Chapter 1292 - 1292 1278 Qin Tuoluo Has Ulterior Motives

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1278: Qin Tuoluo Has Ulterior Motives Chapter 1292: Chapter 1278: Qin Tuoluo Has Ulterior Motives Qin Tuoluo became even more interested. It seemed he wasn’t the only one with this idea.

“I think when the time comes, they’re very likely to rush up and snatch it if they defeat Su Zhanze,” said the bald henchman.

Qin Tuoluo asked, “They’re going to rush up and snatch it?”

The bald henchman replied, “I’ve only heard about it. Hadn’t we already agreed that whoever snatches the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would belong to them? This was arranged long ago. With things as they are, who wouldn’t want to seize the opportunity to get their hands on the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Sacred Spirit Stone, or the Heavenly Pearl first?”

However, Qin Tuoluo said, “But we had agreed that our main task today is to defeat Su Zhanze.”

The bald henchman said, “Defeat him, and everything is resolved. Just rush him all at once. Who ends up with the Dragon Slayer Sword, we still can’t say. We should take advantage of the chaos to snatch it.”

Qin Tuoluo didn’t want to be the one to stick his neck out and said, “If the other island masters do that, we can go up and snatch it too. That can be justified. I don’t want people gossiping about me.”

Half-assed thought there was a chance and said, “Then, we find a few other island masters and say we’ll rush up together when they do. Once they charge, we charge. By the time Wan Liyun and Nangong Yao realize what’s happened, we would have already grabbed the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Qin Tuoluo looked at Half-assed, and although he didn’t speak, in his heart, he acknowledged that the plan was feasible.

“I think this plan is very workable. We’ve put in the most effort. If it weren’t for our early arrival, how could the people from Immortal City Sect have been trapped on Paper Kite Island? We’ve put in so much effort without gaining anything, just for a good reputation. Forget it, what’s the use of reputation? It’s better to get something practical,” said the bald henchman.

Half-assed added fuel to the fire, saying, “That’s right. Indeed, we should go up and snatch it.”

“When everyone rushes in, who can blame anyone? Nangong Yao and Wan Liyun won’t have anything to say. By the time they react, it will all be over and the Dragon Slayer Sword will have already fallen into our hands,” the bald henchman continued.

Qin Tuoluo, as if seeing the Dragon Slayer Sword in his own hands, said, “Okay, let’s go with this plan. Ask the other island masters if they want to do this too. After defeating Su Zhanze, we rush in. Whoever snatches the Dragon Slayer Sword, it will be theirs to keep.”

The bald henchman chuckled and said, “Island Master is wise.”

“Nangong Yao won’t be able to blame us then.”

“Of course, they definitely won’t blame us. Let’s get the Dragon Slayer Sword first. As the Island Master said, even if we don’t get the Dragon Slayer Sword but get the Heavenly Pearl, it’s better than getting nothing at all,” said the bald henchman.

Qin Tuoluo was already tempted and said, “Half-assed, go find the other island masters and tell them if they too want to snatch it, we’ll join them.”

The bald henchman said, “I’m afraid, there’s no need to discuss with them. When the time comes, they’ll all just rush in.”

Qin Tuoluo smiled.

The bald henchman added, “Nangong Yao and Wan Liyun won’t be able to control it. By then, no one will listen to them. That Nangong Yao is not a good person either; the day before yesterday, he wanted Su Zhanze to hand over the Dragon Slayer Sword, but Su Zhanze didn’t agree. I think Nangong Yao wants to monopolize the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Half-assed shook his head and said, “Nangong Yao is still worthy of admiration. He wouldn’t do something like that.”

“That’s hard to say. Who wouldn’t want to possess such a precious sword when they see it?”

Qin Tuoluo, worried that the battle would soon begin, called out, “Stop wasting time here. Hurry up, Half-assed.”

In a hurry, Half-assed stood up and said, “I will definitely handle this smoothly.”

“Fine, hurry up. The battle is about to start. I also need some time to prepare properly,” said Qin Tuoluo.

Half-assed left,

Leaving Qin Tuoluo and the bald henchman. Qin Tuoluo wondered, “Ye Chen should be able to defeat Su Zhanze, right?”

The bald henchman replied, “I think, with the help of the Evil Spirit, there’s a great chance.”

“Right, I still have faith in Ye Chen’s martial arts. Su Zhanze might be powerful, but the Evil Spirit isn’t inferior. If Ye Chen coordinates well, there’s a chance he could defeat Su Zhanze,” Qin Tuoluo said, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

The bald henchman, seeing an opportunity, said, “We all agreed from the start, whoever gets the Dragon Slayer Sword, it’s theirs. If we miss such a chance and let someone else have it, we’ll have nowhere to cry out of regret.”

Qin Tuoluo said, “Don’t be foolish. In a word, if Ye Chen defeats Su Zhanze, we snatch it.”

“Understood.”

Wan Liyun, upon seeing only Ye Chen and Li Mo, was surprised and wondered why Ouyang Yue wasn’t there.

Ye Chen quickly explained, “Ouyang Yue isn’t feeling well, so she’s staying on the boat to rest and won’t come down for today’s decisive battle. Still, the affairs of the Sacred Spirit Sect will be left in the hands of Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit.”

