Chapter 679: Chapter 665: Striking the Grass to Startle the Snake
It was already dark and eerily silent around them.
The Slaughter Saint continued, “I don’t know how many days it will take them to cross, but we! We have one mission; whatever happens, we must hold our ground for three days and hold off the people of Demon Palace and Immortal City. Otherwise, if they break through and our Young Master has yet to crack the Lost Soul System and is still trapped inside, they will have us sandwiched with the people of the Xuan Clan. That will be danger for us.”
The Mo Ku was utterly still; he understood the implications and the potential danger.
“What’s the current situation?” the Slaughter Saint asked.
“Guo Mingyu has already aligned with part of the Immortal City Sect and is on high alert.” The Mo Ku was sowhat bemused.
“Do we have a chance to scatter them?”
The Mo Ku smiled. “Even if we don’t, we must do it. Like you said, we have to risk it all and keep them engaged.”
“Damn Mitra Monk, he’s beco so muddled that he doesn’t even know about the existence of Lost Soul System.” The Slaughter Saint muttered while eating roast at. “Guo Mingyu and Hu Nanyue, both are seasoned veterans. I reckon small moves will not work. We must plan big, else there is no chance to break their formation.”
Looking over, Mo Ku was of the sa opinion. But now, he had already alerted the enemy.
“Guo Mingyu is not simple, small moves won’t work at all. We have to strike hard, really hard.” The Slaughter Saint said.
The Mo Ku nodded. After their last encounter with the Immortal City Sect, they had beco focused on dealing with the people of the Demon Palace City. It was not easy. Guo Mingyu seed to always know their plans but would never fall for them. He agreed, “All right, let’s do it your way. Let’s hit them hard and see if they’re really as calm as they seem.”
At that mont, the Slaughter Saint brought so n over. They still seed to have a chance, Mo Ku thought.
They had more than enough manpower, enough to play a big hand.
“Let’s see if the old man can handle it.” Slaughter Saint said confidently, he rembered that many had died under Demon Palace City; including Mutant Winged Dragon. The Dragon Slayer Clan almost collapsed, had it not been for the Young Master, who used the Sea Demon. No one would’ve known whether the Dragon Slayer Clan would have survived or not. They had long been seeking revenge.
Mo Ku was deep in thought. He was worried that the Xuan Clan would join the Demon and Immortal realm in besieging them when the ti ca, so they could not let them cross. Suddenly he asked: “Do you have news from the Wastelands?”
“Yuan nhai is a Big Sweet Potato, just like the Young Master said. He seems smart but is actually quite stupid. We nearly wiped out the New City Sect for them, and controlled most of the Wastelands, but even now they can’t get rid of the New City Sect and No. One Heroes. I think if they continue like this, they themselves are at risk.”
“What happened there?”
Mitra Monk and Yuan nhai were in contact so the news from the Wastelands was known through Mitra Monk. He said: “They surrounded Wasteland City, thinking they had won. But the city released water and flooded them.”
“Does the New City Sect want to die with them?”
“What death! They had already prepared ships. As soon as the flood ca, they climbed aboard the ships and escaped. The flood drowned a large number of soldiers of the Third Demon and a lot of Mutant Winged Dragons.”
“The Sect Leader of the New City Sect, is indeed a dangerous man.”
“He’s indeed a smart man,” the Slaughter Saint admitted, “Otherwise the Mutant Winged Dragon would not have been defeated by them. If not for him, we would have already defeated the people of the Immortal and Demon realm and none of this would have happened.”
Mo Ku nodded in agreent.
“However, compared to our Young Master, he falls far short,” the Slaughter Saint continued. “He was almost wiped out by our Young Master. Had he not escaped quickly, he would have died.”
“What is the current situation in Wasteland?”
“No. One Heroes, New City Sect and the Third Demon are balanced against each other. No one can easily wipe out the others.”
“Is No. One Heroes that good?”
“No. One Heroes had a stroke of luck. For the past three months, the Third Demon has been constantly embattled with the New City Sect. They took advantage of this situation to rise.”
“The leader of No. One Heroes, wasn’t Yang Jing also with you?”
“No, the original Yang Jing was killed.”
“He was killed?”
“Yes, by the combined forces of the Third Demon and Jue Ming. Jue Ming wanted to assassinate Yang Jing and assu the position of the leader of No. One Heroes. However, a man nad Shi Mu seized the controls. After they killed Yang Jing, they were exposed. Before they could control Ghost City, Shi Mu and his followers, including Li Yue, turned the tables and killed Jue Ming. The people of the Third Demon imdiately fled Ghost City.”
“Who is the current leader of No. One Heroes?”
“Shi Mu.”
“Who is Shi Mu?” Mo Ku exclaid with surprise.
