Chapter 1029 - 1029 1015 Keep a Trick up Your Sleeve

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1015: Keep a Trick up Your Sleeve Chapter 1029: Chapter 1015: Keep a Trick up Your Sleeve Hai Jingtian said, “If Nangong Yan is truly captured, Nangong Yao wouldn’t dare to cause trouble, and we’ll see if he dares to help Si Nanyu then.”

Although the Sacred Spirit Sect was much stronger than the Immortal Medicine Sect, the latter was not to be underestimated. If they really joined forces with Si Nanyu, it would be hard to predict what could happen. By truly seizing Nangong Yan and controlling Nangong Yao, dealing with Si Nanyu would become much easier.

Hai Jingtian continued, “New Sect Leader, do you think Si Nanyu would exchange the Sacred Spirit Stone for Ouyang Yue?”

These words struck a chord with Qiandu Xiang, as he was also unsure whether he could obtain the map from Ouyang Yue. Even though he now had the map, it would still be difficult to find the Sacred Spirit Stone without the key to complement it. Moreover, to actually find the Sacred Spirit Stone, the key box’s role was essential. Currently having only a map was practically useless; the key was indeed the most important.

“Do you think he won’t bring out the key box?” Qiandu Xiang asked curiously.

Hai Jingtian shook his head and said, “I believe Si Nanyu would give his life for Ouyang Yue, but to make him hand over the key no matter what, that seems unlikely. I heard the old man emphasized repeatedly, instructing him to never give us the key.”

Everyone knew the importance of the Sacred Spirit Stone. With the Sacred Spirit Stone in hand, one would have nothing to fear in the South Sea and might even be able to unify it; that was his second dream. His third dream was the Central Plains.

Qiandu Xiang said, “We cannot bet everything on Si Nanyu handing over the key for Ouyang Yue. Did the person you arranged to infiltrate get in?”

“Yes, they have gained Si Nanyu’s trust. You can rest assured, he will not be able to discover them. They will keep us informed about the situation with Si Nanyu.”

Upon hearing this, Qiandu Xiang said, “Do not act upon it yet, I don’t want him to be exposed for now.” He had to be ready for either possibility, especially if Si Nanyu couldn’t produce the key and he had to consider what would happen next if Ouyang Yue were rescued.

“Alright, I’ll make sure he protects himself well.”

“What do you think would happen if Ouyang Yue were to be rescued?” Qiandu Xiang suddenly asked out of curiosity. He didn’t really want to kill Ouyang Yue, after all, she was his junior sister.

Ouyang Yue was explosive and vengeful. Hai Jingtian said, “Now that Ke Yizhu is dead, she’ll likely seek revenge for him. However, with their strength—and considering we now control Sacred Spirit Island—even if they join hands with the Immortal Medicine Sect, they’ll be no match for us and won’t be able to get their revenge.”

“No, from what I know of my junior sister, she will seek revenge. She will do whatever it takes, but defeating me is still a possibility,” Qiandu Xiang analyzed.

Hai Jingtian looked over, saying, “Defeat us? That can’t be.” But then he immediately thought of something and added, “You mean, it’s very likely she will use the Sacred Spirit Stone against us.”

Qiandu Xiang nodded slightly and said, “Very likely. That’s why it’s crucial to arrange our forces properly now, even if we don’t get the key. Someone will inevitably lead us to the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

Admiring Qiandu Xiang’s thorough approach, Hai Jingtian said, “Indeed, with our junior sister’s temper, how could she not seek revenge or try to take back the Sacred Spirit Sect? But with the people they have at hand, they are simply not our match.”

“Exactly. So, we must prepare for both scenarios. Regardless of whether Si Nanyu really brings out the key, I must find the Sacred Spirit Stone and let them continue to daydream.”

After hearing this, Hai Jingtian gained some confidence and said, “Sect Leader, Iron Chains is becoming increasingly unreliable. Although he destroyed the Cangqiong, the people thrown overboard were saved by the crew of the Parrot Ship. He hasn’t genuinely helped us; it’s like he’s just putting on a show.” It wasn’t a good time to criticize the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits since they had acted on their orders.

“Understandable. Especially at a time like this, everyone wants to get involved, wondering if they can really get the Sacred Spirit Stone.” Right now, for Qiandu Xiang, the most important thing was the Sacred Spirit Stone. Once he obtained it, he would have everything. With the Sacred Spirit Stone in his possession, what Island Master of the thirty-six islands would dare to disobey him?

“So you think they also want the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

“At this point, every monster and demon out there wants the Sacred Spirit Stone. Who could be the exception?”

“But the Parrot Ship wasn’t stopped either, and now they’re here too. The situation isn’t what we expected; they might not be easy to deal with.”

Qiandu Xiang pondered for a moment and said, “Those are just chorus singers. The most important are the Immortal Medicine Sect, Si Nanyu, and the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits. At most, we need to keep an eye on Lion Head Island’s Island Master. The rest are hardly a threat.”

“Right, if Gu Feng manages to capture Nangong Yan, even if it stabilizes Nangong Yao, it will keep any trouble from Si Nanyu at bay.”

