Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 584 - 584 570 Tan Gao

Chapter 584: Chapter 570: Tan Gao Chapter 584: Chapter 570: Tan Gao Red Demonic Spirit knew now was not the time for impulsiveness. Facing an increasing number of fanatics, he was outmatched. If he continued like this, Guo Yuyun would likely be captured too. At the moment, he remained relatively calm, with some assistance from ordinary people.

Seeing they were about to be surrounded, he swiftly restrained the impulsive Guo Yuyun. Releasing several bursts of energy, he and a few skilled martial artists broke through the enclosing crowd. With a swift move resembling a fish flip, he kicked up dust to confuse his pursuers, then hurried into the darkness, sprinting several miles without stopping.

The night was pitch black.

Initially, the fanatics chased after them, but at the sound of a whistle, they halted, changed direction, and gave up pursuit.

Red Demonic Spirit took Guo Yuyun by the hand as they used the darkness to evade capture, losing the horse-riding fanatics in the process.

Several civilians who had survived by a hair’s breadth exhibited helpless expressions, as some of them had loved ones forcibly taken, leaving them with no choice but to resign themselves.

The fanatics had left.

Someone cursed Yuan Menhai, “That damned turtle, letting those bearded bastards into the Wastelands. That man’s got no balls!” No one but Yuan Menhai could have allowed the bearded men to dare to set foot in the Wastelands.

“Your anger is useless. Yuan Turtle has already joined forces with the bearded men, what can you do?” another person added. “Just leave as soon as possible; stop staying in the wasteland and return to Central Plains if you can.”

Someone else added, “That’s all we can do. If we survived, that’s good enough.”

A somber mood blanketed the crowd. Among the survivors, some were weeping because their loved ones had been taken and could never be saved.

They had been powerless to prevent more than twenty girls from being abducted.

Guo Yuyun, crying, shouted, “Why didn’t you help me save He Xibai?” She blamed it on Red Demonic Spirit.

“You tell me, how do we save He Xibai? Just the two of us and these common folk against that band of fanatics, and those monsters. I’m not that capable. If we delayed any further, you would have been taken too.” Red Demonic Spirit’s words left Guo Yuyun speechless.

“Look at these people. Their loved ones were also taken, those who didn’t give up were beheaded. What can you do, rush in? That’s a death wish, haven’t enough people died already! Weren’t we warned that it would be very dangerous? Did you think I was joking with you?”

“So we just abandon He Xibai?” Guo Yuyun started to cry.

“Your crying won’t help anything.” Red Demonic Spirit fell silent for a moment, then said, “We’ll figure something out.”

“What else is there to figure out, He Xibai has already been taken by them.”

“If you chase after them now, you won’t be able to save He Xibai. You’ll only end up risking your own life, understand?”

With her head low, Guo Yuyun delivered a fierce punch into a pile of sand. Gazing at the scattered corpses, she said, “One day, I will kill the bearded men.”

“We’ll deal with that later.”

“We really can’t leave He Xibai.”

With a long sigh, Red Demonic Spirit said, “Let’s follow them into the dark areas.”

Guo Yuyun quieted down a bit, there was agreement in her eyes.

“However, you must obey me. No more impulsivity, or all bets are off.” Red Demonic Spirit couldn’t abandon He Xibai either. They had to follow those men and see if there really was a chance. They had to enter the dark areas anyway, so why not now?

Red Demonic Spirit continued, “Again, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to save He Xibai. But if given the chance, I definitely will.”

Guo Yuyun nodded. What else could she do now? Her martial skills were average at best. Red Demonic Spirit was the one with the superior martial arts skills, so he is now her only hope.

Red Demonic Spirit added, “Go prepare some food and drink quickly. Now that He Xibai is gone, you must take care of yourself.”

Guo Yuyun immediately left to prepare, but she was worried that if He Xibai was taken to the bearded men’s territory, it would be the end of him. It seemed their only chance would be while on the road.

You should prepare food and drinks quickly.

Red Demonic Spirit was also troubled and said, “I told you coming into the Wastelands was dangerous. You didn’t believe me and insisted on plunging yourself into trouble. You only regretted it when you got pregnant.”

Guo Yuyun knew that Red Demonic Spirit was just venting his frustration.

Red Demonic Spirit and Guo Yuyun started to track the fanatics, and followed them towards the dark areas.

Kong Sha returned, fuming.

Jiang Zhuge saw him and asked, “What happened?”

Kong Sha replied, “The bearded man sent his men to abduct more people. This time they went to the Wastelands, capturing a group of civilians who had escaped from Wasteland City.”

Jiang Zhuge, astonished, asked, “How many people have been taken?”

“At least twenty girls, and they killed a huge number more.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo said, “These people are all from Wasteland City or Tianle City. They intended to follow us. After the fall of Wasteland City, the homeless people… we cannot simply abandon them. We have to rescue them.”

