Chapter 338 - 338 325

Chapter 338: 325 Chapter 338: 325 Jiang Zhuge explained, “Immortal City is the most well-prepared right now. If even they can’t resist or defeat Mutant Winged Dragon outside the city, then it will be even harder for other sects to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan. Su Hong wants to use all the power he has to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan. If the Dragon Slaying Clan is confirmed to be headed this way, I believe Qiao Fanfeng will return with his men soon.”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Should we go out and take a look around?”

“The Sect Leader wants to leave? Didn’t Su Hong ask you to stay and help analyze the situation?”

“Well, Immortal City has plenty of talented people. They don’t need me. There are many sects here to help Su Hong, and Qiao Fanfeng has already returned.”

“You need to inform Su Hong.”

Ye Chen nodded, then said, “I can’t sit still. Our people are in Crane City. I believe there are some people in Crane City preparing to leave. It’s of no use for us to stay here. Let’s go out and see what Mutant Winged Dragon is up to. This way we can stay proactive. With Su Hong and the others here, we can’t really help. Should we really just sit here and eat for free!”

Jiang Zhuge chuckled and said, “True that, wanting to do something but not being able to.”

“Exactly, if we leave Immortal City, we can be more proactive. If anything happens to Immortal City, we can return and help. Now that we know their plans and they’ve recognized us, there’s no point in staying here. Let’s go out.”

While they were talking, Li Mo stormed in, puzzling Ye Chen and Jiang Zhuge.

Jiang Zhuge asked, “What has happened?”

“It’s so infuriating! I’m getting sicker and sicker of this Immortal City.” Li Mo ranted.

“What happened?” Ye Chen asked.

Li Mo hesitated, then said, “Just all nonsense, it’s hardly pleasing.”

“What did you hear?” Ye Chen asked.

“All sorts of rumors. They’re saying Ye Chen has returned to Immortal City to seize the position of Sect Leader and take revenge for his mother who died five years ago.”

Ye Chen responded with a faint smile.

“You’re still laughing. That’s actually what they’re saying, and every word feels like a sting. But we all know the Sect Leader is here only to help the realm of immortals and demons and to take revenge for the New City Sect.”

“And yet you’re still angry.”

“They’re such petty people. They claim that our Sect Leader covets their Sect Leader position and seeks revenge against them. Our Sect Leader is not that kind of person.”

“If you know that, why’re you still upset?” Jiang Zhuge asked.

“It’s indignation on behalf of Ye Chen. His mother was driven away by them, leading to her death, and they haven’t shown any remorse. And now they’re spreading these rumors. What’s their game? I’ve thoroughly lost respect for Immortal City. Who knows what we’ll hear next…”

Yu Yun was about to enter the room when she heard Li Mo’s rant and paused at the door.

Li Mo continued, “I know the Sect Leader isn’t like that, and isn’t petty-minded. But they are saying Ye Chen used the former Sect Leader’s daughter to secure his position as Sect Leader of New City and implying that he is cunning and will use any means necessary, even selling his own body.”

Ye Chen laughed, saying, “These people do have a vivid imagination. I quickly rose to the position of Sect Leader for New City Sect so their suspicion isn’t exactly misplaced.”

“But I know the true story. It’s not as they say. How can they just spread rumors like that? Honestly, I can’t stand being in Immortal City any longer. If this continues, I’ll feel suffocated.”

“They’re not talking about you. Why are you feeling choked?”

“I feel indignant for the Sect Leader. Why should they slander our Sect Leader? We came to Immortal City to help them.”

“Their worries and suspicion are not unwarranted, since I might indeed have come to avenge my mother.” Ye Chen said.

“I know you wouldn’t be so petty-minded. They are just blabbering.”

“If you know that they’re spreading false rumors, why bother listening?”

“I don’t want to listen, they’re just too upsetting to hear!”

“If it annoys you, then stop listening!” Jiang Zhuge said.

“Sigh, it’s unbearable. Someone’s definitely stirring the pot and spreading false rumors. Otherwise, there is no way so many lies would spread in such a short time.” Li Mo said as he took a sip of tea.

Ye Chen said, “Alright, if you don’t want to listen, then don’t. We’re going to descend the mountain.”

Li Mo’s head shot up in surprise. “Descend the mountain?”

“Didn’t you say you don’t want to stay here anymore? Then we should descend the mountain.” Ye Chen answered.

Li Mo immediately became excited, “That’s great! Going down the mountain will be more liberating. Let’s see if they dare to call us back up the mountain if something happens. We might just not feel like coming.”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

“When are we leaving?” Li Mo asked.

“Tomorrow morning.”

