Chapter 1396 - 1396 1382 Worry

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1382: Worry Chapter 1396: Chapter 1382: Worry Guo Yuyun listened and said, “That means, Su Zhanze is very likely no match for Longhun.”

“Not necessarily. Su Zhanze is still quite formidable. Aside from occasionally acting without thinking, he does have some strengths. Last time, it was only by luck that I managed to win against him, and even so, it was with great difficulty.”

“That sounds like you haven’t said anything at all.”

“Hey, you want me to tell you now who will win? Of course, I don’t know that. If I could know right now, what would be the point of their fighting? Just analyze who will lose and who will win while they’re in battle, and that would settle it.”

Guo Yuyun started to worry.

“But Longhun is very clever. I worry that Su Zhanze is no match for him, at least in terms of keeping his composure. Longhun has the advantage. He won’t be as impulsive as Su Zhanze, who is very likely to suffer for it.” Ye Chen then thought of his own situation, saying, “Look, when I was below Demon Palace City, didn’t I defeat Longhun, thinking everything was set in stone? Yet still, the incident at Bell and Drum City happened. I nearly succumbed to demonic possession and almost killed you. So Longhun is not to be underestimated. Even though I defeated him, he still managed to make me end up like this.”

After hearing this, Guo Yuyun felt a chill in her heart. That’s right, Longhun was full of cunning tricks; how could the impulsive Su Zhanze possibly be a match for Longhun?

“But Su Zhanze is also quite wicked. He has done a few astonishing things. Though I really don’t like those actions, like his schemes against Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei, this shows that he has learned quite a bit.”

“That doesn’t sound like a compliment.”

“Yes, indeed, it isn’t one. Saying a bad person is cunning and resourceful isn’t a compliment.”

“We need to hurry to Stone Gate Island,” urged Guo Yuyun, as Ye Chen’s analysis made her even more concerned that Su Zhanze truly wouldn’t be able to withstand Longhun.

“Dragging me back by flying is useless. You know what condition I’m in; I can’t use the Wolf King’s Ring’s power. Even if we go back, I wouldn’t be able to help. So no matter how much you hop around like a mother monkey, it’s pointless,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun worried about what would happen if the Demon Domain were defeated. The Demon Palace City might be destroyed, and she couldn’t bear to see that happen.

“It really seems dicey. Su Zhanze’s weaknesses are too obvious, and Longhun is surely well aware of them.”

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Guo Yuyun’s heart felt even more panicked, as if she had already seen Su Zhanze defeated, corpses strewn across the mountains, hanging there as she exclaimed, “Stop talking.”

“Don’t walk so fast. That Barbarian fellow might still be looking for us. Haven’t you heard? Right now, the one hundred and eight islands are the territory of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Before finishing, a group of people appeared at the dock ahead, blocking the entrance and exit as if they were inspecting something.

They quickly hid in the corner, and Ye Chen murmured, “Could these people be looking for us?”

“If not for us, who else would they be looking for?” Guo Yuyun retorted.

Indeed, their presence seemed too coincidental to be merely proactive.

“It seems they don’t want to let us leave,” Guo Yuyun said.

“As if they want to hunt us down.”

“Do you know which ship it is?” Guo Yuyun asked.

During their stay, they had acquired tickets for a ship to Stone Gate Island.

“I know which ship it is, but with so many vessels crowded together, how can we reach that black ship? Even if we manage to board it, we might still get caught. They are searching the ships, didn’t you see? They surely know we might try to return to the Central Plains,” Ye Chen said.

“I really didn’t expect that damned Barbarian to be so obsessively resolute,” Guo Yuyun angrily said.

“Indeed, quite resolute.”

“They don’t have many people. However, if we don’t leave this place quickly, the situation may become extremely complicated,” Guo Yuyun said.

“Seems your mind isn’t that dull.”

“We need to distract them so we can get on the ship,” Guo Yuyun said.

“Even if we get on the ship, they might still find us.”

“But not necessarily. If the ship is about to leave, we’ll board then.”

“That could be a good plan.” Ye Chen glanced around and said, “I really didn’t expect to get involved with such a character.”

“If you hadn’t tangled with the flounder, would he have clung to you so doggedly?”

“I didn’t tangle with the flounder, did I?”

“You’re still arguing,” Guo Yuyun said irritably.

Ye Chen gave a forced smile.

“You draw them off, and I’ll board the ship first. You can get away from them, can’t you?” Guo Yuyun asked.

Ye Chen looked behind him, where a busy street lay, and replied, “I should be able to.”

“You wouldn’t just abandon me and go looking for the flounder, would you?”

“Girl, there’s no way the flounder would fancy me.”

“You wish she would fancy you,” Guo Yuyun said.

“How could I? How could I allow such a thing to happen? My heart belongs to you only. You know that.”

