Chapter 383 - 383 370 The Eve of Danger in Immortal City

Chapter 383: Chapter 370: The Eve of Danger in Immortal City Chapter 383: Chapter 370: The Eve of Danger in Immortal City News of Mutant Winged Dragon’s actions that the Dragon Slaying Clan was soon to attack Immortal City spread rapidly.

At dusk, it was learned from the disciples of the Immortal City Sect that Mutant Winged Dragon was planning to ally with the Demon and Evil realms to attack Heavenly City.

Zhan Ze originally speculated that they were more likely to attack Heavenly City and align with the Demon and Evil realms, because by doing so their numbers would instantly more than double, greatly increasing their chances. But, on their journey to Immortal City, they failed to find any trace of them, despite diligent vigilance.

Zhan Ze asked his subordinate, “How many from the Dragon Slaying Clan have been identified?”

“We estimate at least four thousand, based on our intelligence,” the subordinate answered.

Upon hearing this, Haotian responded, “That adds up, excluding the monks under Zen Master, the Dragon Slaying Clan would have just over four thousand members.”

Yuan Jingxing added, “Therefore, their target should be allied with the Demon and Evil realms and aiming to attack Heavenly City.”

Zhan Ze continued, “With the Demon and Evil realms allied, Elder Qiao and Guo Mingyu won’t stand a chance, their forces are simply not sufficient.”

Ren Xiongbei nodded in agreement, casting a glance at Ye Chen.

“No need to question it, their target must be Heavenly City. The alliance with the Demon and Evil realms’ forces will strike Heavenly City. We should head towards Heavenly City,” Haotian suggested.

Ye Chen replied, “We can’t be certain at this stage.”

Unconvinced, Haotian responded, “How can we not be certain? Our forces haven’t found anything here whilst the location of the Dragon Slaying Clan’s over four thousand members has already been confirmed to be at Heavenly City, isn’t that enough proof? They’re in Heavenly City while we’re chasing shadows. He thinks that now he’s the Alliance Leader, he can dictate everything!”

Li Mo interjected, “Last time, you all thought they were going to escape via the sea, until we became fools tweaked by the four thousand pseudo-disciples.”

The subordinate explained, “This time is different, our forces have already discovered their attack, unequivocally confirming the presence of the Dragon Slaying Clan. It includes Mutant Winged Dragon and Slaughter Saint among others, who divided into two groups advancing rapidly towards Heavenly City. They tried to sidestep our forces but were ultimately discovered. Tonight, they will meet their allies, the people from Demon and Evil realms. If we don’t hurry, Heavenly City may be doomed.”

Hearing this Zhan Ze grew worried, “Elder Qiao and his allies who went earlier definitely have fewer numbers. Coupled with the Dragon Slaying Clan’s alliance with the Demon and Evil realms, I am worried they are at a huge disadvantage. We should change our direction lest they get surrounded by the Dragon Slaying Clan and their allies.”

Ren Xiongbei began to waver, feeling that Zhan Ze’s words made sense.

Zhan Ze added, “We do not have much time left. We have been receiving constant reports from Immortal City’s disciples on our way back, but none indicated anything unusual. They wouldn’t split their forces, only a fool would take such a disadvantageous measure. But Mutant Winged Dragon did just that, so could this be a feint?”

Ren Xiongbei asked, “Are we sure that people from the Demon and Evil realms are still in the area of Heavenly City?”

“We are. They have been spotted. They would soon rendezvous with the Dragon Slaying Clan. At this point, Heavenly City is in grave danger.”

Ren Xiongbei said, “We should head towards Heavenly City. If they form an alliance, I fear our forces won’t be sufficient to face them.”

Jiang Zhuge did believe their assumption but what they didn’t know was that Mitra Monk, on his way to Immortal City this time, had already made sufficient preparations during their last operation. They had already figured out the route and even prepared disguises as common laborers to avoid detection, especially in highly populated areas, which was almost impossible for anyone from their realm to discover easily.

Ye Chen was starting to feel uneasy.

Haotian declared loudly, “Hey, what’s there to fuss about? If we don’t go now, not only will Heavenly City be lost, but our elder will be ambushed. Then it will be too late even if we want to escape, it will be disastrous then.”

Zhan Ze reasoned, “They won’t voluntarily divide their forces. They are thirsting to bite a big chunk off us and then deal with the rest. If we split up now, we provide them with the chance they need.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded on hearing this.

Yu Yun added, “Yes, they might have set a trap for Elder Qiao and others. They could know that we might split our forces, intentionally using Heavenly City as bait to force us into dividing our forces to save Heavenly City, and then wipe out a major part of us.”

Finally, Ye Chen was swayed. Understanding the urgency of the situation, he suggested, “Let’s do this. Elder Ren, our disciples from the Immortal City Sect will head towards Heavenly City to reinforce them and you can return to Immortal City.”

“Why so!” Ren Haotian wanted to curse at Ye Chen who was being overly suspicious.

Ye Chen wasn’t completely at ease, but he believed that as long as he led the disciples of New City Sect, without getting entangled in a fight to the death, and utilized the advantage of being on their home turf in Central Plains, he could keep the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Demon and Evil realms entangled at least. He was more worried this might be a part of a bigger conspiracy.

