Chapter 1268 - 1268 1254 Revenge

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1254: Revenge Chapter 1268: Chapter 1254: Revenge Ye Chen felt it was unnecessary. If the Immortal City Sect really wanted to acquire the Sacred Spirit Stone and knew that Nangong Yao would soon arrive, why would they kill Shao Hengjiang after getting the stone and revealing their identity? Shao Hengjiang was the leader of Iron Ten Thousand Island. Had he not considered the consequences? Was he truly fearless? Then why would he wear a mask? The only explanation was that he hadn’t thought it through at the time—once he killed, he killed.

Could it have been done by someone else? That seemed impossible. Considering Longhun was likely killed by Su Zhanze, the only ones proficient in the Dragon Slaying Clan’s secret martial arts were Su Zhanze and him. If not Su Zhanze, who else could it be? The key point was that he was holding the Heavenly Pearl, which couldn’t be fake, and he was with disciples from the Immortal City Sect as well as people from the Dragon Slaying Clan. Even though he hadn’t taken out the Dragon Slayer Sword, he didn’t need it; he had succeeded all the same.

The key issue was that two incidents had occurred one after the other: Lion Head Island was annihilated, and Shao Hengjiang was killed, both pointing to the Immortal City Sect. Ye Chen just felt puzzled. He felt that Su Zhanze was not that kind of person. Perhaps Su Zhanze really wanted the Sacred Spirit Stone, but it wasn’t necessary to do it this way. Although Su Zhanze was not very mature, the brutality was something that Ye Chen doubted.

But he hadn’t seen Su Zhanze in half a year, and six months could change a lot.

Guan Xun called out from the side, saying, “Ye Chen, we need to gather in one hour to discuss matters.”

It was time for a serious discussion. Such a major event had occurred, and so many had died—they certainly needed to talk about how to deal with the Immortal City Sect.

Ye Chen stood there dazed; there was no reason not to think that Su Zhanze was responsible for all this. Despite his reluctance to believe it, how had Su Zhanze turned into such a person? What on earth had happened? Perhaps he was unwilling to accept it. If it truly was their doing, then there was a big problem ahead.

Black Demonic Spirit said, “Things have gotten serious. Killing the leader of Iron Ten Thousand Island—they will certainly not let this go. Immortal Medicine Island and the Sacred Spirit Sect will definitely stand with Iron Ten Thousand Island and help them seek revenge.”

Ye Chen replied, “Shao Hengjiang is Ouyang Yue’s biological father,” and then he walked away.

Black Demonic Spirit and Red Demonic Spirit still didn’t know about this.

Black Demonic Spirit asked, “Did he just say that Shao Hengjiang is Ouyang Yue’s biological father?” He thought he must have misheard and widened his eyes as Ye Chen walked away.

Red Demonic Spirit was stunned too. He knew that Nangong Yan was Shao Hengjiang’s daughter, but he never knew that Ouyang Yue was also his daughter. Eagerly chasing after Ye Chen, he asked, “Did you just say that Ouyang Yue is Shao Hengjiang’s daughter?”

“Yes,” Ye Chen replied, entering a large room that many people had already arrived at. Apart from the Sacred Spirit Sect, Immortal Medicine Island, and Iron Ten Thousand Island, there were also masters from the other islands of the Thirty-Six Island Alliance.

The people of the Thirty-Six Islands seemed to be united in their animosity. The Immortal City Sect had dared to come to their territory to take their Spiritual Stone, which had already angered them. The annihilation of Lion Head Island and the killing of Shao Hengjiang were unforgivable. However, they knew they couldn’t face the Immortal City Sect with their own strength.

They couldn’t just watch as the Sacred Spirit Stone of the Thirty-Six Islands was taken away. Even if they couldn’t have it, it should not fall into the hands of outsiders. Now, they needed someone to lead the charge against the Immortal City Sect. With people from the Sacred Spirit Sect, Immortal Medicine Island, and Iron Ten Thousand Island, they were naturally ready to band together for help.

Nangong Yao had met with Ye Chen, and Wan Liyun was also there. Wan Liyun had just learned of Shao Hengjiang’s fate and was caught off guard, unprepared, and still trapped in his pain.

Nangong Yao said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, don’t tell Ouyang Yue about her being Shao Hengjiang’s daughter for now.”

Hearing this, Wan Liyun hastily said, “Yes, don’t tell her. Otherwise, she’ll go mad.”

“But I’ve already told her,” Ye Chen admitted.

Nangong Yao was taken aback.

Ye Chen explained, “Once, after drinking, I let it slip and told her about her being Shao Hengjiang’s daughter.”

Wan Liyun said, “Then it won’t be long before Ouyang Yue learns of her father’s death.”

Ye Chen hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events; it felt like something significant was about to happen.

If Ouyang Yue found out, how could she not seek revenge against the Immortal City Sect?

Such deeds by the Immortal City Sect provoked outrage from both man and heaven.

Red Demonic Spirit asked, “Ye Chen, how did you know that Shao Hengjiang is Ouyang Yue’s father?”

Ye Chen then started to explain.

Black Demonic Spirit was astounded and said, “I didn’t expect that old man to be so capable, having two daughters directly. It’s a pity, though—why is his life so unfortunate?”

