Chapter 878 - 878 864 Where Does the Danger Come From

Chapter 878: Chapter 864: Where Does the Danger Come From Chapter 878: Chapter 864: Where Does the Danger Come From The night fell.

Ye Chen did not engage in any fights today, so he returned, but everyone had a question in their hearts, what exactly does the Dragon Slaying Clan want to do?

They really don’t know that a large group of people from the New City Sect is heading this way. How could Longhun not know? He definitely knew long ago. If they knew, they should quickly find a way to take down Demon Palace City, instead of dragging out time. Dragging out time is to their advantage.

The reality now is that they really can’t think of a better way to breach the city. If that’s the case, the Dragon Slaying Clan should think of escaping, but they haven’t done so. This confuses people—what exactly are they doing?

Ye Chen thought about this question all the way, but he couldn’t come up with an answer.

This is definitely not Longhun’s style; Longhun wouldn’t do anything uncertain, and wouldn’t put himself in an embarrassing situation. That’s his doubt, so where exactly does the problem lie?

Could it be that someone really is coming from the sea, but after the last great battle, so many people from the Dragon Slaying Clan died? Even if they have great abilities, they are limited and can’t grow so quickly in such a short period. So how could one explain this?

The Red Demonic Spirit said, “You can’t figure it out, can you?”

“I can’t figure it out; you have to help me,” Ye Chen pleaded.

“I can’t figure it out either. I think you might as well stop thinking about it. You’ll soon know the answer.”

“I feel like Longhun wouldn’t do something he’s unsure of; he knows that a large group of people from our New City Sect is coming.”

After hearing this, the Red Demonic Spirit let out a cold laugh and said, “Maybe they really do have a plan, it’s just that you don’t know about it.”

“You also think they have more people, right?”

“They failed to take down Demon Palace City in a short time, but they haven’t left, which can only mean one thing: they definitely have another plan. They won’t just wait here for you all to surround them together. Didn’t they say Fang Ziren is also bringing people? Although Fang Ziren is nothing to speak of, the people he commands can’t be underestimated. At least there are more than five hundred of them, right?”

Tonight, they just found out that Fang Ziren was also bringing a group of people rushing to Demon Palace City. It would take two or three days before they could arrive, but if they did arrive, it would definitely be very disadvantageous for the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Ye Chen said, “You mean they definitely have a backup plan.”

“You’ve said that Longhun wouldn’t do something without certainty. They haven’t retreated, and there’s only this one explanation.”

“Could it be that they have really teamed up with the demon and evil factions? No, that’s not right. We’ve just handed over the demon and evil factions to the Qingxuan Sect. If there was any movement from the demon and evil factions, they would definitely know, and they would have sent us a message by carrier pigeon long ago.”

“Heh, don’t trust them so much. If they were really that trustworthy, would things have developed to this stage?” the Red Demonic Spirit said with a cold laugh.

“It seems we can only wait. When did I also become so helpless.”

“Everyone says you’ve been bewitched, but you don’t believe it.”

“Ah, why does it always feel so familiar yet so hard to choose.”

“Are you thinking about the last time you battled with your father here?”

Ye Chen didn’t speak, acknowledging silently.

“I think, you can’t be kind anymore. Your brother is much more ruthless than your father. Who knows, he might be planning some other treachery,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Right, I’m a bit of a sissy, not someone who can accomplish great things,” Ye Chen said coldly.

“But there’s no need to worry. The fact that Longhun didn’t attack today at least shows one thing: they’re out of options.”

“Maybe not, maybe after fighting for two days, they’re tired and want their men to rest for a while, to make a bigger preparation.”

“That makes sense too. But the spirits of the people from the Immortal Demon World are up, as they seem to see hope,” she said.

“What I fear the most is hearing such words. Once they relax, something is sure to go wrong.”

“We could think of a way to eliminate the Sea Demon,” she said.

Today, Ye Chen had also faced off against the Sea Demon, and the Sea Demon was indeed more powerful than expected. He was not so easy to deal with, despite having the Demonic Pearl. The Sea Demon had a thick protective layer, and other methods would need to be considered.

“You saw today that if we really could kill the Sea Demon, we would have already taken action,” Ye Chen sighed.

“But what the mother monkey said does have some merit. We could think of a way to break that black ghost’s control.”

“How do we break it?” Ye Chen asked.

“I’m just proposing. How would I know how to break it?”

“Aren’t you just talking nonsense?” Ye Chen retorted.

Turning a corner, he saw the courtyard. Two red lanterns hung at the entrance, as if someone was about to get married.

