Chapter 1331 - 1331 1317 Calling Black as White

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1317: Calling Black as White Chapter 1331: Chapter 1317: Calling Black as White “Out of words, are you?” Guo Yuyun said with a cold laugh.

“Who says I’m out of words? I’m just giving you a sense of satisfaction,” Ye Chen retorted.

“To even ask such questions, if I hadn’t thought about it carefully, I wouldn’t have known what you meant.”

“I was just curious,” Ye Chen explained. “I wanted to see if there was something wrong with you all.”

“Saying that you’re especially concerned about me, that you care about my affairs, I wouldn’t laugh at you. Rest assured, I guarantee there’s nothing between me and Song Xizhi.”

Ye Chen quickly said, “You don’t need to promise me anything; there’s no need for that.”

“Won’t you be terribly upset?”

“You’re really overthinking it.”

Boom, boom, boom. Something had happened, like thunder rolling across the sky, suggesting rain was coming. Ye Chen looked up, ceasing his conversation with Guo Yuyun. No, this wasn’t the sound of thunder. Thunder usually comes with dazzling lightning, like drums booming.

Clearly, this was not the sound of thunder,

“Is it going to rain?”

“Doesn’t seem like it. It sounds more like an explosion.” Ye Chen didn’t see any flashing lightning.

The sound was obviously distant and chaotic. It wasn’t the consistent noise of firecrackers. Ye Chen was sure it was a series of noises coming one after another.

“Seems like a fight has broken out.” Guo Yuyun listened intently, but unfortunately, she couldn’t see it happen.

Meng Xiuluo heard the noise and hurried out, her maid Xiang Yi closely following behind her.

It was coming from the direction their ship was heading, their path back to the Island of the Wicked.

It was like fireworks were set off in the distance; soon, roars could be heard. It was either a Giant Beast or a huge Winged Dragon, mixed with the sounds of explosions.

Xiang Yi muttered, “Is it the Island Master and his people?”

Meng Xiuluo looked ahead; there was still some distance from there to here. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Eight or nine out of ten. If there’s a fight, it’s very likely the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Immortal City Sect. If it’s the Dragon Slaying Clan, it’s probably Longhun and his group. We just received news that the Island Master and his people haven’t managed to shake off the Immortal City Sect.”

“Then we should head to the front to see if we can be of any help.”

Of course, that was what Meng Xiuluo was thinking. They didn’t yet know what had happened ahead. “Hurry up,” she said, “put out any unnecessary lanterns and speed up the ship.”

Xiang Yi quickly went to give the orders. Out at sea, lanterns can easily give you away, so extinguishing unnecessary lanterns was essential.

After putting out the lanterns, it was a bit dark, but they could still barely make out what was ahead. The fireworks-like display meant they didn’t need any lights.

Meng Xiuluo needed to figure out what was going on. She worried about Longhun and his group being trapped; after all, the Dragon Slaying Clan didn’t have as many people as the Immortal City Sect, especially after the Immortal City Sect joined forces with Ling Li, the difference became even more apparent.

Longhun didn’t expect that two ships would appear in front of him, exactly the ships of the Immortal City Sect’s Xiang Zi, who hurried over after being summoned by Su Zhanze.

All of a sudden, a triangular formation was formed, directly surrounding Longhun in one area. Longhun was greatly surprised, not expecting to be put in such a predicament. That country bumpkin Su Zhanze was actually able to put him in such a desperate situation, something he had not quite anticipated. Yet it had indeed happened.

After nightfall, he tried to shake off Su Zhanze, and it took him two hours almost to succeed. Just when he was about to get away, two ships firing cannons came over. It was truly unfortunate. If he had just half an hour more, he could have definitely gotten rid of Su Zhanze, but luck just wasn’t on his side and he was caught red-handed.

Mo Ku started to panic and urgently sent out signals for help.

But Longhun knew that no rescue ships would come. On the Island of the Wicked, he had already ordered Dragon Slaying Clan ships to scatter and escape. It was impossible for any of their ships to be nearby.

At this moment, Su Zhanze began to tighten the encirclement.

Mo Ku said, “It’s Immortal City Sect’s ships coming from the Central Plains.”

“I see them.” Longhun glanced around; they were completely blocked. He shouted, “Damn it, let’s fight them! Even if the Sacred Spirit Stone falls into the sea, I refuse to hand it over to them.”

Clearly at the brink of desperation, Longhun spoke those words.

Longhun began to panic, trying to break free, but could only attempt to escape from the front. Su Zhanze at the rear was too formidable, especially with the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. The sword was truly invincible, peerless; perhaps there might be a slim chance in moving forward.

But there were two ships ahead, arranged in a battle formation.

What’s more detestable, they couldn’t let their guard down against Su Zhanze at the back, because his ship could unleash all sorts of Winged Dragons and Giant Beasts, and it kept closing in on them.

