Chapter 114: Chapter 109: A Whole New World (2)
The inhabitants of the Demon Domain knew that Lou Xuancheng was helping the people from Immortal City, yet Yin Jue still obeyed Gao Ba’s orders and decided to launch a surprise attack halfway through their journey.
They formulated a plan to lure away Lou Xuancheng’s n and then launch a fierce attack to rescue Wei Chiqing. However, they underestimated both Qiao Fanfeng and Lou Xuancheng. These two n had extensive worldly experience, and it would be impossible for Lou Xuancheng to be easily distracted. They quickly saw through the Demon Domain people’s sche and didn’t fall into their trap.
They unraveled their plot after only two hours had passed.
At that ti, they were joined by more disciples from Immortal City. They quickly disrupted the Demon Domain’s conspiracy, leaving Yin Jue with no choice but to abandon his plan under Jiu Jue’s advice.
Both Qiao Fanfeng and Yin Jue had a false alarm, and in the end, nothing happened. The people from the Demon Domain quickly fled the scene.
Qiao Fanfeng’s disciple, Li Bo, exclaid in astonishnt, “I didn’t expect the people from the Demon Domain to actually co and rescue Wei Chiqing.”
Another disciple, Fan Fei, said, “It seems that Wei Chiqing is really important to them.”
Qiao Fanfeng cald himself then said, “We must not let our guard down, you two pay attention, and stay cautious.”
“Master, do you think the people from the Demon Domain will return and launch another attack?” Fan Fei asked.
“I don’t know about that, but I know one thing for sure, we must take Wei Chiqing back to Immortal City. So many disciples from various domains died on Earth Demon Island, soone needs to be responsible. He is the initiator of the disaster, he must be punished accordingly,” Qiao Fanfeng replied.
Li Bo responded, “We will be more cautious.”
“As we are getting closer to Immortal City, we must be even more cautious; you never know when they might surprise us,” Qiao Fanfeng remarked.
At this mont, Lou Xuancheng returned.
“Junior Brother Lou, you’ve worked hard.”
“Heh heh, don’t say that.”
“Really, it’s a good thing that Senior Brother Guo sent you here. If you weren’t here, we would have been in a complete ss.”
“I didn’t expect the people from the Demon Domain to dare launch a sneak attack,” Lou Xuancheng said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Yes, I didn’t expect them to make such a plan either.”
“I think they failed this ti. They probably would not dare to attack again,” Lou Xuancheng speculated, “If we had known they would act like this, we could have outsmarted them at their own ga and probably captured them.”
Hearing this, Qiao Fanfeng chuckled and asked, “How are your subordinates? Did anyone get hurt?”
“Don’t worry, no one died, just a few disciples got injured.”
“Then you should get them dical help right away.”
“Mmm, rest assured, I have already sent them for treatnt,” Lou Xuancheng said and continued, “I have noticed that the people from the Evil Domain and the Demon Domain are becoming bolder. Last ti, the Evil Domain people attacked Immortal City. This ti, they’ve tried to kidnap people. They’re becoming increasingly audacious.”
“Mmm, yes, maybe we’ve been too relaxed, which has encouraged their audacity.”
“It’s been a long ti since sothing like this has happened. Perhaps, our complacency led to this predicant.”
“Mmm, indeed, after all, they have recuperated in the last decade and have beco much stronger than they were ten years ago.”
“How are you all holding up?”
“Mmm, our casualties are not nurous, don’t worry.”
“Alright then, there’s a small town up ahead; we shall rest there tonight.”
“Mmm, we also need to regroup there.”
Just as Yin Jue predicted, Qiao Fanfeng did put up a tough fight, and tricking him wouldn’t be easy. From this battle, so disciples died, but he managed to escape unscathed. Therefore, he thought he would be able to report this to Gao Ba later.
“They are very cautious; we had absolutely no opportunity,” said a disciple who tried to lure Lou Xuancheng away. However, he lacked the skill to do so. The fish seed cleverer than the fisherman himself. He added: “Leader, I’m sorry I could not lure Lou Xuancheng away; it’s my fault.”
Yin Jue responded, “You can’t bla yourself; he is like a wise old fox, and he maintains a high level of alertness. It’s not your fault.”
“So what do we do now? Should we organize another raid?” a disciple asked.
Jiu Jue shook his head and said, “No, we have already attacked once, which has put the people of Immortal City and Demon Palace on high alert. If we attack again, we might fall into their trap. Even if we don’t, given their heightened vigilance, it’s impossible for us to rescue anyone.”
Yin Jue nodded in agreent.
Soone asked, “So we are just going to give up like this?”
“We have no choice but to give up. Going further would only endanger ourselves, lead to more deaths and we can’t rescue Wei Chiqing anyway. The Demon King will understand,” Jiu Jue reasoned.
