Chapter 973 - 973 959 Guo Yuqing Captured

Chapter 973: 959: Guo Yuqing Captured Chapter 973: 959: Guo Yuqing Captured Ling Bo followed Ye Chen back, noticing Ye Chen’s urgency. With Guo Yuqing captured, who wouldn’t be anxious? He said, “Sect Leader, how about you leave everything to me? I and Guan Yi will join forces with Jiang Zhuge and the rest to deal with the night assaults and those Dragon Slaying Clan members.”

Li Mo said, “It’s very likely that by the time you get there, they would have already run away.”

“That’s true, the news here surely can’t be contained much longer, but we can’t just let them off either,” Ling Bo said.

Ye Chen replied, “Alright, you go ahead first, I’ll follow later.”

“Okay, I will coordinate with Guan Yi and the others.”

Of course, Ye Chen trusted Ling Bo’s composure. After receiving a few words of instruction from Ye Chen, Ling Bo left, and Heavenly City quieted down once again.

Xuan Si and Rong’er hurried over and discovered that Guo Yuqing had been kidnapped.

Guo Yuyun was extremely anxious, unsure of what the Dragon Slaying Clan people might do to her sister. Ye Chen was still feeling unwell, as he had just experienced magic power for the first time and was struggling to adapt.

Yang Tao’er, knowing that magic power could devour its master, said, “Monkey, come here quickly, I’ll have a look at you.”

“I’m fine,” Ye Chen protested.

“If something goes wrong, it will be too late.”

Guo Yuyun quickly called out, “Let the girl check you.”

Everything fell silent as Yang Tao’er took his pulse. If it had been an ordinary person, they might not have been able to withstand such a powerful devouring and could have been completely consumed by the magic power within the ring. She took out a bottle of medicine and said, “Carry this with you, remember to take one pill every day. It will calm you down. You must not be impatient or angry.” For now, it could only temporarily ease the magic power within him.

“Should be okay, right?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“He’s not going crazy yet. Aside from the risk of his meridians becoming disordered, he must avoid the fifteenth. I will find a way to help him control the magic power that day,” Yang Tao’er responded.

Ye Chen’s heart, however, was entirely focused on Guo Yuqing, wondering if Longhun, because of him, might kill Qing’er.

Guo Yuyun had seldom seen Ye Chen so anxious before.

Ye Chen didn’t want Longhun to take out his hatred for him on Guo Yuqing.

Mo Ku, with only three hundred men and an injured Longhun, took advantage of the night and fled down the mountain. Mitra Monk returned shortly after.

Mo Ku quickly asked, “Mitra Monk, did you manage to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword?”

Mitra Monk shook his head and said, “A group of masked men in black appeared. They were in the woods, a step ahead of us, and got hold of the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

“What, masked men in black? Do you know which sect they are from?”

“I don’t know. Later, people from the Immortal and Demon realms arrived, but there was a great chaos. The masked men quickly lost us, and we had to retreat hastily for fear of getting trapped and being unable to escape.”

A young maid was struggling behind them.

Mo Ku shouted, “Who is this maid?”

“She is the eldest daughter of Guo Mingyu, the former princess of the Demon Palace. Fearing an encirclement, we originally intended to capture her sister as a hostage, but this girl jumped out and rescued her sister, so we captured her instead,” replied Mitra Monk.

Longhun, upon waking, asked, “How many people do we have left?”

Hearing that the Dragon Slayer Sword had been snatched by a group of men in black was a heavy blow to him. Even if he managed to retrieve the Dragon Slayer Sword, it might not be possible to turn the tide, not to mention that the sword was lost, and of course, he felt disheartened, still not out of danger.

Slaughter Saint replied, “Only just over three hundred men left. Jing Po died at the foot of Heavenly City, and Elder Xi Feng’s fate is unknown.”

Longhun seemed disheartened, knowing that the overall situation had slipped away and that the Immortal and Demon realms would certainly not spare the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Slaughter Saint said, “It was all because of Ace Killer and his group—they fled first. If not for them, we wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.”

Longhun, however, knew it wasn’t because Ace Killer and his men had fled. Suddenly, he sighed deeply, as if resigning himself to fate.

Mitra Monk said urgently, “Young Master, we should hurry and leave. The forces of the Immortal and Demon realms will definitely take the chance to annihilate us, attacking Dragon Slayer Island.”

Longhun clearly understood this, saying, “Send a message to Old Du via carrier pigeon, telling them to leave quickly.”

“Right, they should be made aware of what happened in Heavenly City, so it doesn’t catch them off guard.”

Suddenly, Longhun looked towards a young maid tied up and sitting on a distant rock, saying, “I heard that back in the day, Ye Chen was an apprentice in Immortal City. He got into trouble over a girl and angered Su Zhanze, leading to Su Hong getting involved. Feng Nianmei misunderstood Ye Chen’s identity and expelled him and her son from Immortal City. Is that the girl?”

Slaughter Saint quickly said, “Yes, that’s right, there was such a matter. So Su Zhanze has never really liked Ye Chen. Back then, your father almost used this to drive a wedge between Ye Chen and them. Anyway, Su Zhanze has always been unwilling to acknowledge Ye Chen.”

“It seems that this girl and he have an unusual relationship,” Longhun let out a cold laugh.

