Chapter 958 - 958 944 Where Does Danger Come From

Chapter 958: Chapter 944: Where Does Danger Come From? Chapter 958: Chapter 944: Where Does Danger Come From? Having heard Ren Xiongbei’s words, Li Mo said, “Do you think they don’t want to rush over? If they could, our Sect Leader would surely bring them here. There must be a compelling reason they cannot.”

Ren Xiongbei said no more.

Fang Ziren heard this and said, “If that’s the case, and they can’t make it here, haven’t we missed the opportunity to encircle them? This could have been a rare chance.”

Ling Bo replied, “It’s hard to say. If Jiang Zhuge and the others manage to arrive, then the Dragon Slaying Clan and Po Ren’s people might do so as well. By then, it would still be difficult for us to surround them.”

Lou Xuancheng, however, didn’t think that way. If Ye Chen could make it, that would be better than him not coming at all. Ye Chen was skilled in martial arts and he was the one who defeated the Mutant Winged Dragon. His arrival would significantly calm the people of the Immortal Demon Domain. By then, he might even have some suggestions—it would certainly be better than now, where he had no way of defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan and needed someone to offer advice.

Fang Ziren looked at the position where the New City Sect was trapped. Though it wasn’t far from here, if they couldn’t break free, they might only be able to circle back, which made it doubtful if they could make it over.

“So, what do we do now?” asked Ren Xiongbei.

After analyzing the situation, Lou Xuancheng said, “I think Ye Chen really has no way out. If he did, he would have escaped them by now. Since Ye Chen is coming alone, let’s wait for him to arrive and then decide.”

Ren Haotian responded coldly, “I don’t think his coming over will be of any use. Do you really believe he can defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan by himself?”

Lou Xuancheng wasn’t thinking about that. Ye Chen’s arrival would definitely boost their confidence. What mattered most was that he currently had no idea how to deal with Longhun. They were just managing to hold on to Heavenly City. If Ye Chen came over, perhaps a solution to combat the Dragon Slaying Clan would emerge.

Hu Nanyue said, “We have already managed to defend Heavenly City. Although we can’t defeat them, we do have ways to maintain control of Heavenly City. Let’s wait for Ye Chen to arrive and then discuss further.”

Lou Xuancheng glanced at everyone and knew they were anxious. He said, “Actually, the Dragon Slaying Clan is more anxious than we are. They’re outside the city, and we’re inside. They have it worse. Moreover, after all these days, they haven’t figured out how to break our Defense System and lack confidence as well.”

Guan Yi added, “That’s right, we have time to wear them out. The more exhausted they become, the better for us.”

One by one, everyone shared their opinions.

Eventually, they came to a general consensus—to wait. Plainly speaking, no one dared to engage in a decisive battle with Longhun. It was only thanks to the Defense System that they had held on so far. Outside the city walls, without the Defense System, they were hardly a match for Longhun.

Then Ren Xiongbei finally said, “In that case, what else is there to talk about? Let’s just wait.”

Guo Yuyun did not offer any comment and soon returned.

He Xibai had just learned the news and upon hearing that Ye Chen was on his way, said, “Is Ye Chen coming?”

Guo Yuyun gulped down two cups of tea and said, “The people from the New City Sect can’t make it.”

“What do you mean?”

“They’ve been trapped in a valley by a group from the Dragon Slaying Clan in collaboration with the Sky Demon.”

“Ye Chen won’t be able to make it either?”

Guo Yuyun said, “Ye Chen may have already separated from the New City Sect and is trying to come alone.”

“If he doesn’t bring the New City Sect with him, how will we surround the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan when he gets here?”

“It’s good enough if he can make it here at all. He probably can’t think of a way to shake them off,” said Guo Yuyun.

“It seems the situation is still quite bad,” He Xibai noted.

“It’s not that terrible as long as we hold on to Heavenly City.” Guo Yuyun’s main concern was whether any unexpected changes would occur.

“So why do you still look so worried?” He Xibai asked.

Guo Yuyun replied, “Danger often comes quietly. It arrives suddenly when we least expect it. Longhun isn’t one to be content with the status quo; he will certainly seek change.” Her greatest fear was not anticipating some danger.

“But we’ve held them off for so many days. If they truly had a solution, wouldn’t they have used it by now?”

“That’s true, but we can’t be careless,” Guo Yuyun continued. “Let’s wait for Ye Chen to arrive before we discuss further.”

“I still think you’re worrying too much. If they really had another trump card, they would have played it already. It’s impossible they would wait until today,” said He Xibai confidently.

“Ah, this person is very clever. Who knows what he’s thinking? We cannot afford to let down our guard.”

Guo Yuyun felt an increasing sense of responsibility as everyone seemed to be growing impatient. All they could do now was to react with calm against activity.

Ye Chen and his group were traveling at night, pressing on day and night.

It was now the third watch, and an inn appeared ahead. The disciple driving the horse car woke Ye Chen up.

“There’s an inn.”

Ye Chen asked, “What time is it?”

