Chapter 1196: Chapter 1182: Lying Dormant Chapter 1196: Chapter 1182: Lying Dormant A subordinate behind him, extrely surprised, murmured, “Could it be a fake? How did that kid get to the thirty-six islands? Do they have an acquaintance there?”
Longhun, after listening, was silent for a mont before he said, “There’s only one explanation. He also wants to get the help of the Sacred Spirit Stone to destroy the ring.” He knew the situation very well, as it was he who had caused Ye Chen to almost fall into devilnt. Who could be clearer about this than him?
The subordinate, puzzled, asked, “Can the Sacred Spirit Stone really destroy the Wolf King’s Ring and bring him back to normal?”
Longhun shook his head and said, “Who can be sure? But none of this is important, What I want is the Sacred Spirit Stone. If there really is a chance, do not let it slip by.”
The subordinate then said, “In that case, should we spread the word that the guy is on the thirty-six islands?”
Hearing this, Longhun coldly said, “Spread the word for what? Is now the ti to do that?” If it got out, the Sacred Spirit Stone would be exposed as well.
“Let them help deal with that kid, didn’t he kill a lot of people? If we tell the people of the Immortal Demon Realm, would they let him go?”
“Stop joking. Not many in the Immortal Demon Realm are decent folks. They’re even more purpose-driven than us. If the matter of the Sacred Spirit Stone leaks out, they would definitely bring a large group to fight for it.”
Longhun continued, “The affair of Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei serves as a good example. We threw out two secret manuals and they fought like cats and dogs, with a great number of them dying. For the ti being, don’t let the matter of the Sacred Spirit Stone leak out. I don’t want them to get involved yet, and we don’t even have a clear picture of the situation on Sacred Spirit Island.”
Mitra Monk said, “That’s right. We have to go there quietly, and take the opportunity to seize the Sacred Spirit Stone.”
“Of course,” thought Longhun as he made his plans.
During this period, Mo Ku was quite anxious. He said, “The leader has always been saying that we need to have a secret weapon; otherwise, we’re no match for those people from the Immortal Demon Realm. I think this is fate.” He knew that Longhun’s martial arts had been weakened since Su Zhanze removed the Dark Beast from his body, and at this ti, he desperately needed the Sacred Spirit Stone.
“Stop pondering. Otherwise, those guys will say that after I was defeated, I lost the will to compete. Now we can really play a big ga, and no one knows who will win.” He still rembered all the suffering he had endured and the thought of that terrible prison filled him with hatred, as well as the overbearing Su Zhanze.
What was that kid anyway? Just a pretty face with so luck. He would take back everything that belonged to him.
Mo Ku also got a bit excited, saying, “As long as we have the Sacred Spirit Stone, we can definitely make a coback.”
Having not been active for a long ti, Longhun also beca more excited.
“Right, have we still not found that girl?” Longhun asked, obviously referring to Shi Xueqin.
Mo Ku replied, “Hmm, she’s gone into hiding, probably doesn’t want us to find her.”
“That girl really,” Longhun was clearly a bit worried. Where else could she go? In the Central Plains, she’s a stranger without connections. Where could she possibly go?
Mo Ku said, “I will have them continue the search.”
But Longhun said, “Forget it, even if she’s found, she won’t co back. Maybe it’s better not to find her. Perhaps without encountering , she might be better off.”
Mo Ku didn’t say anything.
Longhun returned to business, saying, “Mitra Monk, keep on gathering information about the situation on the thirty-six islands. Tell imdiately if anything changes.”
“Don’t worry, I will find out as much as possible about what’s going on over there.” Mitra Monk added, “I think they won’t take action so soon; it takes ti to study the Sacred Spirit Stone.”
Longhun let out a cold laugh, “Well, we need ti to get to the thirty-six islands, too.” Looking at Mo Ku, he said, “Two ships must be prepared, without any delay. Get those guys moving too, don’t say I didn’t give them a chance.”
Mo Ku nodded and added, “If we’re going to the thirty-six islands, should we let ng Xiuluo know and bring her along?”
“Just inform her. Whether she wants to go or not, that’s up to her.” Longhun had Mo Ku go down to make preparations.
It wasn’t long before Mitra Monk also left.
And suddenly, Longhun was alone again.
This was a great opportunity, absolutely a great opportunity. If he could really obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would lay the foundation for his resurgence.
Of course, he knew it wouldn’t be easy; if it were, Qiandu Xiang wouldn’t have lost to Ouyang Yue and the others.
But, as Mitra Monk had inford him, the thirty-six islands seed to be in so chaos now. Chaos was good, the more chaos, the better. The more chaos, the more it ant that anything could happen.
