Chapter 930 - 930 916 Desperate Measures

Chapter 930: Chapter 916: Desperate Measures Chapter 930: Chapter 916: Desperate Measures They had been fighting for half a day, unable to shake off Shangguan Heiqi.

After several failed attempts to rendezvous, from noon until now, dusk was approaching quickly. Guo Yuyun’s heart was filled with urgency; she knew just how dire the situation ahead was. If they didn’t make it soon, Fang Ziren and the others might never come out. For the first time, she felt utterly helpless.

Guan Yi ran over and said, “This won’t do; we can’t keep this up. If we go on like this, not only can we not rescue Fang Ziren and the rest, but it’s also likely that we’ll get trapped here ourselves. If we get surrounded, the odds are we’ll all die here.”

Song Zheng’an also saw what was happening and said, “Yes, Yun’er, I know you’re anxious, and we are too. We want to rescue Fang Ziren and the others as well, but we must ensure our own safety first.”

Guan Yi added, “The disciples have been fighting for a day and a night; they’re all exhausted. They’re tired and it’s getting dark.”

Guo Yuyun was silent for a moment before she finally said, “Alright, let’s pull back for now. We’ll wait until it’s dark to make a move. Let them rest first.”

Guan Yi quickly went to help the disciples break away from Elder Xi Feng and his group, then led them into the dense forest as night fell.

Shangguan Heiqi saw Elder Xi Feng and asked, “Xi Feng, do you have any more concerns?”

Elder Xi Feng shook his head.

“Rest assured, I said I would keep them at bay for two days, and I will. Last time, it was because we were unfamiliar with the terrain that they found a gap. This time, they won’t be so lucky. Let them come again, and I will wipe out this entire group first,” Shangguan Heiqi said.

Shangguan Heiqi looked at Elder Xi Feng, who understood the gravity of the situation. It was crucial for the success of killing Fang Ziren.

Shangguan Heiqi asked curiously, “I heard you used to follow Gua Zhengnie?”

“Yes, I used to follow Gua Zhengnie,” Elder Xi Feng replied.

“And later you followed Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“Mhm.”

“Mutant Winged Dragon saw something in you, which means you must have some abilities.”

“It’s merely respect.”

“You can’t say that. Longhun also holds you in high regard,” Shangguan Heiqi knew well that Longhun had Elder Xi Feng follow him because he couldn’t fully trust him, so that was the arrangement.

“Do you have the confidence to switch to someone else?”

Elder Xi Feng listened and responded with a faint smile, “I’m old. Why would I switch loyalties now? To wait for someone else to look after me?”

Shangguan Heiqi naturally knew Elder Xi Feng had some skills—he had been given an important role and had released the Tianye Demon, which was enough to show that this older man was formidable.

“Enough chit-chat. I don’t think they’ll give up. They’ll probably lie low for a while, then continue to come after us,” Elder Xi Feng was not interested in discussing other matters.

“Don’t worry, they won’t dare come again. If they do, I’ll find a way to surround them all. I just hope they are foolish enough to try,” Shangguan Heiqi was somewhat confident.

Elder Xi Feng wasn’t all that interested in this. What intrigued him more was helping Longhun eliminate Fang Ziren and the others, which was extremely critical at the moment.

“Last time was a miscalculation that allowed that young lady to succeed. This time, there will be no such mistake.”

Guo Yuyun was of course very anxious, but she also knew that no matter how anxious she was, she had to take things slow.

Guan Yi brought some food over. Guo Yuyun had already moved past her grief, although she knew she couldn’t possibly forget Ye Chen.

Looking at the map, she was somewhat at a loss about what to do.

Despite being outnumbered and outmatched, she knew she had to make another attempt; otherwise, she would never be content.

…

Ye Chen and his team were closing in on Brush Holder Mountain, where they stopped at a small village as night fell.

The people of the New City Sect had been trapped for several days.

During dinner, He Fei suggested, “We’ve arrived, but the people from the New City Sect don’t know it yet. If we could establish contact with Jiang Zhuge and coordinate with them from inside and out, rescuing them would be very easy.”

He Fei’s words resonated with Ye Chen’s own thoughts. Ye Chen also thought that Jiang Zhuge and his group didn’t know he had brought a large team with him, which would probably make cooperation difficult.

Therefore, whether they could work together with Jiang Zhuge’s group was the key. Ye Chen was aiming not only to rescue them but also to deal with the Tianye Demon.

The followers of the Tianye Demon didn’t know they had reached Brush Holder Mountain, which was an essential factor that could catch them off guard. There might only be one chance.

Wan Danrong expressed her concern, “Isn’t our most crucial task right now to rescue Jiang Zhuge and the others?”

