Chapter 2225 - Saving Hong Yuan
Chapter 2225 Saving Hong Yuan
It was only after Lang Ya had made arrangements to deal with Hong Yuan did the City Lord’s steward come in: “Patriarch, the news has been sent back.”
To be able to address him that way, it meant that the steward was also from the Devil Sky Wolf Clan.
Lang Ya responded lightly.
“Patriarch, can you really sense the Dream Devil’s breath?” The steward asked cautiously.
“There’s no mistake.” Lang Ya said, “If there is any breath that I am unable to forget, it can only be the one that belongs to the Dream Devil Clan.”
He had participated in the events personally that year, and he remembered clearly how the Dream Devil clan had been wiped out. The Dream Devil that had been impossible to kill was dissected by him. When he had been suppressed, he had also taken part in that. How could he have made a mistake?!
“One hundred years ago, someone once sensed the breath of the Dream Devil in a city near the Bloody Tunnel. But it was only for a moment, and she left no trace behind.” The steward spoke: “Could this be the same as last time?”
“Probably not. Since she helped the people on that side of the city, it means that her allegiance is to them. Although I don’t know who released her, I don’t think she will have forgotten her hatred all those years ago. Since she knows I’m here, she will definitely not give up.”
“Patriarch, the Dream Devil Clan was wiped out. If she comes back this time, I’m afraid she will use the power from that side to help her take revenge. We still have to be very careful.” The steward said.
“Hey, she wants to take revenge with her strength?” Lang Ya didn’t take Little Dream seriously at all. When she was suppressed back then, she was only a Devil General, how could she be stronger now?
As for the possibility that she would borrow the power of that side, what did he have to worry about? He wished that he could kill more people right now, then he could go to Mo Lou and claim the credit!
“Send someone to investigate, we must find her whereabouts!”
“I’ll send someone out of the city to investigate now.” The steward replied.
“No, focus inside the city. The people she is looking for are all from the city, which means she is in Frost Moon City! You must find her no matter what method you use, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground.”
“Yes!”
The steward responded, then left immediately to make arrangements.
He had also participated in the original incident and naturally knew about the treasure the Dream Devil had on her. Previously, they hadn’t been able to bear the pressure, so they had agreed to suppress her to the Yi Lin Continent. Now that she was back, how could they miss such an opportunity? In the past, no matter what they did, she couldn’t be killed. The secret of immortality, this alone was enough to drive an entire continent crazy!
They had to find her this morning!
However, no matter how they investigated, they couldn’t find Little Dream’s breath. Lang Ya and the others doubted that she was in the city at all.
When Hong Yuan first arrived at Frost Moon Ridge, he had encountered an assassination attempt. Fortunately ,Hua Jing had brought enough people and they didn’t die on the spot. However, half of the people they had brought with them had died.
“Your Honor, we have to contact General Ji and ask him to send someone to meet us.” Hua Jing said after he had cleaned up the mess.
They had met with an ambush the moment they had arrived, which meant the other side was well prepared and knew that they would come. There would no doubt be many more attacks along the road to Frost Moon City. They had to protect Hong Yuan’s life, and Ji Ze had the manpower.
Hong Yuan didn’t want to use his own life as stakes either. It wasn’t that he was afraid to die, but mainly because his death would bring a big blow to Wu Lingyu’s momentum and give Mo Lou a chance to take advantage. So, he couldn’t die, he had to live.
Earlier, they had only sent a message to Ji Ze to say that they would go there, but now they needed someone to go and meet them.
When Hua Xiu heard the news, he couldn’t help but whisper to Ba Jia Zi: “This Priest won’t stay by the King’s side but decides to come here instead to join the fun. Isn’t he just giving us extra work to do?”.
Ba Jia Zi poked him and whispered back: “The strength of the Priest is higher than yours, it’s just that those people sent to assassinate him are all aimed at his strength, he can’t do anything about that.”
“If he can’t do anything about that then he shouldn’t have come. He shouldn’t have taken my elder brother with him!”
“I think you’re afraid the Priest will settle the score with us, am I right?” Ba Jia Zi sat on the chair with his legs crossed, unworried at all.
“Well, weren’t you afraid of him previously too? Why are you so calm now?” “That’s because we have backing now!” Ba Jia Zi smiled, “With You Yue here, you can rest assured we won’t be punished.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course!” Ba Jia Zi said confidently, “Besides, we are taking over Frost Moon City now, and after that someone has to stay behind to guard it. Now everyone is busy dealing with Mo Lou, he is the most suitable one.”
“Strictly speaking, His Honor’s travel itinerary should be confidential, how did Lang Ya and his men know his whereabouts? I think we most likely have a traitor.”
“It’s possible. When General Ji comes back we will ask him.”
“But, once His Honor arrives, You Yue’s secret will be exposed!”
“That’s true…”
When Sima You Yue heard the news that Hong Yuan was coming from Ji Ze, she was stunned. The last time they met, he was too strong and powerful, his killing intentions towards her was also too strong. She didn’t have a good impression of him.
“I have already destroyed the array stone. I have to go and get the Priest now. What are you going to do?”.
“In order to capture the ringleader, one must capture all his followers first, of course we will start with Lang Ya first.” Sima You Yue said, “When you get back, the City Lord should be
gone.”
“You are certain?”
She had already met Lang Ya and she knew where his strength lies. In order to deal with him, Little Dream could do it by herself.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” The most important thing for Ji Ze now was to protect Hong Yuan. To Wu Lingyu, Hong Yuan was even more important than Frost Moon City.
Sima You Yue waited till he had left, then she sent the scarlet bees to inquire about the news. She was preparing to settle the score with Lang Ya when she learnt that he had already left.
When she thought of the news the scarlet bees had brought back, she sighed: “Forget it, since you are so important to Lingyu, I will help
you!”
Having said that, she disappeared from the spot.
Although they had sent the news, Hong Yuan and Hua Jing were still only approaching Frost Moon City. They suspected that someone had exposed their whereabouts, so they changed their route. The journey was relatively calm, but they were still found by Lang Ya before they were able to meet up with Ji Ze.
In addition to Lang Ya, there were a few other people. They were the clan elders of Devil Sky Wolf, and their strength was very strong. Other than Hong Yuan who could match their strength, Hua Jing could only just withstand them for a while. The others were nearly pushed down by their coercion.
“You have really gone to a lot of effort just to deal with me!” Hong Yuan didn’t panic at being besieged. “Of course. I really didn’t expect that you, the traitor, would dare to come to my territory. It’s just the right timing anyway, and I can take your head and report to the King! I would like to see how Wu Lingyu can fight against the King without you!”
