Chapter 982 - 982 968 The Whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer

Chapter 982: Chapter 968: The Whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Sword Chapter 982: Chapter 968: The Whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Sword “Shouldn’t you be with the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan? Why are you wandering alone on the street?” Wan Danrong asked with concern, considering she was pregnant after all.

“I got separated from them a while ago,” Shi Xueqin replied as she ate.

“Being pregnant, you shouldn’t be wandering the streets alone. The people from the Demon Domain are searching for you, and it would be terrible if something actually happened,” Wan Danrong said worriedly.

Shi Xueqin had only found out about her pregnancy a few days earlier. When she first learned of it, she was utterly unable to accept it, which explained why she felt so despondent and didn’t know where to go, aimlessly wandering about.

Wan Danrong said, “We’re not bad people; you can stay here and rest.”

“That would be rather embarrassing.”

“Hey, I know you’re not a bad person either, even though you’re from the Dragon Slaying Clan. But I know that Longhun is the worst of them all; you’re just forced into this situation,” Wan Danrong continued.

Despite Wan Danrong’s words, Shi Xueqin just gave a cold smile.

“Whose child are you carrying? Can you tell me?” Ye Chen asked, unsure why he felt compelled to. Perhaps it was because he and Longhun were actually brothers, even though Longhun refused to acknowledge it. If she really was carrying Longhun’s child, then he would be the child’s uncle.

Shi Xueqin glanced at him, aware that he was Longhun’s biological elder brother, and said, “Longhun’s.”

Wan Danrong looked over. Ye Chen suddenly felt a wave of pity for her. The child was, after all, innocent. Regardless of whether Longhun was dead or alive, he should try his best to help her, or else his late mother would definitely not agree.

Suddenly, Guo Yuqing asked, “By the way, Miss Qiner, I know Su Zhanze joined your Dragon Slaying Clan, but what exactly happened after that? How did Su Zhanze become possessed by madness?” Although she didn’t want to bring up Su Zhanze, he was still her husband, and she very much wanted to know what had happened to him.

Shi Xueqin looked at her and said, “Su Zhanze and Ling Li conspired together, took me captive with four assassins, and forced Longhun to come to my rescue, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Longhun. But Su Zhanze didn’t expect that the Heavenly Pearl he recovered was actually a trap set by Longhun, and he was poisoned by the gas emitted from the pearl.”

“What, Su Zhanze was poisoned by the gas from the Heavenly Pearl?”

“Yes, he must have gone insane due to the poison,” Shi Xueqin said.

“Who is Ling Li?” Ye Chen asked, curious.Shi Xueqin explained, “Ling Li is my junior brother. His father, Ling Feng, used to follow my father. However, when Longhun killed my father, he also killed his father. Ling Li was fortunate enough to jump into the sea and escape.”

Wan Danrong paused and then said, “So it truly was Longhun who killed Shi Yin Zun.” She looked at the girl with unspeakable sympathy; if Longhun had murdered her father, how could she bear Longhun’s child?

Shi Xueqin gave a cold smile, “Don’t look at me like that. It was only that night, from Ling Li, that I found out Longhun killed my father. How foolish I was.” Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Hey, don’t get carried away with your thoughts.”

Shi Xueqin just felt it was ridiculous.

“Are those four assassins highly skilled in martial arts?” Ye Chen asked.

“Very skilled; each one has a dragon of a different color.”

Li Mo remembered something and said, “So they could use four dragons, right?”

“Right.”

Li Mo quickly said, “That night when the Dragon Slayer Sword was stolen, there were four people who could summon dragons.” He looked at Ye Chen as he spoke.

Ye Chen asked, “Does Ling Li know the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?”

“Impossible, he’s my junior brother. If he knew the martial arts from the Secret Manual, I would definitely know,” Shi Xueqin replied.

“Then who else in the Dragon Slaying Clan knows the martial arts from the Secret Manual?” Ye Chen was puzzled.

Shi Xueqin thought for a moment and said, “Besides my father, Mutant Winged Dragon, Longhun, only the Mitra Monk and the Zen Master knew it. But my father, Mutant Winged Dragon, and the Zen Master are all dead.”

Ye Chen knew of the Mitra Monk, who was a follower of Longhun, as he had fought with him, and asked, “No one else?”

“No, there’s definitely no one else I know of,” she replied.

Ye Chen suddenly looked at Guo Yuqing and said, “Su Zhanze might not be dead.”

Guo Yuqing looked over in surprise and asked, “How do you know?”

“The ones who stole the Dragon Slayer Sword must be Su Zhanze and Ling Li.” It seemed to be the only explanation. Without Shi Xueqin, he really wouldn’t be able to clarify.

Guo Yuqing looked over.

Ye Chen said, “Su Zhanze knows the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.” He knew there had been a time when Su Zhanze possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword, and he must have learned the martial arts from the Secret Manual through the Jade Ring of the sword.

Guo Yuqing was taken aback.

As if understanding, Li Mo said, “That’s right, it all makes sense now. Su Zhanze didn’t die when Fang Ziren knocked him down the cliff. He was with Ling Li, and that night, they were the ones who stole the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Guo Yuqing was very surprised. It seemed that what Yuan Jingxing had said was true. Su Zhanze joined the Dragon Slaying Clan to kill the Dragon Soul. She wondered,”How come they have not succeeded in killing the Dragon Soul?”

