Chapter 965 - 965 951 No Going Back

Chapter 965: Chapter 951: No Going Back Chapter 965: Chapter 951: No Going Back Ye Chen pulled Guo Yuyun outside.

Guo Yuyun was really angry. She struggled free of his grip and turned her head, shouting, “Why do you always do this?”

Ye Chen didn’t know how to face her. Pointing toward a group of injured people approaching, he said, “Look, so many people have died, many of them from Demon Palace City, your fellow disciples. You can’t bear to see this continue, can you? There’s no other way. This disaster should come to an end; no more lives should be sacrificed for it.

“Now, with no way to deal with the Dragon Slayer Sword, this is the only path we can take. If I had a choice, of course, I wouldn’t want to do this. But now, without the Raging Wolf Ring, we can’t confront the Dragon Slaying Clan. With the Raging Wolf Army, I’ll be able to control them and use them against the Dragon Slaying Clan and Shangguan Heiqi.”

“You’re completely insane. We could leave first and then slowly figure something out.” She knew what Ye Chen meant, but she couldn’t accept it.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Just take another look. Ren Xiongbei was pushed back from the secret passage. Clearly, they’re prepared for that. We’ll have to find another way out. Think about it. Tonight, will the soul of the dragon let us leave Heavenly City easily? No, they won’t. What follows will be a manhunt. With the Immortal Demon Realm collapsing, how many more will die or be injured? The chances in the future will be even slimmer. If I have a way to end all this, why not try?”

Guo Yuyun looked over and said, “Have you thought about the consequences of becoming the Wolf King?”

Ye Chen looked at the fiery Guo Yuyun and fell silent for a moment before saying, “Of course, I know. I may not be able to return, perhaps always remain as the Wolf King, but if I alone can end all this, then it is worth it.”

“How noble of you,” Guo Yuyun said with a cold laugh.

“It’s not about being noble, but for the greater good of the masses. Do you want Heavenly City to become like Demon Palace City?” Ye Chen didn’t know what else to say.

“Once you become the Wolf King, those people will kill you.”

“Possibly, but it’s just one life.”

“What about me, then?”

Ye Chen looked at the girl, at a loss for words for a while before finally saying, “Find someone who cares about you, treats you well, and start a new life. I believe you can do it.”

A foot kicked him fiercely, causing Ye Chen to double over in pain. Guo Yuyun had already turned away.

Ye Chen still shouted, “There really is no better way. This is the only way out I can think of.”

Guo Yuyun ran back into the courtyard crying, just in time to bump into He Xibai. He Xibai didn’t know what had happened and followed her inside. It was supposed to be a happy day, but with such events occurring, many people were in a panic. They heard people outside saying that Ye Chen was going to become the Wolf King, not knowing whether it was true or false.

Guo Yuyun was crying.

They had finally met, but she never expected it to end like this. How could she accept it?

At this moment, with everyone in a state of panic, thinking only of fleeing, Hu Nanyue told the other disciples about the results of the assembly to calm them down and let them know there was still a way to confront Longhun.

Ye Chen sat on the stone steps, smiling coldly.

If he really had a choice, he wouldn’t be doing this, but isn’t he out of options?

Someone happened to pass by, Guo Yuqing. She saw a figure in white sitting on the stone steps and quickly walked over.

“Is everything they’re saying true?” Guo Yuqing asked.

Ye Chen lifted his head and silently looked at her.

“Does Yun’er know?” Guo Yuqing thought to herself that Yun’er couldn’t possibly be unaware.

“She just found out,” Ye Chen replied with a slight nod.

“How could it come to this?” Guo Yuqing looked at him, so helpless yet always like a child, so straightforward, and sat down beside him.

Ye Chen had also heard about Guo Yuqing’s ordeal and said, “As long as it ends all this, it’s worth it.”

“You always think of others. Haven’t you ever thought of yourself?” Guo Yuqing was once again touched by the same person who had always moved her heart. She thought back to her childhood memories – those precious treasures buried deep within her heart seemed to leap out involuntarily.

“Maybe that’s just my fate.”

Guo Yuqing took a deep breath and said, “I really don’t know what to say. It’s just like when we were kids, you got beaten up, your face covered in wounds, but you didn’t care. You just endured it quietly.”

Ye Chen turned and glanced at Guo Yuqing, smiling. “You still remember things from when we were kids.”

“How could I forget? That’s my most precious memory.”

Having heard about Su Zhanze’s affair, Ye Chen asked, “I heard someone say Su Zhanze went off to kill Longhun?”