“It should be the third watch.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Have them open the door. We need to rest. Whatever needs to be discussed can wait until morning.” After two days on the road, they should be at the foot of Heavenly City Mountain by tomorrow, almost making up for the lost time.

The disciple got off the horse car with a few others, and the inn’s door was opened. The waiter seemed somewhat reluctant, his slumber having been disturbed. But seeing the newcomers were armed with swords, he didn’t dare provoke them or question whether they were good or bad and let them inside.

Ye Chen awoke Wan Danrong and Yang Tao’er.

After getting rooms, Ye Chen left the horse car and other matters to his two assistants and headed to his own room.

At last, he could sleep well in a bed. After several days of significantly lacking rest, it was hard to get used to sleeping in the horse car.

After arranging for those two girls, Ye Chen found his own room.

He had no idea where the night had gone, but was awakened by the cries of a vendor selling steamed buns as the day broke.

Someone was knocking on his room door outside.

“Monkey, hurry up and get up. If you don’t, we probably won’t make it to Heavenly City before dark, and your wife will be snatched away by your brother,” said Wan Danrong.

Ye Chen responded with a grunt.

Wan Danrong went downstairs.

Ye Chen glanced outside, where a beam of sunlight filtered through the half-closed window, casting a light into the room.

By the time he got downstairs, they had already started eating. The assistant had gone to change the horses, swapping out any that were injured or unwell.

“How did you sleep last night?” Ye Chen asked.

Yang Tao’er said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t dream about you.”

“Oh, I think you must have dreamed about me, and that’s why you’re speaking ironically,” he teased.

Yang Tao’er called out, “Waiter, another plate of meat dumplings, please.”

The waiter over there acknowledged her request.

“We can quickly make our way over now. You can rest easy,” Rong’er said.

“We’ve managed to make up for the lost time, but we still can’t be careless. We need to hurry over,” Ye Chen said, grabbing his chopsticks. The dumplings were really quite good.

“I think the female monkey has been missing you so much that the flowers have wilted,” he joked.

“I wouldn’t know,” she said indifferently.

Yang Tao’er added, “This guy is naturally unattached; it’s always others who get attached to him.”

“That’s not entirely true. I do worry about people occasionally. For example, I’m quite concerned about you. When I left last time, I really missed you,” he confessed.

“It seems you’re concerned about any pretty girl you see,” she accused.

“Pretty, not necessarily. Still, I do regret not agreeing to be your godfather right away. If I had really married you, I wonder what it would have been like,” he mused aloud.

“Heh, with those lecherous eyes of yours, you start drooling at the sight of even a modestly attractive girl. I knew you weren’t any good,” she said firmly.

Ye Chen remembered the first time he saw her and said, “Really? I wasn’t that undisciplined.”

“At that moment, I thought I had met a big pervert,” she replied.

“Do you have to describe me like that?” he protested.

Yang Tao’er continued eating without paying her any attention.

Longhun did not rush in, but he did not stop either, though he was obviously not as fierce as the last couple of days.

Knowing that Mo Ku would bring the Dragon Slayer Sword, he certainly did not need to be in a rush. All he needed was to wait.

Guo Yuyun and He Xibai were at the very back.

He Xibai looked for a long time and did not see Longhun flying in. In the past few days, Longhun would always barge in, but today he did not, so He Xibai said, “I don’t think Longhun is that divine. He’s run out of tricks.”

Guo Yuyun looked outside, feeling something was off. Could it be that Longhun really had no other options?

“You can be at ease. As long as Longhun doesn’t break in, we can just hold out and wear them down. They definitely can’t outlast us. There’s plenty of food in Heavenly City, so there’s no need to worry about running out,” He Xibai assured.

Guo Yuyun did not speak, simply lying down on the battlements. Earlier they had fought fire with fire, and her role was to handle the energy towers, so she did not need to go to the frontlines, just to monitor the surroundings of Hell Tower.

“Once Ye Chen and his group arrive, maybe then we’ll be able to come up with a way to deal with them,” said He Xibai.

But Guo Yuyun really wanted to know Longhun’s weakness. During this time, the people of the Immortal Demon Realm had been very passive, as if they were afraid of Longhun. They had almost been wiped out several times, so who wouldn’t be fearful? And that made them appear somewhat conservative.

They all dared not fight a decisive battle with Longhun, waiting for Ye Chen was a certainty.

Even if Ye Chen came, what could he do?

Guo Yuyun pondered, knowing that both Longhun and Shangguan Heiqi were indeed formidable.

“Stop looking. I don’t think they’ll come up with any better ideas,” He Xibai said dismissively.

“No, Longhun is sending people to deal with the New City Sect to buy time. They can’t possibly want to drag this out with us. They’re waiting for the people from New City Sect to come,” Guo Yuyun disagreed.

“But they really can’t seem to find a way to breach the city right now,” He Xibai admitted.

Guo Yuyun was somewhat doubtful but could only think that way.

If she were Longhun, what would she do? And if Monkey was here, what would he do?
