Chapter 1025 - 1025 1011 Eavesdropping

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1011: Eavesdropping Chapter 1025: Chapter 1011: Eavesdropping “This is indeed the case. In this day and age, it’s simply too difficult to find someone who trusts us and is willing to work with us. Everyone wants the Sacred Spirit Stone. As long as that desire exists, no one will believe that we just want to borrow it for a while,” the Red Demonic Spirit said coldly.

The Black Demonic Spirit gave a slight smile and continued, “It’s good that you understand. So, stop dreaming. If you’re not careful, someone could snatch both of us away.”

Upon hearing this, the Red Demonic Spirit replied, “Then what should we do? Just sit around and do nothing? With just the three of us, we won’t make any significant impact. If we need a ship in the future, it’s impossible for the three of us to sail there by ourselves. It’s like courting death. The Skyward is the perfect example—so many people, just like that, all drowned.”

“That’s why the best plan is to have the people from the New City Sect come here quickly with their ship.”

Ye Chen, however, didn’t want to complicate things. He had heard about the incident on Dragon Slayer Island and the two Dragon Slaying Secret Manuals. If the situation escalated and became commonly known, it would be intolerable. The two Secret Manuals had already led to a bloodbath. If the Sacred Spirit Stone were involved, it would drive the whole Fairy Demon Domain insane.

“I think the Black Demonic Spirit is right,” the Red Demonic Spirit surprisingly agreed, which made Ye Chen feel a bit astonished.

Ye Chen said, “No, how can he be right?” He knew it absolutely wouldn’t work; it would throw everything into chaos, and he dreaded to think of how many might die because of it. How could he let such a thing happen?

“So, what do we do now? Even if we really find the map and the key, do you expect the two of us to row a small boat there?” the Black Demonic Spirit said, discontented.

“The situation isn’t clear yet. Do you really think it’s about having the numbers to come here and fight?” Ye Chen would never allow people from the New City Sect to sacrifice innocent lives for his sake. It had not been easy to leave the New City Sect and finally let go. He couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

“Well, I’ve said all I wanted to say. It’s up to you now. We’ve already wandered the streets for three days. What have we achieved?” the Red Demonic Spirit asked.

Ye Chen, feeling cornered, realized that he had been wandering for three days, attempting to blend in with those people. However, following those smaller island masters would hardly yield success, and he might even lose his life. He couldn’t engage in such a risky endeavor. Furthermore, in these three days, without any suspecting, to infiltrate a group and not attract attention was simply impossible. He didn’t believe those minor island masters could obtain the key.

“I think you should find that girl with the surname Nangong. Maybe she can help you blend in. Her father is so powerful, and I’ve heard he’s an old predecessor of the Sacred Spirit Sect,” the Black Demonic Spirit said, gnawing on a chicken leg.

“That might work. She could lead us onto Immortal Medicine Island without drawing attention, right?”

As they were talking, several people suddenly passed by.

It was the one who went by the name of Qian Hai, but his real name was Wan Liyun.

“Wan Liyun,” the Red Demonic Spirit murmured. “What’s that sneaky guy up to?”

At that moment, the sky was growing dim, and it wouldn’t be long before complete darkness fell.

Ye Chen stood up and said, “Enough talk, let’s see what he’s up to.” Unsure of where to go, Ye Chen decided to follow Wan Liyun to find out what the man was planning.

Now that the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits had arrived at Sacred Spirit Island, they were distinct from those minor island masters, especially that Shao Hengjiang, who was likely not a simple character. They had easily destroyed the Skyward and covertly come to Sacred Spirit Island, clearly not here just to watch a show.

He followed the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits, continuing onwards. Wan Liyun was less vigilant than Shao Hengjiang. Arriving on the second floor, around a corner, Wan Liyun suddenly stopped. The room door was opened by someone— it was Shao Hengjiang. Ye Chen quickly hid behind a column until they closed the door before revealing himself.

“This Shao Hengjiang, coming to Dragon Slayer Island, is definitely here for the Sacred Spirit Stone,” the Red Demonic Spirit commented.

“Isn’t that obvious? If not for the Sacred Spirit Stone, then what?” the Black Demonic Spirit said disdainfully.

Ye Chen suggested, “Let’s listen to what they’re saying.”

“Be careful, don’t get captured and end up a slave,” the Red Demonic Spirit warned.

Ignoring him, Ye Chen swiftly entered the room next door, grateful it was unoccupied. He slipped inside and approached the back, dampening his finger with tea water to poke a hole through the papered window, and saw that it was indeed Shao Hengjiang and Wan Liyun, along with several tall individuals.

Wan Liyun said, “The island master from Lion Head Island has arrived, and he brought over a dozen other island masters with him.”

“These useless fellows are just here to accompany the act. They won’t get the key, and even if they do, they won’t be able to leave Sacred Spirit Island,” Shao Hengjiang stated coldly, aware of Qiandu Xiang’s tactics. He probably had already set up an intricate trap. With several island masters each harboring their own schemes, how could they possibly cooperate to steal the key?

“Indeed, I don’t believe they’d work together either.”

