Chapter 94 -89: Coward
The surroundings fell silent. Once Ye Chen was certain that no one was chasing after him, he let out a sigh of relief after surviving a brush with death. Hurrying toward the fire pit, he added more wood to strengthen the blaze.
Ye Chen muttered to himself, “Can I get a better reason to cooperate?”
The Red Demonic Spirit asked, “Who gave you this Jade Ring?”
“My father left it for me.” Ye Chen wasn’t so scared anymore.
“Do you want to learn the secrets of this Jade Ring?”
“Secrets.” Ye Chen had never thought about this before.
“Yes, I can help you unravel the secrets of this Jade Ring.”
“I can figure it out myself.”
“I can make your efforts count double. Many people want my power and knowledge, but I don’t like them. However, I can give them to you for free to assist you in your martial arts training.”
“You’re that kind?” Ye Chen was far from ready to blindly trust a being that he’d known for less than an hour, an eerie spirit that drifted around unsettled. The incident with the humpback man had taught him a lot of lessons.
“Of course not, didn’t I tell you? You are my talisman. We use each other. Without you as a host, they would quickly find me. We could be a pair.” The Red Demonic Spirit saw his fear.
“Don’t make it sound so sentimental,” Ye Chen retorted.
“Well, whatever, think it over. Otherwise, I’ll drain you. Think it through,” the red shadow vanished back into Ye Chen’s body.
“Hey, we didn’t finish our discussion.” Eggs! There was nothing to think about, no real choices to be made.
“Can you please be quiet for a bit, so I can get a good sleep?” The Red Demonic Spirit figure that children are easier to control, less complicated than adults, a talisman too, it seemed like a win-win deal.
The people of the Evil Domain that had been pursuing Ye Chen were now gone, and without realizing it, dawn was breaking.
Huan Huo found Sheng Kong and said, “Evil King, two more shiploads of disciples from the Immortal Demon Domain arrived. The island is getting crowded with them now. They spread throughout the mountaintop. Shall we stay and continue searching for the boy?” He was worried it might be dangerous.
Sheng Kong was somewhat unwilling, but now, more and more disciples from the Immortal Demon Domain were appearing, and they could be trapped at any moment.
Shi Tuo said, “If we don’t go now, we might be risking danger.”
Sheng Kong asked, “What about the people from the Demon Domain?”
“They hid their ship behind the mountain and departed around midnight,” Shi Tuo reported.
“Damn it, can’t believe that bastard managed to escape.”
“We’re in a dangerous situation staying on this mountain now. We are surrounded by disciples of the Immortal Demon Domain, and the child has vanished again. The aftermath of the last attack on the Immortal City isn’t over yet. If we’re not careful, we could be surrounded by people from the Immortal Demon Domain. We should go.”
Huan Huo also said, “Yes, we don’t know where the kid is now, and he has the Red Demonic Spirit helping him. The only people left on this mountain are us and those from the Immortal Demon Domain. If we don’t leave now, it could get dangerous.”
Finally, Sheng Kong agreed, “Alright, let’s go, let’s leave this place.” With a hint of regret lingering, he had no choice but to concede. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills exist, one need not worry about firewood.”
Shi Tuo nodded, “I’ll start organizing it.”
Although Sheng Kong was somewhat unconvinced, he had to admit that they were right. If the Immortal Demon Domain changed their target and decided to exterminate them, they would be greatly outnumbered. In this island, the manpower of the Immortal Demon Domain was far superior to theirs, which would be tough to deal with.
The fog was still thick at this time. Although most of the fires had been extinguished, the smell of charred meat still hung in the air.
It would take some time for the fog to disperse.
Qiao Fanfeng had been chasing after Gao Ba of the Demon Domain, hoping to capture him. He was accompanied by Wan Shatong of Qingxuan Sect. Learning that Gao Ba was injured, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity, but unexpectedly, the chase led them to North Mountain. Gao Ba had made preparations on North Mountain in advance, their ship was stationed at the foot of the mountain. When they were about to catch up, Gao Ba and his group boarded the ship.
The ship of the Immortal Demon Domain was on the east side, therefore, they were easily evaded by the Demonic Domain. The Black Demonic Spirit was taken away just like that.
“How was it?” Guo Mingyu asked when Qiao Fanfeng returned.
“The cunning Gao Ba, they had two ships stationed on the northern shore. By the time we caught up, they were already aboard. Our ship was on the eastern shore.” He said, with disappointment in his voice, “What about you?”
“The forest was too dense, we followed the men of the Evil Domain up that mountain, but we’re unfamiliar with the terrain there, and it was too dark. We later encountered Ghost Wolves. After entangled with them for over half an hour, we lost track of the Evil Domain. We couldn’t pick up their trail again.” Guo Mingyu said.
“Did you find the boy?”
“We did not.”
“By the way, what’s the boy’s name?”
“My daughter said his name is Ye Chen,” replied Guo Mingyu.
Upon hearing the name, Qiao Fanfeng turned towards Wei Chiqing, “Isn’t Ye Xue’s son also called Ye Chen?”
“It’s possible that they share the same name.” Wei Chiqing stated.
“Yeah, it can’t be such a coincidence.”
“What’s wrong, you know the boy?” Guo Mingyu inquired.
“No, just remembered. When the Evil Domain ambushed Ren Xiongbei, he was with Ye Xue and her son. Ye Xue died halfway, and her son went missing. Her son’s name was Ye Chen.” Qiao Fanfeng explained.
“Maybe it’s just a coincidence of names.”
