Super God Grandmaster-Chapter 676 - 662: Deadlock

Shi Mu was considering whether to invite the No. One Heroes to join New City Sect as well. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

However, news from Bishui City arrived at this time. Wan Guangcai was back as well, saying, "We’d never thought that Gui Lang would attack Bishui City. We weren’t as strong as them to begin with, and at midnight, they blew the city gate open."

Ye Chen remained silent.

Everyone was present at this time. Li Mo said, "We originally planned to join forces with the No. One Heroes to take down the Third Demon together!"

Zhong Yao said, "Gui Lang had been disagreeable with Yang Jing for a long time, but didn’t show it. Especially when Yang Jing kicked them out to Futu City, they were left feeling very uncomfortable and provoked."

Yet Can Mo said, "No, this man is inherently selfish, and he didn’t sincerely follow Yang Jing. As far as he is concerned, Yang Jing is just a bereaved thief that he looks down upon."

Li Mo then coldly said, "It’s useless to say anything now, Yang Jing has turned traitor, and we have to face him."

Zhong Yao added, "Yang Jing and the Third Demon have issues with each other, he won’t help them against us."

Shi Mu said, "I was thinking of persuading the No. One Heroes to join the New City Sect as soon as possible, then joining forces against the Third Demon." He knew that everything he had achieved was due to the help of the New City Sect. Without them, he wouldn’t be where he was today.

Li Mo also nodded and said, "As long as we join forces, we will be the largest faction in Wasteland City. We don’t fear Yuan Menhai, and even less Gui Lang and his group. They are not our opponents. To have the No. One Heroes join us would be a good choice, I think it’s worth considering."

However, Ye Chen shook his head. He knew that Shi Mu had just captured Ghost City and needed a transition period. It was not necessary to be in such a hurry, and said, "No, the No. One Heroes don’t need to join the New City Sect in such a hurry. After all, a lot of Yang Jing’s people are still around. Joining in such a rush isn’t necessary."

"But most people are willing to join the New City Sect," Shi Mu said.

Ye Chen replied, "We don’t need to rush this. Right now, the most important thing isn’t about the No. One Heroes joining the New City Sect, but about what kind of method we should come up with to deal with the Third Demon and Gui Lang.

Can Mo added: "Sect Leader is right, it would indeed be inappropriate to allow the No. One Heroes to join the New City Sect prematurely, as it would create turmoil. Especially at this time, we need to remain stable, we shouldn’t get involved in other matters. We should instead think of ways to deal with Yuan Menhai and Gui Lang."

"Even if Gui Lang has captured Bishui City, he is not as good as us. It will be easy for us to take them down," Shi Mu said.

Ye Chen slightly smiled and said, "Perhaps, you guys might be able to take down Bishui City at some cost indeed. But you must be clear, there is a Third Demon there. When the time comes, if killing a thousand enemies costs eight hundred of your own men, it would only serve to benefit the Third Demon."

Shi Mu nodded slightly and said, "The Third Demon and Gui Lang have conflicts, they definitely won’t help Gui Lang."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Anything is possible. Everything is driven by interest. As long as the interest is strong enough, anything can happen."

"Then what should we do now?" Shi Mu looked somewhat at a loss.

Ye Chen said, "You first secure the Ghost City and take care of your territory. Avoid the situation in Bishui City from happening again. We can slowly devise a plan, there’s no need to hurry."

Can Mo also said, "Exactly, the current situation is still very favorable for us. Whether Gui Lang will cooperate with Yuan Menhai or not is still hard to say, but what’s most important is that we are together."

Ye Chen listened and said, "Shi Mu, there’s no need to rush. First stabilize your people, keep calm, and take control of the situation first. Zhong Yao and Second Manor Master, you two will be responsible for assisting Shi Mu in taking control of the situation."

Shi Mu said, "All of them are clamoring for revenge."

"There’s no need to rush for revenge," Ye Chen said. "You need to wait, especially when such things occur all of a sudden. You could easily fall into someone else’s trap, especially at this time when you have just become their leader."

Shi Mu nodded slightly.

Take your time, you go back, maintain good relations with Li Yue, and arrange his people well. It can’t be like Yang Jing."

"I understand."

"First stabilize your situation. We don’t know yet if Gui Lang will stir up more stuff. We can’t underestimate him. In the past, he was able to see through Xiao Bai’s tricks, showing that he is quite intelligent. He dared to take down Bishui City with Er Gui and his group, it must be because he saw an opportunity. He knows there’s a Third Demon around, and the New City Sect, everything is unstable. He must have thought that Yang Jing would not dare to target him regardless of the danger, but he didn’t expect you to become the new leader of the No. One Heroes."