“Ha, let them come. I’ve never been afraid. I’ve already secured the position of Sect Leader; why would I fear them now?” Qiandu Xiang continued to walk forward, supremely confident in his planted insider.

“I’ll go find Gu Feng right away.”

“To think they could compete with me without measuring their own abilities.”

Hai Jingtian withdrew.

As midnight neared, Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he truly shouldn’t provoke that old man any further; that old man was a formidable figure, and it was anyone’s guess when one might fall into his trap. He muttered, “You two, do you know what martial arts that was just now?”

The Black Demonic Spirit replied, “It should be the Sacred Heavenly Technique.”

“I feel like his martial arts were specifically designed to counter mine.”

The Black Demonic Spirit explained, “I heard that after the Sacred Heavenly Lord of the Sacred Spirit Sect was defeated, he went back to re-examine the Sacred Heavenly Technique, spending a full twenty years on it. He later modified it specifically to counter the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, so it counters you.”

“How do you know this?” Ye Chen was very curious.

“I heard it from Gao Ba.” The Demon Domain was close to the South Wasteland, and there were occasional trips to the South Sea, naturally leading to more stories about the South Sea area.

“How does Shao Hengjiang know the martial arts of the Sacred Spirit Sect?”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “He was a disciple of the Sacred Spirit Sect over a decade ago, but whatever happened afterward, causing him to leave the Sacred Spirit Sect, I do not know.”

“He was originally from the Sacred Spirit Sect.”

“Of course he was from the Sacred Spirit Sect, otherwise how could he possibly know the Sacred Heavenly Technique? It is said that in order to develop the new Sacred Heavenly Technique, he joined the research in the later stages, and it was only after his contribution that the new Sacred Heavenly Technique was finally completed.”

“Wow, then this guy must be quite impressive.”

“It is said that Shao Hengjiang was the favorite of the Sacred Heavenly Lord at the time. Without Shao Hengjiang’s help, he would not have been able to complete the new Sacred Heavenly Technique. If Shao Hengjiang hadn’t become a pirate later on, he probably would have become the Sect Leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect instead of Ke Yizhu who came after.”

“Heh, it’s strange to see someone giving up the position of Sect Leader to become a pirate instead.”

“As for the reason, I am not clear.”

Suddenly, a voice came: “Ye Chen…”

Ye Chen turned his head and saw it was Li Mo, quickly standing up.

Li Mo ran over excitedly and said, “I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“No, you’re not dreaming, and it seems I’m not dreaming either,” Ye Chen also seemed a bit excited.

“I really thought…”

“Thought I was dead? I was lucky to not die.” Ye Chen then briefly described the events he experienced afterward.

Li Mo was still very excited and said, “I really don’t know what to do now.”

“Don’t be so excited: I am standing right before you, aren’t I!” Ye Chen said.

Li Mo nodded slightly and said, “It is good that the Sect Leader is alive.”

“It seems you were really lucky to have encountered the Parrot Ship.”

“The Parrot Ship came and drove away the tired Water Dragon, and later on, the Jingtian Ship appeared, and we were saved.”

“That’s good.” Ye Chen then ordered some more delicious food.

Li Mo had been searching for an entire day, never expecting to meet him; naturally, he was extremely excited.

“So, you have been here for three days already?”

“Yes, I came over on the Free and Easy Ship, so I basically encountered no mishaps, which was luckier than you. However, after arriving here, I realized I didn’t know what to do.” Ye Chen felt somewhat passive after wandering around for several days.

After listening, Li Mo said, “Do you want to call our people over?”

“No need; they won’t make it in time even if they come, and I originally didn’t want them to get involved in my affairs.” Ye Chen did not want the disciples of the New City Sect to lose their lives on account of him.

Li Mo had also heard some things about Qiandu Xiang and said, “If Qiandu Xiang is an utterly despicable person, then the Sacred Spirit Stone must not fall into his hands at any cost. It would be better to quickly inform the people of the Immortal Demon Realm, lest they get embroiled in the trouble.”

Ye Chen sighed and said, “Even if they came, they would only complicate matters.”

“True, nowadays the group from the Immortal Demon Realm is hardly trustworthy, killing each other viciously over the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. I heard that Fang Ziren has gone mad.” This was something he had gathered on the Parrot Ship.

“Fang Ziren has gone mad?” Ye Chen could hardly believe it.

Li Mo said, “It was said that Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren traded the upper and lower volumes of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, but Ren Xiongbei ambushed Fang Ziren and stole the black volume, driving Fang Ziren insane.”

“Ren Xiongbei’s doing?”

“That’s what I heard. Now that he has both the red and black volumes in his possession, everyone is searching for him. In any case, it should be very chaotic. It’s also said that it was Ren Xiongbei who killed Liu Yunzhi.”

Ye Chen was taken aback and said, “Although Ren Xiongbei is not exactly a good person, it does not seem like something he would do.”

The Red Demonic Spirit smiled, “For the right benefits, people are capable of doing anything.”
