Chapter 373 - 373 360 The Clash of Su Zhanze

Chapter 373: Chapter 360: The Clash of Su Zhanze Chapter 373: Chapter 360: The Clash of Su Zhanze Ye Chen began to sense that Zhan Ze and the others seemed to have come prepared.

When Zhan Ze voiced that Ye Chen was not the best choice.

Fang Ziren said, “If not Ye Chen, then is there anyone else here who is a more suitable candidate?”

Surely aware that Ye Chen had helped Fang Ziren, Zhan Ze said, “It is rumored that Ye Chen is the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon. If this is true, would it be appropriate to have him be the Alliance Leader against his own father?”

Fang Ziren laughed, “Certainly a baseless rumor.”

Zhan Ze also laughed and remarked, “But these rumors wouldn’t spread for no reason. There is some basis to them.”

Ren Haotian added, “Indeed, why isn’t it rumored that I or Zhan Ze are the Mutant Winged Dragon’s son?”

Guo Mingyu responded, “Their aim is to sow discord among us, to influence us, hence the rumor.”

Zhan Ze looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Ye Chen, is this true?”

Guan Yi stated, “We must verify this. I am worried, too.”

“There’s no smoke without fire”, commented Zhan Ze, “in my opinion, the person involved knows the truth best. Today we should clarify this.”

Qiao Fanfeng said, “Zhan Ze, our priority today is to discuss how to confront the Dragon Slaying Clan, instead of dwelling on Ye Chen’s origins.”

Su Zhanze replied, “There is a definite need for clarity if Ye Chen is to be our Alliance Leader. Regardless of whether the leader must hail from the Immortal and Demon Domains, we should consider his capabilities.”

With attention grasped by Zhan Ze’s words, a discussion began among the crowd.

Zhan Ze continued, “I don’t mean to single out anyone. Yet this is a crucial matter that demands clarification.”

Haotian echoed, “Indeed, it is best to ask the person involved.”

All eyes turned towards Ye Chen, who never intended to hide. He didn’t crave the title of Alliance Leader, and believed that Zhan Ze had meticulously prepared for this eventuality. He didn’t see becoming the Alliance Leader as the only way to help the people of Immortal and Demon Domains.

Ye Chen acknowledged, “It’s true, I am the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon. I am from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Upon Ye Chen’s confession, the room fell into a vigorous debate, with some struggling to believe the revelation.

Qiao Fanfeng hadn’t expected Ye Chen to admit his identity. Ye Chen knew that denial would only result in bigger trouble when the truth was exposed, hence he admitted the truth.

“Did you all hear him?” Haotian exclaimed excitedly, “He just admitted it himself!”

“Even if Ye Chen is the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon, I still trust him,” Fang Ziren declared. “Based on his recent actions, capabilities, and martial arts skills, he is the most eligible for the position of Alliance Leader.”

Ren Haotian retorted, “His actions and skills don’t diminish the fact that Ye Chen is indeed the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon.”

Guo Mingyu interjected, “We’ve all observed Ye Chen’s capabilities, and he has never hesitated to oppose the Mutant Winged Dragon. More importantly, he timely intervened when Sect Leader Su was injured, potentially saving Immortal City from a huge crisis.”

Unfazed, Zhan Ze questioned, “Alright, but when the time comes to kill his own father, will he have the heart to do so? Even if we one day manage to surround the Mutant Winged Dragon, there is the possibility that he might let his father escape.”

Guan Yi agreed, “Moreover, the Mutant Winged Dragon is cunning and could exploit this situation to manipulate Ye Chen.”

Ye Chen conceded, “Indeed, I am not fit to be an Alliance Leader. May another leader emerge from the inhabitants of Immortal and Demon Domains.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Haotian exclaimed, “He admits it himself, what more is there to say?”

Both Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu were taken aback by this unexpected resolution.

Wan Shatong proposed, “Who among us can be our new Alliance Leader then?”

Guo Mingyu suggested, “What about Qiao,” signifying his acceptance of the group’s objection to having Ye Chen as their leader.

But Brother Qiao retorted, “Guo, you yourself are the master of the Demon Palace.”

“You have more experience than me, so you can be the Alliance Leader,” Guo Mingyu replied.

Soon they were caught in a session of back-and-forth courtesies. It was finally Guan Yi who suggested, “Let’s have Brother Qiao.” Qiao Fanfeng was older and more experienced.

Guo Mingyu responded, “True, I’ll just assist.”

