Chapter 742 - 742 728 The Overall Situation Is Paramount

Chapter 742: Chapter 728: The Overall Situation Is Paramount Chapter 742: Chapter 728: The Overall Situation Is Paramount After hearing this, the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect, Song Zheng’an, said, “In that case, why don’t we fight back and kill them off together, and kill that Dragon Soul first.”

“We can’t,” Guo Mingyu replied without any hesitation. They were still several miles away from the battleground, having already entered the first ring. The start of the fight would surely alarm even more Winged Dragons in the vicinity, all of them rushing to the scene. It was uncertain whether they would get entangled with them. He continued, “We have already entered the Beast Ring of Kunlun Mountain. This place is filled with Winged Dragons and mutant beasts. The loud noise is bound to alert the nearby beasts. If we go back, we are likely to encounter them, bringing trouble upon ourselves. Furthermore, the Dragon Soul will certainly not wait for us to return.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Yi of the Withered Leaf Sect was reminded, “That’s right, Senior Brother Guo is correct. This place is not like the outside world, we should be aware of the many dangers around us. Besides, our top priority is to get the Wolf King’s Ring, that is our main objective.”

When Guo Mingyu heard this, he agreed that as long as the Xuan Clan was unharmed, the bigger picture remained important.

Song Zheng’an said, “It’s a pity that we missed an opportunity.”

However, Guo Mingyu laughed and said, “Sect Leader Song, the Wolf King’s Ring is our utmost concern. The reason we came here is to find the Wolf King’s Ring. I would like to know how long the people of the Immortal City Sect can withstand their current plight.”

Guo Mingyu’s words brought Song Zheng’an back to reason. He nodded and said, “Senior Brother Guo is right, the Wolf King’s Ring is of utmost importance now.”

“As long as we find the Wolf King’s Ring and seal off all the Raging Wolves, we will still have time to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan. We must not let the Wolf King’s Ring fall into the hands of the Dragon Soul. If the Wolf King’s Ring ends up in their hands, it will be the end of everything,” Guo Mingyu warned cautiously.

“I understand.”

Guan Yi, the Sect Leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, said, “The Dragon Slaying Clan being tied up is actually a great opportunity for us to escape from them.”

Guo Mingyu nodded and seeing smoke still billowing from across the field, with some flying wild Winged Dragons heading towards the smoke, exactly as he had expected, he said, “Let’s move quickly, we can’t stay here any longer.”

Soon, they withdrew and prepared to approach the second ring.

Guan Yi said, “It seems they have been careless and set up a trap for the Xuan Clan.”

Song Zheng’an said, “They should have told us, so we could have surrounded them together.” He still felt it was a missed opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yi laughed, “Setting up a trap here is not a good idea. Those creatures that can fly and run will not listen to you. If used correctly, you can trap them, if not, you might bring disaster upon yourself.”

Song Zheng’an nodded after hearing this.

Guan Yi said, “But it is indeed a good strategy. If we can truly let these monsters entangle them, it will greatly benefit our acquisition of the Wolf King’s Ring.”

Guo Mingyu knew it all too well, but he also knew that it was just the beginning. There were Demon Gods in the second ring. His memory of his visit to Kunlun Mountain in his youth was still fresh in his mind. His third senior had been killed on that visit, and the memory had stayed with him for decades since.

During all this time, he had not set foot in Kunlun Mountain again. The power of the Demon God would surely have grown stronger than before.

Song Zheng’an said, “The second ring, I heard it is the domain of the Demon God.”

Guo Mingyu nodded and said, “Yes, he is the greatest ruler in the second ring, with the most tremendous power.”

Guan Yi asked, “Senior Brother Guo, it seems you have been to Kunlun Mountain before?”

Guo Mingyu replied, “Yes, it was twenty years ago. At that time, I was still young and brave. I accompanied my third senior and a group of disciples to Kunlun Mountain to find stronger Immortal Beasts.

At that time, we young disciples ventured into the second ring and encountered the followers of Demon God. What followed was a great battle in which many disciples were killed. My third senior was killed in that war.”

Upon hearing this, Song Zheng’an shuddered with fear.

“We did not expect it, we were just too young. The Demon God at that time was not as powerful as it is now.”

Guo Mingyu’s words immediately put them on high alert.

“Anyway, it’s genuinely dangerous. This time we come in, it’s best to avoid the Demon God. Unless necessary, don’t get entangled with them.” Guo Mingyu glanced at Song Zheng’an and Guan Yi before continuing, “The second ring is much more complex than the first. The first one is populated by beasts, creatures that are powerful but not very intelligent, hence easy to escape from. But in the second ring, in addition to beasts, there are demons and spirits – all creatures that have absorbed spiritual energy for thousands of years and managed to survive there are definitely not simple. They are not sweet potatoes.

