Chapter 1407 - 1407 1393 Utmost Urgency

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1393: Utmost Urgency Chapter 1407: Chapter 1393: Utmost Urgency Ye Chen inquired before he could confirm the name of the town.

“Damn it, Li Mo,” he said, “you promised it would be quick, but here we are still walking. I thought we’d end up sleeping in the wilderness by now. His word is forever unreliable. Only a fool would believe when he says ‘we’ll arrive soon’.”

“Well, it was you who took the wrong path, insisting it was interesting. If not for you, we wouldn’t have taken such a long detour and almost gotten lost. Would we only be able to arrive now?” Yang Tao’er said.

“But you didn’t object at that time, did you?”

“Still trying to scare us, always thinking about nothing serious.”

Guo Yuyun’s mind was consumed with the need to confirm that Longhun was defeated, so she could then focus wholeheartedly on helping Ye Chen. These days, she spared no effort in studying the materials Yang Tao’er had obtained. She had to get to the bottom of it, as it concerned whether Ye Chen could return to normal—he had to take it seriously.

In their desperation, Yang Tao’er and her godfather had discovered this method from ancient books, giving her a glimmer of hope. If it weren’t for the current situation, she would have had Yang Tao’er perform the ritual on Ye Chen already, not delaying until now.

Anxiety welled up in her as she wondered why there was still no news from the Demon Domain; it made no sense. Normally, they should have sent word already, but there had been nothing so far. Could it be that something really had happened? She worried, her imagination running wild.

They had already entered the street, and seeing Guo Yuyun looking gloomy as if her soul had left her body, Yang Tao’er nudged Yun’er and said, “Yun’er, stop worrying. Let’s go get something to eat.” She dragged Yun’er into the bustling street.

Don’t underestimate it just because it’s a small town; there’s no shortage of food.

Ye Chen called out, “Be careful not to get kidnapped by traffickers.”

“We should hurry and find the Inn where we’re supposed to meet Li Mo. We’ll buy some tasty food and join you there.”

“Don’t let anyone run away with you guys.”

“I’m so clever. Watching over Yun’er for you, how could we possibly be kidnapped?”

“Is that so? It’s because of you that I’m worried about being kidnapped. If it were just her, I wouldn’t be so concerned.”

After hearing such words, Yang Tao’er glared at Ye Chen. He quickly found out the location of the Inn; at the end of the crossroads, it was quite an obvious spot.

Yang Tao’er must have been really hungry as she called out, “Let’s quickly reserve a table. We’ll be back once we’ve bought stuff.”

“Remember the place, okay? Don’t drool over every decent-looking man you see, be a little composed.”

“You’re the one who should be told not to drool over every girl you meet,” Yang Tao’er kicked Ye Chen hard.

Ye Chen left.

Yang Tao’er said, “Girl, why do you seem like your soul has left your body? Don’t be such a killjoy, okay?”

“My eyelids have been twitching all day; I have a feeling something big is going to happen.”

“Heh, you still believe that?”

“Really, it makes no sense. If everything were going smoothly, they should have received our message and responded by now.”

“Worrying now is pointless, and getting anxious won’t help. Maybe after we meet Li Mo in a bit, we’ll find out what’s happening. Don’t worry.”

Yang Tao’er dragged Guo Yuyun to find some good food.

“Maybe something really has gone wrong.”

“The sky isn’t falling. If something really happened, worrying is useless,” Yang Tao’er said, “Let’s fill our stomachs first.”

There’s plenty to eat, indeed.

Ye Chen had found a place and ordered a lot of delicious food.

It wasn’t long before he saw Li Mo, with Red Demonic Spirit and a few subordinates in tow.

Ye Chen called out, “Over here.”

Li Mo and Red Demonic Spirit approached. But Yun’er and the others were nowhere to be seen. He muttered, “Where are those two girls?”

“They are buying food on the street,” said Ye Chen, unable to hide his eagerness as he asked, “What’s the situation?”

“The Demon Domain has been defeated,” replied Li Mo.

Ye Chen tensed up instantly and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Li Mo answered, “Lou Xuancheng is dead.”

“What!” Ye Chen couldn’t believe his ears. Lou Xuancheng was their Alliance Leader; his death indicated just how serious the situation had become.

When Li Mo said that Lou Xuancheng had died, Yun’er, who had just walked in, heard it, and the food she was holding instantly slipped to the ground.

Ye Chen called out, “Explain more clearly.”

Yun’er hopped over and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Ye Chen poured a cup of tea for both Li Mo and the Red Demonic Spirit.

The Red Demonic Spirit replied, “People from the Dragon Slaying Clan joined forces with Baili He; Baili He helped Longhun summon the Moon Beast. Su Zhanze, with his strong martial arts, didn’t expect Longhun to summon the Moon Beast. In the end, he was no match and was severely injured. After Longhun defeated Su Zhanze, Baili He also drew the Evil Spirit to the battlefield. Everything became chaotic.”

