Chapter 1420 - 1420 1406 Breaking the Siege

Chapter 1420: Chapter 1406: Breaking the Siege Chapter 1420: Chapter 1406: Breaking the Siege At dawn, the mist had not yet dissipated, and the valley was quiet.

Some small animals had already begun to forage for food.

Longhun was waiting; he knew the people from the thirty-six islands were bound to appear today, he just didn’t know from which direction.

He needed one more day to figure out how to break through the Tortoise Shell Formation constructed using the Dragon Slayer Sword, but he was certain that the people from the thirty-six islands would definitely try to rescue those from the Demon Domain today, because, just in case, they must do so.

Yet Longhun still felt a bit unwilling, because with just one more day, he would be able to unravel Su Zhanze’s Tortoise Shell Formation. Then it would not be so easy for Su Zhanze to escape, at least not with the Dragon Slayer Sword in hand.

Mo Ku, who was following beside Longhun, muttered, “Might they launch another attack tomorrow?”

Longhun asked curiously, “Why tomorrow?”

“They’re afraid this might be a trap. The Evil Spirits haven’t shown up these past few days; aren’t they worried?”

“Then they would choose to rescue people today rather than tomorrow, because they worry we might break Su Zhanze’s Tortoise Shell Formation by then. Who knows what could happen at that time?”

“That’s true. So if we hold on today, it’s very likely that the people inside won’t be able to be rescued?”

Longhun said, “If we can hold out today, I will not let them easily take away the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Mo Ku understood Longhun’s intention and said, “Then let’s do everything we can to prevent their breakout. We frustrate them for a day; if possible, we lead them into the encirclement. If we can lure them inside, we can think of ways to slowly eliminate them.”

Longhun shook his head, finding Mo Ku quite endearing, and said, “It won’t be that easy. You think you can lure them into the encirclement and then slowly eliminate them? Things are not that simple. My brother isn’t stupid; this isn’t our first confrontation. You could almost say he knows what I’m thinking and vice versa.”

Mo Ku said, “The people from the thirty-six islands are not that numerous. We are evenly matched. They think they can rescue the encircled people with just twelve hundred men, it won’t be that simple either.”

“Right, for now, that’s the only reliable point—that they don’t have many people. It won’t be that easy for them to rescue others. Of course, we still need to find a way to see which one is disobedient, who might act rashly and drill straight into the encirclement.”

Mo Ku giggled with a grin.

On the other side, Elder Xi Feng said, “Ye Chen has collaborated with them before, tackled Qiandu Xiang together. They should trust Ye Chen and will definitely follow his command, unlike that bunch of fools from the Demon Domain.”

“Possibly,” Longhun nodded slightly.

Elder Xi Feng added, “It’s uncertain how they will attack when the time comes. Moreover, this place isn’t easy to encircle; there are too many potential points of assault.”

Longhun said, “Su Zhanze is arrogant but not dumb. To stabilize morale, he executed the disobedient Xiong Shuobo, which really played an important role. Knowing they might get encircled, to choose such an accessible spot for breakout also sheds light on this fact.”

Mo Ku said, “I think that guy only killed Xiong Shuobo to settle a personal grudge.”

“Maybe, Xiong Shuobo was really foolish, coveting his Dragon Slayer Sword. It’s no wonder if such greed would bring about his own demise,” Longhun chuckled and added, “Forget it, talking is useless. It all comes down to one thing—meet the blade with the shield, the water with earth. If we can lure them in, we will; if not, we’ll find a way to trap those within the encirclement. If we really can’t contain them and they escape, we still have another plan.”

“They won’t break out from the encirclement that easily today,” Mo Ku added. “With so many of us, we shouldn’t fear them. Let them come; without the Demonic Spirits, we can still annihilate them.”

But Longhun countered, “This is Central Plains; there might be more than just the people from the thirty-six islands.”

“What? Not just the people from the thirty-six islands? Are you suggesting there might be people from the Wastelands, too? That’s impossible. According to our information, it would take the people from the Wastelands at least another seven or eight days to arrive. They couldn’t possibly be here this soon.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. Any given sect’s main base will have some people; those people, knowing of the danger, might very well come to help.”

“But we haven’t heard about them coming, nor have we gotten such news.”

“As if they would inform you or let news out when they come. No one is that foolish.”

Just as the three men were about to turn back, Fireballs flew from both sides, like meteors from beyond the heavens, crashing into the encirclement, shattering the valley’s quiet.

Longhun said, “See, I told you they would choose today. Here they come.”

Mo Ku drew his sword and said, “I’ll meet the people from the thirty-six islands and see how they plan to rescue those inside.”

