Chapter 836 - 836 822 Crisis in Immortal City

Chapter 836: Chapter 822: Crisis in Immortal City Chapter 836: Chapter 822: Crisis in Immortal City Guo Mingyu blocked them for a second time, completely preventing them from catching up, and they were worried that Ye Chen and his companions would be surrounded. It was only after Ye Chen and the others used the same method to block the Third Demon and the evil beings from the other realms that their worries were completely dispelled. At this point, knowing that Ye Chen and his party had already escaped from Kunlun Mountain, they were somewhat relieved.

Now, as long as no accidents occurred, they needed to leave Kunlun Mountain quickly and then meet up with Ye Chen and his party.

Just then, Old Du brought a group of people to the foot of Immortal City Mountain, and Hu Nanyue had left Immortal City for two days. To Mitra Monk, two days was already enough time for them to take down the exhausted Immortal City.

Old Du had brought some hard power with him.

Mitra Monk immediately called over the various leaders to discuss and confirm the attack plan, setting the time for the assault. They had to ensure that Immortal City Sect would be taken within two days.

They already knew that the people from New City Sect had come out of Kunlun Mountain, and Longhun’s plan to snatch the ring had failed. They now urgently needed to take down Immortal City Sect. As long as they could quickly seize Immortal City Sect, when Longhun returned, they could then attack Demon Palace City.

This was their overall plan.

“All right, we are ready. As soon as it gets bright tomorrow, we will attack Immortal City Sect. We must take down Immortal City within two days,” Mitra Monk repeated, as if afraid they hadn’t heard him clearly.

How could those people not have heard clearly?

Mitra Monk continued, “Now is the best opportunity to attack Immortal City. They dodged a bullet with the Raging Wolf Clan; they are already utterly exhausted, making it the perfect time for us to take down Immortal City Sect. Now that Hu Nanyue and his group have left, leaving us a full two days. But if we can’t take down Immortal City Sect within these two days, it might become very difficult to conquer, because the people who entered Kunlun Mountain have come out. The task the Young Master gave us must be accomplished within two days.”

The people behind him nodded repeatedly, knowing all too well that disobeying the Young Master’s orders was not an option.

“Get some rest quickly. Tomorrow, if anyone dares to say they’re tired, I’ll have them feed the monsters,” Mitra Monk became increasingly aware that the situation was urgent. Initially, it was uncertain whether they could steal the ring, but now it was almost a certainty that the ring was out of reach. Their only way forward was to take down Immortal City to immediately turn the situation around.

With New City Sect and Guo Mingyu coming out, the situation was bound to become complicated. Perhaps they could rush back, potentially leading to two battles. But right now, they had the opportunity to swiftly take down Immortal City Sect and then wait for Longhun to arrive. By then, they would only need to attack Demon Palace City.

In the middle of the night, suddenly someone came back to inform Su Zhanze that there was a commotion in the forest outside the city.

“Commotion?” his assistant asked.

“Yes, there are hundreds of people stirring in the forest,” came the reply.

Su Zhanze muttered, “Are you sure you saw that right?”

“I’m certain,” the messenger Ren assured.

“Someone is stirring in the forest of our Immortal City Sect, who could it be?”

“That’s not yet clear.”

A subordinate behind them suggested, “Could it be the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

Upon hearing this, Su Zhanze’s eyes widened as he asked, “Impossible, right?”

Then someone else remarked, “Isn’t Sect Leader Fang Ziren from Heavenly City Sect keeping an eye on the people from Dragon Slayer Island?”

Hearing this, Su Zhanze let out a cold laugh and said, “That idiot, if he could really keep an eye on the Dragon Slaying Clan, that would truly be a miracle.”

At this moment, Yuan Jingxing rushed in with his men.

Yuan Jingxing was still somewhat shocked. Being called over in the dead of the third watch, how could he not be surprised? He asked, “What in the world happened?”

The situation was quickly explained to him.

“What, people from the Dragon Slaying Clan are in the forest? That can’t be right—Longhun should still be in Kunlun Mountain, he couldn’t have come back so quickly,” Yuan Jingxing said.

Yet someone from behind said, “What if it’s not Longhun leading the group, but someone else?”

Su Zhanze shuddered.

Yuan Jingxing suggested, “You suspect it’s Mitra Monk?”

Someone added, “If that’s the case, we should inform the Sect Leader immediately.”

Yuan Jingxing asked, “How many people are there?”

“We’ve only spotted about two hundred,” the returning assistant reported.

Yuan Jingxing skeptically remarked, “Two hundred people—can they attack our Immortal City Sect?”

Su Zhanze, however, suggested, “This is just what we’ve discovered; perhaps there are others we haven’t detected.”

Yuan Jingxing saw the point. It was possible for the Dragon Slaying Clan to attack Immortal City Sect; it was indeed the perfect time for an assault while Immortal City Sect was at its weakest. He said, “We should let Ren Xiongbei know, just so he’s not in the dark when the time comes.”

In the dead of night, Guo Yuqing saw Su Zhanze gathering a crowd in the courtyard and wondered what had happened. She asked, “What’s going on?”

