Chapter 877 - 877 863 The Elusive Longhun

Chapter 877: 863 Chapter: The Elusive Longhun Chapter 877: 863 Chapter: The Elusive Longhun Jing Po and Slaughter Saint left together.

“I just knew the Young Master would think of a way,” Jing Po said.

Slaughter Saint murmured, “Now, the question is how we will break into Demon Palace City.”

Jing Po confidently said, “As long as we can entangle with the people from the New City Sect, with that kid gone, we will think of a way to kill Guo Mingyu and break into Demon Palace City. If it weren’t for Ye Chen’s intervention today, the Young Master would have killed Guo Mingyu long ago!”

Slaughter Saint said, “The Young Master has really met his match this time.”

Jing Po looked over and said, “You’re referring to the Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”

“The Young Master doesn’t usually get angry, but this time, he truly did.”

“He will take care of it soon enough. As soon as the pigeon-delivered messages go out, we will see the results soon.”

“Let’s hope so. In fact, it’s quite good to let others help us get rid of Ye Chen. It couldn’t be better.”

“The way you speak, it’s as if our Young Master would be lenient.”

“Of course not.”

“You two should think about how we’re going to break into Demon Palace City,” their conversation was overheard by the pursuing Mitra Monk.

“As long as we can open two Sealed Doors from within Hell Tower and they can help entangle the New City Sect and kill Ye Chen, I believe breaking into Demon Palace City is just a matter of time. The Young Master is very clever and will think of a way very soon,” Jing Po assured.

Shi Xueqin brought in the food and said, “You rarely get angry.”

Longhun looked over and said, “Really? Do you actually think I am angry?”

“A little. You seldom acted like this before.”

Longhun coldly smiled and said, “No, this is just a minor issue. Just wait, and you’ll see how I deal with them. They won’t be happy for long.”

That confidence was very familiar to Shi Xueqin, who said, “I can understand. Everything was originally within your calculations. But the failure to obtain the ring on Kunlun Mountain, and the opportunity to kill Guo Mingyu today and yet it failed, I really do understand.”

Shi Xueqin, outside, heard their conversation. Hearing Longhun say he wanted to kill Ye Chen, she murmured to herself, “Are you really going to kill your own biological brother?”

“Why not?”

“But he is your only family.”

“Then what?”

“Do we need a ‘then what’?”

“Do you think I am someone who lets sentiment cloud my judgment?”

“Not really, I also know that you hate him for helping people from the Immortal Demon Realm kill Master Dragon.”

“No, I don’t hate him. After all, if you don’t kill me, I’ll kill you. No hard feelings either way.”

“But he is still your brother, after all.”

“Is he?” Longhun picked up a wine sack and took a big gulp.

“I know I can’t stop you once you’ve made up your mind.”

“Then say no more,” Longhun said.

Shi Xueqin left quickly.

Longhun drank another sip of wine. It seemed that in this period, he had somewhat softened and was not as ruthless as before. He hadn’t anticipated that the matters that should have been dealt with quickly would drag on until now. It seemed necessary to give his subordinates a break and come up with a long-term plan. As long as those from the New City Sect didn’t come over, he didn’t believe he couldn’t settle things with those sweet potatoes in less than a half-month.

Guo Mingyu called everyone together for a discussion. It was still felt that it was better to wait for the people from the New City Sect to arrive before making any rash moves. Ye Chen couldn’t say much about it either; he had to agree that it might be safer to be more cautious.

Ye Chen returned to his courtyard, but whether the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan outside the city would retreat was still hard to say. What they said was not without reason; if it were possible to use the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to eliminate the Sea Demon, it indeed would be a good thing, but no one could guarantee success.

Guo Yuyun was in the courtyard. The others were nowhere to be seen, which made Ye Chen feel somewhat unused to it.

Yun’er seemed to be reading a book. As Ye Chen walked in, she heaved a sigh.

Surprised, Guo Yuyun put down her book and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“How should I know? I don’t even know what’s wrong,” he poured himself a cup of tea.

“That’s not like you.”

“Some people are worried the Dragon Slaying Clan will leave.”

“If they leave, how are we going to deal with the Sea Demon?”

“Exactly, it is indeed a problem.”

“So what are your thoughts?”

“What else to think? We’ll just have to play it by ear.”

“That really doesn’t sound like you. Are you also worried that the Sea Demon might escape?”

“Let’s see what happens tomorrow.”

“Do you think the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan will leave tomorrow?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“It’s possible. If they can’t think of a way to break the city, they might leave.”

“Do you think Longhun would give up so easily?”

“Perhaps it’s beyond their control,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun pouted her lips.

