Chapter 1373 - 1373 1359 Suspicions

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1359: Suspicions Chapter 1373: Chapter 1359: Suspicions Hu Nanyue’s words interrupted Guo Yuqing’s deep thoughts.

Guo Yuqing said, “Yes, the Sacred Spirit Sect left a ship behind, led by Li Mo. Although there’s still no news of Ye Chen, Li Mo and the others still believe Ye Chen and Yun’er are alive, likely captured on some island, and may appear at any moment. They want to continue searching in case one day Ye Chen returns, so he will have a welcome party.”

Hu Nanyue nodded and exclaimed with regret, “If Ye Chen were here, joining forces with Su Zhanze, our chances of winning would be even greater. That monkey just has bad luck, so kind-hearted and responsible, yet he has to face such predicaments, which is really heart-wrenching.”

He didn’t just stumble into such predicaments; he got himself into that state while trying to help the Immortal Demon Realm.

Lou Xuancheng asked, “Yuqing, you must be keeping in touch with this Li Mo, right?”

“I’ve been keeping in touch all along,” Qing’er replied.

“Mmm, if there’s any news of Ye Chen, you must tell me right away.”

“Of course.”

Hu Nanyue seemed to sink into contemplation and said, “Ye Chen always puts people at ease with his sharp wit. Last time, it was thanks to Ye Chen that we defeated Longhun. Unfortunately, Su Zhanze captured Longhun but didn’t kill him. It would have been much better if he had killed Longhun; then we wouldn’t have today’s situation.”

Lou Xuancheng, however, said, “Don’t dwell on the past. No one wanted these events to happen. We should focus on doing our best with what we have now. We really don’t have much time left.”

Hu Nanyue nodded slightly and proposed, “Should we also arrange a formation? It might come in handy later.”

“Certainly, we must make the most of this month and prepare as much as possible.”

Hu Nanyue, aware of the pressure Lou Xuancheng faced having persuaded Su Zhanze, yet unable to feel at ease, brought up Ye Chen again, which clearly indicated his concern that Su Zhanze might not be a match for Longhun.

“Indeed, our chances would be much greater if Ye Chen is still alive.”

“Alright, do you remember everything I’ve arranged for you?” Lou Xuancheng was about to return to Demon Palace City, leaving some people with Hu Nanyue to oversee matters here while he went back to Demon Palace City to make arrangements and preparations.

Turning around, Lou Xuancheng then asked Qing’er, “Would you return to Demon Palace City with me?”

“Mmm,” Guo Yuqing nodded.

“Do you want to meet Su Zhanze?”

Guo Yuqing glanced ahead where a group from the Immortal City Sect seemed to be preparing to leave. Although Su Zhanze wasn’t visible, he was likely there. Yet, she shook her head and said, “Better not.”

Lou Xuancheng had nothing to say upon hearing this, not privy to the details of their relationship. As an elder, he preferred not to interfere, and simply said, “Alright then, come back with us. You’ve been away from Demon Palace City for a while. You should go back and see your stepmother.”

Su Zhanze spotted Guo Yuqing, but she deliberately avoided his gaze. He looked somewhat embarrassed, knowing that Qing’er was privy to everything that had happened. Yesterday’s incident with Xiong Shuobo made her aware of the truth, and although she didn’t speak out at the time, it still offered him some consolation. However, being acutely aware of his own shortcomings, he felt particularly ashamed.

Elder Xi Feng found Longhun.

Longhun asked, “Have they found Meng Xiuluo?”

The information on Meng Xiuluo stopped at Slaughter Island. Zang Di from Slaughter Island captured members of the Dragon Slaying Clan, and later, with Meng Xiuluo’s efforts and cooperation from the Demon Clan, they rescued those captured and escaped from Slaughter Island. Afterwards, there was a battle near the Dark Sea Territory, and what happened next remained a mystery.

Longhun was eager to know whether Meng Xiuluo was dead or alive. Without the help of Meng Xiuluo and the others, he would definitely not have been able to escape Su Zhanze’s encirclement that night. Meng Xiuluo had saved their lives, so of course, he was deeply concerned about Meng Xiuluo’s fate. Yet time passed, and there was no further news of Meng Xiuluo.

After sending people into Slaughter Island and the nearby Dark Sea Territory in secret for an entire month without any clues, Elder Xi Feng unwillingly shook his head to Longhun’s question, appearing somewhat ashamed.

Longhun roared, “Damn that Zang Di! Once I get back, I’ll see how I’ll wipe them out.” He already had an inkling of what had happened. His spies learned that Zang Di informed Ling Li after capturing Meng Xiuluo’s stranded subordinates. Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuluo managed to rescue them with the Demon Clan’s help before Ling Li could arrive. In the ensuing chaos involving the Wolf King’s Ring, although Meng Xiuluo escaped, he encountered Ling Li and ended up with an uncertain fate. Of course, Longhun loathed Zang Di, believing him to be the cause of it all, and felt compelled to avenge Meng Xiuluo and the others.

