As for the attack on Dragon Tiger Hall, Ling Chen wasn’t worried. After all, Dragon Tiger Hall has many masters from the Heavenly List. As long as they hold out against the first wave of frontal assault and the enemy sees things are unfavorable, they definitely won’t go for a prolonged battle. Besides, he had arranged for Ren Donglin to be in ambush, and if things got really tough, Ren Donglin would assist.

"Big brother, how many people went to the hospital last night?"

"Not many, only over twenty. Knowing that, we shouldn’t have sent so many, it was a waste of manpower."

Wei Jiahao replied, "If I had known, I would have let Yu stay. With him around, we might have captured one or two more Heavenly List masters." The Yu mentioned was Yu Beifeng, Su Cheng’en’s disciple, and Xu Ming’s junior brother; he was also a Heavenly List master, not weak in strength. At that time, Ling Chen was worried about the safety of Qiu Yong and the others, so he had Yu Beifeng accompany them all the way to ensure their safety.

"It was just to give them a lesson; it’s not yet time for a life-and-death battle."

Hearing Ling Chen’s words, Wei Jiahao asked curiously, "Sixth Brother, who was the person you captured last night?"

"He was a skilled person invited by Dangyang Sect at a high price, nicknamed Ghost Claw. Anyway, I’ve never heard of him. However, his strength is indeed strong and not to be underestimated."

"Ghost Claw?" Qiu Yong chimed in, "I have some impression of this nickname. It’s said that this person’s martial arts are all in his ten fingers. Fingers are actually one of the most fragile parts of the body, but that person somehow made his ten fingers as strong as steel, with great destructive power. Because of this, people gave him the nickname ’Ghost Claw.’ However, his style is quite eerie, acting only according to his likes without fussing over morals or rules. Also, he’s usually very low-key, so it’s normal you haven’t heard of his name."

"This time, the biggest loss should be Dangyang Sect. Not only did their Heavenly List master get captured, but they also lost many elite disciples. I estimate their combat power would decrease by thirty to forty percent," Ling Chen said.

"Sixth Brother, in my opinion, we might as well take this opportunity to directly attack Dangyang Sect," Qiu Yong suggested. "Qi Yong and Zhu Hong are trapped in East Sea City, and although we can’t find their trail, they won’t be able to leave for a while. Now Dangyang Sect is leaderless. If we launch an unexpected attack, Dangyang Sect definitely won’t withstand it. Destroying Dangyang Sect would give us more breathing room. What do you think?"

"I think Elder Qiu’s proposal is good." A voice came, and Ling Chen turned to look at the canteen entrance, seeing Tong Zhentian walking in.

"Elder Tong, you agree too?"

Tong Zhentian nodded, "We can’t stay passive all the time. As long as the timing is right, we might as well take the initiative. Moreover, the entire Martial Arts world is watching us now. If Dragon Tiger Hall doesn’t do something, others will think we are easy to bully."

Ling Chen pondered for a while, then said, "If Dragon Tiger Hall sends troops to Dangyang Sect, we’ll have to divert a large part of our forces. I’m worried that the Dark Pavilion might seize this opportunity to exploit."

"Your concern isn’t wrong. However, I’ve analyzed the overall strength of Dangyang Sect. It’s a ragtag group consisting of many smaller sects. Although they have many people, there aren’t many truly formidable ones. You, the Eight Eccentrics, and along with Yu Beifeng and Chen Junfeng assisting from the side, are enough to level Dangyang Sect. As for Dragon Tiger Hall, several elders and I will stay behind. Even if the Dark Pavilion launches a counterattack, we have enough strength to handle it."

Since everyone is of the same opinion, Ling Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse. Besides, this was indeed a good opportunity.

After breakfast, Ling Chen and everyone went to the office to analyze intelligence on Dangyang Sect and devise a plan. Ling Chen was not unfamiliar with Dangyang Sect; back in the day, he had a personal grudge with them. Later, when Dangyang Sect was allied by the God Organization, they had several confrontations. But since Yi Shuiyan died, Dangyang Sect was leaderless, and factions within fought fiercely for the position of Sect Leader, causing Dangyang Sect to remain dormant in the Martial Arts world for a while. It wasn’t until Qi Yong, an outsider, appeared that Dangyang Sect’s situation gradually stabilized.

Only, although the name Dangyang Sect hadn’t changed, it was no longer the Dangyang Sect of old. Previously, Dangyang Sect was dedicated to nurturing its disciples and was considered a reputable sect. However, since Qi Yong took over, Dangyang Sect had become a place filled with unsavory characters, recruiting idle martial artists without caring about their origins or backgrounds, as long as they were willing to serve Dangyang Sect, they could join.

As a result, Dangyang Sect became a mixed bag, with good and bad people mixed together.

...

At this moment, a few people were sitting in an underground subway tunnel. Watching the subway whizzing past them occasionally, the men sealed their lips and remained silent.

Before too long, a man came running from a distance, carrying a bag in his hand. Upon getting closer, the man took out several steaming buns from the bag and handed them to everyone, saying, "Eat these while they’re hot. There’s nothing else around here to buy except these."

"How’s the situation outside?" A middle-aged man eating a meat bun asked expressionlessly.

"Sect Leader, we’d better stay hidden here for a few days and not rush to go out. You’ve seen Ling Chen’s abilities, and if we return to the surface, it’s very likely we’ll expose our location."

Upon hearing this, another man spat, complaining, "Damn, when have we ever been so miserable?"

"Are you blaming me for poor leadership?"

Seeing Qi Yong’s cold gaze, the man shivered slightly and hurriedly explained, "Sect Leader, don’t misunderstand, I have no such intention."

Qi Yong said with a hint of frost, "This time, we were misled. I thought we were careful enough, but they still found us. Hmph! I underestimated Ling Chen. However, although we suffered a big loss, the people of the Heavenly Dragon Sect didn’t fare any better. From what I know, they suffered the same losses as us."

"Sect Leader, what should we do now? We can’t just keep hiding here."

"Ling Chen can’t track us forever. After a few days, we’ll figure out a way to return to Dangyang Sect."

Vice Sect Leader Huang Jie spoke up, "Sect Leader, I checked before, and there’s a sewage tunnel under this subway tunnel. We can follow that tunnel to the suburbs; once there, Ling Chen shouldn’t be able to find us. Instead of sitting here and waiting, we might as well make an effort to leave this damned place early."

After listening to Huang Jie’s suggestion, Qi Yong hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright, everyone rest for a bit, and we’ll set off later."
