Chapter 67 -63: Ambushed
Dishes were continually brought up to the table, filling it completely. Ye Chen was already famished.
Ye Xue asked with doubt, “If Earth Demon Island really reappears, and there are Red Demonic Spirits and Black Demonic Spirits on the island, won’t a great battle take place?”
Ren Xiongbei answered, “Now we have just heard about it, it has not been fully confirmed. It might just be a rumor.”
“Even a rumor matters little. But if it is true, then we must be vigilant.”
“Mmhmm, true.”
“But as far as I know, only people from Immortal City know the location of Earth Demon Island.” Earth Demon Island was sealed by the people of Immortal City.
“That’s why it seems strange.”
Ye Chen continued to eat.
“How could the Earth Demon Island suddenly reappear in the world?” Ye Xue was somewhat puzzled. Unless someone had lifted the seal, it wouldn’t reappear. But how did they know the location of Earth Demon Island?
“We are just as confused about this matter.” Ren Xiongbei responded.
“Is this the doing of the Evil Domain people?”
“It might be the Demon Domain.”
“Demon Domain?”
“Yes, don’t worry about this. Just think about living a good life in the Qingxuan Sect. Everything will get better.”
“I’ve added to your troubles again.”
“What you mean by ‘again’? Not a trouble at all.” Ren Xiongbei continued, “Ye Chen, eat quickly.”
“I dare not eat too much. The horse carriage shakes a lot. If I eat too much, I’ll vomit bile.”
Rong Xiongbei laughed and said, “Then take it with you and eat on the way. Eat whenever you’re hungry.”
“There is still some food left in the carriage.” Ye Xue interjected.
“Bring extra, we don’t know if we can reach the next town tonight. We might have to stay in the wilderness.” Ren Xiongbei added.
At this time, the sun was directly overhead, the hottest time of the day. It was as if the heat was intending to bake people into grilled cakes.
Ren Xiongbei complained, “It’s only April, how has it become so hot already? It’s unbearable!”
The cicadas on the willow trees were buzzing loudly.
Ye Chen was leaning against the window, observing the bustling street, and suddenly thought of Su Hong. Thirteen years had passed and he still didn’t know who his father was. He dreamt of meeting his father but now that they were about to part, he didn’t know when he would see him again.
Regardless, he felt encouraged. He knew he must not despair, he had to diligently practice martial arts, so that he could stand confidently in front of his father in the future. He couldn’t let his father look down on him. Especially, he wanted to fight back for his mother’s sake. That’s what he was thinking.
The disciples from Immortal City were preparing below, there were more than twenty of them.
The vendor selling sugar-coated haws was shouting, and the grilled sesame seed cake shop was bustling with business.
The sound of a camel car, it was a northern caravan arriving.
Despite the heat, it didn’t affect their busyness.
Some wind blew from time to time, making the cloth strips on the rooftops flutter like kites, creating rattling noises.
The new Evil King, Sheng Kong, along with his second in command, Shi Tuo, and third in command, Huan Huo, arrived at Crane City. Their purpose was to find out about Earth Demon Island. Rumor had it that people from the Demon Domain had found the island. They came to verify this rumor in hopes of an opportunity.
Suddenly, an assistant ran in panic, “Master Sheng Kong, Ren Xiongbei has been spotted. Ren Xiongbei is leading a group of people down the hill.”
“Ren Xiongbei, how could he… Does he know we are in Crane City? Impossible, we have been very careful, moving separately. How could he have discovered us so quickly?” Sheng Kong was bewildered.
“He seemed not to have arrived in Crane City because of us.”
“Not because of us, what do you mean?” Huan Huo asked.
The man hurriedly explained, “Our disciple overheard that Immortal City had been in chaos last night.”
“Chaos, what kind of chaos?” Huan Huo asked anxiously.
“It is said that a month ago, Su Hong, after painstakingly searching for thirteen years, brought back a junior sister named Ye Xue and a thirteen-year-old boy, both surnamed Ye. They stayed in Immortal City for a month, however, Feng Nianmei discovered that this Ye Xue was not only Su Hong’s junior sister but also his old lover. The child changed his surname to Ye because his father is Su Hong. This was discovered by Feng Nianmei and created a huge uproar, she was screaming about ‘me or her’.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Kong curiously asked, “Then what happened?”
“This morning, Su Hong arranged for Ren Xiongbei to send Ye Xue and the child down the mountain, saying that he was sending the two to the Qingxuan Sect.”
Huan Huo sneered upon hearing this, saying, “I never imagined that this Su fellow was quite a playboy in his youth.”
Sheng Kong asked: “Is this true?”
