Chapter 886 - 886 872 Am I Overthinking It

Chapter 886: Chapter 872: Am I Overthinking It? Chapter 886: Chapter 872: Am I Overthinking It? People inside Demon Palace City were getting restless, and Ren Xiongbei came over, probably understanding their thoughts. They were still discussing whether they should take a chance, as many didn’t want the Sea Demon to escape just like that. If they didn’t take this opportunity to eliminate the Sea Demon, no one would feel at ease.

To defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan, the Sea Demon must be eliminated. Without taking down the Sea Demon, there’s no chance of defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan. At this moment, with the situation stabilized and Longhun unable to find a way to breach the city for so many days, there’s always the possibility they could leave at any time.

Those from the Demon Palace who manage the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array had also been studying for several days.

Ren Xiongbei said impatiently, “I think what Song Zheng’an said is correct. If we don’t figure out a way to destroy the Sea Demon, there’s no chance of defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“That’s easy for you to say, but if we release the energy and fail to eliminate the Sea Demon, causing an error instead, who will take the responsibility?” Hu Nanyue said.

Ren Xiongbei had forgotten the incident in Immortal City and said, “Then tell me, until when should we prepare to counter-attack? Are we going to keep going like this forever, waiting for Longhun to run off with the Sea Demon before we pursue them? Now everyone knows, other than the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array, there’s no other way to eliminate the Sea Demon.”

Qiao Haoyu said, “They’ve been researching for so many days; what are those people doing not even knowing any guarantees?”

A subordinate said, “The main issue is that we don’t know the limits of the Sea Demon’s endurance.”

Ren Xiongbei said, “I think his endurance is just like this. If he really were that powerful, the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array wouldn’t be able to stop him.”

“I think it’s time we give it a try; we can’t keep going on like this,” Song Zheng’an said.

Ren Xiongbei added, “How long is this delay going to last? There’s always so much burden; when will it ever end?”

They all looked towards Guo Mingyu, waiting for him to agree with a decision. Guo Mingyu said, “Let them check for one more day, and we’ll decide the day after tomorrow.”

He was also struggling to hold back those people, but he could understand their anxiety. Indeed, after checking for so many days without confirmation, the hesitation really seemed indecisive. If the Dragon Slaying Clan left with the Sea Demon, they would completely lose this opportunity, and he might regret it.

Ren Xiongbei then said, “Don’t hesitate anymore; if we miss this chance, we can only regret it.”

In Guo Yuyun’s courtyard, she was still silently conducting her research.

He Xibai said, “I heard that Ren Xiongbei started arguing in the Temple, strongly urging your father to make a decision to release the energy of the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array to eliminate the Sea Demon.”

Guo Yuyun didn’t speak; she also had her hesitations, unsure if this was the right move.

He Xibai continued, “They’re worried that the Sea Demon will escape, and then there would be no chance.”

“Did my father agree?”

“He wants to give those people one more day, and he’ll make a decision the day after tomorrow.”

“Ren Xiongbei is such a Big Sweet Potato,” Guo Yuyun had heard quite a bit about Ren Xiongbei’s recent actions, how he had become more and more timid, only caring about himself, and not even going back to rescue her sister. Despite his many excuses, she firmly believed he was not up to par.

Although she disliked the man, she still put the greater good first, and it was quite the headache. She felt like they should give it a try; otherwise, it would indeed become excessively indecisive, which wasn’t a good thing.

“Any news from Immortal City?” Of course, she would always worry about Ye Chen, even though that monkey didn’t worry about her.

“Hey, don’t worry, Ye Chen is so skilled in martial arts, and he’s very smart. With Longhun staying here, how could he find an opponent to match him?”

“Haha, do you really think he’s invincible? The more you talk like this, the more worried I become.”

“What nonsense!”

Xuan Si walked in, knowing that this girl would definitely be in the courtyard, and said, “They’re almost fighting up there in the Temple, aren’t you going to take a look?”

“Do you want me to rush in there and argue with them as well?” Guo Yuyun asked.

Xuan Si started to peel an orange and said, “What do you think we should do?”

“I don’t have a clue.”

“Ah, I never thought it would turn out like this. By the way, how far have you got with your research on the Sea Demon?”

“To the point where it could go out of control, making the black-clothed man with the qipao temporarily unable to control it.”

“That’s the result of your several days of research? If it goes out of control, it’s the people in the city who will suffer.”

“Hehe, I’ve been working very hard,” she said.

“I just don’t know what Longhun is thinking.”

“Maybe he’s thinking of taking you as his wife.”

“All you do is talk nonsense.”

Guo Yuyun took a deep breath.

Xuan Si added, “If it does go out of control, I really don’t know what to do. But if we let this continue, it seems wrong. When will it end? We always need to find a way to eliminate the Sea Demon.”

“You’re not planning to run away, are you?”

“If it really goes out of control and I stay, it wouldn’t be of any use,” he said.