“Did the Sect Leader decide to leave because of what I said?” Li Mo asked.

“What are you thinking? Even without your gossip, we were thinking about leaving.”

“It’s good to leave. Such a contentious place really isn’t suited for us. The less we see of it, the better.”

Right then, Yu Yun, who was outside, heard their conversation about leaving.

She didn’t go in and instead turned around and left.

Li Mo said, “Great, leaving is good. I don’t like staying here.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “Since we’re leaving and not staying here, Ye Chen, you need to mention this to Su Hong.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. Indeed, he needed to inform Su Hong; otherwise, it would be inappropriate to just leave without saying anything. He said, “Alright, I will meet with him tonight.” He needs to make arrangements.

These days, if Yu Qing had nothing to do, she would come to Shi Zi’s place. Zhan Ze was called over by his father in the morning, so she had no work and came over again.

Upon entering, she immediately asked, “Where’s Yu Yun?”

“I don’t know. You know her as well, she can’t possibly stay in the courtyard.”

“Did she go over to Ye Chen’s place again?”

“It’s highly possible. As her older sister, you can’t even keep an eye on her, let alone me.”

“Is Zhan Ze very busy recently?”

“Yes, he was called by his father.”

“Aren’t you going with him?”

“Why should I go with him?”

Shi Zi said, “The Mutant Winged Dragon has already been dispatched, coming from the Wastelands. The real war is about to start soon. I don’t know if they are heading for our Immortal City. Perhaps Zhan Ze and the others will also be busy.”

Bi Chun rushed in. Seeing Yu Qing, she said, “Yu Qing, won’t you send off Ye Chen?”

“Send off Ye Chen?”

“Ye Chen is leaving Immortal City today.”

To this, Shi Zi was stunned, asking, “Wasn’t he supposed to stay in Immortal City! Why is he leaving now?”

“I don’t know, but they are indeed leaving today and I guess they have already left the city.”

“What’s going on!” She seemed somewhat disbelieving.

Bi Chun then said, “I heard some rumors. Possibly their departure is related to these rumors.”

Shi Zi asked, “What rumors?”

Bi Chun replied, “Some very unpleasant rumors.” She didn’t dare say it outright.

“Speak up, what rumors.”

“Some people say, Ye Chen came to Immortal City for revenge, to settle the score for something that happened five years ago, with a hidden agenda.”

“Nonsense! Ye Chen is here to help Immortal City fight the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“Yes, that’s what I think too. But some people don’t see it that way. Now everyone knows Su Hong is Ye Chen’s father, only no one mentioned it explicitly. Some people say Su Hong feels guilty towards Ye Chen. The chief reason Ye Chen came to Immortal City was to repay the debt for his mother’s death, to seek justice. There are also people saying, Ye Chen is here for the future Sect Leader position of Immortal City Sect.”

Shi Zi glanced at Yu Qing and said, “These people sure have wild imaginations, spewing nonsense to this extent.”

“There are also people saying that Ye Chen, through some means, only then obtained the Sect Leader position of New City Sect. But he’s not satisfied, he also wants the future Sect Leader position of Immortal City Sect.” Bi Chun continued, “I believe Ye Chen and the others must have left Immortal City because they didn’t want to hear this.”

“Damn it, the people in Immortal City, are they full and have nothing to do, to talk such nonsense.”

“I don’t know whether it’s nonsense or not, but it does sound like it could be true. Ye Chen may have come back to Immortal City to seek justice for his mother. Who can be sure?”

“Nothing but a bunch of people talking drivel.”

Yu Qing was listening gravely on the side. She knows Ye Chen well and knows that he’s not a scheming person.

Shi Zi said, “These lies are only capable of deceiving outsiders.”

“I don’t know, but some people say, it is precisely because Ye Chen was exposed that they chose to leave.”

Shi Zi said, “Yu Qing, don’t listen to their idle gossip. Ye Chen is not such a person, you and I both know that.”

Suddenly, Yu Qing stood up anxiously, and said one word: Yu Yun.

Shi Zi asked, “What happened?”

Yu Qing asked, “Have they left, Ye Chen and the others?”

“They should have already left the gates.”

Yu Qing hurriedly ran into Yu Yun’s room, and there on the table, she saw a letter. As she opened it, it confirmed her suspicion.

“What happened?” Shi Zi took the letter, saying, “Damn it, this girl, is she eloping with Ye Chen?”

Her clothes were already taken.

Shi Zi said, “No way, Ye Chen couldn’t possibly have allowed her to follow him down the mountain. It’s impossible.”

“This girl does things without considering the consequences, you know that.” Yu Qing had already run out the courtyard gate.

Shi Zi also hurriedly ran out.