Kong Sha heard this and said, “Indeed, all those people chose to come back to Wasteland City because they believed in our New City Sect. They wanted to rebuild Wasteland City with us. When we escaped, they had no choice but to wander around, which gave the big-bearded man his opportunity. We can’t just leave them to their fate.”

Jiang Zhuge replied, “We are barely managing to keep ourselves safe at the moment. It’s not that we don’t want to help.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo responded, “We can’t allow them to simply take those twenty or so young girls back for their vile use. I can’t do that. These people have assisted us, they have been benevolent to us, we brought danger to them. We can’t just let them be taken away. We have to rescue them.”

Kong Sha added, “Correct, now that we know, it isn’t right for us to hide and do nothing.”

Li Mo continued, “If it was anyone else, I wouldn’t care. But these people were all attendees of Ye Chen and Ling’er’s wedding ceremony. We can’t just pretend like nothing happened.”

Jiang Zhuge queried, “What about Can Mo?”

“It’s going to be a while before Can Mo returns,” answered Ming Qi from the back.

The righteous Li Mo proposed, “Leave it to me; I’ll be the one to rescue them.”

Jiang Zhuge asked, “Who’s leading? How many are there?”

Kong Sha replied, “Tan Gao, with over eighty men. They should be passing us later.”

Li Mo spat out, “Damn that Tan Gao. He’s worthless. Leave it to me. I’ll wipe them out.”

Tan Gao was a crony of the big-bearded man. Within their group, he was referred to as ‘Third Brother’. He wasn’t particularly skilled but liked to ingratiate himself with the bearded man. Knowing that the bearded man had a fancy for women, he randomly kidnapped them from all over.

Jiang Zhuge queried, “Do you all agree to rescue them?”

Kong Sha responded, “If the big-bearded man is our enemy, there’s no reason to be kind to him. Are we afraid of provoking him? I say we declare war on them, start with this rescue mission and stop cowering.”

Jiang Zhuge was considering waiting for Can Mo to return, then to thoroughly discuss with him how to join hands with the Xue Family brothers to deal with the big-bearded man.

Li Mo declared, “Time waits for no one. Once they pass by, it won’t be easy to catch up with them. The rescue of those twenty or so girls lies in our decision. What is the goal of our New City Sect? To eliminate evil and protect the people. If we can’t even accomplish this and are still cowering, what is our value for existence and what is our meaning in the Wastelands?”

Ming Qi proposed, “We can fight them. They don’t have many people. It won’t be too hard to deal with them. Since we can’t avoid them, we don’t need to avoid them. Let’s rescue those people.”

Pretty soon everyone agreed unanimously, they had to rescue those people.

Jiang Zhuge pounded the table and declared, “Alright, let’s rescue them.”

Li Mo sneered, “Just over eighty scumbags. I could wipe them out with ease.”

Kong Sha cursed loudly, “Damn that Yuan Menhai. I knew he was no good, just letting the big-bearded man’s men enter the Wastelands as they please.”

Ming Qi noted, “At this point, they’re all in on it together. Yuan Menhai was never good from the start, it’s just coming to light now.”

Jiang Zhuge stood up and declared, “We can rescue them, but we must follow my plan.”

Li Mo said, “We could just wipe them all out. Just eighty or so scumbags.”

Jiang Zhuge stated, “No, the most important thing right now is to save those twenty or so girls. We can’t let Tan Gao react. If they get a chance to react, they might start killing. At that time, things will get complex.” Safety of the New City Sect disciples was his priority.

Li Mo nodded, saying, “I see, we will follow your plan at that time.”

“Alright then, let’s start with this battle. Prepare yourselves, we will set off in one hour and ambush them along their route,” Jiang Zhuge declared.

Li Mo said, “Our men need a good fight to wake up and let the big-bearded man know that the New City Sect isn’t extinct.”

Jiang Zhuge stood up, saying, “Alright then, go prepare quickly.”

Everyone scattered to prepare, as Jiang Zhuge made the decision to rescue the girls.

Guo Yuyun had entered the dark zones, following that group of people for a day and a night now.

Those people were inseparable and moved very fast. Guo Yuyun was getting anxious as it was getting dark. She hadn’t seen any opportunity, and if it continued like this, she would go mad. She could only watch as He Xibai was taken into the big-bearded man’s territory.

“Rushing won’t help,” The Red Demonic Spirit said.

“What should we do? They hardly stopped, and they are always together. By standing guard like this, we can just watch them being delivered into the jaws of death.”

“Even if you rush forward, you won’t be able to save He Xibai. At most, you’ll just throw yourself in too. And there’d be no outcome. Unless you also want to go and become the big-bearded man’s wife,” Red Demonic Spirit said coldly.

Guo Yuyun gnawed on a roll.

“Stop pondering. Rest well. We can discuss it again in the middle of the night. Replenish your energy, there might be an opportunity.”

“You’ve said this to me countless times already.”

“Right, I did say that. I can’t guarantee that we’ll definitely be able to save them. We will only do so when there’s an opportunity.”
