Chapter 78: Yang chen's predicament!
"Yang chen, Cut her some slack"
After slaying the guard captains, Gu mama returned to the group and seeing that the punishment was still going on, She felt pity for daughter-in-law and interceded for Yao mei,
"Mom, Did you kill them already?"
Yang Chen asked, turning his head back after hearing her voice. As he shifted his focus to Gu mama, Yao mei slipped away from his grasp and hid behind Gu mama.
Sun Linhua giggled, feeling amused by her friend's suffering.
"Of course, I was holding back because you asked me to. If not, I would have killed them with two or three hits"
Gu mama tried to speak humbly but it only looked like flexing in the eyes of others.
Yang Chen smiled in relief as he looked at the group. He was relieved to see that none of them had any injuries on their body. Just as he felt relieved, Nyx's voice sounded like a danger alarm.
'Master, We got company!'
'A group of individuals is heading in our direction from the west and another from the east, the same direction where the guards came from'.
Yang Chen's face turned serious after hearing her words. He had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
'Nyx, The group from the west…are they knight crops?' Yang chen asked.
'Yes, Master'
'Then, The one from the east….is it Li Mo?'
Yang chen was puzzled as he couldn't make sense of this situation.
Obviously, Nyx stopped the guard from the using the ghost stone communicator, prevent them from calling Li Mo.
But Why is he heading towards them?
'Yes, Master. He should be Lin Mo. As Xie Qingyi said, He is in shadow Acolyte first stage'. Nyx's confirmation puzzled him further, wondering whether he had missed something important.
After pondering for a while, he came to a conclusion which he wasn't sure about.
From the beginning, Li Mo wasn't hoping for the guards to inform him. Instead, he was hoping that his guards wouldn't inform him.
If they didn't inform him, The enemy they faced should be same as the secret guards he had before as the secret guards also died without contacting him.
It was a baseless assumption of Yang chen.
Yet, considering how the guards used ghost stone before they found Xie Qingyi and they were the guard of Li Mo, Yang chen couldn't help but feel otherwise. Li Mo should have known about the rebellious thoughts of his guards before and sent them here, knowing they would use the ghost stone like this.
Yang chen frowned upon noticing a contradictory detail. If his assumptions were true, Li Mo should be more insidious and cunning. His reckless actions of entering the Ghost bride territory made him confused.
'Nyx, can you check if there is someone or a group following Li Mo?' Nyx followed his words and used her perceptive senses to the extreme. A few moments later, Nyx replied to him,
'Master, There is no one following Li Mo from behind. He is all alone'.
'Alone…?'
'Doesn't he have some kind of hole card?'
Li Mo's reckless actions can be explained only if he had a backup or a hole card.
'But What kind of hole card allows to enter the enemy territory recklessly?' Yang chen muttered to himself.
The more he thought about it, the more he became puzzled. He was frustrated as he can't see through Li Mo's plan. Shaking his head, He decided to focus on the current situation and asked Nyx about an important thing.
'Who would reach us first and how much time left before they reach us?'
'Sadly, It is Li Mo, Master'
'He will reach us in two minutes'
'Do you want me to help…' Nyx could see the situation was going in a wrong direction and offered to help.
'No need' Although, Yang chen appreciated her thought. He refused.
He didn't want Nyx to make a move unless it deemed absolutely necessary. Moreover, If she made a move now, It would be problem if Tang Bingyin noticed something and Nyx became worried after seeing his stubborn face.
Yang chen just needs to hold on until the knight corps reaches them.
"Yang chen, What's wrong with you?"
Gu mama asked with a concerned face, noticing his troubled expression.
"Mom, The Enemy's leader and the knight corps are heading our way"
"But the enemy will reach us first, and he is in shadow acolyte first stage, a realm higher than you, mom"
"He will reach us within two minutes"
"Then, How about I do this…" Gu mama spoke and began to tell her plan, and the group joined the discussion.
.....
Meanwhile, Fifty miles away from the hidden crust village, A figure was travelling through the dense forest at a high speed. It was none other than Li Mo, and he was heading in the direction where his guards went.
"Wretched spirit, I will kill you!"
Li Mo was on the verge of losing his mind in anger. If he got a chance to reverse time, he wouldn't choose to avenge his son at all.
By choosing to seek revenge, He lost most of his fortune and all the guards he cultivated painstakingly by spending tons of spectral energy. Although, they had some rebellious thoughts, He knew how to make to use them.
Now, He was forced to enter the enemy territory alone after using his remaining guards as a decoy.
If he didn't kill the evil spirit and returned to the abyssal fiends headquarters, he might as well lose the position of high official, which he obtained through many hardships and bloodbaths.
"Damn it, Damn it all"
While cursing, he held the green pendant on his neck and increased his speed, wanting to kill the evil spirit to vent his anger and return safely
However, Li Mo didn't know that Yang chen figured out everything about his plan except his 'hole card' and was preparing to face with him with his girls. lastly, If he knew Tang Bingyin, the feind slayer was coming to capture him, Li Mo would surely lose his mind in anger.
.....
