Chapter 978 - 978 964 Sky Mountain Snow Lotus

Chapter 978: Chapter 964: Sky Mountain Snow Lotus Chapter 978: Chapter 964: Sky Mountain Snow Lotus It was hell, a gore-soaked mass, lying there as if asleep.

All were corpses, his face covered in bloodstains; a familiar woman lay ahead, her white dress dyed red with fresh blood, she was dead beyond doubt.

“No, no, no…” Ye Chen, who had regained his senses, ran over, his hands covered in fresh blood, all this must have been his doing, there were no other survivors, he couldn’t remember how it all happened, but he was sure it was his deed, his clothing soaked through with blood.

He called out Guo Yuyun’s name: “I beg you, don’t let this happen, my Yun’er.” Covering his head, he recalled everything.

It must not, I beg you, such a thing must never happen.

But he could not awaken from it…

With a clatter, the horse car jolted, nearly shaking the entire carriage and awakening Ye Chen inside.

Only upon opening his eyes did he realize, it was all just a nightmare.

The clothes on his back were drenched, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his expression still vacant, fortunately, none of it was real. In the past half-month, he’d lost count of how many times he had experienced such dreams, each time frightening him half to death.

In his embrace was a wooden box the size of a head, which he hurriedly opened.

Thankfully, the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus was still there, Guo Yuyun’s lifesaving medicine; if it were lost, she would have no hope.

The horse car was still in motion, driven by Li Mo; it was completely dark by then.

Ye Chen changed his tone, “Li Mo, how much longer until we arrive?”

They were hurrying to Divine Doctor Zhu’s Dragonfly Mountain; he had to return within the time Zhu had specified, otherwise, even with the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus from Sky Mountain, he couldn’t save Guo Yuyun.

The driver, Li Mo, just learned of Ye Chen’s awakening; during this period, he had been so exhausted that he nearly died on Sky Mountain, he replied, “Soon, we will arrive in half an hour.”

Bell and Drum City, tricked by Longhun’s scheme, succumbing to the beast within, he had killed hundreds of innocents; Guo Yuyun was severely injured, and according to Divine Doctor Zhu’s diagnosis, without the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, not even gods could save her.

So Ye Chen and Li Mo climbed Sky Mountain in search of the Snow Lotus. Most of his subordinates who went with him ended up buried on Sky Mountain.

Fortunately, the heavens favored the diligent, and he found the Snow Lotus.

But Ye Chen’s inner peace was disturbed once more, the Wolf King’s Magic Power had begun to awaken within him, and he knew not when he might revert to a Raging Wolf, killing indiscriminately.

Even now, adhering to Divine Doctor Zhu’s instructions, he was slowly losing control.

In half a month, in addition to doing everything possible to find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, he was preoccupied with one thought – he must not allow a repeat of the Bell and Drum City incident. This time, he was lucky to have found the Snow Lotus, but what about next time…

An idea arose in his heart, he knew he was dangerous and shouldn’t bring danger to those around him.

Upon returning from Bell and Drum City, Divine Doctor Zhu had given his verdict that there was no cure for him and that he could gradually descend into madness.

So Ye Chen went to Sky Mountain to search for the Snow Lotus.

It was during this time that the Demon Domain launched an attack on Dragon Slayer Island.

The disappearance of the Dragon Slayer Sword and Longhun gave them reason to believe that members of the Dragon Slaying Clan had done it because the culprits who stole the Dragon Slayer Sword and rescued Longhun were a group skilled in the martial arts of Dragon Slayer Island.

Lou Xuancheng and Ren Xiongbei worried that if they spared Dragon Slayer Island and allowed the Dragon Slaying Clan to catch their breath, they might make a comeback, so they immediately prepared to invade Dragon Slayer Island.

Led by Lou Xuancheng and Ren Xiongbei, each donning the Demonic Pearl and the Immortal Pearl respectively, they organized the disciples of the Demon Domain to attack Dragon Slayer Island, and they captured it. However, they were disappointed, for the Dragon Slayer Sword did not appear, nor did Longhun make a sacrifice.

But it was inexplicable, those masked individuals had used the martial arts of Dragon Slayer Island, and the most powerful among them wielded the techniques of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. If the Dragon Slayer Sword was in the hands of the Dragon Slaying Clan members, why would it not emerge when they attacked Dragon Slayer Island?

Longhun unexpectedly did not appear either. He is, after all, the Island Master of Dragon Slayer Island, and he should not have abandoned it before Guan Gutuo gave up on it.

But it was just that bizarre.

Ye Chen was filled with doubts, mainly because if the people who took Longhun and stole the Dragon Slayer Sword that night were a group, why would they wear masks? He asked, “Li Mo, are you sure it was a group that took Longhun and stole the Dragon Slayer Sword?”

