Chapter 138: Chapter 133: Red Demonic Spirit Making a Big Scene at Sky Lake Manor
At that mont, Gua Zhengnie seed slightly envious. He hadn’t expected Wei Sisan to be so popular. Even when people knew he was about to step down as the Alliance Leader and relocate, many still ca to visit him.
Soon to be Alliance Leader himself, Gua Zhengnie couldn’t be too arrogant. After all, it was only courteous to pay a visit. Otherwise, people might criticize him for being cold-blooded.
Gua Zhengnie asked, “Did my junior brother Zun Yu co?”
“He didn’t make it. Perhaps he’s not interested in this and therefore didn’t co,” Gui Lang answered.
“We must co. We can’t allow others to say we’re too excessive.”
“There’s nothing excessive about it. He has been Alliance Leader for many years. It’s your turn, Earth King.”
At this, Gua Zhengnie gave a slight smile.
Wei Sisan, together with Kong Sha and Jiang Zhuge, greeted the incoming visitors. Despite losing his position as Alliance Leader, the occasion was strangely celebratory. His subordinates didn’t seem to mind his loss of status.
There were many visitors. Even before it had gotten dark, Ye Chen was eyeing those across. The scent of roasting at wafted over, making him feel hungry. Seizing the opportunity when the crowd started to gather, he mingled among them and soon entered. They were very friendly.
Ye Chen was unfamiliar with the people around Third Demon. It was crucial he got to know them better, as they might cross paths again in the future.
There was plenty of food and the sky was gradually darkening.
If it was such a jubilant occasion, how could soone be critically ill?
When Gua Zhengnie arrived to greet Wei Sisan, Xiao Bai wasn’t very pleased. He saw Gua Zhengnie’s visit as a pretentious show-off. But, Wei Sisan didn’t seem to mind and warmly welcod him.
Gua Zhengnie also apologized, saying, “It is our fault that you had to move here.”
“It’s okay. It’s quieter here, and there’s a lake nearby. I can go fishing when I’m free.”
“Yes, it looks quite nice indeed. Rest assured, if you ever need our help in the future, we’re ready to go through fire and water.”
Xiao Bai gave a cold smile, “We have plenty of people. There won’t be anything that needs you to go through fire and water.” They still wanted to ddle in their affairs. In a few days, they wouldn’t be so happy.
“Co in and have so food. There are many guests today, I need to entertain them.” Wei Sisan didn’t engage long with Gua Zhengnie.
Gua Zhengnie had been sidelined abruptly.
Ye Chen walked in. The atmosphere here was solemn. He took a serious look at Wei Sisan, who didn’t look ill at all. If that was the case, he must have been forced to step down from the Alliance Leader position, not due to ill health. He carefully observed the interaction between Gua Zhengnie and Wei Sisan.
It further confird Wei Sisan’s calmness.
Later, he saw Zhi Lang Taoist Priest and Ming Qi.
The atmosphere was indeed different over here. None of these people showed unhappiness over losing the Alliance Leader position on their faces.
Sky Lake Manor had undergone so modifications and certainly looked different. It didn’t seem haunted anymore. Lanterns were everywhere, they gave a refreshing feeling. It felt different with all the lively people around.
After a while, Ye Chen felt bored and hungry again, so he left.
He wanted to take a good look inside and see how they had transford the haunted Sky Lake Manor in just a few days. It must’ve been an expensive renovation.
The people here were indeed serious, but the laughter that ca from behind suggested the presence of beautiful ladies.
Mu Wanlan was calling out at the entrance, “Ling’er, Brother Xiao Han is here. Aren’t you gonna co out?”
“I know, let
change my clothes first.” Wei Yiling, who was picking clothes inside, called back.
Ye Chen wandered quite far. It seed like they had put in a lot of effort. It was like a little garden with each courtyard having its own attractions. Intrigued by his curiosity, Ye Chen continued to move forward, until he heard a scream, “A python!”
Ye Chen didn’t think much of it and continued to walk forward, murmuring to himself, “This haunted place, seeing a python instead of a ghost is pretty good. It’s not surprising to find a python when the place had been uninhabited for so many years.” But soon, he stopped.
He wondered, could it be the thousand-year-old monster appearing? Because the monster looked like a python and he had been saying he wanted to co out. The monster was becoming more and more mischievous, often sneaking out. With so many people around, he couldn’t imagine the thousand-year-old monster staying alone.
Worried, he quickly headed towards where the scream ca from.
As he got closer, he saw a large group of mostly young people looking up at the treetop.
It seed like the so-called python was hiding up there.
More and more people were coming to this side.
A glance confird Ye Chen’s fear. It wasn’t a python, but the Red Demonic Spirit. That damn creature! What was it up to? The Red Demonic Spirit had already caused a stir in the Sky Lake Manor.
What to do now? If this went on and Wei Sisan along with others found out about it, it would be bad if the masters co over here.
Turns out, the Red Demonic Spirit had co, and was unintentionally discovered by a dog. The dog’s barks attracted people’s attention. A young girl spotted it first.
Soone was climbing the tree.
