742 The Steady Road (1/2)
”No way. The Holy Alliance cowards actually retreated and took possession of the Infinite Star Sea!” Seeing the Lord of Heaven Black Turtle completely dejected, Zhou Bao's mouth stretched into a smile. There was no way he could have expected the situation to come to this, that the so-called leader of the three largest influences in the hollow, the Holy Alliance, would retreat so easily and completely.
”There are indeed some problems with this, but if you think about it, it is not impossible. According to Lin Feng, the Jade Dragon World and the Celestial Pool World are below-average macro worlds. There are also problems within the Holy Alliance itself. So if you look at it this way, it seems that our power in the Heaven Realm World exceeded their expectations, and it made sense for them to retreat.”
”Made sense?” Zhou Bao looked at the Fate Creation Boy and thought to himself. ”Is this really happening? We cannot allow them to trick us and then take the opportunity to raid us when we're not paying attention!”
”Actually, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation has been laid out. They intended to raid, but they cannot. What is there to worry about?” The Fate Creation Boy shook his head. ”I am very familiar with how the Realm Lords commanding the macro worlds think. They have the same flaw as that father-in-law of yours, they are too caught up in the losses and gains, too scared of death, too calculating. It wouldn't be so strange for them to make this kind of decision!”
”So this means that the Infinite Star Sea couldn't stop them!”
”Of course they couldn't stop them!” The Black Turtle had a look of trepidation. ”More than a hundred thousand Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, who could stop that? Three days, it took just three days for them to wipe out the influence of fourteen macro worlds in the Celestial Ocean Sky Area and the Purple Scorpion Sea Area of the Infinite Star Sea! Although my Secret Store is considered a good foundation, there's no way it could have any effect in the Infinite Star Sea!”
”Even if they were to occupy the Infinite Star Sea, they wouldn't be able to control it entirely because of the Primordial Demon, right?”
”Do you think the men of the Holly Alliance are really that stupid? Of course, they cannot afford to encounter the Primordial Demon! It would cause them so much bad luck if they aggravated it!” The Black Turtle composed himself and spoke more quietly. ”The Holy Alliance is one of the three largest influences in the hollow. The Primordial Demon is obviously no stranger to them. There are ways of dealing with them, but that's not for us to worry about. My worry is that once they're done with wiping the Infinite Star Sea out, are we their next target?”
”The fact that they took out the Infinite Star Sea, shows that they know themselves well. We were the initial target, but they settled for second best. They just wanted to justify themselves. No matter how ugly this justification is, when it is done, the Holy Alliance will not bicker too much. The only thing left would be a personal grudge!”
”A personal grudge? You mean, the two Young Realm Masters we got rid of?”
”That's right, the two Young Realm Masters we got rid of. This time they've chosen to avoid the wrath of our Heaven Realm World for a while. But this doesn't mean that they don't want to avenge their son's death, they're just waiting for the right opportunity!”
”I won't give them a chance!”
”Hmph. Think again! When they wiped out the Infinite Star Sea, their experiment was already finished. The Holy Alliance is one of the three influences of the hollow. When they finished their experiment, it meant that the influences in the hollow were done with their experiment on us. They won't try again for a short while, but after that, they will really go after us!”
”Really go after us?” Zhou Bao blinked and laughed. ”I don't deal with this kind of thing!”
”I never considered making you deal with this kind of thing. Your approach to dealing with things has always been rough and brutal, not appropriate for this situation. However, your father-in-law is a very suitable person.”
”In other words, this has nothing to do with me from now on?”
”Unless force is needed to deter them, you won't be needed for this.”
”That's fine. But I risked life and limb for the Heaven Realm World, fought until I was injured all over!” exclaimed Zhou Bao, seeming very happy about it. ”Since I'm not involved anymore, can I go?”
”Yes, go! If something happens I'll have Black Turtle come and get you. Anyway, the Infinite Star Sea has been completely wiped out, so he won't be involved anymore!” The Fate Creation Boy pointed, laughing at the helpless Black Turtle.
”That's right. The Infinite Star Sea was finally destroyed!”
Deep in the hollow, the leader of the Holy Alliance smiled weakly when he heard news of the choice the Celestial Pool World and the Jade Dragon World had made.
”Indeed, they chose to back down as we expected!”
”I would have backed down as well. When the enemy's strength is unknown, I wouldn't let my subordinates send a child, let alone go myself to my own death!”
”In that case, there's no other way. Think of a way to contact the Heaven Realm World. They have the skill to force the Holy Alliance fleet to leave, this means the Heaven Realm World is still qualified to make their voices heard in the hollow. As such, they are obligated to their task!”
