Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 931 - 931 917 Despair

Chapter 931: Chapter 917: Despair Chapter 931: Chapter 917: Despair The surroundings were pitch black, and there was no moonlight tonight. The little village was so quiet that only the croaking of frogs could be heard, which came in waves.

Rong’er followed behind Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “You know, I definitely can’t let you follow me; I won’t let you come with me and risk your life.”

“I know, I understand,” said Rong’er.

“Oh, don’t make it sound like we’re parting for life and death. I’m not necessarily going to listen to that girl. Do you really think I enjoy being born to fly? Last time was pure luck. If I fall next time and there are no trees around, I’d be dead for sure.”

Red Demonic Spirit laughed and said, “Not bad, knowing that if there are no trees, you’re a goner.”

“I’m not that irrational, unless there’s no other choice,” Ye Chen said.

“Anyway, I can’t persuade you, and even if Guo Yuyun were here, she’d have no way with you.”

“Honestly, you shouldn’t have come, but you broke your promise,” he said.

“What are you trying to say?”

“I’m saying that you should have done as you first said and gone back to the Wastelands.”

“Am I bothering you by being here?”

“You know that’s not what I mean.”

Wan Danrong smiled faintly and replied, “Alright, I know what you mean.”

“That’s good. Take care of yourself. I believe that as long as we handle the Tianye Demon, everything will get a lot better.”

“I’m not as optimistic as you are.”

“Right, probably scared everyone off.”

“Once you guys have dealt with the Dragon Slaying Clan, I won’t want to deal with your matters.”

“If we can really settle this matter, I won’t bother with anything else either.”

Wan Danrong said, “You plan to wander around with your she-monkey, how could that be possible? Would that she-monkey suffer with you while wandering?”

Ye Chen smiled.

“Maybe she’s already fallen for someone else. Who can be sure?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen said, “Well then, we can start when the time comes.”

“Who’s going to start with you? Following you would be so exhausting,” Wan Danrong joked.

“Yeah, I also find it too tiring to follow. I just want to find a place where no one knows me.”

“And then have a host of wives and concubines, right?”

“Where would I find such good fortune to have a host of wives and concubines?” Ye Chen chuckled coldly.

“That’s right, with the she-monkey around, you’d probably have to stick with her alone,” she teased.

Ye Chen went inside the courtyard to have a cup of tea first.

“Do you need me to prepare anything for you?”

“No need, we’ll meet again soon, so there’s no need to prepare anything else.”

“Today, I heard some disciples saying that Fang Ziren and his group were surrounded; the situation is dire.”

Ye Chen had heard about the situation, of course, but he was also powerless to help; he couldn’t fly over and said, “I’m increasingly realizing that human abilities are limited. Maybe I didn’t feel it before, but now I have this feeling more and more. I can only do my best in the most ordinary sense.”

“Exactly, humans are just that ordinary, not everything is within your control. You have already done a lot.”

“Have I?”

“Of course, if it wasn’t for you sealing the Hell Tower with the Bagua Secret Talisman, what the situation would be now is unimaginable.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Ye Chen said as he picked up his tea.

“You’ve done your best, and it’s already great that you’re still alive.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly.

It wasn’t long before Liu Yunzhi arrived with ten disciples.

Ye Chen quickly stood up.

Liu Yunzhi said, “They’re all the best in terms of martial skills.”

Ye Chen nodded and replied, “Sect Leader Liu must have already told you.”

The disciples nodded in agreement.

“That’s good. This journey is definitely dangerous. You all need to be mentally prepared for the possibility of a one-way trip.”

“Don’t worry, we are all mentally prepared,” they said almost in unison.

Liu Yunzhi left some food for Ye Chen, as well as the rope and gunpowder he’d requested, among other things.

Then he took out a map of the route and said, “I’ve asked around, these two routes are the best to travel. This is where the Tianye Demon is located; you can circle around from here.”

Ye Chen listened as Liu Yunzhi explained in detail and asked, “Is there someone familiar with the surrounding terrain?”

A disciple stepped forward and said, “I know a bit.”

“That’s good. If I have any doubts, I’ll look for you, and you’d better be able to explain them,” Ye Chen replied.

“I hope you have a smooth journey,” said Liu Yunzhi.

“Okay, you all need to be vigilant as well, don’t let them notice anything unusual.”

“Don’t worry, this is so important, I will be alert,” Liu Yunzhi said.

“That’s good,” Ye Chen glanced at the sky and said, “Alright, let’s not waste any more time, let’s go.”

At the village entrance, they encountered Yang Tao’er gnawing on some meat.

