Chapter 507: Chapter 493: Different Abilities
When ng Xiuluo brought up the idea of a sche, Jing Po expressed skepticism, “Really? If all this is a cunning plan, that guy is really incredible.”
ng Xiuluo remarked, “It’s hard to say. Everyone in the Wastelands knows what kind of person Gua Zhengnie is. His palace has been destroyed, his woman is dead. There’s no way he wouldn’t want revenge. Even if we close our eyes we can see this, Ye Chen must have thought of it too. He must be prepared. Maybe he has already started setting a trap, just waiting for them to fall into it.”
Jing Po hesitated, then suggested: “If that’s the case, it’s truly amazing. I still find it hard to believe. What assets we all have, we have already revealed. Gua Zhengnie was at a disadvantage this ti because they didn’t expect people from the fairy demon world to help. In fact, we didn’t expect it either.”
“We did not expect it indeed, which shows how clever that kid is.”
ng Xiuluo glanced at Mitra Monk and proposed, “Should we help them? Otherwise, the Third Demon is really no match for New City Sect. Despite their current advantage, things have quickly turned around. If they get defeated again, the situation will instantly reverse.”
Mitra Monk, of course, had seen the problem, and answered: “It’s not of use to be impatient. How are you going to help soone worthless?”
“He really is a good-for-nothing.”
Jing Po pointed out, “Xiao Bai does have so strategies. In the beginning, he didn’t want to return to Sky Domain City to save the day. He thought Gua Zhengnie should be able to hold up, since Gua Zhengnie still had five hundred n. All they needed were a few days to completely clean up the aftermath in the Wasteland City. But after several urgent pleas for help from Gua Zhengnie, he couldn’t sit still anymore, otherwise, the flooding wouldn’t have happened.”
“So we just let things be?” ng Xiuluo asked.
Mitra Monk had gone to so trouble convincing people that he had escaped back to Dragon Slayer Island, and he did not wish to expose himself. Longhun must have a plan for sending him to the Wastelands. At this point, he didn’t want to reveal his presence just to help Gua Zhengnie. He suggested, “Ignore it. Gua Zhengnie is more trouble than he’s worth. You couldn’t help even if you wanted to.”
“So we can only wait and see how the New City Sect will deal with the Third Demon.”
“We’re not just watching, we’ll decide when it becos necessary”
ng Xiuluo chuckled, “Actually, I find that good-for-nothing distasteful too. I heard that he has all the beautiful won of Sky Domain City in his palace, indulging in feasting and pleasure every night.”
Jing Po laughed at the information, shaking his head, “How did such a person beco their leader? What were they thinking?”
“Wait and see. I expect the people from the Fairy Demon World will launch an attack on Dragon Slayer Island soon,” Mitra Monk knew that patience was key at this point.
“Not sure if the young master’s plan has succeeded yet,” Jing Po said.
They are all aware of Longhun’s plan to defeat the Fairy Demon World using their own strength, which might be a bit challenging.
“Just wait, the situation isn’t extrely urgent yet. This is a critical period, all we can do is wait. If we exposes ourselves now, I fear it would affect the overall situation,” Mitra Monk said.
“Don’t worry. We’ll follow your advice.” Jing Po responded.
“That’s right. There won’t be any major twists and turns,” Mitra Monk assured, radiating an air of calm.
Ye Chen, together with the people from the Fairy Demon World, returned to the Wasteland City. The city was already in a pitiful state when they left it, but it only went from bad to worse.
The Wasteland City soaked in the lake water, reeked.
The water had already been drained away, but the rotting corpses were still to be cleaned up. There were flies buzzing around and the sll of dead rats was still in the air.
As it grew darker, most people who did not want to remain in the claustrophobic city moved to the city walls, where it was more airy.
Jiang Zhuge ordered people to block the holes dug by Xiao Bai. Basically, any hole they found was sealed.
Around this ti, word was received that Gua Zhengnie was preparing to attack the Wasteland City once again.
The disciples, who had only just been given a few days of rest, were anxious.
That night, Jiang Zhuge, Can Mo, and Kong Sha, paid a visit to Ye Chen to get his perspective on the situation.
Ye Chen turned to look at Jiang Zhuge and asked, “How are the disciples who were poisoned?”
“Aside from those who died, the ones who are still alive have been revived,” Jiang Zhuge continued, “We are currently preparing food, since we don’t know when the Third Demon will besiege us again,” apparently so panic could still be found in his voice.
Ye Chen instructed, “Tell the people in the city to evacuate for now. If they really don’t want to leave, send them to the mountains.”
Jiang Zhuge nodded, then added, “This ti, releasing the flood midway did drown a lot of the Third Demon’s n, which significantly boosted our morale. But I heard that Gua Zhengnie is preparing for the third siege on the Wasteland City, mobilizing all available forces from Tianle City. Gua Zhengnie also plans to join the fight personally.”
