Chapter 514 - 514 500 Unity is the Only Way Out

Chapter 514: Chapter 500: Unity is the Only Way Out Chapter 514: Chapter 500: Unity is the Only Way Out Jiang Zhuge said, “If you really can’t bear it, let me handle the matter of capturing Sky Domain City.”

“We’ll see when the time comes.” Ye Chen replied.

“With you in Wasteland City, we have more confidence. Everyone is willing to believe in you and this battle. I believe more people will return to Wasteland City.” Jiang Zhuge was very confident.

“Leave the matter of rebuilding to you and Can Mo.”

“As long as we have this book, we can build a city that is comparable to Demon Palace City.”

“Actually, I also don’t know if it would be useful. I just took it out secretly.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhuge smiled, “Previously, the challenge for Wasteland City was the lack of a Defense System, but with one in place, it would make Wasteland City safer. This will be the only Defense System in the Wastelands.”

“Don’t get too excited too early, this thing is complex. If not handled properly, we may destroy Wasteland City ourselves.”

Jiang Zhuge laughed after hearing this, “No, I will seek advice from others when the time comes.”

“Don’t say I stole it when the time comes. I won’t take responsibility for it.” Ye Chen stressed.

“Actually, in the past, when Sect Leader Wei was still around, he always wanted to build a Defense System. But because there were many different factions in Wasteland City, our opinions did not align. Looking at it now, I’m sure no one will disagree with it.” Jiang Zhuge said.

The sky was slowly darkening, the lanterns on the streets were lit, and the people hiding in the mountains began to come down.

Can Mo came over and said, “Sect Leader, Ling’er has come down the mountain and is looking everywhere for you.”

“Didn’t you tell her that I was not injured?” Ye Chen asked.

“She won’t believe it until she sees it with her own eyes.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “You’d better go. Don’t let her worry too much.”

Ye Chen stood up and said, “Ah, I’ll leave the rest to you. Discuss whether to attack Sky Domain City.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded.

Ye Chen added, “Please take care of the disciples from the Fairy and Demon Realm. They also worked hard in this battle.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Ye Chen ran into Guan Yi and said, “It’s already dark. If you have any issues, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Guan Yi nodded.

Laughter was constantly heard. It was a laughter that has been suppressed for a long time.

Ye Chen came down from the city tower and found Ling’er. She looked closely at Ye Chen, making sure he was not lacking any limbs, before she was relieved.

“I told you to relax, that I’m fine.”

Ling’er gave a faint smile in response.

Ye Chen waved to let Mu Wanlan go first before he went over to push the wheelchair. He then asked, “Have you eaten?”

People on the street were looking for a spot to start a bonfire. They greeted Ye Chen as they passed by.

Ling’er asked, “Did Xiao Bai not get caught?”

“No, he used the last escape route to flee with his men.”

“That guy is so sneaky.”

Ye Chen said, “It’s understandable. He has guarded Wasteland City so many years, leaving one or two escape routes is understandable.”

“Did Gua Zhengnie also escape?”

“He did, he never entered the city.”

“So what’s the plan next?” Ling’er asked.

“Jiang Zhuge mentioned, to truly bring peace to the Wastelands, the best solution is to exterminate the Third Demon and reunite the Wastelands.”

“You must not want to, thinking it would kill many people.”

“I don’t want to, but I think his analysis makes sense. If I’m too kind, it doesn’t mean things will become better. Sometimes being too kind can bring trouble.”

“Being able to reflect on yourself in this way is also a sign of growth.”

Ye Chen asked, “So, do you also think we should capture Sky Domain City and integrate the Wastelands?”

“Do you think if we let Gua Zhengnie off and not capture Sky Domain City, he will appreciate us? No! Do you remember, five years ago when they wanted to catch me? When they failed that time, my father let them go and did not pursue the matter. But in the end, they plotted to kill my father five years later. If it wasn’t for your arrival, my father would have died early on.”

Ye Chen stayed silent.

“He’s incorrigible. With him around, the Wastelands will only be in chaos. Therefore, we must get rid of him. This is a must. Haven’t you been to Sky Domain City? You know what he’s been doing there. Jiang Zhuge has experience. He knows when to be principled and when not to be soft-hearted. You mustn’t be soft-hearted.”

Ye Chen started pushing her towards the square.

“If you want peace to be restored, integrating the Wastelands is the right move. At least, we should first eliminate the Third Demon. As long as we are firm and eliminate the Third Demon, I believe there will be a turnaround. The premise is that we must eliminate them. Once we get rid of these scourges, it will shake the Wastelands. I believe by then we will only need to clean up those underlings. The attack on Sky Domain City is necessary.”

Ye Chen said, “Wait here for a moment, I am going to get a roast chicken.”

