"Brother, if we’re going, we go together, storm the dragon’s den and the tiger’s lair as one!"

Ye Fei smiled faintly, "No, too many people would only make us a bigger target. The condition of your young master can’t afford any further delay, listen to me."

Lu Houde also spoke up at this time, "How about this, Brother Wu, you’re highly skilled, so you’ll be responsible for sneaking in to get the medicine. Number Three and Number Five will assist you in secret, in case of trouble, they can provide some support."

Understanding what Lu Houde had in mind, Ye Fei no longer refused.

After the three of them left, the Second Elder, with a hint of complaint, said to Lu Houde, "Big brother, why did you really let them go? You don’t actually believe that kid can save the young master with just a ginseng, do you?"

Lu Houde sighed deeply, "Of course, I don’t believe it. But now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to try, don’t we?"

"Also, tell everyone to be ready to evacuate at any time, just in case things go south over there, we’ll need to move immediately."

"Yes!"

The Second Elder understood why big brother wanted Number Three to follow; he agreed and went off to carry out the orders.

Elsewhere, as soon as Ye Fei and his two companions left through the secret passage, they headed straight for Tianhai Sect.

By the time they arrived at Tianhai Sect, it was already deeply dusky.

Ye Fei took up residence in the nearest inn to the Tianhai Sect from where he could overlook the entire internal situation of the Tianhai Sect.

Number Three Elder and Duan Meng stood in front of the bed, sighing depressingly.

"Damn it! Those bunch of bastards from Pangu Sect actually sent so many masters to occupy our Tianhai Sect. This infiltration might not have a high chance of success!"

"If we can’t sneak in, we’ll just mount a strong attack! I’ll create chaos to draw the enemies away, and you two seize the chance to get to the secret chamber and grab the medicine!"

"How is that acceptable, let me draw the enemies away!"

"No, it should be me!"

The two of them argued back and forth, cheeks flushed red with exertion, then turned to look and saw Ye Fei actually closing his eyes to rest on the bed.

Number Three Elder couldn’t help but burst out, "Come on, Brother Wu, aren’t you being a little too leisurely? You don’t think our mission this time is very simple, do you?"

"It’s not even dark yet, and instead of familiarizing yourself with the interior layout of Tianhai Sect, you’re sleeping. Aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?"

Duan Meng also stepped forward, trying to persuade him with a forced smile, "Brother Wu, our opponent this time is extraordinary. The three revered ones of Pangu Sect are here in town, even our Sect Master fell to their hands. We can’t take this too lightly."

Ye Fei was unfazed and didn’t even open his eyes, "A bunch of chickens and dogs. Why waste time on them? Your young master has already given me the map of the place. As soon as it gets dark, I will just go in and take it."

Duan Meng was rendered speechless by this.

Number Three Elder just sneered and shook his head.

In his heart, he thought, Keep being arrogant, I want to see how you’ll fall flat on your face when the time comes.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.

Ye Fei finally got up and prepared to move.

Number Three Elder and Duan Meng also wanted to follow, but Ye Fei waved them off, "Just wait here for my message. I’ll be back soon."

Duan Meng still wanted to insist, but Number Three Elder pulled him back, "He’s worried you’ll get in the way. Just stay with me. If he runs into trouble, we can back him up, right?"

Duan Meng thought about it and agreed, but he still wasn’t at ease, so he slipped a tiny listening device into Ye Fei’s pocket.

"Brother, rest easy, if you run into any trouble, I’ll come to your rescue immediately."

Ye Fei smiled and nodded, then left through the door.

The two upstairs gazed through binoculars, keeping watch over everything below.

Soon, they spotted Ye Fei’s figure, agile as a monkey, leaping over the high wall and disappearing into the great courtyard of Tianhai Sect in an instant.

"Impressive skills!"

Duan Meng couldn’t help but admire.

Number Three Elder, however, snorted coldly, "His skills may be great, but are they better than the old Sect Master’s? Hmph, even the old Sect Master met his end at the hands of those three, yet he..."

"Shut your damn mouth!"

Duan Meng spat angrily, his own heart in his throat as he ceaselessly offered prayers.

Brother Wu, may Buddha bless you, let you succeed swiftly, and please don’t encounter those three bastards.

Time ticked by, second by second.

From the listening device, they could hear extremely faint footsteps, the whooshing of the wind, and the creaking of doors opening.

The two of them were extremely nervous, clenching their fists and listening intently, dreading any unwanted sounds.

Soon there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Found the ginseng," Ye Fei said in an extremely soft voice.

But before the two could rejoice, they heard sinister laughter through the listening device.

"This infrared alarm device really works great! It actually helped us catch a little pest!"

"Shan Shake, Hai Wu, is it your turn to make a move, or should I?"

"For such trash, why bother ourselves. Someone, seize him!"

"Yes!"

Then there was the sound of a scuffle.

Duan Meng stood up in panic, "It’s over! Brother Wu has been cornered by those three bastards, we need to go rescue him quickly!"

"Rescue what?"

Number Three Elder bellowed.

"What can just the two of us do! Isn’t that going to our deaths?"

After speaking, he made a phone call.

"Big brother, the kid has failed. The secret passage is no longer safe, we need to evacuate immediately!"

No sooner had he hung up than Duan Meng’s fist came flying.

Clang!

A fist as big as a clay pot smashed squarely onto Number Three Elder’s face.

"So the real reason big brother sent you was for this! You lot are heartless and disloyal!"

Number Three Elder got angry too, "Who’s heartless and disloyal! Aren’t we doing this to ensure the young master’s safety! Aren’t we doing this to protect the remaining spark of Tianhai Sect! Stop your yapping, Wu Feng is done for, now follow me and leave!"

Duan Meng gritted his teeth tightly, "You go if you want to! Brother Wu is in danger because he tried to rescue the young master; if we don’t save him, are we even human?"

After saying this, Duan Meng opened the window and jumped down to the ground below.

Number Three Elder cursed under his breath but, worried about Number Five, followed him anyway.
