Chapter 617 - 617 603 Jiang Zhuge in Trouble

Chapter 617: Chapter 603: Jiang Zhuge in Trouble Chapter 617: Chapter 603: Jiang Zhuge in Trouble “I guess you can’t forget Ling’er, can you?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“Yeah, exactly. And I never will, even if it takes a lifetime. I’m prepared for the long haul,” Ye Chen replied.

“Will you avenge her? Will you seek revenge on your brother?”

Ye Chen did not respond. He had pondered this question before. After all, he was indirectly responsible for his brother’s defeat and consequent death. It was natural for Longhun to seek vengeance on behalf of their father and, Ye Chen could understand that. If he also sought revenge on his brother for his wife, it would only create more confusion and chaos. He didn’t know what to do.

“Can’t bring yourself to act?”

“You’re really annoying,” Ye Chen retorted, seemingly not wanting to consider the question.

Guo Yuyun understood and advised, “You must figure it out, though. From the incidents in Wasteland City, it’s apparent that your brother won’t show mercy. If you’re soft-hearted, you’ve lost more than half the battle already.”

At this point, Ye Chen didn’t wish to think about it. All he wanted was to settle the issues in Wastelands; he’d deal with the rest later.

“Yes, it’s indeed confusing. You’re naturally not a ruthless person.”

Ye Chen didn’t want to continue the conversation. He asked, “So, what have you been up to all this time?”

“What do you mean ‘up to’?”

“Don’t play dumb, just tell me your heart-wrenching story. Let’s see if it moves me enough to shed a few tears.”

“You’re really annoying.”

The Red Demonic Spirit suddenly interjected, saying, “She’s just like you – never letting herself be at peace if she’s not drunk.”

Ye Chen heard it and said, “That sounds like torment indeed.”

“That’s just the beginning. She made things particularly difficult for He Xibai and myself. We tried finding her a man but she refused. Even the mere mention of her name frightens any potential suitors, none of them dare approach her,” Red Demonic Spirit continued, “In the end, I almost became an alcoholic.”

Ye Chen glanced at her. She remained quiet and he asked, “Then how did she suddenly manage to become normal?”

The Red Demonic Spirit replied, “I locked her up and gave her a good scolding. Then she returned to normal.”

“What did you say to her?”

Guo Yuyun interrupted, “Hey, can you not ignore me like I’m not here? I’m still here!” With that, she rose to leave. The Red Demonic Spirit didn’t follow her but chose to stay behind.

Ye Chen chuckled, and the air turned a notch chillier.

Now, it was just Ye Chen and the Red Demonic Spirit.

The Red Demonic Spirit had been avoiding him for several days since learning about Feng Niang.

“What are you planning to do?” the Red Demonic Spirit asked.

“What else can I do? I will annihilate Yuan Menhai first,” Ye Chen replied calmly, unlike someone making jest.

“Is it to avenge Feng Niang or the people from Wasteland City?”

Ye Chen hesitated before saying, “If others won’t let me live in peace, there’s no way I can avoid it. In that case, let none of us live peacefully.”

“It seems like you’ve made up your mind.” the Red Demonic Spirit asked again, “What about the little girl?”

“Her parents died because of me. Even though her mother was just her stepmother, that was still her mother. Now with the Wan Residence turning out like this, can I just ignore it?”

“But you should draw a line when it comes to managing her affairs. It should be brotherly love, don’t let there be any misunderstandings.”

Ye Chen didn’t respond but just glanced at her.

“But it doesn’t seem like the way she sees you is the typical sister-brother type.”

Ye Chen touched his forehead.

“Don’t start having a headache just because I said it. You still have to face what ought to be faced.”

Ye Chen smiled languidly and responded, “Do you think I have the time and energy to deal with this? I have no idea how to deal with people like Da Hu and Xiao Bai, let alone Yuan Menhai. I’m utterly clueless, so much so that I wish someone would give me an idea.”

“You’re merely not daring to face it, still having Ling’er on your mind. But let me tell you, Ling’er is gone for real. I think that this time, Guo Yuyun won’t give up. If you’re fine with being a monk, she’s fine with being a nun too.”

“Then tell me, what should I do?”

“I’ve told you what I had to say. You have to make your own choices. Don’t end up hurting someone else again.”

Ye Chen simply smiled.

“Accept reality. Since you’ve decided to stay in this world, choose a new path wholeheartedly.”

“Did that girl give you a lot of benefits, for you to be speaking on her behalf?”

“Don’t change the subject. It’s been such a long time. Be more open and straightforward as a man. Don’t hurt one person, then another.”

“Okay, got it,” Ye Chen responded.

“That girl is pretty attractive though,” said the Red Demonic Spirit, before making her exit.

Once again, Ye Chen was left alone. Before long, Li Mo approached him and said, “We can leave anytime.”

After dinner, Ye Chen and his group took advantage of the night and made their move, entering the dark zone.

They couldn’t tell how long they had been walking, but before they knew it, it was already midnight.

Li Mo said, “We should be safe now.”

