Chapter 875 - 875 861 Forcing Back the Dragon Slaying Clan

Chapter 875: Chapter 861: Forcing Back the Dragon Slaying Clan Again Chapter 875: Chapter 861: Forcing Back the Dragon Slaying Clan Again Ye Chen managed to hold off Longhun, and it was indeed a fair match.

That double-headed dragon was immensely destructive.

However, experience trumps youth, and the eight Elders weren’t just for show. Their skills and experience shone through. After the double-headed dragon went on a killing spree for a while, they found a way to trap it with the Bagua, like a big net, slowly wearing it down, dissipating its malevolence, and gradually taking control.

Then they summoned the energy of heaven and earth for a rapid contraction, channeling the flames towards its body. Soon enough, it couldn’t withstand the onslaught. With a roar, eight energy beams converged as one, like a sword piercing through it.

With a colossal boom, it was annihilated.

Guo Yuyun saw Ye Chen from a distance, freeing her father and then facing off with Longhun. Seeing that Longhun wasn’t gaining the upper hand, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the Sea Demon. Having read through Divine Doctor Zhu’s book over the past few days, she circled around to find out how they were controlling the Sea Demon.

Indeed, she saw a dark, mummy-like figure commanding a dozen or so people in purple robes, casting spells outside the city. Their energy surged toward the Sea Demon.

Guo Yuyun believed it was their doing that controlled the Sea Demon. If there was a way to cut them off, or perhaps sever their connection using another method, maybe the Sea Demon would stop obeying them.

After the eight Elders had disposed of the double-headed dragon, they rushed over. Longhun and Ye Chen had been fighting for over a dozen moves, but Ye Chen had countered each one. As an energy array in the shape of the Bagua hurtled towards him, Longhun hastily released several bolts of lightning to break it apart.

Ye Chen’s bolts of lightning struck towards Longhun, who failed to intercept them in time and was blasted away.

Mitra Monk rushed over, seeing the dire situation. He promptly advised, “Young Master, we should retreat.”

Longhun, though hesitant and suppressing his dissatisfaction, was quickly composed. He wouldn’t act rashly in anger and soon retreated.

Peace returned once again.

Guo Yuyun ran towards Guo Mingyu and asked, “Father, are you all right?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Guo Mingyu walked over to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen met with Guo Mingyu.

“It’s good that you’re here,” Guo Mingyu turned and said to Guo Yuyun, “You should go see your mother.”

After counting on her fingers, realizing it had been such a long time since she had returned to Demon Palace City, she quickly said, “I’ll go see her in a bit.”

Guo Mingyu went off in another direction and also said to Ye Chen, “Later, if there’s anything, we’ll discuss it at the Temple.”

As dusk set in, the Dragon Slaying Clan retreated. Some people were busy extinguishing fires and treating the injured. Guo Mingyu went to help.

Guo Yuyun asked, “Do you want to come see my mother?”

Ye Chen immediately remembered what Guo Yuqing had said and replied, “I better not. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away if I do.”

“You’ll have to meet her eventually.”

“But it’s not necessary to meet her right now.”

“My mother really wants to see you.”

“But I don’t want to see her.”

Guo Yuyun kicked him.

“Just go already. How long has it been since you saw your mother? Don’t you have a conscience?”

He Xibai heard Guo Yuyun had returned and came running from behind, nearly bursting into tears.

Guo Yuyun, accompanied by He Xibai, went to see her mother and asked, “Everything’s been alright recently?”

“You’ve seen it all yourself.”

“Mother, they’ve arranged it at the back.”

“Hmm, with the front in such shape, we can only arrange it at the back now.”

Guo Yuyun nodded slightly.

Ye Chen went to help in the ruined area and met Ling Bo.

Xuan Si, knowing Ye Chen had arrived, ran over and said, “You finally made it.”

Turning around, Ye Chen said, “You weren’t caught by someone, were you?”

“Where’s your monkey mom?”

“She said she’s gone to see her mother.”

“Not going to meet your mother-in-law?”

“I certainly am not.” Ye Chen asked, “So, have you been missing me a lot during this time?”

Xuan Si gave a cold smile and asked, “Where’s Rong’er?”

“Left with Divine Doctor Zhu.”

“There should be a way to remove the resentful spirits from his body, right?”

“That’s right. However, that Divine Doctor wants to marry his daughter off to me.”

Xuan Si looked somewhat incredulous and asked, “Surely she’s adopted?”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “You won’t believe it, but it’s true. He said if I don’t marry his daughter, he won’t treat Rong’er.”

“She must be quite unsightly, then?”

“Actually, she’s quite beautiful, very charming.”

“Then that’s certainly a pity.”

“A pity?”

Xuan Si chuckled, “Guo Yuyun would agree to that? Impossible, isn’t it a shame?”

“Well, you do understand some things indeed,” remarked Ye Chen.

“So he won’t treat the resentful spirits on Rong’er?”

