Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1044 - 1044 1030 The Carefree

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1030: The Carefree Chapter 1044: Chapter 1030: The Carefree Nangong Yao knew he couldn’t persuade the girl, nor could he neglect the situation. He had to protect the Sacred Spirit Stone and also take care of Qiandu Xiang, a person who would stop at nothing. Leaving him in the South Sea would be a significant threat to Immortal Medicine Island in the future. So he said, “I agree with you, let’s use the Sacred Spirit Stone to deal with Qiandu Xiang.”

At that moment, Ouyang Yue was overwhelmed with excitement. Now that Si Nanyu was dead, she had absolutely no experience at all. If Nangong Yao, leading the people of the Immortal Medicine Sect, could help her, she would be much more confident. However, she still said, “If Uncle Master is worried about provoking Qiandu Xiang and bringing trouble to Immortal Medicine Island, there’s no need to force yourselves.”

Hearing this, Song Yi said, “What trouble with Immortal Medicine Island? Qiandu Xiang has already made a move by kidnapping Yan’er. If it weren’t for a young man helping us and rescuing her, she would probably be in Qiandu Xiang’s hands by now.”

Ouyang Yue looked over, murmuring, “What, Qiandu Xiang wanted to kidnap Yan’er?”

“Just two days ago, Qiandu Xiang learned we had come to Sacred Spirit Island, afraid we would help Si Nanyu save you, he took Yan’er, hoping to use her to blackmail us into not helping Si Nanyu,” Song Yi said.

Ouyang Yue, now furious, said, “He really is a wolf with wild ambitions, stopping at nothing.” She continued to ask, “Is Yan’er alright though? Where is she now?”

Nangong Yao answered, “She’s fine. Yan’er is now at Peach Blossom Manor, with nothing to worry about.”

Ouyang Yue felt somewhat relieved but was still concerned about bringing trouble to Immortal Medicine Island. She said, “I think Uncle Master should not get involved with this matter. We can handle it ourselves.”

Nangong Yao said, “This is no longer just your matter. Besides, although I left the Sacred Spirit Sect to establish the Immortal Medicine Sect, I’ve always considered myself a member of the Sacred Spirit Sect. How could I possibly stand by and do nothing in this situation? Don’t worry, if I say I’ll help you deal with Qiandu Xiang together, I’ve certainly thought it through.”

He could not allow Qiandu Xiang to continue his reckless behavior, trying to kidnap his daughter as if wishing the whole world were in chaos. No, he could not turn a blind eye.

Guan Xun said urgently, “That’s right, Miss Yue, please sit down. Let’s discuss this calmly; we need to take this step by step.”

Ouyang Yue was brought back and calmed down a lot.

Guan Xun said, “Qiandu Xiang will definitely try to search for us tomorrow. We can’t stay on Sacred Spirit Island; we need to leave as soon as possible.”

Ouyang Yue said, “Before I was rescued, my senior brother had secretly prepared boats. We can leave Sacred Spirit Island at any time and head to Xiyue Island.”

Nangong Yao looked over, puzzled, “Right, do you also have the map with you?”

Ouyang Yue replied, “Although Qiandu Xiang took the map from me, he doesn’t know that I’ve memorized it thoroughly. I can redraw the map.”

Song Yi said, “If that’s the case, then that’s wonderful. Our master was just now unsure how to deal with Qiandu Xiang, debating whether we should join forces with the Thirty-Six Islands. If we really get the Sacred Spirit Stone, then things will be much easier; we won’t have to fear Qiandu Xiang.”

Nangong Yao knew this was not going to be simple. The appearance of the Sacred Spirit Stone could attract unwanted competition. He had to get involved; he simply couldn’t just watch the girl, who had no experience and was now eager for revenge, possibly get into trouble.

Ouyang Yue said, “I’ll organize them overnight, and we’ll leave here tonight. Uncle Master, what do you think?”

Nangong Yao nodded slightly. He indeed should leave Sacred Spirit Island as soon as possible and discuss things once they were off the island. “Alright, you be careful. We’ll talk more after we leave. If anything happens, talk to Guan Xun.” He also needed to arrange things, especially now, with Yan’er still at Peach Blossom Manor.

“Then we’ll gather at the fourth watch,” said Ouyang Yue as she left with Jiu Hu, with Guan Xun seeing her out.

Nangong Yao turned to Song Yi and asked, “There’ll be a ship leaving for Immortal Medicine Island tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, there’s a ship headed for Immortal Medicine Island tomorrow.”

“You go back to Immortal Medicine Island and take Yan’er with you.” Nangong Yao had decided to help Ouyang Yue but still worried about Immortal Medicine Island. Who could guarantee what sort of insane act Qiandu Xiang might commit? There needed to be someone responsible for Immortal Medicine Island, at least until Song Yi returned. Song Yi was his eldest disciple, reliable and meticulous, the one he trusted the most.

Song Yi nodded slightly.

Nangong Yao added, “I don’t know what Qiandu Xiang is up to, or whether he might take this opportunity to strike at Immortal Medicine Island. That girl is impetuous, and I must follow her to avoid accidents. Take Yan’er back, and once you’re there, stay vigilant, just in case.”

