Chapter 937 - 937 923 Scared to Death

Chapter 937: Chapter 923: Scared to Death Chapter 937: Chapter 923: Scared to Death Shangguan Heiqi and his men had entangled Guan Yi’s people.

However, they just received news that Fang Ziren and his group had escaped from the encirclement.

Ace Killer laughed coldly and said, “I thought they were so powerful. As it turns out, they’re nothing special. Weren’t they supposed to be surrounded for two days? They should have been dealt with by now. It seems they’re just all talk.”

They had heard how formidable Longhun was recently, how he had put the Demon Domain in a tough spot, leaving them at a loss. Today, it seemed he wasn’t as formidable as said, so, of course, Ace Killer had to gripe about it.

Teng Yun’e said, “It seems that some unexpected events occurred, allowing Fang Ziren and his group to escape from the encirclement.”

Because of their last mistake that let Lou Xuancheng and his group escape, they had always acted according to the expressions of the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan, and said, “This time, that bunch from the Dragon Slaying Clan won’t shift the blame onto us, will they?”

With a smile, Teng Yun’e said, “They dare not. It’s their incompetence, not ours. We’ve tied them down, given them the time. Letting Fang Ziren escape wasn’t our fault. If they blame us for this, there’s nothing left to discuss.”

Shangguan Heiqi and his group found Elder Xi Feng and asked, “Is it true that Fang Ziren and his group have escaped from the encirclement?”

Elder Xi Feng had just found out as well and said, “Yes, there has been an accident that allowed Fang Ziren and his group to escape.”

“This incident is certainly not our fault,” Ace Killer deliberately said so.

“Of course not, how could this incident be blamed on you?”

“Then should we continue to tie down that bunch?” Teng Yun’e asked.

“No need.” Continuing to tie them down was already meaningless, Elder Xi Feng said, “It seems we can only take the last step now, to fight a decisive battle with them in Heavenly City.”

The Dragon Slaying Clan had an even greater need for Shangguan Heiqi and his men. In a decisive battle in Heavenly City, the more people there were, the better, and they still didn’t know what preparations had been made on Heavenly City’s end.

Ace Killer said with a faint smile, “I really thought they could kill Fang Ziren. Turns out they’re nothing special after all.”

“It really was an accident, our Young Master nearly got killed,” said Elder Xi Feng.

“Your Young Master is so powerful and still got nearly killed?”

“There’s always a time for miscalculations, a betrayer emerged from within.”

Shangguan Heiqi also asked in concern, “So Longhun is alright now, right?”

“Mm, he’s got some minor injuries, but it’s nothing serious,” Elder Xi Feng said. “I believe you all want to settle the Demon Domain as soon as possible. It seems we need to work together to thoroughly defeat them at Heavenly City.”

Shangguan Heiqi smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we already agreed on this matter earlier, and we naturally won’t go back on our word.”

“Mm, I hope you can understand.”

“As long as Longhun is fine, that’s all that matters,” Shangguan Heiqi did not press any further.

Guo Yuyun and the others were still struggling, trying everything they could to break through. Suddenly, Shangguan Heiqi’s men gave up, which surprised her – she did not know what had happened.

Some even suspected that Fang Ziren’s people had been wiped out. Otherwise, why would they have given up? Letting them through – what did it mean? They immediately thought that they might all be dead.

Guo Yuyun hurriedly sent someone to find out exactly what was going on, but then she heard that Fang Ziren and his group had escaped from the encirclement, which she could hardly believe.

Song Zheng’an expressed his doubts, “Could it be a fake?”

Fang Ziren led only a few people, and Longhun was so powerful. Fang Ziren and his group were still surrounded, and it was clear that Longhun had guessed their intentions. How could they just escape like that?

The disciple who returned to report the news said, “It seems someone tried to kill Longhun, and Longhun almost died. When they surrounded Fang Ziren yesterday, Longhun was not there, which allowed Fang Ziren and his group to escape from the encirclement.”

Guo Yuyun asked, “Who tried to kill Longhun?”

“We don’t know yet.”

“Is Longhun dead?”

“He should be alive.”

Someone came with a pigeon carrying a message, and the content of the message was exactly about Fang Ziren and his group’s escape.

Guan Yi said, “It looks like everything is true.”

After hearing this, Song Zheng’an said, “That’s really great.”

“Who would try to kill Longhun, someone from the Demon Domain? Why haven’t we received any news?” Guo Yuyun wondered.

“Impossible, if someone from the Demon Domain wanted to kill Longhun, how could we possibly not know!” Guan Yi exclaimed in surprise.

“Right, if someone from the Demon Domain wanted to kill Longhun, we would definitely know about it.”

Song Zheng’an didn’t care about that, saying, “As long as they can escape from the encirclement, that’s good enough.”

Guo Yuyun was relieved and asked, “What about Ling Bo and the others?”

“We have no news of Ling Bo,” said Guan Yi.

