Chapter 436 - 436 422 At a Loss

Chapter 436: Chapter 422: At a Loss Chapter 436: Chapter 422: At a Loss The sky was already dark, and they had reached the foot of the mountain.

Except for Jiang Ouyang and Lou Xuancheng, who had already returned to Demon Palace City.

Guo Mingyu and his group didn’t hurry to return; they were waiting for Ye Chen.

They finally made it past.

At this moment, people were worried, discussing amongst themselves.

Ye Chen had met Guo Mingyu who thanked him, after all, he saved his daughter. Qiao Fanfeng came up to him and seemed to share the same concern; he knew the situation had become rather serious.

Qiao Fanfeng said, “It’s been confirmed that the Dragon Slayer Clan won’t be coming from this side. They’re heading towards Turtle Mountain.”

Guan Yi said, “It seems we can’t prevent them from coming our side. Even if we could stop them for a while, we can’t hold them forever, they are bound to come.”

Fang Ziren said, “We better think of a solution quickly.”

Ren Xiongbei said, “How could something like this happen? Don’t you realize the importance of Jade Ring!” He seemed to reproach them.

Ye Chen, blaming himself said, “It’s my responsibility.”

Guo Mingyu knew that Ye Chen had no other option and blamed his daughter: “It’s all because of my daughter.”

“All our efforts are wasted,” Ren Xiongbei reproached.

“Yes, how could this happen, it’s like child’s play,” Ren Haotian said.

Li Mo interjected, “Are we supposed to abandon Yu Yun and let her die?”

Ren Xiongbei replied, “Since we knew the importance of the Jade Ring, we should have been more careful.”

Li Mo defended Ye Chen, “How were we supposed to know that some of the Dragon Slayer Clan would be hiding in the woods waiting to ambush us?” He didn’t like the guys from the Immortal City Sect.

Ren Xiongbei was at a loss for words.

“In any case, what happened, happened. There is no fault of ours. If it were you all, could you have done it, watching a young girl use a sword to kill Yu Yun?” Li Mo knew that they had been wanting to blame his Sect Leader.

Qiao Fanfeng quickly said, “Ren wasn’t implying that…”

Li Mo knew that was precisely what Ren Xiongbei meant. He didn’t like Ren Xiongbei or his son.

Fang Ziren said, “Let’s not dwell on this. We should focus on the next steps. What should we do? They’re definitely coming to Demon Palace.”

Guan Yi added, “After all, they have lost a lot of people. Even though the Dragon Slayer Sword has recovered its power, it doesn’t mean they can defeat us using it.”

Ren Xiongbei coldly remarked, “Then we must find a way to deal with the Dragon Slayer Sword. Who can resist the power of the Dragon Slayer Sword now? Ye Chen no longer has the Jade Ring, and the Dragon Slayer Sword has recovered its power. Who can resist?”

“Regardless, we must return to Demon Palace City. Demon Palace City is all we have left.” Liu Yunzhi continued, “If we can’t beat the Dragon Slayer Clan in Demon Palace City, defeating them anywhere else will be more difficult.”

At the moment, Demon Palace City still has some resources, but whether it can withstand the Dragon Slayer Clan and verify the Dragon Slayer Sword held by the Mutant Winged Dragon is questionable.

Fang Ziren said, “Anyway, the battle is inevitable. We can’t just run away before it even starts. Being based in Demon Palace City will be advantageous for us, isn’t it obvious?”

That was what Qiao Fanfeng also meant, “Yes, they are planning to come here; they want a decisive battle. We must return to Demon Palace City and face them there.”

Ren Xiongbei asked, “So we’re back to the original problem. How do we face the Dragon Slayer Sword? Who can withstand it? Will the defense system work?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Guo Mingyu.

Guo Mingyu said, “Actually, I don’t know either. The Demon Palace has some powerful treasures, but I don’t know if they can resist the Dragon Slayer Sword. I have never seen the true power of the Dragon Slayer sword. The one who was most familiar with it among us was our senior brother Su, but he’s already dead.”

Qiao Fanfeng also hadn’t seen the true power of the Dragon Slayer Sword. He said, “There’s no point in overthinking this. We can’t give up before the battle has even begun.”

Fang Ziren shouted, “That’s right, how can we possibly give up before the battle has even begun? The realm of Immortals and Demons is not made of cowards.”

“Whatever the future holds, we must all unite and fight the Dragon Slayer Clan together. We will confront them in Demon Palace City. Any issues that arise, we will deal with then and there.”

“How can we let a mere sword defeat us?” said Fang Ziren.

Ren Xiongbei said, “Ha, you better come up with a solution before speaking so confidently.”