“Alright, it’s about time to stretch our limbs.”

Elder Xi Feng commanded his subordinates, “Release the beasts we’ve prepared.”

Fireballs fell like rain, exploding in the woods, closely followed by the sight of Winged Dragons, swarming towards them as pairs.

Ye Chen once again cautioned the people of the thirty-six islands, telling them not to be so eager for revenge, and certainly not to rush into the encirclement. He knew that both Wan Liyun and Ouyang Yue wanted to avenge Shao Hengjiang, but he understood that today was not a good opportunity for revenge. It would be great just to rescue the people.

Ouyang Yue murmured, “You’re really overprotective. Don’t worry, I understand the importance of things and won’t act recklessly.”

“That’s good. I also want to meet Longhun and see if the Sacred Spirit Stone and the Moon Beast really work together as magically as they say.”

“Be careful not to get killed and scamper back here with your tail between your legs.”

“Such a disgraceful thing could never happen to me,” Ye Chen said.

Disagreeing with his confidence, Ouyang Yue turned to Jiu Hu behind her and instructed, “Release the giant beasts we prepared; let’s give them a taste of our strength.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve prepared them well in advance. Today, they’ll definitely be screaming for mercy,” Jiu Hu said, leading several disciples away.

Ye Chen spoke to the Black Demonic Spirit, “Take good care of your master, don’t let anything happen.”

Ouyang Yue was inexperienced and prone to being provoked, but the Black Demonic Spirit was different. Having tempered its impulsive temper, it now made a passable military advisor. With it accompanying Ouyang Yue, Ye Chen could be somewhat at ease.

“Don’t worry. If anything happened to him, my own master would chew me out.”

Ye Chen chuckled. Ouyang Yue strode off with the Black Demonic Spirit, and Wan Liyun went another way with his people.

The situation was pretty much set up; now it was time to wait for the fire and water to clash and to stretch the string tight, awaiting the right moment.

Ye Chen looked back at Guo Yuyun, Yang Tao’er, and Li Mo. Li Mo was in charge of being on standby, just in case.

Knowing what this guy was about to say, Guo Yuyun commented, “You’ve repeated it many times last night. You’re not going to go over it again, are you?”

Li Mo laughed and said, “That’s just Ye Chen caring about you.”

“I wish someone would show that much concern for me. Instead, I get pushed to the front lines, it’s pitiful,” said Yang Tao’er.

“Understood. Unless the Evil Spirit shows up, I won’t make a move. You’d better take care of yourself,” Guo Yuyun replied.

“Alright, then everything follows my lead. I’ll find a way to draw away Longhun. When the time comes, Li Mo, you just wait for my signal to send a message.” With a Swift Movement Technique, he flew into the battle.

Guo Yuyun watched him disappear and felt some concern, but she was unable to help.

Yang Tao’er exclaimed, “Why did he rush off so quickly? I thought there’d be a tearful farewell.”

“You little rascal,” Guo Yuyun retorted.

Chen Yu finally saw a glimpse of hope. He had been on the verge of madness, cursing the people of the thirty-six islands every day for being as slow as snails, but now the battle had finally begun, starting from the outside.

Su Zhanze received the news only after midnight, confirming how the people of the thirty-six islands were going to help them break free today.

He had called his men over early in the morning to discuss the matter.

With battle commencing outside, those inside couldn’t idle either. They needed to collaborate with the outsiders to cause chaos, preventing the Dragon Slaying Clan from focusing their attention.

Hu Nanyue and Gu Xueyun, as well as Guan Yi, were the clearest on the plan. They were intent on figuring out how to rescue the people from the Immortal Demon Realm, which coincided precisely with Su Zhanze’s hopes. He needed their help, which was preferable to relying on Wan Shajiang.

After the death of Xiong Shuobo, there were far fewer objections.

Hu Nanyue said, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll proceed as discussed.”

Su Zhanze nodded, “Alright. We’ll discuss further if anything changes.”

Hu Nanyue and Gu Xueyun took their leave.

Now that Gu Xueyun had become the person in charge of the Heavenly City Sect after Su Zhanze killed Xiong Shuobo, only he could take responsibility for the sect’s affairs. Though he did not wish for Xiong Shuobo’s death and suspected him of killing Fang Ziren, by the time he arrived, Xiong Shuobo had already been slain, so there was no stopping it.

Chen Yu anxiously asked, “Can they really succeed?”

“That’s not for you to worry about. You should be cooperating with the people outside, mobilizing everyone. Don’t waste your time here. If you want to survive and leave this place, you better start moving and get our people to stop slacking,” Su Zhanze said, aware that their lives were at stake. If they didn’t succeed today, he could be killed.
