Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 239 - 239 229 Meng Xiuluo

Chapter 239: Chapter 229: Meng Xiuluo Chapter 239: Chapter 229: Meng Xiuluo Three days have passed and the Zen Master made no appearance. Kong Sha appeared surprised and said, “Perhaps Sky Domain City is not the target of this Zen Master.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Sisan simply smiled and said, “Impossible. If they did not aim for our Wasteland City, then there is no need for them to capture Tianle City so early. If they want to rule over the Wastelands, they must seize Wasteland City.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded his agreement, “That’s right. They captured Tianle City. Surely they intend to do the same with Wasteland City.”

Kong Sha stated, “Still, there is no news from Dongle City. Perhaps they aim to take the Sky Domain City first, before finding a way to capture Wasteland City.”

Wei Sisan replied, “Wasteland City has been the most important city in the Wastelands since ancient times. Its significance is beyond that of Sky Domain City. It has always been the case that those who possess Wasteland City hold the power to control the Wastelands.”

After hearing this, Kong Sha nodded his agreement.

“Enough of the speculation. What use has guessing ever been? Currently, we control Wasteland City. If they aim to rule the Wastelands, they will have to take Wasteland City, it’s unavoidable. I believe they will appear sooner or later. Let’s not frighten ourselves ahead of their arrival. Everyone, speak to the common folk residing within Wasteland City. Prepare them for what may come. If they wish to leave, let them. If they choose to stay, we will protect them.”

Jiang Zhuge complied, “Alright, I will manage the arrangements.”

Wei Sisan added, “We must not be careless, Jiang Zhuge. Are the weapons I asked you to prepare ready?” After the previous battle, most equipment was left in a state of disrepair.

Jiang Zhuge replied, “We are in the midst of gathering resources.”

“Furthermore, their people might infiltrate Wasteland City. We must remain cautious.” The incident at Tianle City is still fresh. Wei Sisan had no choice but to be prudent.

Kong Sha suggested, “The most prudent course would be to seal the city.”

Wei Sisan inquired, “Do the rest of you agree?”

Jiang Zhuge and the others nodded their agreement.

Can Mo voiced, “Sealing off the city would also serve to gear up our forces.”

“Very well then, we will prepare to seal the city tomorrow. Keep a close watch on Sky Domain City to see whether they intend to strike there. However, I still hold firm to my belief that they aim first for Wasteland City. Once Wasteland City is in their hands, they could technically claim control over the Wastelands. Subsequently, capturing Sky Domain City would be much easier.”

With the city on lockdown, Ye Chen strolled through the streets. The recently acquired Wasteland City was once again teetering on stability. His feelings were a mess, but upon hearing that those people were aiming for Sky Domain, Wuji Domain and South Wasteland, he could not help but feel apprehension.

Although Su Hong would not acknowledge him as his son, he did not want to see any troubles arising for the Fairy Demon Domain.

Increasingly, news from Central Plains reached Wasteland City, all sorts of rumours circulated.

Majority of things did not require Ye Chen’s intervention and he found himself free. As he walked through the streets, he didn’t have a specific destination in mind and was simply curious to hear what the city folk were discussing, especially since new information came in every day.

Ye Chen was aware of an inn where most news was shared.

He entered.

Someone remarked, “The entire world seems set for chaos.”

A man retorted, “Don’t frighten yourself unnecessarily. Isn’t Wasteland City perfectly fine and peaceful for now? In Central Plains, isn’t everything mostly normal?”

“That’s only temporary. Haven’t you seen, it hasn’t even been half a month since that Zen Master arrived, and now only Wasteland City and Sky Domain City remain. Such fast action on their part. Tianle City, which had been in possession of New City Sect for decades, was captured overnight.”

Someone piped up, “Stop scaring yourself. The incident in Tianle city was a mishap. At that time, Gua Zhengnie’s men were hiding within the city, causing havoc and releasing all sorts of monsters to harm civilians. New City Sect’s people had their hands full and could not help. When Shen Tian and Shen Li launched a ferocious attack, the people of New City Sect, fearing that the chaos and casualties might escalate, gave up on Tianle City.”

“That only proves that they would do anything to get what they want, while we have principles we can’t forsake. They have no moral bounds and act as they please.”

“Wasteland City isn’t the same as Tianle City, not to mention we still have Sect Leader Wei residing over it. We are better prepared this time. Stop worrying yourself unnecessarily. The Zen Master hasn’t even arrived yet and you are already panicking.”

“They want to unify the Wastelands, the Wuji Domain, and the South Wasteland. Do you think they’d stop? I see it as an eventual occurrence.”

