Chapter 1287 - 1287 1273 Longhun is Alive

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1273: Longhun is Alive Chapter 1287: Chapter 1273: Longhun is Alive Guo Yuyun was curious about who had spread the news, but when she heard Ye Chen say it was Ren Haotian, she asked, “Ren Haotian, why are you so certain?”

Ye Chen analyzed, “Knowing such clear details, almost the whole ins and outs, apart from Ren Xiongbei, I guess only Ren Haotian could. Wasn’t it said that Ren Haotian’s whereabouts are unknown?”

“Then why couldn’t it be someone else from Ren Xiongbei’s side?”

“Very unlikely. Everyone is convinced that it was the work of Ren and his son, but whether they really did it, they know best. Second, it’s not just one anonymous letter, but one sent to all sects in the Demon Domain, and the only one who hates Su Zhanze that much is Ren Haotian.”

Guo Yuyun nodded her head.

Ye Chen continued, “What surprises me even more is that this news has coincidentally come out these past two days.”

“What do you mean?” Guo Yuyun asked.

Ye Chen said, “Look, the incident on Taiping Island just happened, and the people from Immortal City Sect are being accused as the masterminds behind the theft of the Sacred Spirit Stone, the executioners who wiped out Lion Head Island, and Su Zhanze as the murderer of Shao Hengjiang. Even you doubted whether Su Zhanze really was such a person. Then this news explodes, neither early nor late, but perfectly timed.”

“Indeed, the news was unexpected. Su Zhanze turned out to be such a person, and people have reason, through Ren Xiongbei’s situation, to further believe that Su Zhanze could pull off the affair on Taiping Island.”

Guo Yuyun frowned tightly and said, “You mean the two incidents are connected.”

Ye Chen said, “I just suspect, why reveal such news now, letting everyone know.”

Guo Yuyun puzzledly said, “To make Su Zhanze unable to clear his name, even if he jumps into the Yellow River?”

Ye Chen said again, “What has Su Zhanze done during this time?”

“He helped the Demon Domain eliminate the Tianye Demon and was preparing to take down Zun Yu.”

“Right, he has been building his prestige and sense of justice, continually doing good deeds, and surpassing others’ expectations. I guess people in the Demon Domain consider Su Zhanze a good person. So, when the incident on Taiping Island occurred, whether it’s you or me, we are all doubtful. Did Su Zhanze really do it? Is he such a person? Indeed, he desires the Sacred Spirit Stone, but he needn’t have acted so ruthlessly unless someone wanted to frame him and make the people from the thirty-six islands mistrust him.”

Ye Chen continued, “There must be someone who knew Su Zhanze would guess this, so they released information about Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren now, which is perfectly timed. Yet, the news came so promptly that it feels as if it’s coordinated with the Taiping Island incident, making people more suspicious if there was premeditation.”

Guo Yuyun, shocked and almost in disbelief, said, “The letter from Su Zhanze last night, it seemed to indicate that the Longhun and Ren Haotian were behind this, right?”

“That’s right.”

Guo Yuyun said, “Then, like you said, it’s very likely that the Taiping Island incident wasn’t done by Su Zhanze and the people of Immortal City Sect.”

“Correct.”

“Then you must quickly tell Nangong Yao and Wan Liyun about this, stop the killing right away, and start investigating to prevent more casualties.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “You think I don’t want to? I do, but no one will believe me. They think that the letter Su Zhanze wrote was just to buy time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Besides, I’m just speculating, without any evidence to convince them. Su Zhanze is literally caught red-handed in bed.”

“Then you should tell Ouyang Yue.”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “From what I know of her, right now she’s obsessed with revenge and won’t believe me either.”

“But that won’t do, you have to try. After all, she’s your fiancee. You can’t let a misunderstanding cause more casualties.” After hearing Ye Chen’s analysis, Guo Yuyun also started to believe that Su Zhanze might be innocent.

“Everything now is just my personal conjecture. Although it proves that Ren Haotian is alive, there’s no proof whether Longhun is still alive. Even if it were proven, everything is just my speculation. They won’t just take my word for it. I can understand; the Sacred Spirit Stone is too important. If it really was Su Zhanze, the threat would be too great.”

When she first arrived, she saw Ye Chen with a troubled look on his face, as if weighed down by worries. Now she understood why, because of this issue.

“Don’t worry, all will be clarified by tomorrow night. I’m not worried about not unraveling this, but rather about what to do next if it really was Longhun’s doing.”

If indeed the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in Su Zhanze’s hands, then it must be in Longhun’s, and just by thinking about it, one would know what Longhun plans.

“You’re worried that if the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in Su Zhanze’s hands, it’s in Longhun’s,” Guo Yuyun said.

Ye Chen just smiled faintly.

Guo Yuyun started feeling a bit sorry. Why was he always so worrying? As if it was in his nature, he easily gripped people’s hearts.

Looking at those vibrant eyes, Ye Chen felt his heart stir again, and quickly turned away, saying, “Song Xizhi is quite nice.”

Guo Yuyun looked over, and Ye Chen said this very quietly.