Ye Chen made simple arrangements.

Ye Chen added: "If you need any help, find Can Mo." The matter in Bishui City happened all of a sudden, to which even he was somewhat unprepared. For now, he needed to think carefully. His plans didn’t keep up with the changes, so he couldn’t be careless about Gui Lang. When Gui Lang goes crazy, he’s likely to indiscriminately hurt people."

Not long after, they dispersed.

Shi Mu stood up, saying, "Sect Leader, if you have nothing else, I will go back and handle things first."

Ye Chen replied, "In that case, don’t rush to bring the No. One Heroes into the New City Sect. Especially when there are people like Gui Lang and the Third Demon around, if they point fingers at you, it wouldn’t be good for you either."

"Okay, I understand."

"There will be plenty of time in the future. You should first handle your own matters, I’ll see how it goes."

Shi Mu nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave. I’ll arrange a bigger inn for you."

"No need, this place is fine, right here. You go and handle your matters, deal with the issue related to the No. One Heroes."

Shi Mu left.

Soon, the room only had Ye Chen and Yun’er left.

Yun’er shook her head and said, "Damn, I thought we could wrap up, but I did not expect Gui Lang to stir up such a mess."

Ye Chen remained silent, still very calm.

"I thought, after taking care of Yang Jing, we could start aiming at Sky Domain City."

"We all thought so, but now Gui Lang obviously can’t be underestimated. Especially when dealing with Yuan Menhai, we mustn’t let this mad dog exploit any opportunities. Otherwise, it will bite us too."

"So, what should we do now?" Yun’er was at a loss.

"What else can we do? Those who should get married will get married, those who should have children will have children. What else!" Ye Chen said.

"I didn’t expect Gui Lang to be this wily."

"He’s not dumb! He teamed up with Er Gui and San Gui, and they fit right into his scheme. He knows the balance of power among the three. Even if he takes over Bishui City now, the No. One Heroes won’t dare to touch him casually. He also needs to consider Yuan Menhai’s people. No one is a fool here except us."

"Do you think they will join forces with Yuan Menhai’s people?"

"Hard to say, it’s all driven by interests! Now that the Third Demon is in such a state, Yuan Menhai is our lethal enemy. Yang Jing was killed, the evidence is solid. It’s their doing with Jue Ming, which means they can’t possibly ally with the No. One Heroes."

"But Gui Lang also has a grudge against Yuan Menhai."

"Comparatively speaking, it’s just the death of Gua Zhengnie, not Gui Lang’s father. He doesn’t care, especially with what’s happening now, Gui Lang’s forces should be the weakest."

Yun’er shook her head after hearing that and said, "A perfectly good situation suddenly turns into this."

"I told you before, don’t get too excited too early. Now do you believe me?" Ye Chen was murmuring something to himself.

Yun’er shook her head and said, "I wonder if Yuan Menhai knows that we are with the No. One Heroes."

"He might suspect it, but he’s not sure." He knew that last night, Can Mo and Li Mo didn’t really show up.

"If so, can we use this to our advantage?"

"Compared to some time ago, the situation has improved. At least we now have a chance. Before, we were just running for our lives. Now the opportunity is right in front of us. It depends on whether we can seize it." Ye Chen thought to himself, indeed, they should plan carefully.

Yun’er said, "Let’s stop thinking. I’m going out for a walk."

Ye Chen looked at her and asked, "To Lover’s Lake?"

"Go to hell, you’re always thinking of taking advantage of me!" Yun’er said.

"You’re pretty plump. If I don’t take advantage of you, then whom? Will you agree if I take advantage of someone else! You might tear the other girl apart." Ye Chen looked at the street below. The weather was pretty good.

"Are you saying I’m fat?"

"No, just saying you have a lot of places to take advantage of."

"You’re just a big pervert."

"What can I do! You always dress up like a roast, a hunter can’t resist when he sees his prey." Ye Chen stood up.

"I thought you were more reserved! Planning to keep your purity for Ling’er, ready to become a monk."

"Huh!"

"Just a big pervert, pretending to be a saint, but in reality, you’re so wicked deep inside."

"As long as you know, be careful or else you’ll lose your innocence and I won’t be responsible. By then, you’ll have to go back to Demon Palace City with a big belly."

Unbeknownst to them, it was already noon.

"What on earth is going on in Central Plains? There’s been no news from that group of people." A few days have passed, and she was getting restless, despite usually being calm and collected.

What’s worse, the Wastelands are facing this turmoil, adding another hungry wolf to the mix. Originally, they planned to quickly dispose of the Third Demon, but now it seems they can’t rush anymore.
