Chapter 1449: Chapter 1435: A Woman Chapter 1449: Chapter 1435: A Woman When Su Zhanze saw Ling Li, he did not ask him about how he was planning to capture Longhun next, but instead inquired, “Where’s that woman?”
“What woman.” Ling Li feigned ignorance.
“The one called Shi Xueqin, who was holding a child.”
Ling Li looked over in surprise and asked, “What does the leader want to do?”
It seed he really was infatuated. Su Zhanze said, “That woman let Longhun escape, almost got both you and killed.”
“I know, but she is innocent, and she is a defenseless woman who poses no threat to us. If we capture Longhun this ti, I guarantee that what happened before will not happen again.”
“Spare your nonsense. I see you have no idea what dangers we are in.”
“Dangers?”
“The Wastelands, the Thirty-Six Islands, and the Demon Domain might team up against us at any ti. You can’t be completely unaware, can you?”
“What does this have to do with her?”
“I want to use her against Longhun, I must make the Dragon Slaying Clan leaderless as quickly as possible and completely eradicate this threat.”
Ling Li understood—Su Zhanze wanted to use Shi Xueqin to deal with Longhun.
“What are you looking at? You think I’m bluffing, don’t you? I have no ti to waste with you. If you want to secure your position on the Hundred and Eight Islands, Longhun must be dealt with. He is the spiritual pillar of the Dragon Slaying Clan. Only by getting rid of him can you be truly at ease. Do you understand?” Su Zhanze surveyed his surroundings.
Ling Li started to worry and asked, “You’re not going to kill her, are you?”
“As long as Longhun shows up, I won’t harm her. Once we catch Longhun, I’ll return her to you.”
Ling Li’s eyes widened as he said, “But if Longhun doesn’t show up, you might actually kill her, mightn’t you?”
Su Zhanze snapped angrily, “Boy, clear your head, will you? Do you realize our situation? We have to deal with Longhun as soon as possible. Don’t think we have the upper hand right now. If the Wastelands, the Thirty-Six Islands, and the Demon Domain band together, everything we have will disappear like a mirage. Do you get it? You think that with the Sacred Spirit Stone in my hands, everything will work out. Don’t celebrate too soon.”
“I will definitely capture Longhun, just trust .” Ling Li was genuinely worried that Su Zhanze might kill Shi Xueqin because of Longhun.
“Won are di a dozen, but if you don’t firmly consolidate what you have right now, it can vanish at any mont.”
“I swear, I will personally capture Longhun.”
Su Zhanze wasn’t buying any of it. In the anti, from the tent over there, several people erged. During the conversation between Ling Li and Su Zhanze, Chen Yu had already taken action. By now, they had captured Shi Xueqin, who was holding the child, and brought her out of the tent.
Ling Li was shocked and cried out, “Don’t!”
“Relax, you trust . Longhun will surely co obediently to et his death. Your beloved won’t be hard.”
Ling Li was left speechless.
“If you want to stay in power on Dragon Slayer Island, how can you remain calm without killing Longhun?”
Ling Li just stared at Su Zhanze.
“You’re not planning to fight to the death over a woman, are you? Think carefully.”
Ling Li didn’t respond.
“Think it over well. Don’t worry, as long as Longhun surrenders, I won’t ss with a woman and a child. After killing Longhun, I’ll return her to you imdiately. A girl poses no threat to , why would I kill her? I’m not an executioner.”
Although Ling Li was displeased, he had nothing to say.
“I know you are confident about catching Longhun, but Longhun is many tis smarter than either of us. Who can be sure that he won’t escape? Now we have a way to make him fall into the trap himself, so why not use it? Besides, we are still taking other risks. We must resolve the Longhun problem quickly.”
Chen Yu also said a few kind words, “Once Longhun is killed, we can join forces in the future to annihilate the Demon Domain, the Wastelands, and the Thirty-Six Islands. Both the Hundred and Eight Islands and the Thirty-Six Islands would be yours, do you realize that!”
Ling Li couldn’t care less about that.
“Enough, you’re just temporarily overwheld, and I can understand that.” Without waiting for Ling Li’s reply, Su Zhanze seed to have said enough. If the other party didn’t co to his senses, there was nothing he could do. He turned to Chen Yu and commanded, “All right, take her away.”
Ling Li could only watch helplessly as Shi Xueqin was taken away.
He was certainly very angry, but he knew he was no match for Su Zhanze, who also carried the Dragon Slayer Sword with him. With just one swing of the Dragon Slayer Sword, he had slaughtered over a hundred of Ren Haotian’s n. That guy was utterly ruthless; he would definitely not leave a living path for anyone who posed a threat to him.
