Chapter 185: Sensing
Before explaining the details of the battle, Elder Li gave a brief explanation of the cause and effect of the matter.
That is, Yang Sheng is now suppressing his power… The reason is that he has to wait until he has enough power to erupt again, because before he has enough power, he dares not easily open the upper realm… and he doesn’t want to foolishly provoke the legendary “immortals” behind the iron rule.
What he wants is to burst out his power in one go and then completely accomplish his feat of opening up Kunlun.
Therefore, in this plan, the conclusion is that Yang Sheng is not yet showing his full power… he has been suppressing his own power.
“In fact, this battle of ours is only the first battlefield… After we have achieved victory… the second battlefield will be a few teams composed of various forces mixed with secular forces, which will split up to raid their several strongholds… where there is a reserve of this liquid… and secretly trafficked human beings! Everyone knows what they are doing… The reason why we have to wait until we win is because there are secular forces mixed in… As for the reason, everyone knows that they need them for the surface operations, and the secular forces will wait until there is a victory, which is a good reason to do so. Company A can only suffer a silent loss.” Elder Li explained.
As for why the battlefield was chosen in such a strange place… it actually has to do with a saying.
To reach Kunlun, first find Penglai… That lonely temple in the no-man’s land… is actually quite famous… It is the place where the first holy monk of the Lagang Temple passed away… and also the place where he first practiced.
It is said that it has something to do with Penglai… Yang Sheng has already obtained a sacred object… He is going to find Penglai first with his elite troops.
A sacred object? I remembered what Master Chen Chengyi had said: in a certain temple, there is a sacred object that we must obtain… It is the sacred object that opens Penglai. Could it be…
Before I could say anything, Master Jiang had already spoken up: “Heaven’s will! I never thought that Yang Sheng had already obtained the holy relic… It seems that this battle will have to be fought even if it doesn’t have to be!”
“Yes… this information is the most valuable of all the information… that Yang Sheng will take all the elites in his plan to go out… and even several of the top executives of Company A have also gone out. Although we don’t know why Yang Sheng has to do this… after all, he previously wanted to hunker down his forces and delay the time… why would he take such a risky move. But the fear is that we won’t be able to wait for him to come out… but rather because of the iron rule to stop all the fighting, that would be the worst case, and we can’t afford to wait.” Elder Li said with deep concern.
I frowned… Wasn’t Yang Sheng waiting for his power to burst forth? Why was he so anxious to find Penglai… Penglai is associated with Kunlun, and he wasn’t in a hurry to open Kunlun yet?
My mind was racing… and suddenly I remembered a memory… a most powerful Kunlun spirit, in Penglai… is this related?
But I couldn’t guess what the connection was.
This is probably all the information that the Snow Mountain clan has. The next meeting was about the arrangements for the war.
Basically, the older generation of elites will be called upon to fight, while the younger generation, especially those with potential, will be kept in the dark.
Of course, there are also situations like the one with the Li clan. These forces have jointly nominated more than a dozen young people… all because of the results of the Snow Mountain clan’s divination… in this battle, the new blood will replace the old blood… after the baptism of the battle, new pillars will emerge.
The various tactical arrangements for the war are complicated… After all, this is a “battle” in which the best of the best are brought together, and such things are not common in history.
Hundreds of the older generation of the righteous forces… Think about it, this is a huge force… After all, these are not ordinary people, they are cultivators…
On the Yang Sheng side, since the intelligence is not 100% accurate, everything can only be estimated… Therefore, there is no way to speculate on the scale of this battle…
The meeting went on for several hours… Various tactics and details were constantly added to the meeting… In a battle like this, the overall strength will inevitably clash at the beginning… It will only be a more tragic individual battle in the later stages…
In short, just listening to the tactical arrangements, one can already feel the cruelty of it.
By the end of the meeting, the hourglass on the table had been repeatedly turned upside down several times… and it had run out again… At this point, all the arrangements had been made, and I summarized them before the meeting was adjourned.
The top management of each major force left one after another… Time was running out, and before this battle that might be fatal… they had their own things to deal with. There were not many people like me who basically had no worries…
After everyone had left, the old master and I walked side by side… I was still half a step behind, but I understood his deep meaning. The old Li lineage and the people related to the old Li lineage played a role in the battle and were very important… He didn’t want these people to know that I wasn’t Chen Chengyi himself.
He was afraid that I would not be able to handle it, and just like at the beginning of the meeting, I had revealed my true identity… He could not know that these people around Chen Chengyi could not withstand such a blow. Anyway, the Xueshan lineage could not withstand the consequences… So, he wanted to help me handle the situation. It was also possible that these familiar people were waiting for me. After all, I had been practicing for 20 days and hadn’t seen them once.
From what they just said, they wanted to get together with me…
But what was surprising was that when I walked out of the meeting hall… it was deserted outside, and none of the people I had imagined were waiting for me… there was just a lonely figure standing there in the wind, and she was the last person I wanted to see.
“Ru Xue…” I called out subconsciously. In fact, it took me a long time to call out that name… In my heart, I should call her Zhaoyu.
She didn’t answer me… Instead, she walked towards me step by step. On her beautiful face, her expression was still clear and cold. She smiled faintly at the old master and then said to him, “Can I speak to him alone for a moment?”
The old master, who is usually wise and calm, was a little hesitant at this time… If I don’t let her speak, it’s not human, but if I do, I’m afraid I’ll be exposed… But I already sensed with my intuition that this indifference of Ru Xue towards me was definitely not her emotions for Chen Chengyi.
So, I was afraid that this clever woman had already sensed something… So, I said to the old master, “Then I’ll have a few words with Ru Xue. Please wait for me in front of the old master.”
Since I had said that, the old master had no reason to refuse… He nodded at me and then floated away… Only this woman, who made me feel complicated, stood together under the night sky, under the gently blowing mountainside…
The last time she and Chen Chengyi spent the night together, I vaguely remember it was a starry sky… Now, it’s getting cold… It seems that the entire night sky is covered with dark clouds, heavy and depressing.
The winter on the plateau always comes very early… This is something I learned from Chen Chengyi’s memories. I’m afraid it’s going to snow soon, right?
I didn’t dare to look into her eyes, even though her expression was so different from Wei Chaoyu’s… But looking into her eyes, I always felt like I was staring at Wei Chaoyu… I was heartbroken, but I still didn’t have the courage to stare.
“You’re not Chen Chengyi.” I didn’t dare to look into her eyes, but she looked directly at me and said this sentence, very straightforward, without any attempt to test.
“Yes, I’m not him. To be precise, I’m his will from his previous life.” Since she already knew, I had no need to hide it. I was just curious… So I asked directly, “How do you know I’m not Chen Chengyi?”
“Because the way you look at me is different from the way he looked at me… Your habits and details, including the way you walk, are all different from his. Others may not be able to tell, but I can.” Ru Xue answered me very calmly.
“You’ve been very observant.” I didn’t expect it to be such a reason, and she actually knew that I wasn’t Chen Chengyi.
“I didn’t observe very carefully… In front of him, I wouldn’t say such things, but to you, it doesn’t matter. It’s just because I love him, and I love him deeply, so everything about him is already imprinted in my soul… This is not strange. Every couple who loves deeply has this instinct.” As Ru Xue spoke, she brushed her hair away from her face. Her clear and light appearance made people feel infinite pity in their hearts.
“Will he come back?” When I was a little stunned, Ru Xue suddenly looked up and asked me.
