Chapter 1124 - 1124 1110 Cooperation

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1110: Cooperation Chapter 1124: Chapter 1110: Cooperation Ye Chen looked over with confusion.

Shangguan Wudi, knowing that the other party still had doubts, said, “Our grudge with Pan Jianglong dates back many years, and I’m not sure where to begin. Perhaps you have already heard some bits and pieces.

With our current strength, we can’t possibly be their match. I want to join forces with you. Aren’t you seeking to annihilate them?”

Ouyang Yue looked toward Ye Chen, wondering whether the old man’s words were trustworthy or not.

Shangguan Wudi continued, “You don’t know him as well as I do. Without our help, it will be very difficult for you to defeat them on Xiyue Island. Even if some of your people come here, this is Xiyue Island. You may need ten days to half a month to succeed, but if we help you, it will be different.”

Ouyang Yue nudged Ye Chen and whispered, “Can we trust what they’re saying?”

Ye Chen shook his head, seemingly resigning to the notion that this was the only option. Since last night, there had been no signs of anything unusual from this old man, so he felt it was still possible to trust him.

“We know Pan Jianglong like the back of our hand. Our only shortcoming is our strength, which isn’t as great as theirs. If you are willing to join with us, the situation will be different. You can think it over,” Shangguan Wudi said, knowing they couldn’t immediately agree and would need to discuss it with their people. “Alright, I’ve said all I need to. Now, let us send you down the mountain. If you want to collaborate, we can discuss the details at length.”

Ye Chen looked at Shangguan Wudi and asked, “Don’t you all hate the people of the Sacred Spirit Sect?”

“All that happened generations ago, what’s the use in dwelling on it.”

Ye Chen looked him in the eye and said, “Fine, I’m not their leader. I need to go back and talk to them. You could arrange for someone to accompany me so we can discuss this together.”

“Sure, this is my aide, Pei Kui. He will go with you. He can represent me. Anything that comes up can be discussed directly with him,” Shangguan Wudi said, indicating the Pei Kui behind him.

Ye Chen hastily greeted Pei Kui.

“Pei Kui, take them back.”

Pei Kui was a young man, but no ordinary one. After Shangguan Wudi was captured, Pei Kui had led their people. It was Pei Kui who had moved them to live above this cliff, thus evading Pan Jianglong’s relentless pursuit. Therefore, Shangguan Wudi trusted Pei Kui immensely.

Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue finished breakfast and were escorted down the cliff by Shangguan Wudi.

With a couple of subordinates, Pei Kui walked about ten steps ahead of Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue.

Ouyang Yue whispered, “Can we trust what Shangguan Wudi said?”

Ye Chen smiled and replied, “You’re the one who can judge that.”

“How so?”

“Why do they live on top of the cliff?”

“Why?”

“There are only about a thousand of their people, so they are no match for Pan Jianglong. They’re forced to live on the cliff, hiding from Pan Jianglong’s men. I suspect Shangguan Wudi has been locked up for many years.”

“Your analysis is pretty good.”

“They’re outnumbered by Pan Jianglong’s forces. The fastest and most direct way to seek revenge is to cooperate with us.”

“So, you’re saying we can cooperate with them.”

“Yes, we can cooperate, but we cannot fully trust their words.”

“Makes sense. It’s like how I shouldn’t fully trust Black Demonic Spirit either.”

The Black Demonic Spirit knew the girl was still blaming him for stealing the Key Box and said, “You should thank me. Without me, the Key Box would have already fallen into Pan Jianglong’s hands.”

“Haha, you steal my stuff and still expect me to thank you? You really have some nerve,” Ouyang Yue said angrily.

“If I hadn’t stolen it, the Sacred Spirit Stone would be gone.”

“I knew you weren’t any good. Monkey, it’s time for you to do something about it.”

Ye Chen replied, “I can’t do much about it. You should handle it yourself.”

Ouyang Yue was furious and exclaimed, “How can you be like this, letting him go without punishment! Just seal him back in the bottle and let him never be reborn again.”

“Hey, you’re fortunate because of this disaster. As a human being, you can’t be so ungrateful,” Black Demonic Spirit retorted.

With Pei Kui’s assistance, they found Shao Hengjiang.

Shao Hengjiang was in the midst of strategizing how to deal with Pan Jianglong when Ye Chen returned, accompanied by a few strangers.

Overjoyed, Nangong Yan ran over and hugged Ouyang Yue, immediately asking if anyone had taken liberties with her, finally relaxing when assured that no one had.

“I knew you’d be able to escape,” Nangong Yan declared.

Black Demonic Spirit said, “What do you mean escaped? We risked our lives to save her. It was a close call—almost became someone’s meal.”

