Chapter 950 - 950 I gave you a bargain

Chapter 950: I gave you a bargain. Chapter 950: I gave you a bargain. The news of Tianye Demon’s defeat spread rapidly.

Teng Yun’e brought the news to Shangguan Heiqi and Ace Killer.

Longhun originally didn’t want the news to spread so quickly, but Teng Yun’e got the information from those underlings of the Dragon Slaying Clan and came to find Shangguan Heiqi.

Teng Yun’e said, “Tianye Demon was defeated by the people of New City Sect.”

Ace Killer, somewhat incredulous, asked, “Ell, how did you come to know this news?”

Teng Yun’e explained, “The news had already been spreading among those from the Dragon Slaying Clan; it’s just that it came to our attention a bit late.”

Ace Killer expressed his surprise, “What exactly happened? Wasn’t Tianye Demon about to wipe out New City Sect altogether?”

“There was an unexpected turn of events. A group of disciples from the Immortal and Demon Domains quietly arrived. When Tianye Demon and the New City Sect were locked in their decisive battle, these disciples from the Immortal and Demon Domains stealthily launched a surprise attack from behind, encircling Tianye Demon’s forces. They suffered a great loss and paid a heavy price before they managed to escape the siege.”

“Does the Immortal and Demon Domains still have such capable people?”

Teng Yun’e said in explanation, “This capable person is someone we all know—it’s Ye Chen.”

Ace Killer was taken aback, “That guy was thrown off a cliff and poisoned with my deadly toxin; there’s no way he could still be alive.” He couldn’t believe any of this was real.

Teng Yun’e said, “Whatever happened, and why this kid didn’t die and even cured the poison, is no longer important. The fact is, Tianye Demon has truly been defeated.”

“Damn it, it’s impossible. How could that guy still be alive?” Ace Killer felt somewhat incredulous.

Shangguan Heiqi inquired, “What’s the situation now?”

“Tianye Demon managed to escape with some of his men. That kid who didn’t die is coming this way with a thousand people. I estimate it will take them about three days to get here.”

Upon hearing this, Ace Killer became more worried and said, “Big Brother, if they arrive in three days, and we don’t take Heavenly City within three days, we might be in danger.”

Teng Yun’e said, “Right now, Longhun is discussing with his men, but as to what their plans might be, I still don’t know.”

With over a thousand men potentially on their way, and the kid’s martial arts being so formidable, if they were to form an encirclement, it would be extremely unfavorable for them. Ace Killer said, “Longhun may not be afraid of death, but we can’t take such risks with this madman. If we can’t take over Heavenly City within three days, we could get surrounded. We can’t afford to take such a gamble. Longhun is a madman, but we are not.”

Teng Yun’e suggested, “We should listen to what Longhun is planning before we make any decisions.”

After hearing this, Shangguan Heiqi stood up and said, “I will go see Longhun right now and hear what he has to say.”

“We can’t possibly take such a risk with this madman,” said Ace Killer.

“I’ll go find out what Longhun is thinking,” said Shangguan Heiqi as he walked out.

Longhun was of course aware of Shangguan Heiqi’s sudden arrival and its purpose. Without withholding any details, he revealed his plans, and only then did Shangguan Heiqi learn that Longhun still had a card up his sleeve.

Longhun, ever polite, asked, “What do you think of the plan?”

“Hmm, it’s better than I expected. I knew you wouldn’t take action without being sure of success,” said Shangguan Heiqi.

Longhun chuckled lightly, “Honestly, I also didn’t expect such a turn of events. It was completely unforeseen.”

“It’s my fault for not handling things properly back then, for not having killed that kid. I didn’t expect him to survive after falling off the cliff.”

“True, my brother, who is devoid of sentiment, has always been extremely fortunate, repeatedly defying me,” Longhun said with a smile.

“I swear to the heavens, he indeed was poisoned at the time.”

“Let’s not dwell on that now. What’s most important for us is to figure out how to conquer Heavenly City,” Longhun said. For him, the most pressing issue was breaking through Heavenly City.

Shangguan Heiqi also did not want to waste time there, feeling somewhat embarrassed since he owed Longhun a favor—Longhun had cured the poison from his body, but he had failed in both his actions in Immortal City.

Longhun continued, “Although we have people trying to stall the New City Sect, we still don’t know if they can truly hold them. Moreover, Tianye Demon has yet to shake off Liu Yunzhi and his men.”

Shangguan Heiqi nodded slightly, “As long as we can stall them for a few days, the risk to us will be greatly reduced, and our chances for success will be much higher.”

Of course, Longhun shared the same thought, saying, “You know me well, Brother Shangguan.”

“If we can hold them off for a few extra days, we can make a thorough plan and strive to break through Heavenly City before they arrive.”