The horse car driver Li Mo replied, “I’m sure because I remember one man’s sword. Although they were masked, I could not mistake that emerald green jade with the dragon pattern on the hilt. Moreover, they all used the martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“Are you sure their leader used the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?”

Li Mo answered, “I can be even more certain of this because the Sect Leader uses the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. I’m quite familiar with the techniques from the secret manual and wouldn’t mistake them. The moves he used, while not as skilled or fierce as the Sect Leader’s and lacking the Sect Leader’s power and depth of Internal Power, were definitely from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.”

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. If it was people from the Dragon Slaying Clan, why would they show up secretly, not only stealing the Dragon Slayer Sword but also taking Longhun? He then asked, “Was Longhun abducted or taken away?”

After recalling the event, Li Mo, who remembered Longhun being nearly unconscious at the time, said, “Longhun was knocked unconscious by a move from the Sect Leader and was carried away supported by the arms.”

So they were really with Longhun. During the great battle at the Bell and Drum Establishment, they should have come out to help Longhun, but they did not, which was also unexplainable, unless…

Li Mo called out, “Sect Leader, if the Dragon Slayer Sword is not found, it will always be a threat.”

Ye Chen knew all too well. He, of course, also wanted to know the whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Sword. With such immense power, if it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Mo, aware of the Sect Leader’s predicament, felt pity for his Sect Leader. According to Divine Doctor Zhu’s diagnosis, if a way wasn’t found to remove the magic power of the Wolf King, it would eventually spiral out of control. Divine Doctor Zhu suggested trying to transfer the demonic power of the wolf poison to someone else, finding a scapegoat, which might be successful, but the Sect Leader would never agree to it.

Li Mo, who had been with Ye Chen for the longest time, knew him best and was aware he would never do such a thing, which was why he was very worried.

Ye Chen felt a headache coming on and asked, “By the way, you received a letter from Ling Bo yesterday; what did it say about how Qingxuan Sect’s Sect Leader, Liu Yunzhi, died?”

Li Mo said, “They said he died in a brawl over the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. As for who exactly killed him, no one knows, but it was definitely done by people from the Demon Domain since they were the ones who broke into the secret chamber.”

It turned out they thought the Dragon Sword would be in the secret chamber. They rushed in, all wanting the Dragon Sword. They were disappointed but found the Red Volume of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, which comes in two volumes, a Red Volume and a Black Volume.

Despite the disappointment, they all wanted the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, having seen the martial arts of Ye Chen and Longhun.

Li Mo went on, “Back then, someone released smoke. Everyone wanted the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, and I never thought people from the Demon Domain would do such a thing. But it happened – a chaotic scramble ensued, and Liu Yunzhi was killed. Some say Ren Xiongbei did it; others say Fang Ziren. They say Liu Yunzhi had seized the secret manual but was targeted by Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren who couldn’t let him keep it for himself. After a fierce fight, Liu Yunzhi ended up dead.”

Liu Yunzhi’s death at the hands of these two made sense since they indeed each ended up with the Red Volume and the Black Volume of the secret manual and left Dragon Slayer Island without a word to Lou Xuancheng and the others. Probably fearing that others might covet the secret manual and pose a risk to their lives, he shook his head with a cold laugh, finding it all too unbelievable.

Ye Chen, however, remained silent.

Shaking his head, Li Mo said, “I see that the people of the Demon Domain have become more and more selfish. It’s not a good sign. On the way here, I’ve heard quite a few rumors.”

Ye Chen was also surprised.

“Sect Leader, the Demon Domain has changed a lot from the past; we need to be cautious.” On the road, Li Mo had also heard that the people of the Demon Domain on Dragon Slayer Island had discovered a secret that Longhun wanted the Wolf King’s Ring to gain its magic power, which could be used in martial arts training.

After murdering hundreds at the Bell and Drum Establishment, people of the Demon Domain feared he would eventually lose control and began sending assassins after Ye Chen to eliminate a future threat.

“You’ve done so much for the Demon Domain, regardless of your own safety, summoning the Raging Wolf Clan to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan. Yet they ignore it all and plan to dispose of you, supposedly for justice,” sighed Li Mo, increasingly disliking the people of the Demon Domain.

“Their concerns about me becoming the Wolf King and eventually losing control are reasonable,” Ye Chen admitted.

Hearing this, Li Mo felt a bit bitter. Everyone knew how much the Sect Leader had sacrificed, but those people were heartless. He said, “Sect Leader, you mustn’t think this way. These people, they’re no good. For the sake of the secret manual, they could kill Liu Yunzhi. Killing you would only be for the ring, and doing it for the Demon Domain is just an excuse to justify your murder.”

Ye Chen gazed out the window, at a loss for words.

“Without the Sect Leader, the Demon Domain has already eradicated the Dragon Slaying Clan, yet they are devoid of feeling, actually issuing a warrant for your arrest.”
