Chapter 450: Chapter 436: The Eve of the Decisive Battle in Demon Palace City
Ye Chen couldn’t recall, and asked curiously, “Did I say that?”
Yu Qing thought for a mont and said, “I don’t rember, but you used to be so positive, you let
be my real self, I feel those words were right.”
“So many years have passed, maybe I did say so, but I might have forgotten.”
“I didn’t forget, those right words, they’ll always be right, I’ll rember them for life,” Yu Qing said.
Ye Chen bowed his head, looking at the river under the bridge. The fallen leaves were just like tiny flat boats, continuously drifting downstream.
“Let bygones be bygones. Isn’t it good for everyone to be happy?”
Ye Chen, like a chastised child, nodded slightly.
“Don’t think I said these things only because of Yun’er. Of course, I hope you treat him well and wish her happiness. But I don’t want you to be unhappy because of past entanglents.”
“I’m doing well, I’m not unhappy.”
“Of course, I believe you’re a smart child. There’s nothing you don’t understand as long as you can let go, what can trap you?”
Ye Chen slightly laughed it off.
“You must think I sound like a nagging woman,” Yu Qing said.
Ye Chen quickly denied, saying, “No.”
“It doesn’t matter if you think so, I am definitely a woman now.”
“Heh, I really don’t think so.”
“That’s not a problem either.”
Ye Chen chuckled a little.
“So many things have happened recently.”
“Yes indeed!”
“But everything is fine, which is comforting.”
“Is Zhan Ze treating you well?” This question seed sowhat aningless.
“It’s okay. But I also hope to see you settled down, finding soone who treats you well, that would make
very happy.”
There were so people coming towards them. Yu Qing saw them and hurriedly said, “I won’t keep you anymore, I’ll chat with you when I have ti. I need to go.”
“Okay.”
“Be more open-minded, nothing is insurmountable,” Yu Qing then said, “and be nice to my sister.”
Ye Chen didn’t know how to be nice to her. As he sat in the pavilion, not moving, it appeared that everyone believed sothing had occurred between him and her sister. Well, what could he do? He decided to set aside everything and deal with the current matter first.
The mont the Dragon Slaying Clan arrived, the entire Demon Palace City buzzed with nervous anticipation. The Mutant Winged Dragon led not only the Dragon Slaying Clan but also countless flying dragons and terrifying creatures arrived, monstrous in size and ferocity, with long pointed teeth and gaping maws.
Many people were perched on the city wall watching.
Lou Xuancheng ran over, shouting, “If you all have nothing better to do, take a sword and defend the city wall.”
Frightened, the won ran off.
As the Dragon Slaying Clan arrived, the alarm bell rang in Demon Palace City, causing the atmosphere inside the city to beco sowhat stifling.
There was a palpable tension in the air.
Confronted by the surging Dragon Slaying Clan.
The tense atmosphere escalated once again.
However, they didn’t attack imdiately.
Perhaps they wanted the inhabitants of the city to panic first.
Mutant Winged Dragon had already made arrangents with the demonic forces, according to which, he returned the Black Demonic Spirit to Gao Ba. With various concessions, Sheng Kong also agreed. They decided to attack the next morning, giving them ti to prepare and rest.
Mutant Winged Dragon wasn’t in a hurry. He believed the apprehensive ones were the people inside the city.
Ye Chen remained in the courtyard, not heading upfront to watch, but he was more nervous than anyone else.
Soon, Guo Mingyu and Qiao Fanfeng gathered all the leaders to discuss how to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan.
Most of the plan had already been discussed a few days earlier, and it hadn’t changed. They were to defend the pagoda in Demon Palace City and its defense system from being destroyed by the Mutant Winged Dragon.
They planned to use the Dragon Slaying Array to counter the Mutant Winged Dragon and the Dragon Slayer Sword in his possession.
The next step was to assign defenders to various positions. This had all been arranged during these few days.
Guo Mingyu glanced around. The atmosphere was sowhat gloomy. He said, “We have prepared everything we could. I know you are all scared, and I too am scared. Because this concerns the entire Immortal-Demon world. If we lose, the Immortal-Demon world will fall into the hands of the Mutant Winged Dragon. There will be no more Immortal-Demon world.
But fear can never solve a problem. We have no way out. I know so of you are doubting if we can defeat them.
But I don’t think like that anymore because that’s aningless. Even if there’s only one disciple left in the Demon Palace City, we will fight to the end because we know what we’re doing, and we understand the significance of our actions.
Would there be any good if we allow that great demon to take over the Central Plains? So I’m determined. I’ll fight them to the end. If my death can bring about the defeat of the Dragon Slaying Clan, I’d gladly give up my life.”
