Wei Chen stared in shock at the dazzling colors that filled the valley. The vibrant hues quickly spread around, coalescing into a massive web.
Upon closer inspection, each strand of the web appeared to be a colorful serpent.
Wei Chen swallowed hard; the terrifying aura emanating from the giant web made his heart race.
"This woman is truly not to be trifled with!"
The people inside the valley screamed in terror, drawing their weapons in preparation for battle. Several powerful figures soared into the air, launching fierce attacks with their Soul Techniques against the massive web. However, their formidable Soul Techniques vanished as if they had sunk into the ocean upon hitting the web.
"May I ask what offense we have committed, Holy One? If we have wronged you, I, of the Sand Wolf Gang, will certainly apologize!"
A Bald Man flew into the air, gazing up at the giant web with a grim expression, his voice booming.
"Apologize? Sand Wolf, that won't be necessary. The Rolling Stone Formation you set up in Last Chance has already been activated. Countless stones are now piled up in Last Chance. If your men don’t remove those stones, you will all die here."
Wei Chen sneered, but one hand tightly gripped Ni Junlin to prevent her from making a move. He had already witnessed the power of the Earth Soul Realm and knew it would be easy for him to eliminate these people.
However, he could not allow Ni Junlin to ruin his plans by blocking Last Chance.
"Ni Junlin, if you act now, there's no telling they won't become desperate and kill those women they've captured. Wouldn't that mean your good intentions would backfire?" Wei Chen whispered in Ni Junlin's ear, his warm breath sending a shiver through her body as she instantly softened.
Sand Wolf's face was filled with shock; such a high-level powerhouse was actually from Dingsheng Trading Company?
He couldn't see Ni Junlin and Wei Chen; he could only hear Wei Chen's voice.
"It sounds like a very young person, yet their strength is formidable."
Sand Wolf thought to himself and then cupped his fists, saying, "There is a reason for this. I hope Your Excellency can be understanding. We will clear the stones from Last Chance immediately."
"You're quite perceptive. Once it's done, I'll leave right away and won't pursue the matter further."
Wei Chen was speaking the truth; there was no need for him to pursue it, as Ni Junlin was guarding here.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will have someone move the stones right away."
Sand Wolf quickly organized his men, gathering them at the entrance of the valley. Wei Chen casually glanced around and noticed a few Spirit Realm Experts hidden among them. He then called out loudly, "Those above Spirit Realm can stay in the valley; the rest can go move the stones."
The few Spirit Realm Experts stepped out of the crowd, looking helplessly at Sand Wolf.
Sand Wolf's expression remained unchanged as he agreed to Wei Chen's request.
Ni Junlin controlled the formation and opened a passage. Tens of thousands of Sand Wolf Gang bandits streamed out toward Last Chance. Once they had exited, only Sand Wolf and seven or eight high-ranking members remained in the valley, all of whom were quite formidable.
"You stay here. Once those stones are moved, everyone will return to the valley. You can do whatever you want then; it won't be too late," Wei Chen instructed before soaring into the air and joining the main force heading toward Last Chance. Each bandit held a torch, working through the night to move the stones; they couldn't do without torches.
Several hours later, the main force approached Last Chance.
Zhou Wu saw the distant flames approaching and was immediately alarmed. He ordered the convoy's guards to be on alert and flew up into the air, watching nervously. When he spotted Wei Chen flying closer, he gaped in surprise and quickly asked, "Brother Wei, what is going on?"
"All the Rolling Stone Formations in Last Chance have been broken by me. The road is blocked, so I had the Sand Wolf Gang come and move the stones. They made this mess, so they should clean it up themselves." Wei Chen smiled at Zhou Wu, who felt a chill run down his spine. How did he manage to command the Sand Wolf Gang?
"Young Master Wei, the Sand Wolf's strength is considerable, and he has a group of elite subordinates. How did you manage that?"
"I have them all under my control. Even if they don't want to work, they have to," Wei Chen replied confidently, directing the members of the Sand Wolf Gang to move the stones.
Zhou Wu returned to the convoy and reassured his guards not to be nervous. Qian the Shopkeeper hurried over and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what's going on over there?"
Zhou Wu relayed Wei Chen's words with a wry smile, "I don't know either. Young Master Wei is truly talented; I really can't figure out how he did it."
Last Chance was bustling with activity, the entire valley illuminated by torches, making it look as if it were on fire from a distance. Zhou Wu dared not leave the convoy recklessly; he was itching to take a look but could only endure.
Finally, morning arrived, and as dawn broke, Zhou Wu ordered his guards to remain vigilant before rushing into Last Chance.
What he saw left him utterly shocked.
He saw numerous bare-chested strong men shouting as they moved stones. Some of the stones were quite large, but those strong men worked together to push them aside, each one exerting themselves tirelessly.
Of course! Their leader was trapped in the formation and couldn't get out—who would dare slack off?
Zhou Wu couldn't imagine how Wei Chen had accomplished all of this.
But he didn't ask further; it was clear that Wei Chen was unwilling to share, so there was no need to pry.
“Master Wei, how long will this take?”
“Not much longer. I estimate we can leave by noon.”
“Are the Sand Wolf Gang trying to rob us? It looks like they want to wipe out the entire convoy.”
Zhou Wu felt a chill run down his spine. If the convoy entered Last Chance and all those rocks came tumbling down, it would truly be a total disaster.
Wei Chen shrugged and smiled. “To wipe them out completely is to gain everything. The Sand Wolf Gang is quite bold. If they succeed in this, Sister Qingya would unleash her wrath—ten Sand Wolf Gangs wouldn’t be enough to deal with her.”
