Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 496 - 496 482

Chapter 496: 482 Chapter 496: 482 Mu Wanlan continued, “All of that isn’t important. What is crucial is whether you and Ye Chen are a good match.”

Ling’er continued, “I think you just want to conveniently drop me as a burden. You’ve been pretending to be so kind, but it seems like you have other plans.”

“Well, even if I do have other steps in mind, you should be able to understand!”

Ling’er responded with a light smile.

“Ye Chen has a lot on his plate. The situation in Wasteland City is still unclear, and I heard that Jiang Zhuge is now under siege. It’s a headache. Ever since your father brought him into the New City Sect, he hasn’t experienced a moment of peace. He just eradicated his real father out of righteousness, but the Wastelands had another incident, and you continue to be disobedient. He’s human too, you know, he gets tired.”

Ling’er gave her a glance, but she couldn’t deny the accuracy of her analysis.

“For a young man, carrying such a burden isn’t easy. Most would have buckled and run away by now. Many would be crushed under this pressure. Yet he treats you so well, and you respond by giving him nothing but sour faces. How could he bear it!”

“Stop brainwashing me here, I know you’re on his side.”

“What does being on his side have to do with it? What matters is that he genuinely wants to treat you well. That’s the most important thing, we have to be reasonable.”

“And now you’re saying that I’m unreasonable!” Ling’er continued munching her grapes.

Ye Chen was called over by Li Mo.

Li Mo handed a letter he just received to Ye Chen.

“It seems like the situation is quite urgent,” Li Mo said.

The letter outlined the situation in Wasteland City, how they were trapped, the possibility of not being able to break out, and how long they could hold on.

Li Mo added, “If our letter to them is delayed, Jiang Zhuge might abandon Wasteland City.”

Ye Chen also realized the urgency of the situation.

“Who would have thought that the damned Xiao Bai had a backup plan. The secret tunnels must have been dug by him when he was in the Wastelands. How wicked of him to use poison! How did we not realize that he could stoop so low!” Li Mo angrily said.

However, Ye Chen was considering something else.

Guan Yi asked, “Wouldn’t it be dangerous if they can’t break out now?”

Li Mo replied, “Jiang Zhuge is trying to create an opportunity for us. Gua Zhengnie and the rest are not aware we have brought people from Xiandemon into the mix. Zhuge hopes to hold Xiao Bai’s gang off. Their assault on Wasteland City is their second attempt, they must have relocated a significant amount of resources for this.”

“Then, we should hurry over and assist Jiang Zhuge’s team. Otherwise, they won’t be able to hold on for long,” Guan Yi said.

“No, we’re not going to Wasteland City,” Ye Chen continued. “Going directly there wouldn’t have a great impact since we are short of manpower.”

Li Mo added, “If the Sect Leader is thinking of attacking Wei to save Zhao, then attacking Tianle City would be the best option.”

“We’re not attacking Tianle City, we’re attacking Sky Domain City.”

“What? Sky Domain City? But we don’t have a large army, and Gua Zhengnie is stationed there.”

Ye Chen said, “Didn’t you just say it? They attacked Wasteland City recently without sufficient preparation, and they’ve clearly dispatched more people this time.”

“True. But we still don’t have many people, and Gua Zhengnie is in Sky Domain City,” Li Mo added.

“Haha, you’re only seeing one side of the coin. Gua Zhengnie may be in Sky Domain City, but if we attacked Tianle City, Gua Zhengnie may not feel threatened enough to respond. However, if we were to attack Sky Domain City, it would be a whole different story. After all, he is the Alliance Leader to the Third Demon. What would he do once we hurt him?”

“He would definitely call Xiao Bai back to save him.”

“Exactly. Despite being an Alliance Leader, Gua Zhengnie isn’t very smart. If we hit him hard, he would definitely have Xiao Bai return to his aid. That’s exactly what we want. The only advantage we have now is that he doesn’t know Guan Yi and Liu Yunzhi are helping us. We can use this to take them by surprise,” Ye Chen analyzed seriously.

Li Mo nodded and agreed, “Ah, it seems my consideration was incomplete. But now that you’ve mentioned this, I have more confidence.”

Ye Chen then added, “Jiang Zhuge must have seen this, which is why he’s not in a hurry to leave. He’s trying to stall Xiao Bai and buy us time. However, the situation is urgent. We must enter the Wastelands as soon as possible or else our good plans may also fail.” At the same time, he was torn. With just over three hundred people, could they really attack Sky Domain City? He wasn’t sure. How long could Jiang Zhuge’s team hold on? He also didn’t know. At this point, he felt like he was taking a big gamble.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right,” Li Mo agreed.

But Guan Yi pointed out, “The only thing is, we don’t know whether Gua Zhengnie knows you’re coming.”

“He should know. This isn’t our first engagement,” Ye Chen replied.

“Then he should also know how many people you’re bringing.”

“He does, but he probably doesn’t know you’ll be joining me in the Wastelands.”

