Chapter 1430 - 1430 1416 The Great Leader

Chapter 1430: Chapter 1416: The Great Leader Chapter 1430: Chapter 1416: The Great Leader Ye Chen drew a circle on the map and said, “If I’m not mistaken, they should be in this location, about this area.” He had thought about it all day before he was certain of it.

Guan Yi responded, “Alright, I’ll immediately take a group of people and release a flock of Winged Dragons to confirm their position.”

Up to this point, Su Zhanze had not spoken a word. Ye Chen wasn’t sure if he had an opinion, but he knew that to defeat Longhun, Su Zhanze’s help was indispensable, not to mention he still held the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Perhaps he was truly upset, but Ye Chen didn’t know what else he could say to him—probably nothing would make a difference.

Someone said, “If that’s the case, do we still need to go to Immortal City?”

Chen Yu replied, “There’s a Defense System there, so of course we need to go to Immortal City. However, we still need to listen to our Sect Leader.”

Da Wu, having heard this, said, “What do you mean ‘listen to your Sect Leader’? He’s not our Alliance Leader.” After Xiong Shuobo was killed by Su Zhanze, Gu Xueyun took over his position. His status in Heavenly City Sect had fallen drastically, and he had long held a grudge against Su Zhanze, fearing that Su Zhanze might cleave him with a sword next. Now, finding someone who could suppress Su Zhanze, he swelled with sudden confidence.

Taking the opportunity, Wan Shajiang suggested, “We should elect a new Alliance Leader to command us.”

People began to agree, saying, “Indeed, we need a new Alliance Leader. Otherwise, who will command us, and whom should we listen to?”

Chen Yu boldly stated, “Then, of course, we should choose the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect.”

Da Wu immediately protested, “Why him? What virtues and abilities does he have?” As if invigorated, he continued, “We should elect Ye Chen as the Alliance Leader.” He knew he didn’t have the capability to be the Alliance Leader, but as long as it wasn’t Su Zhanze, he was pleased. Knowing that Su Zhanze wanted to be the Alliance Leader badly, electing someone else would undoubtedly upset Su Zhanze, and that made him quite happy.

Ye Chen was about to speak.

But Chen Yu countered, “Under Su Zhanze’s command, we weren’t wiped out. If it weren’t for his stabilizing everyone, would we have had a chance to break through the siege? Therefore, the Alliance Leader should be our Sect Leader.”

Da Wu, discontented, retorted, “Had it not been for Ye Chen leading the people from the thirty-six islands, we would have been finished long ago. He rescued us. He is just, has commanded the immortal-demon world, and even helped them defeat Longhun. He should be the Alliance Leader, truly most appropriate. When it comes to character, who dares to compare with him? Your Sect Leader, whenever displeased, unsheathes his sword to chop off others’ heads.”

It was obvious this guy felt emboldened by the backing he received; just a few days ago, he was like a castrated chicken—how had he suddenly become so puffed up with courage? It must have been because of Ye Chen.

Chen Yu shouted, “Killing your Sect Leader stabilized the morale. If it weren’t for that, if everyone had acted like him, could we have held out for five days, waiting for the thirty-six islands’ reinforcements?”

“Heh, I say that was personal vendetta under the guise of righteousness. Our Sect Leader exposed your misdeeds, yet you talk about stabilizing morale. Don’t think the matter with Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren is over; we’ll settle our accounts later. With such a record, you still want to be Alliance Leader—do you think you can convince everyone?” Da Wu shouted.

Realizing this was not the time for such discussions, Hu Nanyue hastily called out, “Hey, we’re currently discussing how to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan and protect ourselves.” He saw that Su Zhanze was quite unhappy.

Wan Shajiang said, “But we really should select someone to command us. Otherwise, how will we agree on orders during critical moments, and who should we listen to?”

Then, Wan Liyun added, “In major affairs, we indeed need someone to make the final decisions. We should elect a qualified person and then follow their commands.”

Da Wu declared, “There’s no need to elect anyone. When it comes to character and ability, none is more suitable than Ye Chen.”

Chen Yu argued, “He’s not from the immortal-demon world. How can we elect him as the Alliance Leader?”

“Really? Well, I know that a year ago, he served as the Alliance Leader. Isn’t there anyone here who remembers?”

The Black Demonic Spirit nudged Ye Chen and whispered, “Did you offer Da Wu some benefits, or did you use silver to buy him off? He’s working hard for you.”

When the Red Demonic Spirit heard this, he snorted coldly, “Su Zhanze killed Xiong Shuobo, causing his status in Heavenly City Sect to plummet. He simply dislikes Su Zhanze. Don’t get too pleased with yourself. Once this is over, he’ll still demand the Wolf King’s Ring from you.”

Ye Chen was in no mood to deal with this. He had already provoked Su Zhanze that day and noticed his clear displeasure. Ye Chen quickly said, “Indeed, a new Alliance Leader should be chosen. I believe this should be a matter for the people of the immortal-demon world. It shouldn’t be me. Your Su Zhanze is quite suitable. Regarding a year ago, my tenure as Alliance Leader was due to special circumstances.”

