Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 846 - 846 832 Awakening

Chapter 846: Chapter 832: Awakening Chapter 846: Chapter 832: Awakening Yuan Jingxing understood Su Zhanze’s concerns and said, “Alright.”

Su Zezhan then said, “Have them prepare to retreat.” He did not have confidence in his ability to defend Immortal City, especially facing this prepared group, he had to make some preparations.

Yuan Jingxing looked over.

“Having them prepare a bit won’t be a mistake.”

Only then did Yuan Jingxing leave.

Outside, Mitra Monk was watching, and one of his subordinates said, “We should release the Sea Demon and take care of them today.”

Mitra Monk was very clear that Immortal City must be breached within two days; they could not wait until the morning after the next. The later it got, the less likely they were to break through the siege. He looked to Elder Xi Feng and asked with a smile, “Elder Xi Feng, what do you think the situation will be like if we release the Sea Demon?”

Elder Xi Feng thought for a moment and said, “It is very possible that they will directly abandon Immortal City to escape.”

Mitra Monk thought the same and said, “Right, I know that there is a secret passage in Immortal City, and they will definitely try to escape through it.”

The subordinate from behind said, “Then we can’t let them escape that easily.”

Mitra Monk nodded slightly and said, “Right, we can’t let them escape; if they all run away, then there’s no fun left.”

Another subordinate said, “But we don’t know where their exits are.”

Mitra Monk said to Elder Xi Feng, “Elder Xi Feng, I plan to release the Sea Demon tomorrow morning to break Immortal City. Afterwards, you go to the base of the mountain and see if you can capture some.”

“Capture some to do what, they should all be killed,” said one subordinate.

“Of course, killing them would be very satisfying, but who can guarantee that these people won’t be useful in the future? Perhaps they will be.”

Mitra Monk, after all, was a monk and not so cruel.

“If the Young Master were here, he would definitely have them all killed.”

“Ah, maybe they will be useful in the future.”

“Perhaps for having children, they could still be of some use,” said the subordinate from behind.

Mitra Monk said, “Elder Xi Feng, I’ll leave this matter to you. You’re in charge, see if you can capture some.”

Elder Xi Feng nodded slightly.

“Alright, take two hundred men to the foot of the mountain to prepare. I will release the Sea Demon tomorrow to break Immortal City.” At this moment, Mitra Monk had basically clarified the strength of the Immortal City Sect and was still confident of taking it down.

The subordinate from behind said, “At that time, we’ll also have to send people to watch, which is quite troublesome.”

Mitra Monk said, “You don’t know, these captured people might also be useful.”

After hearing that, the subordinate said, “Useful for what, to prove we are kind?”

Mitra Monk smiled slightly and said, “We’re at war now, breaking Immortal City is not a problem, but what about after that? It’s not certain that we will be able to take it down smoothly. Those people might prove useful for saving our lives when needed.”

“We have the Sea Demon; we shouldn’t be afraid of not defeating the Immortal City Sect.”

“One must always have an escape route,” Mitra Monk exclaimed. “Don’t let them rest easy, keep pressing, make them feel the heat.”

The greater pressure today, the faster Immortal City would fall tomorrow; Mitra Monk also wanted to give Elder Xi Feng some time to prepare.

The plan was essentially set in stone; it just remained to be seen how well it would be executed.

The horse car moved slowly eastward, and inside, Rong’er had not yet woken up.

Guo Yuyun sat next to Ye Chen, cracking sunflower seeds.

However, Ye Chen’s mind was preoccupied with worries about Immortal City. Guo Yuyun could somewhat tell; she was quickening the pace of the horse car. Yet, as they traveled eastward, Immortal City lay to the south, becoming increasingly distant.

“Thinking about my sister again?”

Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said, “You really have nothing better to think about.”

“No one would blame you for worrying about my sister.”

“Really, you’re not jealous?”

“What’s there for me to be jealous about? She’s already married.”

Ye Chen sighed deeply and muttered again, “I really don’t know how this girl can sleep so much.”

“Ah, this girl really… She should have told me she has a Resentful Spirit on her. But why didn’t she say anything? Doesn’t she realize how dangerous that is!”

“Aren’t you angry with her?” Ye Chen curiously asked.

What more could she be angry about? With a Resentful Spirit on her and having misunderstood her, she could only come to terms with it and said, “If I were to be angry, it should be with you.”

“Angry with me? That night, nothing happened between her and me.”

“You wish something did!”

“How dare I? My heart only has room for you, how dare I stray.”

“Your words are completely untrustworthy,” Guo Yuyun said as she took another grilled sesame seed cake from the bag and started nibbling at it.

“With the way you eat, I’m afraid even if I sold myself, I wouldn’t be able to support you.”

