Chapter 870 - 870 856 The Words of the Red Demonic Spirit

Chapter 870: Chapter 856: The Words of the Red Demonic Spirit Chapter 870: Chapter 856: The Words of the Red Demonic Spirit Ye Chen and his companions had traveled another day, and as darkness fell, Guo Yuyun was reluctant to stop. She had been worried all day because she knew the Dragon Clan might attack Demon Palace City today, and whether the people of Demon Palace City could withstand the assault, she did not know. Therefore, she was anxious.

Ye Chen ordered some food, but she had little appetite.

“Still hungover from last night, wondering who it was that changed your clothes, right?” Ye Chen asked.

Guo Yuyun shot him a death glare.

“Hey, it was the maid at the inn who changed you. You really did throw up; the smell of alcohol was strong,” said Ye Chen.

“Then why didn’t you help me change?” Guo Yuyun asked curiously.

“I was afraid you’d take advantage of the situation; I wouldn’t give you the chance,” Ye Chen explained.

“I think you just have a guilty mind but no guts.”

“Stop worrying, I believe they’ll be fine, they’ll definitely be able to hold,” Ye Chen said, serving her dish after dish. “Have something to eat first, and if you want to drink, I’ll join you in a bit.”

“No more drinking, my head still hurts,” she said.

“Knowing that it gives you a headache, why do you drink at all?” Ye Chen said.

The inn was quiet, but the weather was somewhat chilly, especially in the evenings when it felt most pronounced.

They were having dinner in their room, as it was warmer and more private than the bustling public area, and it also allowed the Red Demonic Spirit to come out.

Suddenly, Li Mo hurried into the room, startling Guo Yuyun, who feared that Demon Palace City had been breached. But Li Mo came bearing a smile and a letter, announcing, “They held them off, the Dragon Slaying Clan didn’t succeed.”

Guo Yuyun snatched the letter, reading the contents to be sure; it was a message sent by carrier pigeon from Ling Bo.

Upon confirming that it was indeed a letter from Ling Bo, Guo Yuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mo said, “Would you believe it, your father set up a Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array and stopped them in their tracks.”

Guo Yuyun remarked, “I’ve never heard my father mention the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array.”

The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled coldly, “At that time, you were busy drowning in drink and dreams. How could you possibly know about it?” He swayed on the bed, gnawing on a roast chicken.

Guo Yuyun flared her nostrils, glaring at the Red Demonic Spirit, who retorted, “Did I say something wrong? Weren’t you just like that at the time?”

“You’re such a gossip; even a roast chicken can’t shut you up.”

Knowing that Guo Yuyun had been anxious all day, Li Mo too was relieved and said, “Now that we can rest easy, we’ll be able to reach Demon Palace City tomorrow.”

Yet Ye Chen remained deeply contemplative, pondering that if he were the Third Demon, he would attempt to break Demon Palace City during Jiang Zhuge’s arrival. That much was certain, so the danger had not yet passed.

Guo Yuyun suggested, “Li Mo, come sit and eat with us.”

“I’ll go downstairs and eat with the others,” Li Mo insisted.

“Hey, you’re not disrupting us; even if we were up to bridal-chamber antics, the Red Demonic Spirit is still here,” she teased.

Only then did Li Mo crack a slight smile and take a seat.

Guo Yuyun said, “With all this good food, the three of us can’t finish it. Help us out by eating some.”

Li Mo muttered, “As long as they can hold the first day, confidence will return. Once the New City Sect reinforcements arrive, our situation will be greatly advantageous.”

The Red Demonic Spirit smiled faintly, “The Third Demon isn’t that foolish. Do you really think he’s an idiot? Waiting for you to surround and capture him? Do you really think he’d make such a foolish move?”

Li Mo found himself at a loss for words, but the Red Demonic Spirit had indeed given them a reminder.

“If you can think of it, how could the Third Demon not anticipate it? Do you really think he’d let you wrap him up like dumplings? I can think of it, so it’s impossible that the Third Demon hasn’t,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

“Then they would flee, back to Dragon Slayer Island,” Li Mo continued. “This time we can’t just let the Dragon Slaying Clan go unchecked after all they’ve done. They’ve killed so many people, breached Immortal City, and nearly led the Raging Wolf Clan to annihilate the Immortal Demon Domain. We can’t let them get away with it.”

The Red Demonic Spirit laughed, “It’s not yet time for you to surround them, they might already be plotting something else, something you’re unaware of. I have to say, I admire the Third Demon. He’s truly nefarious but also exceedingly clever. He dares to use himself as bait to open the Seal. He won’t make a move without certainty,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

“What certainty could he have now? The overall situation is already decided,” challenged Li Mo.

“Not so much,” the Red Demonic Spirit continued. “Today was just the first battle, merely a warm-up. It’s still hard to say what will happen next. He won’t just wait for you to join forces and surround them. Even I wouldn’t let anything like that happen.”

