Chapter 1207 - 1207 1193 Worry

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1193: Worry Chapter 1207: Chapter 1193: Worry Su Zhanze suddenly had an idea, thinking if only he could get his hands on the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would be wonderful. Although he now possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword, he wasn’t sure if it could stand against the Sacred Spirit Stone.

Even with all its power, the Dragon Slayer Sword had its limits, which is why in the end it was defeated by the Wolf King’s Ring. If he could take advantage of the opportunity to secure the Sacred Spirit Stone, then there would be no need to worry about it falling into Longhun’s hands.

He needed to think things through. Recently, all his attention had been focused on the events in the Central Plains, to the point that he was completely unaware of what had been happening in the Thirty-Six Islands of the South Sea.

It was time to wake up. If the threat of the Tianye Demon was truly gone, the danger from the Thirty-Six Islands of the South Sea could not be ignored. He cautioned, “Prepare yourselves. We must find out what exactly is happening on the Thirty-Six Islands as soon as possible.”

“Yes, if we could have the Sacred Spirit Stone in our hands, then we wouldn’t have to worry about it ending up with Longhun.”

“Don’t celebrate too early, things aren’t that simple. The Thirty-Six Islands have their own formidable forces; do you really think they’re just sitting there waiting for you to take the stone?” Su Zhanze said seriously.

“Yes, Sect Leader is right. Qiandu Xiang is incredibly powerful, but even he was defeated by Immortal Medicine Island and Iron Ten Thousand Island; we can’t underestimate the Thirty-Six Islands.”

The ship sailed for two days without encountering any attacks, leading into another long night.

Ye Chen walked to the bow of the ship, where the lantern’s light stretched his shadow. As he moved closer to the bow, his shadow shortened.

He had been busy all day, practicing his skills meticulously. He couldn’t afford to skip practice, especially at a time like this when everyone else was busy preparing for battle. There was no room for slip-ups, even if he wasn’t in the best of moods.

He was very clear about what mattered most.

Only then did he find the time to come out and be alone for a while.

No matter what, the same few people kept going around in his head. Besides them, it seemed there was nothing else worth thinking about.

Ouyang Yue, with the day of revenge drawing closer, had been seeking the Sacred Spirit Stone ever since Si Nanyu died. Now that she finally had the Sacred Spirit Stone, her ultimate goal was to kill Qiandu Xiang, avenge the dead, and reclaim the Sacred Spirit Sect.

She was gradually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and although she didn’t want to ponder what would become of the Sacred Spirit Sect in the future, she knew that only by killing Qiandu Xiang would she find liberation.

After being suppressed for a very long time, she went up to the deck to get some fresh air and saw that monkey there from a distance, and called out, “Still thinking about jumping into the sea?”

Ye Chen turned his head, glanced at her, and continued to ponder. The ship felt too small. There was no chance for peace and quiet.

“Yan’er is looking for you down below.”

“She shouldn’t be looking for me; she should be looking for a man.” Ye Chen replied off-handedly, listening to the whoosh of the sea breeze.

Ouyang Yue laughed lightly and said, “Are you still concerned about her getting married?”

Ye Chen said nothing.

“If you really like her that much, and she likes you as well, even if they end up together, just break them up. Even if they have a child, make them divorce.”

That girl must be crazy to say such a thing, he thought, and replied, “I think you should also find a man.”

“No rush. I want to enjoy some time alone right now. Why entangle myself with someone else and invite misery? Or perhaps, I don’t think I’m suffering enough. Anyway, I prefer to be alone.”

“Give it a few more years, and you won’t say the same.”

“Maybe, but seeing you all like this, I think it’s better to wait. You’re thinking about that girl from the Central Plains, and Nangong Yan is thinking about you.”

“I stopped thinking about that long ago; you’re the one who thinks I do.”

Ouyang Yue moved closer to Ye Chen, disbelieving, and asked, “Really stopped thinking about her?” She even leaned in to scrutinize his expression.

Making Ye Chen uncomfortable, he exclaimed, “Yes, I have stopped.”

“I don’t believe you. Your expression can’t lie to yourself.”

“Instead of spending so much effort analyzing me, you should study Qiandu Xiang and figure out if he has come up with a way to deal with us.” Last time, when they had the seafood hotpot, Ye Chen hadn’t talked much, but Nangong Yan’s words had stuck with him. Nangong Yan was right; Qiandu Xiang wouldn’t have stayed if he didn’t think he had a chance of winning. Otherwise, who would be so foolish as to stay and face certain death?

Qiandu Xiang knew the Sacred Spirit Stone was in their possession and yet dared stay; this suggested he might have thought of a way to counter the Sacred Spirit Stone.

