Chapter 1179 - 1179 1165 Who is in Charge of the Sacred

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1165: Who is in Charge of the Sacred Spirit Stone Chapter 1179: Chapter 1165: Who is in Charge of the Sacred Spirit Stone The Black Demonic Spirit had captured Grilled Sesame Seed Cake and seemed still not sated, saying, “Hey, it’s not my fault that the snakehead got involved in this mess, and there’s no evidence proving I’ve been exposed, is there?”

Ouyang Yue listened and said, “How can you say you weren’t exposed? If it really wasn’t you, then why didn’t the snakehead kill his way in at the beginning? Why did he only come to the rescue after we had surrounded Qiandu Xiang?”

Nangong Yan nodded in agreement, saying, “Exactly, he didn’t attack right away, which means the snakehead had already detected something amiss but just wasn’t able to stop Qiandu Xiang’s actions in time.”

“Right, so we must have been exposed. Look, when Qiandu Xiang surrounded Qingfeng Inn, he obviously left an opening. That gap should have been covered by someone, but no one came. That opening must have been left for the snakehead, yet he appeared later.”

“Even if that’s what you’re saying, it still doesn’t prove that I was the one who got exposed,” the Black Demonic Spirit retorted as if others had failed to find evidence against him.

“Can’t you just admit your mistake?” Ouyang Yue demanded.

“I did run into that pock-marked dwarf, Ma Zi, and exchanged a few words, but to conclude that I exposed you all based on that is surely your fault for letting someone else catch onto something. You can’t just shove the responsibility of Qiandu Xiang’s escape onto me; I can’t shoulder that blame,” the Black Demonic Spirit argued.

“So you did make a mistake and you won’t admit it, huh?”

However, the Black Demonic Spirit replied, “You say I wasn’t careful enough, and I admit that, it won’t happen again, but if you want me to take responsibility for Qiandu Xiang escaping, I refuse. I argue that Shao Hengjiang should be the one to take responsibility. Without thoroughly investigating, he initially said the snakehead wouldn’t get involved, yet in the end, the snakehead did, and he still has the audacity to blame others.”

He was incensed at being made to look like a fool, he hadn’t yet settled accounts with Shao Hengjiang, and now they were trying to pin the blame on him again, causing him sleepless nights — that was something he couldn’t accept.

Ye Chen looked at them, then smiled and said, “You all are quite stubborn.”

“It’s all because of the monkey; he didn’t manage to keep hold of Qiandu Xiang,” the Black Demonic Spirit snapped as if he were about to bite someone.

Ye Chen actually found it amusing and asked, “How has the responsibility been pushed onto me?”

“Wasn’t it your job to watch Qiandu Xiang? In the end, he escaped, and you bear no responsibility?” the Black Demonic Spirit countered, unrelenting in his defense as the others blamed him, refusing to suffer in silence.

“Ah, your tongue is becoming sharper and sharper,” Ye Chen said, a bit surprised.

“Really? Then why don’t you tell me if you have any responsibility?” the Black Demonic Spirit challenged with an air of reason.

When the snakehead attacked, chaos erupted, and no one was in the right frame of mind to deal with Qiandu Xiang. Ouyang Yue argued, “Don’t deflect your mistake onto others; it was clearly your fault, and instead, you’re blaming someone else.”

The Black Demonic Spirit countered, “I’m just saying, you can’t lay all the blame on me when you haven’t fully proven that it was I who exposed you. If I had, Qiandu Xiang would have known a day earlier and surely wouldn’t have acted. But he did, so you can’t say I exposed you beforehand.”

“Then how do you explain the snakehead’s inaction?” Ouyang Yue retorted.

“How should I know? I’m not a worm in his belly,” the Black Demonic Spirit snorted.

Ye Chen was truly at his wits’ end with these two, laughing as he said, “Alright, I’m responsible for not keeping a closer eye on Qiandu Xiang, allowing the bastard to escape.”

“You can’t indulge him,” Ouyang Yue said anxiously. “If you keep spoiling him like this, bigger problems are bound to arise sooner or later.”

The Black Demonic Spirit pursed his lips, insistent on arguing his point.

The Red Demonic Spirit lightly smiled and said, “If we really want to clarify this, it won’t be hard to figure out whether it was the Black Demonic Spirit who exposed us or if something else unexpected happened.” He truly didn’t want to see them arguing to the brink of fury.

Ouyang Yue was certainly furious, for the plan had failed, and she couldn’t kill Qiandu Xiang to seek revenge this very night. How could she not be angry?

Nangong Yan, surprised, asked, “How can we figure out what actually happened?”

The Red Demonic Spirit, aware of the Black Demonic Spirit’s personality and sensing Ouyang Yue’s discontent from this evening, felt he had to interject, or these two serious individuals might really come to blows, and said, “Isn’t it easy to find out by capturing someone from the snakehead’s side?”

Indeed, his point was valid. To clarify the situation, capturing someone would quickly bring everything to light, almost certainly so. Yet they sighed and asked, “Where do we capture someone now to question them?”

The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled, then added, “What exactly happened is no longer important, really it isn’t, because the incident has already occurred. It’s useless to dwell on whose fault it was since the mishap has happened. But if you want to ascertain the details, this method is assuredly viable.”

