Conquer the game world

Chapter 32 Temptation
After Xiong Batian gave the order, two more teams quietly set out to carry out their mission in order to avoid attracting He Tian's attention and arousing suspicion.

Ye Feng and Shi Lei were currently traversing the mountains, using the traps Ye Feng had set to ambush two small teams that came out to scout.

However, the two did not kill all the Lion Clan members who came out to scout. Now, Ye Feng is still being chased by two squad leaders and several Lion Clan members.

The two captains were very frustrated. They had thought that with both teams working together, they could easily take down a few small fry, but they hadn't expected the other side to have set up so many traps outside.

Fortunately, the enemy's trap was poorly laid. Although it killed many members of the team, Ye Feng's trap failed to succeed in sneaking around them after they were on guard.

This was also deliberately set up by Ye Feng. It was an obvious trap that was not powerful enough to pose a threat to a high-level Spirit Light martial artist. Now, the captain is chasing after Ye Feng according to Ye Feng's plan.

In their eyes, Ye Feng was just a small fry who only knew how to use traps to launch sneak attacks. As long as they were careful, they could catch up with the kid ahead and definitely take him down. Although the losses this time were quite significant, as long as they could kill him, they should be able to explain themselves to Boss Xiong. At least they wouldn't be punished.

However, Ye Feng's escape speed was even faster than they had imagined. If they hadn't confirmed that Ye Feng was only a fifth-level Spirit Light cultivator, they definitely wouldn't have dared to pursue him any further.

Having confirmed that Ye Feng was only at the fifth level of the Spiritual Light realm, everyone assumed that he had used some special method to increase his speed. They believed such a method couldn't last long and would definitely have side effects. Therefore, they continued their pursuit of Ye Feng.

If Ye Feng wanted to shake off the guys behind him, he only needed to activate his full acceleration mode and he could disappear in no time. However, Ye Feng certainly wouldn't do that, as he had prepared a big surprise for them ahead.

The two sides maintained their distance, one pursuing and the other fleeing, and soon arrived at the foot of Shuixuan Mountain. The two squad leaders didn't hesitate and led their teams inside.

As soon as they entered, Ye Feng activated the trap. This trap was more powerful than the previous one and was enough to pose a threat to everyone.

The Lion Clan members were somewhat panicked after falling into the ambush, especially since the traps were more powerful this time, and their lives could be in danger if they weren't careful.

At this moment, Shi Lei, Shui Yingwanhai, and the other two who were lying in ambush suddenly attacked. The people who were busy dealing with them were caught off guard, and several of them were killed on the spot.

At this point, everyone was already considering retreating. They had initially pursued Ye Feng with a glimmer of hope, and continued the pursuit because they had suffered too many casualties and couldn't swallow their anger.

Seeing that the enemy had laid an ambush and that other people had suddenly appeared, the members of the Lion Faction became increasingly wary. Just as they were preparing to retreat, they discovered that their escape route was also blocked by traps.

At this moment, panic and despair finally began to creep into their hearts.

Xiong Batian was furiously yelling at a squad leader, "Useless! What the hell are you two squads doing?"

This squad leader was one of the men who had been chasing Ye Feng earlier. Just when they were all in despair and thought they were going to die here, they were struggling desperately.

Unexpectedly, the trap blocking his way suddenly loosened, and he seized the opportunity to rush out. Not daring to linger any longer, he quickly returned to report the situation.

What he might not know is that Ye Feng and his group deliberately let the tiger return to the mountain, so that the intelligence from here could reach Xiong Batian, making Xiong Batian understand that there was a great threat outside and making him uneasy.

"Boss, it's not that we're not good enough, they're just too cunning and there are too many of them. We're no match for them." The squad leader was afraid of being punished, so his report was only half true, and he didn't dare to reveal the true number of the enemy.

At this moment, Xiong Batian was caught in a dilemma. If he ignored these people, they might be ambushed again at any time. If he spent his energy dealing with them, the progress of breaking the formation would be greatly slowed down.

"Xiong Batian, how long are you going to keep this from me?" He Tian stormed up to Xiong Batian. "I know that of the two teams you went out, only this guy came back. What happened?"

He Tian's aggressive accusations displeased Xiong Batian, but there was nothing he could do. At least He Tian was still useful for now, and it was necessary for him to win He Tian over in order to stand on the side of public opinion.

"It's nothing, just a few small fry causing trouble," Xiong Batian replied coldly, his temper flaring.

"A few small fry? Don't mess with me. A few people can't just eat your two squads like that." He Tian was very dissatisfied with Xiong Batian's attitude. "I don't care. If you don't solve this problem quickly, I'll take my men and leave, and pretend I was never here."

