Chapter 546 - 546 532 The Dark Zone

Chapter 546: Chapter 532: The Dark Zone Chapter 546: Chapter 532: The Dark Zone Ling’er had died, plunging Ye Chen, who was already exhausted, into utter confusion. He didn’t know what it was all for.

It was as if he had a dream. Ling’er showed him hope, but Longhun crushed it.

He was utterly despondent.

The Dragon Slaying Clan and the Third Demon were fully allied. They had defeated the New City Sect. In just one night, they broke through two cities. Wasteland City, which was just preparing for reconstruction, completely became a wasteland. Nothing could be more devastating to the disciples of the New City Sect.

The news that the Dragon Slaying Clan had used the Sea Demon to defeat the Immortal Demon Realm on Dragon Slayer Island had also reached the Wastelands.

The New City Sect was left with only five hundred disciples.

The Third Demon had almost total control over the Wastelands.

Directed by Jiang Zhuge, they found a place to bury Ling’er.

Ye Chen knelt in front of Ling’er’s grave for a whole night, her smile surfacing in his mind. It was like destiny playing a cruel joke on him. Although he was no longer crying, it seemed that his soul had left with Ling’er.

Jiang Zhuge knew that Ling’er’s death had a great impact on Ye Chen. At this time, he and Can Mo were dealing with the affairs of the New City Sect.

After breaking through Tianle City and Wasteland City, news came that the Third Demon had taken over Dongle City and Xile City.

They had thus gained control of half the Wastelands.

Facing the pursuit of the Third Demon.

Jiang Zhuge and Can Mo discussed, saying, “We only have so many people left. We can’t face the Third Demon here. To save what we have left, we must enter the Dark Zone.”

Although the Dark Zone was in the Wastelands, it wasn’t officially part of it. It was a haven for the wanted who couldn’t stay in the Wastelands. Even with the power of the Third Demon, they couldn’t control the Dark Zone.

Can Mo looked at Ye Chen and said, “It seems we have no other choice.” To save these people for a future comeback, they had to enter the Dark Zone.

The disciples all looked weary and dejected. They were completely powerless to fight at this point, not to mention dealing with the Third Demon and the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Jiang Zhuge said, “I believe the Dragon Slaying Clan will not stay in the Wastelands for long. We must preserve our strength, only by keeping these sparks alive can we have hope.”

Can Mo nodded in agreement and then turned to Ye Chen, who seemed utterly devastated, as though dead.

Jiang Zhuge said, “He needs time to accept it. You go get ready. We’re preparing to enter the Dark Area.”

Can Mo left.

Jiang Zhuge walked up to Ye Chen, who was still kneeling before the grave, and said, “Sect Leader, now that the Third Demon and the Dragon Slaying Clan have joined forces, we can’t stay here. Can Mo and I have discussed entering the Dark Zone.”

Ye Chen merely nodded slightly without uttering a word, his eyes numbly staring at the grave.

Not knowing what else to say, Jiang Zhuge asked Li Mo to stay with him and left to prepare for the New City Sect’s entry into the Dark Zone.

Li Mo squatted down and looked at Ling’er’s grave, tears trailing down his face again.

The north wind howled, accompanied by a fine rain. The bone-chilling cold made even breathing difficult.

He was like a lifeless statue, his soul seemingly snatched away.

There was only a soulless body left.

Li Mo didn’t know how to comfort him. Who could?

The past, that person, would forever remain in their memories, never to return.

That night, they found a small town to rest and make their final preparations. In the morning, they would head directly for the Dark Zone. They believed the Third Demon’s people would soon learn of their entry into the Dark Zone.

Ye Chen followed Jiang Zhuge and the others, but his mind was entirely filled with Ling’er, unforgettable from the noon that she left.

Jiang Zhuge found Ye Chen and said, “We rest here tonight and enter the Dark Zone tomorrow. The Third Demon does not control the Dark Zone. Only by entering the Dark Zone can we be safe.”

Ye Chen just nodded slightly again, but his mind was only on Ling’er, uncaring about anything else.

Jiang Zhuge left again.

As night fell, the crowds of people going about their business seemed as if nothing had happened. Laughter from the girls across the street repeatedly assaulted Ye Chen’s heart. How he wished he could hear Ling’er’s laughter.

Jiang Zhuge asked Mu Wanlan to accompany Ye Chen. But Mu Wanlan didn’t know what to say. Although three days had passed, she could not accept this outcome. It was as if Ling’er had never left.

After eating a bit, Ye Chen went back to his room to rest.

All fell silent.

Jiang Zhuge and Can Mo began to arrange for the trip into the Dark Zone. The route was perilous, but they had no choice. Perhaps they could find a way to survive. The Third Demon would not let the people of New City Sect live.

They were determined to annihilate the New City Sect.

Can Mo came over and asked, “Where is Ye Chen?”

Mu Wanlan replied, “He’s gone back to his room to rest.”

Can Mo, not knowing what to say, just replied, “Take it slow.”

Li Mo ran back, saying, “The people of the Third Demon should know we’re entering the Dark Zone.”

“How far is it from here?” Jiang Zhuge asked.

“They won’t be able to get here until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, they shouldn’t be able to catch up with us.” Li Mo said.