“In order to let more people retreat, stabilize the morale, and help the injured Su Zhanze withdraw, Lou Xuancheng, Guan Yi, and Song Zheng’an all chose to stay behind. Lou Xuancheng died, Song Zheng’an also died, and Guan Yi was seriously injured, practically half-dead. The losses were heavy,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“What, that’s impossible, they were prepared,” Guo Yuyun found the outcome hard to believe.

“It’s all true. However, Su Zhanze was quite lucky to escape the encirclement safely with the help of a group of Demon Palace disciples, thanks to the efforts of Lou Xuancheng and the others. Li Mo added, “But although they survived, they still couldn’t shake off the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan and could be surrounded again. They are still in great danger. Whether they can escape or not is still uncertain.”

The Red Demonic Spirit said, “I guess we didn’t expect Baili He to collaborate with Longhun and even draw the Moon Beast onto Longhun. The power of the Sacred Spirit Stone has already inspired bold imaginations; to draw the Moon Beast upon oneself is simply inconceivable.”

Ye Chen thought of Qiandu Xiang; to defeat him, he nearly went berserk and ultimately killed Nangong Yan.

The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “That’s not all – summoning the Evil Spirit and getting attacked from both sides, how could they not be defeated?”

Guo Yuyun had already burst into tears, with Yang Tao’er holding her tight.

Ye Chen asked, “Where are they now?”

Li Mo quickly laid out a map on the table and said, “At noon, we learned they were at this location, heading west. They should be about here now.”

“How many people? And how many from the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“Most of them are already dead—probably just over a thousand now, hardly an army. The Dragon Slaying Clan has about three thousand, trying to encircle them, to leave them no place to die. Fortunately, the path behind is clear, not easy to be surrounded, but with the disparity in strength and their morale destroyed, it’s unclear if they can escape,” Li Mo shook his head before adding, “Anyway, the situation is very bad.”

The Red Demonic Spirit said, “But fortunately, the Dragon Slayer Sword wasn’t stolen by Longhun. However, we must help them; otherwise, if they are exterminated and the Dragon Slayer Sword falls into Longhun’s hands, even if the people of the Thirty-Six Islands and New City Sect work together, nobody will match Longhun.”

Ye Chen fell into a brief silence.

Li Mo said, “We must save them. If we can rescue them and then join forces with Su Zhanze, we might stand a chance against Longhun. Otherwise, he will first destroy the Immortal Demon Realm, then the Thirty-Six Islands and the Wastelands. No one will be able to stand against them anymore.”

Ye Chen was silent but kept his eyes fixed on the map.

“I think, Lou Xuancheng must have known that you, Sect Leader, were still alive. So he fought to the death to protect Su Zhanze, probably hoping to join us later and settle the score with Longhun,” Li Mo said.

The Red Demonic Spirit spoke with admiration, “Lou Xuancheng really considered the bigger picture. Without his efforts, probably more would have died.”

Ye Chen gestured at the location and asked, “How long will it take to get there from here?”

Li Mo made a judgment, “According to our speed, and as they continue to push forward, fighting and retreating, their speed will definitely not be as fast as ours; in two days, we should be able to catch up.”

Ye Chen then asked, “What about Ouyang Yue and the others?”

Li Mo replied, “They can meet us tonight, then head there with us. However, those coming from the Wastelands will be too late.”

Ye Chen was very worried, yet exceptionally calm.

Li Mo further said, “It seems that to save them, we can only rely on ourselves and Ouyang Yue. Together, we also make up over a thousand people; rescuing them shouldn’t be too difficult.”

But the Red Demonic Spirit said, “That’s only if they can hold on until we arrive. They are basically in disarray, like mice fleeing for their lives, and could surrender at any moment.”

Ye Chen understood their meaning and asked, “Are Song Xizhi and the others still alive?”

“Yes, they should be alive. Although Song Zheng’an stayed behind to face death, he wouldn’t leave his son behind. He should have people protecting him and helping him escape,” said Li Mo.

“You should be able to contact them.”

“It should be possible.”

After a moment of silence, Ye Chen said, “Then quickly contact him and tell him to inform Su Zhanze that we will come to rescue them as fast as we can. Tell them not to give up no matter what.” Obviously, a meeting with Ouyang Yue still needed arrangements, but if the people from the Immortal Demon Realm knew someone was coming to help, with added confidence, they might not collapse so quickly.

Li Mo said, “I will immediately send a carrier pigeon to tell them to hold on at all costs.”

“Tell them we will definitely get there within three days.” In addition to giving them hope, they needed a concrete timeline, so they would do everything possible to stay alive.