“That’s true.” Zhou Wu nodded, though he sensed something was off. He wisely chose not to ask further questions. After all, it was Wei Chen’s plan; he had no reason to interfere.
“Master Wei, what do you plan to do with the Sand Wolf Gang?” Zhou Wu asked again.
Wei Chen gazed coldly at the Sand Wolf Gang bandits who were laboriously moving stones, a smirk forming on his lips. “Naturally, we’ll kill them all.”
Zhou Wu was taken aback, and after a moment, he gave Wei Chen a thumbs up and sighed as he flew back to the convoy.
“This guy really isn’t human…”
Zhou Wu chuckled bitterly to himself. If it were him, could he really do all this? Not controlling the Sand Wolf Gang members to move stones but simply killing them all—standing there and letting himself be killed one by one would take ages…
“When we return to Ling City, it will surely be a spectacle during the guest exchange! Those fellows won’t think much of a Spirit Realm youth.”
At noon, beneath the Last Chance, a path had already been cleared. Wei Chen instructed Zhou Wu to have the convoy wait in place while he "drove" the thousands of bandits from the Sand Wolf Gang back to the mountain valley, where Ni Junlin was waiting.
Once all the forces were inside the formation, Wei Chen requested, "Let me go down and talk to Sand Wolf; there are still some matters that need clarification."
"Why do you have to make things so complicated?"
Ni Junlin shot a cold glance at Wei Chen, then opened a gap in the Flowering Array, allowing Wei Chen to slip through. Despite his impatience, Ni Junlin would still follow Wei Chen's orders.
As soon as he entered the massive web, Sand Wolf approached with several core subordinates.
"Your Excellency, we have complied with your demands. Considering your convoy has suffered no losses, could you please withdraw the formation and grant us a way out?"
Sand Wolf was just over forty, with a shrewd and capable demeanor that was far from the loathsome image Wei Chen had imagined. Even his shiny bald head had a certain charm.
This was the man who led the Sand Wolf Gang to dominate the surrounding area, instilling fear in all. One should not judge a person by their appearance; this saying held true.
The others around him, however, looked shifty and were clearly not good people.
Wei Chen sneered, "The formation is not under my control; I don't possess such strength yet. The powerful individuals outside have asked me to inquire about something. If you provide me with a satisfactory answer, then you may live."
"Your Excellency, please. I will speak candidly," Sand Wolf lowered his head. Regardless of how angry or frustrated he felt inside, it was futile.
"Let's talk privately."
Wei Chen cast a deep glance at Sand Wolf, landing on the roof of a house in the valley. He was not foolish; if Sand Wolf and his subordinates attacked together, there would be no escape for him. However, he was unafraid of a one-on-one confrontation.
Sand Wolf dismissed his men and climbed onto the roof alone, clasping his fists in greeting. "What orders do you have, Your Excellency?"
"I already know that the people from the Ancient Spirit Academy bribed you to eliminate the Dingsheng Trading Company’s convoy. I only want one answer: who is the person responsible for the meeting?"
Sand Wolf was taken aback, his expression shifting slightly as he shook his head. "I do not know what you are referring to."
"This is your last chance. Otherwise, everyone here will die!" Wei Chen sneered.
"Just you? At Spirit Realm Level Three, you dare to act tough in front of the Sand Wolf Gang?"
A mocking look crossed Sand Wolf's face as he lunged forward, his right fist charged with surging Soul Power. In an instant, he closed the distance to Wei Chen and struck him hard in the abdomen.
"Are you desperate? Do you think your speed can keep me as a hostage? Sand Wolf, you are being too naive."
A voice reached Sand Wolf's ears as Wei Chen's figure floated ten meters away, looking at him with a cold smile.
Sand Wolf's heart tightened as he squinted at Wei Chen. He could hardly believe that his full-force punch had missed entirely.
"How could this kid be so fast?"
Not willing to accept defeat, Sand Wolf lunged again. But when he swung his fist toward Wei Chen, all that remained was an afterimage!
Wei Chen floated ten meters away once again.
"Attack!"
Sand Wolf barked, and his seven or eight elite subordinates rushed forward fiercely towards Wei Chen.
"Seeking death!"
A voice as cold as ice echoed from above. The skilled fighters froze momentarily, and then, with a series of explosions, they burst apart into a mist of blood.
Wei Chen's face was filled with horror. This woman, Ni Junlin, was simply too powerful! The Earth Soul Realm against the Spirit Realm was nothing short of a massacre!
Sand Wolf was equally terrified; he finally realized just how terrifying the expert who had set up the formation to trap them truly was!
At that moment, a Rainbow Serpent dove down rapidly. In an instant, the serpent exploded right in front of Sand Wolf's chest, causing him to suffer severe injuries and spit out blood as he collapsed to the ground, dejected.
The members of the Sand Wolf Gang stared in shock at everything unfolding before them. It wasn't until Wei Chen approached Sand Wolf that they snapped back to reality, retreating in fear while watching Wei Chen and Sand Wolf from a distance.
Wei Chen crouched down, his eyes filled with mockery. "Sand Wolf, the power of an Earth Soul Realm Expert is not something you can resist. Tell me honestly, who sent you to trouble Dingsheng Trading Company?"
"It was Mu Hua! It was the command of the eldest grandson of the Ancient Spirit Academy's Grand Elder! We are too weak to defy the Ancient Spirit Academy!"
