Chapter 1398 - 1398 1384 A Ray of Hope

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1384: A Ray of Hope Chapter 1398: Chapter 1384: A Ray of Hope “If he didn’t have this possibility, the Immortal Demon Realm wouldn’t have accepted the battle,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Guo Yuyun nodded, still pondering the words Ye Chen had spoken.

“Can we make it there in time?” she knew that the Red Demonic Spirit and his people had their own ship.

“Even if we flew, we couldn’t fly that fast.”

“That’s true.”

“Even if we rushed over, with Ye Chen in his current state, he might not be able to help. We still don’t know how powerful the Sacred Spirit Stone is.”

“Then we can only see if Su Zhanze is a match for Longhun.”

“Based on the current situation, that’s all we can hope for. I estimate that the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Immortal Demon Realm have similar numbers of people.”

“In other words, their victory or defeat will depend on the showdown between Su Zhanze and Longhun.”

“That’s essentially what I’m saying,” Red Demonic Spirit replied.

“Do the people of the Thirty-Six Islands have no thoughts of rushing over for revenge?”

“Longhun is very cunning. He sent out the Battle Letter to set the date of the duel as early as possible. His motive is very clear, to prevent the people of the Thirty-Six Islands from being able to arrive in time.”

Guo Yuyun asked with confusion, “Then why must the Immortal Demon Realm engage in battle? Why not wait for the people from the Thirty-Six Islands?”

“I think part of the reason is that Su Zhanze is very confident, another part is to maintain morale, and there’s also an element of showing defiance.”

“Showing defiance?” Guo Yuyun asked, not quite understanding.

“Consider this,” explained the Red Demonic Spirit, “the Dragon Slaying Clan has issued a Battle Letter. If they don’t respond to the challenge, it means they are afraid and intimidated by the Dragon Slaying Clan, which would be disadvantageous for them. As far as I know, when it was time to choose the Alliance Leader, they were very divided. At that time, Xiong Shuobo pointed out Su Zhanze’s involvement in the affairs of Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei. In any case, I know that the Immortal Demon Realm is not that united; they have only just managed to form an alliance.”

Guo Yuyun listened without speaking.

The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “In my opinion, if Su Zhanze truly has a chance at defeating Longhun, it would indeed be a viable option to engage in battle with the Dragon Slaying Clan. The longer the delay, the worse it is for the divided Immortal Demon Realm. It’s better to be decisive and take advantage of the alliance to battle the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Guo Yuyun nodded unconsciously.

“I hope they’re really prepared,” the Red Demonic Spirit commented.

Guo Yuyun fell silent, not knowing what else she could say.

“Don’t worry yourself too much; it’s too much for one to handle,” the Red Demonic Spirit continued. “I’m just glad you’re both okay.”

“Hmm,” Guo Yuyun quieted down and drank her tea in big gulps, seemingly at a loss for words.

“With Ye Chen in such a state, we all thought you two were dead,” the Red Demonic Spirit went on. “Lou Xuancheng has written letters, and I guess he especially hopes that Ye Chen isn’t dead. The last time, it was Ye Chen who helped them defeat Longhun. But now, writing letters and sending messages by pigeon to inform him that Ye Chen is still alive is probably too late; they have already accepted the battle.”

Guo Yuyun didn’t speak and continued to drink her tea.

“Ah, all we can do now is see whether Su Zhanze is more formidable or Longhun is. We can’t help now.”

The door above creaked open, and Guo Yuyun, knowing the check was likely complete, hurried over.

She heard Ye Chen ask, “Is there any hope for me?”

“Your personality is going to change soon,” Yang Tao’er put away the Silver Needles. After examining him, she had a rough idea of how serious his Magic Power was. Only by knowing how severely the Magic Power was entangled with him could she assess whether there was hope.

“That can’t be right. I feel pretty normal. How could my personality change?”

“Oh? Then haven’t you found yourself lying more often recently?”

“Those were just white lies.”

“You feel halfway drunk without having drunk any alcohol.”

“Now that you mention it, there is a bit of that feeling, as though life has lost its meaning.”

“Do you have any intense physical needs, for instance, when you are with Guo Yuyun?”

“No, I don’t.”

“That’s what I thought, which means my assessment is correct.”

“What are you joking about? I didn’t want her to become a widow with a child. Do you think I don’t know what a personality change is? Someone with a changed personality lacks emotion, the understanding of others, and trust. But I am emotional, understanding, and I certainly don’t lack trust.”

Just then, Guo Yuyun walked in and said coldly, “Really? I don’t quite feel that way, as you describe.”

Ye Chen had already put on his clothes and turned around.

Guo Yuyun changed the subject and asked, “Is there a way to help?”

“There are two methods, though not guaranteed to succeed. We won’t know until we try,” Yang Tao’er replied.

“Say it quickly.”