Song Zheng’an said, “We should hurry and leave for Heavenly City, as this place is not safe to stay for long. We could encounter the Dragon Slaying Clan or Shangguan Heiqi’s men at any moment.”

Guan Yi agreed, responding, “Yes, we should leave quickly.”

Guo Yuyun nodded and said, “All right then, as long as they can escape.”

Guan Yi turned to the disciples following them and said, “Quickly find a way to contact Fang Ziren and the others.”

Guo Yuyun then asked, “How are Jiang Zhuge’s people doing?”

Guan Yi shook his head upon hearing this and replied, “There’s nothing we can do to help. It’s impossible to get to Brush Holder Mountain from here, and we can’t catch up with them either. They will have to rely on themselves now, and hopefully, they can extricate themselves from this predicament.”

Song Zheng’an added, “Yes, we would like to help, but we can’t. I think Longhun hasn’t wiped out Fang Ziren and the others yet, they will certainly come to Heavenly City for a final battle with us. They will join forces with Shangguan Heiqi, so we must hurry to the Heavenly City Sect as fast as we can.”

Guo Yuyun couldn’t find the words to speak for a long while, then asked, “By the way, is it true that Liu Yunzhi defeated the forces of the demons and spirits?”

Guan Yi replied, “It should be true, but it’s still unclear who helped them and how they managed to do it.”

Song Zheng’an expressed his astonishment, saying, “I never expected that Liu Yunzhi and his group could actually defeat the forces of the demons and spirits. It’s unbelievable.”

“It’s a piece of good news,” Guan Yi said. “We can focus entirely on dealing with Longhun and Shangguan Heiqi.”

Dawn broke.

Brush Holder Mountain was not small; they needed to hurry on their way while trying to avoid the Sky Demon’s men as much as possible, sticking to areas with more trees. However, most of the passes were already occupied by the Sky Demon’s men–they couldn’t get through.

They had to think of another way, otherwise, even if they wandered around for half the day, they would just be going in circles.

Ye Chen, looking at the map in his hands, asked Little Four who was beside him, “I haven’t taken the wrong path, have I?”

“No, this is the right place,” Little Four answered.

“That’s good. Don’t make any mistakes, we really can’t afford to delay.” Ye Chen certainly didn’t want to find them only to learn that Jiang Zhuge’s group had already been annihilated; finding them then would be useless.

They were sure that the Sky Demon’s men were on the mountain opposite them, and they needed to get to that mountain as well, then quietly cross past their men to get ahead of them.

And Jiang Zhuge’s group was ahead of those men.

There were almost no other ways to proceed, as the upper air was dangerous, controlled by the huge monsters released by the Sky Demon Sect.

After a half circuit, Ye Chen arrived at the top of a cliff overlooking a river below.

He was certain they were not very far from their goal now.

The mist in the mountains was thick. Ye Chen looked ahead; the passage below was guarded. It seemed the only way to get across was by using a rope. Before sliding across, however, someone on the opposite side needed to secure it. If both ends of the rope weren’t fastened securely, no one would be able to make the crossing, especially with the canyon being at least twenty yards wide.

Sitting on the ground and eating, Ye Chen said, “Wait here, hide for now. After I get across, I’ll signal you.” He touched the crystal White Eagle given by Yang Tao’er, hoping that girl hadn’t tricked him. If he fell to his death, he would haunt her as a ghost for eternity.

Fortunately, the forest ahead on the big mountain was dense. Speaking to the Red Demonic Spirit, Ye Chen said, “I shouldn’t die from the fall, should I?”

“Of course I won’t,” the Red Demonic Spirit replied. “But I don’t know if it will kill you.”

“Don’t joke about things like that. It’s not funny at all,” Ye Chen said, continuing to eat as he stared at the valley, vast and with the bottom nearly invisible.

Monsters flew in the sky.

Ye Chen had to take a chance.

“I bet you’re about to wet your pants,” teased the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Then you’ve been following me for nothing. When have I ever wet my pants?” Ye Chen retorted.

“You haven’t needed to worry because I’ve been protecting you,” the Red Demonic Spirit said. “Let’s see what happens when I don’t intervene. See if you can still smile then.”

“Maybe nothing will happen, and I’ll just cross over smoothly,” Ye Chen mused.

“I hope it’s as you say and you don’t fall off the cliff. There aren’t any trees down there, just rocks. You’d be smashed to death,” the Red Demonic Spirit added with a bit of intimidation.

“You’re really harsh. Killing me wouldn’t bring you any benefit.” The close call last time had indeed left Ye Chen somewhat shaken, and suddenly, he feared death a little more.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s conversation, Little Four offered, “Maybe I should go across instead.”

“You? Can you control the Big White Eagle?” Ye Chen asked.

Little Four shook his head.

“At least you have a conscience, wanting to take my place,” Ye Chen said. “But you really can’t do it without the protection of the Red Demonic Spirit. If you encounter the Sky Demon’s men, the situation would become quite difficult. My martial arts are somewhat better, so there’s a greater chance of success for me.”