“Hmm, it’s likely.” Qiao Fanfeng then asked, “Is your daughter okay?”
“Yes, she’s fine.”
Suddenly, Guan Yi ran over hastily.
“What happened?” Guo Mingyu asked.
“Just now, the people of the Evil Domain fled on a ship from West Mountain,” reported Guan Yi.
“Did they capture the boy?” He knew that the men of the Evil Domain were the ones who chased the hardest and thus the most likely to catch the child.
“I don’t know.”
“Damn, when will our boat set sail?” He worried that the child had been captured by the people of the Evil Domain.
“Apart from those two shabby boats, the subsequent ones were intact,” Guan Yi said.
Guo Mingyu glanced at Qiao Fanfeng.
Qiao Fanfeng said, “They’re gone again. If the people of the Evil Domain took the child, then the two demonic spirits fall separately into the hands of the Evil Domain and the Demon Domain.”
“We are on the east shore, not too far from the Evil Domain. If we embark right now, we might be able to catch up.”
Guo Mingyu asked, “Junior Brother Qiao, do we pursue or not?”
Qiao Fanfeng thought for a moment. The Evil Domain had killed so many disciples of Immortal City last time and he had not yet settled scores with them. He said, “How about I pursue them?” He wanted to take the chance.
Wan Shatong said, “There are a large number of craftsmen and a group of children left in the mountains. Some of them are too scared to come out. They were brought by the people of the Demon Domain, we need to find these people and bring them back.”
Guan Yi suggested, “So, Senior Brother Guo and Junior Brother Qiao, you two lead two boats to track the people of the Evil Domain. Master Wan and I will take care of the rest.”
Guo Mingyu glanced at Qiao Fanfeng.
Qiao Fanfeng nodded and declared, “Whether the Evil Domain has really taken the child or not, we cannot easily let go of the people of the Evil Domain.”
Guo Mingyu spoke, “Sect Leader Wan, Sect Leader Guan, the two of you will be responsible for rescuing the scattered children in the mountains, and the craftsmen we’ve arrested.”
Guan Yi reassured, “Rest assured. We guarantee that not a single one will be left.”
“We will meet at Cow’s Horn then.”
“Yes, be careful on the way. You take those two undamaged boats, so it will be faster catching up.”
“Sure.” Qiao Fanfeng of Immortal City and Guo Mingyu of Demon Palace City promptly prepared. They wholeheartedly believed that the child was likely captured by the people of the Evil Domain, and that the ring should now be in their hands.
Guo Yuyun had already found He Xibai. Not knowing what her father meant, she saw him hurrying over.
“Dad, have you found Ye Chen yet?”
Guo Mingyu responded, “No, it’s very likely that Ye Chen has been captured by people of the Evil Domain.”
“What? He was captured by the Evil Domain? What should we do?”
“They’ve set sail and left, we’re going to pursue them.”
“Then Ye Chen will be killed by them.” Yu Yun quickly became anxious at the thought.
Guo Mingyu didn’t know how to comfort her, he could only say, “Quickly, take Yun’er onto the boat.”
“Dad, are you sure that the people of the Evil Domain found Ye Chen?”

“Not sure, but the Evil Domain’s people were the first to chase, they left early this morning. They may have captured the child, otherwise they wouldn’t have left so easily.”
“What about the craftsmen hiding in the mountains and those children?”
“We’ve already handed them over to Qingxuan Sect and Withered Leaf Sect. Once they’ve repaired the boat, they’ll also take them home.”
From the side, He Xibai prompted, “Yu Yun, you better hurry up and get in, we’re about to set sail.”
Only then did Yu Yun follow him onto the ship.
Glancing back, she was still very worried. If Ye Chen was captured, what would happen? Would he be killed by the people of the Evil Domain? Was he really in their hands?
Though it had only been a few days, she didn’t wish for any trouble to befall him. Afterall, he had saved her life, otherwise, the Red Demonic Spirit would be on her.
Reluctantly, she boarded the ship that was about to set sail at any moment.
Ye Chen woke up with a start, and raised his head only to realize that the sun had already risen halfway up the mountain. He had dreamt of a man from the Demon Domain, stabbing a sword through his chest. He looked around to see if anyone was chasing him.
That voice came again, asking, “How have you considered it?”
“Do I have a choice? I still don’t know how to return to the Central Plains,” Ye Chen said.
“Then descend the mountain.”
“Descend? The people of the Evil Domain could be at the foot of the mountain.”
The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled coldly, “You’re such a coward. The people of the Immortal and Demon Domains have arrived. Those from the Evil Domain must have already run away.”
“You’re the coward!”
Consequently, the sound of barking dogs echoed from the distance.
Ye Chen immediately tensed up and shouted, “Not good, they’re still after us.” He was beginning to act a bit neurotic.
“Don’t be more neurotic than me. First, let’s see what is happening before making a move.”
Ye Chen found there was some truth in this, so he didn’t continue to run. He hurriedly put on his clothes after possibly being spooked by the events last night.
They heard the voices of people at the bottom of the mountain shouting, “Those hiding in the mountains, you need to come out. We are disciples of the Immortal and Demon Domains. People from the Demon and Evil Domains have left. If you don’t come out now, we’re going to leave.”
“Leave… No, no, no… don’t leave me behind…”
“Can you wait a moment?” the Red Demonic Spirit called out to him.
“You don’t want to leave?”
“What identity are you leaving under? Do those people know that I entered your body last night? Shouldn’t you change your name?”