He had to plan carefully now, or else they might really think he was already dead.
Fortunately, he had made so preparations during this ti. Although not as powerful as before, he hadn’t completely collapsed. At least he had survived, and surviving ant there was a chance.
There was nothing left to consider; it was ti to act. The timing couldn’t be better, and he was determined to get the Sacred Spirit Stone. Without it, all else was pointless.
Those two had really gone. They left without a trace, and Ye Chen could scarcely believe it was true. They had each gone their own way, and who could say when they’d et again.
Although he didn’t like partings, he had developed so feelings for the Red Demonic Spirit. It was a bond forged over ti. Without even a word of goodbye, they had boarded a ship and left. He only found out the next morning.
“That’s really not what buddies do, just dumping here on Immortal dicine Island like that, truly heartless,” Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Ah, this might just be reality, after all. Even the best of brothers and sisters, in the end, must go their separate ways, each forging their own path.
To be frank, there’s nothing wrong with having no burdens, after all, being free from worries.
But a thought surfaced in his mind. Now that those two had left, who would they go look for? Surely they wouldn’t actually go see Guo Yuyun, he hadn’t properly instructed them. He should have at least told them to present a big gift at Guo Yuyun’s wedding ceremony, otherwise, how would they justify themselves?
Ye Chen had these wild thoughts.
After the last ti he had drunk, he no longer asked for news about Demon Palace City. Without a source of agitation, naturally, he felt sowhat better. It wasn’t that he didn’t inquire, but Nangong Yan had forbidden Li Mo from telling Ye Chen any news.
Nangong Yan knew that at this ti, Ye Chen should least of all be affected.
Li Mo thought she was right. He should focus all his energy on important matters. The last ti Ye Chen drank, it truly frightened Li Mo. He definitely didn’t want a repeat, so he complied with Nangong Yan’s wishes and temporarily kept Ye Chen in the dark.
If he wanted to know, Li Mo would also consult first with Nangong Yan, confirming what could be told and what couldn’t, before speaking with Ye Chen.
Nangong Yao started to build a boat, saying that Shao Hengjiang would arrive in a few days to et up here first, and then they would head to Sacred Spirit Island.
After the last ti, when he had given those people from Lion Head Island a good beating, they beca much quieter and didn’t dare to be so brazen anymore. Knowing that the Sacred Spirit Stone was on Immortal dicine Island, they wouldn’t dare to co and steal it openly.
Tonight, Ye Chen knocked off work early. It wasn’t ti for dinner yet, and he was in the courtyard chatting with Little Hong.
Having talked with Li Mo, Little Hong had heard quite a bit about Ye Chen, and the more she heard, the more she felt he was a legendary figure. She also realized that the things he said last ti were not lies and felt a bit of sympathy for him.
Little Qing had vanished sowhere, probably too lonely and had gone out to find so boys to play with.
“I heard that last ti, you drank because back in the Central Plains, there was a girl getting married to soone else,” Little Hong said, trying to make conversation.
“Who’s making up stories there? How could I drink because a girl’s getting married?” He’d rather die than admit it, that would be too embarrassing.
“If it’s not true, then for whose sake did you go to ‘Jinye Pavilion’ to drink?”
That question caught the unprepared Ye Chen off guard. He replied, “I was there to experience life.”
“Experience life! You sure have a rich life experience.”
“I know, you look down on boys who go to places like that, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
“Going to Jinye Pavilion is nothing? People who go to such places, can they be any good?”
“You can’t say that. You can still find people to have a heart-to-heart chat with. Of course, so are looking for physical pleasures, but I definitely wouldn’t do that. I just had no one to talk to,” Ye Chen said truthfully.
“Why not talk with Nangong Yan? She surely wants to have a chat with you.”
Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said, “I was actually looking to talk to strangers.”
“You’re afraid of others knowing your secrets.”
Upon hearing that, Ye Chen chuckled coldly, “Here, do I still have secrets from you all?”
“It seems not really.”
Ye Chen took a sip of tea.
“But I can keep you company for a chat.”
“Heh, you just want to tell you everything so you can report straight back to your master, right?”
Little Hong quickly said, “No way, we are all very honest. How could I casually tell others about soone else’s matters without his permission?”
“It seems you’re quite curious about .”
“I am curious, I think you’re quite remarkable.”
“What do you an?”
“Even though you’re in love with her, to avoid putting her in danger, you lied about being dead. And before dying, you found her the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus. It’s enough to make one weep.”
“Really? So does that an you have so good feelings toward ?”
LIttle Hong tensed up and said, “No good feelings. Those who have good feelings for you would not co to any good end. I’m just curious.”