“However, their arrival could be advantageous. Gathering everyone together, Qiandu Xiang, even if he wishes to take control, may not be able to manage,” he somewhat hoped for a bigger commotion.

Wan Liyun drank a cup of tea and remarked, “I think even Si Nanyu wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring out the key.”

Shao Hengjiang shared this belief but asked, “And why is that?”

Wan Liyun explained, “Qiandu Xiang must have obtained the map from that girl. If he gets his hands on the key as well, then the Sacred Spirit Stone will be within easy reach. If both the key and the Sacred Spirit Stone fall into Qiandu Xiang’s hands, that would be disastrous.

Not only does the Sacred Spirit Stone possess immense power, but it can also control gigantic monsters. It’s said it could even control the Moon Beast and Evil Spirits. If he controls the Moon Beast and Evil Spirits with the key, wouldn’t that be a catastrophe?”

“Yes, the Sacred Spirit Stone must not fall into the hands of Qiandu Xiang. If the key ends up with him, I don’t know what might happen in the future.”

Wan Liyun continued, “I heard that this guy wants to use the power of the Spiritual Stone to return to the Central Plains and unify them.”

“That’s quite ambitious, but it’s still uncertain who will get it,” Shao Hengjiang said.

“Right, Nangong Yao from the Immortal Medicine Sect will also be here soon. The more people there are, the more chaotic it will become. Let’s see what he can do,” Wan Liyun said.

“We don’t need to be so anxious; just keep an eye on Qiandu Xiang. Maybe Si Nanyu won’t really bring out the key. We still need to watch Si Nanyu’s people,” said Shao Hengjiang.

“I’ve already bribed Qiandu Xiang’s men; as long as…”

From the room on the left, with a creak, just as Ye Chen was focusing his attention, suddenly a girl came in. Seeing Ye Chen sneaking in her room with his face covered, she screamed in panic, “There’s a thief!”

Startled, Ye Chen jumped, panickedly rushing through the doorway.

Her shout immediately alarmed Qian Jiang and Qian Hai, who both rushed out of their rooms. Qian Jiang caught sight of a masked man and immediately said, “Our identities might have been exposed.”

Then he chased after Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s light-footed skills were quite good, but the old ginger is still spicier. He fled into a bamboo forest.

With such good martial arts skills, Shao Hengjiang felt somewhat strained. This was definitely not an ordinary thief; surely a formidable individual, he said, “You’re tracking us, aren’t you?”

Wan Liyun had given Ye Chen the slip, but Shao Hengjiang’s martial arts were indeed strong, and he could even skim over water.

With a palm strike, a dragon illusion appeared. Ye Chen dodged, and the dragon smashed down, causing a row of pillars to crack and fall, blocking Ye Chen’s path. When he looked again, Shao Hengjiang had already appeared right in front of him.

“We absolutely cannot let this guy get away. If he is one of Qiandu Xiang’s men and knows our identity, that would be terrible. The secret people hidden by Qiandu Xiang’s side would be in great danger.”

Ye Chen glanced at Shao Hengjiang, making sure Wan Liyun had not caught up.

“Who are you?”

“If I could tell you, I wouldn’t be wearing a mask.”

“Then let’s see if you have the ability.”

Ye Chen knew this guy was formidable; he had tried before.

Shao Hengjiang, with a light tap of his foot, soared like an eagle taking flight and struck down with a palm, swift as a slashing steel knife. From the chase just now, he knew the masked man before him had good skills and sought to finish him with one move.

Boom…

A blow came down, hitting the Light Wave released by Ye Chen’s left hand, blocking the rushing energy, still pushing him back six or seven steps. Although steady, the energy kept releasing, growing stronger and stronger.

Hurriedly, Ye Chen sent out a palm strike with his right hand, piercing through the Light Wave, consuming the pressing energy.

Indeed, the masked man’s martial arts were impressive. Unexpectedly, within just a few days, he encountered two experts capable of contending with him, which made him feel somewhat old.

Thus, because he was fleeing for his life, Ye Chen had not tangled with his opponent, but this time he could try to measure up against him.

He brought his palms together, standing as firm as a pine, gathering energy. It was the Gathering of Ten Thousand Spirits. Rapidly pushing it out, two bolts of lightning lashed out like divine whips, striking with a boom, aiming directly for the old man’s head.

But in that instant, the old man, as if practicing Tai Chi, caught the lightning, swirling it from the left then back from the right, and sending it back at Ye Chen with a Dodging Technique, stunning Ye Chen who narrowly dodged, as a boom resounded, leaving destruction behind him.

He was indeed surprised that this guy could redirect his powerful twin bolts of lightning back at him.

Following that, the old man unleashed a technique that darkened the skies, with energy pressing down like Mount Tai, threatening to engulf him any second.

Ye Chen didn’t dare to resist forcefully, summoning a move that stood tall like a pillar, like a sword tearing through a point, splitting the energy. He flashed away, avoiding the power.

This technique was precisely what Shao Hengjiang had used last time to defeat him, and now he had returned the favor.

Taken aback, Shao Hengjiang murmured, “So it’s you.”
