Chapter 881: Chapter 867: According to Plan Chapter 881: Chapter 867: According to Plan Guo Yuyun was still very worried and said, “Let Ling Bo go with you too.”
“It’s better for him to stay here to help your father. Without him, I’m afraid the disciples of our New City Sect would be left to fend for themselves. I’m taking the Red Demonic Spirit with , what else do you have to worry about?” Ye Chen replied.
“Just rember to be careful, no matter what.”
“Don’t worry, a fortune-teller said I could live to a ripe old age.”
“Don’t joke around like that, be serious.”
“I’m definitely serious, very serious. This is about my own life after all.”
“Don’t think everything will be fine just because you believe your abilities are unmatched.”
“I know. With Fang Ziren and the others to help , nothing will go wrong. Don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of the matter quickly, and as soon as it’s done, I’ll hurry back, I promise.” Ye Chen said a lot of nice things to reassure Guo Yuyun.
Guo Yuyun had no other option. Being unable to leave herself, she could only accept the situation.
Returning, he saw Li Mo and then Ling Bo. Ling Bo was shocked upon hearing the news, as if he was dreaming and couldn’t believe it was all real.
Li Mo said, “If that’s the case, we must send a pigeon ssage to Jiang Zhuge and the others imdiately to get them prepared.”
“We do need to send them a pigeon ssage,” Ye Chen continued, “Let Ling Bo handle the pigeon ssages to them. He’ll stay behind to help the people of Demon Palace City deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
Ling Bo nodded.
“Hey, don’t worry. I’ll be eting up with Fang Ziren and the others, and we’ll have over five or six hundred people. That’s enough to handle it. Wait for to return. You all need to be careful too. Longhun (Dragon Soul) didn’t go on a rampage today because he wanted to let his n rest. Maybe they’ll resu their slaughter tomorrow, and by then, you mustn’t fall for their trap.”
Ling Bo then said, “If only I could take your place.”
“Hey, this matter is important and might be dangerous. That’s why Elder Guo entrusted it to .” Ye Chen was willing to take risks, akin to going into the tiger’s den.
“Understood. I realize the importance. Of course, I do.”
“Rest assured, dealing with them is just a matter of placing another Seal. I’ll be back very soon.” Ye Chen then turned to Li Mo and said, “Li Mo, it will still be the twenty or so of us, setting off at midnight.”
“Not waiting until tomorrow morning?”
“We’ll figure out a way to rest on the road. We can’t let them open any other Sealed Doors in Hell Tower.”
Li Mo hurriedly went to prepare.
Then it quieted down all at once.
Ye Chen said, “Everyone be careful. I hope we can all get through this safely.”
Ling Bo went down to send the pigeon ssage to Jiang Zhuge and the others.
In the yard, only Guo Yuyun and Xuan Si were left, and Xuan Si had just found out what had happened.
Xuan Si didn’t know what to say and could only comnt, “You two talk. I won’t disturb you.”
Ye Chen stopped Xuan Si and said, “Girl, help out Yun’er when the ti cos. Work together if anything happens.”
“I know, you don’t need to tell .” Xuan Si had already walked out of the courtyard.
Now only Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun were left.
Guo Yuyun was visibly upset, probably worried, but unsure of what to do, her anxiety showing. Ye Chen gave a slight smile.
“Should we have a farewell kiss then?”
“You’re always joking.”
Ye Chen sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, “I really should leave the Red Demonic Spirit with you.” He still felt the Red Demonic Spirit would be safer with her.
“You take it. Nothing will happen to in the city.”
“I don’t know if Longhun has any other plans, but you all must be careful and cautious.”
“I know. You just take care of your own matters.”
“Of course.”
“Why don’t you leave tomorrow morning instead?”
“What if I stayed and spent tonight with you, and then left tomorrow morning?”
“Don’t joke about it here. Are you really planning to not rest tonight?”
“Ah, how can I not rest? By the ti we reach the foot of the mountain, it will be the third watch. We’ll still have ti to prepare the horses for tomorrow morning, get so sleep, then set off. If you leave tomorrow morning, you’ll have to prepare the horses and food; at least it would delay us until noon, wasting much ti. Plus, descending the mountain at night makes us less likely to be discovered.” Ye Chen explained, looking at Guo Yuyun with her sparkling eyes, smiling, “What’s wrong? Can’t bear to see leave?”
Guo Yuyun snorted indignantly.
“Don’t worry, this is all a piece of cake. I’ll be back soon.” Ye Chen stood up and said, “I need to pack up.”
“What clothes do you have to pick up anyway?”
“True, I don’t really have much to pick from.” Ye Chen walked around the room, and soon heard Li Mo calling from outside. He replied, “Got it, coming out.”