Nangong Yan felt the Red Demonic Spirit made sense, offering, “Right, it’s not important now. We should be more careful.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Tonight, both you and Ouyang Yue should indeed be very careful.”

Puzzled, Nangong Yan asked, “Why?”

“Sixth sense.” Ye Chen glanced around and asked, “Where are we staying tonight?”

Ouyang Yue pointed to an inn ahead of them, and upon looking closer, it was called the Dragon and Phoenix Inn.

Nangong Yao was standing by the window. Upon seeing Ye Chen approach, he said, “Ye Chen, come up here for a moment.”

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised and muttered to himself, “It’s already midnight, and they won’t let people rest. What’s so urgent that it can’t wait until tomorrow morning?!”

“Hurry up, you talk too much. If my father is looking for you, it must be something important.”

Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said, “The most important thing is probably throwing you at me. What could be more important than that?”

“Always the biggest windbag.”

Looking at Ouyang Yue and Nangong Yan, Ye Chen said, “It’s best if you two stay together tonight.” Then, he walked forward.

Watching the monkey run off, Nangong Yan glanced at Ouyang Yue and asked, “Why does this monkey insist on us staying together?”

Ouyang Yue shook her head and said, “I don’t know, but let’s listen to him.”

The Black Demonic Spirit stretched lazily and found his own room. He and the Red Demonic Spirit were sharing a room.

Ye Chen ran to Nangong Yao’s room, greeted Nangong Yao, and to his surprise, saw Shao Hengjiang there as well. It was evident they were discussing something important, but Ye Chen guessed it—what else could be more important than dealing with Qiandu Xiang?

“Senior fellows, did you call me here to discuss using the Sacred Spirit Stone against Qiandu Xiang?”

Shao Hengjiang smiled and said, “It seems you are mentally prepared. Let’s get straight to it. I’m unable to control the Sacred Spirit Stone in my current state. Apart from you, I can’t think of a better person.”

Ye Chen scoffed and said, “You’re really crazy, actually letting me control the Sacred Spirit Stone. Don’t you know I can’t even control the Wolf King’s Ring? I could lash out at any time, and if I go mad, I’ll start killing indiscriminately.”

Shao Hengjiang had of course considered this and had seen him use it before. He said, “When the time comes, Nangong Yao will assist you. He will help you.”

“Haha, you still surprise me. I really can’t be sure.”

“Be confident. Look at my condition; I obviously can’t do it. And who knows how long it will take to regain control? You also want to rid yourself of the ring sooner rather than keep dragging it out.”

“I’m just a bit worried, that’s all.”

“There’s nothing to worry about. I believe in your ability.”

It seemed this guy was absolutely determined.

Shao Hengjiang knew his martial arts skills were good. Indeed, the task seemed tailor-made for him, and he added, “At that time, we’ll help you adjust a bit and it’ll be fine.”

“You’re really letting me take this risk.”

“Your martial arts are the best. You can use the power of the Wolf King to control the energy of the Sacred Spirit Stone. I believe there won’t be any mistakes, just one last time.”

“You must be mad, or else you wouldn’t think this way.”

Shao Hengjiang didn’t want to drag this out since it wasn’t good for anyone.

“Really, you’ve all gone mad, thinking of having me use the power of the Wolf King’s Ring to control the Sacred Spirit Stone. Only a madman could come up with such an idea.”

Nangong Yao said, “Last time, didn’t you use magic power once and it turned out pretty well? Nothing happened in the end, and you even helped us seize the Sacred Spirit Stone. If it weren’t for your timely summoning, we wouldn’t have been a match for Qiandu Xiang.”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “That time in the cave, I did act that way, but it was a last resort. I was afraid Qiandu Xiang would seize the Sacred Spirit Stone and endanger the Central Plains. At such a crucial juncture, my mind just heated up, so I went ahead with it. If I could choose again, I definitely wouldn’t do that.”

“Hey, don’t just dismiss it as soon as it comes up! We’ll take you back to Immortal Medicine Island once to cast a spell and adjust you a bit. When it’s time to use the Wolf King’s Ring, if you maintain control, there won’t be any problem.” Nangong Yao analyzed it very clearly and seriously. Among the three of them, Ye Chen was indeed the most suitable to control the Sacred Spirit Stone. Ye Chen was right, he had indeed been possessed once, but Nangong Yao believed that wouldn’t be an impediment. Just once, and they could defeat Qiandu Xiang. Nothing could go wrong.

These two guys were truly mad, and Ye Chen couldn’t believe it either.

“Qiandu Xiang doesn’t have much left, so help us this one time. After that, we’ll figure out a way together to destroy the Wolf King’s Ring. I think you don’t want to delay either. If you can control the Sacred Spirit Stone, Qiandu Xiang won’t stand a chance against you. Defeating him will be a matter of minutes.” Of course, Nangong Yao had considered controlling the Sacred Spirit Stone himself, but since they last awakened the Sacred Spirit Stone, he knew it was nearly impossible for him to control it in this lifetime. And with Shao Hengjiang suffering a relapse from an old injury due to the Sacred Spirit Stone, who knew when he would fully recover.
