Chapter 303: 【143】Under the deep water, I am immortal_4
...
"What? An invitation to Wang Longhu."
Lin Zhengzong, who was discussing with Luo Gang about the investigation into Luo Qianqian’s whereabouts, was stunned upon hearing Cai Liang’s report.
The Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader is extremely mysterious. Even the action team, which has harnessed the power of all East Asian countries, has not been able to gather much information about him.
And there are very few outsiders who can see the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader with their own eyes.
This invitation, no matter how you think about it, has the appearance of a trap.
"Zhengzong, it seems we need to use more resources from the organization this time. Just the two of us aren’t enough as Huajin Grandmasters. Let’s call in some old friends to lend a hand." Luo Gang said seriously.
In recent years, most of the Martial Artists in East Asia have been recruited by the Heaven and Earth Alliance, White Lotus Society, and Taiping Tiangong.
These three martial forces are all willing to spend heavily to recruit people, not only the Heaven and Earth Alliance but also the White Lotus Society and Taiping Tiangong.
Although the action team was founded through the collaboration of various nations, there aren’t many Huajin Grandmasters who joined.
Otherwise, Chen Zeye wouldn’t have had to hide in the shadows to collect evidence of the atrocities committed by Vietnam’s Four Poison Hall, hoping to use this method to bring them down.
"Are you planning to start a war? Japan Island is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, with many Guardians. Even if we call in a few helpers, we can’t match them, not to mention we’ve never known the strength of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader. Ordinary Huajin Grandmasters are no match for him." Lin Zhengzong expressed his dilemma.
"Then what should we do? We can’t just let Wang Longhu march into the lion’s den alone. Although he’s strong, he’s not a match for snipers." Luo Gang said.
"If it really doesn’t work, we’ll have to retreat." Lin Zhengzong said seriously, "Tell your disciples to return to the country. We’ll stay behind to rescue your daughter. Wang Longhu will distract the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader. Once we’re successful, we’ll immediately use the escape route the action team set up earliest."
"Then our base hidden on Japan Island will be completely lost. I feel ashamed to the team leader." Luo Gang sighed deeply.
"There’s no other way unless the action team plans to go to war with the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Otherwise, at this moment, there’s no way to send many Grandmasters to assist us on Japan Island. If our presence is exposed, even if we manage to destroy the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the White Lotus Society and Taiping Tiangong will rise and be even harder to deal with."
During their conversation, the two Grandmasters had already finalized their plan.
Retreating from Japan Island was their best option at the moment.
Soon, all of Luo Gang’s disciples at the Chinatown martial arts school were notified to leave Japan Island on flights to the homeland within the day.
Naturally, everyone was reluctant to accept this outcome.
But since Luo Gang was their master, under his orders, the disciples who followed him to Japan Island had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Before long, only Lin Zhengzong, Luo Gang, Ah Hui, and Cai Liang remained in the martial arts school.
"You two should leave as well. The headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Alliance is too dangerous for you. There’s no point in staying, go back and preserve your strength." Lin Zhengzong waved his hand, dismissing the two.
"Elder Lin, I can’t just leave like this. You always say that without experiencing real combat, I can’t achieve Huajin. I’ve been at the Dark Force level for over a decade. I came out this time to find opportunities to hone my skills with you, and now is precisely the time for a real fight. How can you tell me to leave? Cai Liang should go; his strength is weaker." Ah Hui laughed, rubbing his head.
Cai Liang awkwardly touched his face and said nothing. As a non-combat personnel, he was more than happy to leave Japan Island, away from this dangerous place.
"If you think so, fine, you stay. But let me be clear, I can’t protect you. You might die. Think it over carefully." Lin Zhengzong said sternly.
"No need to say more, Elder Lin, my mind is made up." Ah Hui sat down, indicating his decision through his actions.
"If that’s the case, Cai Liang, hurry and leave. Don’t delay." Lin Zhengzong, feeling helpless, could only urge Cai Liang.
"Alright, Elder Lin, take care. Mr. Luo, take care, Ah Hui, take care. I’ll be off first." Cai Liang quickly put on his hat and turned to leave.
He knew his limits well; with his strength, he wouldn’t be able to hold his own against the Heaven and Earth Alliance and would only meet his death.
Just as he stepped out of the martial arts school, he saw a familiar figure stride in from outside.
Wang Longhu, seeing Cai Liang dressed like a backpacker about to take a long trip, curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
"Elder Lin is preparing for a deadly battle with the Heaven and Earth Alliance. I’m heading back to the country to avoid it. Wang Longhu, be careful; no matter how strong a Martial Artist is, he can’t beat a hundred guns, right?" Cai Liang said worriedly and quickly ran away.
"A deadly battle?" Wang Longhu was baffled.
He had only gone out for a while, and now they were going to have a deadly battle with the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Once inside the martial arts school, which was once quite lively, only Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang remained.
Seeing Wang Longhu appear, Lin Zhengzong immediately took out the invitation and explained in detail the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader’s invitation to Wang Longhu and their plan.
Lin Zhengzong’s plan was for Wang Longhu to attend the feast and go to Mount Fuji with the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader and Bai Yongge.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang planned to storm the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Alliance to save people the moment Wang Longhu met the leader.
Mount Fuji is located in the south-central part of Honshu Island, while Toranomon Hill is in Tokyo, with a distance of 228 kilometers between them.
Even if the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader were a deity, he couldn’t return to Toranomon Hill in half an hour.
That period was the time for Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang to rescue people.
What Wang Longhu needed to do was, at the moment Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang rescued people, escape from Mount Fuji and proceed to an abandoned port in Nagasaki on Japan Island.
There was an early-built safe house there by the action team and a boat sufficient to take Wang Longhu and others across to the Korean Peninsula.
Once they reached the Korean Peninsula, which is the territory of the White Lotus Society, even the Heaven and Earth Alliance would have no means against them.
"What if the half-hour passes and you haven’t rescued Luo Qianqian and Wu Yixiong?" After hearing Lin Zhengzong’s plan, Wang Longhu asked with a frown.
Rather than being concerned about his own danger in facing the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader,
Wang Longhu felt that Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang, the two Elder Grandmasters storming into the headquarters to rescue people, were in far more danger.
"In any case, if the time is up and we haven’t shown up, leave without worrying about us." Lin Zhengzong said with a sense of acceptance.
Luo Gang sighed, "I’m so sorry, Old Lin."
Wang Longhu thought about it and didn’t refuse, "Since both of you have made up your minds, I won’t say more. I’ll accept the plan. If by chance you encounter misfortune at the Heaven and Earth Alliance headquarters, should I gain enough strength one day, I will return to Japan Island to avenge you both."
"Good, I’m reassured to hear you say that, Wang Longhu." Lin Zhengzong smiled with relief.
Luo Gang took out an ancient book from his arms and handed it to Wang Longhu, "This is the Arhat Sitting and Lying Scripture of Shaolin Inner Power. I’ll give it to you. It’s a treasure left by our ancestors; don’t let it end the lineage in my hands."
"Thank you." Wang Longhu reached out to receive it.
This battle with the Heaven and Earth Alliance was certainly going to be eventful.
