Chapter 809: Take Advantage of the Crisis
Buzz!
A few hundred miles east of Devil Island, inside Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, Qian w.a.n.guan’s token lit up suddenly. After he took a few glances, he was instantly ecstatic as he said, “The 10,000 members of the Luminous Star Legion had been eliminated! Hall Master Nu is requesting for us to continue scouting other legions!”
“Uh…”
Huangfu Taotian and Feng Buxi looked at each other and noticed each other’s surprised expression. How long had it been? It should be less than 30 minutes, right? How many combatants did the Situ Clan send? Could all the experts turn out in full strength?
As everyone was in discussions with Situ Ao, he didn’t state it clearly. The two of them a.s.sumed that it would take at least one hour to eliminate the Luminous Star Legion.
“Ferocious!”
Jiang Yi opened up his eyes, looked at Situ Yixiao with a bitter smile, and said, “Brother Situ, your clan’s experts are too ferocious. Not even one of them is injured after eradicating the Luminous Star Legion. Hall Master Nu’s Heaven Dome Quake is ridiculously powerful!”
Jiang Yi had been releasing his Divine Perception all along, and he had observed the entire battle. The attacks from 20,000 Heaven Monarchs made his heart surging until now. This was the first time he witnessed such a magnificent scene. The combat strength of the Situ Clan’s experts and Situ Nu’s ‘Heaven Dome Quake’, which caused a spatial fluctuation through a hundred miles radius, was truly an eye-opener.
“None of them got injured?”
Feng Buxi and Huangfu Taotian got even more shocked. In fact, they were unable to react immediately as they didn’t expect for the Situ Clan be such a huge deterrence to the bandits. If it wasn’t the Situ Clan’s army, the Luminous Star Legion would have risked their lives to fight back; and the battle wouldn’t have ended so quickly. Furthermore, there would definitely be casualties on this side as well.
Jiang Yi swept a look at the map and pointed at an island which was five million miles away from where they were. “Let’s not talk about that. Brother Situ, send a message to Hall Master Nu. The Waning Moon Legion is about to arrive at Black Devil Island. Request for them to prepare the ambush in the nearby vicinity of Black Devil Island immediately!”
“Alright!”
Situ Yixiao swept a glance at Qian w.a.n.guan while the latter nodded and sent the message quickly.
After sending the message, Qian w.a.n.guan paced around the cabin excitedly and was silently calculating the time while waiting for the battle to end. Jiang Yi closed his eyes again and released the Divine Perception. Even though he was already very exhausted, he had to pay attention to such a huge battle. What if there were other legions in the vicinity?
Thirty minutes later, before Qian w.a.n.guan even received the message, Jiang Yi opened his eyes in advance. His body swayed as he nearly fell onto the ground while Huangfu Taotian helped Jiang Yi up quickly. Jiang Yi let out a weak breath and said, “Four thousand of the Waning Moon Legion had been killed, and six thousand had surrendered. Only a few hundred members of the Situ Clans suffered injuries…”
“Alright!”
Huangfu Taotian yelled out loudly. Two of the four legions had already been eliminated, and after the Scorching Sun Legion was eliminated, the Devil Legion would be like a turtle trapped in a jar and had no choice but to wait for death.
Jiang Yi beckoned his hand while Situ Yixiao brought the map over in a hurry. Jiang Yi squinted his eyes and glanced at the map while his finger trembled as he pointed at the small island nearby and said, “The Scorching Sun Legion is already here. Let Hall Master Nu wait and ambush them at Fire Shadow Island. The Fire Shadow Island is only 500 thousand miles from here, and the aftershocks of the attacks would radiate here. By then, the Devil Legion would surely be alerted. Brother Yixiao, we can carry out the second phase of the plan.”
“Hahaha!”
Situ Yixiao laughed loudly with pleasure while he looked at Jiang Yi with burning eyes. “With Brother Jiang’s divine skill—let alone three bandit legions, we will be able to eliminate 100,000 Heaven Monarchs with ease. Don’t worry Brother Jiang, everything is already prepared. w.a.n.guan, send the orders, mobilize the covert group!”
Feng Buxi and Huangfu Taotian nodded with silent agreement. With Jiang Yi’s divine skill, if any more legions were to come, they would also be coming for death. Of course, it was necessary to have the coordination with the Situ Clan’s Void Transference. Otherwise, not even a group of DemiG.o.ds would be able to travel across millions of miles so quickly. The Divine Perception and the Void Transference were a perfect combination and the most effective weapon to initiate a battle.
