Chapter 649 - 649 635 The Eve of the Attack on Wasteland

Chapter 649: Chapter 635: The Eve of the Attack on Wasteland City Chapter 649: Chapter 635: The Eve of the Attack on Wasteland City The sky had turned dark.

In Wasteland City, on the city wall, a lone figure sat. It was Ye Chen. Today, the Third Demon’s men would reach the city.

Tonight, it feels like the calm before a storm.

Wan Danrong, brandishing food, hurried over with Guo Yuyun not far behind her.

Wan Danrong looked at the lost-in-thought Ye Chen, asking, “What’s on your mind, Master?”

Ye Chen turned his head, shrugged and said, “I’m wondering if ghosts really exist in this world.”

“Ghosts! Don’t scare me. I don’t believe in that stuff.”

“He’s thinking about Wei Yiling, wondering if he can have a love affair with her even in death,” Guo Yuyun speculated.

“You little troublemaker,” Ye Chen remarked.

“She’s been gone for so long, why are you dwelling on it!” Guo Yuyun said.

Rong’er asked, “Are you really thinking about Ling’er?”

Ye Chen said, “I feel like I’ve been going in circles. At first, I thought I had figured things out, but then suddenly, the clarity dissolves, and I find myself circling again. In the beginning, I arrived at Wasteland City, and a torrent of events occurred. They told me, everything would be fine once Gua Zhengnie is dealt with. But then, my own father said, all will be well when the Dragon Slaying Clan is handled.

But things didn’t go according to plan. The Dragon Slaying Clan was taken care of, but everything didn’t get better! Now, we have Yuan Menhai to deal with. I suspect someone’s going to say again that everything will fall into place once Yuan Menhai is eliminated, but I have my doubts now. Maybe the problems have always been there. Life is just one big ball of trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Rong’er seemed rather moved and asked, “Are you feeling exhausted?”

Ye Chen gave a weak smile and said, “I just feel like I’m spinning, constantly spinning and circling back to the start. It’s an endless cycle.”

Rong’er agreed, saying, “In the world, one can only do what one can control.”

Ye Chen said, “I hope this is the last cycle. Otherwise, it’s truly exhausting.”

Guo Yuyun said, “What’s the point of thinking so much? It’s pointless. I believe the future will be bright. Don’t overthink, just take action when things come your way.”

Ye Chen looked at her and said, “You seem very relaxed.”

“I’ve always been this relaxed. Many things are beyond our control. Just sort out your current affairs, and don’t worry about what might happen tomorrow.”

Rong’er nodded in agreement to Guo Yuyun’s words.

Ye Chen said, “I wish everyone could be as carefree as this girl.”

Rong’er disagreed, saying, “But I think what she said makes sense. We don’t know what might happen tomorrow, so we must live the present the best we can.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “That is true, but the key is how many people can truly live by it.”

Guo Yuyun chuckled a little and sat on a stone seat, staring into the darkness of the night, saying, “We should be thinking about how to deal with the Third Demon’s men tomorrow.”

Rong’er nodded and said, “You must be hungry by now. Hurry up and eat something. We need to rest early tonight. We have a lot to deal with tomorrow. We don’t know whether they will attack as soon as they arrive, or wait.”

Staring off into the distance, Guo Yuyun continued, “One can only look forward and keep moving. Always remember, the most important thing is to live well.”

Ye Chen took a sip of his wine.

Guo Yuyun asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

“Alright, everything you say is the ultimate truth.”

“I wouldn’t dare make such a claim. I’m simply speaking my mind,” Guo Yuyun retorted.

“Really! I can’t believe you can be modest too,” Ye Chen added.

At this, Guo Yuyun just gave a cold laugh and ignored him.

Rong’er said, “Yun’er is very well-experienced.”

“When did Rong’er learn to flatter people?” Guo Yuyun teased.

“Someone who’s seen the world can speak like this. It’s not flattery.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen said, “If that’s the case, then I am truly inexperienced.”

“Of all the people here, I am the least experienced. Both of you have experienced much more than I have,” Rong’er remarked.

“Regardless of what you’ve seen, a sweet potato is still a sweet potato.”

Guo Yuyun said, “Looks like you’re the real sweet potato.”

Ye Chen gave a forced laugh, grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite, realizing that he was genuinely hungry.

Jiang Zhuge arrived from below and said, “Sect Leader, there you are.”

“Hmm, what’s going on?” Ye Chen stood and asked.

“The people from Immortal City and Demon Palace City have entered the Demon Valley’s mountain range.”

“Has the fight begun?”

“Indeed, they’ve waged one battle. I assume their purpose was to stall the forces of Immortal City and Demon Palace.”

“Of course they’ll find ways to stop them,” Ye Chen said. “By the way, how are things with Can Mo?”