Guo Yuyun shook her head, playing with a teacup in her hands.

“It seems like you’re just worried about Ye Chen, afraid that when he comes back, he’ll bring along another beautiful girl,” Xuan Si teased.

Guo Yuyun smiled coldly.

“It’s quite possible with his luck in love,” Xuan Si laughed.

Crane City was as quiet as if nothing had occurred.

Fang Ziren brought Gu Xueyun to see him.

He knew Ye Chen had just come down from the mountains, first meeting Li Mo. Li Mo was preparing food and said, “Wait a bit, he is changing his clothes and will be down soon.”

“How is the situation up in the mountains?” Fang Ziren asked.

“There are over three hundred of the Dragon Slaying Clan’s people.”

“Only the Dragon Slaying Clan?” He, of course, wanted to know if any other demons had been released.

“Yes, just the Dragon Slaying Clan, nothing unusual has been discovered,” Li Mo said truthfully.

Upon hearing this from Li Mo, Fang Ziren breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good then. If that’s the case, we don’t need to fear them. We can certainly surround and trap them.”

“But Ye Chen is worried that some have gone undetected.”

“What do you mean? Haven’t you scouted the area?”

“Well, let’s just say it’s always better to be cautious,” Li Mo replied.

Fang Ziren nodded slightly.

As he changed clothes, Ye Chen pondered a problem: could it be a trap? What purpose would they have for setting up a trap—were they anticipating that he and Fang Ziren would come together? But on the mountain, he saw only defenses, no other anomalies.

Perhaps he was overthinking it. However, it wouldn’t hurt to remain cautious; if there really was a situation, they wouldn’t be as passive.

He stepped out of the door, and Fang Ziren greeted him from downstairs.

He responded with a chorus and walked down.

“Has everyone arrived?”

“Yes, most are here.”

“I heard you’re worried they might have opened more than just the Sealed Door that was holding the Tianye Demon.”

Ye Chen said, “Yes, I do have that concern.”

“But I just heard from Li Mo that there is nothing unusual; is there still something to worry about?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Come on, let’s eat something first, then talk.”

“Have you found a way to go up the mountain yet?”

They certainly couldn’t take the main path, which would definitely be watched by the Dragon Slaying Clan. Going up the mountain that way would surely lead to being discovered and possibly ambushed midway.

“Actually, there are three trails that lead up the mountain,” Ye Chen said.

“That’s great. As long as we have three trails, we can use the night to sneak up there undetected. They will have no idea which trail we’re on, and we can eliminate them by tomorrow.”

“No rush. Your people have just arrived, and these disciples also need a brief rest,” Ye Chen still wanted to consider it further since he had just come down from the mountain and needed to think,

“Hehe, no problem. We can rest after wiping them out.”

“After all, we need to prepare ourselves and discuss this. You haven’t even been informed about the situation on the mountain yet.”

“That’s true,” Fang Ziren said.

“Come, eat something first; we’ll discuss this later.”

“I’m just concerned whether they’ve opened any other Sealed Doors in the last few days, and I want to deal with them quickly to avoid any complications.”

Ye Chen hurriedly replied, “I understand, I get what you’re saying. I, too, want to resolve this issue quickly. Don’t worry, I left a few people on the mountain to keep watch. If anything happens, we’ll be the first to know, so don’t be anxious.”

“Alright,” Fang Ziren was still somewhat ambitious but lacked the opportunity. He continued, “So many things have happened recently. I never expected them to sneak ashore while the Raging Wolf Clan was attacking Immortal City. It’s my fault for not keeping an eye on them. That night, the heavy wind and rain made the fog too thick, and my people missed something important.”

He clearly felt remorse, but Ye Chen gently smiled and said, “Hey, no one wanted this to happen. None of us wish to see the Central Plains plunged into calamity, and we all hope to get through this crisis.”

Seeing that the other party was not blaming him, Fang Ziren added, “Ah, with what happened in Immortal City, I still bear some responsibility.”

“Instead of talking like that, let’s focus on handling the matter at hand and prevent it from worsening. That would indeed be a blessing for the people,” Ye Chen said earnestly.

“Yes, that’s right. Without eliminating Longhun, peace in the Immortal-Demon Realm will be hard to achieve,” Fang Ziren agreed.

The delicious food was served.

“Your unification of the Wastelands is a great achievement. I always knew you would succeed,” Fang Ziren said admiringly to Ye Chen.

“It was just luck. Those people trusted and helped me. Alone, the New City Sect wouldn’t have managed,” Ye Chen humbly replied.

Fang Ziren smiled and said, “You are meant for great things. I knew it from the start.”

“You flatter me,” Ye Chen said.

“No flattery at all. Senior Brother Guo sending you here instead of having me take responsibility alone shows he trusts you more,” Fang Ziren insisted.

Ye Chen chuckled, “Well, this isn’t just about the Immortal-Demon Realm; it actually concerns our Wastelands as well.”
