Chapter 79 -75: How to escape?
Xishan Gui spit out a piece of meat bone, finding some logic in what was said, asked: “So what’s your recommendation?”
The assistant said: “Divide them into groups, two groups. Let one group rest while the other continues to work, then swap them out come morning. This way, we can keep digging non-stop.”
“Alright, we’ll do as you suggested. However, you’d better keep a close eye on them. Don’t let these ducks run off into the woods, forcing me to exhaust myself looking for them. You must keep a close eye on them and make sure they don’t laze around.”
“Rest assured, they would not dare to laze around in front of me.”
“Fine, just keep an eye on them for me. If anything happens, I am holding you responsible.” He said, handing over some food, “Finish up as soon as possible. We can wrap things up the sooner we get through. The folks from Immortal and Demon Domains have already realized our presence, who knows when they might show up here.”
Qiao Fanfeng was somewhat surprised to see Guo Mingyu, as he too knew about the disappearance of Guo Mingyu’s younger daughter. He immediately asked: “Senior Brother Guo, what brings you here?”
Guo Mingyu rushed to greet Qiao Fanfeng, nodding: “You guys, too, are here.”
“Yes, we just arrived. Did you find your little daughter?”
Listening to this, Guo Mingyu shook his head.
“If you haven’t found your daughter yet, why aren’t you devoting your time to it?”
Guo Mingyu explained: “Didn’t they say many children have gone missing around here?”
“So, you suspect your little girl might be here, also abducted by the people of the Demon Domain?”
“I don’t know, it’s just a suspicion. I wanted to come and see for myself.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Fanfeng immediately understood.
Guo Mingyu once again asked: “You came here on your own, do you have any idea when the people from Heavenly City Sect and Qingxuan Sect will arrive?”
Qiao Fanfeng quickly answered: “They might be a bit late, possibly around one or two days.”
Hearing this, Guo Mingyu said, “So, we must wait for their arrival before we set off?!” Apart from his concern about his little girl possibly being abducted and not reaching her in time, he was also aware that time waits for no one. Even if they were to rush over now, it’s uncertain if they would be able to make it on time.
Qiao Fanfeng stated: “I think, you and me, we should set off beforehand. When they come, they can catch up with us en route. ”
“Will this really work?”
“It has to work. We found out a few days ago that several ships set sail from here. In that case, we’ve already been delayed for several days, we absolutely can’t delay any longer. And now, we only have two ships prepared, not fully ready. We can only take people from our two sects first. When they arrive, they’ll find a way to catch up. I will leave a map of Earth Demon Island behind, so they can regroup with us later.”
Guo Mingyu nodded, agreeing, “That makes sense. At least we won’t be wasting any more time. As long as both our groups set off simultaneously, if we encounter any situation, we should be able to handle it together.”
“Yes.”
They did not take any rest and boarded the ship directly, planning to rest onboard.
These ships, their students nearby had prepared before their arrival. When they arrived, two ships were already prepared.
The sky gradually began to brighten. The rain had poured all night, but by this time it had finally stopped.
Yu Yun suddenly stirred, waking He Xibai lying next to her. Upon waking up, he first checked the temperature of her forehead to see if the fever had gone down. Fortunately, it had been like a nightmare and the fever had finally broken. He anxiously asked: “Are you feeling better now, Yun’er?”
Yu Yun felt her arms sore as she tried to sit up, feeling rather tired.
Ye Chen, at one side, was contemplating their escape. Looking at Yu Yun, he said: “Well, you’d better thank me. If it weren’t for me last night, you wouldn’t have survived that. Otherwise, you would’ve been baked alive.”
He Xibai snorted: “You didn’t do much. You just gave her a piece of clothing, and a stinky one at that.” He threw the garment back to him.
“Well, now you’re complaining about my clothes being stinky. I didn’t hear you say anything of the sort last night.” Ye Chen retorted.
“Are you still feeling dizzy?”
“I’m fine now.” Yu Yun pushed her hand away.
He Xibai finally began feeling composed, not as helpless as last night.
Sunlight streamed in. The ground was quite wet but the puddles weren’t going to dry up just yet.
“Hasn’t anyone returned yet?”
“One group has returned, another one is still out.” Just as they were talking, the group of workers returned.
Immediately afterwards, someone took last night’s group of workers back to work.
