Chapter 1518: Chapter 1491: It’s Not Up to You!
"Oh?"
Wang Shaojie looked at Wang Hui with surprise, a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Uncle Yun did say that within the same legion, one cannot plunder another’s spoils of war. Do you know what happens if you deceive me?"
"Rest assured, young master, leave this matter to me! If I can’t bring back that outsider, I’m willing to offer my head!" Wang Hui patted his chest and said.
This was an excellent opportunity for him to climb higher!
If he could leave a deep impression in front of Wang Shaojie and become one of his trusted aides, his future would be limitless.
Uncle Yun squinted, not expecting Wang Hui to step forward at such a time.
Seeing Wang Shaojie’s look of interest, it was clear that Wang Hui had piqued his curiosity, so he didn’t say much.
If anything actually happened, it wouldn’t implicate Wang Shaojie.
If all else fails...
Just throw Wang Hui out to deal with it.
Seeing Uncle Yun not stopping him, Wang Shaojie nodded and said, "Then go! I await your good news!"
"Yes!"
Wang Hui was filled with excitement and then waved his hand, "Brothers, come with me!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Peng Pin and others followed closely behind.
A moment later.
They arrived at the riverside, seeing Shu Feng and others guarding the golden barrier from afar.
"It’s them? What a narrow path indeed!" Wang Hui’s pupils slightly narrowed, revealing a cold expression.
He still remembered being publicly humiliated by Shu Feng and Xiao Yi in the Military Affairs Department.
It was the shame of his life.
Liu Chun had also been furious at the time, and the two later tried to find Shu Feng and Xiao Yi to avenge their disgrace.
But Shu Feng left Jun Shang City with Xiao Yi early on.
Coupled with Wang Shaojie’s affairs, he set it aside.
Yet unexpectedly, they met again here.
"Captain, Xiao Lin is not among them..." Peng Pin said in a low voice.
Hatred filled his eyes too.
The two brothers had been promising recruits, about to become the most dazzling rookies.
But just as they appeared, they were repeatedly knocked down by Xiao Yi.
Now many people called them the unlucky twins!
"Captain, Shu Feng’s team is not weak, we..." The vice-captain of Wang Hui’s team, a middle-aged man with a sly look named Tian Mao, expressed his concern, knowing their long-standing rivalry with Shu Feng’s team.
Wang Hui shook his head: "That was before!"
The power of their team was originally on par with Shu Feng’s, but with two skilled members of Shu Feng’s team falling and them gaining the Peng siblings, their strength increased significantly.
Without considering Xiao Yi, their team could easily crush Shu Feng’s team.
However...
Wang Hui dared not act recklessly, as plundering a fellow comrade’s spoils was anything but honorable.
Once caught and presented to the Military Law Department, even with Wang Shaojie’s support, it would lead only to a dead end.
"Do we still have the Beast Attracting Incense?" Wang Hui asked.
Tian Mao’s pupils constricted, whispering, "Captain, you’re thinking of using the Beast Attracting Incense for a surprise attack? It’s feasible, but Shu Feng is known for his keen sense. I’m afraid he might detect it first..."
Wang Hui sneered: "Don’t worry, we’ll pour the incense into the river, downstream from them. This way, Shu Feng absolutely won’t discover it easily..."
The person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy.
This old saying fits Shu Feng and Wang Hui perfectly.
"I understand!"
Tian Mao immediately took the Beast Attracting Incense and disappeared.
This river was home to many powerful and ferocious monsters.
With the lure of the incense, hundreds of monsters were soon attracted and urged by Tian Mao towards Shu Feng’s group.
"Hmm?"
Sitting quietly awaiting Xiao Yi’s return, Shu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a look of shock crossing his face, "Not good, something’s coming out of the river, everyone get ready!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The river water surged, dozens of water columns shot up, as large monsters emerged from the waters.
These monsters were extremely bloodthirsty.
Especially under the lure of the incense, they believed there were treasures here.
So they rushed over.
Only to find they were deceived!
Infuriating the monsters, who upon landing, opened their bloody maws, lunging at Shu Feng and his group.
Shu Feng and his group reacted swiftly, summoning their elemental weapons and engaging in battle.
"Protect the altar!"
While fending off the monsters’ assault, Shu Feng opened his hands wide, attracting the monsters entangling Wei Du as well, "Old Wei, protect the altar!"
"Don’t worry!"
Wei Du, his frame visibly thinner, held a sturdy black spear, standing before the altar like a Wrathful Vajra, unwavering.
This altar was not only vital for the Creatures of Unharmed Heaven but related to his sister’s life and death!
How could he let them take it?
How dare he let them take it?
Shu Feng and his team were formidable, each skilled in their duties.
After a fierce battle.
They finally slew the monsters before them, though at a great cost.
While none perished, everyone was heavily injured.
Gulp!
Wei Du swallowed a pill, his face grim: "What on earth happened? There are many monsters in the river, but never before have they ambushed shore defenders, something must be fishy..."
"We must investigate thoroughly to clear our name!" Shu Feng said heavily.
"Oh my, isn’t this Captain Shu? I heard your team recently gained a powerful new recruit, why do you look so bedraggled!"
As Shu Feng and his team discussed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
It was Wang Hui, bringing a group of spirited people into view.
Shu Feng’s face changed dramatically, looking at Wang Hui in disbelief: "Wang Hui? What are you doing here?"
Wang Hui shrugged and said, "Why can’t I be here? Could it be that this battlefield belongs to your family?"
"Get lost!"
While having Zhao Lei bandage his wounds, Wei Du glared at Wang Hui, the enmity between their teams long irreconcilable after years of overt and covert conflict, "Our team is stationed here, you all need to leave this..."
"Leave?"
Wang Hui chuckled, leaning slightly forward, "We can leave, but only if you hand them over!"
Wang Hui raised his hand, pointing at the altar where outsiders were covered under the golden barrier.
Shu Feng was stunned, not expecting Wang Hui’s target to be those outsiders?
Under normal circumstances.
He would have handed the outsiders over.
But now...
Having witnessed the horror of the Scarlet Plague firsthand, how could they possibly hand over the outsiders?
Shu Feng shook his head, saying, "You should leave, there’s no way we’re giving you the outsiders!"
"Whether you hand them over or not, it’s not up to you..."
Wang Hui sneered and waved his hand, "Capture all those outsiders for me, if they resist, kill without mercy!"
