Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1419 - 1419 1405 Pretending

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1405: Pretending Chapter 1419: Chapter 1405: Pretending Yang Tao’er’s disdainful expression made it clear, she did not like Su Zhanze at all.

Ye Chen said, “You cannot afford to drop the ball here, the faster you heal Su Zhanze, the quicker we can devise a strategy to battle the Dragon Slaying Clan. Think about it, think about how important you really are, no negligence can be allowed.”

Yang Tao’er was drinking water.

Ye Chen continued, “I also do not wish to entangle with Su Zhanze, I knew him before all of you, he has always been this way since childhood, always has, that’s just who he is, quick to anger, acting without considering the consequences, that’s his way of doing things. I know him, which is why I kept Qing’er as far away as possible, but Qing’er…”

Guo Yuyun seemed to sense reminiscence and asked, “What happened to my sister then?”

Ye Chen didn’t intend to conceal it and went on, “But Qing’er liked me, I told her that this would cause trouble, but she wouldn’t believe it and insisted on entangling with me.”

Guo Yuyun scoffed and said, “Really? Is that so?”

“Of course it is, otherwise how could what happened later have occurred.”

“Don’t think just because I wasn’t there at the scene, I don’t know what happened. My sister might have liked you then, but you willingly severed ties with her completely, disentangling without a second thought. Didn’t you ever think about seeking a conversation with my sister?”

That girl was truly formidable; not having been in Immortal City, how did she come to know all this?

He hastened to say, “Hey, why bring up all that now?”

“No more excuses, so you admit it! My sister was quite the catch, and you thought you could cover for yourself, truly severing ties with her.”

“Let’s not talk about this, what’s the point? It was all in the past when we were children.” Ye Chen worried that continuing the conversation would lead to endless troubles.

“Nothing more to say, huh? Speaking as if you were the most innocent person in the world, as if everything is someone else’s fault. If you hadn’t messed with my sister, none of this would have happened. If you had no designs on my sister, it was she who restored your temporary sanity in Bell and Drum City!”

Ye Chen was left speechless and quickly stood up, saying, “We’ve already rested for about two hours, it’s time to go. If we don’t leave now, by the time it gets dark, we won’t be able to reach the next rendezvous point.”

“Hold on, we haven’t finished talking.”

Ye Chen, not daring to look back, said, “Put on your shoes, grab your things, I’ll wait for you at the horse car.”

Yang Tao’er saw Ye Chen running off quite fast and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Guo Yuyun said, “This guy is just playing dumb, trying to act like the most innocent person in the world.”

“Right, only you could see through him.” Yang Tao’er giggled.

“He thinks just because I wasn’t in Immortal City, I wouldn’t know anything.”

“Seems like you’ve liked him since you were very young. Otherwise, why would you pay such close attention to him when you were so little?”

Guo Yuyun, unwilling to admit it, said, “That might not necessarily be the case. It’s because he saved my life, I knew he had stayed in Immortal City, so I inquired about what happened to them there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wasted so much thought.”

“Such stubborn lips,” Yang Tao’er murmured.

Guo Yuyun put on her shoes, by which time the sun had already shifted westward.

Yang Tao’er said, “Honestly, I do like this place quite a bit, it’s just too remote.”

At dusk, they finally arrived, and after nightfall, they met up with Ouyang Yue and the others.

No news of the Evil Spirit, it was as if it had disappeared entirely, leaving them to wonder what tricks Longhun was playing. Yet they had to decide by tomorrow whether or not to rescue Su Zhanze and the others, a decision that had to be made tonight.

By now it was midnight, and under the leadership of Ouyang Yue and Li Mo, aside from Lou Xuanhai and his group, everyone with a say had arrived.

Wan Liyun asked, “Still no news of the Evil Spirit?”

Li Mo shook his head and said, “No, it’s strange indeed, I have no idea what Longhun is up to.”

Ye Chen asked, “Then have you seen Baili He?”

Li Mo, having observed them all day, said, “Ah, I really haven’t seen Baili He either.”

“Are you sure you haven’t seen Baili He?” Ye Chen asked again.

“I’m certain, I’ve been observing all day today. If he were really inside, I would have definitely spotted him.”

Wan Liyun murmured, “Could it be that something has happened to them, so they were unable to show up?”

Li Mo pondered for a moment and replied, “That’s very possible.”

Ouyang Yue said, “But it might also be a conspiracy. You all know that Longhun likes to engage in schemes and tricks.”