“We can’t be complacent, we should hurry into the Dark Zone.” Jiang Zhuge said.

In a state of exhaustion, everyone remained silent in worry. Can Mo stood up and said, “Ah, let’s not discuss anymore. Everyone should rest as much as possible. We must set off on time tomorrow morning. We absolutely cannot linger here.”

By morning, the sky had already brightened.

Everyone was ready for breakfast, but Ye Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Zhuge had gone outside to organize the horse car and returned to find Ye Chen still absent, so he sent Mu Wanlan to find him.

Mu Wanlan knocked on Ye Chen’s door but received no response. Upon pushing it open, she found the room empty.

Upon entering the room, they found a letter on the table. Opening it in surprise, Mu Wanlan quickly brought it downstairs and handed it to Jiang Zhuge.

The letter read:

“I am tired and don’t want to proceed. You all continue into the Dark Zone. Don’t worry, I won’t seek revenge. Take care!”

Can Mo walked in, seeing everyone’s somber expressions, he took the letter and learned about Ye Chen’s departure.

Kong Sha worriedly said, “What if Ye Chen, for the sake of Ling’er, seeks revenge?”

Wan Lan slapped him lightly and said, “He already said he wouldn’t, didn’t he?”

“Perhaps it’s to keep us from worrying.” Kong Sha replied.

Everyone was worried, but knew they had to leave or else it might be too late.

After a morning search around the town, there was still no sign of Ye Chen. It seems he had left the previous night.

Jiang Zhuge made a quick decision and said, “Let’s stop looking. Let’s enter the Dark Zone. The Third Demon could arrive any moment. If we don’t enter the Dark Zone, everyone could be in danger.”

But everyone was still worried about Ye Chen’s safety.

Can Mo saw the urgency in Jiang Zhuge’s eyes. He said, “Right now, everyone thinks Ye Chen is with us in the Dark Zone. Jiang Zhuge, you should quickly take everyone into the Dark Zone. I will stay behind with a few people to find Ye Chen.”

Jiang Zhuge raised his head, it looked like there was no other way.

“I will be fine. We can move more easily with fewer people. You must hurry up and lead them away. We can’t afford to delay any longer. We can’t afford to lose anymore.” Can Mo reassured.

Jiang Zhuge, noticed by excessive concern, said, “Alright, be careful on your way. If you have any news, tell me immediately.”

“Don’t worry, I am more familiar with this place than anyone. The people of the Third Demon won’t know I didn’t enter the Dark Zone.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and said, “If you find Ye Chen, let me know immediately. If you can, bring him into the Dark Zone.”

He knew that Ye Chen was the one the Third Demon wanted to kill the most. He was the core and spiritual pillar of the New City Sect.

“Got it. The people of the Third Demon won’t know Ye Chen didn’t enter the Dark Zone.” Can Mo affirmed.

“Alright, be careful on your way.” Jiang Zhuge said.

Can Mo glanced at the disciples. They were the last hope of the New City Sect. He knew what it meant and said, “Take good care of them.”

“Hmm, I will try to find a safe location as soon as possible.” Jiang Zhuge couldn’t guarantee safety in the Dark Zone, but considering his previous dealings with the people there, it should at least be safer than in the Wastelands. Right now, they had no other choice.

Leading the group, they left the small town.

Jiang Zhuge was somewhat angry and muttered to himself, “Ye Chen is too ignorant.” He knew how deeply Ling’er’s death had impacted Ye Chen, but he also knew the significant role Ye Chen played in the New City Sect.

“Let’s go, take care on the way.” Can Mo bid farewell to Jiang Zhuge and stayed behind with Kong Sha.

Jiang Zhuge led a large group of disciples from the New City Sect and hurriedly entered the Wastelands.

Zun Yu and Xiao Bai arrived at the small town and found out that the people of the New City Sect had already entered the Dark Zone, so they stopped.

“We can’t continue the chase. Let’s go back and discuss with the Alliance Leader before we make further plans.” Zun Yu said. It seemed they hadn’t managed to prevent their entrance into the Dark Zone.

Xiao Bai agreed with Zun Yu and turned to leave.

The Third Demon took Tianle City and destroyed Wasteland City, gaining a full victory, but failed to exterminate all the disciples of the New City Sect.

Moreover, they let them escape into the Dark Zone. Yuan Menhai felt somewhat regretful, but such victories were already very satisfying. They had also captured Dongle City and Xile City, winning over half of the Wastelands.

Only Ghost City resisted their unification of the Wastelands, which was only a matter of time.

His heart swelled with joy, feelings of delight indescribable.

Longhun entered Sky Domain City and stayed there for two days.

The alliance between Longhun and the Third Demon defeated the New City Sect, causing them to flee into the Dark Zone, shocking the entire Wastelands.

Seeing that Wasteland City was destroyed, Longhun felt it was time to return to Dragon Slayer Island. After all, he had left Dragon Slayer Island in secret. After Shi Yin Zun’s death, Dragon Slayer Island needed to elect a new Island Master. Even though everyone recognized Longhun as the future Island Master, the ceremony had to be carried out.

Otherwise, he would not be considered the new leader of the Dragon Clan.
