Chapter 729 728: Initial Success, Awaiting Whatʼs Next

Ye Chen glanced at Situ Wenhai in surprise.

This guy, does he really have such authority?

Situ Wenhai said: ”My grandfather sent me here to keep an eye on the Second Elder. If the Second Elder acts inappropriately, I can strip her of her negotiation rights.”

Ye Chenʼs eyes flashed, and he didnʼt bother to think further, as he wasnʼt the one going to negotiate.

Disruption could be carried out from the sidelines.

They couldnʼt wait for that Demon Race Great Saint to return. Although Ye Chen was somewhat confident he wouldnʼt be exposed, it was better to be cautious.

”Then letʼs go find the people from the Holy Fist Sect together!” Ye Chen said.

”Your Highness Saki, we can cooperate just fine, why involve the Holy Fist Sect?” Situ Wenhai said.

Ye Chen sneered and said, ”Situ Wenhai, do you know why His Highness sent me to participate in the negotiation? Do you truly think itʼs because of my status as a Demon Race Prince?

Wrong!

Even if I werenʼt a Demon Race Prince, I would still be the most suitable to negotiate because I have a broader perspective. I understand weighing the situation according to the circumstances. Although the Holy Fist Sect isnʼt that great, they at least have a foundation in Cangzhou.

Your Situ Family, and our Demon Race, have an unstable foundation in Cangzhou. Therefore, we need some runners and cannon fodder!

The Holy Fist Sect is most suitable!”

Hearing this, Situ Wenhai felt it made a lot of sense.

Then, Ye Chen led Situ Wenhai to the Holy Fist Sectʼs residence at the Celestial Demon Sect.

They werenʼt looking for Vice Sect Leader Guo Tao, representing the Holy Fist Sect in negotiations, but rather He Jie, a descendant of the Holy Fist Sectʼs Grand Elder who accompanied Guo Tao for exposure!

Upon meeting.

Ye Chen got straight to the point and said, ”He Jie, I wonʼt mince words. Weʼve encountered many disagreements in this alliance negotiation.

The root cause is that the Celestial Demon Sectʼs Sect Leader Liu Qing is shortsighted, constantly seeking benefits for the Celestial Demon Sect, ignoring the interests of our three parties.

Now, our Demon Race and the Situ Family have already discussed it. Your Holy Fist Sectʼs Guo Tao is solely focused on killing Ye Chen to avenge his two sons. He has no intention of negotiating, so I hope you can step up!”

He Jie: ”I...”

”What do you mean ʼIʼ?” Ye Chen rebuked angrily, ”Your status isnʼt low either, but you lack even a bit of composure. How can you accomplish great things in the future? Iʼve heard that since Guo Tian from the Holy Fist Sect was killed by Ye Chen, youʼve had the hope of becoming a key figure in the sect, but itʼs your weakness that caused you to miss that opportunity.

Now is your chance to prove yourself.

Moreover, I donʼt need you to come forward and oppose Guo Tao right now. Letʼs find a place for the three of us to discuss and plan more thoroughly!”

He Jie: ”...”

Ye Chen didnʼt give He Jie a chance to speak, continuing, ”Let me be frank with you. In this alliance negotiation, your Holy Fist Sect is just an auxiliary.

Align with me, and the Holy Fist Sect stands to gain more benefits.

If you associate with Liu Qing, youʼll only get the scraps off the bones after heʼs done.

Of course, you might not care because youʼre just a small figure in the Holy Fist Sect.

Guo Tao? He cares even less. Heʼs just a madman wanting revenge against Ye Chen.”

Situ Wenhai said: ”He Jie, if you have the courage to take this step, I dare say the future of the Holy Fist Sect could be yours!”

From start to finish, He Jie only managed a word before being thoroughly arranged, and with his mind still not caught up, he nodded and said, ”Iʼll discuss the plan with you!”

Letʼs see what happens first.

”Your Highness Saki, why donʼt you share your plan first?” Situ Wenhai said, actually just thinking to take a wait-and-see approach.

Whether itʼs feasible or not, whether to do it or not, will be decided later.

Ye Chen knew full well that it wouldnʼt be so easy to fool someone with mere words into risking their life. But stirring their thoughts was a sufficient start.

”This is the Celestial Demon Sectʼs territory; our every move is being watched. Letʼs find another place to talk,” Ye Chen said.