Guo Yuyun followed him out, reluctant to let him go.
“Ah, don’t look so glum, I didn’t really run off with so girl.”
Li Mo gave a slight smile.
“Hey, it’s made a bit reluctant to leave. Co here, give a hug.”
But then Guo Mingyu’s voice ca through, and Ye Chen paused before saying, “Let’s save the hug for when I get back.”
Guo Yuyun had already co over for the hug.
Just as Guo Mingyu walked in and saw this, Ye Chen’s face turned sowhat red, not knowing what to say. That girl really knew how to pick her monts.
It was with great difficulty that he finally got her to let go.
“Alright, I really have to go down the mountain now,” Ye Chen said.
Guo Yuyun reluctantly released her hold.
Ye Chen hurried over to greet Guo Mingyu.
Guo Mingyu said, “Be careful, and send a pigeon if anything cos up.”
“Yeah, I understand. You all be careful too. I don’t know if Dragon Soul has any other tricks up his sleeve, but we mustn’t be complacent,” Ye Chen didn’t know what else he could say.
“Let’s hope nothing happens.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Lou Xuancheng had already co over, and Li Mo had brought his dozen or so subordinates.
“Well, no point in babbling on, that’s that. Everyone, take care.” Ye Chen walked out of the courtyard, with Guo Yuyun closely following behind him.
Towards the secret tunnel’s entrance, they went.
Before they knew it, it beca the middle of the night.
They chatted idly about this and that, but there really wasn’t much to say—they’d already made all the plans and said their goodbyes.
Ye Chen went down the mountain, taking Li Mo and the others with him.
Li Mo said, “I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.”
“Of course, it won’t be easy. If it were, we’d leave it to soone else.”
“True. If there were no difficulties, we could’ve just sent Fang Ziren and the others. Why would the Sect Leader need to get involved?” Li Mo thought to himself.
Ye Chen said, “Right now, we don’t know what’s waiting for us. But one thing is clear: we must complete this mission. If we can’t, and the Dragon Slaying Clan manages to open more Sealed Doors, many more will lose their lives.”
In the pitch blackness, they had arrived at Unnad City by the third watch.
The Dragon Slaying Clan people had stayed in Unnad City for a day before going up the mountain. Surprisingly, Unnad City seed unaffected, which Li Mo found unexpected. “Dragon Soul is ruthless; we know this. But he didn’t destroy Unnad City, which is rather surprising.”
“Destroying Unnad City and causing panic is pointless. They’re not here to show the people of the Immortal Demon Realm how bad they are—that’s aningless. What they want is to defeat the people of the Immortal Demon Realm and seize control.”
The streets were deserted, but Guo Mingyu had sent a pigeon early to Unnad City, arranging for them to rest at the inn tonight. Although the Dragon Slaying Clan people were around, no one paid them any attention in the dead of night.
They slipped into the inn, and Ye Chen yawned, “I can’t go on. I need to sleep and talk about anything else tomorrow.” He then went to his room as the people of Unnad City were deep in sleep.
The night passed without incident.
Dragon Soul showed up personally the next day but quickly retreated. He wanted to see if things turned out as he expected—and sure enough, Ye Chen didn’t show.
Following behind Dragon Soul, Shi Xueqin spoke, “Does this an Ye Chen has already headed for Immortal City?”
“Most likely,” replied Dragon Soul.
Jing Po added, “If that’s the case, everything is proceeding according to the Young Master’s plan.”
“Send a pigeon to Elder Xi Feng, tell him the Sect Leader of New City Sect has headed to Immortal City with people. Have him prepare,” Dragon Soul instructed.
“I’ll send a pigeon to Elder Xi Feng right now,” Jing Po quickly left to carry out the task.
Shi Xueqin then said, “Brother Longhun, you can rest easy now.”
With the Sect Leader of New City Sect gone, and New City Sect’s disciples blocked, he indeed felt relieved, but he still needed to rely on himself to find a way to breach Demon Palace City without further delay.
Just then, Mitra Monk and a few odd-looking n approached.
Mitra Monk inquired, “Young Master, do you have any instructions for us?”
Dragon Soul looked at the odd-looking n and asked, “Are you sure that with helpers inside the city, we can make their system fail?”
One of the leaders among the strangers responded, “Yes, I guarantee that if we have people inside helping us, we can cause a brief system failure.”
Upon hearing this, Mitra Monk asked, “Does the Young Master have a way to make their system fail?”
“I’m not completely sure, but I still want to try,” said Dragon Soul.
“But who could help us?”
Dragon Soul then dismissed the strangers.
