Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 682 - 682 668 Hooked

Chapter 682: Chapter 668: Hooked Chapter 682: Chapter 668: Hooked Shi Xueqin still didn’t believe it, saying, “No, my brother would never kill someone without a good reason.”

“Really! Only you would think so highly of me, you’re too naive,” said Longhun.

Shi Xueqin knew that Longhun had experienced a lot when he came to Dragon Slayer Island. He hardly talked about past events, but she knew it was those experiences that made him who he was now.

“Why didn’t you just stay on Dragon Slayer Island? Why did you have to come here, do you not know the dangers?”

“I’m after revenge!”

Longhun slightly chuckled and asked, “What if one day, you realize you are wrong, what will you do?”

“Realize I’m wrong, wrong about what?”

“Never mind.” Longhun didn’t know how to explain, but he just couldn’t bring himself to kill the girl in front of him. How could this be? Such a thing never used to happen, and all of a sudden he had become this way. Had he become overly sentimental?

Shi Xueqin asked, “Fishing, how do you plan to fish?” It seemed that he was not going to tell her why he wanted to kill his beloved.

“I’ll use a hook to fish!” answered Longhun.

“Brother Longhun, tell me, do you want to catch them so they’ll take us off this island?”

“No need. When the time comes, you just need to remember one thing: hide, don’t get caught, don’t try to fight to the death. It’s pointless. Once you get the chance, escape. There will be someone to take us off this place.” Longhun had two ideas, either to get out by himself which he knew would consume more time, or the people from the Xuan Clan could take them away. He had to work out a path, then Mitra Monk and the others can get through the Lost Soul System quickly by following his route.

“What if they never come?” asked Shi Xueqin.

“I’ve never considered that. But I believe they will definitely come back. With such tempting bait right in front of them, it’s hard not to come take a bite. Even watching it makes me salivate,” declared Longhun.

“Hopefully as you said, don’t celebrate too soon. You might get eaten by your own bait,” Shi Xueqin replied.

“That’s a possibility, no one can guarantee anything.”

Shi Xueqin quietly nibbled on the roast meat, deep in thought.

“Just remember what I said, don’t try to be a hero. I know you’ve been practicing martial arts diligently, but I’ve never advocated for recklessness. First, learn how to survive, dying meaninglessly is worthless.”

“Although you say that, I know that you still love the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“I certainly do not love the Dragon Slaying Clan. I’m not that noble. Really, don’t think of me as being that noble,” argued Longhun.

“Aren’t you afraid they’ll eat you?”

“If a fisherman is afraid of his bait being eaten, how can he fish?”

Shi Xueqin admired his confidence.

“If they catch up and you’re surrounded, surrender. Don’t fight to the death. Preserve your life and play the pity card, understand! If you die, then everything ends. Only by staying alive can you remain meaningful.”

“If those disciples found out you said these things to me, how could they follow you into battle?”

Longhun glanced around and said, “Yes, you’re right. That’s why I cautiously told you and didn’t tell them. I fear that you are naive, understand!”

Shi Xueqin glanced at him.

“There’s nothing shameful about it, and there are no absolute guarantees. First, learn to survive.”

“If I become a hindrance, will you kick me aside and run for your life?”

“It’s possible, watch out for my back foot,” he joked.

Shi Xueqin coldly answered, “Do you have to portray yourself as such a terrible person to be happy?”

“But I am a terrible person,” Longhun declared.

“I don’t believe that.”

“Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter, sooner or later you’ll have to face the bitter truth, then you can only blame yourself.”

At that moment, Jing Po came over and greeted Longhun.

“How is it?”

“Seven or eight have died, a dozen or so are injured, but none are severely wounded.”

“Good, if I’m not mistaken, it should be tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

“Listen to me when the time comes,” Longhun continued to eat.

He had to pave a path for Mitra Monk and the others to pass through within three days.

“Go, there shouldn’t be anything happening tonight, we can still enjoy a peaceful night.” As Longhun spoke, Jing Po left.

“What if you’ve miscalculated?” Shi Xueqin curiously asked.

“Honestly, I’ve never considered that, but do you think I would miscalculate?”

“Why not?!”

“I won’t make that calculation mistake. Even if I did, I’d marry you.”

