Chapter 622: 622
"A yard is a yard, favors are favors, and they have to be repaid . Keeping the secret for me is a matter of principle . I trust that you would not betray your friends," Zhang Ruochen said with a smile .
A conqueror like Silvermoon was bound to become someone great in future . How could Zhang Ruochen waste her returned favor so easily?
"Swosh!"
Zhang Ruochen wielded the Rolling Thunder Skill, leaped into the air and set off alone like a flash of lightning .
Silvermoon sighed but broke into a smile .
Although she had only met Zhang Ruochen twice, the trust they had in each other was without any reservation . Perhaps this was a rapport between geniuses .
Upon Zhang Ruochen's return to Quicksand Canyon, Red Wish Emissary approached him immediately . "How did you know Silvermoon, the renegade?" she asked him coldly .
With an indifferent tone, Zhang Ruochen said, "Her Excellency, am I not allowed to have one or two personal friends? What's more, can't we be allies now that Silvermoon and us have a common enemy?"
Red Wish Emissary is not a pedantic person . She understood the saying, "There is no absolute enemy, only absolute benefits . "
Obviously, Silvermoon's feud was in line with her interest, which was to go against Di Yi .
Red Wish Emissary frowned and appeared to be in deep thought, weighing the pros and cons . She finally said after a long pause, "Silvermoon is indeed very powerful . We may go ahead to battle Di Yi if she gives us a hand . "
"However, Silvermoon has a very special status . If the High-level management of the Black Market hear that I joined efforts with Silvermoon to fight Di Yi, they will definitely punish me . "
Zhang Ruochen said, "Silvermoon just happens to take her revenge on Di Yi . What has it got to do with you?"
Red Wish Emissary knew Zhang Ruochen's words were pure sophistry, but she didn't know how to react . This was because she knew very well that they stand a greater chance in defeating Di Yi in battle if they work with Silvermoon .
Zhang Ruochen stared intently at Red Wish Emissary and said, "As soon as Di Yi dies, you would have established a firm footing . By then, you would be the most competent youth among the younger generation of Black Market . Even if the Black Market High-level management personnel know that you rode on someone unbefitting during your battle with Di Yi, you would still be the only worthy candidate for the newly-appointed young master .
The Red Wish Emissary sneered and glared at Zhang Ruochen, saying, "Who do you think you are? Why do I have the feeling that you are more eager to get rid of Di Yi than me?"
Zhang Ruchen realized that he had raised Red Wish Emissary's suspicion by talking too much .
"You will know my identity later on, but for now, dealing with Di Yi is top priority . We will have a second chance if we miss this opportunity . "
Zhang Ruochen took out the bloody parcel and handed it to Red Wish Emissary, saying, "This is Silvermoon's gift to you in demonstration of her determination . "
Suspicious, Red Wish Emissary took the parcel and opened it .
Seeing the Cyan-robed Emissary's head, Red Wish Emissary's pupils dilated and felt like she was suffocating .
After a long while, she repackaged the parcel and said, "This is indeed a lavish gift . . . However, the news of Silvermoon rushing to Eastern Evil Land will enter the ears of the High-level management of the Black Market . We need to move quickly . "
"Di Yi is in control of great power and force . We need to have a well-thought strategy even if we plan to battle him head-on . "
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind him and said, "If Di Yi really is in the Red Willow Heights, we can actually use the manor's array to our advantage . "
Red Wish Emissary shook her head and said: "When Di Yi entered Red Willow Heights, he would've controlled the ground-breaking hub first . How can we regain control of the manor's array now that we are outside of the manor?"
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a while and said, "We can divide ourselves into two groups . You, taking the lead, can help distract the evil masters at Red Willow Heights . While I will go directly to the underground altar in the manor to regain the control of the array of the manor . "
"How would you enter the Red Willow Heights without being detected?" asked Red Wish Emissary .
"I have my ways," said Zhang Ruochen .
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was so full of confidence, Red Wish Emissary stopped having further doubts .
Next, Zhang Ruochen and Red Wish Emissary continued to discuss the specific plan of their attack at Red Willow Heights . Every detail had been taken into account and every step was carefully inspected to minimize any careless mistakes .
This battle against Di Yi must be handled with care .
The two finalized their plan by noon .
Red Wish Emissary and Zhang Ruochen led the group of evil cultivators to a small town 50 miles from Red Willow Heights before it got dark .
At the town, Red Wish Emissary had long stationed the manpower to monitor every movement in Red Willow Heights .
Red Wish Emissary and Zhang Ruochen went into a tavern, sat down at a table, facing each other .
An elder with a fur hat emerged from within the tavern and walked up to Red Wish Emissary, greeting her with a bow, he said, "Her Excellency, bad news . Di Yi, who had entered the Red Willow Heights grounds had secretly coordinated with Zhangsun Lan who was outside the manor . With their joint effort, they had taken over the Red Willow Heights . Most of the people in the manor had turned renegade and subjected themselves to Di Yi . Those who refused to submit were destroyed . "