Nangong Yan immediately thought of the Key Box incident, glared at Black Demonic Spirit, and shouted, “It was you, you despicable creature, who stole the Key Box.” She was about to hit him.

Black Demonic Spirit said, “You people should be grateful to me. If it weren’t for me, the Key Box would have fallen into someone else’s hands long ago.” He didn’t finish his sentence before he fled toward the forest.

Shao Hengjiang walked over, clueless about who the people Ye Chen had brought back were.

Ye Chen quickly explained what had happened the night before, who these three people were, as well as how Shangguan Wudi was preparing to join forces with them.

Nangong Yao pulled Ye Chen aside, and Shao Hengjiang also came over. Nangong Yao said, “You’re thinking of cooperating with them.”

Ye Chen analyzed and said, “Shangguan Wudi is right. If we want to defeat Pan Jianglong, we must attack their stronghold. Although we have more people, we’re not familiar with Xiyue Island. It’s impossible to conquer it quickly, and it might drag on for ten days or half a month. Shangguan Wudi is very familiar with Pan Jianglong, having fought against him for over a decade.

“They don’t have as many men as Pan Jianglong, and they want revenge as much as they want to cooperate with us. It’s to our advantage. Why not consider it? If we have their help, our efforts could be doubled.”

Nangong Yao said, “But we don’t know much about Shangguan Wudi. We can’t tell if they genuinely want to cooperate or if they have other motives.”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Pan Jianglong’s people have driven them to live on a cliff. I believe they thoroughly despise Pan Jianglong. Moreover, Shangguan Wudi, who was locked in the dungeon with Ouyang Yue, surely wants revenge. As for whether they might have other motives, I don’t know, but we can stay alert. Working with them is feasible.”

Nangong Yao looked towards Shao Hengjiang.

After hearing Ye Chen’s analysis, Shao Hengjiang was silent for a while before saying, “We can listen to their plan. If they really can help us shorten the time it takes to defeat Pan Jianglong and avoid more casualties, why not consider it?”

Even the stubborn Nangong Yao reflected on this statement and said, “So they really are being cornered to live on the cliff.”

“We came down from the cliff this morning,” said Ye Chen.

“Alright, in that case, let’s be cautious and cooperate with them,” Nangong Yao conceded.

Ye Chen hurriedly said, “Make sure you think it through, so you don’t end up blaming me later.”

Nangong Yao gave a slight smile and said, “Alright, let’s hear what they have to say for now.”

Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang then called over several leaders, with Pei Kui following.

Pei Kui was glad they were willing to listen to him and decided not to beat around the bush. “I am very grateful that you are willing to listen to my suggestion.”

Nangong Yao smiled and said, “I trust you’ve found a way to deal with Pan Jianglong.”

Pei Kui said, “We do have a way. I heard that your ships are arriving today.”

“There are indeed two ships arriving today,” Shao Hengjiang replied.

Pei Kui considered their manpower and said, “That’s good. You see, we want you to face Pan Jianglong head-on in battle.”

“And you?”

“At the height of your battle, we will swiftly break out and set their stronghold on fire,” Pei Kui explained.

Guan Xun scoffed and said, “It won’t be that easy to burn their stronghold. How could they let you get inside so easily?”

Pei Kui responded, “You are not aware, brother, that there actually is a secret passage that leads into their stronghold. The route is dangerous but feasible. Pan Jianglong’s men don’t know about it, but we do.”

Guan Xun looked at him dubiously.

Pei Kui continued, “The most important thing is, Pan Jianglong would never expect us to join forces. We can catch them completely off guard. As long as we coordinate properly, with you engaging their main forces, we can storm in through the secret passage and surely surprise them.

“Just think, if we lead a group of people into their stronghold and start a huge fire, they will absolutely fall into disarray. Once they’re in chaos, defeat won’t be far behind.”

After hearing this, Shao Hengjiang nodded. It was indeed a good plan.

Pei Kui added, “Pan Jianglong will definitely not anticipate you and us working together. We can catch them off guard.”

After a moment of silence, Shao Hengjiang discussed with Nangong Yao and then said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say. When the time comes, we’ll hold their attention, and you make your move promptly.”

“That’s fantastic. If that’s the plan, Pan Jianglong is doomed,” said an elated Pei Kui. He had dreamed of defeating Pan Jianglong and avenging the fallen, but due to the disparity in strength, they couldn’t find allies until now.

They quickly agreed on a time—faster than anticipated—and made up a secret signal.

Ye Chen listened for a while and then left. The negotiation was faster than he had expected.

Pei Kui left two people behind and prepared to leave. Before departing, he made sure to see Ye Chen, knowing that their smooth cooperation was thanks to Ye Chen’s assistance.

Ye Chen, however, humbly replied, “It’s a mutual need. You also have it tough.”

Pei Kui smiled and said, “Still, I have to thank you.”