Soon, Ye Chen returned from the crowd with half of a roast chicken which he gave to Ling’er.

Ling’er continued, “You are generally perfect but sometimes, you are too soft-hearted.”

“Of course, I feel the same way, which is why I cannot achieve great things,” Ye Chen replied.

“Your kindness is your strength, but it is also your weakness,” said Ling’er.

Ye Chen glanced ahead where there was a small pavilion that was quieter than their current location, and it had a stone bench.

“We can’t back down now. If you retreat, it would be cruel to yourself,” Ling’er said.

“Fine, we will do as you say and fight until Gua Zhengnie surrenders,” Ye Chen said.

“The current situation is in our favor, they won’t be able to hold on for long. Gua Zhengnie is not someone who can win people’s hearts. After this war, many won’t obey him, their morale could easily collapse. We just need to push a bit harder.”

Ye Chen stopped and sat on a stone bench opposite Ling’er, who was tearing off a chicken leg for him.

Ye Chen said, “I’ll have the chicken wing instead,” and left the chicken leg for her.

Ling’er passed him a water bottle from her arms. He took it and took a couple of gulps.

“Now that we’ve taken control, one more decisive battle should easily secure Tianle City. Once we have Tianle City, all that’s left is Sky Domain City, it should be pretty straightforward.”

“Let’s finish our meal first. These matters can’t be rushed, we need to take our time,” said Ye Chen.

Gua Zhengnie, seeming to have lost his soul, stopped only when he was sure no one was chasing him.

Not long after he stopped, an anxious disciple ran up to report, “There are people behind us.”

Gua Zhengnie, who had barely settled down, thought that the New City Sect was coming to kill them again, quickly stood up.

“Is it the New City Sect?” Gua Zhengnie asked.

“No, it seems to be Xiao Bai and his group.”

“They managed to escape too?” He found it hard to believe.

The disciple quickly nodded.

Gui Lang was shocked. How come those guys are still alive? he thought. He found it hard to believe.

“Let’s go take a look,” Gua Zhengnie said.

It indeed was Xiao Bai and his group. They looked no different from beggars and seemed as though they had lost their souls.

Walking over with a slight smile, Gua Zhengnie said, “I knew you guys would find a way out. The heavens are still looking out for us.”

Xiao Bai stood up, his eyes staring at Gua Zhengnie with pent-up frustration. He said coldly, “Perhaps the heavens aren’t ready for us to die yet.” when they were surrounded, Gua Zhengnie had immediately given up on them. How dare he still have the audacity to approach them now?

“I really don’t understand what happened. Where did that energy come from?” Knowing that they had lost many people, Gua Zhengnie also understood that in order to deal with the New City Sect, he would need to unite all the survivors. Even though they had suffered heavy losses, he still needed their help.

Gua Zhengnie continued, “I attempted to save you twice without success. At that time, it was total chaos. However, considering that you have defended Wasteland City for so many years, I thought there might be a secret escape route so I left first.”

Xiao Bai knew exactly what kind of coward Gua Zhengnie was, but decided not to call him out on it.

Zun Yu coughed in the distance. His subordinate, Kuang Shen, had just died and he was still simmering with rage.

Gua Zhengnie ran over immediately, shouting, “My brother, it’s great that you’re alive.”

Zun Yu gave a cold laugh, “What’s so great about it? Kuang Shen is already dead.” He was obviously furious.

“Don’t worry, I will avenge him in the future. It’s wonderful that you’re alive, thank heavens.”

Zun Yu was also upset with Gua Zhengnie, however, he didn’t show it as manifesting his anger would serve no purpose.

Everyone was frustrated. They had lost so many people and even more were injured.

Gua Zhengnie looked around and said, “They won because of a sneaky trick. They won’t be this lucky next time, we can try again.” That was all he could say.

The two men remained silent.

“Let’s return to Sky Domain City first,” Gua Zhengnie suggested, somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Bai was upset. He knew what this battle meant: a turn of tide. He regretted their earlier failure to surround the New City Sect, which was entirely due to Gua Zhengnie’s incompetence.

Everything was in shambles.

The more he thought about it, the more he started questioning whether following Gua Zhengnie was the right decision. Each setback made him realize that Gua Zhengnie was incapable of achieving great things and was definitely no match for the New City Sect. He was simply not a destined leader.

Thinking of making a comeback was like daydreaming. It made him even more frustrated.

What could he do about it? He was seething with anger.

Weary and exhausted, he didn’t let it show. But deep down, he was having second thoughts. Following Gua Zhengnie was not the right path. Gua Zhengnie only cared about himself, loved to command others, and wouldn’t hesitate to abandon them when danger approached. It wasn’t worth it to risk their lives for Gua Zhengnie.

Already, many of his disciples had died. He had to think hard and find a way out.