He Tian's words greatly displeased Xiong Batian, but the current situation also infuriated him. "Fine, I'll take the main force, leaving only a small group here to keep an eye on the Star Dust Sect's movements. I'll personally deal with the other small fry first. Are you satisfied now?" After considering it, Xiong Batian made up his mind.

"Wait a minute, Xiong Batian, I'll take my men with me. I won't be at ease until I see them dead," He Tian suddenly said.

Now that He Tian knew the situation, Xiong Batian stopped hiding it and immediately agreed to take He Tian with him.

After giving the order, the Lion Clan members who remained on the perimeter to guard the main peak did not move, creating a false impression for the Star Dust Sect disciples inside the main peak, while the rest secretly withdrew from the main peak.

"Hurry up, it'll be bad if Xing Tianyu and the others find out. Let's get moving!" Xiong Batian urged.

"Boss, why are you making such a fuss? We're about to break the formation, and you're abandoning the Star Dust Sect?" Gan Xiong and Wang Hu asked Xiong Batian from the side. This decision was made suddenly, and neither of them had been prepared beforehand. However, the two of them still obediently carried out the order quickly.

"Never mind all that, let's deal with the other small fry first." Xiong Batian was in a bad mood and didn't say much more.

Seeing that their leader was unwilling to say more, the two immediately dared not ask any more questions. They knew Xiong Batian's temper well. Although he was usually very gentle, they would suffer if he exploded.

"Wow, Ye Feng, you're amazing!" Everyone was very excited after killing several members of the Lion Clan, especially Wan Hai and Shui Ying, who felt a great sense of relief.

"Ye Feng, you've got a lot of clever ideas. I'm impressed. You'll be in charge from now on. Just say the word." Wan Hai patted Ye Feng's chest, acknowledging Ye Feng's leadership.

"Don't get too excited yet. More people will definitely be coming soon, and it'll be a tough battle. Don't be so scared you'll wet your pants," Ye Feng said to Wan Hai.

Of the group, Ye Feng was more worried about the other two besides Shi Lei. They came from better backgrounds than the others and had certainly lived a comfortable life since childhood. He wondered how much strength they could muster when they actually fought those guys.

Just as Ye Feng was pondering, Shi Lei returned.

"They're here! Ye Feng, you were right! There are so many people here!" Shi Lei excitedly ran towards Ye Feng.

Having already experienced several major battles, Shi Lei was no longer surprised to see so many people; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited. He was confident that Ye Feng's trap could easily wipe out the enemy.

"Has the array's defenses been activated? Let them in, otherwise we won't be able to entertain them." Hearing that many people had arrived, Ye Feng was still a little worried, but he forced himself to suppress his worries. At this point, Ye Feng was already level 20, and he was very confident in the traps he had set up. They were not comparable to the ordinary traps he had set up before to confuse the enemy.

Stardust Gate, on the main peak.

"Sect Leader, the disciples report that the Lion Clan on the outskirts seems to be making some unusual movements. Shouldn't we also move out?" Shui Xuan reported the situation to Xing Tianyu. Although Shui Xuan was extremely anxious, he had suppressed his anxiety before. Now that he had received news that the Lion Clan seemed to have withdrawn a lot of people, even though this news was just a rough guess from a Xingchen Sect disciple, Shui Xuan was already thinking of going out to fight to the death. At this moment, he was even more inclined to believe it was true and wanted to persuade Xing Tianyu to lead everyone out to fight them to the death.

"Is there concrete evidence?" Xing Tianyu asked Shui Xuan in return.

“Well, the disciples of the sect have observed that the Lion Sect disciples who are breaking the formation seem to have slowed down their pace and are not as fierce as before, and…” Shui Xuan wanted to persuade Xing Tianyu, but was suddenly interrupted by Xing Tianyu.

"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. These are all just guesses. You don't have any concrete evidence, right? Maybe this is an enemy trap. What should we do then?" Xing Tianyu had made up his mind to play the coward and hide no matter what. He was probably a little pleased to hear that the Lion Sect, who were supposed to be breaking the formation, weren't doing so fiercely.

"But, Sect Leader, this is an opportunity! If we don't seize it, how will we turn things around?" Shui Xuan said anxiously, raising his voice considerably.

"Alright, I have my own ideas. Let's not rush this matter and wait and see." Shui Xuan's repeated persuasion had already made Xing Tianyu somewhat dissatisfied, but the current crisis situation made Xing Tianyu dare not get angry with her, for fear that if he angered Shui Xuan, she would turn against him from within, which would be troublesome. After all, the outer formation was broken so easily because the newly recruited disciple Qi Lun was a spy who colluded with him from the inside.

Xing Tianyu suppressed his anger. Since he couldn't vent his anger, he would just stall and not let him leave.

As for the spy Qi Lun, he is currently on his way to the mountain range where Ye Feng and his group are located, and his identity is also that of a squad leader.
