Chapter 1271 - 1271 1257 Paper Kite Island

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1257: Paper Kite Island Chapter 1271: Chapter 1257: Paper Kite Island Two things pointed out that it was done by someone from the Immortal City Sect.

With evidence already at hand, if someone was trying to frame the people from the Immortal City Sect, then they were extremely clever. Guo Yuyun heard that Shao Hengjiang had formidable martial arts, and she guessed that probably only Su Zhanze could have killed him.

Alas, to steal the Sacred Spirit Stone, was it necessary to kill?

In the past six months, many had gained new respect for Su Zhanze. During this time, he had helped the people from both the Immortal and Demon Domains to eliminate the Tianye Demon and calm the various territories, which was witnessed by all. It was due to seeing his efforts that Yun’er decided to help him by convincing her sister to give him a chance, and in the beginning, her sister had agreed.

But why did she refuse at the last moment? Guo Yuyun grew curious. From what Song Xizhi had just said, she still didn’t know why her sister had changed her mind and denied him the opportunity.

She really wanted to know what her sister was thinking.

Suddenly, she thought, could it be that her sister actually believed that since she was marrying Song Xizhi, and worried that Ye Chen would be left with no one to care for him, she rejected Su Zhanze to stay with Ye Chen instead?

Why was this not a possibility?

In Bell and Drum City, because of her sister, Ye Chen had regained his senses. Guo Yuyun knew her sister harbored feelings for Ye Chen; even if she married Su Zhanze, she still left a place in her heart for Ye Chen.

Her sister had merely buried her feelings, but they were always there. When her sister learned that Ye Chen’s favorite person was her, why couldn’t she entertain the thought once more?

This wasn’t selfishness, nor was it detestable. Everyone has a little self-interest, and most importantly, she and Ye Chen cherished one another.

After breaking off with Su Zhanze, there was no longer any obstacle for her sister. She herself was getting married, and perhaps the emotional impact made her sister reconsider. Although Guo Yuyun believed her sister was not such a person, sometimes people just act that way.

Yun’er pressed her forehead, suddenly agitated by Song Xizhi’s words.

So, Su Zhanze was actually such a person. Thankfully her sister didn’t give him a chance; otherwise, how agonizing it would have been for her.

Why bother with these idle thoughts? Ye Chen left instructions for the one lying on the bed—what’s the use of pondering over this?

Why think about these useless things?

Suddenly, there was a slight movement of the hand, and right after, she slightly opened her eyes. Yun’er quickly flew beside her and called out, “Ah Ya, Moon Beast is awake.”

Ah Ya ran in from outside the yard.

As soon as Ouyang Yue sat up, she began to cry uncontrollably, tears endlessly streaming down.

Guo Yuyun approached to comfort her, as someone who was not good at consoling others, she didn’t know what else to say.

Although Ouyang Yue didn’t want to acknowledge Shao Hengjiang, he was her father. She had just found out about him, and without the chance for another meeting, she would never see him again. Her tears flowed like a fountain.

It was unclear how long she cried, but it made everyone watching want to cry along with her.

Ouyang Yue also exclaimed, “Those damned Immortal City Sect, I must avenge my father.” Blood is indeed thicker than water, as she swiftly shifted from crying to fury and called out, “Where are Jiu Hu and Li Mo?”

Ah Ya replied, “Jiu Hu said he is going to prepare for revenge for Uncle Shao and has already left.”

Ouyang Yue stood up and said, “Think they can escape? No way, to kill my father and just run away, how could that be possible?” She was completely enraged.

Guo Yuyun didn’t know what else to say, wondering who could possibly calm her down now.

Ouyang Yue looked at the letter and didn’t faint this time, but simply said, “Don’t think of escaping.” She instructed Ah Ya to pack her things, apparently planning to seek revenge that very day.

Worried for her, Guo Yuyun quickly said, “Moon Beast, I should go with you.”

But Moon Beast replied, “You all don’t need to follow me.”

How could Guo Yuyun rest easy, allowing her to take people with her alone? She said, “This matter, it might not only concern the Thirty-Six Islands, but it could also be related to our Immortal and Demon Domains.”

Song Xizhi added, “Yes, it is no longer just about the Thirty-Six Islands. If the Sacred Spirit Stone really ends up in the hands of the Immortal City Sect and they did commit those acts, we will definitely seek justice for you.”

Ouyang Yue said, “Don’t tell me you still don’t believe that all these deeds were orchestrated by Su Zhanze and his men.” She was getting worked up again.

“No, I mean, it’s unknown what exactly Su Zhanze is planning, whether he wants to use the Sacred Spirit Stone to unify the human world, and we will stand by your side,” explained Guo Yuyun.

Ouyang Yue was no longer as agitated.

Guo Yuyun called out, “Brother Song, you should get ready too, we’re preparing to leave.” She, too, wanted to know why exactly Su Zhanze did what he did. Had this guy lost his mind to do such things?

Before long, Li Mo and Jiu Hu arrived.