Mitra Monk was very anxious at this moment, saying, “Young Master, we should hurry and return to Dragon Slayer Island, that is the proper course of action.” He was worried about being surrounded at any moment, and with the situation as it was, preserving their strength was paramount.

Longhun knew that even if they returned to Dragon Slayer Island, they would not be able to withstand a joint attack from the Immortal and Demon realms and the Dragon Slaying Clan. He said, “Returning to Dragon Slayer Island would be useless. The people from the Immortal and Demon realms will surely launch an attack on Dragon Slayer Island.”

Slaughter Saint said, “Honestly, as long as the green hills are there, one need not fear running out of firewood. We should stay alive.”

“Go, leave this girl to me. You all go, leave the Central Plains, leave Dragon Slayer Island.” Longhun stood up.

Mo Ku didn’t understand what Longhun really meant, and asked, “Young Master, aren’t you leaving?”

“They are definitely trying to capture me. They won’t let me go. If I follow you, you will be even less safe.”

After hearing this, Slaughter Saint responded, “But we can’t just abandon you.”

“Heh, tired, everyone just go. Don’t want to play anymore.” The Dragon Slayer Sword was also lost, and the Immortal Demon Domain wouldn’t let him off. The defeat was set, but he absolutely couldn’t just admit defeat like this, certainly not.

“Young Master, you should still come with us.”

“I am not going. You go and give the antidote to the people from Sky Demon. Let them hurry up and go. Dragon Slayer Island could be struck by disaster at any moment. I advise you, don’t go back to Dragon Slayer Island again.” This time leaving Dragon Slayer Island, after killing so many from the Immortal Demon Domain, the people from that domain, having caught such an opportunity, would not be satisfied until they destroyed Dragon Slayer Island.

“Young Master, what do you want to do?”

“I’ve got to give him a gift no matter what. After all, we’ve been brothers for a while. How can I not send him off with a gift?” Longhun looked into the distance at Guo Yuqing, his heart filled with unwillingness.

After a long silence, Longhun finally spoke, “Go ahead, everyone go.” Losing the Dragon Slayer Sword completely shattered his confidence. If he still had the Dragon Slayer Sword, maybe he could have taken a gamble, but now, it seemed like fate had decreed that he must lose to the other party. Crazy, he never would have thought that he would turn himself into the Wolf King.

Mitra Monk glanced at Mo Ku and didn’t know what to say, but everyone understood that Longhun had made up his mind.

“Hurry up and go, tired, don’t want to play anymore.”

“If you need help, we can offer it,” the Mitra Monk, not knowing what Longhun had in mind, but certain he had a plan, said.

“No need, you all leave. Can’t let everyone die here. If everyone dies here, then Dragon Slayer Island will truly be finished. Go and save yourselves,” Longhun said.

Ye Chen hadn’t slept all night, wondering what Longhun would do after capturing Guo Yuqing.

Would he kill Guo Yuqing? That shouldn’t be the case. Based on his understanding of Longhun, he wouldn’t kill a girl who posed no threat to him. The last time, didn’t he save Wan Danrong? So, would he use Guo Yuqing to threaten him? That was very possible.

Ye Chen and Lou Xuancheng, leading their people, left the Heavenly City Sect and continued to track the Dragon Slaying Clan.

That morning, they confirmed the Dragon Slaying Clan was just ahead.

Last night, Guo Yuyun had a nightmare in which she saw her sister being killed, which left her in very bad spirits. During breakfast, she mentioned the nightmare to Ye Chen.

Only the two of them were at the breakfast table; Yang Tao’er and her comrades hadn’t gotten up yet.

Ye Chen looked at Guo Yuyun and said, “Longhun likely won’t kill your sister.”

“Why?”

Ye Chen analyzed and said, “Do you remember at Kunlun Mountain? Wan Danrong was possessed by Resentful Spirits, and it was Longhun who saved her. He knew Wan Danrong was one of our people, but he still saved her.”

“That’s because there was a girl by his side who persuaded him; he helped only after that.”

“Right, possibly, but it still proves that Longhun doesn’t kill just anyone who poses no threat to him. Although he is cold-blooded, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Guo Yuyun shook her head and said, “What if he knows about my sister’s past with you? Maybe then he wouldn’t do the same.”

“Don’t scare yourself. Longhun doesn’t kill indiscriminately.”

“Then would he threaten you?”

Ye Chen truly couldn’t tell, but if Longhun did so, Qing’er would certainly be safe.

Guo Yuyun was getting anxious.

Just then, Li Mo came running over, holding a letter in his hand, hurrying over.

Ye Chen asked, “What’s the matter?”

Li Mo handed the mysterious letter to Ye Chen. Upon opening it, Ye Chen’s expression immediately turned serious. It was a letter from Longhun, simple in content, informing him that Guo Yuqing was in his hands. If he wished for her to live, he must come alone to Bell and Drum City by the next day, or else face the consequences.

“What happened?” Guo Yuyun snatched the letter and after reading, she was stunned, murmuring, “Longhun really is threatening you.”

Ye Chen, looking at the letter, was at a loss for words.

“Where is Bell and Drum City?” Guo Yuyun asked.

Li Mo hurriedly retrieved a map and said, “It’s right here, we can get there in a day.”

Ye Chen called out, “Li Mo, prepare a fast horse for me.”

Li Mo left.
