Chapter 983 - 983 969 The Whereabouts of Longhun

Chapter 983: 969: The Whereabouts of Longhun Chapter 983: 969: The Whereabouts of Longhun “Stop fooling around, let’s go back to the Wan Residence,” Ye Chen said to Wan Danrong as they both stopped by the lake. He didn’t know what else to say.

Wan Danrong looked ahead, the lake was very calm. There was no wind today, and it was quiet like a song.

“What if… you can’t save yourself?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and answered, “Live well, live positively, don’t think too much, cherish the years given by the heavens, and don’t leave yourself with regrets.”

“So, we may never see each other again?” Wan Danrong asked.

“I don’t know, maybe in the future, I will get better.”

“Isn’t this too cruel to Yun’er?”

“If we don’t find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus this time, that would be the real cruelty,” Ye Chen said very calmly, clearly after deep deliberation.

“Besides worrying about her getting into trouble, you don’t know how to face her, do you?”

Ye Chen found a rock and sat down.

“It looks like I’ve guessed right. You really feel sorry for Guo Yuyun. If she knew you were dead, especially on Sky Mountain, she would definitely be very upset. She might even become a nun,” Wan Danrong said worriedly, looking at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sighed first; the nightmare was still vivid. Compared to the nightmare, Guo Yuyun’s pain would be temporary, everything would pass, and things would get better later on, he said, “So please help me; I believe you can persuade her.”

“You are too heartless, too obsessed,” she said.

Ye Chen knew the expedition with the Sacred Spirit Sect was bound to be perilous, especially given his condition.

The whip landed on that person’s skin, and the man let out a cry of agony that rang out sharply, ignored by all.

The man on the iron frame was beaten until his skin split and his flesh gaped, and his face bore several scars. This man was Longhun, who probably never expected to end up in such a plight.

Accompanied by laughter, Longhun’s cries of pain seemed to numb himself, making it less painful. He shouted, “That all you’ve got? I can take it!”

Ling Li, hearing this, viciously whipped him several more times.

Suddenly, an exceptionally ugly person appeared; his neck bore scars from burns that spread to the left side of his face. That side of his face looked like a dried fish that had been dead for months, shriveled into a clump, but the other side of his face was unmarked, and if it weren’t for his intact right side, one would never recognize him.

Longhun was really surprised and said, “You mad dog, you’re still alive?”

“Damn it, it’s you, you son of a bitch, who caused me to end up like this!” Su Zhanze ran over furiously, grabbing a branding iron from the coals and pressing it against Longhun’s chest. A scream erupted from Longhun as the red-hot iron touched his skin, sizzling and emitting white smoke.

After Su Zhanze pulled away the branding iron, a plum blossom imprint was left on the contact spot.

The agonized screams abruptly stopped, and then in a softer voice, Longhun said, “If you dare, just kill me.”

Hearing this, Su Zhanze replied, “Die? It won’t be that easy.” He wouldn’t kill him until he had tortured him to the point of preferring death, and he still needed him to spit out the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual and the Dark Beast within him. Beyond that, he held no value.

Longhun thought there must be other reasons why this man had not killed him yet. Especially Ling Li, who was bent on avenging his father, would never let him go; killing him was a matter of time.

“If you want to live longer, quickly recite the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual,” Su Zhanze said coldly.

It seemed truth was being spoken; probably that was why he wasn’t killed immediately. Longhun sneered, “Sure, just don’t know if you dare to practice it.”

Su Zhanze gave him a look. He did have to be wary of Longhun. If he were to do something wrong and become possessed by demons again, not even the gods could save him.

“Damn it.” Su Zhanze lashed him several more times, each striking masterfully.

“Haha…” Longhun didn’t cry out in pain. To him, the whip felt as if it were scratching an itch.

Su Zhanze shouted, “If you dare to mess this up, I’ll make you pay.” Though he couldn’t be sure if what Longhun recited was correct, he had some basics to judge by the pattern on the Jade Ring.

“Write it, why wouldn’t I if you dare to learn? I’ll definitely write it,” Longhun suddenly realized it wasn’t worth antagonizing his captor. He believed the Dragon Slaying Clan would come looking for him; he wanted to live a little longer.

Su Zhanze suddenly turned and instructed the several people in front, “Hurry up and extract the Dark Beast from his body.”

One of the leaders said, “Don’t worry, I’ll get the Dark Beast out quickly.”

Suddenly, someone ran in, seemingly with something to tell Su Zhanze. Su Zhanze left with Ling Li.

The visitor was Chen Yu from the Immortal City Sect, originally a disciple of Su Hong, who owed Su Hong a life-saving debt. After becoming a disciple in Immortal City, he was grateful to Su’s family. Although Su Zhanze was misunderstood, during that time, Chen Yu still remained steadfastly by his side.

