Chapter 535 - 535 521 Longhun Wants to Enter the Wastelands

Chapter 535: Chapter 521: Longhun Wants to Enter the Wastelands Chapter 535: Chapter 521: Longhun Wants to Enter the Wastelands Ling Feng was greatly shocked and shouted “No…”, but his disciples behind him were dwindling. He glanced at the cliff behind him and said, “Li’er, you should go. I will hold them back.”

Before long, Ling Feng had been stabbed several times and was bleeding profusely.

The weeping Ling Li watched Ling Feng. She tried to help him, but he pushed her away. He had reached the edge of the cliff where there was no place to retreat.

A sword swung at him. Ling Feng blocked it, but another sword stabbed him from behind. Ling Feng fell to the ground and didn’t get up.

Only Ling Li was left alive. He stood at the edge of the cliff, glared at Longhun fiercely, shouted to embolden himself and jumped off the cliff.

Mo Ku pulled back his sword, confirming that everyone was dead.

Longhun said, “Pursue Ling Li.”

Just as they were about to leave, Shi Xueqin rushed from the back of the mountain. When she saw Shi Yin Zun lying on the ground, she held him and burst into tears, but she had missed what just happened.

Mo Ku glanced at Longhun, preparing to draw his sword.

But Longhun stopped him.

Mo Ku said, “Keeping her would be a menace.” He knew that Longhun viewed this lass differently from others.

“Do you have the heart to kill a defenseless girl?” Longhun said in a low voice while Shi Xueqin was sobbing.

Only then did Mo Ku step back.

At that moment, Guan Gutuo led a large group of people over. Hearing Shi Xueqin’s crying and seeing Shi Yin Zun’s body, he hurriedly went over and said, “When we arrived, the Island Master was already dead. It was the demons from the Immortal-Demon realm who did it.”

Ling Feng was also dead.

In the vast wilderness, only Shi Xueqin’s cries could be heard.

The lightning flashed, and the rain poured. Night was falling.

Guan Gutuo walked towards Longhun and asked, “Did you lure the Sea Demon here?”

Longhun nodded.

“You lured the Sea Demon here without telling us, do you know the Sea Demon has killed many of our people?” Guan Gutuo said in a complaining tone.

But Mo Ku said, “We weren’t sure if we could succeed, so we couldn’t promise anything.”

Guan Gutuo looked at Longhun.

Longhun smiled and asked, “From the looks of you, are you here to blame us?”

Mo Ku said, “If we hadn’t lured the Sea Demon here, could you have fended off the people from the Immortal-Demon realm on your own!”

Guan Gutuo had nothing to say, murmuring, “But you should have at least prepared us.”

“Let’s clean up and leave.” Longhun turned and headed towards Dragon Slayer City.

Guan Gutuo helped Shi Xueqin to stand up.

All was quiet.

At that moment, Old Du had run back. The rain was still falling heavily, sky was gloomy, as if crying.

“How’s the Sea Demon?” asked Longhun.

“Rest assured, we are already tracking them. They are on the run.” Old Du replied.

Longhun nodded. They certainly couldn’t let them escape easily. He said to Mo Ku, “How’s the manpower I asked you to prepare?”

“Everyone is ready, now on the ship, ready to set sail at any time.” Mo Ku knew that Longhun had a plan.

“How many people?”

“Over six hundred.”

“That’s enough.”

Longhun paused for a moment and said, “Old Du, you follow me out to sea. We will enter the Wastelands. Mo Ku stays here. Keep an eye on Dragon Slayer Island for me. I believe the Immortal-Demon realm will not attack Dragon Slayer Island again, at least not within half a year.”

“Now? Isn’t it too hasty?” Old Du said again, “Although Shi Yin Zun is dead, the situation on Dragon Slayer Island is still unsettled.”

“It’s precisely because it’s unsettled that people from the Immortal-Demon Realm and the New City Sect won’t believe that we left Dragon Slayer Island so quickly.” Longhun had other plans and time wasn’t on their side.

Old Du nodded upon listening.

“I want to surprise them. Before they get news from Dragon Slayer Island, we have already quietly entered the Wastelands.” Longhun continued, “This Guan Gutuo doesn’t have much ambition. He can’t make much trouble.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him. He wants to play tricks on me, no way.” Mo Ku said.

“Although he’s a bit stubborn, he won’t become an obstacle for us.” Longhun added, “Spread the news that Shi Yin Zun was killed by the people from the Immortal-Demon Realm.”

Mo Ku nodded. At this time, they should direct all the hatred towards the Immortal-Demon Realm, and unify the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan.

“Okay, set off overnight. We can’t delay. We must enter the Wastelands at the fastest speed. I have to catch up with my brother’s wedding feast.” Longhun’s face was full of killing intent.

Mo Ku closely followed him.

“Send this message by pigeon. Once the Mitra Monk receives my letter, he will know what to do.”

Longhun left overnight, leading two ships out to sea without dealing with Shi Yin Zun’s affairs, to leave Dragon Slayer Island.

The Sea Demon was chasing the fleeing ship, and the rain was pouring heavily with no signs of stopping.

They had fled for hundreds of miles. The three ships behind them were already sunken by the Sea Demon. The Sea Demon had no intention of letting them go.

The anxious Song Zheng’an found Yuan Jingxing and Su Zhanze, not knowing what to do.

Song Zheng’an said, “We’ve been targeted by the Sea Demon. It won’t leave until it has sunk us all.”

A commander from behind asked, “Where is Sect Leader Fang?”

Song Zheng’an exclaimed, “That coward has already run away. There’s no way he’d stay with us.” He was referring to Fang Ziren who had fled with the last three ships amidst the battle with the Sea Demon.

