Chapter 649 Don’t Seize Wang Lu’s Leadership Improperly (2/2)

On the upper floor of Keeping Immortal Building, Aya was fully satisfied.

The table in the front was a mess of cups and plates. The famous Immortal Chicken and Emperor Jar were naturally there, as well as other rare and delicious delicacies.

”Alas, I have been living in Nine Regions for many years, and my deepest admiration for you guys is about your culinary, which really made people indulge in it.”

Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Lu chuckled and said, ”If you like, this would be your cafeteria. Your strength is no less than a true Supreme, and as a guest, you deserve to enjoy this kind of treatment.”

Aya shook her head. ”It's not necessary. People from all over the place come and go, so this is a crowded place, and to be seen by many people is not good. Moreover, for this kind of delicious food, tasting it once is enough, to covet more is the same as being greedy.”

”Hahaha, you really know how to control yourself.”

… Just as they were talking about the dao of delicious food, w.a.n.g Lu's ears suddenly moved as he heard the conversation from the downstairs.

”Ai, what a pity, that day, the master of Heavenly Book Building was so disgraced and his reputation ruined beyond redemption.”

Hearing that the topic was related to the master of Heavenly Book Building, w.a.n.g Lu took a sip from his cup and concentrated his attention.

Visitors of the Keeping Immortal Building were people from all trades. The upper floors were usually reserved for Supreme level cultivators, while the lower levels could even be frequented by ordinary mortals. However, through the voice, w.a.n.g Lu recognized that they were several cultivators of Jindan and Yuanying Stage, which could be considered as the backbone of the City of Immortal.

”The master of Heavenly Book Building only has himself to blame, what is there to be pitied at?”

”He is, after all, a Supreme level cultivator… How many Supreme level cultivators in the whole Nine Regions could there be? A hundred? Two hundred? What's more, how many people are implicated in the fall of the master of Heavenly Book Building…”

”It's exactly because the number of Supreme is not large that, if such a person has bad intention, the damage caused would be particularly serious. Imagine if he was bought by the Earth Immortals and stab us back in the critical moment, the consequences would be unthinkable.”

”... But the recent work method of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals is indeed too overbearing, which would inevitably lead to a backlash.”

”That's because they have to be overbearing. The strength gap between us and the enemy is so wide that we must unite our forces and resources as quickly as possible or we would definitely lose.”

”Humph, but after being overbearing, is there any difference? Didn't we lose more than we win? Since the start of the Grand Compet.i.tion, there have been more than one hundred matches, could our Union of Ten Thousand Immortals side even manage to win ten? I'm afraid even five is difficult! Since Supreme He Tu and Daoist Master of Non-Phase won in succession, we have been losing the match again and again! The master of Heavenly Book Building questioned the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, it is now without a foundation.”

”Old Xu, you drank too much! How could you say such a thing! Didn't the high levels of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals say several times that currently we need to avoid the sharp edge and acc.u.mulate strength…”

”Acc.u.mulate my a.s.s! It's them who couldn't win, that's why they gave themselves an excuse!”

As soon as his voice fell, someone shouted loudly downstairs, ”Your mother's fart! You're the one who actually spread the rumors and mislead the people here! Could it be that you're one of the accomplishes of the master of Heavenly Book Building? Let me enforce the justice on behalf of heaven for you!”

Then the spells were released, magical treasures clashed as the two people began to fight. However, before long, four Golden Armored Puppet came out to suppress the riot.

—

”Huh, sure enough, the current morale is already shaky. Even if the group who fishes in troubled water is eliminated, the morale would inevitably continue to fall. Even the restaurant patrons are beginning to doubt the prospects, then the prospects are really bad.”

w.a.n.g Lu fiddled with the delicate wine cup in his hand while his brows gradually tightened.

w.a.n.g Wu said, ”Isn't that nonsense? Anyone would inevitably feel impatient after losing badly for a month in succession. Let alone there are still many key matches in this month. You hold back the main forces from the compet.i.tion, which, to put it nicely, could be interpreted as temporarily avoiding the sharp edge, but to put it harshly, people would inevitably suspect that you have no chance at all.”

Aya also said, ”Even if we want to avoid the sharp edge in the early stage, we need some means to stimulate the morale at the appropriate time, so that people could see hope in failure. I suggest you to win a few key matches as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the people's heart.”

w.a.n.g Lu smiled and said, ”I would also like that, but the cards in my hands are limited. In the past hundred matches, do you think I was willing to give up every match? There were at least three matches that I planned to win, but when I sent a few black horses, they were all crushed…”

Upon hearing this, Aya was shocked. ”Is it really that bad?”

”The strength gap is still too big. Especially in this month, those Earth Immortals are going crazy, even the black-clad person had made his move twice. They completely didn't give us any chance… The contestants of Jindan and Yuanying Stage who are currently in the emergency training are making rapid progress, but I think that with the current situation, the odds are at most fifty-fifty. But even if our main force only has fifty percent chance of winning, we might as well give up this Grand Compet.i.tion.”

w.a.n.g Wu asked, ”Do you need me to come out?”

”No need. You are the most stable trump card in my hand, so it would be too wasteful to use you now. Even I, which I considered as a little trump card, must not come out easily…” w.a.n.g Lu said as he went deep in thought. ”No. Now it's time for me to come out. I've been standing behind the scene for so long, it's time for me to go to the front. But I have to properly grasp the timing. The symbolic significance of my position today is extraordinary. Not only I have to win, but I have to win decisively. And not only I have to win decisively, but it's also best if I win after a series of small victories, making it a great victory that turns the situation around. To do this, we need to win a few matches first as a foreshadowing, but who could give me a steady victory?”

While thinking, w.a.n.g Lu subconsciously s.h.i.+fted his gaze and looked at the mess before him. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
