“I thought you’d say, ‘Well, another day has passed.'” Red Demonic Spirit said.
“Hehe, one day, I count each day. I suppose I’ve been reborn,” Ye Chen replied.
“So this counts as rebirth.”
“Of course, at least it can be considered as complete transformation.”
“Complete transformation? That will take at least another four and half years.”
“Then, better not to transform completely, leave the opportunity to others.”
“Martial arts has no end, you have only just stepped into it.”
“Hehe, it took me four and a half years just to set foot in, in this life, I wonder how much more I can learn, even if I devote all the time to practicing martial arts, I won’t reach a high level.”
“It’s good to be self-aware. You must be humble. Learning is an endless journey. The moment you think you’ve learned enough, that’s when you’re most ignorant.” Red Demonic Spirit started to talk about his life wisdom like a sage.
“Alright, ignorant or not, this is all I’ve got.” He looked down at the dwindling hotpot.
Ye Chen stretched his muscles and said, “Should we find a more comfortable place?”
“In the Wastelands? Any place in the Wastelands won’t be too comfortable,” Red Demonic Spirit replied.
Red Demonic Spirit sometimes went out alone, he knew every street in Wasteland City. But he was always very careful when he went out, especially at night, and Ye Chen suspected him of sneaking out to peek at people taking baths.
Sometimes, Ye Chen took him out, but most of the time he went out on his own.
Since the incident involving Wei Yiling, Earth King Gua Zhengnie thought Wei Sisan would investigate thoroughly, so he didn’t make a fuss at the time. But it turned out that he didn’t have that intention, instead, he was continually strengthening his own forces, recruiting under the banner of the Third Demon.
At first, Gua Zhengnie didn’t understand what the damned Wei Sisan was up to. However, he slowly began to see Wei Sisan’s intentions, and it was becoming increasingly clear: this guy was not simple. If things kept going this way, the Third Demon wouldn’t need the Sea King or the Earth King anymore.
He summoned his two capable subordinates, Gui Lang and Elder Xi Feng, as well as a group of henchmen, to discuss what they should do.
Gua Zhengnie said, “Things are getting clearer. This Wei Sisan is not simple. He used his position as the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon to constantly summon new disciples. These two years have made it very apparent, with the fastest growth. If this pace continues, they won’t need us soon; they can become a new Third Demon. What should we do?”
Gui Lang, the second in command, chimed in, “Indeed, they are using the Third Demon to recruit newcomers. Now, Zhi Lang Taoist Priest and Ming Qi have joined them. I suspect more will follow suit. They don’t regard us as part of the Third Demon anymore. Even when people join them, they don’t inform us. I believe it won’t be long before they can kick us out of the Third Demon altogether.” He was somewhat worried and not at all satisfied.
Earth King Gua Zhengnie responded,”Exactly, that’s why it’s urgent. We should do something. If this goes on, even if our army combines with that of the Sea King, we won’t be a match for Wei Sisan.”
One of his followers spoke up, “Actually, Sea King Zun Yu feels the same as us. They too came to realize that they got fooled, they feel gradually being pushed out by the Third Demon. Wei Sisan is taking advantage of the Third Demon’s name to recruit disciples and become a new Third Demon. It’s really unforgivable.”
Gui Lang chimed in, “Who knows when they started this plan. Although they haven’t openly kicked us out yet and still recognize us as part of the Third Demon, it’s only to better recruit new disciples. They are using the Third Demon and the Alliance Leader’s position.”
Elder Xi Feng suggested, “I believe the plan began when Wei Yiling narrowly escaped capture.”
Gua Zhengnie confirmed, “Four years ago.”
Elder Xi Feng nodded and said, “Yes, at that time, even though Wei Sisan threw a tantrum, it was just for show. His real goal wasn’t to uncover the conspirator – I suspect he knew it was either our doing or Zun Yu’s. But he did not pursue it further because at the time, our forces were equally divided. But that incident must’ve triggered Wei Sisan. He knew the break-up was only a matter of time. To distract us, he employed the tactic of dealing with the robber band, and secretly started recruiting more fighters, attracting more factions to join them. After four years of effort, it’s starting to pay off.”
“That’s correct. You’re absolutely right. Back then, even if they had the intention to deal with us, they didn’t have the capacity to do so. Despite still being the Alliance Leader, they were indeed deceiving us. We were scared by them, thinking they would really do it. But that wasn’t really their goal, it was just a performance. This is their real plan: using the Alliance Leader’s identity and the Third Demon to recruit disciples, to strengthen their forces. They are preparing for something bigger, building up their strength to deal with us in the future.” Gua Zhengnie seemed to have a sudden realization.