Mo Ku commented, “That Zang Di probably reckoned we’d be no match for Ling Li and Su Zhanze. Last time, after we aided the Demon Clan, they bore a grudge, so they’ve decided to side with Ling Li.”

With a strong feeling that Meng Xiuluo and his group might be dead, Longhun said, “So they sided with Ling Li, did they? I think he’s just begging to be killed. No matter if I’m a match for Su Zhanze in the future, when I return to the One Hundred and Eight Islands, I’ll exterminate Zang Di and his ilk first.” As he spoke, his teeth were clenched with rage. Meng Xiuluo saved him, and if Meng Xiuluo had died because of Zang Di, how could he not seek vengeance?

Elder Xi Feng suggested, “I’ll make another attempt to search.”

Longhun shook his head and said, “Stop looking. If she could be found, we would have found her by now. If Meng Xiuluo is still alive, then she is alive. If you don’t look for her, she will come looking for us.” Then he added, “Ling Li, huh? I want to see how much longer he can be arrogant.”

“Without Su Zhanze, Ling Li wouldn’t dare to oppose us,” Mo Ku said.

Longhun looked at Mo Ku and asked, “How are those bumpkins from the Immortal and Demon Realms doing now?”

Mo Ku replied, “According to the information Ren Haotian got, Lou Xuancheng has become their new Alliance Leader and is hurrying with preparations. It seems they realize they can’t find us and that we will seek revenge on them sooner or later. They are making their final preparations.”

“What? The Alliance Leader isn’t the masked one?”

Mo Ku hurriedly explained what happened during the Immortal and Demon Realms’ alliance conference.

Realizing the situation, Longhun laughed and said, “So Su Zhanze’s scandal has been exposed.”

“Yes, but it was quickly suppressed by Lou Xuancheng. The issue didn’t escalate, and they didn’t continue to investigate whether Su Zhanze was the conspirator or not.”

Longhun sneered, “He needs Su Zhanze, who possesses the Dragon Slayer Sword, to deal with me, so he doesn’t want to discuss this now. Without Su Zhanze’s help, the Immortal and Demon Realms are no match for us.”

“Exactly, Chief is right. Without Su Zhanze and the Dragon Slayer Sword, they can’t contend with the Sacred Spirit Stone,” Mo Ku affirmed.

“Even with the Dragon Slayer Sword, they still can’t contend with the Sacred Spirit Stone,” Longhun said confidently.

“Su Zhanze has already begun secluded cultivation, presumably to prepare for the confrontation with the Island Master.”

“That narrow-minded idiot, even if he goes into seclusion, he won’t make any progress. He’s already at his wit’s end over a woman, how could he possibly research profound martial arts!” Longhun sneered, then asked, “Any news of my brother?” He was still somewhat afraid of Ye Chen, not knowing if he was his nemesis. With him around, his own luck seemed to start turning bad.

Elder Xi Feng said, “If Meng Xiuluo is still alive, he must have left Slaughter Island with her. Otherwise, those people from Zang Di and the Scorpion Witch would have found him by now.”

“It’s a real shame, to miss out on such an opponent as my brother. Otherwise, I would have liked to take the Sacred Spirit Stone and have a proper matchup against him to see who is more powerful, the Mad Wolf or the Giant Beast,” Longhun said, caressing the Sacred Spirit Stone on the table.

“The power of the Wolf King’s Ring is definitely not a match for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Let’s make thorough preparations. I’m going to take over the one hundred and eight islands first.” He calculated that he would be successful in just half a month.

“At one command, our people can immediately gather,” Elder Xi Feng said.

“Good, I’ll go out and deal with Zang Di of Slaughter Island first. He thinks he’s so good at martial arts; I want to see just how powerful he can be. Don’t let that guy escape,” Longhun said. “After dealing with him, I’ll take care of Ling Li, and then the Immortal and Demon Realms.”

Not wanting to be careless, Longhun ordered, “Have Ren Haotian keep a close watch on them, see if they are planning to join forces with the people from the thirty-six islands.”

“Don’t worry, there are no signs of that happening yet,” said Mo Ku.

“Once I’ve dealt with the one hundred and eight islands and secured my rear, I’ll go collect the others one by one.” He wasn’t going to take risks; he had to keep a way out, as nothing guaranteed certain victory. Didn’t he almost die at the hands of Su Zhanze last time? So he needed to secure his position, even though he was full of confidence and firmly believed that Su Zhanze wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything significant.

“A divided Immortal and Demon Realms will definitely not be our match. We might be able to stir them up a bit, maybe even cause them to splinter on their own.”

“There’s no need for that. I’m showing my strength when I deal with them, when have I ever needed to stoop to sneaky tactics?”

“That’s true. We’ve survived through worse before, and now there’s no need to be afraid of them,” Mo Ku said.

“Hmm, I’ve never been afraid of them,” Su Zhanze wanted to show them the power akin to Pangu creating the world, to really open the eyes of those fools.

After more than a month, he had basically reached the limit, an incomparable improvement from a month before.

“Let’s get the ships ready and prepare to take over the one hundred and eight islands first.”

“Yes, let’s take over the one hundred and eight islands first.” Longhun was almost impatient to begin.
