Chapter 422 - 422 408 Ye Chens Plan

Chapter 422: Chapter 408: Ye Chen’s Plan Chapter 422: Chapter 408: Ye Chen’s Plan Mutant Winged Dragon and his party also speed up to catch up.

Slaughter Saint returns to report: “They’ve increased their speed.”

Mutant Winged Dragon knows they would be looking for a way to escape if they wanted to.

Mitra Monk said: “If they want to shake us off, they would have a plan, they would take an action.”

Mutant Winged Dragon asked: “What do you think their preparations could be?”

Jing Po remarked: “They wouldn’t have too many tactics, just using speed, or splitting up, or using a large group of people to distract us.”

Mutant Winged Dragon listened and smiled slightly.

Zen Master explained: “Unless they have a reliable path to cross over, they won’t dare cross the mountain easily. We’ve sent a Winged Dragon over the mountain, it’s steep. They can cross, but if we destroy some of the road, we can trap them at the top. It would take a day or two to pass without an open route.”

Jing Po immediately suggested: “That’s a good plan! We should let them go up, then cut off their path and trap them on the mountain. Wouldn’t that be even better?”

Zen Master added: “The only question is whether there could be any secret tunnels.”

“That can’t be possible. If there were so many tunnels, those people wouldn’t have needed to climb over the mountain.”

“We have to engage them and see what their next move is. As long as we don’t let them shake us off, we have a chance.”

Mutant Winged Dragon asked: “Mitra Monk, do you think they truly believe they can withdraw safely?”

“As Zen Master stated, if the path is really blocked, it would take an extra day or two for them to cross. Unless they manage to secure that time for themselves — forcing us to delay by a day or two — that’s the only way they could succeed.”

Mutant Winged Dragon nodded and asked: “Zen Master, have you found any suspicious points or discovered anything on this side of Turtle Mountain?”

Zen Master replied: “We may not notice a hundred people, but if the numbers reach thousands, we would surely know. They might hide for a moment but not forever, I can guarantee that.”

“We can’t be careless, I’m unsure what that boy might be planning.”

“Perhaps we are overrating him, he might not be aware of anything.” Jing Po suggested.

Zen Master refuted: “Ye Chen is rather smart, he wouldn’t be careless, he would definitely contemplate the strategy.”

“Zen Master, I know he gave you a hard time, but you don’t need to fear him this much. If they had delayed just a bit yesterday morning, we could have completely surrounded them.” Jing Po stated.

“I wish this were the case. But ever since he teamed up with the people from the Demon Domain, they’ve disrupted our many plans, giving us a lot of trouble. This has never happened before. If he wasn’t there, we would have defeated the Demon Domain several times. But because of him, our plans failed repeatedly. Yesterday, they even preempted us.”

Jing Po defended: “Yesterday, the monsters and the evil beings were useless, unable to hold their front, letting those people escape.”

Zen Master responded: “We can’t really blame them, after all, they were prepared. Who would have expected them to launch a surprise attack, from both front and back, on the monsters and evil beings? It was a premeditated plan.”

Mitra Monk said: “I don’t think it was premeditated, they may have discovered the situation suddenly. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to burst out through the encirclement when we were about to surround them.”

Jing Po said: “We should not discuss this any further, it is pointless.”

Zen Master explained: “All I want to say is, it’s hard to guess what Ye Chen is thinking, his ideas could change at any moment, it’s very difficult to know his true intent.”

“They don’t know what we’re thinking either.”

“In either case, they wouldn’t just rely on luck. Whatever he does, there must be a reason. If he truly decided to cross through Fish Scale Valley, he must be confident that it’s the right move. We know the danger of Fish Scale Valley, if we use Winged Dragon to destroy the uphill path, they could possibly be trapped on the top of the mountain for a day or two. If we can see this, they can too, especially Ye Chen.”

“Do you think you are making him sound too formidable?” Jing Po dismissed.

Zen Master continued: “Perhaps I am somewhat over-anxious, but from my understanding of him, he is quite unpredictable, bold in his thoughts, clear-minded and even-tempered. He is definitely more composed than Qiao Fanfeng. I am convinced that they probably discovered this a day before the breakout.”