Su Zhanze quickly responded, “Nothing, go back to sleep.” But he thought Yuan Jingxing was right; it was time to inform Ren Xiongbei, at least to give him a heads-up, even though he really didn’t like Ren Xiongbei. At this point, if he didn’t say something, it really would be unjustifiable.

Calling out, Su Zhanze said, “Yuan Jingxing, come with me to see Ren Xiongbei.”

Yuan Jingxing hurriedly followed Su Zhanze.

But by this time, it was already midnight, and Ren Xiongbei was sleeping soundly. Lately, he hadn’t been getting much good sleep, and it was only in the past couple of days that he had begun to sleep better.

Ren Xiongbei was not a patient man, but the idea that people from the Dragon Slaying Clan had arrived was something he was very reluctant to believe. He had assigned Fang Ziren the task of keeping watch on the Dragon Slaying Clan, and he had heard that only about two hundred people were around, confirming that Longhun should still be in Kunlun Mountain, so it was impossible for them to have arrived at the foot of Immortal City Mountain so quickly.

Ren Xiongbei let out a cold laugh, “Heh, do you really think the Dragon Slaying Clan is going to attack our Immortal City?”

Su Zhanze said, “It’s very possible, because after all, we’ve only just gotten rid of the Raging Wolf Clan. Many defense systems have been damaged and can’t be rebuilt immediately. They’re likely to take advantage of this and attack our Immortal City.”

Ren Xiongbei said, a bit irritably, “Then surely they’d have to wait for Longhun to return before they could attack the Immortal City Sect.”

Su Zhanze said, “That may not necessarily be the case, for example, if the Mitra Monk led the group, it’s possible too.”

“Pure speculation on your part. I can believe that some of them have arrived, but a large group in the woods? I don’t buy it.”

“At this time, we should better err on the side of caution than dismissal. If they are truly targeting the Immortal City Sect, we should be prepared.”

“Preparation is indeed necessary. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.” Ren Xiongbei was clearly exhausted.

“I think we should wake up the leaders now and discuss it.”

However, Ren Xiongbei said, “It’s not that urgent. Whatever it is can wait until it’s light out tomorrow. Don’t disturb me with every little scare.”

“Sect Leader, we must be vigilant.”

“Immortal City is not a pushover. Without Longhun, the Dragon Slaying Clan won’t be stirring up any storms. Don’t spook yourself. I know that during your time on Dragon Slayer Island, you encountered Longhun and got scared by this great demon,” Ren Xiongbei said, locking the door and shouting, “Don’t bother everyone else. We can talk about it tomorrow morning, people need to sleep. To rouse everyone now would be a bad judgment. We don’t even know if it’s just a small number or a large group that has come. This is ridiculously annoying.”

With that, he slammed the courtyard door shut.

Yuan Jingxing looked at Su Zhanze and asked, “What should we do?”

“Damned fool, he doesn’t act like a Sect Leader at all,” Su Zhanze exclaimed angrily.

Yuan Jingxing suggested, “Should we wake up the other leaders?”

Su Zhanze, perhaps swayed by Ren Xiongbei’s words that the Mitra Monk wasn’t as formidable as Longhun, continued walking back.

Yuan Jingxing then said, “Should I wake up my father-in-law?”

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhanze replied, “We still don’t know how many people there are. We’ll find out how many and discuss it tomorrow morning.” He also seemed unsure, thinking that the Mitra Monk was a level below Longhun and should be manageable. It was still unlikely that Longhun would arrive so soon, especially in the middle of the night.

Yuan Jingxing had no choice but to agree.

Ye Chen and Yun’er were now completely giving each other the cold shoulder, and Yun’er was not listening to any of Ye Chen’s explanations. Rong’er, on the other hand, almost seemed happy about the misunderstanding, leaving Ye Chen unsure about what to do next.

He would not meet Guo Mingyu and the others until tomorrow, and only then could they discuss what to do next.

It was dusk, and a small town appeared ahead. They would have to stay in the small town for the night.

After eating something, Guo Yuyun called out, “Xuan Si, let’s go have a drink.”

Xuan Si glanced at Ye Chen, and then Guo Yuyun stood up.

Ye Chen signaled to Xuan Si.

Suddenly, there were only two left at the table, Ye Chen and Rong’er, who hummed a tune and enjoyed the delicious food.

Ye Chen looked at Rong’er and said, “Fine, whatever you want to play, I’ll accompany you, as long as you’re happy.”

“Then let’s play mandarin ducks in the water.”

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh.

“I’m serious.”

“Go find someone else for that,” Ye Chen said dismissively.

“How could I just casually find someone else?” Rong’er laughed.

Ye Chen bowed his head and continued eating, his mind preoccupied with the meeting with Guo Mingyu tomorrow, wondering what they would decide, now that the meeting place had been set.

“Are you angry with Guo Yuyun?” Ye Chen curiously asked.

“Why should I be?”

“I don’t know, but it’s quite obvious that you’re somewhat upset with her.”

“You’re overthinking it.”
