiyang Slices the Poisonous Spider Woman with His Blade (Part 4)
By noon, the warm sunlight, like golden tides, spilled over the entire camp. The sunlight gently caressed every corner, awakening the camp from its slumber. Thousands of disciples and warriors gradually awoke under the sunlight.
They stretched, yawned, and walked out of their tents, bleary-eyed.
Sunlight draped over them, illuminating their vibrant faces. They slowly shook off sleep, revitalized, ready to face the new day and new challenges.
In late autumn, the land of Bozhou was shrouded in an aura of desolation and chill.
The sky was overcast, with lead-grey clouds piled heavily, as if they might crush down at any moment.
The cold wind roared like a beast, crashing through the mountains and forests, rustling the branches and leaves, and sending withered leaves swirling down, like a swarm of helpless butterflies.
The mountain paths were rugged and winding, covered thickly with fallen leaves, each step producing a "creak creak" sound beneath their feet.
In the distance, the mountains rose and fell in succession, appearing particularly stern and mysterious under the gloomy sky.
"Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen and "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun silently left the camp under the cover of night. They moved swiftly like two ghosts in the dark, quickly disappearing beyond the camp, stealthily heading towards Flying Tiger Pass to conduct a reconnaissance mission.
At that time, Flying Tiger Pass lay like a giant beast lurking in the night, quietly sprawled upon this ancient and mysterious land.
On the city walls, torches swayed violently in the biting cold wind, their dim light flickering and at any moment seeming to be devoured by the fierce winds.
Bai Zhi, dragging her tired and desolate body, slowly returned to Flying Tiger Pass.
She was full of hope for some comfort and understanding.
However, what greeted her was the sharp, ruthless curses and merciless mockery of the rebel generals, as sharp as knives.
"Humph, look at this disheartened figure, not a hair gained from this mission, you’ve truly brought shame upon us!" one rebel general said disdainfully, scolding loudly.
"Exactly, thought she was so capable, but achieved nothing, she’s a complete joke!" another general echoed mockingly.
In their eyes, Bai Zhi’s complete failure on this mission had already made her a laughing stock for all to ridicule at will.
Bai Zhi felt immense grievance, her lips slightly trembling, yet she could only swallow all the bitterness in silence, bearing the humiliation alone. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
She trudged heavily step by step back to her narrow, dark, and damp wooden hut.
Inside, only a dim oil lamp emitted a faint and dull light, barely illuminating her haggard face, further highlighting her loneliness and helplessness at this moment.
Recalling Shi Feiyang’s valiant and majestic demeanor on the battlefield, Bai Zhi’s admiration for him grew like wild grass in the spring, becoming more intense.
She tossed and turned in bed, Shi Feiyang’s figure constantly appearing in her mind, making it hard to fall asleep.
After some inner struggle, she finally resolved to secretly assist the Heroic Sakura Association.
She knew the Blood Evil Gang’s remnants’ hiding spots well, and if she could help Shi Feiyang eliminate them in one fell swoop, perhaps she could gain the opportunity for deep communication with Shi Feiyang, warming their feelings for each other.
That night, the cold wind became even more biting, like a roaring beast rampaging through the mountains and forests.
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and resolutely left Flying Tiger Pass quietly.
Her figure was light and agile, like a nimble deer, weaving freely through the dense forest.
However, she hadn’t gone far before she unexpectedly ran into Xie Wen, who had come to investigate Flying Tiger Pass.
Xie Wen was highly vigilant, instantly drawing out the soft whip from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the whip swung like a spiritual snake in the air, assuming a defensive posture, his eyes full of wariness, fixed on Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi, seeing the situation, quickly lowered her voice and said, "Hero Xie, don’t misunderstand, I’ve come to assist you."
Then she straightforwardly disclosed her intentions to Xie Wen.
After listening, Xie Wen’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt as he sized Bai Zhi up and down, pondering to himself: What is this Miaojiang woman really up to? But he still half-believing, half-suspecting, led Bai Zhi to the new base of the Heroic Sakura Association.
As Bai Zhi stepped into the camp, all eyes immediately focused on her, and the camp was instantly abuzz.
Shi Feiyang’s eyes widened, his brows locked in a firm knot, thinking to himself, "Why has she suddenly appeared here?"
Qi Meizhen was also startled, but quickly calmed down, a spark of curiosity dancing in her eyes.
"Iron Palm" Wu Zhong almost had his eyes pop out, shouting loudly, "This demoness shows up here, surely up to no good!"
"Divine Archer" Miao Menlong joined in the commotion, "Exactly, she might be trying some demon technique to trip us up!"
Shan Zhi, Xiang Kun, and Shi Xiong were also so infuriated that their faces flushed and necks bulged, rolling up their sleeves and clenching their fists, wishing they could immediately rush up and deal with Bai Zhi.
"This demoness almost cost us our lives last time, and she dares to deliver herself here today, watch how I deal with her!" Shan Zhi ground his teeth in hatred.
Shi Xiong also waved his fist and shouted loudly, "That’s right, we absolutely can’t let her get away!"
Xie Wen quickly reached out to stop them, advising, "Don’t rush, let’s first hear what this demoness has to say, it’s not too late to make a move afterwards."
The crowd was heatedly discussing.
In the noisy clamor, Qi Meizhen stood like a blooming peony in the fierce wind, gracefully composed, exhibiting countless postures.
