Chapter 1034 - 1034 1020 Busy Preparations

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1020: Busy Preparations Chapter 1034: Chapter 1020: Busy Preparations “Have you eaten yet?” Nangong Yao, having recovered what was lost, was naturally very happy.

“Yes, we ate on the way,” Nangong Yan replied.

“When you’re free, I’ll go see that boy you mentioned.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan giggled merrily.

As Ye Chen headed back to the inn, the Red Demonic Spirit asked, “You’re not really going to listen to that girl and play the hero, are you?”

The Black Demonic Spirit said coldly, “I think that’s exactly what he intends to do. You’ve followed him for so many years and still don’t understand him; it seems all those years were for nothing.”

Ye Chen did not speak. The number of pedestrians on the street had dwindled, for it was now midnight.

“It seems Qiandu Xiang is determined to get what he wants,” the Black Demonic Spirit remarked coldly.

“It’s not just determination; he’s unscrupulous. I don’t think Nangong Yao and his group can outfight Qiandu Xiang. They are bold enough to do this, clearly displaying no fear of Nangong Yao,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“So, it’s still better not to follow Nangong Yao then.”

“However, many have come; Qiandu Xiang finding it impossible to maintain full control,” the Red Demonic Spirit continued.

“Heh, do you think you can snatch the Key Box then?” the Black Demonic Spirit asked mockingly.

“Of course, I don’t have the ability, but that also means it won’t be easy for Qiandu Xiang to get it either.”

“He’s already in control, having taken command of the surroundings. This is his territory,” the Black Demonic Spirit scoffed.

Li Mo approached from another direction, seemingly waiting for Ye Chen. Ye Chen, listening to the Red and Black Demonic Spirits’ complaints, pondered that he should prepare well.

“Are you afraid I’ll run off with someone else?” Ye Chen countered.

Li Mo chuckled, indeed a bit worried as he replied, “No, just waiting for your return to hear your instructions.”

“There’s nothing much to instruct, just prepare more gunpowder, black smoke, and the like; firecrackers and fireworks will do, the more, the better,” Ye Chen said.

“Yes, these are essential to prepare,” the Red Demonic Spirit added. “Three people… without some gunpowder and black smoke, how can we face them? And it’s not just about potentially encountering Shao Hengjiang; his martial arts are formidable. The three of us together might not be a match for him.”

Li Mo was somewhat surprised and asked, “Which Shao Hengjiang?”

“The leader of the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits, a very formidable guy, we almost got caught by him.”

“Oh, you mean Qian Jiang from the Carefree?”

“Right, that’s the one. His martial arts are extremely formidable. Last time, following that girl, we barely escaped. I’ve heard that even more formidable than Shao Hengjiang is Qiandu Xiang. His followers are already so formidable; it’s very likely Qiandu Xiang himself has extraordinary martial arts,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

Ye Chen instructed, “Li Mo, make extra preparations. Whatever you think could be useful, get it ready for me.”

“I’ll have everything ready by tomorrow, definitely not delaying the twenty-first,” Li Mo replied.

“Qiandu Xiang is surely aiming to capture Si Nanyu. If she’s caught, I’m afraid Qiandu Xiang will deceive Ouyang Yue, and under pressure, Si Nanyu will immediately reveal the Key Box’s location. Therefore, Si Nanyu must not be captured,” analyzed the Red Demonic Spirit.

Li Mo added, “At that time, Nangong Yao will try to rescue Ouyang Yue.”

But the Black Demonic Spirit coldly stated, “I’m afraid it won’t be so easy. Trying to rescue someone on their turf is immensely difficult, especially since they’re already well-prepared.”

“They do seem somewhat passive, but with the Key Box in their hands, Qiandu Xiang desiring it so badly will likely try to capture Si Nanyu. So, for the time being, she won’t be in immediate danger,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen, stroking his chin, saw the situation as quite clear now: since Nangong Yan hadn’t been captured by Qiandu Xiang, it was unlikely he could threaten Nangong Yao, who would then devote himself entirely to helping Si Nanyu. It was hard to predict the outcome.

“Monkey, say something. What should we do when the time comes?” asked the Red Demonic Spirit.

“If it were up to me, it’d be better to cooperate with Qiandu Xiang. He has the highest chance of success, the most promising odds, being very proactive,” the Black Demonic Spirit naturally suggested.

Li Mo responded, “That’s impossible. If Qiandu Xiang obtains the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would be catastrophic. I’ve heard he has three dreams: the first was to become the Sect Leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect, which he has achieved; the second is to unite the Thirty-Six Islands; and the third is to invade the Central Plains, but to accomplish the last two dreams, he must have the help of the Sacred Spirit Stone, which can control various monsters.”

The Demon God and Sea Demon among the monsters and evil beasts had turned the Immortal Demon World upside down, and among the Four Great Beasts, it wasn’t the Demon God or the Sea Demon but rather the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast that were the most formidable. If these two creatures were to be controlled by Qiandu Xiang, the consequences would be unimaginable, not to mention the Sacred Spirit Stone, as they could control other giant beasts as well.”