Ye Chen replied, “No, the fact that the Tianye Demon’s people don’t know we’re here is extremely important to us. Even if we manage to rescue Jiang Zhuge and the others, we still need to find a way to deal with the Tianye Demon. I want to coordinate with Jiang Zhuge’s group to catch them off guard. After all, even after we rescue them, we will still have to face the Tianye Demon, so we might as well deal with them now while we have the chance.”

Liu Yunzhi looked over in shock. It was a daring plan, and he said, “If that’s the case, we’ll need cooperation from Jiang Zhuge’s group, but they don’t even know we’re here. We can’t contact them.”

Ye Chen said, “Here’s the plan: tonight, I will infiltrate Brush Holder Mountain. I’ll find a way to meet with Jiang Zhuge, and then we’ll be able to coordinate from the inside out.”

Liu Yunzhi certainly knew the danger involved and said, “I’m afraid it might be difficult.”

Ye Chen, however, said, “There will definitely be difficulties, but we must try. I can’t guarantee success, but maybe we’ll be able to make it happen.”

Liu Yunzhi looked over and saw the resolution in his eyes, then said, “Then I’ll find some skilled disciples to follow you.”

“Thank you so much for that.”

Ye Chen, looking at the map, said, “If I really do meet with them, I’ll likely try to bring them to this area to have a decisive battle.” He pointed to a spot on the map.

Liu Yunzhi observed the area that Ye Chen had indicated on the map.

Ye Chen continued, “At that time, they’ll come from this direction. After our battle, you can ambush them from behind, and we’ll surely defeat them.”

Liu Yunzhi hadn’t expected him to have thought this far; it was indeed a bold idea.

Ye Chen said, “He will certainly think that Jiang Zhuge and his team have reached a dead end and will carelessly come out to battle us. That’s when you can seize the opportunity. At the height of the battle, split into two groups and strike from behind; we’ll surely catch them off guard.”

He Fei exclaimed, “Indeed, this is a good strategy! If we can pull it off, we’ll really give the Tianye Demon a taste of their own medicine.”

Ye Chen thought to himself that the key was Heavenly City. He didn’t want to waste too much time here. If he had to rescue Jiang Zhuge and his team and also fight the Tianye Demon to determine the victor, it would be a waste of time. Even if they won in the end, if they lost at Heavenly City, all would be for nought.

Therefore, he wanted to take out the Tianye Demon in one fell swoop. Even if he couldn’t completely eliminate them, he needed to weaken them significantly, which would buy time for his rendezvous with Heavenly City and Lou Xuancheng’s forces.

Liu Yunzhi said, “If it really comes to this and we can defeat the Tianye Demon in one battle, then we won’t waste too much time here. We can hurry to Heavenly City to aid them. If we were to lose to the demons in Heavenly City, then whatever victory we achieve here would be meaningless. We can’t afford to spend our time here. Ye Chen’s plan is very thorough. Let’s go ahead with it.”

Then Yang Tao’er from behind added, “Don’t get too excited just yet. The plan is perfect, but first you need to locate Jiang Zhuge and make contact with them for this to work. Otherwise, it’s all just wishful thinking.”

Ye Chen stood up and smiled, “This girl is right. I can’t promise that it will be successful, but if it does work out, I’ll signal you. If it doesn’t and something happens to me, find a way to rescue them first.”

Liu Yunzhi nodded after listening and said, “Don’t worry.”

“Alright, that’s the plan. You all must be hungry by now. Go ahead and eat something, then rest up,” Ye Chen said as he walked out of the courtyard.

Wan Danrong and Yang Tao’er followed him closely.

“How do you plan to get there?” Wan Danrong asked curiously.

“I’m not sure right now. I can only head into the mountains and play it by ear.”

“I think I’ll go into the mountains with you,” Wan Danrong said.

“Hey, if I had the choice, I wouldn’t want to go either. You’ve already had a narrow escape with death. Haven’t the Resentful Spirits taught you a lesson?”

Wan Danrong had no words to reply.

“I’ll lend you a Winged Dragon to fly you in, how about that?” volunteered Yang Tao’er.

“Won’t the fall kill me?” Ye Chen looked up at the sky, aware that the route was basically blocked by the Sky Demon’s monsters.

“Not necessarily. At worst, you’ll wind up paralyzed.”

“I don’t fancy becoming a paraplegic.”

“They won’t notice you in the dark,” she reassured him.

“And if they do?”

“Then you’ll have to leave it to fate. Make your own call, whether to take the risk or not, but don’t blame me if it goes wrong.”

“Then you come into the mountains with me.”

“Do you think I want to entertain you? I’m not that bored. It’s cold and freezing, and I want to get a good night’s sleep,” Yang Tao’er said as she walked off towards a room.

That left Rong’er and Ye Chen alone.

Ye Chen looked at the radiant Wan Danrong and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ve survived falls from cliffs. It’ll be fine.”

“That’s because I was looking out for you; otherwise, you would have been shattered to pieces,” said the Red Demonic Spirit with a flicker.