Shi Xueqin perked up excitedly, saying, “Really? You better not go back on your word.”

Longhun glanced over and laughed, “You’re quite eager to marry me.”

“I’ll hold you to that. If the fish doesn’t show, you marry me. No going back.”

Longhun gave a cold laugh, “I won’t back out, but are you sure you won’t?”

“Definitely not, we could even set the wedding date now if you agree.”

Longhun chuckled, “You’re really in a hurry. Aren’t you aware of my current risk? I could kick the bucket at any time!”

“Time waits for no one. Once it’s your time to go, that’s it. It’s better to make the most of it now.”

“Hmm, I resonate with that.”

“Okay then, let us get engaged. Right away.”

“Might as well just elope immediately. There’s no need for an engagement.”

Shi Xueqin perked up, “Really! Well, why not? Our secluded location gives us endless possibilities.”

“You’re not just impatient, you’re straight to the point.”

“Better be forthright and cherish every moment. Who knows when it could be our last? We wouldn’t have another chance.”

Longhun replied, “You should save some energy., there will be big movements tomorrow. You could be in danger if you get weak. Survival is priority.”

“No way, I won’t get weak that easily.”

“What the heck are you thinking about all day.”

“Apart from avenging my father, I want to get married and have children.”

“You can get married and raise children even without pursuing your revenge,” Longhun replied.

“For my father’s sake, I have to take revenge. However, I can certainly marry you first, and we can have children later.”

“But we still don’t know who is the actual murderer of your father.”

“With all those people guarding my father, the only one capable of killing him would have been Su Zhanze from Immortal City Sect.”

Longhun paused before asking, “What if the one who killed your father is not him?”

“You mean Fang Ziren from Heavenly City Sect? I heard he was the first to run away when the Sea Demon attacked,” Shi Xueqin replied.

Longhun stood up, “Well, enough speculating for today. Let’s get some rest.”

“Weren’t we supposed to consummate our marriage?”

“You’re relentless, already focused on wedding night, I give up on you.”

“It’s what you said.”

“Hurry up and rest, we need to figure out how to escape tomorrow.” Longhun firmly believed that the Xuan Clan would definitely take action.

The night was growing darker.

An aide to Xuan Wu, Xuan Lin, returned.

Xuan Lin said, “Boss, it’s impossible to kill them with the Lost Soul System. They’ll break free sooner or later. Why don’t we seize this opportunity? With so few people in Longhun’s party, we can easily take them out with two hundred men.”

“I would love to, but the Clan Chief is overly cautious, what can I do?” Xuan Wu replied.

“Chief, they only have seventy or eighty people. Some died yesterday, and others were injured. Now they’re exhausted, it’s a prime opportunity for us. Why not seize it, eliminate Longhun? We may not have another chance like this in the future,” Xuan Lin replied.

“I want to. ”

“Our chief is overcautious. We can’t afford to miss this top-notch opportunity. Killing Longhun can nip their plans of reaching the Demon Valley in the bud. As long as he’s alive, we’re in constant danger. We can’t lose the chance because of our chief’s caution,” added Xuan Lin.

“What are you suggesting?”

“Even without informing the Clan Chief, we can easily gather two hundred people. We should take advantage of this opportunity. If it goes wrong, we can still escape. What’s there to worry about?” Xuan Lin continued, the odds of defeating those seventy or eighty people seemed pretty good to him.

Another aide chimed in, “I agree, we can’t afford to miss this golden opportunity. Are we just going to stand by and watch them crack the Lost Soul System and escape?”

“Right, we don’t know when the people from the Demon Domain will arrive. By then, Longhun would have already cracked the Lost Soul System and escaped,” Xuan Lin added, noting the quick progress Longhun’s party made yesterday. They didn’t have much time left.

Xuan Wu asked, “What’s your plan?”

“We should seize this opportunity and kill Longhun. With him dead, they’ll be like headless dragons. Only then can the Demon Valley be safe. It’s better than standing idle foolishly,” Xuan Lin stated.

Immediate support came from the back, “I agree with Xuan Lin. We should do it.”

The scene quickly spiraled into a chaotic discussion, as everyone raced to voice their opinions.

Xuan Lin pressed, “Chief, our opportunities are limited. Once we miss it, we may not get another.”

Xuan Wu remained silent.
