Chapter 1168 - 1168 1154 Landing on the Island

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1154: Landing on the Island Chapter 1168: Chapter 1154: Landing on the Island Tomorrow we’ll arrive at Freedom Island, and Ye Chen couldn’t help feeling nervous. Although the plan had been laid out, there was no guarantee it would be foolproof. If anything unexpected happened, all would be in vain.

Seeing Ye Chen leaning on the railing of the ship, Ouyang Yue smiled and asked, “Brother, what are you thinking about?”

Ye Chen looked over and shook his head, becoming quiet again.

“Still worried?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “Although I am very young, I’ve also experienced a lot. I’m past the time for hesitation.”

Ouyang Yue held out some fruit for him to eat.

Looking at Ouyang Yue, Ye Chen still couldn’t bring himself to call her “sister,” saying, “Why is it so hard for me to say the word ‘sister’?”

“What, calling me ‘sister’ is that difficult for you?”

“Not exactly, it’s just a bit unfamiliar,” Ye Chen replied.

“You’ll get used to it slowly,” she said.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “I’ll just call you by your name.”

“Alright, as long as you’re willing.”

“I never thought that one day, I would really have a sister.”

“Are you worried about tomorrow’s matter?”

“Worrying won’t help.”

“Then you must be thinking about that girl.”

Ye Chen just gave a faint smile, and right away Ouyang Yue understood.

“Ah, I don’t even know what to say.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “There’s nothing to say. Following me wasn’t a good choice for her to begin with.”

“Fear that now saying this, has no significance.”

“Exactly, it really has no significance. Under such circumstances, it’s just adding to the worries,” Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

“You don’t need to worry, I believe everything will turn out fine.”

“Of course, heaven always leaves you a path to follow.”

Ouyang Yue’s heart was fluctuating.

“Let’s talk about you. Once you’ve taken your revenge, how do you plan to live?”

“I can’t be a Sect Leader anyway,” Ouyang Yue admitted to herself that she wasn’t up to it and didn’t want the trouble.

“If you don’t become Sect Leader, who will?”

“Why don’t you take it?”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “You’re really joking. I still don’t know what will become of me, let alone be your Sect Leader. It’s because I became a Sect Leader in the Central Plains that I ended up like this; I really don’t want to be a Sect Leader ever again.”

“Yes, being a Sect Leader is not all fun and games. It’s quite mentally draining. If given the choice, no one should take this path. It was only after I took on these responsibilities that I realized how exhausting it really is.”

“You’ve barely started.”

“I need to think it over properly, in case I can’t get away from it. I still want to see the world outside, not stay on Sacred Spirit Island for the rest of my life,” Ouyang Yue reflected, having been through a lot.

Although he had acknowledged her as his sister, he still felt that chatting in this manner was better for now.

“You should rest early. There’s a lot waiting for you tomorrow. You can’t figure out the enemy just by staring at the sea,” Ouyang Yue said, turning away and leaving Ye Chen alone.

The quiet night seemed particularly suited for him; there’s something about being alone.

At noon, an island, as if rising from the sea level, gradually became clear.

Appearing straight ahead.

Instantly capturing everyone’s attention.

Yes, that’s Freedom Island, perilous Freedom Island. Qiandu Xiang had already led his men in ambush, waiting for their arrival. A great battle was imminent.

Nangong Yao called Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue in, because of the mole, the plan to deal with Qiandu Xiang definitely could not be revealed in advance, only known to a few key people.

Guan Xun stood guard at the door, preventing anyone else from entering.

They had to pretend to know nothing, and Nangong Yao even put on a show to make sure none of Qiandu Xiang’s people were nearby, displaying the appropriate level of vigilance.

He unfolded a map, Nangong Yao had been to Freedom Island before, and precisely because he was familiar with the terrain, he chose this place. He drew several marks on the map and said, “When the time comes, we will land here on the island. After we disembark, we will go to Qingfeng Inn, which is owned by Shao Hengjiang’s men.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

“Shao Hengjiang’s men dispersed and hid around the area, and no one else will find out. Qiandu Xiang will definitely not act immediately as he needs to prepare as well. Our mission is to trick them and avoid raising their suspicion. Of course, as long as you guys are clear on the plan, it should suffice. We can’t disclose it because of the insider,” said Guan Xun.

Nangong Yao continued, “This is the floor plan of Qingfeng Inn and the surrounding terrain. We’ll lead them in later, and then escape through the secret passage and encircle them. I believe they will act tonight. They will likely first try to destroy our boats, but that’s not important.”

Ouyang Yue was also showing signs of nervousness.