“You’re still looking at that book the Crazy Divine Doctor gave you. If it really only takes a few days to learn, the Crazy Divine Doctor would have been an expert long ago.”

However, Guo Yuyun said, “You can’t compare me to him.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “That’s true. After all, you’ve studied those abnormal monsters, so you do have more talent in this area than I do.”

Guo Yuyun said, “You want me to master controlling the Sea Demon within a few days. I really don’t have such impatience, but to disturb or affect them, I think it’s possible.”

“Affect, you can affect the Sea Demon?” Ye Chen was very surprised.

“I’ve looked today, and the Sea Demon is controlled by a qipao-wearing person outside the city, who looks like a zombie, along with about a dozen subordinates. It must be them working together to control the Sea Demon.”

“Heh, what do you plan to do?”

“Disturb them,” she replied.

“Just don’t end up making the Sea Demon go crazy in the city, and then not know how to deal with it.”

“There is that risk, but it’s worth trying to see if I can disturb them.”

“You half-learned person, are you really planning to do this? That’s not an ordinary monster; it eats people.”

“We must do something, rather than just watch and do nothing.”

Ye Chen gave a slight smile.

“Do you really think I should do nothing?”

“Of course not, I just fear it might end up eating you too.”

“You should have some faith in me.”

Ye Chen drank another cup of tea and said, “I would really like to have faith in you, but you’re just a half-learner.”

Ye Chen didn’t know what Longhun was thinking. If he were to leave tomorrow, it would mean he probably ran out of options, especially with Jiang Zhuge and others getting closer; he also knew that Fang Ziren and another group were approaching from this side.

When people from both sides arrive, the situation will be very different.

Guo Yuyun said, “However, logically speaking, Longhun would never do something so uncertain.”

“It’s rare for you to think that way.” Ye Chen also found a chair and lay down.

“He will run away, right?”

“I don’t know, but he definitely won’t wait for us to surround them.”

“If it weren’t for your timely appearance today, my father would have been in mortal danger.”

“We could never let your father be in mortal danger.”

“Aren’t you worried that they still have a way out? At most, they could send people over from the sea. I don’t think the Dragon Slaying Clan has that many people, right? They couldn’t possibly send so many people over at once.”

“I don’t know, your wild guesses are of no use.”

“We’ll see what happens tomorrow,” Guo Yuyun said, shaking her head.

Ye Chen quieted down as well, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.

“Anyway, I can’t think of any better ideas for them,” Guo Yuyun said.

“Your silly brain, even if you think yourself mad, won’t be able to figure it out.”

Guo Yuyun decided to study the Sea Demon properly the next day. She knew it wouldn’t be possible to understand it quickly, but she still decided to study it seriously. Contrary to their expectations, the Dragon Slaying Clan’s people didn’t leave and continued to attack the Demon Palace, albeit noticeably weaker than the day before.

Xuan Si saw Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun and was surprised that they were up so early. He said, “Do the Dragon Slaying Clan really think they can take down Demon Palace City?”

Ye Chen glanced and said, “It’s not good, they don’t seem to be in a hurry.”

Guo Yuyun felt the same way.

Xuan Si asked, “What do you mean?”

Guo Yuyun elaborated, “What the monkey means is that the Dragon Slaying Clan must know that people from New City Sect are rushing over here. They should be eager and should be quickening their capture of Demon Palace City.”

After some thought, Xuan Si found some sense in this and said, “Could it be that they have another plan? Not afraid of the people you have coming out from New City Sect merging with us and then surrounding them?”

“If they were afraid, they should be very eager, pushing everything forward; otherwise, they should be trying to leave instead of wasting time in such a lukewarm manner.”

Xuan Si was also somewhat puzzled and said, “If that’s the case, are they allied with the people from the Demon Domain, or with the Third Demon? There doesn’t seem to be any news in this regard, and I guess the people from the Demon Domain wouldn’t easily get involved.”

Ye Chen didn’t speak and just stared ahead, lost in thought. Since Longhun didn’t show up, Guo Yuyun decided to properly test the Sea Demon, taking along the disciples prepared from yesterday, ready to contest power with that group of corpse-like individuals.

To attempt reverse control over the Sea Demon.

Guo Yuyun’s spiritual cultivation was weak, and she would definitely be facing experts. She wasn’t planning to engage in a do-or-die battle with Old Du today; she wanted to get a good measure of the situation.

After a bout of spells and confrontation, it was clear that the opponents were prepared, having set up a protective barrier that was not easy to breach.

She thought of several ways to break through but none were successful.

It would be a joke if the connections Old Du had spent months establishing could be breached so quickly. Such an event wouldn’t happen so easily.

The day ended abruptly like that, with Longhun not appearing and the Dragon Slaying Clan not retreating.