“We in the Wasteland have a solid foundation. They won’t be able to takeover so easily. If they were truly formidable, why haven’t they come yet? The New City Sect are waiting for them.”

One person announced, “I would rather leave this place sooner rather than later. There’s no need to bet my life on the fate of Wasteland City.”

Someone even surprised, remarked, “It’s indeed strange. In such a vast place like Central Plains, with Fairy Demon Domain present, it’s baffling that until now no one has figured out where these invaders came from.”

An old man responded, “I heard that they came from the sea.”

“From the sea?”

“There should be some origin, right?”

“These people, they just popped up out of nowhere, not even a month ago. They must be trying to conceal their existence. They don’t want us to know about them.”

“I heard they have some connection to the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ye Chen, who was listening in, asked, “What Dragon Slaying Clan?” It was a familiar name that he wore on a Jade Ring around his neck.

“The very one that was annihilated eighteen years ago. But for now, it’s unclear whether they really are from the Dragon Slaying Clan. We need more time to fully comprehend the situation.”

Ye Chen became puzzled. He looked at his Jade Ring. He remembered the Red Demonic Spirit mentioning a link between this item and the Dragon Slaying Clan.

“Ah, these matters are beyond our control. We should focus on our own business. If you’re really scared, let’s leave Wasteland City. I believe even if we meet those people, they won’t bother us. Haven’t people in Tianle City been left unscathed?”

“Wasteland City has already been sealed off.”

“No worries. I have some good relations with the people from New City Sect. Once everything clears up, they will let us out. They won’t make things difficult for us.”

Various talks went around.

Ye Chen ordered a plate of peanuts, quietly contemplating. If the rumors were true that this was the handiwork of the Dragon Slaying Clan, then their ultimate intention was surely against the Central Plains. The Immortal Demon Realm must be particularly anxious about it.

If both the Wastelands and the Wuji Domain, as well as the South Wasteland were to be taken over altogether, who would possess such might? The circumstances are too severe. Even a return to the Central Plains would lend futile. He couldn’t bear abandoning this place. That little girl would go mad.

He wished to figure out what exactly was going on. He was intrigued to see if this Zen Master was truly as formidable as people claimed him to be.

Meng Xiuluo had led a group of seven or eight individuals into the sealed Wasteland City. She had heard about the recent events, especially pertaining to the New City Sect. After Wei Sisan was ambushed, he was almost killed.However, upon his return, he managed to defeat Yang Jing, Jue Ming, and Gua Zhengnie.

The name heard most frequently was a young man, Ye Chen, who had led a group of people to ambush Yang Jing’s party. He was then surrounded, but miraculously escaped. Moreover, he set a trap, annihilating the No. One Thieves, four great fiends, Tong Hegan and their gang. This was quite impressive.

She also heard that this fellow was on the brink of becoming the Sect Leader of the New City Sect and that his martial arts skills were superb. She was keen to meet this individual.

Xiang Yi, standing next to her, asked, “Xiuluo, the city is sealed. What do you plan to do?”

Meng Xiuluo already knew that the Zen Master would arrive soon. However, the few people she brought along wouldn’t be much help. They could at best relay information. Lately, the New City Sect had intensified its defensive measures. Therefore, it was impossible to cause chaos.

Xiang Yi unfolded a sketch, saying, “This is the person you wanted to draw.”

“Quite handsome, isn’t he?” In the sketch was none other than Ye Chen.

“He often shows up at the inn below. People come and go there, providing the latest news from the Wasteland.”

Meng Xiuluo nodded, “Alright, I got it.”

“Xiuluo, what are you planning? Are you going to kill this guy?”

“Didn’t you hear? His martial arts skills are superior.”

“Then we poison him.”

“No, let’s hold off on that. I will meet him first.”

“You want to meet him? How?” Xiang Yi asked.

“Leave that to me. You take our people and hide. Don’t act rashly, wait for my command. After all, I can’t just do nothing. Knowing yourself and your enemy is key to any battle. Let’s start from this notable young man.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Nothing. You guys stay put at this inn. It’ll be a couple of days before the Zen Master arrives.” Meng Xiuluo picked up the sketch, looked at it, and added, “No mistakes, right?”

“None, rest assured.”

“Good, take a good rest.”

“Can you tell me what you’re planning?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure myself.”

“If you’re unsure, why bother having his sketch drawn?”

“I’m going to need a dress, a dress for a girl, and I need to dress up properly.” Meng Xiuluo muttered to herself.