”We can go out, but we shouldnʼt stray too far from the Celestial Demon Sect,” Situ Wenhai said, ”After all, itʼs a mess everywhere nowadays.”

He Jie nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen said, ”Then letʼs go.”

”Let me bring a few stronger guards,” Situ Wenhai said.

Ye Chen sneered, ”Are you afraid Iʼm going to harm you?”

”Your Highness Saki misunderstands; itʼs just for assurance.”

Ye Chen: ”If you bring people, our plan has no assurance. You canʼt know whatʼs in someoneʼs heart; what if the people you bring are spies for Situ Li?

To prevent any mishaps, I wonʼt bring guards either. Just the three of us, finding a place to conspire.

My status is way above you two. Iʼm not afraid; why should you be?”

Situ Wenhai gritted his teeth and said, ”Then we shouldnʼt delay; letʼs decide quickly!”

Moments later.

The three swaggered out of the Celestial Demon Sectʼs territory, and no one dared to stop them.

Anyway, sneaking out in the Celestial Demon Sectʼs domain would be discovered. Besides, Ye Chen eagerly hoped the Celestial Demon Sect would find out, bringing all parties together for excitement.

Now, everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan, and Ye Chen had prepared several contingency plans for subsequent events.

Just as Ye Chen and the others left, the news immediately reached the ears of the Celestial Demon Sectʼs Sect Leader Liu Qing.

Liu Qing, eight feet tall, burly, with muscles dominating his face, had a rather fierce and fearsome appearance.

”Sect Leader, this Demon Race Saki is acting a bit strange today,” a man said with his head lowered. ”He suddenly approached Situ Wenhai and took He Jie out. I suspect he intends to forge secret agreements beyond the surface-level alliance negotiation.

If the three of them team up, they might force our Celestial Demon Sect into concessions during negotiations, which would be troublesome.”

”Send Ziyang to handle it,” Liu Qing thought for a moment and said, ”Now, among the younger generation of our Celestial Demon Sect, only Ziyang can take on significant responsibilities, so itʼs time to give him some training.”

”Sect Leader, should I go and have a look as well?”

Liu Qing shook his head, saying, ”Saki, Situ Wenhai, and He Jie are all part of the younger generation. No matter how much fuss they make, it wonʼt cause big waves.

Ziyang managing the situation is most suitable. Even if conflicts arise, theyʼll be nothing more than a clash of youthful pride from the younger generation.

Otherwise, if the three of them collectively accuse us of using our might to pressure others, that would be even more troublesome.”

”Sect Leader, I understand!”

......

In the secret chamber at Guardian Li Qingʼs residence in the Celestial Demon Sect, Li Qing, who had just left not long ago, entered once more.

”Great Guardian, whatʼs wrong this time?” Tian Bugui asked.

”Itʼs strange. Saki from the Demon Race, Situ Wenhai from the Situ Family, and He Jie from the Holy Fist Sect, who never interacted before, suddenly joined up and left together. Could this be related to Ye Chen?” Li Qing frowned. Heʼs currently afraid of losing control, associating any abnormality with Ye Chen.

Tian Bugui said, ”Could it be that you think Ye Chen invited them out? Donʼt be ridiculous; Ye Chen is probably hiding in some corner, sneakily causing trouble. That kid is cunning!”

”Maybe Iʼm overthinking,” Li Qing muttered, ”When are you leaving?”

”Iʼll leave now.”

”Arenʼt you waiting for Ye Chen?”

Tian Bugui said, ”No, Iʼm not waiting. Heʼs blessed with fortune, and I, the renowned Bright Holy Saber Tian Bugui, hiding in this little secret chamber, seem out of place.”

Li Qing chuckled, ”Itʼs not your first time hiding here.”

”Iʼm leaving!” Tian Bugui stated, then quietly left the Celestial Demon Sect under Li Qingʼs arrangement.

Once outside the Celestial Demon Sectʼs domain, Tian Buguiʼs eyes shone brightly.

”Ye Chen, impressive that you managed to fool those high-status youngsters out. You want me to kill them, right? Rest assured, Iʼll definitely find and slaughter them all!”

Tian Bugui muttered to himself, full of excitement, as a chance to prove his cleverness and intelligence had arrived!