“Still thinking about what Nangong Yan said the other time?”

Ye Chen replied, “That girl’s words usually aren’t worth much, but there was some sense in what she said last time. No one would stay around just to die.”

“But I’m not the worm in Qiandu Xiang’s stomach. Do you think he would tell us how he’s planning to deal with us? No way.”

“Does your Sacred Spirit Sect have any demons or something powerful like that?”

“We’re not some demonic deviant sect; what would we have to do with demons?”

“Hehe, so there might be some giant beasts?”

“There are a few giant beasts, but since you’ve even caught his favorite Phoenix Monster, they can’t be a threat to you anymore.”

“Then why is he sticking around?”

“Perhaps he’s trying to attract evil and demonic energy, but he’s definitely no match for you.”

“You’re saying he’s staying to die, but I don’t think Qiandu Xiang is that kind of person.” After several encounters, he found that Qiandu Xiang was neither supremely intelligent nor a fool.

“Don’t tell me you’re scared.”

“Is this about me being scared? I’m talking about practical matters here.”

Ouyang Yue certainly sought advice from Nangong Yao, saying, “I’m trying to find out, but it’s hard to get information, just as they can’t easily find out about us. Maybe Qiandu Xiang just can’t accept defeat and wants to give it another go. After being defeated by you, he’d quickly flee.”

“Who knows, maybe they’ve laid gunpowder, just waiting for us to enter and then turn us to ashes.”

With a smile, Ouyang Yue said, “Impossible. We already have an undercover agent in there. If there’s any trap, we’ll definitely know about it.”

“If those few underlings of yours could spot traps, they wouldn’t have lost the sect leader position to Qiandu Xiang.” Ye Chen grumbled.

“So what do you want to do now? Do you have a better idea?”

“What ideas could I possibly have!”

Spending all day self-healing, with so much time on your hands, why not help us come up with ideas?” Ouyang Yue knew the monkey was smart; last time, it was his idea that ultimately exposed the traitor.

“I’ve been exhausted all day and only just came out now. Do you think I’ve been living the life of a young master?”

“If you really want to break free, then think of a way to defeat Qiandu Xiang. When the time comes, we’ll make sure to block him and not let him escape again.”

“Just don’t let it be the other way around, with them not allowing us to escape.”

“Pure nonsense,” Ouyang Yue retorted.

“I hope it’s nonsense, but don’t get too happy too soon. It’s not over yet. I’ve seen too many who were happy too soon, only to end up disappointed.” Ye Chen mulled it over. Whatever Qiandu Xiang had prepared, worrying uselessly was not the answer. Only by confronting him would they know for sure. If they turned out not to be a match, the plan was to retreat and then regroup.

“There definitely has to be a final battle. We’ll talk after we fight,” Ouyang Yue said, having waited too long for this day and eager to see the matter resolved quickly.

“As you said, it’s as if you said nothing at all.”

“Don’t stress over it.”

As the two were talking, someone came up from the entrance nearby—it was Nangong Yan, who had been looking for Ye Chen. Having searched the kitchen and not finding him, she suspected he might have gone to a quiet place to heal his wounds, and true enough, he was right there upstairs.

“You two seem to be enjoying a romantic moment here.” She carried two bags filled with tasty food.

Ouyang Yue looked up, laughed, and said, “I was just wondering if he was really planning to jump down, to mark the spot where he’d fall, so we could fish him out later.”

“If he was going to jump, he would have done it a few days ago—why wait till today?”

The aroma of roasted meat filled the air, and Ouyang Yue, catching the scent of chives, said, “I’m hungry. I was about to go down and grab something to eat.” She wasn’t shy about taking a bag and asked, “Monkey, why not eat your fill and then continue to heal at leisure?”

“Go ahead and make fun of me; I’m used to it by now.”

Ouyang Yue giggled and said, “At least you know you’re being teased. Come on, show some initiative; don’t just linger in the dark alone.”

“I can’t even get a moment of peace,” Ye Chen complained, feeling his stomach grumble—the grilled sesame seed cakes were still warm.

Biting into one, Ouyang Yue commented, “Not bad, the chef deserves praise.”

“Really! But he’s the chef from my house,” Nangong Yan said.

“You brought the chef from your house onto the boat?”

“Monkey said he liked that chef’s grilled sesame seed cakes,” Nangong Yan explained.

Ouyang Yue said enviously, “You’re too good to Monkey, bringing the chef along just because he wanted to eat sesame cakes. I’m starting to feel jealous.”

Ye Chen sat on the edge of the boat, leaning against a pillar.