The sudden arrival of Su Zhanze, snatching people with lightning speed, caught him completely unprepared, leaving him no choice but to suppress the flas of rage in his heart.
Night fell, and Longhun’s face was rather pale, but fortunately, he managed to escape with over three hundred people, evading the encirclent and a disaster.
Then soone ran over to tell him that Shi Xueqin had been captured. Hearing such news, how could Longhun not explode with anger, he shouted, “Damn Elder Xi Feng, I told him to protect her, what is that guy good for?” It was because he trusted Elder Xi Feng to be reliable that Longhun had given him the task of protecting Shi Xueqin.
Then Mo Ku ca over to tell him, “Elder Xi Feng is dead.”
Longhun couldn’t believe it and turned around, murmuring, “Elder Xi Feng is dead.”
“Yes, it’s because he faced death without fear that he created an opening in the encirclent for us.”
At this ti, it was clearly unreasonable for Longhun to bla Elder Xi Feng, so he asked, “Then who took her away?”
The ssenger, a subordinate of Elder Xi Feng, said, “We saw it clearly, it was Ling Li who took Shi Xueqin.”
Mo Ku knew that Ling Li was deeply in love with Shi Xueqin and said, “If Shi Xueqin is in Ling Li’s hands, then she should be safe; the leader needn’t worry about her.”
Suddenly another subordinate rushed in, holding a letter, and said, “This is a letter from Su Zhanze to the leader.”
“That guy has the mood to write a letter?” Longhun snatched the letter, eager to see what it contained.
But to his shock, the letter stated that Shi Xueqin and the newly born child were in his hands and demanded his imdiate surrender; otherwise, he would kill both Shi Xueqin and his child.
Longhun read it and roared, “Damn Su Zhanze, what kind of hero is he, using a woman and a child to blackmail .”
Mo Ku picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground and, realizing what had happened, urgently said, “Leader, you can’t go, walking right into the trap! If Su Zhanze captures you, he’s surely going to kill you.”
Longhun instantly clutched his head.
Mo Ku continued, “I believe Ling Li will protect Shi Xueqin and the child.”
“If he could protect them, we wouldn’t have received such a letter,” Longhun said, smashing his palm against a tree in intense anger; it was clear how furious he was.
“But I still feel that he would not kill Shi Xueqin; Ling Li likes her so much, he would certainly do everything possible to protect her.”
“Even if he succeeds, he won’t be able to protect the child,” Longhun said, his despair reaching its peak as he called out, “Everyone out, give so peace.”
Mo Ku had never seen Longhun like this before, always composed even when deeply surrounded, as if nothing had happened.
Mo Ku had no choice but to call his subordinates to follow him out.
Longhun indeed needed to think seriously now; the tide had clearly turned against him. Elder Xi Feng was already dead, the Demon Clan’s people were the first to give up, Baili He went in search of his own way out, and Old Du’s life and death were unknown.
All he now had were these people, who were on the verge of collapse. anwhile, he was severely injured, and the Sacred Spirit Stone had fallen into Su Zhanze’s hands.
This ti Su Zhanze was definitely not going to let him live; it was said that just two days ago, Ren Haotian had been killed by Su Zhanze.
The three people Su Zhanze hated the most: Ye Chen went mad with obsession, Ren Haotian was killed, leaving only him now.
Based on his understanding of Su Zhanze, Su Zhanze indeed had the capacity to say sothing and follow through with it. Ling Li was just a coward; how could he possibly save Shi Xueqin and the child? He wouldn’t dare to oppose Su Zhanze.
It was he who had made Su Zhanze what he was today, so Su Zhanze would certainly not rest until he was killed.
The letter had been sent, and it was undoubtedly written by Su Zhanze himself, definitely not an idle threat. If he dared say it, he would surely do it. If he failed to show, Su Zhanze would certainly kill the child, and if the child died, could Shi Xueqin survive? Impossible, based on his understanding of her.
The child was more important than anything; that was all her concern. He suspected that a good reason why Shi Xueqin had saved him previously was that she knew she was carrying his child. If the child died, Shi Xueqin would have nothing left, losing her only pillar of support, leading to imdiate collapse.
How could he just live on, disregarding Shi Xueqin and the child?
Longhun had always felt guilty towards that girl, indebted to her.
Indeed, he had killed her father, yet she had saved him.
How could he let a girl face all this alone?
In fact, he liked that girl, although he was reluctant to admit it and had sworn never to let anyone influence his actions, but this girl had indeed made his heart flutter once again.
Looking at the few people left outside and feeling the tide had turned against him, to turn things around, without the Sacred Spirit Stone, when would it be, if he could ever lead them to escape and survive, it was all uncertain.
