Chapter 985 - 985 971 Xuan Clan in Danger

Chapter 985: Chapter 971: Xuan Clan in Danger Chapter 985: Chapter 971: Xuan Clan in Danger The Sect Leader of New City Sect died at Sky Mountain, and word spread far and wide in an instant. The truth of the matter was uncertain, but since the news had already been disseminated, their claims appeared confident and compelling, leaving people no choice but to believe them.

However, to be on the safe side, Ye Chen altered his appearance, adding a pair of mustaches and dressing himself up to look middle-aged, because too many people in the Immortal and Demon realms recognized him. At this juncture, should he be recognized, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted?

He certainly did not want to attract unnecessary trouble.

Wandering through the woods for two days, a small city appeared ahead. Li Mo said, “Ling Bo is in the city.”

Ye Chen’s stomach started to rumble—he hadn’t eaten anything today but had heard some unsettling rumors. Whether they were true or not, he needed to find Ling Bo to confirm them.

Immortal City, Heavenly City, and Demon Palace City had all set their sights on Dragon Slayer Island.

In the battle beneath Demon Palace City, although Shangguan Heilin was killed, the second-in-command Teng Yun’e and the third, Ace Killer, had escaped. The responsibility of dealing with them was now in the hands of the Xuan Clan and the Nine Leaves Sect. Jiang Zhuge and the Withered Leaf Sect were to confront the Tianye Demon.

Having received timely information about the battle at Demon Palace City, the Tianye Demon did not linger in the valley but chose to flee to the Wuji Domain. Now his whereabouts were unknown, and Jiang Zhuge and the others planned to give up the pursuit.

There was a bustling inn with incessant flow of people coming and going, showing no signs of being affected by recent events. Yet, conversations about Dragon Slayer Island could still be heard; some said that the Qingxuan Sect Leader, Liu Yunzhi, was killed by Ren Xiongbei.

Ye Chen had just removed his disguise, and Li Mo was tending to the food—roast chicken, sweet and sour carp, and bighead carp soup, a full table’s worth.

Knock knock knock. The door to the room was rapped on authoritatively, with each knock louder than the last.

Li Mo quickly opened the door, and Kong Sha and Ling Bo entered.

Kong Sha said angrily, “Has everyone in this Immortal and Demon realm gone mad? Do they think this is New City Sect’s business alone? We’re trying to help them!” It turned out that the Xuan Clan and the Nine Leaves Sect were ambushed, and Kong Sha encountered Wan Shajiang’s men, planning to join forces to rescue the Xuan Clan and the Nine Leaves Sect, but they claimed to be too busy.

Li Mo, with a laugh, asked, “What’s the trouble?”

Kong Sha sat down, gulping down two cups of tea, as Ling Bo closed the door and Ye Chen looked on curiously.

Kong Sha said, “The Xuan Clan and Nine Leaves Sect are surrounded at Niu Manor. We ran into Ren Xiongbei’s men, who said they were too busy to help and told us to seek assistance from Wan Shajiang, the new Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect. But even Wan Shajiang said they were too busy. How could the people of the Immortal and Demon realm be like this, turning a blind eye to those in peril?”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo said, “You asked Ren Xiongbei for help? Of course, it’s impossible for him to agree. Don’t you know he’s holding the Red Volume of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual? Now he’s worried you might steal it, so of course, he said he’s too busy.”

“But why would Wan Shajiang also refuse?”

“He’s a sweet potato, a frivolous man, scared to death. If it wasn’t for Liu Yunzhi’s death leaving Qingxuan Sect leaderless, they never would have chosen him as the Sect Leader. You ask him to rescue someone with no benefit for him, of course he would refuse.”

Kong Sha snorted and said, “Now I fully understand, they are all irresponsible scoundrels.”

Hearing that the Xuan Clan was in danger, Ye Chen asked, “What’s this about the Xuan Clan and Nine Leaves Sect being surrounded? I didn’t hear about this yesterday.” He knew these two sects were tasked with hunting down Teng Yun’e and the others, and there hadn’t been any complaints about insufficient numbers. So how had they been suddenly surrounded? He was genuinely surprised.

Ling Bo hurriedly explained, “Here’s how it happened: somehow, Teng Yun’e joined forces with the Third Demon, Zun Yu, in secret. Teng Yun’e lured the Xuan Clan into Niu Manor, where they cooperated with the Third Demon’s forces and encircled them.”

“What? Weren’t Song Zheng’an and the others keeping an eye on the Third Demon’s forces?” asked Li Mo, confused.

“They’ve been thrown off their trail a long time ago,” Kong Sha replied.

With a gasp, Li Mo exclaimed, “Then the people of the Xuan Clan and Nine Leaves Sect are in grave danger.”

“That’s why I cursed Ren Xiongbei and Wan Shajiang for lacking responsibility! We wanted to help, but the more people we have, the better. Yet, they claimed they were too busy—I really wonder if those guys have any conscience,” Kong Sha said, shaking his head continually.

Ye Chen quickly asked, “So the Xuan Clan is in danger?”

Ling Bo answered, “They should be able to hold out, but if no one comes to their aid, they might be in some danger.”

“Is it far from here?” Ye Chen was rather worried about Xuan Si, that young lady, and Guan Yi was also a rare person of righteousness.

Ling Bo swiftly unfolded a map and said, “This is their location, but they’ve been corralled into one place. It won’t be easy for the enemy to swallow them up.”