“I do not know this man, he is a rising star. He started by following Jue Ming, then saved Yang Jing’s life, ambushed Yuan nhai on the way, and helped Yang Jing take Bishui City.”
“So, this is a formidable figure,” Mo Ku pondered, saying, “Then the No. One Heroes are not the most powerful?”
Slaughter Saint shook his head and replied, “No, on the night Shi Mu beca the leader of the No. One Heroes, Gui Lang rebelled, starting a revolt, took control of Bishui City, and also gained considerable influence.”
“Well then, the situation in Wasteland seems rather complicated.”
“And that’s why you’re saying Yuan nhai is an idiot! He turned a perfectly good situation into this ss and still claims to possess wisdom. I see this guy as a coward who can’t amount to much,” Slaughter Saint stated.
“If that’s the case, the issues in Wasteland will be hard to resolve for a while.”
“At present, it seems that way, but we don’t know what will happen next. Anyway, it’s not our problem. There’s no hope for those who can’t help themselves. The Young Master thought we could rely on them in future, for an additional layer of assurance. In my opinion, if they can take care of their own affairs now, it’s already pretty good, let alone causing trouble for us, it would be a blessing,” Slaughter Saint added.
Hearing this, Mo Ku smiled.
“Everything I say is true, that guy isn’t capable.”
“Maybe he’s a bit capable, just t soone more formidable.”
“You an the Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”
“Isn’t it so?!”
“Ah, it’s a pity this guy will only help the people of Immortal and Demon domains and refuses to acknowledge his Dragon Slaying Clan identity.”
“It’s estimated he’ll never recognize his identity again,” said Mo Ku.
“Yes, after all the killing, what’s there to acknowledge? One killed his father, another killed his wife,” Slaughter Saint added.
“Enough chatter, we still have much to do,” Mo Ku stated.
After Guo Mingyu and Su Zhanze regrouped, they experienced two more attacks. However, without any surprises, they repelled them all.
Hu Nanyue remarked, “These guys really think we’re idiots. They believe they can scatter us like flower petals in the wind with a couple of beasts. I guess they must be dreaming. Otherwise, how could they be so naive?” Despite fending off Mo Ku’s team twice, he was still very pleased and confident.
Guo Mingyu warned, “We can’t be careless. If they can’t disperse us, it’s not because they are weak, but because they have fewer people and beasts than us and the Immortal City Sect. However, their fighting strength is still very formidable. We cannot deny that.”
“Then they probably won’t co a third ti.”
“We can’t say that for sure, we must stay cautious.”
“Could it be they honestly believe they have a chance to scatter us?”
“We cannot afford to be careless. You should know our mission. If the seal is broken, everything will be over,” warned Guo Mingyu.
“Didn’t they say the Xuan Clan has intercepted them with the Lost Soul System! What are we worrying about now?”
“The Lost Soul System is not a cure-all. You know too well how cunning Longhun is. The fact that he stayed behind and didn’t leave, and tried to penetrate the Lost Soul System implies he has made preparations,” Guo Mingyu stated.
“I think not necessarily so, perhaps he is desperate. We could seize this opportunity. Join forces with the Xuan Clan to stop them from leaving the Demon Valley and eradicate them completely here,” he suggested.
Su Zhanze and Yuan Jingxing were all ears.
Yuan Jingxing added, “If we can really hold them up with the Lost Soul System and join forces with the Xuan Clan, there is a chance we can get rid of these potential threats. They didn’t bring many people.”
“What do you think of Longhun?” Guo Mingyu asked.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingxing and Su Zhanze exchanged looks.
Guo Mingyu continued, “He’s undoubtedly a genius. You don’t need
to tell you how smart he is, you’ve witnessed it yourselves. A person like him stayed behind and did not leave due to the Lost Soul System, indicating his confidence, and he wouldn’t stay without reason.”
“Maybe it shows that this person is quite extre,” said Hu Nanyue.
“Being extre might be possible, but I don’t think it’s likely. Judging by his approach, he’s undoubtedly very cautious.”
“I would disagree. Maybe he’s unwilling to give up, and wants to break the seal,” added Hu Nanyue.
“It’s possible, but we can’t rely on speculation. We must prioritize the overall situation. Keeping Demon Valley safe and stopping Longhun from breaking the seal are of utmost importance right now. Then we think about how to get rid of them,” argued Guo Mingyu who, having received a ssenger pigeon from Xuan Qian, was persuaded to believe in his strategy.
Hu Nanyue still disagreed, “I feel, given the manpower we currently have, by joining forces with the Immortal City Sect, and the Xuan Clan, it highly favors us since we far outnumber them.”
“Let’s stop Longhun first,” Guo Mingyu stated.
