Chapter 347: Chapter 334: The Crisis of Heavenly City Chapter 347: Chapter 334: The Crisis of Heavenly City At dusk, after eating, at Jiang Zhuge’s suggestion, Ye Chen summoned his men.

Jiang Zhuge said to Ye Chen, “Those people have already arrived at Crane City.”

“Did they all reach Crane City?” Ye Chen asked.

“The three forces met and arrived at Crane City. Only Slaughter Saint and Jing Po have yet to arrive. I believe they will be able to make it to Crane City tomorrow, so they can head to Immortal City the day after,” Jiang Zhuge stated.

Ye Chen nodded, deep in thought.

Jiang Zhuge continued, “It is uncertain whether Su Hong and his allies can hold their ground.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo said, “Everyone from the Demon Domain is basically in the Immortal City. If they can’t defend it, then there is no point in fighting this war. They should just surrender outright.”

“Right, if they have been preparing for so long and still can’t hold out, that would be a joke. It can’t be that easy to suffer defeat,” a disciple remarked.

Li Mo added, “They have some hidden strength. We shouldn’t worry.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “The Mutant Winged Dragon must have planned carefully and made ample preparations.”

Li Mo countered, “But the Demon Domain also made full preparations. They have the defense system of Immortal City and the three Sacred Pearls gathered. They should be able to hold their ground. We can wait and see and then decide.”

“Yes, we shouldn’t be in such a hurry. When the Dragon Slaying Clan attacked us in the Wastelands, the Demon Domain didn’t panic,” a disciple exclaimed.

“That’s right. There’s no need for us to be so anxious when the Demon Domain people are all there,” said another.

Ye Chen asked, “Anything happened with Heavenly City and Demon Palace?”

Jiang Zhuge replied, “No, there hasn’t been any news from there.”

Ye Chen nodded again.

Li Mo said, “Sect Leader, do you still think the Dragon Slaying Clan will stir up trouble in Heavenly City and Demon Palace?”

“If it were me commanding, I’d definitely cause a commotion in Demon Palace and Heavenly City to throw them into disarray,” Ye Chen retorted.

“Maybe, the Mutant Winged Dragon is extremely self-confident that he can defeat all the beings in the Immortal City in one fell swoop.”

“We can only hope that is the case,” Ye Chen said. “By the way, how did the people of the Immortal and Demon Domains defeat the Mutant Winged Dragon and the Dragon Slaying Clan the last time?”

Jiang Zhuge answered, “The last time Su Hong noticed in advance that the Mutant Winged Dragon was planning to attack the Demon Domain. So, he informed the leaders of Immortal City and Demon Palace ahead of time. With the defensive power of the Sacred Pearls combined and men ready for battle, Su Hong helped from the shadows.”

The Dragon Slaying Clan fell into an ambush, which depleted their forces, and they weren’t able to meet up with Mitra Monk. In the end, their forces split. The Mutant Winged Dragon wasn’t fully prepared, so they were caught off guard. They triumphed by sheer luck. That’s all I know.”

Ye Chen asked, “Could the Mutant Winged Dragon have thought of a way to deal with the three Sacred Pearls?”

“It’s hard to say, but I believe the Demon Domain has a solid foundation,” Jiang Zhuge said.

Li Mo reasoned, “It’s uncertain. The opponents may have prepared well this time. They will definitely not make the same mistakes as before.”

“I think we can wait and see. We’ll decide depending on their actions,” concluded Li Mo.

Ye Chen gave a faint nod.

Yu Yun grew impatient, “Are you seriously just planning to watch? I believe we should use all our power to confront the Dragon Slaying Clan, not just sit back and watch to see who has the upper hand before making a move.”

Jiang Zhuge laughed. He knew what Ye Chen was thinking. He would not rush to make a move because it would make them seem unimportant.

Li Mo said, “Rest assured, we will not ignore the situation.”

“Go get some rest. We’ll see how things unfold after the Dragon Slaying Clan marches tomorrow,” said Ye Chen.

Sheng Kong, the Evil King, was reluctant to deal with Gao Ba, the Demon King. After all, they had crossed paths before. But now that he had promised the Mutant Winged Dragon, he knew Gao Ba had also made the same promise.

Namely, they would both attack Heavenly City together. He didn’t want to lead the charge since the losses are highest for those at the forefront, but since he had already agreed, he knew Gao Ba was thinking the same. Fighting together would be the best way to minimize casualties.

In the end, at the suggestion of Shi Tuo, it was decided to meet Gao Ba and assess his thoughts.

Over the years, Gao Ba had been highly influential in the Demon Domain. Ever since obtaining the Black Demonic Spirit, he has improved his martial arts abilities continually, advancing in levels significantly.

However, in the face of the arrogance of the Mutant Winged Dragon, he had to swallow his pride. After all the strength of the opponent was evident; no matter how skilled he was, he was just one person. The opponent had already unified the Wuji Domain, the South Wasteland, and the Wastelands.

The second-in-command of the Demon Domain, Yin Jue, suggested, “We could take this opportunity to go back to the Central Plains to strengthen our power and reputation by breaking through Heavenly City and subsequently recruit more disciples from the Demon Domain. This could be a good opportunity.”