“Don’t boost others’ morale at your own expense,” Li Mo continued. “If the people of the Celestial and Demon realms were able to hold their ground today, I believe they must have made all necessary preparations.”

“Didn’t Longhun dare to attack the Demon Palace City because they were fully prepared?”

Li Mo looked at Red Demonic Spirit and said, “But they didn’t succeed today after all, they didn’t anticipate that the Demon Palace had prepared a Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array waiting for them.”

“I just want to tell you not to be too happy too soon; this matter isn’t so simple,” Red Demonic Spirit said. “Whatever you can think of, Longhun can think of too, and even more far-reaching.”

Ye Chen had been silent the whole time.

Guo Yuyun nudged Ye Chen and asked, “Monkey, what are you thinking about?”

Continuing to eat peanuts, Ye Chen replied, “What else can I think about.”

“Are you trying to figure out what others are thinking again?”

Red Demonic Spirit laughed and said, “With his brain, he can’t figure out what Longhun is thinking.”

Li Mo, a bit peeved, said, “Longhun isn’t a god; didn’t they fail to us at Kunlun Mountain?”

“Heh, that was just Monkey’s fluke; the Spiritual Stone helped him, not because he’s so wise. His brother by blood is a bit smarter.”

Li Mo said, “We’ll know everything once we get to the Demon Palace.”

“Probably they want to breach the Demon Palace before the forces from New City Sect arrive,” Red Demonic Spirit remarked.

“Tomorrow we can reach the Demon Palace City, and with Ye Chen’s help, I don’t believe we can’t defeat them.”

“This monkey can’t back out now, especially after following his mother monkey.”

Guo Yuyun glared at Red Demonic Spirit and complained, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that, with my presence, his martial arts progress is hampered?”

“I didn’t say that; you’re putting words in my mouth. I meant that his intelligence has declined a lot.”

Guo Yuyun retorted, “What does that have to do with me?”

“Of course, it does; intelligence will naturally decline when you’re around someone with low intelligence.”

“You’ve been skimping on your medicine lately; it’s time for a good prescription adjustment,” she snapped.

Li Mo chuckled slightly and then asked, “Do you think Longhun would collaborate with the beings from either the eccentric realms or the Third Demon?”

After giving it some thought, Guo Yuyun said, “Longhun thinks he is smart. He wouldn’t cooperate with them unless absolutely necessary.”

“That’s right, or they would have already teamed up.”

Li Mo continued, “What other methods could Longhun have to break into the Demon Palace City and deal with us?”

“Heh, if you could figure that out, you wouldn’t be just a runner; you would’ve been a big leader by now,” Red Demonic Spirit said.

“Right, my intelligence is only fit for being a runner.”

“That’s not so negative; counting as a leader isn’t too bad.”

Guo Yuyun said, “Thousand-year-old demon, could you please give us some positive energy? You always say things that are so disheartening.”

“I would like to say something positive; I just fear it would make you all too complacent and stop using your brains, thinking you’re so capable, and in turn, hurt yourselves,” Red Demonic Spirit responded.

Ye Chen thought that Longhun would probably find a way to break into the Demon Palace City before Jiang Zhuge could come to help, or else try to get the Third Demon or the eccentric realms to assist. However, the eccentric realms had already gotten wrapped up with the Qingxuan Sect’s people and probably couldn’t come over here. The Third Demon’s people couldn’t stop them; they just didn’t have the capability, and besides, Yun’er was right: Longhun thought himself clever and showed no desire to cooperate with the Third Demon. If there had been any real intention of collaborating with the Third Demon, it would have already happened at Kunlun Mountain, but it didn’t.

This made it highly likely that Longhun would try everything to break into the Demon Palace City before Jiang Zhuge could arrive to help.

They must hurry there tomorrow; otherwise, being too late would put them at a considerable disadvantage.

Guo Yuyun said, “You’re a thousand-year-old demon; can’t you help us analyze how Longhun would break the Demon Palace City?”

“Heh, I don’t care about that. Whether it breaks or not doesn’t concern me; I will live my life as usual. They won’t give me trouble as a thousand-year-old demon, but you guys are different – they might even send you to a brothel to accompany clients, especially since you hate the people from the Celestial and Demon realms so much, and you’re the daughter of a palace master.”

Guo Yuyun looked at Ye Chen, whose sudden silence left her somewhat at a loss. She had felt relieved, but the monkey was so unusually quiet, not saying a word, and she had no idea what he was thinking. She asked, “Monkey, could you please say something, don’t act like you’re just part of the air.”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “What else can I say? We’ll just hurry up and get there tomorrow.” It seemed that was all he could do; talking so much here was useless. Rushing there was what mattered most.