Surprisingly, they all promptly concurred on Qiao Fanfeng being the new Alliance Leader unanimously, stunning Zhan Ze. He had initially thought Guo Mingyu would become the Alliance Leader. But to his surprise, Qiao Fanfeng became the new Alliance Leader. Qiao Haoyu was extremely pleased at that moment, as though he had found some treasure. Obviously, he wished for his father to be the Alliance Leader.

Su Zhanze had nothing else to say. He found no reason to refuse.

Qiao Fanfeng’s role as Alliance Leader soon became a reality.

“Alright, now let’s discuss our plans,” Ren Xiongbei said, more concerned about how to proceed, particularly with dealing with the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Someone proposed, “We cannot allow them to escape back to Dragon Slayer Island, they must be eradicated within Central Plains.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We must not let them escape,” another added.

“We indeed need a thorough plan. Letting these people flee will definitely cause troubles in the future. We never know when they may return to Central Plains,” Guan Yi advised.

“We will inevitably have to deal with it at some point. With our current momentum, it’s the perfect time to take them on. We cannot miss such a good opportunity. We should unite and take advantage while we have a leader and their Mutant Winged Dragon is injured. Capture them and keep them from leaving Central Plains,” he added.

Hearing this, Ye Chen urgently interjected, “We must deal with this matter cautiously. It’s still uncertain whether Mutant Winged Dragon is seriously injured. We must not fall for their tricks.”

“How is that possible? The other day, all of us saw Mutant Winged Dragon severely injured. Now is a good opportunity to deal with them. If we don’t take this chance, when will we?” Haotian retorted.

“I’m respectfully suggesting this might be a scheme to lure us out,” Ye Chen explained.

“Everything can’t be a scheme,” Ren Haotian disagreed irritably.

“I’m simply advising everyone to be more cautious.”

“That’s hard to say, perhaps you don’t want us to capture Mutant Winged Dragon. After all, he is your father and you wouldn’t want him to die at our hands.”

Hearing this, Li Mo became anxious and chided, “What nonsense are you talking about? For the sake of dealing with the Mutant Winged Dragon and vanquishing the Demon God, our Sect Leader even sacrificed Red Demonic Spirit. And you still suspect us of selfish motives?”

“Haotian, apologize to Ye Chen immediately,” Ren Xiongbei ordered.

Seeing his father grow agitated, Ren Haotian reluctantly apologized, “I’m sorry, I went too far, I shouldn’t have spoken like that.”

“No worries,” Ye Chen responded, lowering his head, appearing a bit embarrassed.

Then Li Mo spoke again, “The New City Sect has been helping you, yet you still suspect us. What else can we say? Sect Leader, let’s leave.”

“Don’t leave. You must stay. Haotian indeed misspoke earlier,” Qiao Fanfeng pleaded.

Ye Chen finally said, “I only want everyone to calm down. I know you want to annihilate the Dragon Slaying Clan, but we should first confirm if the news is true or not. Whether the Dragon Slaying Clan really wants to flee, or if it’s a deception. Crucially, though we’ve vanquished the Demon God, the Dragon Slaying Clan has not suffered significant casualties. We must not underestimate them.”

“Right, Ye Chen is correct, we should be more cautious,” Ren Xiongbei quickly agreed.

Ye Chen knew some people here didn’t trust him completely, but that didn’t bother him. He only wished to do what he could, without becoming angry.

“It’s not difficult to find out,” Zhan Ze said. “There are so many disciples in the Immortal and Demon domains. Dispatch some, and we can easily clarify their intentions.”

However, Ye Chen retorted, “Their intentions won’t be so easily discerned. If they openly revealed their plans, then how could they retaliate against us?”

“So we’re helpless!”

“Not necessarily. But we should prepare for the worst, like, if they have other motives.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Ze argued, “I am worried that if we hesitate, we will miss this golden opportunity and let the Dragon Slaying Clan escape. Later, shall we head to Dragon Slayer Island? We won’t have an advantage at sea like the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“That’s true, but we should still be cautious,” Ye Chen said.

“We need to be measured in our caution. We can’t deny that your caution has helped us avoid many troubles recently, but this time, I don’t think it’s necessary. The Dragon Slaying Clan has been killing in Immortal City for days, they must be very tired and exhausted. Their momentum is not what it was. Besides, Mutant Winged Dragon is injured, seriously injured. Our momentum is rising. This contrasting situation clearly benefits us,” argued Zhan Ze.

Some people cheered, “That’s right! We absolutely cannot let them escape.”
