Chapter 279 - Traitor

Chapter 279 Traitor

In the capital city, there was a plain hotel in the downtown area.

On the third floor, there was a half-bald middle-aged man living there. It was Cang Ying of the former Dragon Group.

He had been in the capital city, waiting for good news from Sika and wanting to do more business with him. But what he heard was the delegation had been destroyed because of Qin Hao, who appeared at the last minute again.

Qin Hao became his nightmare again.

Since Sika failed, he should have left yesterday. But the senior leaders of his sect wanted him to stay to see Qin Hao’s next move, so he stayed here.

Of course, he wasn’t alone. He had two servants, who had left to look for information.

At the moment, he heard footsteps and then knocks.

“Who?” Cang Ying was alarmed. Now he was like someone who did “underground work” and needed to pay attention to everything.

“Me, Li Er.”

Hearing the familiar voice, he opened the door.

After opening it, a man in his thirties entered the room.

“Where’s Wang San?” Cang Ying wondered. They left together, but only Li Er returned.

“We separated. He went to another place. I got emergency information, so I returned first.” Li Er said.

“What information?” Cang Ying asked hastily.

Li Er entered the room and closed the door carefully. He took a deep breath and said, “Elder Cang, bad news. I just learned that Li Zhanwu and Qin Hao had secretly gone to Beiwei City in northwest yesterday. They’re probably to kill Martial Cultivators in Shaxian Town.”

Cang Ying went pale, “How did they know about Shaxian Town?”

“Well, someone must have told them. There are good intelligence people in Huaxia too.” Li Er said seriously, “Elder Cang, what should we do? The Martial Cultivator Conference is still going on, and all the representatives from the major sects are there. If they really are attacked, we’ll never be able to rise again.”

“What? The conference is still going on?” Cang Ying asked angrily.

“I just contacted them. It will cost a few more days. Nobody knows who should be the chief, and the sects are arguing. They all have their candidates.” Li Er said.

Cang Ying was angry, “In this situation? Don’t they know that the more time they waste, the more dangerous they will be and the more time Sky Group would have for preparation?”

Li Er smiled bitterly, “Elder Cang, you know the situation. The sects only care about their own interests. Even though we are one of the seven, we just seem to be getting along.”

“But now it’s a crucial time. It’s a time of life and death. Can’t they forget about their differences and individual interests now and work together to fight against enemies?” Cang Ying said angrily, but he forgot that he was also a selfish person. The Cang Hai Sect he was in also only cared about their own interests. Martial Cultivators didn’t care about the big picture at all.

They were really selfish and only cared about themselves rather than others. That was the traditions for individual Martial Cultivators and sects. They doomed to pay a heavy price for it today.

“Elder Cang, now it’s not the time to talk about this. What do we do?” Li Er said hastily.

Cang Ying calmed down and realized that it was no use complaining and they should do something. If the Shaxian Town was attacked, all Martial Cultivators would be killed later.

“Relax, it’s not that easy to find Shaxian Town. Without a guide, they would not be able to find it. We have time to tell them to evacuate.” Cang Ying said calmly.

Cang Ying calmed down and so did Li Er. Indeed, it was not that easy to find Shaxian Town and ordinary people would not be able to find it.

“Elder Cang, you’re right. They can’t find Shaxian Town. Even if they find it, there are so many elite gathering there, including skilled Martial Cultivators. The Sky Group was too weak to be enough to be a starter.” said Li Er breezily.

Cang Ying objected seriously, “If Qin Hao isn’t there, then it’s alright. But if he’s here, anything can happen. We have to notify them. Let’s go now.”

“We don’t wait for Wang San?” Li Er said hurriedly.

“Wang San…Oh my…” Cang Ying was irritated, “Go find him. One hour at most. If you can’t find him in an hour, then we’ll leave.”

“Okay.” Li Er knew how serious it was and there was no time to waste, “I’ll go then.”

“Knock, knock…” Before Li Er could leave, there had been a knock on the door.

“Who?” said someone in there.

“Me, Wang San.” It was a familiar voice.

“Wang San?” The answer was full of joy. Speaking of the devil and he was here. He could save his efforts of looking for him.

Li Er opened the door and said excitedly, “Brother San, finally you’re here. You…huh? Who are they?”

Li Er froze and looked at several people standing behind him alarmedly. The leading one was a short, thin old man.

“What is it?” Cang Ying quickly came over and his expression changed immediately after taking a look, “It’s you…?”

Obviously, he knew them.

They were nobody else but the Gapan Samurais that came with the WS people. The one leading them was called Aikawa and was the one responsible for the delegation.

