Chapter 629 - 629 615 Qiankun Energy Box

Chapter 629: Chapter 615: Qiankun Energy Box Chapter 629: Chapter 615: Qiankun Energy Box It was morning, the sky was already bright, and the mist hadn’t completely dispersed yet. The sun was already out.

Ye Chen was reading a book in the courtyard. Seeing this, Guo Yuyun, who had just woke up, laughed sarcastically, “Oh, so the sun is rising in the west now, huh?” Usually, he would only get up after she had started practicing her swordsmanship.

Ye Chen ignored her.

When He Xibai saw Yun’er getting up, noticing Rong’er hadn’t come so early this morning, he said, “Since you guys are up, I’ll go prepare something to eat,” and immediately left.

Guo Yuyun walked over.

Unsure what book he was reading with such seriousness, she looked over to find it was the Seven Stars Defense System book. She said, “Did you steal this from our Demon Palace City?”

Ye Chen chuckled, “Steal? I took it straight out, thank you very much.”

Guo Yuyun sniffed, “So you’re reading about this defense system now, will it be any use? Are you planning to build one here to defend against Beardy and Xiao Bai?”

Ye Chen ignored her again, contemplating something, but it seemed like he was missing an energy source.

“What’s the use of reading about defense systems now?”

“You crazy girl, always making trouble, never helping,” Ye Chen said, reclaiming the book from her.

“If you really want to use a defense system against Beardy and the others, you must be joking. Even if they were to attack in a few days, your system wouldn’t even be set up yet. A defense system only defends, it doesn’t attack; it might not kill your enemies.”

“Mind your own business,” Ye Chen muttered, “I haven’t seen you helping, just babbling around.”

“Hey, have you ever asked me for help?”

“Well, I’m asking you now. I need a source of energy. Can you help or are you just going to eat and drink and keep asking me for solutions?” Ye Chen pondered. Even if he knew how to set up the Seven Stars Defense System, it would still require an energy source. The Demon Palace City’s defense system was continuously absorbing energy, accumulating a protective power over many years. However, even if he managed to set up his defense system, the enemies wouldn’t give him the time to absorb energy.

It was a pity that the energy source from last time was already used up. It would have been better if he hadn’t used it.

Yun’er slapped him, yelling, “You’re the one who’s always eating and drinking.”

“Does my meat not hurt?” Ye Chen rubbed his stinging face.

“That’s what you get for annoying me.”

“If you don’t want me to annoy you, then stay away from me,” Ye Chen said, rubbing his aching head. “Having a defense system without energy is useless.”

Yun’er wasn’t sure what he was planning. However, when she set off this time, she did bring an energy source. Knowing that the New City Sect had been defeated and had fled to the dark zone, she believed they needed help. Hence, she prepared everything she could carry.

She dashed into her room, and soon came out with a box marked with the characters for “Qiankun.” She handed it to Ye Chen.

It was quite pretty. Ye Chen glanced at it. It looked like some kind of love token. He asked, “What’s this? A pledge of love? I don’t need that right now.”

Yun’er, flustered, said, “It’s a Qiankun Energy Box, do you want it or not?”

As soon as Ye Chen heard the word “energy”, he became excited, exclaiming, “You really did bring an energy source!” He was overjoyed — it was as if he had wished for something and it had come true.

“I knew you guys lost and ran to the dark zone. I didn’t know what you need so I brought this,” she explained.

Ye Chen smiled, saying, “Good job on this.” He happily cradled the Energy Box in his arms, as if it was a treasure.

“You still want to say I’m useless now?”

“Who would dare?”

“You’re changing your tune faster than flicking through a book, with a different mood every second.”

“This is great, really great.”

“What are you trying to do?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“This is useful, very very useful. Just wait and see. Now that I have it, I feel much more assured,” Ye Chen said.

“So, you admit that my coming to the Wastelands to find you was the right choice?”

Ye Chen chuckled, and asked, “Did you bring any other valuables?”

“Well, didn’t you see this big treasure right here – me?”

Ye Chen gave a small laugh, looking somewhat deflated.

“I had to sneak it out. My daddy usually keeps it hidden. It’s really hard to gather this energy.”

“It’s very helpful to us.”

Just then, He Xibai came in with a plate of dumplings, and interjected, “Come, eat up. It’s simple this morning – just dumplings.”

Ye Chen had already put the Qiankun Energy Box in his pocket. He said, “I’m starving.”

Guo Yuyun asked, “What do you need the energy for? Are you going to set up a defense system here, to protect this valley?”

“No, it’s for use when we get back to the Wastelands.”

“You haven’t even beaten Beardy and Xiao Bai yet, and you’re already thinking about going back to the Wastelands,” He Xibai scoffed.

“Planning ahead means fewer problems,” Ye Chen said.

“As if you can easily finish off Xiao Bai and Beardy. We don’t even know when we can leave.”

He Xibai looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Monkey, have you really figured out a way to deal with Beardy and Xiao Bai?”

“Eat your food. You know revealing the secrets of heaven is forbidden,” Ye Chen asserted.

“Even keeping it from me, how rude.”