“Would he send someone to kill you?”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately became anxious. The case with Lang Ji was still fresh in his mind. He said, “Right, you must be careful. Your story has already spread throughout the Wastelands. He very likely wouldn’t want you to return.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen simply laughed lightly.

“Don’t laugh. What happened with Lang Ji is a good indication. You need to be careful,” Li Mo said.

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Got it.” He actually hoped someone would come for him; otherwise, he would be put in a rather passive position.

Guan Yi added, “Take care.”

“Since the first two groups have already advanced into the Wastelands, we can’t afford to delay either. Tomorrow, wake up at the arranged time and enter the Wastelands. Our target is Sky Domain City. When we’re close to the City, we’ll regroup with the other two groups. We must not let Third Demon’s people discover our intentions, otherwise all our efforts will go to waste,” Ye Chen said, clearly having a plan in mind. It was only now that he realized why Gua Zhengnie managed to amass so many followers in such a short period of time. If he didn’t weaken him at some point, handling him in the future would be challenging. But the strategy of how to weaken him required careful thought and a certain degree of luck.

Guan Yi then excused himself.

Li Mo remarked, “You should make some plans, just in case.”

“Understood,” Ye Chen replied, then asked, “What about the gunpowder I asked you to prepare?”

“I don’t know what you need all this gunpowder for,” said Li Mo.

“Of course it’s useful. If you could figure out my plans that easily, you might as well become the Sect Leader of New City Sect.”

“Haha, I know my limits.”

“Just be sure not to lose it. I really need it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll sleep with it.”

“That’s the best,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll leave you and Ling’er alone.”

From a distance, Mu Wanlan pushed Ling’er towards them.

From afar, Ling’er asked, “What happened?”

Ye Chen replied, “Jiang Zhuge and his team are trapped in Wasteland City. It’s an urgent situation.” Handing her a pigeon-delivered letter from Jiang Zhuge.

Ling’er was shocked, “So Xiao Bai had something up his sleeve.”

“Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as you think.” Ye Chen didn’t want Ling’er to worry.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan. You may not trust others, but you should believe your future husband. I won’t let them get into trouble. I need their help to regain control over Wastelands and restore the legacy your father left.”

“Stop being silly and tell me what you plan to do.”

“Okay, but you need to call me your husband first, then I’ll tell you everything.”

Hearing this, Mu Wanlan blushed and giggled, “I’ll leave you two to your sweet talk. It’s making me shy.”

Ling’er had overheard Ye Chen discussing the gunpowder with Li Mo, “What are you planning to do with all that gunpowder?”

“If my affection is unrequited, I might as well die in a blaze with Gua Zhengnie.”

Ling’er who was examining the letter asked urgently, “What exactly is your plan?”

Ye Chen replied, “We’re going to attack Sky Domain City.”

“We have such few people, can we succeed?”

“We have to try, regardless of the outcome, that’s all we can do now.”

“That damn Xiao Bai, he’s actually siding with Gua Zhengnie.”

Ye Chen casually said, “I heard his son, Xiao Han, is interested in you. Maybe you could try convincing him to be our spy.”

Ling’er looked at him coldly, “I can’t do that.”

“Don’t be modest, I believe in you. I know you can do it.”

Ling’er ignored him.

“Don’t worry, we have a plan.”

“Haha, we’re in a critical situation. Any mistake might cost the lives of Jiang Zhuge and the others.”

“An opportunity often exists in the heart of danger.”

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Jiang Zhuge took all of New City Sect with him. If we lose them, the New City Sect may cease to exist.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “But you still have me, don’t you?”

“What good does that do?” Ling’er retorted.

“Don’t underestimate me. You’ll see what I’m capable of,” Ye Chen said, picking up a few grapes. He found a slope and sat opposite Ling’er. “You still haven’t answered my question, what do you think about my proposal?”

“Are you really thinking about that right now?”

“It’s a matter of my life. Accept me and my love for you, you won’t regret it.”

“Get lost. ‘Love’, my foot.” Ling’er was worried about the situation at Wasteland City. The thought of it surrounded and flooded, the urgency of the situation was clear. She continued, “Even if we manage to rescue them, we will have to face Gua Zhengnie’s newly formed Third Demon with their large numbers. And now that Xiao Bai has joined them and considering our current situation, how will we fight them!”

Ye Chen said, “Yes, the situation is indeed unfavorable for us. If we don’t draw blood from Third Demon, it will be difficult for us to fight them.”

“Draw blood? From the people at Third Demon? Just getting Jiang Zhuge and his team out safely will be hard enough, let alone drawing their blood. You only brought so few people back, it’s only because I convinced Guan Yi, otherwise we would have nothing.”

“Exactly, this proves you’re intelligent! We’re made for each other.”

“You’re better suited to an ape.”

Ye Chen chuckled.

“How do you plan to draw blood?”

“Ah, don’t worry about it. I have a plan. You should just focus on eating well, sleeping well, and considering my proposal. Or else, I might marry someone else and you’ll regret it.”

“I won’t regret anything.”

“By then, it may be too late if you regret,” Ye Chen said.
