Chapter 851: Mutual Apprehension
He disappeared.
Ye Zichen stepped into the sky. Before he'd even finished speaking, he'd vanished from their line of sight.
He'd completely disappeared.
As soon as he'd disappeared, Black Dragon spread out his spiritual awareness to investigate.
They'd fought so many times, he subconsciously believed this to be one of Ye Zichen's tricks. As a result, he didn't dare make a single move during the fifteen minutes he'd been gone.
At the same time, he warned his clansmen to be careful.
He scanned the area with his spiritual awareness over and over again. In order to avoid any slip-ups, he didn't even spare a single leaf.
But he really couldn't find it.
"Brother Su."
Black Dragon was at a loss for what to do. His gaze instinctively landed on Su Yiyun, who sat in a chair beside him. His hair was white.
He seemed even older than before. His murky eyes seemed to carry a faint sense of the vicissitudes of life.
He was like an old man who'd experienced the vicissitudes of life. He'd seen through the fickleness of the world.
His body trembled slightly as he sat on the chair. The weather was not particularly hot, but it made him sweat profusely. Whenever a light breeze brushed past, he could smell a faint stench.
The Five Signs of Decay! His time was up!
"Ye Zichen suddenly …. Cough cough …." Before he could finish, Su Yiyun started coughing violently. His hands trembled as he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, then wiped the drool from the corners of his mouth. He smiled weakly. "That kid …. He's full of tricks. We can't not be on guard against his sudden disappearance."
His words resonated with Black Dragon's. In truth, he was thinking the same thing.
"Brother Su, you're absolutely right. I also think he's up to no good. That's why I didn't order our clansmen to attack recklessly. Instead, I used my spiritual awareness to investigate, but …."
From his expression, Su Yiyun could tell that he hadn't found anything.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with trembling hands, then slowly said, "That can only mean you weren't careful enough.
"Then you can only say that you didn't check carefully. Let's think of it this way. With his identity, he will definitely fight with us to the end. There's only one possibility for his sudden disappearance: he's currently somewhere we can't find. He's spying on us, and while we're unprepared …. He'll deal us a fatal blow. "
"Then according to what Brother Su says …."
"Let's wait."
Su Yiyun said without any hesitation. Black Dragon clenched his teeth and looked down at Maple City with a frown, as well as Luo Wei and co., who didn't panic at all after Ye Zichen disappeared. Instead, they merely looked at them cautiously …
"Alright, we'll do as Brother Su says." With that, Black Dragon noticed that Su Yiyun was sweating profusely. He furrowed his brows and shouted to the demons beside him, "Block the sun for me! Shade Grandmaster Su!"
"Yes."
Immediately, two groups of people walked out and stood side by side, completely blocking the sunlight that shone on them.
"Thanks."
Su Yiyun was as weak as ever. Li Min 'e stood behind him, tears welling up in her eyes. Black Dragon sighed inwardly when he heard this.
"Brother Su, for the sake of my demon race … I can only do what I can for Brother Su now."
"That's enough." Su Yiyun smiled calmly, then closed his eyes.
The demons who'd emerged from the spatial transfer formation stood motionlessly in the sky. Luo Wei and the others did the same.
To tell the truth, they were a bit dumbfounded by Ye Zichen's sudden disappearance.
During their discussion, Ye Zichen hadn't told them he'd do anything else. During their discussion, Ye Zichen's suggestion was to defend to the death and wait for reinforcements ….
But now, he'd suddenly disappeared.
"Father." The city lord's son, Luo Yang, knit his brows and looked up at the demons. He transmitted to Luo Wei. "Why did Emperor Ye suddenly disappear?"
"I'm not sure," replied Luo Wei. Luo Wei stared at the demon and transmitted his voice to him. "But no matter what, we must learn to deal with the myriad of changes by remaining unchanging. In this situation, the demons hold the advantage. If they don't move, we won't move either. Let's wait for reinforcements. "
Luo Yang nodded, but Lin Ru had already sent out the signal.
"Why did he disappear?"
As the Master of the Laws, she was naturally certain that Ye Zichen was no longer in the Three Realms. She furrowed her brows in astonishment before nodding her head in understanding.
"He's too scheming, isn't he? No wonder he insisted on having me come. Damn it, if you wanted to go to the Struggle for the Three Realms, just go. Why did you have to make me stay here and guard this mess for you? "
Lin Ru couldn't help but curse. The demons in the sky ran up to Black Dragon's side.
"Your Excellency, the enemy sent out a signal."
"That's definitely a signal to summon their allies." Black Dragon knit his brows. "Brother Su, should we keep waiting? Right now, Maple City's defenses are weak. Why don't we take advantage of this and take it all in one fell swoop? If we wait for reinforcements to arrive, we won't have the upper hand. "
"Idiot."
Su Yiyun didn't even need to think about it before berating him. However, his voice was still very weak.
"Ye Zichen might have calculated that you'd think this way after seeing the signal, which is why he suddenly disappeared. If we really attack and he reappears with a surprise weapon in hand, what should we do? Black Dragon, we only have one chance. We have to be extremely careful. We can't afford to be careless! "
Black Dragon's initial reprimand turned into earnest persuasion later on. When these words reached his ears, his desire to send out troops was suppressed once again.
He pursed his lips and nodded, then gnashed his teeth.
"Brother Su, you've thought things through. Hmph, so what if their reinforcements arrive? I still don't care about them."
"It's good that you think that way," said Su Yiyun, somewhat out of breath. "You have to consider everything carefully. You can't always be impulsive. You control the entire demon race, and your words and actions affect the lifeline of the entire demon race. I …. I don't have much time left. You …. "
"Brother Su, say no more. Once I conquer the Three Realms, I'll definitely find precious herbs and pills to prolong your life."
Black Dragon clenched Su Yiyun's hand tightly. He could feel how violently Su Yiyun's hand was trembling.
"Brother Su, you have to hold on."
"What's there to hold on for? Forget it, my time is up. There's no point in holding on." Su Yiyun shook his head and laughed. "I know my body best. I came with you this time because I was afraid you'd be too impulsive. With me here, I can at least keep you in check. Secondly, I want to see you take over the Three Realms with my own eyes. I also want …. to leave this ruined body of mine on the battlefield. "
With that, Su Yiyun spread his palms, looked deeply into Black Dragon's eyes, and sighed.
