Chapter 206. Intrigues and Conspiracy (2)
Sir Guang Lingzi dragged down the Exalt Jin Can with his own strength, which made the Towering Ocean Breaking Array in the Ming State a little bit weaker. The Supreme Master Jian Xiao led all the cultivators to break through the array and gathered the spiritual power of thousands of them to resist with the demons in the array. The same happened in the Zhao State and Cen State.
Most of the top human cultivators were trapped between the three states and the Northern Land of Arctic, unable to move southwards. The demon sent the armies of five oceans. The seventh, Eighth and Ninth Ocean forces were all used to maintain the Towering Ocean Breaking array, while the armies of the other two oceans were fighting against the cultivators who wanted to back the three states.
The demon had only one purpose-hold the powerful masters of human.
Human had never been so passive.
Xuan Lingzi was trapped in the Northern Land of Arctic, and the majority of the most powerful cultivators were also there. Besides, the Northern Land of Arctic was not a safe place either, as another disaster could occur anytime. On the other hand, the Fiend Exalt was conducting the closed-door cultivation, unable to go out.
In such a critical situation, the demon carried out a rapid surprise attack almost out of their whole strength.
Outside the Ming State, Exalt Jin Can was captured again. He got wounded all over and was strangled by Guang Lingzi. Suddenly, Jin Can showed his true color-he was transformed into a giant turtle with a length of a kilometer. It struggled to escape back to the array, yet Guang Lingzi stopped it by stepping on its shell.
Guang Lingzi asked, “You old bastard, open the array now!”
The Exalt Jin Can suddenly changed his look as if he reminded something terrible, “I would rather die then!”
Guang Lingzi said coldly, “What are you plotting!”
The Exalt Jin Can laughed out, “You ignorant, stupid little bloke. How can you perceive the brilliant plan of the Great Exalt Yin Ji?”
When Luo Jianqing and Sir Yu Qingzi reached the Ming Sate, they saw the scene of Sir Guang Lingzi stepping on the giant turtle, which was quite arrogant and rampant. He shrank back to his shell, so even if the was captured, Sir Guang Lingzi had no way to kill him.
Luo Jianqing couldn’t help frowning as he listened to the turtle.
currently, the demon drew this large array along the Chong Cheng Mountain Range in the Cen State, Ming State and Zhao State, which blocked the way of the top cultivators who wanted to go north. Meanwhile, they particularly sent two armies to prevent the human cultivators who planned to go north and directly attack the Demon Realm.
Guang Lingzi said that the Towering Ocean Breaking Array was not simply large. Millions of demons must have sacrificed for it, as to draw such a large array spanning three states required tremendous resentment and countless flesh and blood, or more specifically, flesh and blood of their own clan. That was the only way to form the power of karma.
After all these sacrifices, they just wanted to block the assistance of top human cultivators?
If so, why they chose these three states? Gui Yuan Sect was based in the Cen State, and Fei Hua Sect was based in the Ming State and Zhao state. If they drew the array in these three states, there was no possibility to avoid the confrontation with these two sects.
The demon blocked the way to the south, slaughtered the residents of the Yun State, attacked the Fiend Realm from the Thirteenth Ocean, and…
Luo Jianqing abruptly stood up and looked at Sir Guang Lingzi with astonishment, “Sir, what did you say just now?”
Sir Guang Lingzi was stunned at first, and other great powers present also turned to Luo Jianqing with surprise. In fact, Luo Jianqing was not qualified to enter this place in terms of his realm. However, he was the Chief Disciple of the Tai Hua Mountain and also the disciple of trapped Xuan Lingzi, so he gained this privilege.
Guang Lingzi thought for a while and said, “I just said that we might have another way out. Now it seems that the demon is blocking our way, but from another perspective, we have also sieged them. Currently, the frontline is divided into four sections. The area beyond the Thirteenth Ocean has always been the base of the demon, so we just set it aside for now. The current four sections, the Fiend Realm, Yun State, Cen State, Zhao State and Ming State are under our control, so the Fiend Palace, Gui Yuan Sect and Fei Hua Sect are fighting against the demon in these places. Yin Ji gathered the strength of the five oceans to set up such a large array to block our way. However, in fact, we also hold back their pace.”
Then, Sir Guang Lingzi pointed to the direction of the Cen State: “If we can break through array in the Cen State with the help of the Gui Yuan Sect, we can break the deadlock at one stroke. Tomorrow, the cultivators of Duan Hun Sect will join us. We can let them fight in the Ming State and Zhao State as a cover for us.”
Sir Guang Lingzi was rough in appearance but meticulous in mind.
In any war in the world, if there was no overwhelming advantage that could control the whole situation, we should then paid more attention to strategy. Unless you could beat the enemy to death with one hand or absolutely powerful strength, strategy was a crucial factor in a war.
However, Luo Jianqing shook his head slightly and looked at him with a serious face after hearing his words. Sir Guang Lingzi frowned slowly and asked, “What’s wrong, Jianqing? You think it’s not feasible?”
Luo Jianqing had furrowed his nice eyebrows tight. He pointed to a direction and said with a serious tone, “Why does the demon stop us with so much cost? It seems that they don’t want us to support the Yun State and try to trap our masters in the Chong State and Northern Land of Arctic. However, under such a enormous cost for this array, they cannot maintain it for long, so they clearly know that trapping us is not a permanent solution.”
Guang Lingzi said, “Then you mean…”
“They’re buying time…and they trap those masters for only one reason. Why did they slaughter the Yun State? Why did they occupy the Yun State? Why did they set up this large array? Because they have to hinder the support of human cultivators. When the array collapses, they will retreat to the Yun State and defend until death.”
Guang Lingzi goggled at him with great shock, “But why…”
In the remote Demon Realm, the seductive Exalt Yin Ji was stroking her lips and smiling, “You ask me why I did that?”
The Exalt Hao Ming nodded and said, “I will follow your plan to go to the Fiend Realm, but you should tell me why I have to do that with so many troubles, even with that Towering Ocean Breaking Array. A lot of our demons sacrificed for it, and I have heard many resentments from our subordinates.”
Yin Ji smiled gorgeously and looked up, “Don’t you want to kill the little Qianqiu?”
Hao Ming curled up his eyebrows, “If I could, I would have done that one hundred years ago.”
Yin Ji laughed out, “Xuan Lingzi was trapped in the Northern Land of Arctic, giving us a wonderful opportunity. When my soldiers slaughter the Yun State, it will be connected with the Thirteenth Ocean, and the Fiend Realm will be sieged in between. Under such circumstances, conquering the Fiend Realm will be as easy as falling off a log. You cannot kill him in one day, two days, what about I give you a year, a decade, or a century?”
Hao Ming was suddenly baffled.
As Yin Ji slowly rose, her light green gauze robe slid down, exposing her voluptuous body. She looked beautiful, but her words were cruel: “As long as the grand battle between human and demon continues, the Fiend Realm will be forever besieged by us. Once Mo Qianqiu dies, even if Xuan Lingzi gets out of the Northern Land of Arctic, he is unable to stop the armies of us anymore! At that time, we, the four exalts can drag him down, and millions of our demon armies will easily eliminate human!”
In the Demon Realm, Yin Ji smiled coldly; outside the Ming State, Luo Jianqing wore a grave face.
They said unanimously-
“All of these is to occupy the Yun State and besiege the Fiend Realm. We (they) will seize the opportunity to force into the Fiend Realm and kill the Fiend Exalt!”