Yin Jue continued, “Let’s stop discussing this. We need to leave this place; I will explain the situation to Gao Ba later.” He was sure that he would have to give up — not that he wanted to, but because he knew it was impossible to save Wei Chiqing.
Jiu Jue added, “After a battle like this, they’ll surely be on guard. We’ve wasted such a good opportunity, and the next one will be even more cautious. I agree with Yin Jue, we need to leave this place as soon as possible. They might be looking for us. We can’t be trapped here.”
The people from the Demon Domain left and completely evacuated from the Central Plains.
The people of the Evil Domain have also left.
With Lou Xuancheng’s help, Qiao Fanfeng, who hasn’t been attacked again, returned to Immortal City.
Ye Chen had decided to leave the Central Plains and start anew in a place no one knew him. There were two reasons. He didn’t believe he could achieve nothing without the help of Immortal City and more importantly, staying in the Central Plains was indeed dangerous. He didn’t know when he might encounter people from the Demon Domain and the Evil Domain. He hated living in constant fear.
The Red Demonic Spirit proved resourceful and managed to acquire quite a lot of silver for him, enough for him to buy a house. Seeing so much silver, which he had never seen before, Ye Chen was overjoyed, feeling like a newly minted tycoon.
Ye Chen inquired and got a ticket from soone to head to the Wastelands with a caravan. They would set off from here tomorrow morning. Tonight, he could rest here.
Ye Chen, munching on roast chicken, hadn’t enjoyed such a sumptuous al in a long ti and said, “Silver really does the trick. Nothing beats having silver.”
In a room, he ordered a lot of delicious food, as if fearing that he might not have another chance to enjoy them.
“Don’t eat yourself to death.” The Red Demonic Spirit circled restlessly by the bed.
“Stop moving around, it’s like watching a python, quite frightening.” Ye Chen said.
“Snake? How dare you call
a snake! Without , would you have so much silver?” The Red Demonic Spirit transford into a faint human figure and went near the window, overlooking the street. He sat on a chair, acting like a human.
“Don’t scare the people on the street. They might think you’re a ghost.” Ye Chen glanced at him and continued, “Never mind the people down there. Even I know you, seeing your red figure is still a bit scary.”
Suddenly, it began to drizzle, although not heavy, it still forced the pedestrians on the street to take shelter under eaves.
“Is it raining?” Ye Chen rushed over when he heard the sound of the rainfall. He continued, “It seems the heavens are reluctant to let
go, so they are crying.”
“Blabbing about your ghost theory, you’re really full of yourself.”
“What are you looking at?” Ye Chen approached with a chicken leg in his hand.
Suddenly, the rain turned into a downpour.
“Why are you so stubborn about going to the Wastelands?” The Red Demonic Spirit had learned over the past few days that the Wastelands was a desolate place.
“Haven’t you known it already?” Ye Chen continued, “Don’t be scared before we even set out. Although the na ‘Wastelands’ gives the impression of desolation, it’s not actually that bad. If it were really that terrible, then how co so many people are heading there? There’s even a big city called Wasteland City.”
The Red Demonic Spirit turned back. At this point, so rainwater drifted in from outside. Ye Chen quickly went over to close one window, so that the rain wouldn’t float in.
The Red Demonic Spirit said: “You better morize the book in these few days.”
“morize what? I can’t even read the characters in that book, how am I supposed to morize it?”
“You need to morize it page by page, including those patterns.”
“To morize sothing, you need an image or a story. How can I morize anything with no story?”
“That’s your problem, just find a way to rember everything.”
“Can you rember everything?”
“Who needs to rember? I’m not practicing martial arts.”
Ye Chen snorted.
“I don’t have that much ti to teach you everything.”
“Got it, don’t worry. I’ll do as you say, okay?”
“Don’t just think about eating, spend more ti on important things.”
“People need to eat to have the energy to do other things.” Ye Chen continued, “We have so much silver that we couldn’t possibly spend it all on food. Even if we do run out, you can win us so more. We could even afford to hire so servants, make our life a bit easier.”
“To hire servants? To serve you?”
“Of course not, they would be serving you.”
“Thank you, but I think it’s better to serve you.”
“Well, whether you serve or not, it doesn’t really matter.”
“Ha-ha, ‘doesn’t matter?’ I am forcing you then?” The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “Ignoring my advice, planning to hire servants, and expecting
to keep winning silver for you.”
“If we were to open a betting booth, we’d surely make a fortune.”
“Stop daydreaming.” The Red Demonic Spirit added, “This talk of opening a betting booth…”
“Of course, I’m completely focused on the important things, that’s for certain.” The rain suddenly beca heavier. Ye Chen had no choice but to close all the windows and said, “This rain, so ill-natured. Why must it pour right now? I was hoping to take a walk down the street. We will be leaving tomorrow, and what’s coming next is the desolate wilderness. I feel a bit reluctant to leave. This heavy rain, I wonder if we can still set off tomorrow.”
“Are you still thinking about your Little Hua?”