He was Su Zhanze’s undercover informant to learn about Immortal City.

Following behind, Ling Li already knew that Dragon Slayer Island had been breached. Although he had the Longhun in hand, he alone could not possibly restore the Dragon Slaying Clan, so he chose to cooperate with Su Zhanze. Su Zhanze promised him that he would certainly help him restore Dragon Slayer Island in the future.

Initially, Ling Li wanted to kill the Longhun, but he was persuaded by Su Zhanze not to do so.

Ling Li also wanted to obtain the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, but since the Longhun had already stated, it was presumed that the copied Secret Manual would not be genuine. He said, “We cannot trust what this person writes by memory.”

Chen Yu reported to Su Zhanze what had happened on Dragon Slayer Island, saying, “It’s confirmed, the Red Volume is in Ren Xiongbei’s hands, and the Black Volume is with Fang Ziren.”

What he referred to as the Red Volume and the Black Volume were indeed the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.

Ling Li, upon hearing this, said excitedly, “So, does that mean we can find a way to snatch the Red Volume and the Black Volume? We can’t rely on Longhun. Although he has agreed to write them down, who knows if this guy will pull any tricks.” Of course, he was aware that Longhun was not to be trusted.

Su Zhanze looked back and said, “You all hurry and remove the Dark Beast from him.” By extracting the Dark Beast and draining Longhun’s martial powers, he would then be able to kill Longhun. It seemed he truly could not count on Longhun to produce the genuine articles.

Chen Yu said, “They’ve already reached the shore, but I heard that Ren Xiongbei, plans to exchange volumes with Fang Ziren.”

Su Zhanze coldly stated, “That old man Ren Xiongbei will definitely make a copy first, otherwise he would never agree to an exchange.” He knew Ren Xiongbei all too well.

However, how to obtain the Red Volume and the Black Volume without exposing himself required careful planning. Although Ren Xiongbei’s martial arts were not highly advanced, he still had a large group of disciples and had possession of the Immortal Pearl, not to be underestimated.

It looked like another trip was in order. Suddenly turning to Ling Li, he said, “Ling Li, you are in charge here. Handle the Dark Beast. Everything else will wait until I return.”

“Don’t worry,” said Ling Li. Although he had come with four top experts, their forces were few, and they couldn’t possibly create an upheaval, especially with the current state of his martial arts. Therefore, he chose to collaborate with Su Zhanze, knowing that helping Su Zhanze reclaim the Immortal City Sect could one day enable Su Zhanze to help him obtain what he sought, including the coveted Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.

Gaining the Dragon Slayer Sword and capturing Longhun were results of their cooperation.

Dusk.

Ye Chen fell silent, sitting on the hillside, watching the few water birds on the lake, seemingly reluctant to have to leave them.

Footsteps approached from behind, and it was Yang Tao’er, holding something in her hand. Knowing he would leave the next day, she still felt concerned and said, “Here.”

Ye Chen, not knowing what it was, asked, “Is this a token of your affection for me?”

“Nonsense.”

Ye Chen received it and saw a box of silver needles, a book titled “Acupuncture Essence,” and a white bottle.

“What a pity, I was hoping it was a token of affection. It seems I’m disappointed, truly a pity.”

Yang Tao’er said, “Just use the acupuncture yourself, who knows, it might prolong your life. The last chapter is for making you faint. On the night of the full moon each month, have Li Mo seal those pressure points for you, it should keep you safe.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, seeing she had been very thoughtful. He said, “You might as well come with me then.”

“Ha, daydreaming, huh? You won’t even let Wan Danrong follow you, and you still try to deceive Guo Yuyun by faking your own death, so you want me to follow so you can strangle me? Do you even have a conscience?”

Ye Chen quickly said, “Nonsense, how could I ever want to strangle you? I can’t bear it. You’ve been helpful to me, and you might be able to help at some point, plus, I find that you and I make quite a charming couple.”

“Trying to fool me? No way.”

“Really, I’m not trying to fool you.”

“If you strangle me, you won’t feel sorry, so of course, you’re not afraid of me getting into trouble. You think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” Yang Tao’er said.

“Hey, how could that be? How could I think about strangling you? That’s impossible,” he rebutted.

Having stood up, Yang Tao’er said, “You better study that well, it will come in handy at the right moment. If you wait until you need it to read it, and something happens, you’ll be on your own.”

“Thank you, then,” he replied.

Yang Tao’er had already walked away, leaving Ye Chen there by himself. Flipping through a couple of pages, Ye Chen cursed inwardly; he admired anyone who could get through such material. It was a shame that all the illustrations were of men; why not use women instead? Truly a pity.

The sun grew redder and less blinding.

Red Demonic Spirit suddenly flashed, overjoyed from the previous night. Having obtained a body, he had become a normal person. How could he not be delighted? Even if he only lived for a year or so, he would be content.
