Chapter 1439 - 1439 1425 On the Edge of the Cliff

Chapter 1439: Chapter 1425: On the Edge of the Cliff Chapter 1439: Chapter 1425: On the Edge of the Cliff Hearing Li Mo say, Su Zhan Ze launched a surprise attack on Ye Chen, injecting a stream of demonic energy into Ye Chen’s body.

Qing’er’s eyes widened and she said, “Repeat what you just said.”

Li Mo spoke up, “This is Su Zhan Ze’s scheme. He deliberately handed the Dragon Slayer Sword to Ye Chen, to have Ye Chen and Longhun fight to the death. Then, he threw the uncontrollable Spiritual Stone into the mix. It really worked; both Ye Chen and Longhun were badly injured by the shockwave, and Su Zhan Ze seized the opportunity to sneak attack Ye Chen. Demonic energy entered Ye Chen’s body and then…”

“No, absolutely not. How could he do such a thing?” Guo Yuqing was beside herself with agitation, exclaiming, “So where has he gone now?” She saw the ground littered with corpses, clearly left by a rampaging Ye Chen. Otherwise, how could Li Mo look as if he had lost his soul?

“He fled into the woods, and Yun’er and Yang Tao’er followed him.”

Tears began to well up in Qing’er’s eyes.

The Evil Spirit unleashed a massacre amid the dense smoke, and no one could stop it. Hu Nanyue rushed over but couldn’t find Su Zhan Ze. However, the members of the Dragon Slaying Clan had been scattered. Clearly, no one was capable of confronting the Evil Spirit now, and it was meaningless to stay here. How to deal with the Evil Spirit was a matter for the future. They had to leave this place right away.

Everyone was very weary and powerless to confront the Evil Spirit, including the members of the Sacred Spirit Sect.

Ouyang Yue ran over and urgently told Hu Nanyue, “Everyone has to evacuate this place quickly, we can’t deal with the Evil Spirit for now.”

Hu Nanyue looked at Li Mo and said, “Li Mo, you must hurry and get Qing’er and the rest out of here immediately.”

Qing’er’s heart was fully occupied with thoughts of Ye Chen and her sister as she cried out, “I need to find them.” She was extremely agitated.

Ouyang Yue still didn’t know what had happened.

Li Mo quickly informed her of the events.

The Black Demonic Spirit angrily said, “I knew that bastard wasn’t anything good, I told you to watch out for this guy, but no one heeded my advice. Now you know what it’s like to suffer.”

At this moment, Ouyang Yue and the others were even more worried that Ye Chen might succumb to demonization.

The Red Demonic Spirit called out, “What’s the point of saying this now?”

It was only then that the Black Demonic Spirit said, “I knew something was very wrong. I’ve been searching for ages and didn’t see the one wearing the mask. So that was the plan.”

Ouyang Yue, holding back her sorrow, said, “Let’s talk after we get out of here, let’s all leave this place.”

Wan Liyun came up behind and said, “You guys go first, I’ll hold off the Evil Spirit.”

Gu Xueyun said, “I’ll help you.”

They quickly escaped into the woods, first evacuating the valley and distancing themselves from the Evil Spirit.

All the way, the Black Demonic Spirit kept grumbling, “He must have planned it all along, to make Ye Chen and Longhun fight a life-and-death battle. Just when it was about to be decided, he’d play the role of the fisherman reaping the benefits. Indeed, that was a brilliant move, and he actually succeeded. Now the Sacred Spirit Stone is in his hands, and he can control everything in the future. This kid is even worse than Longhun.”

However, speaking of it now was meaningless; what more people were worried about was whether Ye Chen might descend into madness from this. That was the most crucial concern.

“Last time, on Paper Kite Island, we shouldn’t have saved him. Someone like him is not worth saving at all. I’m afraid that in the future, neither the Demon Domain nor the Thirty-Six Islands will have peace.”

Night had fallen.

Li Mo, who had gone to search for the Wolf King, returned with disappointment written on his face.

“You haven’t found my sister and Yang Tao’er either?” Qing’er asked.

Li Mo shook his head.

“Ah, let’s not think too much about it for now. Have something to eat. Yang Tao’er is skilled in medicine; perhaps she’ll work wonders,” said the Red Demonic Spirit consolingly.

Ouyang Yue said, “Wait a minute. We’ll send people out again; we’ll definitely find a way to locate them.”

Qing’er didn’t speak.

Knowing that Su Zhan Ze took those people to gather the Dragon Slaying Clan, Wan Liyun said, “Su Zhan Ze won’t spare Longhun. He will definitely find a way to kill Longhun. Longhun has harmed him so severely, and judging by his character and what he did to Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei, he is vengeful. Now that Longhun is seriously injured, he won’t let him go, so whether we go looking for him or not doesn’t matter. He will find a way to kill Longhun.”

He said this for Ouyang Yue to hear.

Jiu Hu, who was standing beside, said, “The problem now is that the Dragon Slayers have been defeated and Longhun has been slain. With both the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Sacred Spirit Stone falling into Su Zhanze’s hands, what is Su Zhanze going to do next?”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “We should take this opportunity and join hands to deal with Su Zhanze.”