The Black Demonic Spirit laughed and said, “I think what you said is correct. It is very likely a conspiracy with a trap set inside. But the problem is, even if you know about the trap, you still have to save them, because you have no choice. If you don’t save them, let alone whether they can hold out until the day after tomorrow, given the current situation, I estimate that by the day after tomorrow, Longhun will have broken their Bagua Array. At that time, they can leave some people to entangle us and go on a killing spree, wiping out everyone inside the encirclement.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Liyun said, “So, we basically have no choice. Whether it’s a trap or not, we must find a way to rescue them tomorrow. If we wait until the day after tomorrow, accidents are very likely to occur, aren’t they?”

Li Mo answered, “Yes. They have almost nothing left in terms of food and water, at most for another day. They’re all very scared, terrified. If the Bagua Array is broken, they will collapse instantly. If Longhun sends some of its spare forces to entangle us, we will be powerless.”

“That being the case, there’s nothing more to discuss. Tomorrow we will go all out to rescue them,” Wan Liyun stated bluntly.

Ye Chen looked intently at the map, completely immersed in his thoughts.

The Black Demonic Spirit, gnawing on grilled meat, said, “The problem isn’t about going all out to rescue them. It’s about what we should do if it’s a trap. Although we haven’t detected the Evil Spirit and Baili He, you can’t guarantee that they aren’t just hiding and will suddenly appear. What should we do if the Evil Spirit shows up? You must consider all this clearly so that you won’t end up saying you hadn’t thought things through. You should always think from the worst-case scenario. If such a situation really arises, we won’t be unprepared.”

Wan Liyun nodded slightly.

Guo Yuyun stepped forward and said, “If the Evil Spirit really appears, then leave it to me and Yang Tao’er to handle.”

All eyes turned to Guo Yuyun and Yang Tao’er. They had all witnessed the Evil Spirit’s power and knew how formidable it was. Almost no one dared to claim they could handle the Evil Spirit, yet these two girls boldly declared they would tackle it, seemingly unaware of their own limitations.

Guo Yuyun, knowing they were skeptical about her and Yang Tao’er, smiled and said, “We are aware of the Evil Spirit’s potency and do not think we can control or defeat it. However, we can disrupt its plans. Despite the Evil Spirit’s strength, it is not like the Moon Beast which is controlled by Baili He. We both have done some research on controlling Giant Beasts. If the Evil Spirit does appear tomorrow, we will try to influence Baili He and ensure he cannot control the Evil Spirit to interfere with our rescue of the people from the Immortal City. Yang Tao’er and I just need to buy one ‘two hours’, and I don’t think there will be a problem.”

Wan Liyun still looked doubtful and asked, “Can it really be successful?”

Guo Yuyun confidently responded, “It should be. To affect them for ‘two hours’, prevent the Evil Spirit from causing chaos, and to secure enough time for you all. I think it’s possible. Right now, we don’t have a better plan, and we must rescue them tomorrow. As Li Mo said, we cannot wait any longer. If they really manage to break the Bagua Array and steal the Dragon Slayer Sword, then no one will be a match for the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Wan Liyun nodded again.

Ouyang Yue looked at Guo Yuyun and Yang Tao’er and asked, “Are you two really certain?”

Yang Tao’er smiled and said, “We have to try even if we’re not certain. We have no time left. Tomorrow, we must find a way to rescue them.”

“Don’t worry. ‘Two hours’ should be enough. Just focus on rescuing the people and be careful not to get trapped inside the encirclement,” said Guo Yuyun.

Seeing that Ye Chen had been silent all along, Ouyang Yue called out to him, “Ye Chen, say something. Why haven’t you spoken a word?”

Ever since noon, when Guo Yuyun and Yang Tao’er said they would handle the Evil Spirit, he had been planning on that. So he had been silent, raising his head as if he were distracted.

Guo Yuyun said, “It will definitely work. There’s no need to ask him.”

Ye Chen chuckled and asked Li Mo, “They haven’t discovered the people from the Immortal City, have they?”

“They shouldn’t have,” Li Mo replied.

“Over five hundred people, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Where are they?”

Li Mo quickly marked a spot on the map.

Ye Chen pointed at the map and said, “Red Demonic Spirit, tell Lou Xuanhai to have his people wait here. We’ll start, and they should wait for our signal. We will assist them in rescuing those trapped inside.”

The Red Demonic Spirit nodded slightly and said, “That’s a good idea. If the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan don’t know they’re here, their arrival will catch them off guard. As long as we can firmly engage Longhun’s people…”

This was exactly what Ye Chen wanted; he intended to do just that.

Wan Liyun spoke up, “You haven’t addressed the potential trap yet. What if the Evil Spirit shows up? What will we do then?”

Ye Chen replied, “Didn’t the crazy girl just say? If the Evil Spirit appears at that time, those two will try to entangle it. Let’s be cautious not to fall into the trap, to fight quickly and decisively without delay, and to find a way to help Lou Xuanhai and his people rescue those from the Immortal City. If there are any changes, we’ll adjust accordingly.”