“Yuan Jingxing said so. He probably thought that since no one believed in him anymore, if he could kill Longhun, everything could be resolved. But what exactly happened afterward, nobody knows. The last news about him came from Fang Ziren, saying he ventured into devilry, and Fang Ziren threw him off a cliff.”

“Perhaps the heavens won’t let him leave just like that; he might still be alive.”

“I don’t know, but I can’t accept it. My father died because of him, and so many disciples from Demon Palace City as well.”

“He did wrong, but it was because of you,”

“That’s not an excuse.”

Ye Chen suddenly let out a sigh and said, “Childhood was better, though there was fighting and noise, but those were minor scuffles, nobody died. Only when you grow up do you realize life is so tough.”

“Yeah, when we were little, we thought everything would be better once we grew up, but then you realize the things from childhood really weren’t that significant.” Guo Yuqing had also heard that the night before her wedding, Ye Chen had come looking for her, but he didn’t show up because of her and Su Zhanze. She continued, “I heard you were planning to see me the night before my marriage?”

As if unveiling something long sealed away, Ye Chen lifted his head.

“If you had seen me that night, what would you have said?”

Ye Chen glanced at Guo Yuqing, shook his head, and said, “I don’t know, maybe I would have tried to take you back.”

Guo Yuqing giggled.

“If I really had come back to take you away, would you have agreed to go with me?” Ye Chen also became curious.

Guo Yuqing looked at Ye Chen, was silent for a moment, and also answered, “I don’t know.”

“Life doesn’t have ‘ifs’. It’s precisely the lack of ‘ifs’ that makes the past so significant.”

Guo Yuqing let out a sigh as well and said, “If you really became the Wolf King and started down the path of a demon, what should be done?”

“When that time comes, just aim straight for my monkey head and strike down with your sword. That solves everything, don’t be soft-hearted. I’m not afraid of dying, but I can’t stand pain. If I were half-dead and struggling, that would be unbearable for me.”

“You’re still the same as before, always joking around.”

“There’s no turning back, so, one really needs to cherish what they have, to give others a chance,” Ye Chen hinted at something more.

“I can’t stop you from doing such a thing, nor do I know what to say to you, but I know you must have thought it through, or else you wouldn’t do it.”

“There wasn’t much to think about really, just looking around this city, thinking about what has happened recently, it’s clear. This all should come to an end.”

“So you’re always thinking about others, never considering yourself.”

“What to say… In fact, all of this started because of me. Longhun came for the death of my father. Although everything changed, there was still a cause.”

“Don’t just sit here like a fool, get up quickly and have a good talk with Yun’er.”

Ye Chen said, “Honestly, I don’t know what to say to her.”

“Then you can’t keep hiding here, you must go back,” Guo Yuqing pulled him up.

Ye Chen slowly stood up.

The two walked side by side.

“Then we can only defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan and figure out a way from there,” Guo Yuqing declared.

“For now, that seems to be the plan, just take one step at a time.” How could Ye Chen not have pondered deeply? Even if it came to that fatal step, it would be worth it.

“Yun’er finally pulled through, knowing you were alive, then suddenly she had to accept such a decision. It’s hard for her to take,”

Ye Chen knew this all too well and said, “If something really happens to me, take good care of Yun’er.”

“Nothing will happen, everything will turn out fine, and the task of taking care of Yun’er is still up to you.” Guo Yuqing certainly didn’t want Ye Chen to meet with an accident.

“So many have died, Immortal City and Demon Palace City have been broken, this all should have an ending.”

He Xibai didn’t know how to comfort Guo Yuyun; the abruptness of events left everyone helpless. They had just learned Ye Chen was alive, only to be faced with such a conclusion.

Guo Yuyun stopped crying, toying with a cup in her hands.

“Really, those guys are too cruel. Ye Chen hasn’t even become the Wolf King and they’re already thinking of locking him in Hell Tower,” He Xibai complained indignantly.

Guo Yuyun remained silent.

He Xibai continued, “Ye Chen shouldn’t have done it. Let those people suffer, they have no compassion at all. It’s disheartening, especially Ren Haotian and Qiao Haoyu, those two actually suggested it. They have no conscience. I think their conscience has been eaten by dogs.”

Guo Yuyun still said nothing.

Probably having accepted the fact, He Xibai knew Guo Yuyun couldn’t have stopped it, especially since that monkey was right, there were indeed no other options, only this path was left.

“Maybe after becoming the Wolf King, there might be another way for him to escape.”