Yuan Jingxing remarked, “Once the Sea Demon has sunk the trailing ships, it will swiftly pursue us. There’s no escape for us.” They could not find any means to defeat the Sea Demon. Whenever it saw their ships, it targeted them like a predator.

Song Zheng’an said, “We need to think of a strategy!”

Su Zhanze responded, “If there were a strategy, those last three ships wouldn’t have sunk.”

They had been grappling with the damn Sea Demon for nearly four to five hours. With the exception of the missing Fang Ziren, only the final two ships remained. It was already late at night, and the relentless rain showed no signs of stopping.

People aboard the ships were terrified, praying constantly.

Observing them, Su Zhanze abruptly declared, “I will distract them. You all should quickly move to the other ship.”

Song Zheng’an was shocked, asking, “You’ll distract the Sea Demon?”

“There’s no other choice.”

“The ones who stay behind will die.”

“That’s inevitable. Otherwise, both ships will not be able to escape. We can only save one, giving it a chance to survive.”

On hearing this, Yuan Jingxing stated, “No, Sect Leader, let me stay behind instead.”

However, Su Zhanze countered, “If you stay, you won’t last even half an hour.” He glanced at his Dragon Slayer Sword and added, “Only I might be able to hold them off for a while, buying you time to escape.”

Yuan Jingxing couldn’t find the words to reply.

“Go. Leave behind a group of brave fighters. Everyone else should board the other ship. I will do my best to divert the Sea Demon. Hopefully, you can survive.”

Yuan Jingxing was left speechless.

Glancing at Yuan Jingxing, Su Zhanze instructed, “Take good care of Guo Yuqing.” With his final order, he sent those not staying behind to the remaining ship.

He told Yuan Jingxing, “We need someone to return alive to Immortal City. Our disciples cannot all die here. Go, let them know what transpired on Dragon Slayer Island.”

Su Zhanze stayed behind with a few brave disciples to divert the quickly closing in Sea Demon towards an unknown quadrant of the sea.

Song Zheng’an and Yuan Jingxing were forced to leave swiftly with the others aboard the second ship.

Song Zheng’an mused, “Don’t look back. Su Zhanze is right. There wouldn’t be much you could have done even if you stayed. The Dragon Slayer Sword in his hands might not last long.”

Yuan Jingxing faced a reality he didn’t want to acknowledge, a situation he didn’t expect. It felt like a nightmare.

“Wasn’t the Sea Demon sealed in the dark zone? How did it appear here?” one of the followers inquired.

Sighing, Song Zheng’an retorted, “Who cares about that now?”

Sure enough, up ahead, they spotted the rapidly approaching Sea Demon.

They had changed course, no longer headed west but south, hoping to lead the Sea Demon as far away as possible.

…

The Longhun glanced at Old Du and commented, “The Sea Demon is a fine creature, but it’s a pity it can only be used once.”

Old Du replied, “Don’t worry. When I get a chance, I’ll research on taming it.”

Chuckling, the Longhun added, “Exactly my thought. Taming such a destructive creature like the Sea Demon is akin to controlling an invincible army.”

“Exactly. If only there were more time, I’m certain I could have tamed it.”

“There will be chances. Once I’ve defeated the New City Sect, I’ll help you get it back. Once tamed, the Sea Demon will be at your command.”

Old Du gave a nod of approval.

Gazing at the sea, the Longhun found the situation both amusing and exciting. They were sailing northwest towards the Wastelands, which was northwest of the Central Plains.

Longhun declared, “Well, I’m tired. Tell them to get some food. Wake me when it’s ready. Killing in this ice-cold night, isn’t it too cruel?” He rubbed his hands and retreated to the ship’s cabin.

“Don’t worry, we’ll have seafood,” assured one of Longhun’s disciples.

“Be cautious not to attract the Sea Demon. I don’t want any trouble.”

Old Du reassured, “Don’t worry, they’ve headed west. We won’t cross paths.”

“I hope so. If not, it’s on you.”

The Mitra Monk was the first to receive the Longhun’s message, stating that they had repelled the Immortal-Demon forces on Dragon Slayer Island. The Longhun had shared his plan and urged the Monk to meet with Yuan Menhai immediately. The urgency of the situation was evident as the Longhun intended to strike the New City Sect unexpectedly.

He already started taking action within the following days.

The Mitra Monk promptly gathered Meng Xiuluo, Jing Po, and Elder Xi Feng.

It was already midnight.

“Can’t you let one sleep? You summoned us at the third watch,” grumbled Meng Xiuluo.

Laughing, the Mitra monk announced, “I have good news. The Dragon Slaying Clan has defeated the Immortal-Demon forces on Dragon Slayer Island.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Po cheered, “Splendid! Did they wipe them all out?”

“I’m not sure about that, but I’m certain they suffered heavy losses. The Longhun has already left Dragon Slayer Island and is headed towards the Wastelands.”

Meng Xiuluo queried, “What about Shi Yin Zun?” She knew Longhun very well. He wasn’t fond of Shi Yin Zun as he found him to be bothersome. Given Shi Yin Zun’s forceful ascension to the Island Master’s position, he was bound to interfere with the Longhun’s plans. She suspected the Longhun would not let Shi Yin Zun become an obstacle.

The Mitra monk glanced at Meng Xiuluo and revealed, “Shi Yin Zun is dead.”

“Shi Yin Zun is dead?” Jing Po was astonished. Despite the Dragon Slaying Clan’s victory over the Immortal-Demon forces, he was puzzled by Shi Yin Zun’s demise.

The Longhun didn’t reveal the inner circumstances, but both the Mitra Monk and Meng Xiuluo held suspicions.

The Mitra Monk added, “Unfortunately, it was an accident. He was killed by someone from the Immortal-Demon forces.”