There were many lanterns here, making it as bright as the dayti. The Red Demonic Spirit realized it had been spotted and tried to escape to another courtyard along the treetops. But tonight, all courtyards were bustling, which only alard people from the other courtyards.
“It’s trying to escape.” Soone chased it into another courtyard.
Others were shouting, “It seems like it’s not a python.”
“It’s a python. I saw it, it’s red and about two to three yards long.”
Ye Chen followed pursuit, He reckoned that it would be difficult to escape effortlessly, especially under the glare of so many lanterns and the watchful scrutiny of multiple pairs of eyes, trying to hide wouldn’t feasible.
Already soone was crying out, “I’m going to inform the Alliance Leader.”
So martial arts practitioners, leveraging the light of the lanterns, focused on the Red Demonic Spirit, releasing a flood of flying darts. The Red Demonic Spirit seed to have been hit.
Soone said, “I’ve hit it.”
Every ti the Red Demonic Spirit arrived in a courtyard, it caused a stir. More and more people ca to know about it, and it seed to have been truly injured, which started to worry Ye Chen.
He arrived in another courtyard, where there was a solitary tree. He couldn’t possibly try escaping by maneuvering through the interconnected trees. People from the opposite side kept pouring in.
All of a sudden, Ye Chen releases dozens of lights with a gust of wind, extinguishing all the lanterns in the courtyard in an instant.
The courtyard imdiately fell into darkness. Ye Chen released a wave of energy, shouting, “The python has entered the room.” Most people were drawn towards the room that blasted open by the shout.
Ye Chen quickly signaled the Red Demonic Spirit and yelled, “Co down quickly!”
He took advantage of the darkness and flew up to a tree branch. The Red Demonic Spirit quickly rged into Ye Chen’s body.
Ye Chen quickly descended from the tree. He generated a black smoke towards the tree branches, creating a stir. More people poured in, and so even relit their lanterns. Ye Chen didn’t know if anyone had seen him take back the Red Demonic Spirit. However, he could not stay here for long and had to leave as soon as possible. If soone really saw him, it wouldn’t bode well for him. Wei Sisan who was on the opposite side had already brought so people, and asked, “Where is the python?” Ye Chen quickly slipped out of the courtyard.
In haste, Ye Chen watched his own back as he feared being followed, and kept conversing with the Red Demonic Spirit.
He bumped into a girl who was holding a long bamboo pole intending to catch the python.
Ye Chen helped her up.
The girl still shouted, “Don’t you look where you’re going?”
“You seem like you aren’t looking either,” Ye Chen said.
“Oh, it’s you?” Wan Lan imdiately recognized him: “How did you get in here? It really is a small world.”
Ye Chen smirked slightly and quickly let go of her.
“Hey, soone! Co, catch this lecher for .”
“Damn, bumped into another crazy woman.” Ye Chen ran off in a hurry.
“You’ve got a lot of nerve, daring to run into Sky Lake Manor.” Wan Lan shouted, “You guys, stop that young man in white, don’t let him leave, Ling’er wants to parade him around the streets.”
These remarks startled so people who imdiately blocked Ye Chen’s way. He quickly retracted.
The girl had already attracted around seventeen or eighteen people. They held weapons in their hands and closely followed Ye Chen.
“What did you do now? Why are you always provoking girls?” the Red Demonic Spirit asked angrily.
“It’s you who provokes girls, not .” Ye Chen continued maneuvering within the courtyards, but the number of people who arrived at Sky Lake Manor today were quite great. Lots of people could be seen coming and going, and most courtyards were very crowded.
“If you didn’t do anything, why is she calling you a lecher?” the Red Demonic Spirit argued.
“It’s all due to your ‘good deeds’.” The main entrance was already blocked, so what should he do now? The girl was getting closer, and more and more people were searching for him. If this continued, he would soon be surrounded. He had to find a place to hide. He couldn’t be running around like a headless fly any longer.
Suddenly, he was blocked on a path with people approaching from both ends. Ye Chen quickly vaulted over the wall.
What kind of place is this? Big red lanterns hung everywhere, casting a crimson glow around, and the tranquility felt as if the place was cut off from the world. The courtyard housed an artificial hill and a stream, and although there were no people around, people could be heard saying behind the walls, “It seems like he vaulted over the wall.”
Wei Wanlan was startled. That was Yiling’s courtyard, and she imdiately led people over in a hurry.
Hearing the conversation outside, Ye Chen knew that they would be entering soon. It was not feasible to exit, he would definitely be blocked back. He needed to find a place to hide, especially since he was carrying Red Demonic Spirit.
The tramping footsteps were getting closer.
Ye Chen saw a half-open window. With a light leaping horse, he jumped into the room from the window. The window was quickly obscured.
There was already a voice coming from the other side, “Ling’er, are you inside?”
“Yes!” The girl inside was humming and preparing to change clothes, completely unaware of the chaos outside.
Ye Chen was surprised, sohow, he hadn’t noticed anyone in the room.
It was a suite of interlinked rooms.
“Has anyone suspicious co in?”
“No!”
“Are you still changing your clothes?”
“I’ll be done shortly.”
“Well, you better hurry up.”