“I just hate it when you say things like that.”

Li Mo up front called out, “Hurry up with the travel, or we’ll be spending the night in the wilderness. I believe in this ice and snow, none of you would want to stay in the freezing cold. You’d all prefer a hotpot, right?”

Indeed, the mention was very enticing. Who wouldn’t want to taste hotpot? Everyone immediately perked up.

“Do you feel a bit regretful that Xuan Si isn’t here?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“There’s some regret, I admit, but it can’t be helped,” Ye Chen increased the horse car’s pace.

“Then why didn’t you stay back then?”

“I did think about it, sure, but it’s not just up to me. We had to part ways eventually, so it’s better to do it decisively.”

“Doesn’t that hurt terribly?”

“Not really. At least I have you, even if you eat too much.”

“You joker.” Guo Yuyun prepared to jump over.

“This isn’t a bridal bed, be careful or I’ll send you flying out,” Ye Chen was much more cautious.

A cough sounded from inside the horse car, and the two stopped their tussle. Guo Yuyun peered inside, and indeed, Rong’er had woken up. Guo Yuyun was overjoyed at that moment, yet tinged with self-reproach.

Seemingly thirsty, Rong’er asked, “Is there any water?”

Guo Yuyun quickly handed her the water bag and added, “There’s food, too.”

Wan Danrong seemed like she had escaped death’s grasp, barely waking up, feeling incredibly tired and worn out. Unsure of her current location, she remembered arguing with Guo Yuyun before becoming a resentful spirit, and that on Guo Yuyun’s neck, there were still scratch marks.

“It’s good that you woke up.”

Seeing Guo Yuyun suddenly being so close was something Wan Danrong could not immediately react to.

Guo Yuyun had also calmed down a lot and said, “I’m sorry, no matter what, I shouldn’t have left you behind.” The influence of the resentful spirit made her see her own faults.

After drinking half of the water bag, Wan Danrong heard the rattling of the carriage wheels and asked, “Where are we heading?” It seemed she did not want to talk about what happened. She pulled back the curtain to take a look outside; it was nearing dusk, with some rosy clouds appearing to the west.

Guo Yuyun sat opposite her and said, “We’re taking you to Divine Doctor Zhu. You should have told us that you were possessed by a resentful spirit.”

“To Divine Doctor Zhu?”

“Divine Doctor Zhu is very knowledgeable about resentful spirits,” Guo Yuyun explained. “He should have a way to help you remove the spirit from you. Don’t worry; we’ll definitely find a way to have him remove it.”

Ye Chen called out from outside, “We’ll reach the next small town soon. Have something to eat to fill your stomach for now. Dinner will be ready shortly; we’re having hotpot tonight.”

Wan Danrong felt quite worn out, probably tormented by that resentful spirit, feeling as though she had been taken apart and reassembled. She said, “How long have I been asleep?”

“You’ve been asleep for a whole day,” Guo Yuyun handed her a grilled sesame seed cake.

“Last night, did the resentful spirit take me over?” She couldn’t quite remember what happened next since she was almost entirely controlled by the spirit and thus had a fuzzy recollection of the events.

“Yes, that’s right. You don’t remember anything at all?”

Wan Danrong shook her head.

“You nearly strangled me to death.”

At those words, Wan Danrong vaguely remembered something and, looking at the fingernail marks on his neck, asked, “Was that my doing?”

“It was the resentful spirit,” Guo Yuyun said without any hint of blame.

“I’m sorry.”

“Hey, the one who should be saying sorry is me. I didn’t understand you back then. On Great Demon Mountain, I shouldn’t have abandoned you like that.” She understood how helpless one must feel, totally alone, having been dropped in the wilderness and harassed by a resentful spirit. “Fortunately, Ye Chen was there last night; otherwise, I really could have been killed by you. It was a narrow escape,” she said.

Wan Danrong glanced outside, where evidently, it was just some disciples of the New City Sect.

“You should have told us earlier. If last night it wasn’t for Ye Chen being there when the spirit acted up and took you away, you might never have been able to return.”

“What happened afterward?” asked Wan Danrong, curious.

“Xuan Wen and the others rushed over, managed to control you together, and pushed the resentful spirit back inside you.”

“Divine Doctor Zhu can remove resentful spirits.”

“He’s the most experienced with such matters. But don’t worry, we will find a way to get rid of the spirit for you,” Guo Yuyun said reassuringly.

Wan Danrong no longer harbored as many complaints.

“However, we need to remove the resentful spirit as quickly as possible. The longer it’s delayed, the harder it becomes to get rid of, and the more troublesome it will be later,” Wan Danrong said as she looked outside the horse car, seemingly deep in thought.
