932 Unexpected Battle Situation (1/2)

”Unless he is not Meng Tian!” Yun Qingwu frowned again at this point in time as she stretched her hand out to get her teacup before she realized that it was already cold.

”Young Lord, you think so too?” Lin Yu saw Yun Qingwu's actions and quickly ran to the table. He poured away the cold water from the teacup and refilled the teacup with the hot water from the kettle.

Yun Qingwu did not bother reaching for the water. She stood up slowly and took a few steps out of the palace.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu followed her.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stopped in front of the door of the palace and looked at the hazy sky.

”It's just a guess.” Yun Qingwu's voice was not loud but there was a tinge of sigh.

”In order to confirm my guess, I have to make a trip to the Northern Mountain Village.” Although Lin Yu did not know Yun Qingwu for a very long time, he could already somewhat read Yun Qingwu's mind.

Fang Zhengzhi!

It was an ordinary name but it was viewed highly in Yun Qingwu's eyes.

”Northern Mountain Village? It's alright.” Yun Qingwu was deep in thought. Then, she shook her head lightly and said, ”If we cannot figure out, then we shall wait.”

”Understood.” Lin Yu nodded.

He understood what Yun Qingwu meant. Although Meng Tian's real ident.i.ty was unknown, he was relatively insignificant.

Regardless of whether he is real, the bigger picture would not be affected by one person.

Moreover, the Monster Race and Demon Race had invaded a large region of the Holy Region and set up traps all over the region. Therefore, they did not need to overthink.

After all, the Monster Race and Demon Race was already at an advantageous position.

Although waiting was not the best choice, waiting could mean ”no changes” in some occasions so as to deal with the ever-changing situation.

”Are there any updates from the Heaven Zen Mountain?” Yun Qingwu asked casually after remaining silent for a while.

”Hmm, two more G.o.dly State experts of the Demon Race had descended. Now we have placed five 'obvious piles' and three 'hidden piles' in the Holy Region. We just need to wait for three months before the first step of Young Lord's plan can be successfully achieved,” Lin Yu replied.

”I don't think it would be so successful.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

”Where do you think will go wrong? There should not be a problem with the Ling Xiao Mountain, even if there is, it would only be limited to the 'Ling Yun Tower'. Unless Young Lord thinks that there is something wrong with Meng Tian?”

”The peace before the storm is always the most dangerous.” Instead of answering Lin Yu directly, Yun Qingwu mumbled to herself.

Lin Yu frowned again. He somewhat understood what Yun Qingwu meant but was not entirely sure.

Of course, he could clarify.

However, Lin Yu did not like to clarify in such a straightforward manner. He preferred to ponder over it. This was one of the main reasons why Yun Qingwu kept him by her side.

There are no perfect individuals.

This was said by Yun Qingwu. She hoped that Lin Yu could remind herself that because every intelligent individual had to have such a person beside him or her.

Besides that, Lin Yu was more than happy to do so.

Just as Lin Yu was pondering over Yun Qingwu's words, a figure appeared from the haze. He was wearing a black cloak but moved very quickly.

”Is it an urgent report at this timing?” Yun Qingwu asked.

”Urgent report?” Lin Yu could not react for a moment but he moved as he saw the approaching figure.

Without any hesitation, he stood in front of Yun Qingwu and pointed at the forehead of the approaching figure.

”Young Lord, urgent… urgent report!” The figure fell to his knees five foot away from Yun Qingwu, revealing himself as a General of the Demon Race who was dressed in armor.

”At such a late timing? Hurry tell us what urgent report you've got!” Lin Yu dropped his finger after seeing the face of the General.

”Meng… Meng Tian is here!”

”Meng Tian?! Where is he?” Lin Yu was evidently shocked but his expression returned to a calmed one very quickly.

”He appeared at the Heaven Dao Pavilion. This… This information came from the Heaven Dao Pavilion!” The General raised a small envelope above his head as he spoke.

”Young Lord.” Lin Yu took over the envelope from the General and turned to pa.s.s the envelope to Yun Qingwu.

”Heaven Dao Pavilion?” Yun Qingwu opened the envelope and frowned as she scanned through the words on the letter. However, soon after, her frown disappeared. ”From the Southern Region, Heaven Dao Pavilion… is indeed the closest boundary of the Southern Region and Great Xia!”

”But why didn't he head to the 'Ling Xiao Mountain' directly? Unless he wants to kill all the soldiers who are guarding the Heaven Dao Pavilion?”

”Perhaps.” Yun Qingwu raised her hand and the letter turned into ashes.

”Looks like… Meng Tian wants to kill us one by one?” Lin Yu smiled in disdain.

”Do you think Meng Tian will do that?” Yun Qingwu asked.

”I actually hope that it was his plan, because he would no longer be terrifying.” A cold gaze flashed across Lin Yu's eyes.

Meanwhile, the General who was kneeling in front of Yun Qingwu and Lin Yu was confused.

'Kill us one by one', 'no longer be terrifying'?

This two phrases…

Were definitely ironic.

After all, he felt that this type of opponent was the hardest to deal with because he could attack you anytime from the back.

”Young Lord, Demon Deity, should we…”

”Do not bother about him. If Meng Tian wants to kill us one by one, let him be,” Lin Yu replied without waiting for Yun Qingwu to speak.

”Ah? Then Heaven Dao Pavilion… Young Lord?” The General was clearly confused. After a slight hesitation, he turned to look at Yun Qingwu.

”Hmm, follow Demon Deity Lin Yu's orders.” Yun Qingwu did not bother explaining but instead nodded her head and walked out of the palace in the direction of the stone room.

Lin Yu followed closely.

However, he maintained a feet's distance away and followed quietly as though he was her shadow.

The General looked at Lin Yu and Yun Qingwu with his mouth agape. He wanted to make some comments but eventually shut his mouth tight.

”Yes!” The General left quickly after taking the order.

However…

When he left, he saw a figure, who was dressed almost identically as him, scurrying in the haze. He was heading towards Yun Qingwu's direction.