Shi Xueqin said,”There are very few who can play tricks in front of the Dragon Soul. He’s smarter than anyone else, and he must have realized long ago that it was Su Zhanze’s doing. Plus, he has seven extremely mysterious guards to protect him; killing him wouldn’t be so easy.”

Li Mo was somewhat puzzled and asked,”If Ling Li and Su Zhanze were so intent on killing the Dragon Soul, why didn’t they take the opportunity to kill him in Bell and Drum City? Why did they take him away instead?”

Shi Xueqin trembled. Although she deeply hated the Dragon Soul for killing her father, after all, he was still the father of her child. She asked, “Was the Dragon Soul taken away by Ling Li and the others?”

Li Mo said, “The ones who stole the Dragon Slayer Sword and took the Dragon Soul were the same group.”

Shi Xueqin grew colder, knowing that if the Dragon Soul fell into Ling Li’s hands, he would undoubtedly face certain death.

Ye Chen fell silent for a while before saying, “Ling Li didn’t immediately kill the Dragon Soul, there is an explanation for that, which is that Su Zhanze needs the Dragon Soul.”

Li Mo became even more astonished and said, “The Dragon Soul caused Su Zhanze to be possessed, how could he possibly not kill the Dragon Soul?”

Ye Chen explained, “You all don’t know the secret of the ring. If Su Zhanze learned the martial arts within it without the original to reference, he could indeed enhance his power in the short term. However, in the long term, having only half-understood it would be very harmful. He needs the Dragon Soul to help him comprehend it fully; otherwise, even if he survives possession once, he would still fall under its sway again.”

Li Mo was shocked and said, “No wonder they wore masks. It turns out they weren’t on the same side as the Dragon Soul.”

Shi Xueqin listened intently. If this was true, the Dragon Soul might still be alive, but Su Zhanze might kill him for Ling Li at any moment.

Guo Yuqing hadn’t expected things to be this way.

Li Mo suddenly remembered something and said, “That’s right. I remember on the day Fang Ziren was surrounded, the Dragon Soul disappeared. He must have been lured away by Su Zhanze. That’s why he wasn’t there, and in the end, Fang Ziren managed to break through the encirclement.”

Wan Danrong replied, “In that case, Su Zhanze actually did a service.”

Ye Chen had been wanting to clarify the whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Sword and whether the Dragon Soul was alive or dead. It seemed he already had his answer.

Li Mo looked towards Ye Chen and said, “If that’s the case, the Dragon Slayer Sword is in Su Zhanze’s hands, and the Dragon Soul has been captured by Su Zhanze.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

“Then Su Zhanze having the Dragon Slayer Sword shouldn’t pose a threat to us, right?” Li Mo felt, after hearing so much, that Su Zhanze should be considered a good person.

Wan Danrong, however, said, “But Ling Li is a member of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Shi Xueqin didn’t say another word.

Guo Yuqing’s face showed no expression. She felt happy knowing that Su Zhanze hadn’t died. For the past few days, she had been very sad, believing that Su Zhanze had died at the bottom of the cliff, but it turned out he was still alive.

Li Mo still shook his head, saying, “I think we need to find Su Zhanze as soon as possible, especially if the Dragon Slayer Sword is in his hands.” He felt somewhat uneasy.

Ye Chen said nothing and simply glanced at Guo Yuqing.

Yang Tao’er said, “Miss Shi, if you don’t mind staying with us, you are welcome here.”

“How could I impose like that?” Shi Xueqin said, though inwardly she couldn’t help worrying about the Dragon Soul’s safety. She felt a bit foolish; why should she care about the life of an executioner at this time?

Ye Chen suddenly stood up and said, “Let’s not talk any more. I’m leaving Dragonfly Mountain tomorrow. I leave the rest to you.”

He didn’t know what else he could say if he stayed.

Yang Tao’er sniffled upon hearing this.

Wan Danrong ran over, protesting, “Are you really going to just let everything go and not care anymore?”

“I’ve already ended up like this. I don’t want to care about anything anymore. You’re not young anymore; stop waiting to become an old maid and find someone to marry,” Ye Chen said as he walked towards the courtyard gate.

Wan Danrong chased after him, still protesting, “You can’t just leave everything behind like this.”

“I don’t even know when I became Mad Wolf. How can I have the mind to care about you?”

Watching Ye Chen leave, Guo Yuqing also stood up and called out, “Li Mo, come here.”

Li Mo didn’t know what Guo Yuqing wanted, but he had realized the nature of her relationship with Ye Chen and asked, “Miss, what do you need?”

Guo Yuqing took him toward the forest. She knew Ye Chen was going after the Sacred Spirit Stone and that he’d likely take Li Mo with him. She asked, “Can I trust you?”

Li Mo didn’t understand Guo Yuqing’s meaning and said, “Please tell me.”

“Follow Ye Chen and keep in good contact with me, okay?”

Li Mo realized that this girl cared about Ye Chen and nodded slightly.

“I need to know his whereabouts.”

“I’ll do my best.”