“The first method is to find someone and transfer the Magic Power into their body, with a success rate of 20 percent,”

Ye Chen’s eyes widened as he asked, “What will happen to the person who has the Magic Power transferred to them?”

“There’s no saving them.”

“No, that’s murder, I won’t do such a thing.”

“I know you’re too good a person to do that, so there’s only the second method left: go to Dragonfly Mountain, find my foster father, and try to transfer the Magic Power from your body into a monster.”

“This method sounds good, driving a monster into demonic frenzy—quite a clever idea,” Ye Chen said excitedly.

Yang Tao’er said coldly, “But the union between man and beast is much more complicated than between man and man. The Magic Power will definitely resist fiercely, so the chances of success are very slim. I can’t guarantee it myself, only my foster father can handle it, and it’ll take quite a bit of time, possibly half a year, or even a year.”

“That long? But I have something to do now and can’t possibly go to Dragonfly Mountain.”

“I know, you need to deal with Longhun. But I have to make it clear to you that your condition is already very serious, and you may be beyond even the gods’ help soon. Haven’t you noticed that it’s becoming more and more difficult for you to control the Magic Power?”

“Don’t scare me. Before Dragonfly Mountain, you said I had only a few days to live, yet haven’t I managed to make it to today?”

“That’s because you’ve been following my advice, treating yourself with acupuncture, and also getting help from the masters of the Sacred Spirit Sect. You’ve barely survived until now. Haven’t you noticed that your acupuncture is having less and less effect on the Magic Power?”

Ye Chen fell silent, conceding the point.

“As for the first method, I know you could never accept it, how could you ever agree to kill someone.”

Guo Yuyun picked up a draft from the desk and asked, “Is this your research result?”

Yang Tao’er nodded, “Yes, there are two options: transferring Magic Power to another person’s body, and to a monster’s. Transferring from person to person is relatively simple; I can do it. But transferring to a monster, I can’t manage it; we’ll have to figure it out on Dragonfly Mountain. When transferring Magic Power, it will vehemently resist; it won’t accept easily, so it’s not a hundred percent guaranteed.”

Guo Yuyun began to read through the two drafts intently.

Yang Tao’er warned, “Your condition is very dangerous. As time passes, it’s going to get worse and the chances of success will decrease. Moreover, you are very likely to go straight into demonic frenzy, and by that time, even if I were a real deity, I couldn’t save you. I suggest you consider using the magic as soon as possible.”

“But I still can’t cast the magic now,” Ye Chen murmured.

Yang Tao’er looked at him and sneered, “You still have to see if Longhun can be defeated by Su Zhanze. If Longhun wins, you’ll need to figure out how to help the Sacred Demon Domain.”

Guo Yuyun looked seriously and asked, “Between the two methods, which one has a higher success rate?”

“Of course, transferring to another person has a higher success rate because the connection between people is easier than with a monster.”

“Are you sure you can manage the transfer between people?”

“I’m very confident about that.”

Ye Chen replied with a wry smile, “You’re really joking. How could I possibly harm someone else for my own sake?”

Without responding to him, Guo Yu Yun asked, “Does the person-to-person transfer not take that long, then?”

“Of course, forcing Magic Power onto a monster, it will be particularly unwilling. It will fight desperately, preferring to control a human, not a monster.”

“Could it be successful within a few days?” Guo Yuyun asked curiously.

“It’s possible.”

Watching Guo Yuyun’s serious demeanor, Ye Chen laughed, “Miss, stop joking. We can’t hurt others.”

“What if we find someone who deserves to die?”

Yang Tao’er added, “That’s right, you’re too rigid. We can totally choose someone utterly evil, then use them to cast the spell. Adaptability is key.”

Guo Yuyun said, “Yes, we could start looking for someone utterly evil right now.”

“Of course, the sooner we cast the spell the better.”

Guo Yuyun seemed ready to take action.

The Red Demonic Spirit interjected, “I know there’s a flower-picking thief on the island who has harmed countless young women. He has been caught and is in the dungeon, awaiting beheading in three days. I can go to the prison and break him out right now.”

Ye Chen said, “No, that won’t work.”

“What’s wrong with that? He’s going to be beheaded anyway. After the transfer of Magic Power, I’ll kill the man so he can’t do any more harm,” argued Guo Yuyun. “We should have a few days on the ship, just enough time to cast the spell.”

“That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that I can’t cast the spell right now,” Ye Chen said, accepting her idea but knowing it wasn’t the right time.

Yang Tao’er explained, “He still wants to use the Magic Power to deal with Longhun, in case Su Zhanze is defeated.”

Ye Chen remained silent.

Guo Yuyun looked over, and the Red Demonic Spirit understood too, saying, “If Su Zhanze is defeated, then indeed, who will deal with Longhun? We can wait and see.”

Guo Yuyun was solely focused on Ye Chen’s recovery.

Ye Chen said, “Rather, try to find a way to help me control the Magic Power, I might need to use it.”