Ye Chen couldn’t imagine how the girl would react upon learning of her father’s death. With her temperament, how could she not seek revenge? Indeed, the situation had escalated, and what might happen next was anyone’s guess.

Over a dozen people had arrived, and after a flurry of comments condemning the Immortal City Sect’s actions, they proposed an alliance to confront the Immortal City Sect. Without much thought, everyone readily agreed.

There was practically no opposition, and Ye Chen quietly listened.

Someone shouted, “Even if the Immortal City Sect is a step above us, they can’t cover up for their actions. Even if the Sect were to shelter them, the people of the Thirty-Six Islands are not afraid. They have stolen our treasures and killed so many of us; we must take revenge and strike back.”

Wan Liyun, who was already furious, stepped forward to lead the charge. Although the people of the Iron Ten Thousand Island were seen as pirates by those from the Thirty-Six Islands, at this point, they shared a common enemy and the distinctions did not matter. What was most important was to deal with the Immortal City Sect, retrieve the Sacred Spirit Stone, and avenge the dead. The more, the merrier. As long as people were willing to put forth an effort, nobody would complain about having too many hands.

Guan Xun confirmed their intention, saying, “If we want to take revenge, we must first find out where they are. They haven’t escaped from the Thirty-Six Islands so quickly.”

The Island Master of Gyro Island said, “Hmm, they probably haven’t fled back to the Central Plains yet and are still within the Thirty-Six Islands. We need to join forces promptly to pinpoint their location and track their movements. If they escape back to the Central Plains, then it’s no longer our territory and it would be quite difficult to deal with them.”

The people in the back unanimously agreed, “That’s right, we need to come together, find out where they are, and make the decisions on our Thirty-Six Islands.”

They soon agreed on the first step: to find them before they could escape.

The plan for dealing with them was straightforward, and Ye Chen didn’t make any statement as the excited atmosphere could not be quelled by anyone.

The leader for this matter was confirmed to be the Island Master from Immortal Medicine Island, as they could find no other Island Master with a higher status or rank, and he was also an elder who had come from the Sacred Spirit Sect.

Ye Chen was worried about what Ouyang Yue would think when she heard the news, hoping she was okay.

He also wanted to understand the situation more clearly and see if there were any other possibilities.

But the information available was already mostly understood. Now, he had to help the people of the Thirty-Six Islands find the Immortal City Sect, and although he was doubtful, he had no other choice.

Nangong Yao and the others were worried that an even greater incident might unfold. Su Zhanze was certainly like Qiandu Xiang. With the Sacred Spirit Stone in his possession, it was definitely extremely dangerous.

They must take revenge, and the Sacred Spirit Stone must be reclaimed.

The meeting soon dispersed, and Ye Chen didn’t leave immediately; instead, Nangong Yao called out to him. Nangong Yao was anxious as he was primarily an assistant in the affairs of Taiping Island, with most responsibilities handled by Shao Hengjiang. Now that such a significant event had occurred, he felt overwhelmed and at a loss.

The people of the Thirty-Six Islands wanted him to lead the fight against the Immortal City Sect, but he knew his own abilities. If it weren’t for Ye Chen and Shao Hengjiang’s assistance, he wouldn’t even be able to handle Qiandu Xiang, let alone the Immortal City Sect with the Dragon Slayer Sword. He also acknowledged Ye Chen’s intelligence.

“Ye Chen, how about your magic power?” Nangong Yao first expressed his concern.

Ye Chen, seeing Nangong Yao’s dismay, said, “I’m alright, I’ve stabilized it for now.”

“So, how about you take charge of this matter?”

Ye Chen was taken aback, “I’m not one of the Thirty-Six Islands; they’ve asked you to be responsible for it.”

Nangong Yao, feeling somewhat powerless, said, “I know my own abilities. If it weren’t for my junior brother, I still wouldn’t have figured out that the local snake was using a switcheroo to escape. My junior brother, with his high martial arts skills, was killed; I’m certainly not a match for Su Zhanze. You surely understand the Immortal City Sect better than I do.” He knew of Ye Chen’s past and that Ye Chen had defeated the Dragon Slaying Clan twice with the forces of both the Immortal and Demon Realms.

Knowing he was an outsider, Ye Chen said, “It’s better for you to do it, and I’ll assist you.”

“No, let me assist you instead.”

“That won’t do, I’m an outsider, no matter how you put it. They’ll listen to you; let me assist you, that’s all.”

Seeing Ye Chen’s insistence, Nangong Yao couldn’t say much more and, sighing, said, “If only I had been sent to the south. But my junior brother didn’t trust it and tasked me with the west, so he came over himself.”

Unsure of how to console him, Ye Chen said, “Stop thinking about it, it’s not your fault. I believe Senior Shao didn’t see it coming either.”

“Damn the Immortal City Sect, stealing the Sacred Spirit Stone and killing my junior brother. How could they be so ruthless.” Nangong Yao, despondent, added, “My junior brother anticipated that we might encounter those from the Immortal City Sect, but still we weren’t cautious enough.”

“You just didn’t expect them to bring so many more people all at once.”

“Yes, from what we’ve learned from those who survived on Lion Head Island, we estimated only about four or five hundred. Who could have predicted a thousand would appear all of a sudden.”
