Chapter 1288 - 1288 1274 Targeting Only Su Zhanze

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1274: Targeting Only Su Zhanze Chapter 1288: Chapter 1274: Targeting Only Su Zhanze Li Mo anxiously said, “If that’s the case, you should stop them from acting, no more fighting. If it’s really Longhun’s doing, we are being set up.”

“I’m afraid I’m powerless to do so,” Ye Chen said.

“Then have Ouyang Yue help you.”

“Even less possible. Don’t you know that Ouyang Yue’s biological father was killed? She wants revenge even more and is utterly determined, no one can stop her.”

“What should we do then? If it’s truly Longhun’s doing, is all this killing and dying here worth it?”

“It’s not worth it, rest assured, tomorrow I will prove that Su Zhanze is innocent.”

Li Mo looked at the confident Ye Chen, he seemed to have returned to the Ye Chen of yesterday.

“However, you’ll have to do me a favor.” He knew that Li Mo was now helping Ouyang Yue and also had a group of subordinates at his command; he was essentially Ouyang Yue’s right-hand man.

“Your matters are my matters, there’s no need to speak of favors.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “That comment makes us sound like a married couple.”

“Just say what you want.”

Li Mo smiled.

Ye Chen said, “Wait a moment, I still have to go and persuade them on how to deal with Su Zhanze tomorrow, you better eat something quickly. Once we’ve settled things, I’ll come and find you later.”

The time for the big discussion had come.

Whether it was feasible for the Evil Spirit to confront the Immortal City Sect.

Wan Liyun was naturally the most enthusiastic one; after fighting for a day, he understood the gap. If they didn’t resort to the Evil Spirit, it would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to defeat Su Zhanze.

“We must utilize the Evil Spirit, otherwise no one can deal with Su Zhanze. Everyone has seen today’s situation—the Dragon Slayer Sword in Su Zhanze’s hand is too powerful. Even if more than a dozen of us join forces, we’re still at a great disadvantage. Moreover, Ye Chen dares not summon the magic power of the ring, so we can only seek the help of the Evil Spirit,” said Wan Liyun.

After hearing this, Nangong Yao said, “It’s not that we don’t support using the Evil Spirit, but we worry that if we can’t control it, it will go out of control, and then far more people will be harmed.”

Wan Liyun said, “Right, I’ve considered that too. I can’t be one hundred percent certain, but I can tell everyone that there is a seventy percent chance the Evil Spirit will not cause any problems.”

Someone in the back started to worry, saying, “That still means there’s a thirty percent chance of failure.”

Wan Liyun argued, “That’s not the issue. Because no one can guarantee one hundred percent certainty, and right now, if we want to eliminate the executioner and the murderer within the city, there’s no other way. Only the Evil Spirit can help us, without the Evil Spirit’s help, we can’t deal with Su Zhanze. I have already sought Ye Chen for this matter.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Wan Liyun continued, “Ye Chen can’t summon the magic power of the Wolf King’s Ring, if not handled properly, it could be more dangerous than the threat of the Evil Spirit. Thinking it over, this method seems more reliable.

“Everyone needs to understand that the Immortal City Sect has already sent additional people here. If we don’t seize the opportunity, we may miss such a good chance. We absolutely can’t let Su Zhanze, that demon, get away. If he escapes with the Sacred Spirit Stone, we’ll be in danger. We need to defeat Su Zhanze before their reinforcements arrive.

“Of course, we have to take some risks, but I feel that taking this risk is worth it. If we can eradicate this demon, it will be a cause for great rejoicing.” He had to get his revenge.

Ouyang Yue said in support, “Our Sacred Spirit Sect supports this.” Of course, she would support it; she had to avenge her father, even though he was an irresponsible father, he was still her biological father.

Then, Qin Tuoluo also showed his support.

Only Nangong Yao remained very calm, looking towards Ye Chen, who seemed to have something to say, and asked, “Ye Chen, do you think the plan is workable?”

Ye Chen knew that these people were bent on annihilating the people of the Immortal City Sect. Some might be doing it for revenge, others might be after the Dragon Sword and the Sacred Spirit Stone. Regardless of the motive, they all supported wiping out the Immortal City Sect.

“How about this? Since the Evil Spirit is not stable and might go out of control, let’s change our task for tomorrow from defeating the Immortal City Sect to defeating Su Zhanze, shall we?”

Some of those present didn’t understand, one person asked in confusion, “Is there any difference?”

Ye Chen said, “Of course there’s a difference. Defeating the Immortal City Sect is a whole, while targeting Su Zhanze is a part. A part is easier to control than the whole. To put it frankly, to catch the bandit, catch the king first. Because of the Evil Spirit, there is no absolute certainty, and it’s still possible to lose control. However, if we switch to just a part, then the likelihood of controlling the situation increases. If anything unexpected happens, we can also retreat more effectively to avoid a scenario where the Evil Spirit truly goes awry and starts killing indiscriminately.”

