Chapter 883 - 883 869 Shangguan Heiqi

Chapter 883: Chapter 869: Shangguan Heiqi Chapter 883: Chapter 869: Shangguan Heiqi After dinner, Guo Yuyun went to see her father and met Guo Mingyu in the Temple, who was somewhat surprised. Since having Ye Chen, she hadn’t come to see him much.

“Well, well, my daughter still knows to come see her daddy,” Guo Mingyu said, surprised.

“I came to see you on the first day of my return, didn’t I?” Guo Yuyun said.

“Ever since Ye Chen came along, you’ve forgotten about me and your mother.”

“No, how could I forget about daddy and mom.”

“Have you taken Ye Chen to see your mother yet?”

“No.”

“You should take him to see your mother, so she can rest easy.”

“He’s shy, he’s not yet mentally prepared,” she replied.

“Ye Chen gets shy? I find that hard to believe.”

“There’s so much going on right now, where’s the time?” Guo Yuyun said.

“Looking for your dad, is there something you need?”

“Indeed, I’m eager to know how much longer until the energy from the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array can guarantee the elimination of the Sea Demon,” Guo Yuyun seemed somewhat anxious.

“At least two more days. I heard you’ve already interfered with the Sea Demon today.”

“Yes, but it’s hard to control; I could only interfere with it.”

“That should be enough. When the time comes, just keep him distracted while we release the energy from the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array. Just make sure he doesn’t get away,” Guo Mingyu feared letting the Sea Demon escape. If they could really disrupt Old Du’s control over the Sea Demon, then that was one less thing to worry about.

“Then you all need to make sure you can eliminate the Sea Demon. If it loses control in the city and you can’t destroy it, the people in the city will suffer,” Guo Yuyun said sternly.

“True, you’re right.”

“You’ve been studying it for several days now. You should have a plan ready, in case the Sea Demon escapes. We can’t rely on the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to take him down from outside.”

“Indeed.”

“They will speed up the process.”

Just then, Ling Jian rushed in and said, “Master, Ren Xiongbei has arrived.”

Guo Yuyun, somewhat surprised, said, “Oh, he actually dares to come after leaving us such a mess.” She’d heard that Ren Xiongbei had a chance to rescue the group of people trapped following him, but they hadn’t gone back. This made Guo Yuyun lose any good impression of Ren Xiongbei, not to mention that her sister was among them.

Guo Mingyu stood up and said, “I shall go out to greet him.”

Guo Yuyun, shaking her head, said, “What timing. I’m heading back.”

Ren Xiongbei was certain that Longhun had not been able to break into Demon Palace City. Hearing that people from New City Sect were coming over, he figured that the Immortal Demon Realm might have come up with a way to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan. Thus, he decided to come up the mountain to help. If he didn’t show up now, he couldn’t justify it, but they didn’t know that the Tianye Demon had been released.

Guo Yuyun went back to her courtyard.

All was quiet. He Xibai brewed her a pot of hot tea and asked with concern, “Can’t bear to be apart for just one night?”

“Who says I can’t bear it? I certainly can,” Guo Yuyun said.

“I know you’re worried.”

“Come and talk with me.”

“Talk about what?”

“Anything, as long as it’s not silent,” she said.

“You see, when it’s quiet, you’re definitely thinking about him, aren’t you?”

A pigeon carried a message to Immortal City; Elder Xi Feng received the message.

Elder Xuan asked, “How are things?”

“Ye Chen has left Demon Palace City,” Elder Xi Feng said.

“Then everything is as the Young Master has arranged,” Elder Xuan said.

“How many people is he bringing?”

“He’s not bringing many, but he should be meeting up with Fang Ziren and then heading over here,” Elder Xi Feng said.

“Fang Ziren, that straw bag from Heavenly City Sect.”

“He’s quite a straw bag, but the Sect Leader of New City Sect is no Sweet Potato,” Elder Xi Feng replied.

“I’ve heard of him; he seems to have just united the Wastelands.”

“True, it’s under his leadership that the New City Sect turned defeat into victory, killed Yuan Menhai, and took back Sky Domain City,” said Elder Xi Feng.

Elder Xuan had heard quite a bit about this person. The Young Master was so adamant about killing him that they should take the issue seriously and follow his instructions: “Convince Shangguan Heiqi and Ace Killer to listen to the Young Master’s plan.”

“Hmm, we should make some arrangements. Fang Ziren’s men number around five to six hundred; I believe it won’t be less than that,” said Elder Xi Feng.

“Although we only have three hundred, if we get support from Shangguan Heiqi and Ace Killer, we won’t be outnumbered,” Elder Xuan said.

“Alright, tonight, we’ll negotiate with Shangguan Heiqi and the others.”

“They will unanimously agree without hesitation, who would want to continue staying inside the icy cold Hell Tower?” Elder Xuan made this judgment.

“When the time comes, the two of us will go meet him.”

“Mhm, I’m hungry, I’m going to get something to eat.”