Situ Nu had mentioned to Xue Xiong that Jiang Yi now had a status that surpa.s.sed Situ Yixiao in Situ Ao’s heart because of Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception. If Jiang Yi was willing to gift this sorcery art to the Situ Clan, Situ Ao would probably give Jiang Yi anything he wanted.
Qian w.a.n.guan took out a token and sent the message while his tiny eyes were filled with radiance. This time, he had put in a lot of effort to make all the arrangements; and if this battle was a success, Jiang Yi would take the main credit while Qian w.a.n.guan’s contributions would definitely be second to Jiang Yi. It could be seeing how Qian w.a.n.guan had been highly regarded as Situ Yixiao never personally sent the messages and allowed Qian w.a.n.guan to do everything.
The time continued to pa.s.s by bit by bit.
In a moment, the one-hour deadline was about to arrive. Everyone was mentally nervous as this battle wasn’t to eradicate the bandit legions but to rescue the hostages. Jiang Yi’s entire body was s.h.i.+vering as it was a heavy burden to constantly use the Divine Perception for a long period of time. Had it not been for Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei, Jiang Yi would already have collapsed a long time ago.
Buzz!
There was a slight wave motion that came from the south. That wave motion was like a ripple which caused countless members of the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation to s.h.i.+ver while Mo Long and his men standing proudly in the sky—all had a change in expressions.
“Such a powerful spatial fluctuation. What is happening over there?”
Mo Long’s eyes flickered. He promised Feng Lun to wait for one hour because he was waiting for the three legions to arrive for them to eliminate the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation and Jiang Yi together. The time was almost up, but none of the reinforcements were here, and there was an intense spatial fluctuation in the south? Could someone be fighting over there?
“Could the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation have reinforcements?”
Mo Long’s eyes shrank. He gave an eye signal for five of the subordinates to leave quietly and flew to the south while taking advantage of the dark. Since they could feel the shock waves of the battle from here, it meant that the battlefield wasn’t far away.
“What shock wave is this?”
Right at this moment, Feng Lun yelled out with bewilderment, “Mo Long, why is there such intense shock waves from there? Did you hire any reinforcements? Are you thinking of eliminating our merchant a.s.sociation?”
“You and your mother’s bullsh*t!”
Mo Long was startled as he simply cursed back. “I could say that you are the ones that hired reinforcements. Our Devil Legion is enemies with the nearby legions. How could we even hire them?”
“Cut the nonsense!” Feng Lun spoke coldly, “My President has sent the message. We will hand over the 200 billion celestial stones. Release the hostages immediately!”
“Wait a moment!”
Mo Long looked to the south and back at the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p suspiciously. “Wait for my scouts to return. Who knew if you hired any reinforcements?”
The three legions should have already arrived, but none of them were here, and Mo Long naturally wasn’t going to hand over the hostages. Feng Lun didn’t care anymore and snorted. “No, you either hand over the hostages now, or we will start the battle! Who knows if you are transferring people over?”
“Start the battle if you want!”
Mo Long fearlessly took out a giant spiked mace while showing an arrogant and despotic expression. He already knew that the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation wouldn’t dare to start the battle as Jiang Yi’s friends were still with them. If Jiang Yi had appeared here, it was obvious that he wanted to rescue their friends and would stop the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation from starting the battle.
As expected!
Jiang Yi’s voice echoed quickly, “Elder Feng Lun, let’s wait awhile more!”
As time ticked by—one hour later, the five Heaven Monarchs and left earlier; and some scouts returned. They transmitted a message to Mo Long from a distance. “Not good, Vice Commander. The Luminous Star, Scorching Sun, and Waning Moon Legions have unknowingly headed to the south, and they have started a battle. The Scorching Sun and Luminous Star Legions are in pursuit of the Waning Moon Legion. The remnants of the Waning Moon Legion are fleeing in this direction…”
“What?”
Mo Long yelled out involuntarily. The three reinforcements were not attacking the Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation and were actually in a chaotic battle? Could they be acting? Did they have to use trickery to deal with a small Green Bird Merchant a.s.sociation?
“Prepare to attack!”
In the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, Situ Yixiao waved his hand with eyes of excitement. The Thunder Rush Saber appeared in Huangfu Taotian’s hands while he released his divine s.h.i.+eld. Qian w.a.n.guan was so excited that his hands were trembling.
The three legions naturally didn’t go into a chaotic battle. In order to rescue Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei unharmed, they had to make the Devil Legion panic so that they could take advantage of the crisis. This was the plan that Qian w.a.n.guan had plotted with Situ Yixiao.
Right now, the water was already in disorder!