“Right, that’s why we need to work together and make sure there are no accidents,” Shangguan Heiqi agreed.

“If there’s anything you need, just let me know,” said Shangguan Heiqi, reassured by Longhun’s sincerity.

“Together, we will create a bright future,” Longhun said with a smile.

“Indeed, we will create a bright future,” replied Shangguan Heiqi, eager to deal with the people from the Immortal and Demon Domains, disliking them as well.

“Do you have any better suggestions?”

Shangguan Heiqi smiled and said, “I still have a lot of faith in you, your abilities are apparent to everyone. So let’s plan properly and see if we can take Heavenly City before they arrive.”

“Alright, I too hope to make it quick. I never thought it would take this much time.”

Shangguan Heiqi had certainly heard about all that had happened when Longhun entered the Central Plains.

“Well then, if there’s nothing else, rest early. Tomorrow, we’ll make haste to the foot of Heavenly City and delay no further.”

Shangguan Heiqi nodded repeatedly.

Longhun had managed to convince Shangguan Heiqi, but he also knew that the task was not yet complete, and there was still much to do. He needed to plan meticulously; he couldn’t believe that just because of Ye Chen, he would lose this battle. He would never allow it.

Finally, Ye Chen and his companions emerged from Brush Holder Mountain. It was dusk; a small town came into view. From the mountain, the town didn’t look large, but to the disciples of the New City Sect who had been trapped in Brush Holder Mountain for many days, it seemed as welcoming as a mother to her children. They all wondered whether they could indulge in a delicious firepot dinner tonight.

Jiang Zhuge went to confirm if the town was safe before they could enter.

Ye Chen, looking at Yang Tao’er who was daydreaming, asked, “How’s your research on that three-headed brother of yours coming along?”

Yang Tao’er gave him a scornful glance.

“Hurry up and figure it out. Let’s see if it will obey us when the time comes; it could be very useful.”

“I’d like to study you properly,” said Yang Tao’er. “I’ll stick a few needles in a couple of your acupoints and let you get a taste of that.”

“You’re quite polite to me. But I don’t need your research; why don’t you go study someone else.”

“How could anyone be as unique as you are?”

Kong Sha ran back and reported, “It’s confirmed, nothing unusual. We can go into the town now.”

“Then let’s go into the town. I really want to have a great firepot dinner, then a hot bath, and a good night’s sleep,” fantasized Ye Chen, glancing at Yang Tao’er. “Interested in joining me? It’s a rare opportunity—I’m giving you a treat.”

“This guy, how does a mother monkey even put up with him,” Yang Tao’er snorted.

Rong’er chuckled softly and said, “There’s no choice but to endure, especially when you’re in love.”

Ye Chen also laughed and called out, “Hurry up, tonight’s on me. Order whatever you want.” He swaggered inside like a newly rich tycoon, though in truth, he didn’t have much silver on him.

Rong’er pulled Yang Tao’er along and followed.

A spicy firepot for just the three of them was set up on the second floor while the other disciples sat downstairs, across the street, or in the neighboring inn.

The firepot sizzled and steamed, making everyone break out in sweat—it was an experience of fiery passion and a bustling atmosphere, as the disciples downstairs chattered away.

They were all in high spirits; even though they hadn’t defeated Longhun, they had escaped death. Plus, the Sect Leader was still alive, and most importantly, the situation in the Immortal Demon Domain hadn’t gotten too bad—they hadn’t been defeated. Hope was restored, and naturally, everyone was in great cheer.

Ye Chen added some delicious meat to Rong’er’s bowl and said, “Girl, you’ve gotten thin. Eat up and nourish yourself, get nice and chubby.”

“I don’t want to get as chubby as a mother monkey.”

“To be chubby is to be blessed.”

“But too much of it is not good.”

“Of course,” Ye Chen continued adding meat to the pot for the second round. The chatter from the disciples below still made for a great atmosphere.

The quiet town, with the arrival of the disciples from the New City Sect, became lively once again.

“Mother monkey probably knows you’re alive now,” Rong’er speculated.

“I don’t want to think about it. If she knows, she knows,” said Ye Chen.

“You’re just looking to make the most of this time to have a good time.”

“Do you think I’m having a good time? I’ve always been risking my life, with no time for fun.”

“Do you think Longhun and the rest will know we’ve made it here and quickly run away?”

Ye Chen was silent for a while, then said, “I don’t know, but Longhun wouldn’t do something if he wasn’t sure of it.”

“So you’re saying he might be able to take down Heavenly City?”

“Ah, I don’t want to guess about that, and it’s pointless for you to speculate. Like the saying goes, ‘When the soldiers come, block them; when the water comes, cover it with earth.'”
