Chapter 653 - 653 639 Spiritual Stone

Chapter 653: Chapter 639: Spiritual Stone Chapter 653: Chapter 639: Spiritual Stone Guo Yuyun said, “The former Sect Leader of Heavenly City Sect used spiritual stones to deal with demons and ended up blowing himself up with no remains left because he lost control.”

Cold sweat broke out all over Ye Chen.

Guo Yuyun gave a cold smile, looked at him, and said, “And you called me impulsive, I think you are more impulsive than me. You weren’t so hotheaded before. I think you drank yourself silly, and you accuse me of being drunk.”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

Rong’er said, “What should we do, it’s so hard to deal with, it might explode, and we might end up blowing ourselves to pieces.”

Guo Yuyun asked in confusion, “When did the spiritual stones of the Central Plains come to the Wastelands?”

Ye Chen suddenly started to wonder and asked, “Is there a difference between the spiritual stone and the heart stone?”

“Of course, there’s a difference, even a fool can see that. Yet you consider yourself smart, I think you’re the real Big Sweet Potato.” Guo Yuyun finally found an opportunity to berate him.

Ye Chen clearly understood her.

“I think it’s because you drank too much wine at the last meal, damaged your brain, and became stubborn.” Guo Yuyun had heard from Rong’er about Ye Chen’s incident in Wanshou City.

Rong’er hurriedly followed up, saying, “If that’s the case, isn’t it very dangerous, what should we do now?”

Guo Yuyun pondered for a moment, and said, “After all, we still have a defense system, and it seems we need to give you the Red Demonic Spirit. Let’s see if we can think of other ways.”

The Red Demonic Spirit, as if having been hibernating for a long time, said, “Why is it always me? Why am I always the one chosen for dangerous and explosive situations?” He complained. After all, that’s just the way he was; if he didn’t complain at a time like this, it wouldn’t be like him.

Rong’er chuckled.

“You’re easy to pick on. If not you, then who would we pick on?” Guo Yuyun said.

“You two guys are always ganging up on me, always bullying me.” The Red Demonic Spirit clamored.

“We just realised.”

The Red Demonic Spirit snorted.

“We really need to think of a solution. But for now, we have a defense system, and the Xue brothers have already come over so there’s no need to be so desperate to fight with them. Didn’t Ye Chen tell Yang Jing’s people to attack Bishui City? I think now is a good time.” Guo Yuyun worked out a plan.

Jiang Zhuge rushed over. He had heard that the current Yuan Menhai was fiercer than before, making it difficult for even Ye Chen to handle. He asked, “Sect Leader, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I just let my guard down. I didn’t expect Yuan Menhai to have sacred objects.” Ye Chen said.

“A spiritual stone isn’t exactly a sacred object, at least it doesn’t have the same demonic traits as an Immortal Pearl; it would explode once out of control.” Yun’er said.

“Such demonic traits.” Jiang Zhuge began to worry.

“Enough talk, I’m really a bit hungry, can we eat something?” Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen was indeed a little impulsive today. It was because Ling’er came to his mind and he was bent on revenge. He followed Guo Yuyun, scratching his chin, constantly pondering something.

Rong’er said, “Master, don’t think anymore, Rong’er said it right, we have plenty of time. We can certainly think of a solution, I believe.”

Ghost City.

The news from the Wastelands had already come. The sky was completely dark now.

Shi Mu and Wan Guangcai, had captured three people, who had been tortured, their faces bearing scars.

They had come to find Yang Jing, and also knew that Gui Lang was there.

Someone ushered the three subordinates in.

As soon as Shi Mu entered, he pointed at Gui Lang and said, “Brother Gui Lang, what exactly do you mean!”

Gui Lang took a big jump because those three people were the ones he sent to investigate whether Shi Mu had connections with New City Sect.

Yang Jing stood up, not knowing what was going on, and asked, “Shi Mu, what’s wrong?”

“I’d like to know what’s wrong too, we have to ask our brother Gui Lang about that.”

Gui Lang was somewhat embarrassed, not knowing what to say because he hadn’t expected Shi Mu to pull this off on him. Seeing the injured men, he knew they had been tortured.

Yang Jing looked at the three men who had been tortured and asked, “What on earth is going on with the three of you?”

The three men were so scared that they almost wet themselves. They immediately knelt down with their heads lowered, Gui Lang didn’t dare to make a sound either.

Shi Mu then said, “I’ve already said that we have nothing to do with New City Sect. It was made very clear last time that it was Feng Niang who saved the New City Sect Leader.”

Wan Guangcai said: “That’s right, the one who saved the injured was my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law and that child are acquainted, but I have no relation with him. I hate that little brat to death. If not for his wretched existence in the Wan Residence, we wouldn’t have ended in the plight we’re in now. I’ve already clarified that I have nothing to do with the New City Sect, and even explained to the city master, but why doesn’t anyone believe me?”

Shi Mu added: “If the city master still suspects me, then question it. But brother Gui Lang, you’re always sending people to tail us like parasites trying to dig up some dirt on us, where is our freedom? If I had people tailing you every day watching when you use the restroom, how would you feel?”

