Chapter 872 - 872 858 Trickery

Chapter 872: Chapter 858: Trickery Chapter 872: Chapter 858: Trickery Brother Longhun (Dragon Soul) quieted down, Shi Xueqin brought in some food, and Mitra Monk led those few people out.

Shi Xueqin said, “Brother Longhun, is it that we can’t break the Demon Palace now?”

“There’s nothing your Brother Longhun can’t break.”

“I know, as long as Brother Longhun calms down, he’ll definitely be able to think of a way to break through Demon Palace City.”

“Just you wait, when the time comes, your Brother Longhun will wreak havoc across the Xianmo World.”

“They deserve their retribution.”

“Do you really believe that?”

“Of course, they buried our Dragon Slaying Clan alive back then, they should suffer this retribution, it’s what they deserve—they even killed my father.”

“Right, but I’m starting to understand more and more.”

“Understand what?” Shi Xueqin put down the food and sat down opposite Brother Longhun (Dragon Soul).

“To understand that this world is just like the animal world. No one should blame anyone else. Sheep eat grass, lions eat sheep; you can’t expect lions to eat grass. If lions exist, it is the will of heaven, so you can’t blame them for being ferocious. They need to eat meat to survive, otherwise they will die. This is reality.”

“Is it really like that?”

“Of course, people can’t be kind. If you’re alive, you have to accept that this world is full of all sorts of demons, including unreasonables, like me. If I were reasonable, I wouldn’t have survived up to now. There was a time when I wanted to be a good person too, but I realized that others didn’t care. When I became a villain, I found that suddenly so many people were paying attention to me. The more ferocious you are, the more they respect you. The kinder you are, the more you are bullied, mocked, and betrayed.”

“I believe you’re right.”

“Really?”

“The people of the Xianmo World should be treated ruthlessly. Why should they have done this to us back then?”

“Yes, I don’t want to ask why anymore, it seems meaningless.”

“Hmm.” Shi Xueqin ate her food.

“You’ve been following me for so long, don’t you feel annoyed and tired?”

“Not at all.”

“Even I’m starting to feel a bit annoyed and tired.”

“Really?”

“It’s true.”

“So what does Brother Longhun plan to do with them tomorrow?”

“Whatever needs to be done to deal with them will be done.”

“But killing all day today didn’t yield a better method.”

“It was only half a day at best.”

Shi Xueqin became puzzled and said, “I heard that the people from the New City Sect have already entered the Central Plains. If we can’t find a way to deal with them, I’m afraid it will be troublesome.”

“That’s not something you should worry about.”

“Of course, I know I can’t worry about much. In the end, it will still be you who solves everything.”

“Then that’s fine. I told you before we came here that it would be extremely bloody. You didn’t believe me.”

“It doesn’t feel like it.”

“Do you still not think it’s very bloody? The Raging Wolf Clan came out and turned an entire group of people from the Xuan Clan into wolves.”

“They deserved it.”

“Really? I’m afraid you might slowly turn bad as well,” Brother Longhun said.

“Let’s not talk about that, hurry up and eat. We can discuss things slowly.”

“You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this.”

“Why not? Does Brother Longhun not think I should avenge my father?”

“Of course, revenge is necessary, and I will definitely give you a chance in the future. However, you shouldn’t be involved in all of this,” Brother Longhun said earnestly.

“Are you worried I can’t handle it?”

“A little. With your kind nature, you shouldn’t have to witness such a bad side of me.”

“I don’t think so.”

“You won’t say that in the future.”

Daybreak arrived, and Ye Chen roused them up. They didn’t have a proper breakfast as he had to set off early today. The fog in the valley was difficult to disperse; it would probably clear only after the sun rose.

Ye Chen firmly believed that today, Brother Longhun (Dragon Soul) might find a way to break through the Demon Palace City. He needed to get there as quickly as possible to prevent Brother Longhun from succeeding.

Guo Yuyun was somewhat reluctant to get up.

“Miss, please do this for the sake of your father. If something happens to him, it will be too late,” Ye Chen said.

Hearing this, Guo Yuyun slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Chen handed her some food.

“We should have a horse car,” Guo Yuyun said.

“It’d be best if we could fit a bed in the horse car,” Ye Chen said.

Li Mo was making the final preparations down below, ready to depart at any moment.

Ye Chen asked Guo Yuyun, “Do you know if there’s a secret passage in Demon Palace City that leads to the mountaintop?” It’s likely that we can’t use the main road to ascend anymore. The city gate will be controlled by the Dragon Slaying Clan. If there’s a secret passage, we could bypass them and sneak into Demon Palace City.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Are you awake yet? If not, I’ll tie you to the horse’s back; I can assure you of your safety, and you definitely won’t fall off,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun climbed onto the back of the horse, munching on a grilled sesame seed cake, and said, “It probably would be better to tie you to the horse’s back, so you don’t end up paralyzing yourself from a fall.”