“We can’t be careless,” Ye Chen said, glancing at the map and then calling out, “Let’s have dinner quickly, and once we’ve eaten, I’ll go with you.”

Ling Bo nodded in agreement.

Kong Sha said unhappily, “This is not something for our New City Sect to deal with. It’s as if we have to play both the father and the mother. It was bad enough that the issue with the Tianye Demon was handed to us, but now we are also burdened with Teng Yun’e’s affairs. They just think about going to Dragon Slayer Island to find the Dragon Slayer Sword and the secret manuals, completely ignoring the matters of the Central Plains. How can they do this?” He shook his head, unable to comprehend.

Li Mo chuckled, “It’s understandable. The current state of the Immortals and Demons world is different from before. I’ve always said they’re a bunch of selfish fellows.”

“Exactly, a bunch of selfish fellows,” Kong Sha felt like cursing.

Li Mo continued, “Aside from being selfish, they are also turncoats. The Sect Leader did so much for them and they issue a Wanted Order just like that. On the surface, it is written to eliminate evil for the people, to prevent future troubles, but in reality, it’s all for the Wolf King’s Ring.”

Hearing this, Kong Sha agreed with Li Mo’s words, raising his cup and said, “Indeed, they’re a bunch of incredibly selfish people. To achieve their goals, they stop at nothing, even going so far as to kill Liu Yunzhi. How are they any different from the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“They completely disregard why our Sect Leader has become like this. They are simply a bunch of ungrateful wretches,” Li Mo, who had never liked the people from the Immortals and Demons world, seemed to have caught on to the topic, definitely wanting to vent his complaints.

Ye Chen, however, was focusing on a map and asked, “How many assassins do we have?”

“We have two hundred,” Ling Bo replied.

Ye Chen made a rough judgement.

“I’ve told them to get there as quickly as possible. They know that with our help, they will certainly unite,” he said.

After Teng Yun’e escaped from the base of Demon Palace City, he didn’t know where to go. His leader, Shangguan Heilin, had already been killed. Having emerged from the Hell Tower of the Immortal City Sect, he had no home base and wandered around aimlessly—only to be targeted by the disciples of the Xuan Clan. At that time, people from the Demon Palace, Immortal City, and Heavenly City were planning to attack Dragon Slayer Island.

The task of eradicating them was given to the people of the Xuan Clan.

Teng Yun’e tried every means to evade them but just as he was about to succeed, he ran into Guan Yi of the Nine Leaves Sect. As a result, the people of Nine Leaves Sect teamed up with those from the Xuan Clan, leaving Teng Yun’e in such agony that he felt as if heaven and earth would not respond to his cries. When he was about to be surrounded, he encountered the followers of the Third Demon.

Ace Killer discussed with Teng Yun’e whether they could join forces against Zun Yu. In the heat of the moment, feeling humiliated like a dog that had lost its home, pursued by a gang of girls, Teng Yun’e, without a second thought, agreed to Ace Killer’s suggestion.

At that time, Zun Yu, who had limited manpower, felt it was viable to join forces, for it could help them. However, he suggested they join the Third Demon.

The desperate Teng Yun’e, only wishing to survive, couldn’t care less about the specifics and agreed, wanting to vent his frustration. Otherwise, his deep hatred would remain unappeased. He had to make the people of the Xuan Clan pay, which led to the plan at Niu Manor.

And sure enough, catching them off guard, he ambushed the people of the Xuan Clan and the Nine Leaves Sect at Niu Manor.

At this moment, Teng Yun’e was exhilarated. After being suppressed for more than ten days, he finally had the chance to deal with that group of girls.

Furious, Teng Yun’e declared, “I’m going to sell that group of girls to a brothel. The one who runs the fastest will become my wife.”

The one he referred to as the fastest was Xuan Si, who had been the most active during this time.

Zun Yu, having obtained a group of helpers not easily, now had around six hundred men at his disposal. He laughed and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to escape.”

“You have no idea how bad those girls are. They chased me to the point where I didn’t dare to even visit a latrine. I’ve never been so afraid of young women before,” Teng Yun’e spoke coldly.

“I can understand; when the New City Sect chased me back to the Central Plains, I felt the same way,” Zun Yu said.

“That’s why I cannot let them go,” Teng Yun’e insisted.

Ming Bei was a very cautious man. He knew that this was ultimately the Central Plains, and although the people from the Immortals and Demons world had scattered after the great battle on Dragon Slayer Island, searching for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual and neglecting everything else, it was hard to tell when some righteous person might come to aid the people of the Xuan Clan. Therefore, they had to act quickly and decisively to avoid trouble. “We must resolve this swiftly, as this is not our territory,” he said.

Zun Yu smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, the second-in-command. The followers of Jiang Zhuge have been led by the Tianye Demon to the Wuji Domain. The people from Demon Palace City have not returned yet. Immortal City and Heavenly City have obtained the Red Volume and the Black Volume respectively, and will not care about this matter.”

“That’s true, but there’s no guarantee that no one will interfere,” Ming Bei noted.

“Hmm, apart from the New City Sect, who likes to meddle in other’s affairs,” Zun Yu said.

Ace Killer, being a rather serious person himself, supported Ming Bei. Having narrowly avoided the fate of a homeless dog, he did not wish to waste time here. “Ming Bei is right. We should make it quick,” he stated.

“Alright then, let’s make it quick. How shall we do this?” Teng Yun’e questioned.
