Chapter 872: Impatience Ruins Great Plans!
As the saying goes, enemies inevitably meet!
Gu Ming never imagined, not even in his dreams, that he would encounter his arch-enemy here!
And the people he brought with him, each one is a top expert from the Hundred Knowledge Hall, the weakest among them is above the Master-level Middle Stage, and Maestro Grandmasters are as numerous as could be.
At his command, these people could tear Jiang Feng to pieces!
Seeing a battle about to erupt, the inn's waitstaff and the manager who followed in were all scared frozen!
The manager hurriedly ran to the middle of the two groups, smiling bitterly as he tried to mediate, persuading this one, then that one, but no one paid him any attention, the people of Hundred Knowledge Hall continued to press step by step towards Jiang Feng.
"Stop!"
Just then, Weng Bojun, who had been sitting calmly in the middle, spoke, faintly stopping the hundred or so people about to charge forward.
Instantly, everyone halted, looking at him with confusion.
Even Gu Ming frowned and looked towards Weng Bojun.
"Young Master, be mindful of the situation, calm down for now, patience is key to the larger strategy!"
Weng Bojun softly said to Gu Ming.
Yet his chilling old eyes were also lightly fixed on Jiang Feng.
So this is the brat from Binhai who dared to cripple the Young Master and kill the three from Xiao Jinsan?
It seems he came with the Demon Moon Alliance, their relationship is indeed unusual, tangled together like this.
But, his arrival today is timely, saving the trouble of going to Binhai to find him later!
Even though Weng Bojun had this plan in mind, he didn't show it openly.
As he said himself, one should not sacrifice the greater for the smaller!
At once, he adjusted his expression, smiling as he stood up and walked towards the Demoness.
"Demoness, Fox Master, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to act on the same day, arriving one after another in Yuxi Town, seems Heaven wants us to join forces."
"Elder Weng, a pleasure to meet! I must thank your hall for informing us; I had planned to prepare a grand gift to properly thank Sect Master Gu when time allows later!"
The Demoness saw that Weng Bojun still considered the bigger picture, so she signaled her people to stand down, and spoke politely.
"Hehe, Fox Master, you're too kind. As they say, 'the fertile water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields!' Now that our two families are friends, sharing resources is only right."
Weng Bojun appeared even more magnanimous, yet he sneered coldly inside!
Later?
Sadly, you all probably won't make it back!
"Demoness, Fox Master, since our families have met by chance, why don't we head into the mountains together this afternoon, so we can look out for each other?" Weng Bojun suggested with a smile.
The Demoness slightly frowned.
Her intention, naturally, was not to mix with the Hundred Knowledge Hall, preferring to act on her own.
But now that Weng Bojun had spoken, refusing would likely embarrass both sides.
"Very well, then I'll trouble Elder Weng to look after us."
"Of course! Hehe, Fox Master, please have your people sit and rest, eat something, then we shall set off!"
Throughout, Weng Bojun never looked Jiang Feng in the eye, only conversing with the Demoness, as if Jiang Feng didn't exist.
But this precisely indicated his extreme hostility towards Jiang Feng, just barely suppressed.
After negotiating with the Demoness, Weng Bojun feigned authority, scolding the hundred or so men to return to their original positions.
Meanwhile, Gu Ming still wasn't willing to let it drop, glaring hatefully at Jiang Feng, his eyes flashing with murderous intent!
"Young Master, let's go back."
Weng Bojun grabbed Gu Ming and forcefully pulled him back.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng smirked playfully, then led the women of the Demon Moon Alliance towards the empty seats on the other side of the dining area.
Thus, the smoke of conflict temporarily dissipated.
The inn manager breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the waitstaff to follow and take the women's orders.
...
"Xiao Feng, did you notice, that Gu Ming still bears a deep grudge against us, especially towards you, he seems to want to tear you apart... this venture into Yuxi Ridge is bound to be troublesome."
After ordering, the Demoness quietly said to Jiang Feng.
"It's fine, the more the merrier."
Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly with a smile, sipping tea calmly.
As soon as he entered, he detected that Weng Bojun's aura was indeed formidable, stronger than Guan Haishan of the Qi Family before.
The people he brought were also no ordinary figures.
With such a combat team, claiming not to be able to gather all the Blood Ganoderma? Who would believe that!
Recalling what the inn manager said earlier, Jiang Feng seemed to understand something, a sly curve appearing at the corner of his lips.
Simultaneously—
Across the room, Gu Ming, drinking cup after cup of tea, never took his eyes off Jiang Feng and Shangguan Wan'er!
Against Jiang Feng, he bore hatred, and toward Shangguan Wan'er, it was an enraged frustration from humiliation beyond reach!
He wished he could first execute Shangguan Wan'er on the spot, then immerse her alive in a pig's cage to drown her!
"Uncle Weng, I can't wait long, when will we act?"
Gu Ming lowered his voice to ask.
"Young Master, be patient, when we reach Yuxi Pond, we'll act amid the chaos! None of them will survive!"
Weng Bojun confidently took a sip of tea, speaking slowly and methodically.
"Great! If that Jiang dares to resist then, break his limbs for me, so I can end him personally!"
Gu Ming growled viciously.
"No problem!"
After drinking and eating to their fill, avoiding the hottest sun, Weng Bojun felt sufficiently rested, so he led his group over towards the Demoness.
"Demoness, Fox Master, it's getting late, shall we set off?"
"Okay!"
The Demoness took a deep breath, knowing the moment had finally arrived.
She glanced at Jiang Feng for confirmation, seeing no further indication, she led the Demon Moon Alliance to stand as well, leaving the inn with Weng Bojun and his men, heading into Yuxi Ridge!