Ye Chen responded with a smile, “That’s fine, it’s either we attack them or they attack us. If they co, at least we don’t have to go looking for them.”
“Xiao Bai knows the Wasteland City too well.”
“Surely all his secret moves have been used, there can’t be anything worse than poisoning.” Ye Chen laughed.
“Indeed, knowing that you’re back, our confidence has been greatly boosted. I will start rebuilding the houses imdiately.”
Ye Chen shook his head when he heard this, “Why bother rebuilding those houses? Gua Zhengnie, since he’s planning to strike again, building more will just be a waste of ti. They’ll only end up being burnt down again.”
“That’s true,” Jiang Zhuge agreed, “We should focus on building more city defense equipnt.”
Can Mo declared, “I will imdiately send disciples to cut down trees on the mountain, and make more bows and arrows.”
“Have you ever considered, if the Third Demon is so eager to get in, why don’t we let them,” Ye Chen proposed.
“Let them in?” Jiang Zhuge was sowhat puzzled.
“Won’t they destroy the buildings inside the city, set fire to the houses, and create chaos!” Can Mo asked incredulously.
“Why care about these houses! You can’t protect them anyway. If they like to burn things, let them burn! It is all already damaged, why fear further burning? As long as people are alive, that’s all that matters,” Ye Chen said.
Jiang Zhuge responded, “You want to let them in.”
“Yes, since they want to co in so badly, let them. We’ll wage war against them inside the city and let only a portion of them in, and eliminate that portion,” Ye Chen replied.
“It’s a good idea, but I’m afraid once they’re inside, they’ll attack us from both ends. We might not be able to hold out, and the rest will flood in.”
Ye Chen pulled a box from his bosom and said, “Hidden inside here is a strange power. I don’t know how strong it is, but once it explodes, it’ll unleash an explosive wave. The energy will instantly transform into a beam of light. This energy doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe; it’ll just wipe out everything in its path.”
“Are you planning to die together with them?” Kong Sha asked.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Only a fool would choose to die together. I haven’t lived enough.”
“So, what do you plan to do?”
“If it truly becos impossible to resist and they all press into the city, I plan to detonate it in mid-air above Wasteland City. When that happens, you guys will have to find a way to hide. The energy should be released in an instant. Hide if you can, the rest depends on luck. I don’t know how many people the shockwave might kill, let alone how many of our disciples it might kill.”
Can Mo was stunned for a mont before shouting, “Fine, bring it on! Let’s see who’s more afraid.”
Jiang Zhuge also looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, “I don’t know how many it’ll kill in an instant. Before releasing this energy, I will give everyone a warning. You guys will know, but the Third Demon’s people won’t.”
Kong Sha listened and said, “Good, I support Ye Chen. When the ti cos, our disciples will find a way to dodge the mont the energy is released. I think it should be enough to give the Third Demon’s people a run for their money.”
“Of course, I’ll need your agreent too. I can’t make this decision for everyone.”
“I support Ye Chen. I believe the disciples will agree as well.”
Can Mo looked at him and asked, “Where did you get this from?”
Ye Chen said, “Demon Palace City. It’s called the strange power. They’ve been accumulating it for a long ti; its destructive power should be quite strong. I didn’t use it back in Demon Palace City because once this energy is released, it will also attack the city’s buildings. It’s sowhat inhumane.”
Kong Sha said, “Who cares about being humane now? Xiao Bai has never been humane to us. If he were, he wouldn’t have poisoned us.”
“I will release the energy from the box when they least expect it. At that ti, everyone hide.” Ye Chen said.
“When everyone is attacking indiscriminately, releasing the energy will be the most appropriate. There will definitely be a good result.”
“Not sure if this is against Daoism.”
“Daoism has already been violated by their poisoning. They were the first to disregard Daoism.”
Soon, the three of them all agreed with Ye Chen’s plan.
Can Mo remarked, “The city is already in such a state, we don’t care anymore.”
Ye Chen chuckled, “It seems like I’m destined for Hell.”
Kong Sha gave a faint smile.
“I think they will also need to prepare. We should also let our disciples prepare and rest well. As for the buildings in the city, I guess we can ignore them.” Ye Chen said.
Kong Sha responded, “Yes, if we lose, we’ll be reduced to ashes. We won’t be able to protect anything by then.”
After Ye Chen made the arrangents, he wasn’t sure if it would be successful. With no better options, he could only take one step at a ti.
They all withdrew.
Jiang Zhuge stated, “There are still unaffected houses on the hillside.”
Ye Chen suggested, “Let our injured and poisoned disciples stay there.”
“Yes, it’s more than enough.”
“If possible, arrange a room for Ling’er and Mu Wanlan.”
“Sure, I don’t need you to tell , I would have arranged it anyway.”
“You’ve all worked hard these past few days.”
“It’s alright, we just didn’t expect Xiao Bai to have held back a trick. It was really unexpected,” Jiang Zhuge replied.
“As long as we’re okay, that’s good. It’s ti to prepare well.”
