Chapter 1227 - 1227 1213 Converging Paths

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1213: Converging Paths Chapter 1227: Chapter 1213: Converging Paths “It seems you do have a point, but what exactly can those few shrimp soldiers and crab generals of yours do? Does Dragon Soul really need your help?”

“Yes, indeed, I only have those few subordinates, and they might not be up to your standards, but my goal is to kill Su Zhanze and avenge my father. I still have people in the Immortal City Sect, who knows when they might help you out? You’re a smart man, no need to get angry over this. What’s important is how to defeat your opponent Su Zhanze, to turn the tide in a single move. Having one more person who might help you costs you nothing more than a meal, what’s so bad about that?” Ren Haotian was determined to avenge his father; otherwise, he would not be able to rest in peace.

It’s odd to say, but the kid does have a point. I asked, “You still have people in the Immortal City Sect, who would dare to help you?”

“It’s not about wanting to help me, but that some people also dislike Su Zhanze.”

“Really? Those behind you are your subordinates?” Dragon Soul took a glance; they looked like a bunch of defeated curs.

“Yes, just a few dozen, very inconspicuous, all disciples of the Immortal City Sect. But in the Central Plains, my father left behind quite a network of informants. Even though my father is dead, these informants now report to me.”

Dragon Soul stroked his own chin with a judgment of his own, asking, “Was your father truly killed by Su Zhanze?”

“Who else but him? My father analyzed it at the foot of the county city, saying it was all his doing. He was worried that we would spread rumors everywhere, didn’t want my father to fall into the hands of the demons of the Immortal and Demon Realms, so he killed my father.

In the end, he wanted to kill me too, to silence me and my father forever. But he didn’t expect that I’d be saved by a piece of bamboo and miraculously survive,” Ren Haotian recalled the events of that night.

Dragon Soul smiled, “It seems your father has some spiritual protection from heaven, not letting you die just like that.”

Ren Haotian said, “You’re in the Central Plains, so you’re not as well-informed as we are. You need my help, and I don’t need any benefit from you. I just want to kill Su Zhanze to avenge my father.” At this time, Su Zhanze was at the height of his power; no sect would oppose him, except for the Dragon Slaying Clan. They and Su Zhanze were irreconcilable enemies.

“So, an enemy of my enemy is my friend, huh?”

“That’s the idea.”

“If you indeed want to help me with no conditions, I can’t be too unreasonable. Rest assured, as long as you truly help me, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Haotian was overjoyed, quickly kneeling and saying, “From now on, you are my leader. I will do everything to help you deal with Su Zhanze.” Thinking that all of this was orchestrated by Su Zhanze, he could not just let it be without seeking justice.

“However, if you want to deal with Su Zhanze, you’ll first have to take your subordinates to Taiping Island with me,” Dragon Soul continued, “You must know, right now, we’re like a cornered rat. Su Zhanze has stolen the Dragon Slayer Sword and destroyed the Tianye Demon; he’s now unstoppable. The only way to match him and think of facing him is to get the Sacred Spirit Stone; otherwise, we won’t stand a chance, let alone facing the Immortal and Demon Realms later.”

Filled with gratitude, Ren Haotian said with tears, “As long as I can be of help, I’ll do my utmost. To avenge my father, I’m willing to lay down my life.”

“That won’t be necessary. Why would I want you to lay down your life? But I’m still curious, if someday I get rid of Su Zhanze and have to deal with other disciples from the Immortal and Demon Realms, would you help me?”

Ren Haotian, filled with a fierce resolve, lifted his head and declared, “Those bastards from the Immortal and Demon Realms, none are good. They just want the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. If it weren’t for them, my father wouldn’t have died. They are all dirty scoundrels, appearing righteous on the surface but scheming behind the scenes.” He and his father had tried to explain to them during that time, but not a single person was willing to help them. It wasn’t enough to not help; they even resorted to exterminating them. If Su Zhanze was the murderer of his father, then those from the Immortal and Demon Realms were complicit.

“Understood, it looks like you’re determined to go against the Immortal and Demon Realms.”

“They forced me to this point; none of those bastards are good, all scoundrels.”

Old Du came forward, handing over the Immortal Pearl he had received from Ren Haotian to Dragon Soul.

Dragon Soul nodded slightly. Before seeing Ren Haotian, he was pondering how to frame the Immortal and Demon Realms or those people like Su Zhanze once he got the Sacred Spirit Stone. The moment he received the Immortal Pearl, looking at Ren Haotian and his thirty-some subordinates, he seemed to have a plan in mind.

Ren Haotian asked, “Do you need me to do anything?”

Dragon Soul laughed, “Not sure yet, and don’t know if it will succeed, but you’ll have to take your men with me to Taiping Island.”

“Is the Sacred Spirit Stone on Taiping Island?”

