Chapter 863 - 863 849 Directly Approaching Demon Palace City

Chapter 863: Chapter 849: Directly Approaching Demon Palace City Chapter 863: Chapter 849: Directly Approaching Demon Palace City Longhun offered a faint smile, took the white bottle and handed it over to Elder Xi Feng.

Old Du said, “Apart from my antidote, it’s impossible to break the poison’s effect in a short period of time.”

Longhun said to Elder Xi Feng, “Xi Feng, go to Immortal City and wait for my message. Release them when I order you to. Just come to an agreement with them, and once they comply with our terms, they’ll get the antidote.”

Slaughter Saint understood Longhun’s intentions and said, “That’s a good strategy indeed. If we release them, as long as we make those leaders take the medicine, they’ll have to follow our orders in the short-term. For us, it effectively adds a group to our forces.”

Elder Xi Feng grasped Longhun’s intentions.

Longhun directed, “I don’t think the New City Sect will enter that quickly. You take charge in Immortal City and wait for my instructions. Whatever I say, do it.”

Mitra Monk advised, “Don’t open it so quickly. Once you do, it’s very likely that the people from the Demon Domain will learn of the situation in Immortal City and may send people to confront you there.”

Elder Xi Feng nodded.

“Try to let Elder Xuan unlock as many layers as possible. Wait for my message on how to proceed.”

Elder Xi Feng nodded slightly and said, “I will head to Immortal City right away.” With that, Elder Xi Feng took his leave.

Longhun felt Mitra Monk’s advice was indeed very sensible and realized the need for thorough preparedness.

Mitra Monk added, “Young Master, we are not afraid of them.”

Jing Po said, “There’s also a group of them in our hands, which gives us an extra layer of assurance.”

Longhun, with a touch of calmness, inquired, “Mitra Monk, tell me about this group of captives, who are they exactly?”

“Su Zhanze, the Vice Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect. He was the one who led the forces from the Demon Domain to attack Dragon Slayer Island last time. Later, Sea Soul defeated them, and Su Zhanze’s ship was destroyed, everyone thought he perished at sea. After that, Ren Xiongbei took his place as the Sect Leader. He stepped down to become the Vice Sect Leader.

Besides, there’s his wife, named Guo Yuqing. She’s not very conspicuous, but she’s the daughter of Guo Mingyu, which might be leveraged. There’s also the son-in-law of Jiang Ouyang, named Yuan Jingxing, all young people.”

Longhun wasn’t interested in these details and simply asked, “What kind of person is this Su Zhanze?”

“A young man with ambitions, but one who is prone to foolishness. His father is Su Hong. It was his mother, Feng Nianmei, who went through great pains to help him ascend to the position of Sect Leader. But he wanted to make it on his own, so he joined forces with Fang Ziren to attack Dragon Slayer Island, aiming to prove himself by annihilating us and earn the faith of the people of Immortal City. However, he miscalculated and lost the position of Sect Leader as well.”

“Was his mother Feng Nianmei also captured?”

“Yes, she is among those we’ve captured. Young Master, do you have some plans for them?”

“This guy, impulsive, isn’t he?”

“Indeed, quite impulsive. If I were him, with the Dragon Slayer Sword in hand, I wouldn’t have rushed to attack Dragon Slayer Island but would have spent more time studying the Dragon Slayer Sword. His botched attempt ended up costing him the position of Sect Leader. He doesn’t get along well with Ren Xiongbei, and it’s clear from these recent events. On the day of the escape, Ren Xiongbei already got away.

When Su Zhanze and his group were surrounded by Elder Xi Feng, they sent out a distress signal for Ren Xiongbei, but no one came to rescue them. He doesn’t accept Ren Xiongbei’s authority. He truly has ambition, and since returning to Immortal City, he went into seclusion to improve his martial arts significantly. But he’s just too young.”

“Does he love his wife very much?”

“He should. I’ve heard that there was something between his wife, Guo Yuqing, and your brother. His relationship with Ye Chen is not good; there seems to be a misunderstanding that Ye Chen and Guo Yuqing had an affair.”

“Oh, you know about this too.”

“Yes, consider me a gossip then.”

“He’s got a grudge with my brother.”

Mitra Monk replied, “I don’t know about that, but I do know that when your father declared Ye Chen as his son, the people of the Demon Domain misunderstood and wondered if he was trying to help the Dragon Slaying Clan. They shunned him quite vehemently, with Su Zhanze being the most agitated of them all. Whether it had to do with Guo Yuqing, I’m not sure – just hearsay from those below.”

“You’re really idle to be snooping around all these matters.”

“But one thing’s for certain, Su Zhanze may be young, but he’s extremely impulsive and not quite mature yet.”

Immaturity is good, an advantage. Longhun thought silently and found this person could be useful.

Mitra Monk ventured, “The people from the Demon Domain currently do not know whether we have captured or killed them.”

“Good, that’s the best scenario.”

