Chapter 1799 - The War Between Ying and Zhi (1/2)
“I have also sent people into the Western Divine Region to pay full attention to the movements of the Dragon God Realm. However, the Dragon God Realm has remained strangely quiet and there are no overt signs of any movement taking place there. This honestly puzzles me a little.”
“Logically speaking, even if the Dragon Monarch is abroad, they will still be compelled to respond to such a huge matter.” Cang Shitian expressed both his opinion and suspicions unreservedly as a demonstration of his ability and his loyalty to Yun Che.
After he finished speaking, he covertly snuck a look at Yun Che to see his reaction. Unfortunately for him, he discovered that Yun Che’s expression hadn’t changed at all.
The wheels in his head turned before he continued speaking, “Your Magnificence, the silence of the Dragon God Realm is actually rather unsettling. I will immediately mobilize all the spies I have in the Western Divine Region to observe the Dragon God Realm for any movement. Also, while the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm has been faithfully fulfilling your commands, we have also been preparing our troops and resources. Thus, we will be able to immediately rally to your command with all of our forces the moment conflict erupts with the Dragon God Realm.”
“Your troops?” Yun Che swept his eyes over Cang Shitian before giving a soft snort. “There’s no need for them. Whether it’s the Southern Divine Region or the Eastern Divine Region, I only have two expectations of you lot. The first is to prostrate yourself obediently before me and the second is to not stab me in the back. As for your help? I desire none of it, especially if it’s from your Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm.”
The Eastern Divine Region had been pacified and the Southern Divine Region had been suppressed, so they wouldn’t pose any threat to him during the final fight against the Western Divine Region.
However, to use them in battle…
The only king realm that could be relied upon in the Eastern Divine Region was the Brahma Monarch Realm controlled by Qianye Ying’er. The Star God Realm may also be of use, but the upper star realms were mostly useless.
As for the Southern Divine Region? Adding them to his troops would only be detrimental to the cause.
Being trampled and defeated did not only produce feelings of submission and fear, it also produced feelings of discontent and resentment. Turning the star realms of the Eastern Divine Region and Southern Divine Region would take a long time. At the very least, it would be impossible for him to do so before the war with the Western Divine Region.
Forcefully pushing them into battle would only result in them becoming the greatest vulnerabilities in his forces, a group of wild cards who could backstab him at any time.
They could only be used as fodder.
In the fight against the Western Divine Region, he would have to ultimately rely on his own strength once more.
Cang Shitian’s expression turned somber as he fell to his knees and exclaimed, “Your Magnificence! It is indeed not beneficial for you to use the other realms, but I, Shitian, am devoted to you, the heavens and earth be my witness! If you are still worried, I can even swear a venomous oath right now…”
“A venomous oath? There’s no need for that.” A cold smile of contempt flitted across Yun Che’s face. “There’s nothing more cheap and worthless in the world as that. The only thing you need to do is to obediently listen to me and do your work well by managing things in the Southern Divine Region. I said that I would spare you, so I naturally won’t go back on my word.”
“Yes, I understand,” Cang Shitian hurriedly replied. “Shitian definitely won’t let you down. I will keep constant tabs on the Xuanyuan Realm and Purple Micro Realm. If we detect any strange movement there, Your Magnificence will be the first to know.”
At this time, Yun Che’s right eyebrow suddenly twitched. He waved a hand and an orb that radiated a strange and bewitching light appeared. A thick and heavy sound transmission profound formation immediately spread out from that orb once it appeared.
When Cang Shitian probed the sound transmission profound formation with his senses, he immediately deduced that it was an extremely high-level one which could transmit messages across regions. He immediately said, “Shitian will take his leave first. If Your Magnificence has any instructions for me, please feel free to call upon your servant.”
After he finished speaking, he swiftly retreated and left his imperial hall. He maintained his posture of respect even as he flew very far away.
After Cang Shitian left, Qianye Ying’er gently pushed against the air with her hand and swiftly erected a sound isolation barrier. Once she did that, Yun Che immediately activated the sound transmission profound formation.
The voice of the Eighth Witch Yu Wu rang out from the profound formation.
“Reporting to the Devil Master. The attention of the Dragon God Realm has successfully been drawn to the west. Meanwhile all of our core forces have begun to secretly move toward the south. Our initial movement will not be fast, but we will definitely be able to link up with you within the span of ten days.”
“Very good,” Yun Che said appreciatively. “Is there any news from the Dragon God Realm?”
“Master wants me to tell the Devil Master that the Dragon Monarch will only be returning to his realm after two months have passed. As such, the Dragon God Realm won’t make any grand movements until then.”
Looks of stunned amazement appeared on the faces of Yun Che, Qianye Ying’er, and Caizhi at the exact same moment.
The Dragon God Realm’s most normal and logical reaction to their killing of the Ash Dragon God should have been furious rage. Even if the Dragon Monarch was absent, their response shouldn’t be to wait for an entire two months.”
“How does the Witch Queen know that the Dragon Monarch will return in…” Yun Che already remembered the answer to his question before he finished it.
Chi Wuyao had definitely gleaned this information from Zhou Xuzi, whose soul she had secretly hijacked.
Given Zhou Xuzi’s level of personal power and his previous status, he would naturally be allowed to be in close contact with the Dragon Gods. Furthermore, even if the Dragon Gods didn’t trust anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t ever suspect Zhou Xuzi. After all, no one would dare say that they hated Yun Che more than Zhou Xuzi.
What’s more, this spy didn’t even know that he was a spy!
Thus, it was very likely that Chi Wuyao had used Zhou Xuzi to deliver a strange message that convinced the Dragon Gods to stay their hand for two months.
Yun Che immediately switched topics instead of continuing from where he left off. “Since we can confirm that the Dragon God Realm won’t make any big moves, is there a need for us to so carefully conceal our movement to the south?”
Yu Wu replied, “Even though the Dragon God Realm won’t make any big moves, they’re not going to let the Ash Dragon God’s death go. Master did not want Your Magnificence to find out about this originally, but she suddenly changed her mind before she left.”
“Master said that the feint toward the north has lured over two Dragon Gods. She is going out to meet them in battle.”
“Which two?” Yun Che asked with furrowed brows. The words “did not want Your Magnificence to find out about this originally” suddenly caused him to feel uneasy.
“The Pure Dragon God and the Crimson Destruction Dragon God.”
The air instantly froze as the look on Qianye Ying’er’s jade face dramatically changed. She immediately exclaimed, “What!?”
“Hurry up and stop her!” Qianye Ying’er exclaimed in a serious voice. “She’s not the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s match… even if she is Chi Wuyao.”
Qianye Ying’er instantly understood Chi Wuyao’s goal.
If the Dragon God Realm messed up their revenge strike against the devils, it would result in a huge loss of face and further enrage them. Therefore, if Chi Wuyao managed to beat the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, the strongest Dragon God in the Dragon God Realm and the person who was inferior only to the Dragon Monarch himself, in a one on one duel, it would deal an incomparably huge blow to the confidence and conviction of the Dragon God Realm and the Western Divine Region.
