Chapter 894 - 894 880 Desperate Gambit

Chapter 894: Chapter 880: Desperate Gambit Chapter 894: Chapter 880: Desperate Gambit “That’s very dangerous. If they surround us, you will surely die, and it won’t be successful either,” Fang Ziren said.

Ye Chen shook his head, replying, “No, it will definitely succeed. Once you guys leave, they will think we’ve all departed, believing we escaped through the secret passage. They will never imagine someone stayed behind. That’s our opportunity. Once you create a distraction outside, drawing their attention, I can seize the moment to affix the Bagua Secret Talisman to Hell Tower.”

Fang Ziren said, “It’s too risky. If you’re discovered, that would be terrible.”

“It won’t happen. The sealing is a quick process. They won’t have returned before I’ve already escaped through other means.” Ye Chen said this with confidence, fully aware of the danger, but he had no choice. This was a must-do for him. If he failed, not placing a new seal on Hell Tower would remain an eternal threat to Immortal City and the New City Sect. He wouldn’t be able to face Guo Mingyu either.

Li Mo suggested, “Sect Leader, let me do this task.”

Ye Chen certainly wouldn’t go for that. He managed a slight smile, appearing somewhat relaxed, and said, “I’ll do it. You go. Lead the people away, follow Fang Ziren and the others, create a disturbance outside to lure them away. The bigger the scene you make after you leave, the greater my chance will be. After I’ve sealed it, there’ll be time to escape.” He was resolute, having observed the situation near Hell Tower. There weren’t many guards left, so the opportunity was still quite significant. He had calculated that with thirty people, including himself, they could definitely succeed—an outcome Elder Xi Feng would certainly never anticipate.

Li Mo proposed, “I’ll stay back as well.”

Ye Chen shook his head, conscious of the danger, and said, “Listen to me, come quick. I need thirty people. I know there’s danger, maybe a point of no return, but you have to make your own choices.”

Everyone slowly realized just how perilous the situation was.

Ye Chen continued, “If we don’t affix the Bagua Secret Talisman to Hell Tower, I don’t know what it might release next. If beings like Shangguan Heiqi are set free, you can imagine what Wasteland City will become.”

His words struck a chord in the hearts of the disciples with a sense of justice.

Most disciples from New City Sect chose to stay, but Ye Chen wouldn’t allow Li Mo to remain. If anything went wrong, he wanted someone from New City Sect to make it back.

Ye Chen did not trust this task to anyone else.

Fang Ziren offered, “Otherwise, let me do it.” He recognized Ye Chen’s talent and how crucial he was for Immortal City.

But Ye Chen assured, “Don’t worry. My martial arts are better than yours, and that makes for a greater chance of success. Trust me, there won’t be any problems. You guys go first, no lingering, we’ll talk after escaping. I’ll find a way to seal it.”

Fang Ziren couldn’t help but admire his determination and said, “Then take this Energy Box with you.”

“That’s the energy you’ve accumulated after much effort.”

“It’s trivial. I can accumulate more energy later, but you’re right. If we don’t seal Hell Tower, who knows how many demons will be released? If the Dragon Slaying Clan doesn’t wipe us out, these creatures surely will.”

“Exactly, so this mission must be completed, and I’ll be the one to do it. In a moment, we’ll move toward the abandoned area over there. Then we’ll release all the demonic beasts to block the outside and set off smoke. You guys escape first, hiding amidst the wasteland. Once you’ve escaped, they’ll realize what has happened.”

Ye Chen went on, “Once you guys are out, create as big a commotion as possible to attract them. That’ll be my chance. But make sure not to get surrounded again.”

Li Mo looked at Ye Chen, wondering how he’d explain to Yun’er if anything happened, but he understood why Ye Chen insisted on staying. Guo Mingyu entrusted such an important task to him; how could he pass it on to someone else? He’d take it upon himself.

“Hey, stop looking and start preparing to withdraw. These guys could come up here at any moment. Don’t worry, they’ll never guess, never expect this,” Ye Chen believed firmly.

Fang Ziren handed over the Energy Box to Ye Chen, saying, “I hope it helps you.”

“Right, after I’ve sealed it, I will surely have a good drink with you.”

“That’s no issue at all. Just be careful.”

Ye Chen nodded, saying, “Everyone, be careful.”

Ye Chen and his crew activated the Tortoise Shell Formation, continuously shifting toward the abandoned area.

Fortunately, the two entrances weren’t too far apart. At this time, Elder Xi Feng had no clue what they were planning. It was odd that these people were moving away from Hell Tower instead of toward it, leaving him baffled about their intentions.

Elder Xi Feng remained vigilant, ensuring that no one from Immortal City took the Energy Box to Hell Tower and perished together with them. Thus, he had placed quite a few men around Hell Tower.

Soon, two groups charged over. The energy in the box was still plentiful, more than enough for their use.