Jiu Hu, swearing an oath, insisted on avenging Ouyang Yue, but then Ouyang Yue said, “Jiu Hu, you stay here.”

“What? I stay here? But I have to help you.”

“Sacred Spirit City has just been taken over. If I leave, someone must stay in charge. You will be responsible for the matters of Sacred Spirit City; Li Mo and I will head over there.”

Jiu Hu was left speechless.

“It has to be either you or me who stays behind. One of us must remain, and I am definitely going. So, you stay.”

Guo Yuyun said, “Don’t worry. Besides, we two will follow Yun’er, nothing will happen.”

Jiu Hu then nodded and said, “Alright, we mustn’t let those Immortal City Sect people get away.”

“Thinking of getting away easily? It won’t be so simple,” Ouyang Yue said. Her eyes were still red and swollen, unlikely to subside anytime soon.

“Alright, the ships are all ready. You can set out immediately.”

“Mhm, regarding the matter of the Moon Beast, you don’t have to worry about it for now. Just make sure nothing happens to Sacred Spirit Island.”

“Understood, I know the weight of the matters,” Jiu Hu said.

Baili He and his people had long vanished without a trace, and now, with such a serious incident, the Sacred Spirit Stone might very well be monopolized by the Immortal City Sect people. The most important things, of course, were to take revenge and snatch back the Sacred Spirit Stone.

In the afternoon, they set sail smoothly. Guo Yuyun and Song Xizhi also boarded the ships. There were two vessels in total; one was under Ouyang Yue’s command, with Guo Yuyun and Song Xizhi on the same ship as Ouyang Yue. The other ship was left to Li Mo’s command, trailing behind the one led by Ouyang Yue.

An island called Paper Kite Island was not famous compared to the other islands of the thirty-six islands; it had a small population, merely forty or fifty thousand people, so it could only be considered a small city. However, its location was of utmost importance, as there were no larger islands for dozens of miles around.

The ships sailed across the sea, docking at ports every few days for supplies. This small island called Paper Kite Island became the best nearby choice for stops. Otherwise, they would have to sustain for an extra two days to reach the next island. For the people of the thirty-six islands, finding a dock was easy.

But it wasn’t so convenient for Su Zhanze. He didn’t want to attract attention. Because only traders cared about this island called Paper Kite Island and the people of the thirty-six islands hardly ever visited, they had chosen this island.

He set sail from the south with two ships and after four days, they were almost out of food and needed to resupply properly. Paper Kite Island was chosen by Ling Li, who had arrived at Paper Kite Island early, staring at it.

He was to meet Ling Li at Paper Kite Island to discuss and confirm the next steps.

But he was unaware of what had happened on Taiping Island.

The ships docked after dark, and Ling Li, accompanied by several people, hurried over.

Su Zhanze assigned the task of resupplying to Chen Yu. Seeing Ling Li rushing over, he was puzzled and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ling Li had only just found out as well. He looked around and said, “The Sacred Spirit Stone was stolen by people from the Immortal City Sect.”

Su Zhanze shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I mean, it was stolen by people pretending to be from the Immortal City Sect.”

Su Zhanze was even more confused.

Ling Li became even more cautious, taking Su Zhanze and about a dozen others to the inn that had been arranged early on.

“What exactly happened?”

Ling Li replied, “Someone, disguising themselves as from the Immortal City Sect, murdered Shao Hengjiang last night and stole the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Murdered Shao Hengjiang and stole the Sacred Spirit Stone while pretending to be from the Immortal City Sect.”

As it turned out, Ling Li had arrived at Paper Kite Island just the day before and was informed by someone who had come ahead to the thirty-six islands to gather information.

When Ling Li heard the news, he too was utterly bewildered, just like Su Zhanze at present. Hoping to get lucky, he hadn’t expected to still miss out. Ling Li shared with Su Zhanze all the information he knew.

He began with the people from Lion Head Island who were exterminated by a group concealing their faces and demonstrating Immortal City Sect’s martial arts. He went on to describe the suspicions that the local snake hadn’t died and the possibility that the Sacred Spirit Stone might still be in the latter’s possession. Then, how the local snake attempted to escape from the south of Taiping Island but was surrounded by Shao Hengjiang’s men, and finally, how the group that knew Immortal City Sect’s martial arts once again disguised themselves as members of the sect, appeared, seized the Sacred Spirit Stone, killed Shao Hengjiang, and now the alliance of hatred across the thirty-six islands.

Chen Yu was shocked and still felt confused, saying, “Are you saying that someone holding the Heavenly Pearl, capable of Dragon Slaying Secret Manual’s martial arts, led a group of Immortal City Sect’s disciples, first wiped out the people of Lion Head Island, found that the Sacred Spirit Stone was not with them, then Shao Hengjiang suspected that the local snake wasn’t dead, and that the Sacred Spirit Stone might still be with the local snake, surrounded the escaping local snake on the south side of Taiping Island, only to have the fake Immortal City Sect’s disciples who were lying in wait at the back kill them and steal the Sacred Spirit Stone, and also killed Shao Hengjiang, is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s exactly it,” Ling Li responded.