It was quiet again, really quite magical. Inside the courtyard, there was only the mother monkey, unbelievably, she was reading.

“You’re back? What did they say?” she asked.

There’s nothing different from yesterday.” Ye Chen poured a cup of tea, his stomach grumbled, and he asked, “Is the food ready?”

“He Xibai went to prepare the meal. It should be ready soon.”

Ye Chen grabbed a handful of peanuts and asked, “How’s your research going?”

“That black ghost has profound skills, with protections; it’s very difficult to break through,” she replied.

“Now you know your abilities aren’t worth mentioning.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely think of a way.”

Ye Chen threw cold water on it, “By the time you come up with a plan, everything will be over. Isn’t it too late to seek Buddha’s feet at the last moment?”

“Better than you making snide remarks here.” Guo Yuyun put down the book in her hand and sipped her tea as well.

Guo Yuyun continued, “It’s strange indeed, doesn’t Longhun know that your New City Sect and Fang Ziren are coming over!”

“They’d have to be ignorant not to know.”

“If they knew, shouldn’t they hurry up and leave, find no way to deal with us and stay, waiting for us to make dumplings out of them? That’s not right.” Guo Yuyun was somewhat puzzled.

Ye Chen didn’t speak, just kept peeling peanuts.

“It definitely isn’t like this; there must be something we don’t know about.”

“So, what do you think we don’t know?”

“You’d have to ask your brother.”

“I think you might as well stop reading that book. Do you really think you can become a master in just a few days?”

“Although I can’t guarantee that I’ll become a master, I definitely won’t just wait for death.”

“Let me tell you, don’t get yourself in trouble. I won’t be around to protect you. If the Sea Demon eats you, I won’t shed a tear.”

“When have you ever shed a tear? It’s always others shedding tears for you.”

“As long as you understand.”

“I don’t believe it. There must be a way to break their defenses.”

“There definitely is a way, whether you can think it up is the question.”

“Don’t underestimate me, I will certainly find a way.”

“Dare I underestimate you?” Ye Chen looked at the sky, “My eyelids have been twitching these past two days, I feel like something big is going to happen.”

Guo Yuyun looked over skeptically, “You still believe that?”

“My eyelid twitches are very accurate. Each time they twitched, something big happened. When I was little, whenever my eyelids twitched, my mom would hit me, and she was never wrong,” Ye Chen said.

“Looks like you should have your fortune told.”

“Don’t disbelieve me. What I’m telling you is true. Every time my eyelids twitch, something big happens. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s quite strange, and I don’t know what to say about it.”

“You’re getting more and more superstitious.”

“I hope I am being superstitious. I don’t want anything to happen, just wish for peace.” Ye Chen continued to peel peanuts.

Guo Yuyun became curious, “So, the last time Ling’er had trouble, did your eyelids twitch?”

“Actually, they did twitch, and it was just that night.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yuyun exclaimed, “Stop being so suspicious! Right now, things are extremely favorable for us. Stop talking nonsense and scaring everyone.”

“I really don’t want to scare anyone. I just feel that something’s not right,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun took a deep breath.

Ye Chen continued, “Just take care of yourself, don’t get into any trouble. People should know their own limits.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely think of a solution. I’m sure I can,” Guo Yuyun replied with a defiant look.

“Okay, just don’t end up scarred. I don’t want to marry a monster that looks like a ghost every night.”

Guo Yuyun snorted through her nose. She was somewhat unsettled. Right now, the most important thing was to come up with a plan to deal with the Sea Demon first; otherwise, there would be no chance to beat the Dragon Slaying Clan. Even if it would be possible to join forces with the New City Sect and defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan in the future, if the Sea Demon were still in the picture, it would come at a severe cost.

She hoped that heaven would grant her a couple more days to come up with a plan. She certainly could.

Before long, He Xibai and Xuan Si came in carrying food. Seeing a roasted chicken, Ye Chen got excited and said, “To be able to get roast chicken today is really a surprise.” He tossed aside the peanuts, his gaze already attracted to the chicken.

Xuan Si said, “Things seem to be getting chaotic.”

“What, you’re the one who’s confused?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“I don’t know what those people from the Dragon Clan are thinking.”

“It’s just you who’s confused right now; they aren’t yet.”

“Ah well, all this is just me worrying needlessly. I can’t help much.”

“Being able to get food is already quite something.”

A pigeon carrying a message arrived in Guo Mingyu’s hands. Reading the brief content, his face turned pale.