When Qiao Fanfeng saw what Guo Mingyu had said, he added, “Do you think that if we surrender, the Mutant Winged Dragon will spare us? That’s not possible.
You all know what happened in Wasteland city, Immortal city, and Heavenly city, right? If we lose, we will die. If we survive, we will beco their slaves.
People of Immortal-Devil world have their integrity. Who would want to cling to life at the expense of dignity? I know I wouldn’t. I will fight them with everything I have, including my life.”
With both leaders voicing these thoughts, it gave the crowd a clear signal – it’s either life together or death together. There’s no way out. They needed the Immortal-Demon world to realize how they must choose. It was a crucial mont. If anyone showed cowardice now, it could trigger a chain reaction. They had to instill determination in these people.
Fang Ziren said, “Enough, stop. I, Fang Ziren, am now holess. The disciples of Heavenly City Sect will fight the Dragon Slaying Clan to the bitter end.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunzhi imdiately thought of Wan Shatong and said, “The Qingxuan Sect has decided to fight against the Dragon Slaying Clan to the death.”
The atmosphere inside imdiately beca more active. Most importantly, they clearly understood that there’s no turning back.
This is crucial for Guo Mingyu and the others. If there’s hesitation even before the battle begins, the dangers this fear poses are all too clear to him. Power is indeed important, but the importance of willpower should not be overlooked either.
Especially now, he had already thought that, if it cos to it and there are no other options, he would initiate the self-destruct chanism of Demon Palace City. He would rather die with the Dragon Slaying Clan than allow them to rule over the mankind.
“We must work together. I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we can defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan. We managed to defeat them eighteen years ago, and eighteen years later, we can defeat them again.” Qiao Fanfeng added fuel to the fire.
Guo Mingyu took a deep breath. Looking at the grim-faced crowd, he seed to have found a direction towards the light.
Until they dispersed, only Guo Mingyu, Qiao Fanfeng, Ye Chen, and a few others were left in the main hall.
Guo Mingyu said, “Did I speak too passionately?”
Qiao Fanfeng smiled slightly, “No. Your words were very tily. They have dispelled the fears in the hearts of those who had doubts.”
Ye Chen sat quietly.
Guo Mingyu asked, “Ye Chen, do you have anything to say?”
“I think, the Mutant Winged Dragon from the Dragon Slaying Clan, he will definitely find a way to break our defense system.”
Guo Mingyu nodded, “Yes. As long as the defense system is active, we can rely on it. It’s our armor, and it’s an armor with thorns. Apart from draining them massively, it can also injure them.”
Fang Ziren then asked, “But can your Dragon Slaying Array really contend against the Mutant Winged Dragon?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Fanfeng said, “We have basically fused together. For now, this is all we can do. We can’t tell yet if it could resist the Mutant Winged Dragon, but we can tell you that we are fully prepared.”
“Alright, what else is there to say? We just fight them. Who’s going to back down?”
After taking a sip of strong tea, Guo Mingyu asked, “Lou Xuancheng, how are the preparations?”
“Everything is already in place, and there’s a backup plan as well. If needed, we can adjust the strategy anyti.”
Guo Mingyu looked at Xiongbei and said, “Brother Xiongbei, tomorrow’s defense of the city will depend on you, Fang Ziren, and Lou Xuancheng.”
“Don’t say that. Whatever I can do, I will surely put up my best fight. You just focus on facing the Mutant Winged Dragon with your combined forces.”
Lou Xuancheng said, “I see that so of our disciples have a looming sense of uncertainty. Should we establish so strict rules?”
Xiongbei said, “I’ll do it. I’ll play the bad cop. I won’t allow any hesitation.” he also wanted to prove himself.
Guo Mingyu said, “Alright, I’ll leave the frontline to you, to defend the Demon Palace City.”
“Okay, I also want to see if having the Dragon Slayer Sword is enough for them to wipe out mankind from the Immortal-Demon world.”
“Tomorrow, we will see. Let’s see how it goes.” Guo Mingyu believes that the Dragon Slaying Clan will launch an attack tomorrow.
The eting was dismissed, but Ye Chen didn’t imdiately return to his courtyard but headed to the Books and Records Hall instead. Surprisingly, the lanterns in the hall were still lit even though he told Yu Yun not to go looking in the hall today.
Upon inquiry, he found out that it was indeed Yu Yun still inside.
Ye Chen entered the hall. Despite the lanterns, it felt sowhat dark. He saw the girl, the maid, huddled in a pile of books, sitting on the floor surrounded by gray books. It looked like a book pit which was about to swallow her.