Seizing the moment, Chen Yu said, “Did you hear that? That’s what he said.”

But Ouyang Yue countered, “No, it’s obvious it’s not just a matter for your immortal-demon world. The people from the thirty-six islands are also here, so it’s not about electing an Alliance Leader for your world but rather considering everyone’s opinion. However, we really do need to elect a spokesperson, otherwise, who will we listen to when it comes to major decisions?”

Ye Chen was taken aback. Why was this girl also stirring up trouble? Did she not think the situation was complicated enough? At that moment, he just wished to avoid conflict with Su Zhanze and quickly find a way to defeat Longhun. Then everything could return to normal—marrying for those who should marry, having children for those who should have children.

Ouyang Yue did not like Su Zhanze and was aware of his character. She truly felt it would not be good for him to take command.

Hu Nanyue stated, “That’s true. After all, it’s a joint effort of the thirty-six islands and the immortal-demon world. We should elect someone from among the people of both sides, not just consider the immortal-demon world. We should also think of the thirty-six islands.” The arrival of the thirty-six islands’ people had rescued them from the encirclement, and he felt somewhat grateful.

“We should elect a great chief, responsible for commanding everyone.”

Honestly, Ye Chen didn’t care much about this, but they obviously were determined to do so.

Soon, there were a cacophony of voices, each advocating for different opinions.

Hu Nanyue, concerned for Su Zhanze, asked, “Su Zhanze, what do you think?”

He certainly couldn’t arrogantly insist that it must be him, as that would be too much of a loss of face. Yet, listening to the debates of the people, it was clear that his popularity wasn’t as high as that youngster’s. He knew that quite a few guys here held grudges against him, as they already believed that the incidents with Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei were his doing. At this moment, he felt that the most important thing was to defeat Longhun first. If he were to lose to Longhun, all other discussions would be moot.

He truly disliked that youngster, the scene from just now lingering in his mind, preventing him from focusing fully. So he said, “Let’s just elect a person in charge.”

Ye Chen really wanted to refuse and let Su Zhanze become the person in charge.

But Da Wu said, “Sect Leader Ye, don’t be modest. We all know your capabilities. Only you truly fit to be the Sect Leader. You must lead us once more in defeating Longhun, and this time we cannot let it escape.”

Soon they all cast their votes, with the leaders of each sect participating.

And truth be told, due to Da Wu’s efforts, which swayed the crowd, and their familiarity and trust in Ye Chen, the outcome held no suspense at all. Ye Chen surpassed Su Zhanze to become their person in charge.

Ye Chen noticed that at that moment, Su Zhanze turned away, clearly very unhappy.

Ye Chen was particularly worried that this would affect their upcoming joint efforts to deal with Longhun. But now that it had come to this, he couldn’t refuse.

Gu Xueyun said, “Then I’ll take some people to scout ahead,” and led a group down.

They had then confirmed their next stop.

Now they were just waiting for the news from up front. If it was indeed as he had guessed, they would have to think of another plan.

The people scattered, preparing to set off.

Ouyang Yue patted Ye Chen and said, “Monkey, I didn’t expect your popularity to be this good. You won without any suspense. I was worried you might lose.”

Ye Chen was not as thrilled; he would have preferred Su Zhanze to have won.

Ouyang Yue asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem too excited.”

Ye Chen replied, “I wish it wasn’t me who won.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m only concerned about defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“You’re worried Su Zhanze is unhappy.” Even though Su Zhanze wore a half-mask, revealing only part of his face, it was obvious from that half that he was very displeased.

“Ah, I really didn’t expect you to be so concerned.”

“What’s the matter, the people aren’t wrong. Su Zhanze isn’t a good person. Although it’s been proven that he didn’t steal the Sacred Spirit Stone, his repeated appearances at the Thirty-Six Islands suggest he indeed has intentions of stealing it.”

“Is that so?” Ye Chen stood up and noticed Yun’er to the side, who he had neglected for quite a while. He said, “Girl, still fantasizing about whether your sister and I had any shameful encounters over the past two days and nights?”

Guo Yuyun sent a sweeping kick his way, but Ye Chen jumped, dodging her foot.

“You didn’t really have an affair with her sister, did you? That would be quite unethical,” Ouyang Yue shook her head.

“What are you thinking? Always letting your imagination run wild.”

When Yang Tao’er arrived, everyone had already dispersed.

Ye Chen asked, “Her foot isn’t too serious, is it?”

“With me here, do you think these count as a problem?”

“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you. Just don’t actually cripple her,” Ye Chen said.

“Mind your own business,” replied Yang Tao’er.

Ye Chen looked at Yun’er and said, “Yun’er, let’s go. We haven’t seen each other for two days, you must miss me a lot. Come on, tell me how you missed me.”

Yun’er was somewhat overwhelmed. This guy really acted as if nothing had happened.