In reality, there’s no difference between defeating Immortal City and defeating Su Zhanze, other than time. Defeat Su Zhanze first, then find a way to beat the Immortal City Sect—it becomes a two-step process, yet far more controllable. As long as we can defeat Su Zhanze tomorrow, taking down the Immortal City Sect will be no issue.”

Though he spoke these words, his mind was occupied by another thought. By shifting the focus from the Immortal City Sect to Su Zhanze alone, he could avoid greater casualties. He did not wish to expand the scale of the losses.

Wan Liyun found Ye Chen’s words somewhat reasonable. That’s right, if they could defeat Su Zhanze, then subduing the Immortal City Sect wouldn’t be a problem either. He said, “Hmm, that’s correct, this plan is feasible. I support it. Let’s defeat Su Zhanze first and then plan how to deal with that bunch from the Immortal City Sect.”

No one opposed, including Nangong Yao.

Only Guo Yuyun found it very strange. What on earth was Ye Chen scheming? Just a moment ago, he had told her that he wanted to clear Su Zhanze’s name, so why did it now become about targeting Su Zhanze? She felt bewildered.

Ye Chen continued, “At that time, guys, don’t rush in headfirst, nor be hasty in deciding the outcome with the Immortal City Sect. We have more people, so let’s divide into groups and hold steady. Let’s wait until we use the Evil Spirit to defeat Su Zhanze before doing anything else. Should any mishap occur, we’ll promptly retreat and figure out another way to handle them afterward.”

Wan Liyun thought it was viable and said, “Holding Su Zhanze’s subordinates steady is an easy task. We outnumber them, so we’ll proceed according to Ye Chen’s plan tomorrow, controlling the situation until we take down that arrogant Su Zhanze.” As long as he could have his revenge, anything else was negotiable, as far as Wan Liyun was concerned.

Ye Chen finally persuaded them and said, “Then it’s decided. No one must act rashly. We must wait until we use the Evil Spirit to defeat Su Zhanze first.”

Everyone below nodded in agreement.

Guo Yuyun really didn’t understand what Ye Chen was up to. What did this have to do with clearing Su Zhanze’s name?

“So it’s agreed then. If there are no objections, we will proceed with this plan tomorrow. Exactly how to control the situation and better ensure our victory over Su Zhanze will be arranged by Senior Nangong and Senior Wan.” Ye Chen said.

Wan Liyun said, “Okay, I’ll organize it. I still need to arrange how exactly we can better ensure that the Evil Spirit doesn’t lose control when the time comes.”

“Then I’ll leave it to the two seniors.”

Wan Liyun replied hastily, “What are you saying? You’re helping us deal with a thoroughly wicked person. You’re the one who’s helped us.”

Ye Chen just smiled and said, “The main task tomorrow is to defeat Su Zhanze. Everything else can wait until after we’ve taken him down. As long as we defeat Su Zhanze, dealing with the Immortal City Sect the day after will be easy.”

Qin Tuoluo said with a smile, “As long as we find a way to defeat Su Zhanze, the people of the Immortal City Sect will have no choice but to surrender.”

Ye Chen quickly added, “That’s right, that’s exactly what I’m trying to say. You’re not executioners, the worst among them should be Su Zhanze, not his subordinates. They’re merely acting on Su Zhanze’s orders and shouldn’t be the targets of our hatred.” He reminded them once again.

Wan Liyun said, “Alright, let’s not bother with the details now. Just figure out how exactly we’re going to beat Su Zhanze tomorrow.” Although they had decided to lure in the Evil Spirit, they couldn’t be sure it would guarantee a win over Su Zhanze, and Ye Chen was the only candidate suitably equipped to face him. After today’s battle, everyone was well aware of this fact.

Wan Liyun left someone in charge.

As Ye Chen left, Guo Yuyun, filled with questions, chased after him, eager to understand what he was planning. Ye Chen simply said, “I know what you’re about to ask. Don’t worry, the plan I told you about hasn’t changed. Tomorrow everything will become clear.”

He hurriedly headed in another direction and left without even greeting Ouyang Yue.

This left Guo Yuyun feeling puzzled. The couple suddenly seemed so distant. After finally meeting again amidst such momentous events, they didn’t even share a proper embrace, which she found utterly incomprehensible.

Ye Chen found Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit and asked, “Li Mo, how many people can you control?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking how many people Yue’er has put under your charge.”

“Because Jiu Hu didn’t show up, most of the Sacred Spirit Sect’s people are basically under Yue’er’s and my charge. Each of us should be responsible for about half,” Li Mo explained.

That was good. Ye Chen did the math—aside from the people he had sent out with the Red Demonic Spirit to find Longhun, the rest were basically under the Black Demonic Spirit’s charge. Together, they still had quite a number of people. Ye Chen relayed the discussions from before and added, “Tomorrow, your job is not to deal with the Immortal City Sect, but to ensure stability and to prevent chaos.”

Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit were both slightly confused, unclear on what Ye Chen meant.