“Stop with the sweet talk,” Guo Yuyun chided.

In half an hour, the ship was set to depart.

“If you dare to leave me behind, I’ll never let you off the hook,” Guo Yuyun said.

“I know, you’ve said that a few times already. We’re destined to be entangled endlessly,” Ye Chen replied.

Barbarian said to his men, “We absolutely cannot let the cheap goods escape.”

The short one said, “He won’t make it back in time. Once he returns to the Central Plains, it will all be over.”

What Barbarian cared about wasn’t that. The cheap goods had actually dared to detain Meng Xiuluo for three days. How could they pretend nothing happened? Of course, he had gone behind Meng Xiuluo’s back to block off this pier, and then he said, “Our reinforcements will be here by tomorrow, and by then that kid won’t be able to sprout wings and fly away.” He also knew that the one hundred and eight islands had fallen back into the hands of the Dragon Slaying Clan. He had sent a distress signal, asking for their help. Whether the cheap goods could leave or not, that would be decided tonight.

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely catch that cheap goods. That kid has no way out,” the short one said.

Just as they were talking, Ye Chen had already appeared about four or five zhang away from them. Barbarian saw them, and Ye Chen stopped as well, hearing someone shout, “Catch him for me!”

Showcasing panic, Ye Chen turned and ran into the midst of the crowd. Barbarian, without a second thought, led about thirty-some people in hot pursuit.

Ye Chen had already scoped out the place and prepared how to shake them off.

Luring them into the crowd was like throwing fish into the sea, but he wasn’t in any rush just yet. He decided to lead these fellows on a merry chase first.

Guo Yuyun quickly took the chance to locate the first ship and boarded the vessel bound for Stone Gate Island, waiting for that monkey to come aboard.

She really did worry that the monkey would simply leave her behind and make her leave alone.

It was rather dark around her, but to make money, many ships operated day and night; as long as one had enough cash, it was all good.

After leading the group on a wild goose chase, Ye Chen quickly headed for the dock.

Someone on the ship was shouting, “Over here.”

Ye Chen saw it and swiftly boarded the same ship.

He had finally shaken off the group of men.

By the time Barbarian realized what was happening, several ships had already set sail, and they were not sure if any of those vessels contained the person they sought to capture.

Finally, he had shaken off those guys.

“Were you worried? You must have been hesitating about whether I’d really leave you behind,” said Ye Chen, taking out a bundle wrapped in paper from his bosom. “Roast chicken, our midnight snack.”

“You actually had the mood to bother with this.”

“You should trust my abilities. A few little lackeys are nothing for me to shake off,” he said while opening the bag.

Guo Yuyun still looked back worriedly and said, “They won’t give up on us so easily, will they?” She was concerned that those behind might still catch up to them.

Ye Chen confidently said, “They shouldn’t.”

“How do you know?”

“Think about it. They have, what, around a hundred people? And just a moment ago, at least five or six ships left the port. First of all, there’s no way he can guess which ship we’re on. If a hundred people split up to chase after us, that’s only about twenty per boat. We can totally handle that.”

Guo Yuyun nodded slightly.

Ye Chen continued, “The important thing is, Barbarian must be doing this behind Meng Xiuluo’s back. Meng Xiuluo definitely doesn’t know, so it’s unlikely for him to make a big move. What’s crucial is, he still has no idea we’re on a ship heading out to sea.”

It then dawned on Guo Yuyun that she hadn’t seen Meng Xiuluo at all. It seemed that this was all Barbarian’s doing behind Meng Xiuluo’s back.

“Rest assured, just have a good sleep. We will arrive at Stone Gate Island by tomorrow.” Looking at the dark night sky, she still felt a bit anxious. If Su Zhanze had truly been defeated, what should be done next?

It seemed this was something he must consider.

Hoping they could hold out until he returned, Ye Chen’s only wish was for that to be the case.

“What are you thinking about?” Guo Yuyun again saw that serious look on his face.

“Nothing,” he replied.

“How could that be? You must have started worrying about the affairs of the Immortal Demon Realm,” she surmised.

Ye Chen passed her the water flask.

Taking a couple of sips, Guo Yuyun said, “Let’s get back to Central Plains first.”

Having shaken off the band from the Dragon Slaying Clan, everything still seemed to be going smoothly. The next day, they arrived at Stone Gate Island, which truly was a large island. It took them a great deal of effort to find out that two ships were leaving tomorrow.

They had no choice but to stay another night on Stone Gate Island.

It was a situation of last resort.

Another day went by. How could people not get anxious?

All around was enveloped in darkness.

Guo Yuyun led Ye Chen around, but he wasn’t in the mood. How could he be, with the worries about Central Plains on his mind?

He had intended to take a break and relax, but seeing her mood, they ended up wandering aimlessly on the streets instead.

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s eyes were caught by something.
