Chapter 263
Ever since Cheng Dalei parted with Green Leaf Buddha, he encountered few obstacles, although not solely because people could not find him. First, everyone knew Cheng Dalei had entered the territory of the Rong Clan, a force notoriously difficult to cross. Second, everyone finally realized that Cheng Dalei himself was not easy to mess with.
The various powers naturally didn't let him loose, they just acted more cautiously. Rather than having small teams searching for him, they dispatched larger groups to strike.
Everyone understood that without a significant numerical advantage, it would be challenging to kill Cheng Dalei. The Fish Dragon Guards representing the Empire, the various heroes from within the border, and the thirteen horse-thieving families on the prairie all independently chose the same strategy - to advance gradually, tighten the encirclement, and force Cheng Dalei into a corner.