“He’s not that bad actually; he’s quite righteous. But indeed, it’s a bit of a shame.” Ye Chen moved closer to the ruined area.

“Then, in this lifetime, there must be many things you regret.”

Ye Chen just smiled again.

“Leaving Rong’er behind, does Rong’er agree to that?”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “She has let go.”

“Let go? And wishes you well?”

“Something like that.”

“So when do you plan to get married?”

“Is now really the time to get married?” Ye Chen retorted.

“That’s true. It seems you really are fully prepared to be with Ling’er.”

“I wouldn’t say I’m fully prepared, but I think it’s not too bad.”

“That would mean a lifetime commitment.”

“Right. And you? How are things going with Xuan Hong? That kid, although he’s not too brainy, he’s not bad to you. That should be enough,” Ye Chen said.

“I’m not in such a hurry.”

They were busy until nightfall, putting out the fire and treating the wounded. By then, the sky had completely darkened.

All was quiet in Demon Palace City. Ye Chen sat by a fire, eating freshly roasted wild boar meat.

The wind howled.

Xuan Si sat beside Ye Chen. She had just returned from the pharmacy, tired after a full day’s work, not even having had time to drink water. Her throat was a bit hoarse, so when Ye Chen passed her a water flask and got it back, only half was left. She grabbed the roast meat and gnawed at it as if she wished to swallow even the bones.

“Take it easy. No one’s competing with you for the food,” Ye Chen said, observing that she had lost any semblance of a girl’s way of eating.

After devouring two pieces of meat, Xuan Si asked, “With you here, won’t Longhun try to escape?”

“I don’t know.”

“Doesn’t he worry about another group from the New City Sect coming over?”

“Maybe!” Ye Chen replied.

“Your arrival means they can’t find a way to breach the city and can only retreat. But we can’t just let them retreat. The leaders discussed the other day about using the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to wipe out the Sea Demon. If we really can eliminate the Sea Demon, we’ll be able to battle the Dragon Slaying Clan at any time.”

“Then, why didn’t they proceed with that plan?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

Xuan Si explained, “Guo Mingyu isn’t sure because the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array has only just been established and isn’t mature. He’s worried it might malfunction and not only fail to kill the Sea Demon, but also drag the entire realm of immortals and demons into peril.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Xuan Si continued, “But I think the leaders’ suggestion is correct. We could completely use the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to eliminate the Sea Demon. If we succeed, we wouldn’t have to worry about the Sea Demon’s threat and could join hands to easily crush the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“Nothing comes easily. When we were in Demon Valley, didn’t the people from the realm of immortals and demons surround the Dragon Slaying Clan too? In the end, they got caught off guard and almost got destroyed by the Raging Wolf Clan,” Ye Chen pointed out.

“So you think we shouldn’t try using the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to see if we can eliminate the Sea Demon?”

Ye Chen fell silent for a while, then said, “I wish none of this was happening. Just holding my wife and not thinking about anything else.”

“Well, now your wish is granted.”

Guo Yuyun came over with a basket, accompanied by He Xibai.

From a distance, Guo Yuyun called out, “Monkey, come to the courtyard and eat.”

Ye Chen said, “We can just eat here.”

Xuan Si nudged Ye Chen, saying, “Maybe that’s your mother-in-law, who prepared something delicious specially for you.”

Ye Chen just smiled.

“Hurry up then. We don’t get to enjoy such treatment.”

Guo Yuyun, becoming more generous, saw Xuan Si and said, “Xuan Si, come along too.”

“Oh, there’s something for me too?” Xuan Si turned and said, “If that’s the case, I won’t be shy.”

“Hehe, come on.”

In a courtyard behind, which was relatively intact and not too damaged, it was hard to imagine such a complete courtyard could be found there.

“Are we sleeping here tonight?” Ye Chen asked.

“Unless you want to sleep in the stable,” Guo Yuyun replied.

“It’s not like we’re going to consummate the marriage tonight. I haven’t agreed to that.”

“You wish,” He Xibai said. “You haven’t even met your mother-in-law yet, and you’re already thinking about the wedding night.”

“I heard that old lady… is quite formidable,” Ye Chen remarked.

Guo Yuyun glared and retorted, “Old lady? You meant to say old hag, didn’t you?”

“I never said that. You were the one who did,” Ye Chen responded.

After hearing this, He Xibai said, “If Yun’er’s mother heard that, she might reconsider letting her daughter marry you.”

Looking over, Ye Chen replied, “Really? Then I hope she hears it right now.”

There was a pavilion in the courtyard, and while there weren’t many lanterns since everyone was busy, it didn’t really matter.

“It’s just different, isn’t it? This courtyard is much nicer than where we stay,” Xuan Si sighed with admiration.

Ye Chen said, “Really? I don’t feel it. Seems pretty ordinary to me.”

“Ordinary? We are staying in a dormitory.”

“Dormitories are nice. With so many girls, it won’t be lonely or cold. If possible, I’d like to swap with you,” Ye Chen said.