The Sika delegation was gone and those from Gapan luckily saved their skins. Because from the very beginning, they did not kill anyone or insult anyone in Huaxia. They were quite well-behaved and cautious as if they had been only here to watch.

“Haha, Mr. Cang. We’ve met again.” Aikawa said while laughing.

Cang Ying’s face twitched and glared at Wang San seriously. He had certainly realized that Wang San had betrayed them. Otherwise, nobody else would know they were staying here.

Wang San was quite young. Seeing Cang Ying’s sight, he was scared and dared not to look at him.

“Elder Cang, I, I was forced by them.” Wang San said in a low voice.

“Fuck Off!” Cang Ying roared while gritting his teeth and looked at Aikawa. He would deal with Wang San later, but not now.

“What is it, Mr. Aikawa?” Cang Ying said coldly.

Aikawa smiled sinuously, “Nothing, just want Mr. Cang to come with us.”

“To where?” Cang Ying was alarmed and was ready to deal with any emergency.

“Honestly, I’m not interested in you, Mr. Cang. But Qin Hao and the Sky Group would certainly be interested. So, we’re meeting them.” Aikawa did not beat around the bushes and was straight to the point.

Cang Ying’s expression totally changed, “Mr. Aikawa, now you’re with the Sky Group? Don’t forget I invited you here.”

“Well, we certainly didn’t do that. Rest assured. I just want to send you to Qin Hao and do some business with them.” Aikawa was still smiling but the smile was very scary.

Cang Ying knew that despite his appearance, this thin old man was very strong. So he would not easily take action.

“Mr. Aikawa, if you want a business, you can do it with me. Only I can give you the most benefits. Qin Hao could give you nothing that does you good. You want money or secrets? I have both.” Cang Ying wanted to move Aikawa with his top secrets of Huaxia.

Aikawa shook his head, “Mr. Cang, I do want those. But Qin Hao has something you don’t have, and that’s what I want more.”

“What is it? I don’t think my stuff is not as good as his. At least, he would never sell top secrets of Huaxia.” Cang Ying’s words showed that he knew no shame.

“Hahaha.” Aikawa laughed disgustedly, “Mr. Cang, you really don’t have a conscience. It’s enough. Someone, take Mr. Cang with us.”

Cang Ying’s expression turned cold. He could not move the other party with all the words. Then he had to fight. At least he was a master in the Perfection Stage and would not be taken down so easily.

Seeing two people rush to him, Cang Ying was ready to throw his palm out for attack and at the same time, Li Er threw a dagger at him like lightning.

“Ah!” With a scream, the Gapan warrior could not even handle such an attack and was blown away.

After that, Cang Ying was about to run when he felt cold air and pain in his back and a dagger was pierced into his body.

Cang Ying angrily turned around and saw Li Er holding the dagger that had stabbed him, and he yelled, “Traitor, die!”

“Boom!” Cang Ying threw his palm at him. Li Er had already anticipated his reaction and was ready. So he quickly sprinted away, but he was still hurt by the palm and was blew away into a room and knocked over desks and chairs in there.

“You traitor, I’ll kill you!” Cang Ying was about to throw himself to Li Er and kill him, but Aikawa took action. He easily launched a palm at Cang Ying on the back, who was then knocked over with blood spraying from his mouth.

“Mr. Cang, now you have no friends. I hope you can give it up.” Aikawa walked in with his sinuous smile.

Cang Ying looked up to glare at Aikawa, and looked at the two traitors, Li Er and Wang San, and said hatefully, “If it were not because of the two traitors, can you catch me so easily?”

“Haha, that is true. But there’s no if. Now I got you.”

After hearing him, Cang Ying was even angrier. Staring at Li Er, he asked, “Why?”

Li Er rose from the ground and wiped the blood on his lips before he said calmly, “Sorry, Elder Cang, I don’t want to do it either. But clever man acts according to the situation, so I can only…”

“Hahaha…” Cang Ying laughed, disgusted by him, “What clever people? You just want to save your own skin. You want to keep your dirty life. You think you can be saved by helping them today?”

“At least when they turn you to the Sky Group, I’m the one who caught you.” Li Er said sharply.

“Hahaha…” Cang Ying laughed even louder, seeming to be happy, “You think the Sky Group will want you to join in? You’re so funny, hahaha… All Martial Cultivators are like you, of course, you’ll all die!”

“It’s such a pity that I didn’t understand till now…I really regret it!!!” The last shout showed all his remorse. If he were like Chen Feng who had chosen the right path, he would have ended differently.

But there was no way that he could choose again. He couldn’t do anything but let himself be forced to go to the northwest by Aikawa and others. Who knew what his fate would turn out? Maybe what he would face was only death.