“It’s crucial now to pretend we don’t know anything. We’ll discuss everything once we reach Freedom Island.” Nangong Yao was actually feeling a bit nervous as well.

Ye Chen had been on the ship for quite a while. After so much had happened, he felt like getting off the ship and stretching his legs.

Nangong Yao briefly went over the specifics of the arrangement, noting that everything would wait until they met Shao Hengjiang on Freedom Island.

Qiandu Xiang wouldn’t take action just upon docking—as doing so might drive them away. Without a doubt, they would wait for Nangong Yao to enter and lower his guard before they struck.

The island was getting closer, resembling a massive monster with glaring eyes watching them intently.

Ouyang Yue kept close behind Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Relax a bit. They won’t act so soon.”

“Why not?”

“Think about it—they wouldn’t want to scare us away. They will definitely wait until we’ve completely lowered our guard before making their move.”

“I hope it’s as you say.”

Although Ye Chen had come to this conclusion, it was still key to receive information from Shao Hengjiang. Shao Hengjiang’s group was closely monitoring Qiandu Xiang’s people. If they were about to make a move, Shao Hengjiang would undoubtedly be the first to know, and that’s why Ye Chen was so confident.

He headed for the crowded streets, where there were indeed quite a few people.

Acting as though nothing was amiss, Nangong Yao continued forward, showing a bit of alertness just so others wouldn’t spot any flaws.

Hai Jingtian hurried to find Qiandu Xiang and reported, “They’re in, and have reached Qingfeng Inn.”

“Have they all arrived?” Qiandu Xiang stood up impatiently.

“Yes, besides those who stayed on the ship, the rest have gone to Qingfeng Inn.”

Qiandu Xiang gave a faint smile and responded, “Excellent, absolutely splendid.” He had been waiting for so long and the opportunity had finally presented itself.

“I’ll notify the local snakeheads.”

Qiandu Xiang nodded slightly in agreement—of course, they had to inform the snakeheads. He already had a plan centered on Qingfeng Inn. However, for the sake of caution, he remained worried about Shao Hengjiang interfering. Shao Hengjiang had given him quite a hard time and said, “Make sure you keep a close watch. We can’t allow Shao Hengjiang to disrupt our plans.”

Qiandu Ao was getting restless. His brother wanted to kill Nangong Yao and obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, and he himself was quite fond of that stunning girl. He knew his brother was also interested in her, but his brother’s control was certainly exceptional.

If she became an obstacle on his path, he would mercilessly remove her—such was Qiandu Xiang.

He actually longed to be intimate with her for a while and said, “Hand that girl over to me.”

Qiandu Xiang gave him a look, all too aware of what his brother was like, and remarked, “Are you letting your imagination run wild again? That girl will kill you.”

Qiandu Ao, with his head down, replied, “No matter what, we’re from the same sect. Once there’s a child, things will be different.”

“I’m warning you, I won’t allow any accidents.” Qiandu Xiang, who had survived several close calls, still felt a chill down his spine when he remembered her ferocity. Turning to Hai Jingtian, he said, “Enough, go and call over the snakeheads.”

Hai Jingtian left in a hurry.

Qiandu Xiang looked at Qiandu Ao, knowing that part of him was reluctant to kill Ouyang Yue. But he was aware that it was inevitable to kill her because keeping such a calamity was too dangerous. “That girl will directly claim your life,” he cautioned.

“I know, I was just saying it off-hand. It seems a shame just to kill her like that,” Qiandu Ao replied.

“There are plenty of beauties in the world,” Qiandu Xiang said disdainfully.

“I understand, the main task comes first,” Qiandu Ao acknowledged.

“You’re my brother, my only kin. If we succeed this time and acquire the Sacred Spirit Stone, all thirty-six islands will be ours.”

“Aren’t you planning to go back to the Central Plains?” Qiandu Ao asked.

“That’s the plan. However, I need to gain control of the Sacred Spirit Stone and use its energy to manipulate those monsters.”

Qiandu Ao nodded in response.

“Go on now. The plan is set for tonight.” Qiandu Xiang had been waiting for Nangong Yao to come in, and he had no intention of letting him slip away just like that.

“We have to kill Nangong Yao first, and then deal with Shao Hengjiang afterward,” Qiandu Xiang determined.

“With the Sacred Spirit Stone in hand, wiping out Iron Ten Thousand Island will be a breeze,” he stated confidently.

“I’ve heard Shao Hengjiang’s wife is very beautiful.”

“You’ll someday die at the hands of a woman,” said Qiandu Xiang.

Qiandu Ao grinned mischievously.