“Should it have been Qiao Fanfeng instead, he would have panicked much earlier. But not Ye Chen, he waited until the following day, taking advantage of the mist to break through the siege. We totally did not react in time, by the time we realized what was happening, it was already too late.”

Mutant Winged Dragon stayed silent.

Jing Po asked: “So what are you trying to tell us with all this?”

“If Ye Chen truly means to head to Fish Scale Valley, they will definitely come up with a way to prevent us from trapping them on the mountain. He won’t put himself in danger.”

Mutant Winged Dragon remained silent.

Mitra Monk concluded: “If what Zen Master is saying is true, then either they are not headed to Fish Scale Valley, or they already have a plan to shake us off.”

“I’m just guessing, but I think that’s Ye Chen as I know him. He’s that sort of person. He can sometimes be careless, but he’s indeed a formidable opponent,” the Zen Master said.

Mutant Winged Dragon said: “You must all watch him closely for me, with no mistakes allowed, absolutely none.” He found the Zen Master’s words to be quite on point, and just as he imagined.

Mutant Winged Dragon went on: “Alright, you all catch up. Zen Master, you and Mitra Monk stay with me.”

The three of them continued on their way.

Mutant Winged Dragon asked: “What would you do if you were Ye Chen?”

Ze Master replied: “It’s hard to guess. If I could, I wouldn’t have been repeatedly beaten by him.”

“Don’t be so humble. You’re capable, able to analyze Ye Chen calmly.”

“Heh, he doesn’t play by the rules.”

“Not playing by the rules, but there is a method to his madness.” Mutant Winged Dragon said.

“Although he doesn’t adhere to the norm, he doesn’t act hastily until it’s necessary. Moreover, he doesn’t recklessly take risks,” said the Zen Master.

“With your analysis, I’m doubting myself,” Mutant Winged Dragon said modestly.

It was rare for the two of them to hear Mutant Winged Dragon talking like this, as if he had met his match. Mutant Winged Dragon had never conceded, even his first carefully crafted plan was destroyed by Ye Chen, frightening off Gao Ba and his accomplices. How could he not have a headache?

Mitra Monk added: “I can’t guess either. His ideas are wild, he knows our vulnerabilities, so he can go for the jugular.”

“So where is our current weakness?” Mutant Winged Dragon asked.

…

Ye Chen rested under a tree. It was a warm day and the scorching sun heated the ground. Though it was only April, it felt like the summer months of June or July.

The cicadas persistently clamored as they urinated everywhere, making people think it was raining. Their incessant noise disturbed any chance of a nap as they seemed to think their song was enchanting.

Jiang Zhuge and Can Mo came over with some food. The area was quite cool, on a small hillside with few trees. The wind had found an exit from the valley, squeezing and gusting on this side.

Ye Chen heard footsteps and opened his eyes.

Exhausted, Can Mo and Jiang Zhuge took a seat next to Ye Chen and handed him the food.

Already aware of Ye Chen’s plan, Jiang Zhuge asked: “Ye Chen, is there anything else you’re worried about?”

Ye Chen grabbed a piece of grilled meat, took a bite and said: “We need to make some noise.”

Can Mo asked: “Why?”

“Because we have to make the Dragon Slaying Clan believe we’ve found a way to cross Fish Scale Valley.”

“Is that important?” Can Mo asked.

“Think about it, who’s in command on our side now?”

“Of course, you.”

“And on the Dragon Slaying Clan’s side?”

“Of course, it’s your father Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“Is Mutant Winged Dragon a smart man?”

“More than smart, he’s also suspicious.”

Ye Chen immediately said: “Right, suspicious. What do you think he’s pondering right now?”

“Of course, how to stop us.”

“I think he’s more eager to guess what I’m thinking,” Ye Chen said.

Can Mo nodded, saying: “Hmm, that’s true. As our leader, he definitely wants to know what you’re thinking.”

“So, what am I thinking?”

“Wanting to surround them.”

“Can he guess that?”

Can Mo shook his head, saying: “If he could guess, what would be the use of our plan?”

“Yes, he didn’t guess that I want to surround them. So, what did he guess?”

“Can you stop taking me in circles? I’m a bit confused by what you’re saying.”