“They’ve received our message by carrier pigeon. Shi Mu agrees. As long as we start fighting here and manage to cope with the Third Demon, he will immediately propose to Yang Jing to seize control of Bishui City. Currently, there aren’t many people in Bishui City. Many have been called back by Yuan Menhai for use against us.”

Ye Chen listened and nodded.

Jiang Zhuge continued, “If we can seize Bishui City, Yang Jing can also cause quite some troubles for the Third Demon. They would be constantly pressured. At that time, as long as we can hold on here and prevent them from winning, we can squeeze them from both ends. Let’s see what they will do.”

“Well, what about the Xue Family brothers?” At this moment, the Xue Family brothers hadn’t arrived yet.

“They will leave tomorrow and should be able to get here in time.”

“They shouldn’t rush. Getting here on time will do. I think the people from Third Demon might guess that we are joining hands with the Xue Family brothers. Tell them to be careful on the road.”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhuge said, “Even if they guess, it won’t help. Xiao Bai is gone, and they can’t mobilize many people. But rest assured, I’ll also remind them to be careful.”

“Yes, we must be cautious. Yuan Menhai is no fool.” Ye Chen said.

“Yes, the Sect Leader is correct.” Jiang Zhuge agreed.

Ye Chen stood up and said, “It’s been a long night. Who knows when the fighting will end tomorrow. Let’s go back and get some rest.”

Guo Yuyun also stood up.

“Be careful. Although we are prepared, our numbers are not as great as the Third Demon’s.” Ye Chen said.

“Yes, I understand.”

The night gradually quieted down.

Walking on the familiar road inevitably brought back memories. Guo Yuyun and Wan Danrong stayed close behind, their laughter bringing a touch of comfort to the situation.

Ye Chen remembered the night before his wedding. It was the same street, but that night, red lanterns were hung. In the blink of an eye, the past was gone.

Tomorrow, he could fight with the people of Third Demon, avenging those who died, including Ling’er and Feng Niang.

Ye Chen suddenly called out, “Both of you, come here.”

Guo Yuyun asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Even though we are prepared, I cannot guarantee that we can hold off the enemy. If something unexpected happens, ignore everything and follow Jiang Zhuge and the others to escape.” Ye Chen said.

“We have been preparing for ten days, we have the defense system. Don’t say such demotivating things, give us some confidence” Guo Yuyun seemed more confident than him.

But she didn’t know, after all that Ye Chen had experienced, especially Ling’er’s incident, he dared not be careless. One slip could result in death. He said, “Of course I know we have the defense system, but what if something happens? I am not Yuan Menhai, I don’t know what he will bring. But I heard, recently, he has been practicing some wicked techniques.

Wasteland City has no walls. We can only rely on the defense system, which is not completely reliable. They are bringing 1500 men. I have no idea how many mutant beasts they have, but it certainly won’t be few, definitely more than us.”

Ye Chen had a somber expression, more serious than ever before.

“You were never like this before,” Guo Yuyun said.

“Before, Ling’er was still alive,” Ye Chen retorted sharply.

Upon hearing these words, Guo Yuyun understood and refrained from joking around anymore.

“Did you hear me clearly! If anything unforeseen happens, follow orders and retreat. If you don’t, I swear I’ll kick you out right now,” Ye Chen threatened.

Seeing Ye Chen’s seriousness, Guo Yuyun couldn’t believe it. She had never seen Ye Chen so grave before. But she didn’t realize that this was the exact path Ling’er walked on with him on her last night. The decrepit street reminded him of her, inducing his solemnity.

“Stop being so fierce! I got it, I’ll listen to you,” Guo Yuyun said dismissively.

Ye Chen continued, “Rong’er, the same goes for you. I will surely help you avenge your losses. Don’t rush, we have to take this slowly. Even if we fail this time, there will always be a next time.”

Rong’er nodded in understanding.

Ye Chen added, “Although the Xue Family brothers will come to aid us, we are, after all, in a broken city. At present, the Third Demon’s strength is indeed greater than ours, and we don’t know by how much. In any case, always consider the worst, it won’t be wrong.”

Guo Yuyun pouted, apparently not very convinced.

“I’m not joking. They will definitely use every means necessary. Although the defense system is set up, it isn’t foolproof either,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun turned to Rong’er, whispering, “He must be missing Ling’er.”

Rong’er nodded slightly. She understood. She had seen Ye Chen’s struggle to pull himself together.

Ye Chen didn’t want another Ling’er to happen. He couldn’t deal with Ling’er’s death, being paralyzed once and then never waking up.

Now something had happened in Central Plains again. To be honest, he didn’t have confidence. He knew how formidable Longhun was. He didn’t know if the people of Xianmo Realm could hold off. What if they failed?

He didn’t dare think further. Although Guo Yuyun was right, who could know what would happen next? Thinking about it wouldn’t help, but how could one not worry or fret?