Hu Nanyue listened and said, “No, I know you are all worried about whether Su Zhanze will take control of everything next, including annihilating all thirty-six islands. But if he doesn’t have this intention, and you provoke him, he might simply take the opportunity to destroy the thirty-six islands and our Immortal Demon Domain outright.”

Sect Leader Guan Yi of the Withered Leaf Sect said, “The most important thing is, now that both the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Sacred Spirit Stone are in Su Zhanze’s hands, and considering there was a group of people just now collaborating with them against the Dragon Slaying Clan, can we really face him? Most importantly, we don’t know his true intentions yet.”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “This guy will definitely try to unify the mortal realm next. Do you really think he can be saved?”

Guan Yi hurriedly said, “That’s not what we mean. We simply cannot face him right now, especially after a great battle, and no one can withstand his Dragon Slayer Sword. That’s the crux of the problem.”

“Then why not wait for the people from the Wastelands to come over?” The Black Demonic Spirit suggested, seemingly wanting to avenge Ye Chen.

Guan Yi continued, “Let’s all calm down for now. The most important thing is to find Ye Chen. How we can help Ye Chen then is what matters most. Other issues can wait. As for Su Zhanze, let’s not provoke him for the time being. After the Dragon Slayers are annihilated, and we have all recovered, we can see if Su Zhanze really intends to unify the mortal realm.”

“By then it will be too late, and you’ll all be led by the nose,” the Black Demonic Spirit retorted.

“Maybe, but we are powerless right now, so it’s better not to provoke him, and deal with the Dragon Slayers first.”

Li Mo said, “Then I will tell the people of the New City Sect not to enter the Central Plains.”

Guan Yi said, “If they were to enter the Wastelands now, it might make the suspicious Su Zhanze think they are coming to deal with him. If the Dragon Slayers are eliminated and people from the Wastelands enter the Central Plains, it will inevitably raise questions about what they intend to do there. Su Zhanze could easily suspect they are coming to deal with him. If that’s the case, things could get very bad.”

The Black Demonic Spirit became frustrated at these words and shouted, “According to you, we just let him do as he pleases, not taking any action, as if you don’t care at all, just like with the matters of Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei, right?”

Guan Yi hastily said, “That’s not my point. What I mean is even if you want revenge, you need a plan and at least a chance of winning. Besides, we don’t even know Ye Chen’s current condition. Shouldn’t we hurry up and find Ye Chen first?”

Although Guan Yi sounded somewhat weak, his words were very sensible. Wan Liyun said, “I think what Guan Yi said is correct. Finding Ye Chen is the most important thing now. Revenge can wait; besides, we still have to deal with Longhun. If we let Longhun escape now, that would be bad.”

Ouyang Yue was worried and confused, but she also understood that they didn’t need to look for the Dragon Slaying Clan now—Su Zhanze wouldn’t let Longhun go, saying, “Alright, Jiu Hu, you’ll follow the Island Master’s instructions later, whether to retreat to the seaside or to return home.”

Guan Yi said, “We never expected Su Zhanze to do such a thing.” Defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan was supposed to be a happy event, but now no one felt that joy.

“You’ll see, that great demon has his own agenda, and once they’ve eliminated the Dragon Slaying Clan, he will definitely come back to deal with you. Just wait and regret it then,” the Black Demonic Spirit said, turning and walking away.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

Ouyang Yue didn’t know how to comfort Yu Qing.

At this moment, the Dragon Slayers hadn’t been destroyed; they were hiding in the woods, trying to find a way out.

Ouyang Yue called out Li Mo, the Black Demonic Spirit, and the Red Demonic Spirit.

Li Mo had already sent a message through Fei Ge, informing the New City Sect about the events and warning them not to come for now, pending further notice from him.

Ouyang Yue said, “Li Mo, you and the others, I’ll leave some people behind, and you all are responsible for finding Ye Chen.”

The Black Demonic Spirit coldly said, “What’s the point of searching? He’s probably become possessed and turned into a werewolf, ready to go on a rampage.” Thinking of the corpses he had just seen, he couldn’t help but worry.

Ouyang Yue angrily retorted, “Can’t you say something nice for once with that curse of a mouth of yours?”

“Right, I have a cursed mouth. I too hope he’s alright. There, happy?” The thought of Ye Chen’s predicament weighed on him. If it weren’t for Yang Tao’er’s exceptional medical skills, Ye Chen would have already succumbed to possession and madness. And with another wave of demonic energy entering him, he truly thought the notion of Ye Chen being well was wishful thinking.

Ouyang Yue felt distraught and said, “Take good care of yourself.” That’s all she could say, not knowing what else to offer.

There was no need for Ouyang Yue to say this, as Li Mo planned to find Ye Chen next.

“Ye Chen’s welfare is now in your hands. If anything happens, send a message by pigeon,” she instructed.

Li Mo nodded slightly in agreement.

Ouyang Yue didn’t know what else she could do; what mattered now was finding Ye Chen and learning whether he had only become possessed. She knew Ye Chen’s condition was dire from the start, recognizing that with a stream of demonic energy entering him, salvation was questionable. She dared not consider the worst.

“I’ll go pick some people right now,” Li Mo said, taking the Red Demonic Spirit with him.