The third-in-command, Xishan Gui, commented, “The older brother is right, but how many of our disciples will we have to sacrifice? How many people will die? There’s a saying: kill a thousand enemies, and we hurt ourselves eight hundred. It does make sense.”

A furious subordinate said, “Exactly, we consume our forces! Letting the Mutant Winged Dragon take advantage, how is that okay?”

Another person said, “Didn’t Sheng Kong also agree with the Mutant Winged Dragon? Let them lead the attack. When they are exhausted, we will strike. This way, we would have the advantage.”

Xishan Gui laughed and said, “I’m afraid Sheng Kong isn’t stupid enough to let that happen. He might even hope that we charge on ahead, taking most of the beating, and then he’ll come in and take advantage of it.”

“You’re right, Sheng Kong loves to do such things, they’re especially fond of doing it this way.” Someone said.

Yin Jue said, “It seems we have no better plan, to minimize casualties, we can ally with Sheng Kong.”

Gao Ba looked at him and asked, “Join forces with Sheng Kong?”

Yin Jue said, “Yes, haven’t they already promised to attack the Heavenly City with the Mutant Winged Dragon? If we’re all unwilling to charge at the front and keep pushing, we will end up offending the Mutant Winged Dragon. Then nobody will be in a good position. It’s better to join forces with Sheng Kong, it’s another helping hand after all.

Though I’m not fond of Sheng Kong, we can use this opportunity to approach them. If one day the Mutant Winged Dragon turns on us, we can join forces with the Dragon Slaying Clan people, it’s a good backup plan.”

Xishan Gui third brother laughed, “Really, second brother, you’re thinking about joining forces with Sheng Kong. He’s slick, he won’t let you take advantage when it’s good times and when it turns bad, they’re the ones to kick you when you’re down.”

“Ah, the situation now is already in this state, none of us want to offer up what we have. If no one takes the initiative, then is there still a need to attack Heavenly City? How are we going to justify this to the Mutant Winged Dragon? We would have ended up offending them directly!”

Xishan Gui, upon hearing this, had no words to say and nodded.

Yin Jue said, “Ah, it’s been such a long time, having one more friend is always better than one more enemy. Most importantly, with our current strength, capturing the Heavenly City will lead to heavy losses, it is simply not worth it.

In the end, we’re just making it easy for people in the Evil Domain. It’s better to join forces together, it won’t offend the Mutant Winged Dragon’s people. In the future, if the Mutant Winged Dragon really wants to deal with us, we can turn to the people in the Evil Domain, I believe they would understand.”

Gao Ba nodded his head.

Just as they were discussing, a subordinate ran in from the outside, saying, “Sheng Kong and Shi Tuo from the Evil Domain are here, they want to see our boss.”

Gao Ba was taken aback.

Yin Jue said, “It seems he’s here to discuss with us about dealing with Heavenly City.”

Gao Ba nodded his head and shouted, “Let them in.”

Shortly after, Sheng Kong and Shi Tuo entered.

“It’s truly unexpected that we would meet here, I’m surprised.” Gao Ba laughed.

“Probably not unexpected, you should have guessed the purpose of our visit.” Sheng Kong said.

“Most likely here for the Heavenly City matter.”

“Looks like you have guessed it. I bet this matter must be a headache for you guys as well!” Sheng Kong continued, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to mess with that lunatic, the Mutant Winged Dragon. But they’ve now unified the Wuji Domain, the Wastelands, and the South Wastelands, I really don’t want to provoke them.”

“I feel the same, I don’t want to provoke them either.”

“It looks like you’ve also promised them to help attack Heavenly City,” Sheng Kong said.

“Hehe, looks like you’ve also agreed.”

“We have no choice, we really don’t want to anger them.”

“You’re here to discuss with me about attacking the Heavenly City?”

“Yes. Since both you and I have promised the Mutant Winged Dragon to attack Heavenly City, why don’t we join forces together? This way, it’ll be easier and less damaging. After all, it’s the Heavenly City, it has existed for so many years and does have some strength. Now it’s rather empty, and though we have the strength to capture it, we’ll surely suffer heavy losses. It’s better to join forces together, and then the Heavenly City will surely be broken.”

Shi Tuo said, “At that time, we’ll be injured and worn out, yet the fruits of our struggle will go to the others. I think none of us would accept this. Thus joining forces together is something to consider, and at least the damage won’t be too severe.”

Yin Jue nodded at Gao Ba, the Demon King, who then asked, “If we capture Heavenly City, how will the treasures within be divided?”

“Whoever gets them first, they belong to them,” Sheng Kong said.

“Makes sense,” Gao Ba said.

“So, shall the two of us join forces to attack the Heavenly City?”

“Sure.”

“I didn’t expect the Demon King to be this straightforward.”

“We have no choice, since we’ve agreed to the Mutant Winged Dragon, we can’t just do nothing.”

Yin Jue said, “So, when do we attack the Heavenly City?”

Shi Tuo from the Evil Domain looked at Sheng Kong and said, “We must wait until the Mutant Winged Dragon in the Immortal City starts moving. We can’t let others take advantage of us. We must wait for them to make the first move. Only when they have drawn all the people there can we make our move. For us, it’s the best if there are no people from the Immortal City here.”

Yin Jue nodded and said, “Indeed, that’s a good strategy.”
