King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 531 - 184: Healing in the Remote Mountains, Gentle Companionship, Overflowing Love
Lan Xiaodie returned to the Five Poison Sect Headquarters, her heart full of raging anger, like surging magma churning in her chest, completely consuming her rationality, with all her hatred unreservedly focused on Shi Feiyang alone.
Her eyes were bloodshot, like two burning fireballs, staring intently at the portrait of Shi Feiyang on the wall.
Her gaze seemed as if it could burn a hole through the portrait.
"Shi Feiyang, you have brought such great shame and humiliation to my Five Poison Sect, I must make you pay a terrible price. Even tearing you into pieces wouldn’t suffice to quench the hatred in my heart!" Lan Xiaodie whispered through clenched teeth, a chilling determination in her voice.
To execute her plan of revenge, Lan Xiaodie immediately summoned the elite cult members who excelled in tracking and assassination.
Each of these members was agile, their eyes sharp like a hawk’s, having operated in the shadows for years, exuding a cold aura.
Lan Xiaodie stood before them, her expression stern, and spoke deliberately, "You, start at once, secretly trailing Shi Feiyang and the others. Once you find an opportunity, show no mercy. Ensure his death. Remember, this concerns the survival of our Five Poison Sect. Success is the only option, failure is not tolerated!"
The cult members all knelt on one knee, responding in unison, "We obey the Sect Leader’s orders!"
Then, like specters, they vanished swiftly into the night, heading towards directions where Shi Feiyang and others might appear.
Lan Xiaodie also meticulously planned within the headquarters, selecting a group of cult members extremely familiar with the terrain to go to the mountains and towns where Shi Feiyang and others would pass through. These members cleverly used trees, rocks, and other natural environments in the mountains to set up multiple traps; some traps were smeared with poison, while others concealed sharp spikes. In the towns, they lurked in every corner, ready to use deadly poisons and bizarre martial arts at a crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow to Shi Feiyang and others.
At the same time, to make up for the previous huge losses, an evil thought surged in Lan Xiaodie’s mind.
She decided to increase the persecution of innocent civilians, intensifying the kidnapping of children.
"These children not only satisfy the trades with the Fusang people, bringing a large amount of wealth and resources for our sect, but they can also become the perfect medium for cultivating evil Gu techniques. As long as I can use this to enhance my strength, I can surely trample Shi Feiyang underfoot!" Lan Xiaodie’s eyes shone with a mad glow, as if she could already see the scene of Shi Feiyang defeated at her feet.
Meanwhile, at Flying Tiger Pass, Heroic Sakura Association Elder Liao Pei, keenly sensing the threat of the Five Poison Sect, immediately stepped up to assume the role of acting Grand Squad Leader.
His expression was grave as he quickly gathered the core members of the Heroic Sakura Association to convene in the Flying Tiger Pass meeting hall.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was oppressive, with worry etched on everyone’s faces.
Liao Pei, with piercing eyes, scanned the crowd and spoke with a firm and steady tone, "The Five Poison Sect has suffered a severe blow and will not let this go lightly. They will definitely try every means to seek revenge. We cannot afford to be careless, we must be fully prepared to respond."
Subsequently, Liao Pei methodically assigned tasks.
He turned to "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen and "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun, saying, "Xie Wen, your Lightweight Technique is exceptional; Xiang Kun, you are astute. Both of you set out immediately and conduct a thorough investigation around Flying Tiger Pass, closely monitoring the Five Poison Sect’s every move. Should you notice any sign of them gathering forces or laying an ambush, you must report back immediately."
Xie Wen and Xiang Kun exchanged a glance, got up together, clasped their fists to accept the orders, and then swiftly left the meeting hall, shooting towards the mountains like arrows off the string.
Liao Pei then turned to Elders Wu Zhong and Lie Quan, saying, "Elders, I kindly ask you to lead ’Barrel’ Lu Dechu and ’Bamboo Pole’ Jiang Huotian to immediately begin strengthening the defensive fortifications of Flying Tiger Pass. Set up chevaux-de-frise and traps around the pass, reinforce the city walls, and add watchtowers, not giving the Five Poison Sect any opportunity." The two elders nodded in agreement and immediately went to convey the orders.
Elsewhere, "Divine Archer" Miao Menlong and "Plum Flower Dart" Shan Zhi were also tasked with training ordinary disciples to enhance their martial arts and combat skills. On the training ground, Wu Zhong occasionally demonstrated fist techniques personally, his burly figure exuding powerful might with every move, showcasing the power of the Iron Palm.
He demonstrated while loudly explaining the key points of the movements, "Remember, punch with force and power, unify waist and legs, draw strength from the ground!"
Miao Menlong, holding a longbow, patiently instructed disciples in archery, personally drawing the bow and shooting arrows that flew like shooting stars, accurately hitting the bullseye, drawing exclamations of admiration from the disciples. Shan Zhi moved among the disciples, teaching hidden weapon techniques by hand, his agile fingers danced, the hidden weapons flying out like nimble butterflies, hitting their targets accurately and without fail.
Meanwhile, Shi Feiyang’s wife, Qi Meizhen, although pregnant, disregarded her own safety, resolutely coming to the training ground.
She wore light armor, a red-tasseled helmet on her head; even though her figure was slightly bulky, it could not conceal her heroic spirit.
The scorching sun hung high, with sunlight fiercely beating down on the training ground, making the ground scorching hot.
Qi Meizhen stood in front of everyone, her eyes firm, and said loudly, "Though I am pregnant, I am a descendant of a family of generals, protecting the country is my duty. Today, I will train with everyone to fight off foreign enemies!"
Qi Meizhen, enduring the discomfort of her body, personally practiced the "Seventeen Styles of Armor Breaking," "Six Harmonies Saber Array," and "Tiger Fierce Array."
Her movements were skillful and fluid, with each technique containing immense power.