Wan Liyun nodded after listening and said, “She must be too heartbroken, which is why she made herself ill. It’s good that she’s not participating.”

Ye Chen replied, “Yes, I feel the same. She shouldn’t participate.”

Nangong Yao came over from one side, and upon hearing that Ouyang Yue wasn’t feeling well, asked, “What’s wrong with Yue’er?”

“She’s probably fatigued from being too distraught lately. This morning she said she felt dizzy, so I didn’t let her come down. The affairs of the Sacred Spirit Sect will be directly handled by Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit at that time.”

None of them knew that Ye Chen was up to mischief, but they trusted him, and both Nangong Yao and Wan Liyun were quite at ease entrusting the disciples of the Sacred Spirit Sect to him.

Song Xizhi and Guo Yuyun also came over.

Ye Chen asked, “Where is the Evil Spirit?”

Wan Liyun replied, “In half an hour, he will be lured here for sure.”

Ye Chen jokingly asked, “Are you certain about this?” They wanted Ye Chen to join forces with the Evil Spirit to deal with Su Zhanze, and Ye Chen was still somewhat uneasy.

“Don’t worry, there’s a sixty to seventy percent chance,” Wan Liyun joked.

“I just don’t want to end up not defeating Su Zhanze and instead be eaten by the Evil Spirit.”

Wan Liyun said, “That would certainly be the worst, but the likelihood of that happening is very low.”

Ye Chen furrowed his brows and said, “Such a thing could still happen, right?”

“Rest assured, I will make sure to reduce that probability even further.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly.

Nangong Yao said, “Then, when the time comes, the disciples of the Sacred Spirit Sect will be taken care of by Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit.”

“Hmm.” Li Mo nodded.

“Let’s work in unison then.”

Fortunately, Li Mo had been helping Ouyang Yue during this time, and because of the coordination over this period, the disciples of the Sacred Spirit Sect were quite willing to listen to Li Mo. Ye Chen had taken this into account.

Ye Chen reminded the two seniors, “Elders, if it’s possible to end all this in a more peaceful way after defeating Su Zhanze, that would be good too.”

Nangong Yao of course understood what Ye Chen meant. He had understood Ye Chen’s intention when he said the night before that they should defeat Su Zhanze first—to avoid causing more casualties. He said, “I understand what you mean, and of course, I would be very pleased if it turns out as you say.”

However, Wan Liyun said, “I’m afraid you might be too optimistic. It’s not certain whether Su Zhanze’s subordinates will surrender.”

Ye Chen couldn’t guarantee it either and said, “Yes, indeed, I can’t assure their surrender, but if they have no way out, they will have no choice. But let’s not be so hasty. Even if Su Zhanze is bad, those below are just following his commands; many are innocent.”

After these past few days, much of Wan Liyun’s resentment had dissipated, and he said, “As long as we find out who the real culprit is and punish the conspirators, I will be satisfied.”

Hearing Wan Liyun say this, Ye Chen felt somewhat reassured, managing to stabilize them both. These two were quite reasonable. He was fairly confident about Nangong Yao; his only concern was Wan Liyun, as the murdered person was Shao Hengjiang, their Island Master, and it was clear to him that those below sought vengeance. However, with Wan Liyun speaking like this, he felt more secure.

Wan Liyun said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go down and prepare.” He quickly led his people away as he was also responsible for leading the Evil Spirit in.

Nangong Yao also prepared to leave.

That left only Ye Chen and Li Mo with their group.

Guo Yuyun looked at Ye Chen and figured he must be the most worried person here and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help Li Mo.”

Ye Chen said, “Just be careful not to get caught in the crossfire.”

“I’m telling you to be careful, so you don’t get eaten by the Evil Spirit.”

“Being eaten wouldn’t be so bad, it would at least fill the Evil Spirit’s stomach and spare me further agony.”

Hearing this, she really got annoyed, feeling like slapping him, but refrained because people were watching.

“Ah, forget it, Song Xizhi, take good care of this girl, will you?”

Song Xizhi nodded slightly.

Ye Chen glanced at the Black Demonic Spirit and said, “Old Hei, could you perk up a bit? Don’t look as if your wife’s been caught cheating.”

Guo Yuyun chuckled upon hearing this.

The Black Demonic Spirit was still wondering how to explain things to Ah Ya later on; just last night, after his confession, Ah Ya had said she would give him a chance, and now there was a problem. Indeed, carrying a sedative drug and trying to offer a clear explanation would be tough. After the excitement from last night, an abrupt cold shower this morning is more than most could handle.

He glared at Guo Yuyun, feeling that she, unhappy in her own love life, couldn’t stand to see others happy and did this on purpose.

“There’s no use looking at me. If you don’t want to give yourself away, the best way is to keep clean,” she said, seemingly having little respect for those who are fickle in love.

“Alright, once this matter is settled, I will try to bring you two together again. That would be alright, wouldn’t it?” Ye Chen was genuinely worried that the trouble might originate from the Black Demonic Spirit. Although everything was well arranged, he couldn’t be entirely at ease. After all, he knew that the islands harbored all sorts of scheming personalities who had clashed with the Sacred Spirit Sect over the Sacred Spirit Stone.