If they were sweet potatoes, they wouldn’t have been able to survive here. So one must be cautious. If we really encounter them, there is no need to panic, but reason must prevail, we can’t afford to make any mistakes. If we need to retreat, we should retreat, and we shouldn’t act on impulse.”

Years ago, he and his fellow disciples had suffered a tragic loss because they were too immature and impetuous. If they had been more calm at that time, his third senior would probably not have died, resulting in the death of many of his subordinates.

That bloody lesson was something he could never forget, as if it had happened just yesterday.

Today, as he led the team into Kunlun Mountain, he was no longer that young lad. He felt responsible for these people’s lives, and also for the entire realm of immortals and demons. His duty was too great to be taken lightly.

Guan Yi and Song Zheng’an were both left speechless.

Guo Mingyu continued, “If something really happens, remember the bigger picture, remember why we are here in Kunlun Mountain.”

If he could obtain the Wolf King’s Ring, even at the cost of his life, he would not hesitate. He knew he could not afford to lose. There was no retreat in the world of immortals and demons; it was the darkest hour.

Guo Mingyu continued, “The sooner we get the Wolf King’s Ring, the fewer deaths there will be.”

He could imagine the current state of Immortal City; it was surely besieged by the Wandering Wolves. It was doubtful whether it could hold or not and for how long, nothing could be guaranteed.

Hearing these words, Guan Yi and others took them seriously as well.

“Our responsibility is great. The world of immortals and demons has never been so dangerous. If the Wolf King’s Ring falls into Longhun’s hands, the human world will turn into hell.”

Song Zheng’an looked at Guo Mingyu.

They continued to move forward. The sound of killing gradually disappeared behind them. The light ahead was just as dazzling. The unstoppable energy was constantly pouring into the earth.

The earth seemed to undulate.

Giant beasts were flying chaotically above their heads, as if they had been summoned, heading towards the direction of the killing sound.

“We are lucky that we didn’t get involved. If we did, who knows what troubles we might’ve gotten into.” Guo Mingyu’s disciple Ling Jian said.

Song Zheng’an felt a shiver down his spine and said, “Good, they all went in and got involved with the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

On the northeastern side of the mountain.

People from the Evil and Demon Domains had been here for more than ten days.

They had been hunting beasts all this time.

But in those ten days, catching beasts was like nabbing piglets that had escaped from their pen. After setting traps and deploying mechanisms, they had only caught a little over two hundred beasts and lost more than ten people.

They were still a long way from their goal of catching thousands.

The third elder of the Demon Domain, Xishan Gui, was getting impatient. He grumbled, “Damn, these creatures are too annoying. When can we finally complete our task?”

The second elder of the Demon Domain, Yin Jue, laughed, “Hey, just relax. Haven’t we already caught over two hundred?”

“I think we should use a net to catch fish, pulling in a large group at once. It’s better to catch hundreds at a throw. When will this cause be over otherwise? This godforsaken place, all I can smell is the stench of corpses.”

“Heh, sure, you might actually draw in a big crowd, but can you assure that you can catch them all with a throw of the net? If we provoke the big shots around, and they all pounce on us, we might attract disaster. Instead of us capturing beasts, the beasts will capture us.”, he chided.

The third elder of the Evil Domain, Huan Huo, laughed in the distance, “He’s just restless because he hasn’t been with a girl in a while.”

Xishan Gui glanced at him and sneered, “I really think this method is too stupid. It’s been over ten days and we’ve only caught a little over two hundred and lost more than ten men. How many can you catch in a year?”

“That’s not too bad, we caught more than two hundred.”

“It would be better to catch more than two hundred with one throw.”

Huan Huo laughed again, “You were already told to bring a girl, but you didn’t listen. Feeling cold and lonely now?”

“I feel like I’ve been fished out of a cesspool, smelling of shit. I don’t know what those damned beasts eat, but they stink of shit. It kills my appetite.”, Xishan Gui complained.

“Try harder, it’s rare that there’s no interference from the Immortal and Demon Realm. If we truly can catch two thousand, our situation will greatly improve.”

“Damn, two thousand. It takes more than ten days to catch two hundred. It would take over a hundred days to catch two thousand. I might spend winter here!”, he whined.

“However, this method is indeed a bit stodgy. If there’s a better way, it would be worth considering.”

“Exactly. I suggested it to the two leaders and they paid me no heed. What are we to do?”

“Stop whining and work hard. If you don’t want to stay here until winter and get frozen into an icicle, then buckle up,” Huan Huo said.

“I wonder what the two leaders have on their minds. I suggested casting the net, but they simply wouldn’t listen. So annoying.”

Xishan Gui was eating.

The fog gradually dissipated. Suddenly, an earth-shattering noise came from the side of the mountain, breaking the tranquility. It immediately drew their attention.