“Are you sure?” Ye Chen wasn’t as composed as before. The surrounding area was pitch-dark, making it feel eerie.

“Reaching Bamboo Forest Valley will have to wait until tomorrow.”

Ye Chen, extremely exhausted, replied, “Alright then, let’s rest.”

And so, they spent the night there.

The bearded man, unwilling to back out, staged a night attack on the Xue Brothers’ stronghold.

His insolence was formidable, causing some chaos in the territory of the Xue Brothers.

The Xue Brothers’ men immediately signaled the New City Sect for aid.

Kong Sha was taken aback, remarking, “Seems like this damned bearded man won’t step down. He must attempt it again.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “If they want to play, we’ll play. His arrogance will fade someday.”

Now, he just wants to suppress the bombast of the men with the beards, and then figure out how to deal with them.

Kong Sha suggested, “I think we should just surround them.”

At this point, the bearded man still had a considerable number of men. They could not afford to drop their guard.

Jiang Zhuge quickly laid out a plan, “Same as before, Ming Qi, you protect our stronghold. Kong Sha and I will go and properly meet the bearded man to see whether he is indeed so obstinate.”

“Understood, don’t worry. I can hold the fort. You can go.”

Jiang Zhuge and Kong Sha promptly led four hundred men and left Bamboo Forest Valley overnight, heading straight to the territory of the Xue Brothers.

They didn’t realize that this was a trap. The bearded man had quietly allowed Xiao Bai’s men into the dark area, assuming this was just him being unyielding.

Jiang Zhuge and Kong Sha quickened their pace.

Suddenly, something strange occurred.

Several fireballs flew over, descending like meteors from the sky, breaking the quiet surroundings.

The horses ahead abruptly halted.

A group of monsters suddenly pounced from the front, with Winged Dragons taking the lead in attacking their crowd.

Jiang Zhuge shouted, “We’re ambushed!”

Listening to him, Kong Sha remarked, “That’s strange. We’ve been watching the bearded man’s men. If they were to lay an ambush halfway, we would definitely discover it.”

Jiang Zhuge was also doubtful. To confirm his suspicions, he hurriedly turned around, fearing he would really fall into an ambush.

As a result, Xiao Han and a large crowd rushed out from behind, the assault even more fierce, blocking his retreat, leaving them instantly in a dire situation.

Jiang Zhuge confirmed it was indeed a trap.

Kong Sha said, “How could this be? The damned bearded man is not that smart. Even if he wanted to do this, he wouldn’t have this many men.”

From both left and right sides, the assault burst forth, more ferocious than that of the bearded man’s men.

Jiang Zhuge shook his head, saying, “No, these should not be the bearded man’s men, these are Xiao Bai’s men.”

As he finished speaking, Xiao Bai was already leading his men towards them.

Sword lights dazzled, fireballs flew all over the place, and horses neighed in fear.

Kong Sha asked, “Weren’t the rules such that only the Third Demon’s men were allowed into the dark region?”

Jiang Zhuge shook his head, saying, “Forget it. We must rush out soon, or it will get dangerous.”

But at this point, they were already surrounded. It wasn’t easy to break out.

Xiao Bai was leading over five hundred men, with thousands of monsters and Winged Dragons, pushing forward oppressively.

Xiao Bai sneered, saying, “Thinking to escape? No way. You have not yet asked for my permission.”

More than half of the circle was already formed. The main forces of the New City Sect were most likely here. There was no way they could let them escape.

The pressure began to close in.

A resounding roar echoed like thunder, shaking heaven and earth. It was especially audible in this quiet night, audible to people afar, like Ye Chen who was near.

He was awakened.

Li Mo ran over, also unsure what had happened.

Guo Yuyun said, “Seems like there’s a fight ahead.”

Ye Chen thought for a while, concluding from the chaos that it was highly likely related to the New City Sect, Xue Brothers, and the bearded man.

Li Mo said, “This damned bearded man is not content. He is continuously seeking an opportunity to take us down.”

Ye Chen suddenly remembered what happened at dusk, asking, “Li Mo, are you sure that there were fewer men on duty at the entrance from the Third Demon today?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Ye Chen considered for a moment, saying, “It could be possible that the Third Demon’s men have come in.”

“How can it be? According to the agreement, they shouldn’t do this.”

“Who cares about agreements right now? Hurry up, the people of the New City Sect might be in danger.”

Ye Chen led his men and swiftly moved toward the place where the fighting sounds originated.

By that time, Jiang Zhuge had already fallen into the trap and it was hard for him to get out.

Li Mo exclaimed in surprise, “Not good, our men have fallen into the trap. We must rescue them.” As he spoke he prepared to lead his men to charge in.

Ye Chen immediately yelled, “Hold on. Charging in will be useless. We need a plan. We have to find a way to save them. The question is how.”

Thank goodness they still had over sixty disciples on hand who could be of use.

They couldn’t afford to panic at this point. Ye Chen had calmed down considerably. He looked around and asked, “Is there anyone who knows the topography of this place? Tell me.”
