Time reversed to the Rocsha Ancient Road.
At this moment, Qian Gui Shou and Feng Qingyang's teams were locked in a tense standoff.
Seeing the situation turn in his favor, Qian Gui Shou looked up and smiled, saying, "Brother Feng, since you know there is no way out for you, I advise you to—"
"Ha!" Feng Qingyang suddenly interrupted with a cold laugh.
Qian Gui Shou heard Feng Qingyang's sharp rebuke: "Do you know what it feels like to have a venomous snake at your throat?"
In an instant, a black serpent coiled around Qian Gui Shou's neck. However, it was not a real snake but a long black whip.
Qian Gui Shou looked at Feng Qingyang at the other end of the whip and said, "Feng Qingyang, you resort to trickery?"
"Ha! It seems you were the one who played the first trick."
With a gentle tug, Feng Qingyang pulled, causing Qian Gui Shou's neck to involuntarily stretch forward. Qian Gui Shou felt an icy chill beside his neck and could not help but lower his gaze. He saw that the end of the black whip was adorned with a blue jade, from which all the coldness emanated. The blue jade hung beside Qian Gui Shou's neck, resembling the fangs of a venomous snake poised against his skin.
"Is this your weapon 'Ci Yu'?" Qian Gui Shou's eyes lingered on the blue jade, revealing a hint of fear.
"Indeed. This cold jade has been dormant in the extreme cold for a thousand years. A mere prick on your neck will cause your blood to instantly congeal. The blood that cannot flow will burst forth from your other eight meridians, splattering everywhere—a thought that chills the bones. Am I right, Qian Gui Shou?" Feng Qingyang said calmly.
"What do you want?" Qian Gui Shou asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"It is quite simple. You trade your life for the life of someone from the Bounty House; this deal is more advantageous for you," Feng Qingyang said.
Qian Gui Shou gritted his teeth and replied, "Fine."
Feng Qingyang held Qian Gui Shou as a hostage and walked a considerable distance before releasing him.
Wen Zhuo seemed quite aggrieved and said, "Feng Qingyang, you just let him go like that? What if someone from the Gate of Life and Death comes after us again?"
Feng Qingyang smiled and replied, "The people from the Gate of Life and Death only concern themselves with life and death. If they do not die, they will live. They won't strike the same opponent twice; just like us at the Bounty House, they have their own rules. Am I right, Qian Gui Shou?"
Qian Gui Shou snorted coldly and said, "I have repaid your kindness. I am leaving now; do you wish to keep me here?"
Feng Qingyang shook his head. As Qian Gui Shou turned to leave, Feng Qingyang suddenly called out to him, "Though I have no intention of keeping you here, I do have a word of advice."
"What is it?" Qian Gui Shou stopped in his tracks and looked back at Feng Qingyang.
"If there is another opportunity next time, I will still save your life," Feng Qingyang said with a smile.
Qian Gui Shou replied, "Kindness has been repaid, and my life is preserved. It seems this is my most advantageous move."
Wen Zhuo watched as Qian Gui Shou walked further away and asked Feng Qingyang, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that he was..."
Feng Qingyang quickly covered Wen Zhuo's mouth and looked at the slowly rising sun in the distance, smiling as he said, "Some things are best kept deep in the heart and not spoken aloud."
“Vice Leader, Vice Leader!” Liu He burst into the study like a gust of wind. Jiang Manlou, who was in the study, frowned and spoke first, “Has the person from the Gate of Life and Death failed to complete their task?”
Liu He was momentarily taken aback and quickly replied, “You already know?”
“Hmph!” Jiang Manlou rose and walked to the window, speaking coldly, “Yan Cong'er is well aware of my entanglement with Huo Xiaolong. He wishes to watch the tiger fight from the mountain and then reap the benefits! This old fox is as troublesome as Huo Xiaolong. Never mind, once I deal with that old fool Huo Xiaolong, I will turn my attention to Yan Cong'er.”
Liu He spread his hands and said, “What should we do now? Are we really going to wait for Feng Qingyang to step into Nian Yang City and enter our Yue Yun Gang?”
Jiang Manlou replied coldly, “Absolutely not. I have waited for many years; I will not allow this Wind to ruin my plans. Let’s wait and see; I will make sure this fellow pays for it.”
Liu He lowered his head, his expression inscrutable. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Vice Leader, what do you think we should do? Should we set an ambush halfway or lay out plans within the city, waiting to capture Feng Qingyang and his group as soon as they arrive?”
Jiang Manlou narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness in his gaze. “Feng Qingyang managed to evade the assassination from the Gate of Life and Death; he is certainly no ordinary person. Moreover, those around him cannot be underestimated either. If we act recklessly halfway, it could lead to unforeseen complications.”
As he spoke, Manlou turned around, facing away from Liu He. “The city is our territory. We can secretly arrange our people around the headquarters of Yue Yun Gang, pretending that everything is normal. Once Feng Qingyang steps into our gang, we will catch them off guard and trap them inside. However, this must be done very discreetly; we cannot let any rumors leak out. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Liu He hurriedly replied, “Vice Leader, rest assured. I will be careful and cautious; I will not let you down. But what if Huo Xiaolong becomes suspicious?”
Jiang Manlou sneered, “That old fool is now at his wit's end. His mind is solely focused on what Feng Qingyang is bringing him; he likely won’t pay much attention to anything else. Besides, he still trusts me to some extent. As long as we act meticulously, he won’t notice a thing.”
Liu He nodded slightly. The shadow on his face deepened in a place where Manlou could not see him, but he still respectfully said, “Vice Leader is wise; I will follow your orders.”