As they were talking, Jiang Zhuge, Kong Sha, and Li Mo rushed over.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Ye Chen, it looks like you’re right, they’re indeed planning to make a move on us.”

Ye Chen lifted his head and asked, “Are they heading towards us?”

Jiang Zhuge responded, “Yes, a large group of people, their force is at least four to five times bigger than before. The bearded man and Xiao Bai have come too, it seems like they’re determined to seize the Bamboo Forest Valley in one swoop.”

“Approximately when would they arrive?”

“They should make it by noon.” Jiang Zhuge replied.

After hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent for a moment.

Kong Sha suggested, “Shouldn’t we inform the Xue brothers and Shen Bai right away, so they can rush here to help us?”

“No,” Ye Chen instantly refuted.

“If they don’t help us, we won’t stand a chance against Xiao Bai and the bearded man’s combined army.”

Ye Chen pointed out, “Have all of you forgotten about the ambush you encountered on your way here?”

This jogged Kong Sha’s memory as he replied, “You’re suggesting that there could be an ambush mid-way.”

“Nine times out of ten.”

“But we won’t be able to resist them.”

Ye Chen had already decided to abandon Bamboo Forest Valley but Kong Sha, who had just returned, didn’t know this yet. Ye Chen announced, “We abandon Bamboo Forest Valley.”

“Abandon it, just like that without putting up a fight?” Kong Sha queried.

“Avoiding a frontal confrontation with them is better for us. Of course, we have to fight, but our target is Chen Jiu guarding the entrance of the Dark Zone.” Ye Chen knew that Chen Jiu, with three to four hundred men, was stationed at the entrance to the Dark Zone.

“Attack Chen Jiu?”

“Yes. And we have to set a trap.” Ye Chen stood up, aware that the outcome of their battle against the forces of Xiao Bai and the bearded man hinged upon this strategy.

Ye Chen continued, “Prepare to abandon Bamboo Forest Valley and call over those minor leaders. We need to discuss the upcoming plan. Gather at the martial arts field shortly.”

Jiang Zhuge immediately went to make arrangements.

Noticing Ye Chen’s preparations for a major operation, Guo Yuyun asked, “Have you really come up with a plan to deal with them?”

“Whether we can annihilate some of them, this time will tell. If we can take down Xiao Bai’s forces, dealing with the bearded man will be a piece of cake,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

Ye Chen, who was in a hurry, quickly ate his meal and then instructed, “You should hurry up and eat too. Bring all the monsters that were brought from the Demon Palace along with you. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Got it.”

“Hurry up. Those who can’t keep pace will be left behind,” Ye Chen announced.

He Xibai asked, “Do we really have to go?”

“Ha, do you plan on staying here and starting a family!”

“Then where are you planning to go?”

“The world is vast, there are plenty of places we can go to,” Ye Chen was ready to leave.

“You haven’t finished eating yet,” Guo Yuyun called out.

“You guys need to hurry up. Gather at the martial arts field in one hour. We won’t wait for anyone. Don’t bother about anything useless, especially don’t carry your beds out,” Ye Chen insisted.

“Go away.”

Ye Chen arrived at the square where Jiang Zhuge had already summoned all the minor leaders and Kong Sha was performing the final assembly.

Ye Chen gathered everyone around and stated, “Whether we can clean up Xiao Bai’s group depends on the outcome of this battle.”

Li Mo was slightly surprised and asked, “Cleaning up Xiao Bai’s forces, how are we going to do that?”

Ye Chen explained, “The plan is to abandon Bamboo Forest Valley, retreat immediately, and then attack Chen Jiu at the entrance. Everyone will participate, there’ll be no reservations. We have one target: encircle them.”

“Even if we manage to corner them, Xiao Bai might lead his men back to rescue them, we might not have enough time,” Li Mo pointed out.

“Indeed, we won’t have enough time. However, my primary target isn’t Chen Jiu’s people, but all those from the Third Demon accompanying Xiao Bai to the Dark Zone,” Ye Chen clarified.

“But can we handle such a large group of people?”

“Relying solely on ourselves won’t work. We definitely need the assistance of the Xue brothers, Shen Bai, and Zhao Kun.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhuge understood that Ye Chen must have a strategy and urged him, “Why don’t you clearly explain your exact plan to us.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly and explained, “The exact plan is to attack Chen Jiu, forcing Xiao Bai to return.”

“The bearded man might also return,” Jiang Zhuge suggested.

“We can’t allow the bearded man to return. It would be more beneficial and we would stand a higher chance of winning if we can concentrate our forces to eliminate Xiao Bai first, and then deal with the bearded man. Therefore, I plan on asking the Xue family brothers to attack the bearded man’s stronghold, and force his forces to retreat.”

Jiang Zhuge stroked his chin.

Ye Chen further asked, “So who’s currently guarding the bearded man’s stronghold?”

“Tan Gao, I guess.”

“That’s good. When the time comes, I’ll ask the Xue family brothers to attack their stronghold, which should definitely lure the bearded man back.”

“So, the only ones coming back to the rescue would be Xiao Bai and his men,” Li Mo guessed.

Ye Chen nodded in affirmation, “Exactly. At this point, I will call Shen Bai and Zhao Kun.”