“How is your progress?”

Elder Xuan was responsible for opening the Sealed Doors, and he had been leading a group of people, studying them for several months already. He said, “I also want to quickly open more Sealed Doors, but it’s not something I can rush.”

“Understood, I get it, but we still have to speed up the process.”

“You don’t need to tell me, I will find a way to do it as soon as possible.”

“Then let’s first persuade Shangguan Heiqi and his group.”

Hell Tower, a pitch-black place, Elder Xi Feng arrived with Elder Xuan in tow.

In the dark, mirror-like space ahead, where the black clouds were dense, appeared a huge figure with bull horns, carrying a copper hammer, eyes red like burning fire—a massive creature towering about three Zhang high. This was Shangguan Heiqi, followed by two skinny creatures that looked like Batman’s colleagues, probably because they hadn’t seen sunlight for years, so they were all pitch-black.

Following him were two people: one with a grim black face, expressionless, very serious, with an air of murderous intent that was indescribably deep; this person was Teng Yun’e.

The other one, who looked somewhat feminine, was holding a white-furred fox, clearly very concerned about his own beauty, occasionally glancing at a mirror.

Behind these three, emerging through the white mist, came a group of creatures with the build of tigers and bears, clawing and growling, seemingly unfed for a long stretch of time—like a pack of wolves. These were their subordinates, at least several hundred strong.

This was Elder Xi Feng’s first encounter with them, and he didn’t plan on saying too much. He stated, “Let me get straight to the point. I’m from the Dragon Slaying Clan, we’ve conquered Immortal City for a long time now, and it’s under our control, letting you out is a piece of cake.”

The bull-horned Shangguan Heiqi said, “What are the conditions then?”

“We have now unlocked two levels of the Hell Tower. One holds the Tianye Demon, but we’ve already let them out a couple of days ago. Today, we’ve come to discuss with you whether you want to continue staying inside or come out.”

For Shangguan Heiqi, he dreamed of getting out—there was no question about that. But he couldn’t let them underestimate him. After all, he was a leader. He said, “Let’s hear your conditions.”

“Straight to the point. We released the Tianye Demon, and they did something for us. If you want out, then of course, you have to do something for us, too.”

Ace Killer, petting the White Fox, said, “Since you’ve managed to break through Immortal City and open the Sealed Doors, what do you need our help with?”

“Actually, we do have a task. Our numbers are few, and we can’t quickly bolster our forces to face the forces of the Immortal and Demon realms.”

“You want us to help you eliminate the Immortal and Demon realms?” Teng Yun’e inquired.

“Not necessarily. You just need to help us with two tasks,” Elder Xi Feng said.

“Which are?”

“A group from the Immortal and Demon realms will soon come to Hell Tower to try to take it back and prevent us from opening more Sealed Doors. We need your help to repel them.”

“How many are there?” Shangguan Heiqi, with the copper hammer, asked.

“About six hundred or so.”

“And how many do you have?”

“Roughly three hundred.”

“Fine, what’s the second task?” Shangguan Heiqi inquired.

Elder Xi Feng unfolded a piece of paper with a person’s face drawn on it—it was Ye Chen. “Kill this young man?” he said.

Ace Killer glanced at it and remarked, “Who is this, even better-looking than me.”

“He’s the leader from Wastelands. He’s leading the Immortal and Demon realms here to recapture Hell Tower. If you help me kill this man, you’ll be doing us a huge favor.”

“Must be skilled in martial arts, right?”

“He is quite remarkable. If you’re not willing, then just wait for them to take back Hell Tower—it’s your only chance to get out.”

Ace Killer, incensed, shot back, “You’re looking down on us.”

“That’s not the intention. After all, right now, we are the only ones who can let you out. If people from the Immortal and Demon realms come and take back Hell Tower, don’t even dream of getting out.”

Shangguan Heiqi, their leader, had had enough of Hell Tower. He was willing to agree to any condition, which seemed not too difficult; killing a person should be easy. He declared, “Okay, we agree, let us out.”

“Each of you, take one pill.”

A white bottle, under a surge of his energy, passed into the mirror.

“What the hell is this?” Ace Killer asked.

“Poison that will leave you unable to live or die. Just help us with these two tasks, and we’ll give you the antidote.”

Upon hearing this, Teng Yun’e said, “What if you go back on your word and don’t give us the antidote? What then?”

Ace Killer agreed, “Right, if you don’t give us the antidote later and try to control us, what do we do?”

“Our leader is Longhun, the Young Master of the Dragon Slaying Clan, and he’s considered trustworthy.”

“You say he’s trustworthy, but we don’t even know what kind of bird he is,” Ace Killer retorted.

“Actually, you don’t have a choice. You can only trust us. I suppose you’re also tired of staying here. The Tianye Demon is quite tough, but he took the poison, too. I can assure you, as long as you help us with these two tasks, I will definitely give you the antidote.”

“Your word is just farting in the wind.”

“The choice is yours to make.”