Ye Chen said, “I wanted to take you with us, so you could release a few more monsters to help us out when the time comes.”

“I don’t plan on flying around in the sky, you can handle the monsters yourself, I don’t need to release any,” Yang Tao’er continued gnawing on her roasted meat.

“Alright then, take care of yourself,” Ye Chen said.

“Don’t end up killing yourself.”

Ye Chen left with his ten subordinates.

Wan Danrong watched Ye Chen leave with reluctance.

Yang Tao’er said, “Girl, don’t be silly, let’s go. If you really can’t bear it, run up there and give him a farewell kiss, you can still make it.”

“You little devil,” Wan Danrong chased after her.

Tomorrow, the Dragon Slaying Clan will be able to besiege Fang Ziren and Xuan Wen.

Shi Xueqin still clearly remembered the events of that night; Longhun seemed to have become shy as well, and neither of them brought up that night, but what happened, happened.

Longhun had made preparations, with arrangements essentially in place.

Shi Xueqin paced back and forth in her room.

Longhun, carrying some food, knocked on Shi Xueqin’s door and asked, “Are you asleep, girl?”

With a creak, the door opened.

“I brought back a roast chicken, do you want to share it with me?” Longhun asked.

Shi Xueqin let Longhun in and poured him a cup of hot tea.

“So, we can eliminate Fang Ziren and the others tomorrow?”

“Yes, that’s right, you shouldn’t go in tomorrow,” Longhun said.

It was concern, Shi Xueqin nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will stay behind.”

“That night…”

Shi Xueqin looked over.

Longhun stopped, gave a faint smile, and said, “That night, I really drank too much.”

“Yes, that night you did drink too much.”

“I’m not a reliable person, and I might not be able to give you what you’re looking for. I could be abandoned in the wilderness at any moment,” Longhun said, not sure why he felt compelled to say these things; that wasn’t like him at all. He never dwelt on the past, never considered the future, only aimed to live each day to its fullest.

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself,” Shi Xueqin knew what Longhun was trying to say; she felt the same. Although she really liked Longhun and wanted to be with him, she wasn’t ready for it, and it had all happened too quickly for her to adjust.

“Really, look, am I a reliable person?”

“Not bad.”

“You must be joking; I’m not someone who can settle down to a peaceful life.”

“Once we take down the Immortal Demon Realm, don’t you also have to live a good life?”

“Heh, let’s eat,” he really didn’t know what to do with this girl, and he felt he was going mad. He harbored a strange feeling towards her; he had killed her father but felt pity for her, and then there was that night’s incident.

He never did things like that, nor was he ever lenient; he began to doubt whether he was still himself.

If one day this girl found out that it was he who had killed Shi Yin Zun, what then? He couldn’t bear to imagine; it would undoubtedly be a disaster. Just thinking about it was terrifying and headache-inducing.

Fang Ziren and his people were growing anxious.

He could only consult with Xuan Wen, but even Xuan Wen was out of ideas. Ever since Longhun guessed their intentions and they had been trapped for two days, it would be terrible if they couldn’t escape.

At that moment, they were told that Guan Yi and the others would come, but there was still no news, which was deeply disappointing.

Fang Ziren said, “Our people are on the verge of breaking down. If they don’t arrive, we can only hold out for another day.”

The assistant behind him also spoke anxiously, “We should not have listened to Ling Bo; otherwise, we wouldn’t be trapped here.”

But Xuan Wen knew it wasn’t Ling Bo’s fault and said, “Let’s just keep holding on.”

“How can we hold on? I think Guan Yi and the others definitely won’t be coming. Even holding out for another day is pointless,” the assistant said, now standing up.

They felt like they had been poisoned by the brilliant Longhun. They knew of Longhun’s fearsomeness, as if they had been sentenced to death.

Xuan Wu said, “Ling Bo just wanted to hold them back to give us a chance to escape.”

“With his brains, how could he possibly deceive Longhun? Longhun has already seen right through him,” the assistant said.

After listening, Xuan Wu said, “If you knew, then why didn’t you object at the time?”

But Xuan Wen knew that now was not the time for such discussions and said, “Sect Leader Fang, we still need to keep our composure.”

“We can’t keep it up any longer. With Longhun present, no one can deal with him, and it’s impossible to escape the encirclement. We only have a dead end,” the assistant said.

“You jumping around here like a monkey is useless. We still need to think of a solution,” Xuan Wu said.

“What solution? If there were any, we would have thought of it by now. I don’t think we can count on Guan Yi and his people to come anymore,” the assistant had already stood up.
