Chapter 1833 - Deep Sea Crisis (8) (2/2)

“That’s why I have to say that your plan to avoid our lord Devil Master was very successful. You’ve bought yourself a full ten to twelve hours of time!”

“However, I really want to see…” Chi Wuyao’s voice suddenly turned cold and flat as the black mist around her spiraled and the entire area around her turned dark and cold. “Just what you, the Dragon Monarch, can accomplish in this time!”

“Hmph.”

After he let out an incredibly cold snort of disdain, Long Bai looked down on the Deep Sea Divine Region and the might radiating from his eyes threatened to overturn the heavens themselves. “Fine. Very good. Then I will wait twelve hours for him!”

When he said those words, the profound practitioners on both sides simply froze in place.

“My lord Dragon Monarch!” The Crimson Destruction Dragon God exclaimed as he swiveled around to face him. “The Devil Queen’s heart is like a venomous abyss and her words are misleading and bewitching. Don’t let yourself be…”

“Shut up.”

That mild rebuke instantly caused the Crimson Destruction Dragon God to clam up. Even though Long Bai’s voice had been calm and dry, it sent a chill coursing through his heart and soul. “Do you think that a mere Devil Queen is capable of bewitching me?”

The Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s body became as tense as a bowstring as he anxiously replied, “No! I meant no such thing.”

“Dragon Monarch…” Long Yi started to speak, but he was also cut off by Long Bai.

“There is no need for any more words,” Long Bai said in a voice that had started to turn grim. “It isn’t worth sullying the name of our dragon god race over these dark wretches! Since they think that I am afraid of their so-called Devil Master, then I will wait for him to crawl out of his hole!”

“The Dragon Monarch is right!” The Myriad Manifestation God Emperor reacted the quickest and his voice chimed out in agreement. “These dark wretches are merely dark wretches in the end. Even if we have to wait twelve hundred hours rather than twelve hours, what will they be able to accomplish?”

“That’s right,” the Chi Dragon Emperor said. “Let’s use these twelve hours to shatter the last bit of pride and dignity that they have. How can we allow a bunch of filthy devils to sully the name of the Dragon God Realm!?”

Now that two god emperors had agreed, no one else dared to say anything in the face of the Dragon Monarch’s frightening aura.

“Oh?” Chi Wuyao shot Long Bai a lazy glance. “Dragon Monarch, there is no need to push yourself for the sake of this pathetic bit of dignity. What if my lord Devil Master skins you like a snake after he returns? Won’t that be even more shameful and undignified? By the time that happens, it will be far too late to regret this decision.”

Long Bai didn’t even spare her a single glance. He merely turned around and barked out coldly, “No one is to attack within the next twelve hours. Anyone who disobeys my command is to be executed!”

The Dragon Monarch’s heavenly commandment hung in the air like a huge mountain.

This dreadful and illogical imperial command had caused a frightened hush to fall over the forces of the Western Divine Region. No one even dared to take a single step forward, much less attack.

“What’s going on?” the Jade Dragon God whispered. “Could the Dragon Monarch’s soul have been invaded by the Devil Queen?”

“That isn’t possible,” the Pure Dragon God replied. “However, the Dragon Monarch really is acting quite irrationally… and his temperament is rather strange.”

“These dark wretches will definitely use these twelve hours to run away.”

“They won’t,” the Pure Dragon God replied with a calm confidence. “If they wanted to run away, they would have scattered far before we arrived instead of waiting for us in battle formation.”

“Don’t think too much about it,” the Azure Dragon God said. “There is definitely a deep meaning behind the Dragon Monarch’s action. We should just simply obey.”

Long Bai’s back faced the Deep Sea Realm, his cold gaze scanning the sky. However, his hands still remained tensed and he didn’t seem to have relaxed them even once.

He was afraid of Yun Che!?

He was not Yun Che’s equal!?

What a ridiculous joke… What a ridiculous joke!!

He was going to prove to Yun Che, to the world… and, most importantly, to Shen Xi that Yun Che was far from his equal!! He was only fit to struggle, cry, despair, and then die before him!

That’s right, I have to let him taste this world’s cruelest pain and despair.

I will destroy his body, trample his dignity, and destroy all of his “dark wings” and hopes!

However, how could he possibly let Yun Che taste this ultimate despair if he wasn’t around to witness it!?

“Good.” The dark mist around Chi Wuyao stopped swirling as she said in a cold voice, “I hope that you won’t regret this decision when my lord Devil Master returns in twelve hours time.”

After she said that, she simply turned around and left.

“Devil Queen.” Yan Tianxiao and Fen Daoqi swiftly caught up to her, their eyes shining with ardent hope. All of the profound practitioners of the Northern Divine Region were also looking at her as tidal waves crashed through their hearts.

“Remain where you are and quietly await the Devil Master’s return!” Chi Wuyao commanded in a voice so loud that even the Western Divine Region profound practitioners could hear her words clearly. “Within the next twelve hours, no one is to make any moves without my explicit command!”

“Yes!” all the profound practitioners of the north cried out in unison.

Twelve hours… Those few simple words from the Devil Queen had actually created a crazy miracle! They had actually managed to coax another twelve hours from the Dragon Monarch… and it had been as easy as stealing candy from a baby!

They were all too aware of what this twelve hours of time meant for the Northern Region and for the Devil Master who was still inside the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.

“You remain here as well,” Chi Wuyao said to Yan Tianxiao and Fen Daoqi before her voice dropped to a whisper. “Do not do or say anything unnecessary this time. We want to avoid anything that might startle the enemy… Let’s just allow these twelve hours to pass by quietly.”

Yan Tianxiao and Fen Daoqie nodded their heads in unison.

Cang Shitian was just about to speak when Chi Wuyao’s voice rang in his ears. “Cang Shitian, you really didn’t let me down.”

“If the Devil Queen has any other instructions, please feel free to issue them.” The flattery in Cang Shitian’s words was obvious as he bowed at the waist. “Since I have already called myself the Devil Master’s mad dog, then I am naturally the Devil Queen’s mad dog as well.”

Now that things had come to this, he had fully thrown his lot in with Chi Wuyao.

Chi Wuyao stared at the sky. The crack in the Deep Sea Barrier that stretched out like a wound in the sky was shocking to see.

Cang Shitian observed the expression on her face and seemed to understand something after that. He grinned and said, “The Devil Queen is simply brilliant! You set the barrier at thirty percent of its power to arouse the enemy’s suspicion and now that you have bought us another twelve hours of time, it is enough to secretly boost its power from thirty percent to one hundred percent. After that, we can…”

“No,” Chi Wuyao said. “Maintain the barrier without any changes. What you need to do next is to get the remaining seventy percent ready, so that it can be… unleashed in an instant.”

“?” A puzzled look appeared on Cang Shitian’s face.

“...” Chi Wuyao’s lips moved as she calmly whispered four words.

Light immediately erupted from Cang Shitian’s eyes as he crowed in delight, “The Devil Queen is brilliant! Oh, the Devil Queen is brilliant! Hahahaha!”