“Hmm, maybe. That’s why I need to make a trip there.”

“I will follow the leader’s orders.”

“Ha ha, after all, we’re going to be family soon.” Although the conversation was brief, Dragon Soul needed an ally. It seemed the heavens were kind, giving him such a good opportunity.

Ye Chen hadn’t had a drink in a few days, nearly getting unused to it. Spending all day like a pampered pretty boy, staying at home doing nothing, it was quite distressing for him.

How could he stay in the yard doing nothing? Reading books for a few days would also become bothersome; he had to find something more practical to do.

As dusk fell, Ouyang Yue trudged in wearily, ready to collapse.

As she entered the door, she called out, “Ah Ya, hurry and prepare the meal.”

Ah Ya responded and went off to do so.

Ouyang Yue walked over, glanced at Ye Chen leisurely reading a book, and felt somewhat relieved inside. After he misunderstood her previously, he stopped drinking, which seemed like a way to deal with him. While she felt it wasn’t the best approach, she couldn’t spare much time to deal with him, and she couldn’t bear to watch him drown his sorrows in drink every day.

She guzzled down three cups of tea in a row to calm herself significantly.

“Have you found the Moon Beast?” Ye Chen knew that Ouyang Yue was responsible for locating the Moon Beast while Nangong Yao’s people were tasked with retrieving the Sacred Spirit Stone. However, he also knew that even if Ouyang Yue found the Moon Beast, she couldn’t capture it without the help of the Sacred Spirit Stone, unless…

“There’s a bit of a lead.”

“Then let me help you capture it.”

“Aren’t you continuing your life of freedom?”

“Hey, I haven’t had a drink in a while now.”

“So, do you still want to drink?”

“How dare I.” Ye Chen put down the book he was holding.

Ouyang Yue, of course, hoped for Ye Chen’s help, but only if the magic power within his body was very unstable, she wouldn’t want any more accidents to happen.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. The people under you can’t handle the Moon Beast.”

He wasn’t wrong, the Moon Beast was formidable, not something a few people could capture. She asked, “Are you sure?”

“You still don’t trust me? Do you think you can capture it?”

Seeing the other party become proactive, Ouyang Yue nodded slightly, “Let’s wait another two days.”

About the matter of sleeping together, Ye Chen had a serious talk with Ouyang Yue afterward. He had come to accept the reality but hoped she would give him some time. After all, the incident had been too sudden, and he had no mental preparation for it, nor had he ever thought about being with her one day. It was best to hold off and give each other some space.

Ouyang Yue, seeing how serious he was, couldn’t refuse. She, of course, knew that one day she would have to clear things up, but still wanted to wait until he had completely come out of his current state; she didn’t want to see him continue to deteriorate.

In the end, they agreed to give each other some space.

These past few days, those issues hadn’t been brought up again.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself. Hand over the things in your hands to Jiu Hu and Li Mo, they can handle them well for you.”

“Of course, I would like that, but with the current situation, I can’t relax.”

“Don’t be so stubborn. By the way, have you decided whether or not you’ll acknowledge your father when the time comes?”

Ouyang Yue sat down with an angry look, snapped, “Do you have to mention that?”

“You have to face it, right? Do you really want to be stubborn with your father until the end? I think it will only make things difficult for you.”

“Hey, can you not be so annoying.”

Ye Chen spoke up, “Alright, I won’t bring it up again. So, have they found the local snake yet?”

Ouyang Yue answered offhandedly, “It’s confirmed they’re heading to Taiping Island, but Taiping Island is very large, as big as our Sacred Spirit Island, and the situation there is very complicated.”

Ye Chen, puzzled, asked, “Complicated? Neither your father nor Nangong Yao can control it?”

“Hey, he’s not my father.”

Ye Chen hurriedly said, “Alright, he’s not your father. Happy now?”

Ouyang Yue continued, “That place is a no-man’s land, different from here. It’s teeming with all sorts of demons and devils, not something a single power can control. It’s extremely complex. The local snake took the Sacred Spirit Stone, probably because he was desperate. Aside from our people looking for him, the thirty-six islands are as well. He chose Taiping Island because he saw the complexity here, knowing we can’t control it, so he picked this place.

You don’t need to worry, the local snake is just blundering about. He won’t be able to escape from Taiping Island.”

Ye Chen was somewhat worried as he shook his head, “I don’t think it’ll be that easy. The local snake isn’t stupid. Knowing that you’re after him, he deliberately picked such a complicated place and even drew the people from the thirty-six islands there. He’s trying to make the situation even more complex, so Nangong Yao and his people will also have difficulty dealing with it.”

“Sigh, it’s a pity he took the Sacred Spirit Stone at that time, but you don’t need to worry. With their rich experience, you should focus on your own matters.”

“I don’t have much to consider.” Ye Chen said frankly.