Mitra Monk, unaware of Longhun’s plans, asked, “Young Master, do you have some intentions?”

“Bring them here quietly.”

“To this place?”

“Yes, to here. And don’t let anyone else know.”

“Alright, I will have my assistant quietly escort them over.”

For Longhun, he had to prepare for every contingency. He wanted to catch the Demon Domain completely off guard, ready to exploit any opportunity that might arise.

Mitra Monk said, “Taking them as hostages is actually a good idea; even if we lose, we still have a way out.”

Longhun smiled and said, “You don’t seem to have much confidence in us.”

Mitra Monk quickly explained, “No, I am always confident in Young Master; I believe in Young Master’s wisdom. It’s just to be on the safe side.”

“Understood, after all, you and my father lost once under the walls of Demon Palace City, and my father died there,” Longhun stood up, looking tired, and said, “Alright, it’s settled. Tomorrow morning, we go up the mountain and see if Demon Palace City is really prepared.”

Shi Xueqin walked in, and the others dispersed.

“Is everything discussed? I’m hungry.”

“If you’re hungry, go down and eat something.”

“I’d rather go with you.”

“You really plan to starve yourself to death,” Longhun said with a sneer.

“I’m afraid there’ll be no one to accompany you later.”

“Haha, you worry there won’t be anyone to accompany me.”

“Hey, come on, I’m actually quite hungry.”

“Troublesome, super troublesome.”

Today had been a day of non-stop travel, the horses foaming at the mouth. According to the timing, the Dragon Slaying Clan must have reached the foothills of Demon Palace City. Guo Yuyun didn’t show how anxious she was.

But the seriousness on her face showed she was very worried.

Li Mo pointed ahead and said, “Sect Leader, let’s rest in the town ahead.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

They quickly made their way into the small town, a modest one, and found an inn. Li Mo arranged for two people to check on the horses to see if they needed to be replaced, and if there were any issues, they could trade the horses in town to avoid delaying tomorrow’s journey.

The sky slowly darkened, and the lanterns outside the inn were lit.

Ye Chen led the disciples into the inn. As night fell, the temperature began to drop noticeably, the chill becoming quite evident.

Ye Chen said, “Alright, order whatever you want to eat, just don’t drink alcohol. Make sure to fill your stomachs.”

His subordinates nodded.

Ye Chen, Guo Yuyun, and Li Mo sat at one table, but Li Mo soon went down to get busy, as there was a need to prepare for tomorrow’s travel. Suddenly, it was just Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun left.

Guo Yuyun had not been enthusiastic all day, probably concerned about Demon Palace. If she estimated correctly, the Dragon Slaying Clan would attack Demon Palace tomorrow, and she didn’t know if the people of Demon Palace City would be able to withstand the attack; she was truly worried.

“Hey, your father had the guts to return to Demon Palace City; he must be prepared. Don’t be like a defeated hen with no spirit and a gloomy face; it’s easy to get wrinkles, you know!” Ye Chen poured a cup of strong tea for Guo Yuyun.

“You’re the defeated rooster,” Guo Yuyun retorted, drinking the tea. Soon enough, the food was served, and she sighed deeply.

“Look at you, even a young girl like you is learning to sigh like others,” Ye Chen teased.

Guo Yuyun didn’t know how Demon Palace City would deal with the Sea Demon. When she left, she was unaware that Demon Palace City had begun to construct a new defense system. However, Ye Chen’s words strangely awakened her; if her father didn’t have any confidence, he wouldn’t have stayed in Demon Palace City. Since he stayed, that must mean he was prepared.

“Roast chicken, eat up,” Ye Chen urged.

“What are you thinking?” Guo Yuyun took up her chopsticks.

“What do you mean, what am I thinking?”

“I mean, how do we deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ye Chen said coldly, “Do we still need to think about that? Obviously, we should find a way to deal with the Sea Demon first, then wait for our New City Sect’s people to arrive and join hands with the forces of the Immortal and Demon realms to fight the Dragon Slaying Clan together. That has to be your father’s plan, and there’s no doubt about it.”

“Longhun will definitely think the same; he must be planning to overpower the Demon Palace before the New City Sect’s reinforcements arrive, just like breaking the Immortal City Sect. But the Demon Palace isn’t so vulnerable, nor is it like the Immortal City Sect, which had been severely damaged in the battle with the Raging Wolf Clan, and the other disciples from the Immortal and Demon realms couldn’t arrive in time. Now, a large part of the disciples from the Immortal and Demon realms have arrived at the Demon Palace, and Ling Bo and Xuan Wen have also reached; so, it definitely won’t be so easily defeated.”

Guo Yuyun could only think in that way as well.

“Really, if you keep worrying, you’ll get wrinkles, and I don’t plan on marrying a woman with wrinkles.”

Guo Yuyun grabbed a roast chicken leg.

“Right, eat. If you’re not full, you won’t have the strength to fight the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
