Chapter 701 - 701 687 Anxious Waiting

Chapter 701: Chapter 687: Anxious Waiting Chapter 701: Chapter 687: Anxious Waiting Sky Domain City, inside the grand hall.

Having learnt about Gui Lang’s conditions, Yuan Menhai, of course, felt quite upset and had cursed for about two hours.

Even so, he calmed down, then asked, “Are you sure the No. One Heroes have already negotiated with them?”

Ling Bo replied, “Although we’re not certain, it should be true. The No. One Heroes are now very anxious, too. They don’t want to be caught between fending us off and dealing with Gui Lang.”

That said, Yuan Menhai had doubts, “This damnable Shi Mu, is he really associated with the New City Sect?”

“If they, out of helplessness, make peace with Gui Lang and join forces against us, it means they’re likely not connected to the New City Sect. If they were connected, they wouldn’t be so eager to negotiate.” Ling Bo conjectured.

Yuan Menhai nodded in agreement after hearing this. It seemed very logical. Retracing the conversation, he queried, “Does Gui Lang claim to be able to beat, even exterminate, the No. One Heroes?”

Zun Yu answered, “Yes, that’s what he said. He even made a special request before leaving, reminding us to tell you those exact words.”

Yuan Menhai, deep in thought, pondered if Gui Lang could really annihilate the No. One Heroes. If so, it would be inconsequential to give him some of his territories. If the No. One Heroes were entirely eradicated, wouldn’t that leave only the New City Sect to deal with? If that happens, circumstances could change significantly.

At present, the Third Demon is fearful and unsure of whether they should fight the No. One Heroes or the New City Sect. If they really exterminate the No. One Heroes and collaborate with Gui Lang, the territories they lost could be regained from the No. One Heroes.

It would be worth it.

Ling Bo stated, “I think it’s worthy of consideration.”

Yuan Menhai went on to ponder: they were in a state of being attacked from both sides, constantly losing power due to the New City Sect and the No. One Heroes. It was particularly distressing, and he didn’t know when things would finally collapse. He felt he had no better alternative and stated, “Okay, send Gui Lang a letter. Tell him, if he genuinely possesses the ability to obliterate the No. One Heroes, I can meet his conditions. Let’s deal with the No. One Heroes first.”

Luo Hai commented, “Gui Lang, this shameless person has posed such severe conditions. It’s such a colossal demand. If we agree, we will lose a third of our territory.”

However, Ling Bo contended, “If we can annihilate the No. One Heroes, we can always reclaim the lost land.”

Yuan Menhai nodded slightly, stating, “Ling Bo, you’re right. If we can truly wipe out the No. One Heroes, we can retrieve what we’ve lost. We can still make a comeback. Then we will just need to handle the New City Sect.”

Left speechless, Luo Hai remained silent.

“Enough, stop dwelling on it. Go and get it done now.” Yuan Menhai commanded in irritation.

These guys were all the same. If he didn’t find help, it would inevitably drag them towards death, and probably suffer the same fate as Gua Zhengnie – getting assassinated. This had now become his last available straw for survival.

He had to use a part of his territory to extend his own life.

Shi Mu had relayed the negotiation situation to Ye Chen and was now waiting for Gui Lang’s response.

In the courtyard, the sky was slightly grey. Ye Chen and his group didn’t need to stay in the inn. Although their relationship with the No. One Heroes wasn’t public, they didn’t face any danger in Ghost City.

Shi Mu arranged a nice courtyard for them.

Rong’er was earnestly managing the maids to prepare dinner for the evening.

Guo Yuyun started questioning Ye Chen again, asking, “Aren’t you worried you’ve miscalculated this time?”

Ye Chen looked at her, inquired, “Miscalculated? How so?”

“What if the No. One Heroes don’t agree?”

“If they don’t agree, then they’re fools. Failing to immediately agree indicates only one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“They’re still negotiating with persons from the Third Demon.”

“That’s purely your speculation, without any evidence.”

“Only a sweet potato like you can’t see it clearly. I guess I can understand. It’s impossible for everyone to be as smart as me.”

“You’re indeed a self-conceited person.”

“Such good conditions indicate they’re negotiating with people from the Third Demon, which is why they’ve not consented yet. However, they should agree soon.” Ye Chen affirmed confidently.

Hearing some of the conversation, Rong’er laughed, “Yes, I think the Sect Leader is right.”

“Hehe, he’s merely guessing randomly,” Guo Yuyun coldly retorted.

“If this can be guessed randomly, then you try guessing.” Ye Chen challenged.

“Why should I guess, it’s pointless.”