Ren Xiongbei glanced at Ye Chen, Ye Chen said, “Rest assured, I will rush over as soon as possible. You all head back to Immortal City and see what’s happening there,” He was still significantly worried.

Ren Xiongbei replied, “You might be overthinking things.”

“Let’s be cautious. We have enough people going over, when the time comes, we should be able to handle them.” He viewed the safety of Immortal City as the top priority.

Ren Xiongbei finally nodded.

Ye Chen’s group immediately set off for Heavenly City that night.

Yu Yun followed suit.

Li Mo questioned, “Could this be a trap set by them?”

“I don’t know.” Ye Chen replied.

They continued their journey throughout the first half of the night and found a valley to rest during the latter half.

Ye Chen couldn’t sleep that night.

Jiang Zhuge knew that Ye Chen was worried and said, “Do not worry, I too believe they will not act separately.”

Ye Chen had set a fire ahead and looked at Jiang Zhuge.

“If they split up, it would weaken their combat power. The Demon and Evil realms are both siding with the Heavenly City right now. If they team up together, they can put up a fight against all the disciples of the Immortal and Demon realm and us.”

Ye Chen said: “I understand what you mean. However, the Mutant Winged Dragon loves to do things out of convention.”

Jiang Zhuge said: “What we need to be careful now is not to fall into the ambush of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ye Chen just barely nodded his head in agreement.

“It seems the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan are going to ally with those from the Demon and Evil realms completely.”

Mutant Winged Dragon met with Demon King Gao Ba and Evil King Sheng Kong. After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Ba realized there were not as many underlings from the Dragon Slaying Clan as expected, at most there were only about two thousand. He asked: “Wasn’t it said that you had four thousand men?”

Mutant Winged Dragon laughed: “We have four thousand men when we are teamed up with you. Isn’t that enough to take down Heavenly City?”

Gao Ba nodded. It seemed that the Mutant Winged Dragon had other targets. He added: “Are you also planning to take down the Immortal City?”

“That’s the plan.”

“I see.”

“We are enough. What do you think of this Fang Ziren?” To make the people of the Immortal and Demon realms believe that everyone from the Dragon Slaying Clan has come over this way, today’s Mutant Winged Dragon was kept very busy. Changing his strategies continuously, stirring up true and false rumors alternately. He crafted a mix of truths and lies to deceive everyone and make them believe it’s all true.

“I think he’s no match for Guo Mingyu and Su Hong.”

Xishan Gui said: “But I know that both Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu’s men are coming over this way.”

“The Heavenly City Sect lacks steadiness. Trust me, we can take it down in less than a day, before the people from the Immortal and Demon realms can arrive.”

Gao Ba took a glance at Sheng Kong.

“Can’t you even be a little confident?” The Mutant Winged Dragon continued: “We can lead the charge, you follow and what we gain would still belong to the people of the Demon and Evil realms.”

Sheng Kong saw this as an opportunity, he said: “Let’s discuss that later.” He was still worried that once the Heavenly City was taken down, the Dragon Slaying Clan would turn against them.

Gao Ba also said: “Yes, if we help you take down the Immortal and Demon realms, and then later you turn against us and unify us under your command, wouldn’t we be seeking our own death?”

Mutant Winged Dragon immediately got the point and said: “We can discuss this, I swear I will absolutely not do such a thing.”

Sheng Kong responded: “We better clear this up while we have time tonight.”

After hearing this, the Mutant Winged Dragon said: “Alright, tonight, we can indeed have a good discussion. You can tell us what you think.”

Gao Ba and Sheng Kong then followed the Mutant Winged Dragon to his tent.

…

Ren Xiongbei received a pigeon letter each from Crane City and the Immortal City. The contents were simple, it stated that there were no incidents and nothing suspicious found.

Ren Haotian said: “Damn this Ye Chen, isn’t this overkill!” At this moment, they had already separated from the New City Sect. The thought of Ye Chen making them return to nothing made him furious.

Ren Xiongbei turned to Su Zhanze to ask: “Zhanze, what do you think?”

“I also think that it is overkill, completely unnecessary. We rushed back here for nothing.”

Ren Xiongbei’s son, Ren Haotian, said: “How could we listen to a man who’s always suspecting things and believe his words? This guy makes decisions solely based on his intuition, such a country bumpkin.”

Zhan Ze just gave a cold smile.

“Don’t you think my words are exactly right? This guy makes decisions mainly through his suspicion and intuition.”

Yuan Jingxing said: “But he predicted that the Dragon Slaying Clan could be fake fleeing.”

Zhan Ze said: “He also said we might be ambushed. He just guesses and occasionally gets it right.”

“Being cautious, is a good thing.”

Haotian said: “Cautious? Aren’t we cautious enough now! We’ve received news from Crane City and Immortal City, we’ve even contacted our branch there. They didn’t find anything suspicious, they didn’t even find any dubious characters. What is there to worry about? I think there’s completely no need to go back to Immortal City, it’s just a waste of trip.”

Zhan Ze said: “What I am most worried about now is that the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Demon and Evil Realms will join forces. Guo Mingyu and the others are not their match.”

Haotian also said: “Yes, I guess there will be a major decisive battle on the side of the Heavenly City Sect. We don’t have any issues on this side. If we run straight back to the Immortal City, it will not make sense at all!”

Ren Xiongbei also gave it a thought.