Song Yi understood his master’s concerns and said, “Master, rest assured, I will take Yan’er back and prepare our defenses.”

“Send me word by carrier pigeon if anything arises. I’m not sure what will happen next, but we need to be prepared for everything,” Nangong Yao said.

Ye Chen returned to the Sauntering Vessel and to the chicken and duck cabin. He felt he had developed a bond with the poultry and was surprised he could sneak in again. Perhaps his previous diligence had earned the manager’s trust, making it easy for him to slip back in.

It was already the middle of the night, and he had no idea when the ship would set sail, but today, Sacred Spirit Island was in chaos.

Li Mo entered with some food and said without preamble, “Qiandu Xiang’s people are searching everywhere.”

Ye Chen took the bag, another round of grilled sesame seed cakes and roast chicken too.

“They haven’t found them, have they?” Ye Chen asked curiously as the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit emerged, daring to come out only in the chicken and duck cabin.

Li Mo said, “I guess it’s not possible to find them for the time being.”

“Hmm, just as I expected.”

The Black Demonic Spirit sneered and said, “Expected my ass, let’s see if we can find the Sacred Spirit Stone.” Si Nanyu is dead, and whether someone knows the whereabouts of the Key Box is really uncertain.

After hearing this, Ye Chen laughed and said, “At most, you guys don’t have bodies, whereas I could go crazy at any moment, you seem to be in more of a hurry than I am.”

“You’re not afraid of dying, going mad isn’t a big deal for you, but we’ve been without bodies for over a thousand years. How much longer do you expect us to live like this?” The Black Demonic Spirit grabbed the roast chicken and wolfed it down.

Hearing this, Li Mo said, “Then I’ll go and find out more information.”

“It’s better not to do that, even if you do find out something, what then? If there really was any news, this ship would start moving.” Ye Chen was well aware of Shao Hengjiang’s formidable martial arts skills. Having provoked him repeatedly, he was now very cautious. He didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself, and even if he did find out some information, what good would it do him when he felt tired and just wanted to rest well?

The Black Demonic Spirit mocked again, “Running directly into the lion’s den, you really have some wild ideas.”

“If not running into the lion’s den, then tell me what should I do now? Do you have any better ideas?”

At this, the Black Demonic Spirit found itself at a loss for words, only remarking, “Back then, you shouldn’t have been so caught up in playing and missed such a good opportunity.”

“You’re telling me this now? At that time, you seemed pretty happy killing too, even telling me to let more Water Dragons onto the shore,” Ye Chen retorted, speaking through flared nostrils. Only the Black Demonic Spirit dared to talk back to him, and he continued, “Even if you keep following someone, it doesn’t mean they’ll trust you. Just think about it. We don’t know them, we help someone once, and they’re supposed to trust us? There’s no way they’d think you were one of Qiandu Xiang’s people.”

“So what use are you now? These people would only lead you back to the lion’s den.”

Ye Chen didn’t see it that way. He was convinced that Shao Hengjiang was no ordinary person. From what he had observed over this period, Shao Hengjiang didn’t seem to be as bad as people said. Moreover, he had overheard Shao Hengjiang’s conversation with Wan Liyun, which suggested the man was clever and decisive to be able to station people with Qiandu Xiang.

Uniting the regions near Iron Ten Thousand Island was a massive ambition, and with the Sacred Spirit Stone being so important, how could they not be tempted? Boarding this ship was definitely the right choice.

“Stop your endless blabbering and give it a rest. Haven’t you had enough commotion for one day, or are you not tired yet?” Ye Chen said, slightly impatient, gnawing on a grilled sesame seed cake.

“Ending up back in this chicken and duck cabin, you’re no different from these chickens and ducks,” the spirit remarked.

Ye Chen replied, “I’m doing this for you guys. Would you dare to appear in a more crowded place?”

The Black Demonic Spirit fell silent, not saying a word.

The Red Demonic Spirit seemed to be asleep, glancing outside where some people were still moving around.

Suddenly, a few familiar figures appeared.

“Isn’t that the Qian Manor Master?” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen tensed up, peering through the cracks in the planks, and indeed, he saw Shao Hengjiang leading a group of people towards the ship.

“They’ve boarded the ship,” announced the Red Demonic Spirit.

Seeing them board, Ye Chen felt even more resolved. Being on this ship was right; by staying on board, he could follow Shao Hengjiang, and he wouldn’t have to wander aimlessly like a headless fly anymore.

He didn’t quite catch their conversation and didn’t intend to eavesdrop further; having made his decision, he resolved to follow Shao Hengjiang and see how he would play his cards.

“All of you, stop the chatter and get some rest. Who knows when you won’t be able to sleep anymore,” Ye Chen shifted to lie on his side.

Li Mo pulled out a bottle of wine from inside his clothes. Smelling it, Ye Chen said, “You really do know me well.” He took the bottle, had a couple of sips, realizing it had been quite a long time since he had last drunk. It seemed tonight he could finally enjoy himself thoroughly.