Just then, Can Mo rushed in and informed, “Jiang Zhuge has secretly let the Xue Family brothers and Shen Bai out. They are now getting closer to the Sky Domain City.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, instructing, “Don’t rush. No need to hurry. Remind them to be careful and not get noticed by others.”

“Don’t worry. They’ve split into several groups, all pretending to be there, moreover, they’re moving during the night, so they won’t be easily discovered.” Can Mo assured.

Rong’er was calling them over, “Dinner is ready.”

Ye Chen glanced over, addressed Can Mo, “Join us for dinner.”

Amused, Can Mo responded, “Thanks, but I’d rather not join you three lovebirds for dinner.”

Glancing back at him, Ye Chen exclaimed, “Hey, what do you mean by three lovebirds?”

“I’d much rather have dinner with the brothers, I feel more relaxed with them.”

“So you don’t feel relaxed with me.”

“No, it’s too serious. I prefer to be with them.” Can Mo had already gotten up and was heading out.

The girls all left as well, leaving only the three of them.

Ye Chen commented, “That guy sure can talk nonsense.”

Guo Yuyun had already hopped over, she didn’t have too many rules, filling her stomach was her first priority.

Ye Chen said to Rong’er, “Rong’er, don’t worry, as long as we finish off Yuan Menhai and the others, Wanshou City will still belong to the Wan Residence. You can go back there and continue to be the young lady.”

“I fear they might not want to return.” Guo Yuyun disdainfully said.

Of course, Rong’er understood what she meant, but said nothing.

“Why wouldn’t you want to return? Being a maid all your life isn’t good. You aren’t cut out to be a maid.” Ye Chen looked at Wan Danrong.

“But what if they really are willing to do that!” Guo Yuyun posed.

“You chatterbox. Even when you are eating, you don’t keep your mouth shut.”

Rong’er remained silent.

After finishing dinner, it was already dark.

Guo Yuyun planned to go shopping.

Rong’er suggested, “Master, let’s go shopping. Today is the Harvest Festival, and it’s bustling outside.”

But Ye Chen didn’t share the same thought, “What’s there to see? No matter where you go, it’s just to buy things; I don’t like buying.”

Yun’er added, “What he means is, if he follows us, he won’t get to see other pretty girls because he’s afraid we’d tease him.”

Ye Chen forced a smile, “Exactly, so why should I torture myself! If I really want to drink and have fun, I’d better go alone.”

Yun’er said, “Okay Rong’er, let’s go.”

“Dress up like a fairy, don’t attract any demons.” Ye Chen glanced at Guo Yuyun.

“You’re the fairy here.”

“Hehe, you might as well just go nude.”

She kicked at him, “You’re just upset because I’m too pretty.”

“You’re overthinking.”

Yun’er called out, “Let’s go.” She was already heading out with Rong’er.

“We’ll be back after we buy some food. Just wait at home,” Rong’er said.

Now only Ye Chen was left.

The surroundings were very quiet, the male crickets had started their competition again, to see whose chirping was the loudest.

In this quiet night, surprisingly, it was not boring at all, just frantically playing the same tune over and over.

One really didn’t know how the female crickets put up with it.

The moon hung in the middle of the sky.

Since the Xue Family siblings and Shen Bai had gone out, it was time for him to take action too. Though the disciples of the New City Sect from Tianle City couldn’t leave, he had to go to Sky Domain City. He was certain that directly handing over Sky Domain City to them was not feasible, neither did he feel assured.

If the visit went well, it could settle the troubles of the Wastelands once and for all.

After so much tribulation, if he could resolve the conflict with Yuan Menhai and Gui Lang all at once, it would be a blessing for everyone.

Remembering the defeat of the Dragon Clan, taking Ling’er back to the Wastelands with grand ambitions, and the many things that had happened in the last six months, he felt a sense of nostalgia and fatigue.

Ling’er’s death had left him at a loss.

Feng Niang’s death reminded him he could not escape and had to face everything.

Now, he finally had a way to settle everything. It felt like he had waited forever.

He had the chance to solve all problems completely.

He wondered how things were in the Central Plains.

But he had a bad premonition which he wasn’t sure if it came from being infected by that damn mother monkey who said that she had a bad premonition, and then he started to have one too.

Knowing that worrying was futile, he focused on settling the matters of the Wastelands as soon as possible.

Can Mo and Li Mo walked in.

Ye Chen turned to them and asked, “I thought it’s bustling outside. Why didn’t you go?”

“If the Sect Leader doesn’t go, how dare we,” Can Mo replied.

“I’m almost like a monk who doesn’t have interest in anything.”

Li Mo chuckled, “Our Sect Leader sure likes to joke. He must be thinking about the matters in Central Plains.”

“Wow, impressive. Now you can even guess what I’m thinking.”