“True, given how thick your flesh is, falling off would just give you an extra layer of protection. I indeed don’t have to worry about you becoming paralyzed.”

Li Mo prepared food and water for the journey.

The streets gradually became a bit more bustling.

In the morning, still chilled from the night’s cold, people and horses exhaled white mist, and the rhythmic calls of vendors selling meat buns began to fill the air.

Ye Chen glanced at the map and then handed it to Li Mo; the caravan soon slowly left the small town.

“Don’t take a wrong turn with those cockeyes of yours; if you delay our journey, you’ll hear from me,” Guo Yuyun snorted.

“I’m saying you’d better tie yourself to the horse’s back, lest you be flung off. I won’t waste time searching for you in the bushes,” Ye Chen said. As the road became narrower and more difficult to traverse, luckily they were on horses and could still pass through.

Passing by a lake, they saw fishermen casting their nets to catch fish. The villages at the foot of the mountain were still shrouded in a light fog, though some chimneys were already smoking.

Some farmers were leading water buffalo outside, gnawing on steaming sweet potatoes.

Waterfowl in the rice paddies called out as they searched for food.

It felt like returning to his childhood, reminiscing about familiar scenes, as if it were just yesterday.

The horses quickly crossed through the woods, moving away from the village and the lake behind them.

Brother Longhun (Dragon Soul) called over Old Du and asked, “How well is that double-headed dragon of yours trained?”

“About seventy percent.”

“Give it to me.”

Old Du took out the double-headed dragon that had transformed into a crystal form and handed it to Longhun, who said, “It might be a case of ‘borrowed but never returned.'”

Old Du chuckled upon hearing this and said, “As long as it can help the Young Master, it’s just a monster.” This double-headed dragon was one of Old Du’s three prized beasts.

Longhun gave a slight smile and said, “I need it to deal with those eight old geezers.” If he wanted to kill Guo Mingyu, he would first have to find a way to tie up those old geezers. Only by holding them off would he have the chance to kill Guo Mingyu.

Old Du added, “Just be careful not to let it bite you since it’s only seventy percent tamed.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t bite me.”

“I can’t spare the effort to help the Young Master. If I could, I’d definitely help you hold off those eight old geezers, then we could surely defeat them.”

“You should take care of the Sea Demon; don’t let anything happen to it. I don’t want to waste time dealing with the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array,” Longhun replied.

Old Du nodded in agreement.

“As before, I want you to find a way to hold them off,” Longhun contemplated breaking the impasse and tearing through their Demon Palace City himself.

He trusted himself more.

“Do you need our help?” Slaughter Saint inquired.

“If you come to help, they will too. You better tend to your own matters,” Longhun responded.

Within the Temple of the Demon Palace, Song Zheng’an suggested they should concoct a plan to eliminate the Sea Demon, saying, “If the Sea Demon can be eliminated, our threat level would greatly diminish.”

Guo Mingyu would have already taken care of the Sea Demon if it were truly feasible, but he knew it wasn’t easy, “To be frank with you, the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array is indeed holding steady, but the formation is not yet perfected. We have only been building it for a few months, and it’s only been tested for about ten days. I cannot guarantee that no accidents will occur.”

This made Song Zheng’an calm down, who then said, “True, should any mishap occur, we’ll have no clue how to confront the Sea Demon.”

Guan Yi then said, “It’s better to play it safe. The longer things drag on, the more advantageous it will be for us.”

Song Zheng’an finally spoke, “Yes, I’m getting overly anxious. I just thought, if we manage to deal with the Sea Demon, then we could have a decisive battle with them.”

Guo Mingyu smiled and said, “Honestly, I too wish to have a decisive battle with them, but we must not be careless now. Just yesterday, we were fighting for half a day, and it’s uncertain whether the Dragon Slaying Clan has anything left up their sleeve.”

“I was too hasty,” Song Zheng’an admitted.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Guo Mingyu responded.

“I’m just afraid they might run away,” Song Zheng’an continued, “If they can’t take Demon Palace City, will they flee with the Sea Demon? If they do escape, we’ll have missed this opportunity.”

Hu Nanyue from behind said, “That’s quite true. If the Sea Demon flees, we won’t be able to confront it with the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array at our side.”

“It won’t happen that quickly,” Guo Mingyu assured, “Let’s see how today goes.”

Guo Mingyu wanted to stay cautious; he was very clear that any mistake could lead to complete failure, but the situation was still greatly in their favor for now.

Boom, boom, boom…

Several fireballs flew over, shattering the tranquility of the mountainside.

Everything was like the day before, and the battle began, but Guo Mingyu was unaware that Longhun had already set his sights on him.

The Sea Demon charged in just like yesterday, more ferocious than ever.