“After all, we either survive or die with the realm of Immortals and Demons. I can’t just flee without even fighting. Even if we have to die, it will be an honorable death.”

Ye Chen blamed himself deeply as everything had happened because of him.

Soon everyone dispersed.

Qiao Fanfeng said, “Ye Chen, don’t think too much. My junior brother Ren was just speaking hastily, he did not mean to blame you.”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly. The last thing he would do is overthink. For him, nothing else mattered now. The only thing he wanted was to find a way to make up for the mistakes he had made.

Actually, he could understand their resentment. He had indeed been too negligent. He was responsible, now that the situation was so severe, if no one blamed him, he would blame himself even more. This was about the survival of the realm of Immortals and Demons.

Li Mo said, “Ye Chen, how can they do this?”

Ye Chen asked, “What?”

“How dare they shift the blame onto you?”

“I failed to realize the severity of the situation; I am undeniably responsible.” Just think about it. They had finally gained an advantage with great difficulty, and suddenly due to his mistake, he didn’t know how many lives would be lost because of it.

“They can’t say that. They don’t understand the situation at the time.”

“Yes, they indeed do not understand what happened then, but I was indeed not calm enough,” Ye Chen continued to say, “I always felt that I was not fit to be an Alliance Leader.”

Yu Yun, who was walking by, heard their conversation. She knew that some people had just reproached Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen quickly turned and walked away.

Yu Yun stood still on the spot, not moving for a long time. Normally, she’s cheerful and carefree, but now she understood the severity of the situation.

Yu Yun went to find her father.

Of course, Guo Mingyu knew about what had happened.

Yu Yun spoke in self-blame, “Father, is there really no way to remedy this?”

“Yun’er, don’t worry over this,” Guo Mingyu knew it wasn’t Yu Yun’s fault and blaming anyone was pointless. What happened had happened, there’s no use going over it now.

Yu Yun started crying, “Father, will many people die because of me?”

“Hey, Yun’er, you can’t think like that, no one wanted this to happen.”

“But, it was because of your daughter that this happened.”

“Regardless of whether this happened or not, even if the Mutant Winged Dragon didn’t get the Jade Ring, it would have found other ways. Our decisive battle is inevitable, there’s no way to avoid it. They might find another solution on Dragon Slayer Island.”

He was trying to make Yu Yun feel better.

“You don’t have to comfort me, I know how serious this is.”

“Yun’er, my lovely daughter, you really shouldn’t be thinking about all this,” Guo Mingyu expressed his concern, “How’s the wound on your neck?”

“If the people of Demon Palace City die because of me, I’d rather they hadn’t saved me.”

“Hey, why would you think like that?” Guo Mingyu embraced his crying daughter.

Guo Mingyu added, “There must be a way, there must be.”

For Ye Chen, if he could’ve made a trade then, he would rather trade himself for that little girl, instead of giving her the Jade Ring. But there are no if’s.

“Ye Chen, stop thinking about it,” Li Mo said.

“Alright, you can go back to your duties, I want some quiet.”

Ye Chen walked away.

Feeling helpless once again, he ventured into the woods, where the Red Demonic Spirit appeared.

Ye Chen asked, “What should I do?”

“Heh, do you really need to ask? Clear your mind and do what you can do now.”

“I feel like I can’t do anything now.”

“Don’t give up so easily.”

“I really can’t do anything. As for martial arts, when I had the Jade Ring, I could at least put up a fight. Now that I don’t have the Jade Ring, I am no match for the Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“Is that what you should be thinking about?” the Red Demonic Spirit retorted.

“Then what should I think about?”

“Don’t think about anything, don’t burden yourself. Do what you think is right. Do you think you’re nothing without the Jade Ring?”

“I feel like I can’t do anything, I’m useless.”

“Heh, that is not for you to think about,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen was suddenly transported back to the past, unable to believe that five years had already passed.

“It seems I’m still as irrational as ever,” Ye Chen said.

“Who can claim to always be rational? If a person is completely rational without any emotions, what’s the fun in that?”

“But the mistake I made was too big, bigger than I ever imagined.”

“Stop thinking about it, let it go, don’t burden yourself, address the issues as they come.”

“Yes, I want to, but right now, I really have no clue.”

“Perhaps, you’re making it more complicated than it is. Maybe once you get to Demon Palace City, you could think of a solution.”

“Heh, that’s all I can hope for now,” said Ye Chen.

“Anyway, if it were up to me, I would have given the Jade Ring to them as well,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little better.

“I could not just stand by and watch her be killed like that.”

“It seems that neither of us can accomplish great things,” Ye Chen sighed.
