It was indeed very bold to use the signal flare to lure the seven Saints away, but it was the only way Xiao Chen could think of at the moment.
Xiao Chen did not know if he would succeed or not. Even he himself was not confident about it. While the Bai Clan was trying to kill Xiao Chen in the forest, four middle-aged men were sitting together in a huge mansion in Ming City, not far away from where he was.
This mansion was where the Mingzheng Gang, which controlled Ming City, was located. Like the Fengtian Gang, the Mingzheng Gang was one of the strongest gangs in the Land of Hundred Rivers. It was even stronger than the Fengtian Gang because there were four Saints in the Mingzheng Gang. Among them, the leader of the Mingzheng Gang was in the Saint Realm Great Mastery. In the entire Land of Hundred Rivers, the leader of the Mingzheng Gang could be ranked in the top three.
The middle-aged men sitting in the room were none other than the four Saints of the Mingzheng Gang. Among them, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table had a full beard. He looked rough and his skin was dark and rough. At first glance, he looked like a farmer in the prime of his life.
However, no one in the entire North River dared to underestimate this man who looked like a strong farmer. This was because he was the leader of the Mingzhen Gang, Zheng Ping.
It was a very ordinary name and a very ordinary appearance. Of course, it was the same as Zheng Ping's life experience.
If it wasn't for that incident, Zheng Ping's life would have been very simple.
In fact, Zheng Ping was born very ordinary and his cultivation talent was not high. It was only because of a great opportunity that he obtained the inheritance of an ancient almighty that he was able to break through the Saint Realm and become a Saint.
Before entering the Land of Hundred Rivers, Zheng Ping had assumed that he was a loose cultivator. However, he ended up getting married and having a child. His family lived in a small city. Relying on his cultivation base, Zheng Ping was able to live a comfortable life and was highly respected in the city.
However, everything changed because of the arrival of this young master. This young master fancied Zheng Ping's wife. Not only did he force himself on her, he even killed her with his own hands in the end.
As the saying goes, how could one not take revenge for the murder of one's wife? Zheng Ping was naturally like this as well. Unfortunately, that Young Master was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan, so how could Zheng Ping go against him? In the end, not only was he unable to kill his enemy, it even caused him to be utterly unable to continue living in the outside world. He could only leave this place far away and struggle on while at death's door.
He thought about revenge at all times, but Zheng Ping knew that it was impossible for him to accomplish it by himself. It was even to the extent that even leaving the Valley of Rivers was a delusion. Because once he did, then Zheng Ping was very clearly aware that he would definitely suffer the endless pursuit of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Before the Xuanyuan Clan, he, Zheng Ping, was just an ant, and he simply couldn't be any weaker.
He'd originally thought that he would just wait for death to arrive, but recently, Zheng Ping had received news that a group of mysterious figures were pursuing a young man who'd just entered the Valley of Rivers.
Originally, such incidents were extremely common in the Valley of Rivers, so it wasn't surprising at all. However, the strange thing was that the strength of this group of mysterious figures was extremely terrifying. They were led by 7 Saints, and they had 100 Half-Saints and Dao Emperor Realm experts under their command.
Such a formidable force was clearly not the doing of a gang in the Valley of Rivers. Because it was impossible for any gang in the Valley of Rivers to possess such a luxurious force of 7 Saints at the same time.
Obviously, this was the doing of an outside power. Moreover, they didn't hesitate to utilize such a luxurious force to besiege and kill a young man. This was even more incomprehensible.
So, out of curiosity, Zheng Ping had ordered his subordinates to investigate this matter in detail. In the end, he'd found out through one of his spies in the Heaven Worship Gang that the young man they were pursuing was called Xiao Chen. He was really Xiao Chen who'd killed Bai Qiuran a few days ago and ascended to the 92nd position on the Saint Rankings. He was the Holy Disciple of the Heavenly Yin Sect on the Saint Rankings.
Zheng Ping was shocked when he heard this, but it wasn't long before he fell into hesitation.
There was no doubt that Xiao Chen's life was definitely hanging by a thread right now. Because even if he was a Holy Disciple on the Saint Rankings, it was absolutely impossible for him to be a match for 7 Saints.
If Zheng Ping led the Mingzhen Gang to assist Xiao Chen right now, then so long as he was able to protect Xiao Chen's life, then wouldn't Xiao Chen owe him a huge favor?
On the other hand, with Xiao Chen's identity, if Xiao Chen was willing to help Zheng Ping, then not only would all the members of the Mingzhen Gang be able to leave the Valley of Rivers, Zheng Ping would even be able to take revenge.
After all, even though the Xuanyuan Clan was strong, the person who'd killed Zheng Ping's wife was merely an ordinary Young Master of the Xuanyuan Clan. Moreover, his natural talent in cultivation was extremely ordinary. He couldn't be considered to be a core disciple of the Xuanyuan Clan, let alone a Holy Disciple on the Saint Rankings.
In this way, with Xiao Chen's ability, he would absolutely be able to take revenge for Zheng Ping if he really wanted to.
For the sake of revenge and for the sake of being able to leave the Valley of Rivers, Zheng Ping hesitated. That was why he'd gathered the other three Saints to discuss this matter.
He had already told his thoughts to the three people beside him, but after hearing his words, the three of them were still hesitant.
Firstly, saving Xiao Chen was indeed a good thing, and they would definitely be able to obtain unexpected benefits. However, that was the best outcome. Once they failed, would the Mingzhen Gang be able to fend off the attacks of those mysterious people?
After all, there were seven true Saints. If they acted against the Mingzhen Gang, the Mingzhen Gang would definitely be unable to resist them.
The risk was too great, and no one dared to make a rash decision. Seeing that the three of them had sunk into hesitation, the four people in the room fell into silence for a moment. The entire room was quiet, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
In this strange atmosphere, after a long while, Zheng Ping suddenly slammed the table, stood up, and said, "Let's go.
"Brother, they say that riches come from danger. Are we going to stay in the Valley of Rivers forever? Perhaps our Mingzhen Gang will be annihilated if we act this time, but what if we succeed? Won't we be able to leave this damned place then? "
"I think we can give it a try. After all, he's a Chosen on the Saint Rankings. He's in the limelight right now. Compared to the rewards, I think this little bit of risk is worth the gamble."
Zheng Ping finally made his decision. The other three Saints pondered for a moment before making up their minds. "Alright, we'll listen to you, big brother. But how are we going to save him? I'm afraid we can't fight head-on, right?"
"There's no need to worry about that. I'm sure that Chosen Xiao Chen is definitely thinking of a way to contact the Heavenly Yin Taiyang Sect right now, so our goal isn't to defeat those mysterious people. We just need to stall for time until the experts of the Heavenly Yin Taiyang Sect arrive. Everything will naturally be resolved then. We just need to stall for time, a day at most. I think that with our Mingzhen Gang's strength, we should be able to succeed," Zheng Ping said loudly.