At this time, some food was delivered. Ye Chen’s stomach was growling with hunger. He Xibai, looking as if she has been tamed, didn’t fuss about the food as she had in the beginning, comparing it to food for dogs. By now, she had seen how those who starved were simply disposed of in the wilderness.
“You’re so sophisticated, how could you lower yourself to eat the food not even fit for dogs? You better give it to me.” Ye Chen told her.
“Kid, don’t mess with me,” He Xibai warned.
“Seems like you’re really fond of forgetting the people who helped you. Don’t you remember last night, when you were panicking, who comforted you?”
He Xibai gave a cold look.
“Damn it, I’d rather be doing labor,” Ye Chen, gnawing at his bun, realised there was no way out of this place. Perhaps enduring more hardship and having more freedom might help him find a way out.
“These guys really treat us like pigs in a pigsty.”
Yin Jue returned, reporting: “The people from the Immortal Demon Domain have set out.”
Gao Ba looked up.
Xishan Gui said, “How could they be so fast?”
Gao Ba asked, “How many are coming?”
“Two boats of people, seems like the Immortal City and Demon Palace’s people set out early. I think the others from the Immortal Demon Domain are following them. They’ll catch up sooner or later. Right now, we may be able to stop them, but only for a while. I reckon it won’t be long before the others catch up,” replied Yin Jue.
Xishan Gui began to worry, asking, “What should we do then? We’ve only been digging for two days. Isn’t this too fast?”
Yin Jue said, “We have to dig faster.”
“I’d love to speed it up. If they didn’t need sleep, I wouldn’t let them rest. But they need to rest so that they have the strength to work.”
“Find a way. Anything you can think of, we can try,” Gao Ba said.
Xishan Gui said, “If possible, I’d like to blow the place up.”

Gao Ba said, “No, the passages in the mountain are now in this state because they were blasted. There are already many cracks in the passages. If we’re not careful, it could collapse again. Also, the explosives we prepared are for blowing up the Sealed Door. If we use them all now, we won’t have enough later and we may not be able to replenish them.”
Xishan Gui nodded and said, “Damn it, what should we do then? We’re definitely outnumbered by the disciples of the Immortal Demon Domain. If they storm the island, we won’t be able to hold them off.”
“If we can’t hold them off, then we have to find a way to hold them off,” Gao Ba stated.
“Looking at it, the passage inside is seriously blocked.”
“Try to open a passage that people can pass through. It doesn’t need to be too wide. You figure out a way to speed up the progress. If need be, we can kill a few,” Gao Ba said.
“Um, understood.”
Gao Ba looked up again and instructed, “Yin Jue, send our Winged Dragon to attack their ships. If we can slow them down, that would be great. I’ll figure out a way to lay out a defensive line on the island.”
Yin Jue said, “Alright, seems like this is our only option.”
“Xishan Gui, find a way to speed them up. I’ll finish setting up the final line and then come back.” Gao Ba commanded.
Yin Jue left quickly.
Xishan Gui was quite anxious and yelled, “Get them to work and open a passage as soon as possible, or I’m going to start killing people!”
A disciple nearby said, “They’re already working faster, but there just aren’t enough people.”
“Still not enough?!”
Another underling asked, “Can we get the idle kids to help?”
“Right, there are about thirty of them. They’re just wasting food if they’re not doing anything. They might as well help move rocks. Although they aren’t particularly skilled at making roads, they can move rocks,” another disciple suggested.
“Good, let them move rocks. You guys handle it, but keep a close eye on them. Make sure nothing goes wrong,” Xishan Gui said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on things.”
“But we’ll have fewer people. When the people from the Immortal Demon Domain come, we’ll need to pull some people to help,” Xishan Gui continued, “Send that group a message, if they don’t speed it up, I’m really going to lose it.”
Ye Chen was getting anxious. But there was nothing he could do, he couldn’t get out. Just then, a group of people came rushing in, shouting, “Get up, all of you! Have you all become lazy pigs that only eat and sleep!”
Ye Chen was startled, “Don’t tell me they’ve opened up the way and they want us to serve as corpses.”
Yu Yun said, “No, they probably haven’t broken through yet.”
“Did your soul wander off or something! How else would you know they haven’t broken through?” Ye Chen asked.
“If they had, they would surely blast the Sealed Door in the end. Did you hear any explosions today?” Yu Yun explained.