“What does that have to do with us? We can’t even take care of ourselves right now.”

Ye Chen looked at the Black Demonic Spirit and said, “You, are you already thinking of ditching me to collaborate with Qiandu Xiang?”

The Black Demonic Spirit didn’t dare to speak upon hearing this.

“People can’t just think about themselves. If you dare to seek out Qiandu Xiang, I’ll turn you into a demon-monster.”

“Hey, I was just talking, not really planning on it. It was just a suggestion,” the Black Demonic Spirit said, still very grateful to Ye Chen. After all, it was Ye Chen who had cleared the malignant aura from his body. He had suffered greatly from that aura, and without Ye Chen’s help, he would not have regained his freedom—at least he was still suffering now.

“We can’t help others, that’s unavoidable, but we can’t help bad people do bad things. That would incur the wrath of the heavens,” Ye Chen said bluntly.

“Got it. Let’s hurry up and find a way to get the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“I will definitely find a way to get the Sacred Spirit Stone. If it really works out, I would even sell myself if need be,” Ye Chen exclaimed.

“Ah, I was just saying it. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Heh, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. I know Qiandu Xiang has more advantages, but we can’t do something that will harm the natural order.”

“Understood, I’ll listen to you, okay?” He was really worried that the other would seal him back into the bottle.

The sky had already turned darker, and it was very quiet all around.

Qiandu Xiang’s subordinates, Gu Feng and Baili He had returned. Gu Feng had lost Nangong Yan and naturally had to explain it to Qiandu Xiang.

Gu Feng had sworn to capture Nangong Yan, but now he had failed to do so, and he didn’t know how to face Qiandu Xiang. With a worried expression, he approached Qiandu Xiang, who lost his temper and said, “Didn’t you assure me that you would definitely catch Nangong Yan? You’re useless!” Qiandu Xiang also knew that Nangong Yan had been escorted to Peach Blossom Manor.

Gu Feng hurriedly prostrated himself and said, “We did catch the girl, but a highly skilled young martial artist came out of nowhere.”

“Highly skilled? How skilled can he be!” said Qiandu Xiang coldly.

“Truly, a young man with exceptional martial arts skills. I was no match for him. If it weren’t for Baili He arriving with reinforcements in time, I would have been killed.”

Qiandu Xiang glanced at Baili He, who nodded. By the time he found Gu Feng, Gu Feng had been thoroughly beaten.

“Which sect does he belong to?” Qiandu Xiang asked disdainfully.

“He seems to have used the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. Yes, it was the moves from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, and I can guarantee that.”

Qiandu Xiang was taken aback; the martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual were unique to the Dragon Slaying Clan and had long since disappeared in the South Sea. Even if the people of the Dragon Slayer Island knew about the affairs here, they were too preoccupied with their own troubles. He had heard that the whereabouts of Longhun were now unknown. However, Gu Feng was well-traveled and knowledgeable, and if he said it was the martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, it should be correct. Muttering to himself, Qiandu Xiang said, “The martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, you’re not trying to deceive me, are you?” Although he believed it, he could not be sure that Gu Feng wasn’t lying to avoid responsibility.

Gu Feng quickly said, “It truly was the martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. I have seen it when I was young, so I couldn’t mistake it. I assure you.”

Hai Jingtian chimed in, “The people of Dragon Slayer Island are struggling to survive themselves; how could they possibly come to our Sacred Spirit Island? We’ve always stayed out of each other’s way.”

“Perhaps they’ve learned about the Sacred Spirit Stone and wish to seek revenge. They’re not a match for the people of the Immortal Demon World right now, but if they get the Sacred Spirit Stone, they can truly turn their fortunes around,” Gu Feng hastily said.

Qiandu Xiang looked over and said, skeptically, “How many people was he with?”

“Just one subordinate. By the time I got there, he had already taken the girl away. I tried to take her back, but I wasn’t successful. If Baili He had arrived in time, he could have easily captured him, but by then, Baili He was tied up dealing with Nangong Yao. I bear the responsibility for this; it was my oversight.”

After hearing this, Qiandu Xiang said coldly, “Of course, you are responsible. If you weren’t, would it be my responsibility?”

Gu Feng dared not say more, knowing Qiandu Xiang was ruthless and would not spare his dignity when meting out punishment.

Qiandu Xiang didn’t want to punish Gu Feng, especially since there were only two days left until the 21st day, and there were circumstances to consider. He urgently needed people, so he asked, “Is that young man from Immortal Medicine Island?”

“No, he’s definitely not. When we were capturing the girl, he didn’t show up; he suddenly appeared on the way,” explained Gu Feng.

Qiandu Xiang said, “I’ll trust you this time, but remember, if this happens again, all of you will be punished together.”

Gu Feng was immensely relieved and grateful; what else could he say? He was originally an inconspicuous killer, constantly on the run and overlooked by all. It was by gaining Qiandu Xiang’s favor that he had achieved his status today. Without Qiandu Xiang, he would still be wandering outside.