Gu Xueyun on the outer perimeter managed to tie down a group, allowing Ye Chen and his team to use the smoke to their advantage. Accompanied by dozens of men and using the map they had just obtained, they navigated the abandoned area, finding ways to hide along with those left behind. Since it was night, concealing thirty people was barely an issue.

They released the monsters to take position at the forefront. When Shangguan Heiqi attacked, he was repelled twice owing to the dense smoke irritating the throat, obscuring visibility. Unable to determine the direction, he had to wait for the smoke to clear before taking further action, hoping the others would suffocate on their own.

Ace Killer then suggested, “They seem to enjoy thick smoke so much, why not give them a few fireballs? Let’s serve them a mixed platter.”

Boom, boom, boom…

But one hour later, the thick smoke had disappeared, and all that remained was a pack of monsters; the people who were within the encirclement had vanished.

Elder Xi Feng’s assistant ran back, saying, “It seems those people have disappeared.”

“How is that possible?” Elder Xi Feng, followed by Shangguan Heiqi, rushed in only to find that they indeed had vanished.

Ace Killer was shocked and said, “Did they also turn into thick smoke? Have they ascended to immortality?”

Everyone’s eyes widened, and even Elder Xi Feng was stunned. He looked around and soon found an entrance in the deserted area, someone shouted, “There’s a secret tunnel entrance here!”

“Damn it!” cursed Ace Killer.

Just as he spoke, someone outside shouted, “They’ve come out over here!”

It didn’t take long before the people inside were alarmed.

Elder Xi Feng ordered his assistant to take a dozen men into the tunnel entrance and chase after them, shouting, “Don’t let them get away.”

Suddenly, the deadlock was broken, and they went to re-encircle the group.

By this time, everyone believed that the people from the Demon Domain had escaped through this secret tunnel, including Elder Xi Feng. Shangguan Heiqi, leading the way, charged forward to attack.

Fang Ziren and the others had fled, causing quite a commotion, quickly drawing the attention of the Dragon Slaying Clan and Shangguan Heiqi’s men.

Elder Xi Feng, of course, didn’t want them to get away at this point.

Ye Chen’s predictions had not been wrong; they had indeed been lured out, which was exactly what he wanted. Most of the people had been drawn away, but some still remained near Hell Tower, though there were far fewer than before.

Shangguan Heiqi, wielding the Sky-shattering Hammer, was in hot pursuit of the group from the Demon Domain, who continuously fled further ahead, towards the woods.

Now that they had escaped the encirclement, they were ready to use the cover of night to flee.

Elder Xi Feng, however, realized that it wasn’t the Sect Leader of the New City Sect who was covering their retreat which caught him by surprise. After half an hour had passed, he felt something was amiss. Glancing back, he said, “No good, how could I be so foolish? There will definitely be someone left in Immortal City.”

The assistant asked in confusion, “Leader, what do you mean?”

“Their purpose for coming here was to prevent us from continuing to open the Seal.” Elder Xi Feng stopped Shangguan Heiqi, who was ready to slaughter wildly, and said, “Brother Shangguan, we must hurry back. They have people at Hell Tower.”

Shangguan Heiqi turned his head, puzzled but stopped.

Sure enough, a battle had already commenced at Immortal City.

Elder Xi Feng couldn’t control the situation and couldn’t turn everyone back, so he could only recall as many as possible. Once Shangguan Heiqi turned around, Elder Xi Feng had already brought back a large group of men.

Ye Chen quickly capitalized on the distraction and launched an attack from a different direction, rushing out with about thirty men, facing Elder Xuan.

Ye Chen was not afraid of him—the threat from the big man was the greatest, and he had to seize the opportunity to seal Hell Tower. He could only succeed, not fail, and he believed it wouldn’t take long for those people to come back.

He only brought around thirty men with him, but he was well-prepared. Since there weren’t many guarding Hell Tower, Ye Chen immediately seized the moment. With the help of his disciples, he continually pushed forward and soon found an opportunity he wouldn’t miss. With a leap, two Green Dragons emerged, quickly overwhelming the few old men who were no match for him.

He tore through an opening and seized the moment to rush into Hell Tower. His disciples followed to assist, as others tried to break through but were held back. Ye Chen quickly took this chance to pull out a Bagua Secret Talisman. A surge of energy emanated, summoning the Secret Talisman like Mount Tai flying forward, pressing towards Hell Tower which instantly emitted thousands of rays of golden light. At that moment, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he heard shouting from behind—Elder Xi Feng and Shangguan Heiqi had returned.

Ye Chen couldn’t worry about them; accompanied by the remaining disciples, he immediately fled toward the rear of the city.

The path ahead was definitely blocked.

It wasn’t long before Elder Xi Feng arrived. Elder Xuan said, “He has sealed it with the Bagua Secret Talisman.”

“Damn it, who was it?”

“The Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”

Elder Xi Feng glanced at Shangguan Heiqi, who understood his meaning, and immediately led his men to chase after them through the back mountain.