“Really, he’s impressive, and on top of that, comes from a good family background. With me, you can only be bullied, but with her, you’d be the one doing the bullying.”

Guo Yuyun knew why he was saying this to her, but how could he know what she was truly feeling inside her heart?

The evening glow faded away, and it wouldn’t be long before the sky turned completely dark. Ye Chen was afraid that if this continued, he might be swayed by his emotions again, so he quickly stood up. If that girl couldn’t help herself and threw herself into his arms, kissing him forcefully, what would he do? Could he even bear it? He promptly said, “I’m hungry, and I think you are too, let’s go get something to eat.”

Guo Yuyun was still stunned in place.

“What’s wrong? Let’s go, aren’t you hungry?”

Guo Yuyun stood up and caught up, asking, “Do you really have a way to clarify everything tomorrow?”

“Don’t worry. You’ve known me for more than a day or two, when have I ever boasted to you without reason?”

Guo Yuyun responded with a cold smile.

“It’s a bit dangerous, but I believe I can control it.”

As they were talking, Song Xizhi and Ouyang Yue approached from this side, most likely having finished discussing with Nangong Yao.

“Your sweetheart is here, hurry up, don’t stand there with a blank face, as if I’ve taken advantage of you.”

“That joke isn’t funny at all.” Guo Yuyun quickly moved ahead.

Ye Chen followed, looking into Ouyang Yue’s eyes, which were clearly still a bit swollen, probably from crying.

Ouyang Yue just found out about how they had driven Su Zhanze away today and said, “The Evil Spirit will arrive tomorrow, and once it does, we can definitely deal with the Longhun.” She seemed very determined, as if there were no other option.

“Do we have to use the Evil Spirit?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“Yes, without the Evil Spirit, and with the monkey too scared to summon magic power, it’s very difficult to deal with a demon like Su Zhanze.”

Guo Yuyun voiced her concern, “But I know that Evil Spirits are hard to control, and there are still many innocent people in the city. It will be difficult to manage if chaos breaks out.”

“Don’t worry, we’ve taken that into account.”

“From what you’re saying, it should be possible to control the Evil Spirit, right?” asked Guo Yuyun.

Ye Chen remained silent, knowing he could not stop it. Since that was the case, what was the use of speaking? Besides, he had already made up his mind to take a calculated risk. As long as he could keep the Evil Spirit from causing havoc, that was enough. He wanted to prove to those people that the perpetrator should release Longhun.

Yet, he was curious as to how Longhun had managed to survive. Captured by Su Zhanze, how could there be any chance of survival?

Ouyang Yue replied, “We’re not one hundred percent sure, but for the most part, we can lure out the Evil Spirit.”

“Are you saying there’s still a possibility of accidents happening?” Guo Yuyun said after listening.

“Anyways, we won’t let Su Zhanze get away.”

Ye Chen asked, “So there’s going to be another meeting, right?”

“Yes.”

“How come I haven’t seen the Red Demonic Spirit?” Guo Yuyun inquired.

Ye Chen decided not to explain, as it would be pointless, “I’ve sent him out to handle some things.”

“What else is there to handle now?”

“Well, there are some things.”

“Forget it, if you don’t want to tell me, then don’t.”

“No, I’ll tell you later,” Ye Chen changed the subject, “Are you guys hungry? My stomach has been rumbling twice.”

They headed towards where food was served.

Li Mo was walking over from another direction, having just finished unloading things from the boat.

Ye Chen and the others were eating.

Li Mo waved at Ye Chen from a distance without coming over, as if to suggest a secret rendezvous in the bamboo forest. Ye Chen stood up and walked toward the distant Li Mo, joking, “What’s up? You’ve become shy after not seeing you for a few days.”

Li Mo took out a letter from his bag; it was from Central Plains, written by Guo Yuqing.

“What’s this?”

“I think you should take a look at this letter.” Li Mo heard about the letter Su Zhanze sent to Nangong Yao, claiming he was not the mastermind behind the Taiping Island incident, but no one believed that Longhun was still alive.

Ye Chen took the letter, admiring the beautiful handwriting that only Guo Yuqing could produce.

The content was about how Shi Xueqin saved Longhun. Guo Yuqing was worried that Longhun was still alive but unnoticed, and without vigilance, so she wrote this letter to urge caution.

Ye Chen was greatly surprised, not expecting that Longhun was actually still alive—it felt like a dream.

Li Mo said, “Weren’t you suspecting that the incident might have been Longhun’s doing? This letter just proves that Longhun is still alive.” He had just heard that Ye Chen suggested Nangong Yao not to rush into battle, to clarify everything first, but Nangong Yao did not listen to Ye Chen.

With a shake of his head, Ye Chen said, “Even if it proves that Longhun is still alive, they still believe that this matter was Su Zhanze’s doing because I also don’t believe it.”

Li Mo touched his forehead and said, “It just doesn’t prove whether Ren Haotian is still alive.” He too had heard about the content of the letter Longhun had written.

“He’s alive, I’ve confirmed it.”

“What, Ren Haotian is truly still alive?”

“That’s right.” Ye Chen gripped the letter tightly, appearing to be filled with even more confidence.