“Last night, all of Immortal City was in an uproar, the whole city knows about it. How else could they have been sent away so quickly, and under Su Hong’s arrangement at that. Rumor has it that, back in the day, Su Hong didn’t want to marry Feng Nianmei. But then Ye Xue disappeared, Feng Nianmei got pregnant, and thanks to her, Su Hong became the Sect Leader of Immortal City.”
After hearing this, Shi Tuo asked, “So, this woman called Ye Xue was really Su Hong’s mistress, and the child is Su Hong’s?”
The assistant nodded and said: “Most certainly, otherwise, why didn’t he dare to explain last night, why didn’t he dare to reveal who the child’s father really is? Isn’t it as clear as day that he has tacitly admitted it already?”

“These garbage affairs, what do they have to do with us? Bring back some valuable news, will you?” grumbled Huan Huo.
Shi Tuo, however, raised his head and said, “No, this news isn’t worthless at all. It holds great value.”
“Second-in-command, what do you mean? Does this news hold value?”
“Of course it does. If it’s true that Ye Xue is Su Hong’s mistress, and that the kid is his, we can take them hostage to blackmail Su Hong. Our old Evil King, Shi Xuetian, is still in Hell Tower. If we can capture these two, and use them to force Su Hong to release our Evil King, wouldn’t that be possible?”
Upon hearing this, Huan Huo’s eyes widened instantly, he asked: “Can we really blackmail Su Hong?”
Shi Tuo responded, “As long as this is all true, why couldn’t we blackmail Su Hong? I don’t believe that this Casanova, Su Hong, would abandon them. We have no other way to break into the Immortal City and rescue Shi Xuetian from Hell Tower. This is our only chance. Why not give it a try? We might actually succeed.”
The Evil King Sheng Kong gave a nod in agreement.
Shi Tuo asked, “Boss, do you think this is possible?”
Sheng Kong, being Shi Xuetian’s younger brother, was wholly intent on rescuing his older brother but hadn’t yet found an opportunity. He saw this as one such chance, so he turned and asked, “How many men has Ren Xiongbei brought with him?”
“At most about thirty people. Not many,” answered one of the subordinates who had come in.
“Well, this could be easy then. We should consider the idea of capturing this mother and child. Whether or not it would eventually work, at least giving them a quick death would provide some satisfaction. It would be best to upset Su Hong a bit,” Huan Huo said.
Shi Tuo chuckled and replied, “We can’t get into Immortal City, and there’s no news from Earth Demon Island. Instead of just waiting around, we might as well try something. If we manage to release our old Evil King, the good days will return.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Kong said, “Fine, let’s do it. Capture the mother and son first.”
Huan Huo was already rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
Sheng Kong quickly added, “Keep an eye on them. Do not let them discover us. I will organize a team now to try and capture them.”
The subordinate quickly left.
Huan Huo said, “We came all this way and still couldn’t find any news about Earth Demon Island. We can’t just return empty-handed. I actually want to see this woman that Su Hong has been pining for, whom he has been searching for thirteen years!”
“If Su Hong really is so infatuated with her, maybe our blackmail would work. He can’t just ignore everything,” Shi Tuo pondered.
“Who cares, let’s capture them first.”
After Ye Chen and his group ate their lunch, they quickly set off.
The horse carriage creaked and jingled as it headed east.
Ye Chen was leaning against the window of the carriage, looking at the trees on both sides. This was a forest, and they were traveling through it. Although it was a bit stifling, there was alternating shade and sunshine on the road.
The cicadas in the forest started crying out again, as if saying, “It’s too hot…I want to take a bath.” The birds in the forest also seemed to get excited and started to feed frantically, causing the cicadas to urinate everywhere in fright.
Ren Xiongbei, sitting beside him, asked, “It’s not too shaky, is it?”
Ye Chen shook his head.
“So, you don’t have to worry about feeling nauseous. We can slow down a bit.”
Ye Chen gave a slight smile and asked, “How long will it take us to reach the Qingxuan Sect?”
“If we rush, it will be two days. But it may take three or four days if we take it slow.”
“That long!”
“That’s pretty fast already.” Ren Xiongbei continued, “Once we reach the Qingxuan Sect, don’t think too much. Just focus on learning martial arts, alright? While Qingxuan Sect may not be as good as us, it’s quite impressive. If you have guts, learn martial arts first, and don’t let anyone look down on you.”
Ye Chen nodded, taking Ren’s words to heart. He would never let that mother and child look down on him.
The forest was getting denser, and the sun was setting. It was nearing dusk.
At this time, it was quiet, with only the sound of horse hooves, which made Ren Xiongbei instinctively become vigilant. The horse slowed down.
“Whoosh…whoosh…” More than a dozen arrows flew out from the side, striking three disciples.