What could they do? If they didn’t come up with a plan soon, the situation would only get worse. Their only option was to make a break for it, heading forward.

At that moment, Mo Ku sent out a distress signal. Regardless of whether help would come, it was vital to send the signal first.

Su Zhanze chuckled and said, “Oh, seeking help now, are we? It’s just too bad that your calls for help have come too late, and no one will arrive in time.”

The three ships completely encircled Longhun’s vessel, trapping him between enemies. Su Zhanze was thrilled.

Chen Yu was greatly delighted and said, “Longhun can’t run away this time.”

Su Zhanze smirked, only half of his face visible as the other half was covered by a partial mask, concealing it almost entirely.

Chen Yu said, “Their ship is moving too fast.”

“Then let’s put a few big holes in their ship first,” Su Zhanze confidently proposed.

“Exactly, let’s blast a few big holes, and they won’t be able to run anymore. All that’s left is for us to move in and clean up,” Chen Yu added.

“Indeed, all that’s left is for us to take care of the rest.”

Su Zhanze declared, “Within one hour, we’ll have them sorted.”

He was impatient to deal with Longhun swiftly. For the Sacred Spirit Stone in Longhun’s possession, he had already wasted enough time, and he had nearly lost his life at Paper Kite Island. Where exactly the forces of the thirty-six islands were, he didn’t know. But they might be nearby, so a quick victory was necessary.

“They won’t escape,” Chen Yu, too, was more excited than ever.

“I know they can’t escape, but I don’t want any accidents this time,” said Su Zhanze, loathing those from the thirty-six islands. If those people were to arrive, they would definitely compete with him for the prize, not admitting they’d been eyeing it first, but claiming finders-keepers. He didn’t want to conflict with those from the thirty-six islands, at least not for now.

After fighting for two days, it took an immense effort before they caught Longhun again.

Su Zhanze sneered, “It’s funny, Longhun really is formidable. On the Island of the Wicked, he nearly got us with his schemes. If it hadn’t been for Ling Li and the others acting promptly, who knows what state we’d be in now.”

Chen Yu smirked and said, “In the end, they still fell into our hands. No matter how powerful they are, it’s all in vain.”

Su Zhanze felt compelled to speak a word of fairness, “No, it’s just that Longhun’s luck wasn’t on his side. He never expected that by shaking off his pursuers, he’d run straight into our freshly arrived forces blocking his path. This is fate. So you see, even the cleverest of folks can stumble at times.”

Chen Yu flashed his pearly whites, “That’s only because our Sect Leader planned everything perfectly, surrounding them once again.”

“Not really, it was just luck. I didn’t foresee this piece of good fortune would fall on Xiang Zi, who didn’t manage to arrive in time,” Su Zhanze initially intended for Xiang Zi to come and help encircle the Island of the Wicked. However, Xiang Zi had run into an issue and hadn’t reached in time, causing a delay. Worried about bumping into the thirty-six islands’ people if they waited any longer, he didn’t include Xiang Zi in his plans. But unexpectedly, Xiang Zi managed to turn up here in time; it felt like a blessing in disguise.

Su Zhanze called out, “Alright, I don’t want any mishaps. Those fellows at the back are still chasing us, especially Zun Yu and his lot. If they catch up, they’ll surely spoil our plans. We need a quick victory.”

“Okay, let’s make a few large holes in their ship, then divide the spoils,” Chen Yu roared, “Hey, all you who do nothing but eat, get up! If we take down Longhun and get the Sacred Spirit Stone, we can head back to the Central Plains.”

The disciples of the Immortal City Sect had come from the Central Plains, nearly lost their lives on Paper Kite Island, and unexpectedly, after resolving a misunderstanding, ended up at the Island of the Wicked. After spending a month on the ship, they were restless and eager to return to the Central Plains.

For Chen Yu, everything was about to conclude with the Sacred Spirit Stone soon in their possession. In the future, the Immortal City Sect would be unrivaled. Of course, now was the time to seize the moment and make a good showing, continuing to urge, “Hurry up, if you want to rest, sink that ship first.”

If the Dragon Slayer Sword could merge with the Sacred Spirit Stone, nobody knew what the outcome would be, but presumably, there would be no force capable of resisting such immense power. In the future, not just in the Immortal Demon Domain but in the entire world, Su Zhanze would be the one calling the shots.

Correct, that cursed Ren Haotian, revealing Ren Xiongbei’s affair, definitely posed some difficulty, but it wasn’t beyond salvage. Su Zhanze was increasingly realizing one truth—that victory determined the king. Once he had the Sacred Spirit Stone, nobody would dare to criticize him. To the victor, black could be touted as white; who cared about the actual truth?

So none of that would pose a problem as long as he killed Ren Haotian later on.

With the Sacred Spirit Stone and Dragon Slayer Sword in his possession, who would dare oppose him? He could almost see the future unfolding before him.