Yang Jing accused: “You lot were sent by Gui Lang to investigate Shi Mu and Wan Guangcai.”

The three subordinates listened but didn’t dare say anything with Gui Lang present.

Yang Jing quickly realized there was miscommunication, and was somewhat embarrassed.

Shi Mu knew Gui Lang didn’t have city master’s permission, so he said: “If you suspect us for this reason and have people trailing us, then I have a reason to suspect and have people trailing you too.”

Upon hearing this, Gui Lang’s eyes widened.

Shi Mu wasn’t afraid of him, especially since this was his position, and promptly said: “Rumour has it that you colluded with the New City Sect to kill Gua Zhengnie, if this is true, your relationship with the New City Sect is far beyond ours.”

When Gui Lang heard this, he became flustered and exclaimed: “That’s a plot by Yuan Menhai and Xiao Bai. They killed Gua Zhengnie with the intention of framing me. I have no affairs with the New City Sect.”

“Oh really? Also, there’s the possibility that since you initially collaborated with the New City Sect, leading them into Sky Domain City, and then helped murder Gua Zhengnie, it’s not inconceivable!”

Upon hearing this, Gui Lang became agitated and retorted: “Nonsense, if we were affiliated with the New City Sect, we wouldn’t have had a serious fight with that brat in Wanshou City and lost so many people.”

“Why not? This is how actors play in dramas!”

Gui Lang was so furious he was left speechless, he retorted: “You…”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jing quickly stood up, saying: “Enough!”

Gui Lang pleaded: “My city master, my loyalty to you is without question, you know my intentions. I could never betray you for the New City Sect.”

Yang Jing waved his hand, encouraging him to sit down.

How could Yang Jing not know how much Gui Lang had done for him? Without Gui Lang, the No. One Heroes would not have grown so quickly.

Shi Mu said: “I don’t want to suspect you, but you always watch me as such, making me uncomfortable. I have no freedom. Just because you suspect me, why can’t I suspect you?”

Yang Jing quickly urged Gui Lang to sit down, and said, “All right, let’s leave this matter be. Don’t bring it up going forward. Gui Lang, take your people and go.”

The three subordinates, although they did not admit why they were following Shi Mu and his group, had already confessed that they were Gui Lang’s men.

Shi Mu took a sip of his tea.

“Hey, we’re all brothers. At this critical juncture, we should help each other and strengthen our forces together,” said Yang Jing. He didn’t want to see any division as it wouldn’t benefit him.

Shi Mu smiled, and said: “I would certainly hope so, but there should be at least some respect. Always being watched like this is so uncomfortable.”

Yang Jing proclaimed, “Let it go. Let’s drop this matter.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Mu nodded, but Gui Lang was left with a strange expression.

Yang Jing said: “I am here today for serious business. Right now, the Third Demon and the New City Sect are already at each other’s throats in Wasteland City. The New City Sect set up the Big Dipper Seven Stars Defense System, thanks to the Xue brothers’ help, and has managed to withstand the Third Demon’s attack. I wanted your thoughts on who will emerge victorious.”

Shi Mu, having stirred up this mess, made Gui Lang unable to maintain dignity. Despite his anger bubbling beneath the surface, he muttered: “The strength should lie with the Third Demon. The Third Demon is stronger than the New City Sect, but their inability to immediately break the New City Sect’s defense system suggests that the Third Demon’s power is weakening and is not as formidable as before.”

Yang Jing agreed and kept nodding.

However, Shi Mu interjected: “Today, I came to discuss an important matter with the city master. We should seize this opportunity to capture Bishui City.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jing was stunned. He had this inclination in his mind, but had not yet made a decision due to his worry.

Shi Mu continued, saying: “This is a golden opportunity. Almost all of the Third Demons’ forces have been transferred to Wasteland City, allowing us to fully focus on conquering Bishui City. As long as we deploy enough manpower, capturing Bishui City will be easy. With Ming Bei and his forces constantly watching Ghost City, it is unbearable. It’s as if we’re being watched while changing clothes every day. Now is the time to seize Bishui City, thereby squeezing the sphere of influence of the Third Demon.”

“If we do this, will they retaliate against us in the future?” Yang Jing asked, noticeably concerned.

“My city master, what time do you think it is! Yuan Menhai, that despicable man, is bent on harnessing Hong Ying to deal with us, to encircle us and wipe us out. And you still worry about retaliation. Do you think if we are soft on them now, they won’t annihilate us when they have the opportunity?”

Upon hearing these words, Yang Jing fell silent for a while.

“It has already come to this. It’s either you live or I die. You should seize this opportunity once and for all to get rid of Bishui City, compress the Third Demon’s influence, and secure our own position. Now is the time. Make sure to think it through.”

The words from Shi Mu got Yang Jing itching to act.

Recalling Yuan Menhai and his men’s attempt to capture Hong Ying and surround him, he was no longer hesitant.

“Yuan Menhai is not a good man, without a shred of humanity.”