Gui Lang added, “If we keep going like this, we will soon pose no threat to them. They can easily kick us out without giving a second thought.”
“That’s right, this isn’t acceptable. They took advantage of the Third Demon, but the Third Demon isn’t their own. They’re using the name of the Third Demon, along with the Alliance Leader’s title, to strengthen themselves.” said someone indignantly.
“We should break away as soon as possible and expose their actions,” another proposed.
Another one objected, “But how can we expose them? They certainly won’t admit it’s done to deal with us. When the time comes, we won’t have any way to deal with them.”
Elder Xi Feng said, “I don’t think Sea King Zun Yu will be too pleased to see Wei Sisan’s actions.”
Gua Zhengnie looked at Elder Xi Feng and asked, “You think the Third Brother won’t be pleased either?”
“They are definitely not happy. Wei Sisan is gradually isolating you and Zun Yu to become the new Third Demon. How could they possibly be pleased about this?”
Gua Zhengnie nodded in agreement with Elder Xi Feng’s comment.
Elder Xi Feng continued, “Things cannot be left as they are. If this continues, they will certainly find a way to get us out of the Third Demon and establish a new Third Demon.”
“Who would’ve thought that the damn Wei Sisan would be so ruthless to come up with such a plan?” voiced Gui Lang.
Elder Xi Feng replied, “We should come up with a strategy.”
Gui Lang suggested, “Start by stripping him of his Alliance Leader title.”
“Dismissing his title might be hard, especially if we have to do it by ourselves.”
“We have to get Zun Yu and the others on board. If we agree, we should be able to bring him down.”
“That’s still to be seen.”
Gui Lang explained, “Wei Sisan is abusing his position as Alliance Leader and the name of the Third Demon to recruit disciples and strengthen his power. He’s misusing our identity.”
“But he will tell you that you too can use the Third Demon to recruit.”
Gui Lang retorted, “Can we even compare with them! They all consider him the Alliance Leader, we are just a split-off faction. Everyone thinks they are the legitimate ones.”
Elder Xi Feng concurred, “Exactly, he’s exploiting that point, but what can we do about it?”
Gui Lang insisted, “We must vote him off, voting him out of the Alliance Leader role.”
“The problem is, how can we vote him off, and whether or not we can manage to do it.”
Gua Zhengnie was fuming and couldn’t get a word out.
“We can’t let this go on. If it does, they will eventually kick us out and establish a new Third Demon,” Gui Lang declared.
Gua Zhengnie was deep in thought.
“The Earth King, you should do something. We can’t continue this way or else they’ll become the real masters of the Wastelands.”
Gua Zhengnie stood up, not wanting things to continue this way. “I need to go see the Sea King,” he decided. He needed to see the Sea King’s thoughts, then take action.
Now, his sole worry was useless. Wei Sisan would certainly trick him. Going directly to Wei Sisan was useless, but maybe joining forces with Sea King could work.
He never expected the damn Wei Sisan to resort to this, leaving him somewhat lost. He hadn’t realized that Wei Sisan was so wicked before, but the more he knew him, the sneakier and more sly he seemed.
Gui Lang noted, “Zun Yu is actually also getting restless. Seeing how prosperous the other side is, he used to aspire to the Alliance Leader position. Now, how dare he think about it? In no time, they’re going to kick him out directly. Where does he fit in the Third Demon?”
Some people were complaining, “Damn it, this Wei Sisan is really something, devising such schemes for personal gain.”
“I will see the Sea King, let’s see what they say then,” Gua Zhengnie responded.
“I guess they also can’t sit still any longer. They’ve been quite active recently,” Gui Lang commented.
But Gua Zhengnie knew that if this matter relied solely on his own efforts, it wouldn’t work. This was no longer just an issue of the Alliance Leader position, it was a matter of their survival. They had to take some action.
“Let’s see what the Sea King thinks about this issue first,” Gua Zhengnie had already instructed Elder Xi Feng to start making arrangements to bring down Wei Sisan.
Ye Chen had already moved onto the streets. Although the weather was somewhat chilly and the snow on the ground was thick, the snow here melted quickly. Oddly enough, it seemed as if only the Wasteland City was snowing while the rest of the area had only a light flurry that quickly vanished.

Ye Chen commented, “It doesn’t seem as lonely and cold as you said.”
