Chapter 1836: Splitting the Army into Two Roads
Help you to hold down the palace and ensure that there won’t be any mistakes, but you also better not let me down, within a week I must hear about the battle igniting on the borders of the two empires.”
Knowing what he should do, the fake emperor immediately instructed the prime minister beside him to make the arrangements according to his own set of requirements, and that night this fake emperor led his own pro-team towards the borders of the empires.
At the same time.
The priest who hid in the palace to manipulate the situation, also finally had his newest wave of plans.
He didn’t hunker down in the palace and set up defensive barriers like he had imagined, instead, this guy chose to take the initiative, constantly sending out powerful Ten Thousand Years Disciples as well as the Thousand Years Sacrificial Spirit team, heading towards the road that Xu Yang’s people would have to pass through in order to return.
The priest knew very well that with Xu Yang’s level of strength, just sending out manpower to block their team did not play a significant role, and if they really wanted to stall for time, they had to come up with even more brutal means.
Sure enough, Xu Yang several people along the way encountered not many blockers, but they did not expect, just because their team back to the palace news spread out, along the way several large city state constantly staged a very gruesome people were slaughtered tragedy.
And from all indications, the murderers of these city-states were all those who were sent out by the sacrificial team of the Spirit Sacrifice.
Right now, Xu Yang and the others were forced to temporarily enter the imperial city-state called Kaodu.
This city-state had a long history, and originally, the people were living a stable and peaceful life, but in recent days, a large group of Sacrificial Spirits had suddenly entered the city, and started to carry out a wave of very crazy large-scale massacres, which could hardly find any reason, and immediately plunged the city-state into deep water and heat.
Xu Yang several people naturally knew clearly that these were a series of delaying measures carried out by the palace group that the false emperor was in, but they were forced to stay within the city-state for the time being, to help the people of the city-state to cut out such a scourge.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, although the vast majority of the Spirit Sacrifice powerhouses in the city had already been pretty much dealt with by a few people from Xu Yang’s team.
However, these Sacrificial Spirit members hiding in the shadows were just like a wildfire that could not be eliminated, but would grow again in the spring breeze.
Even if only a single spark was left behind, they could still form a prairie fire.
Undoubtedly, such an approach and strategy had indeed slowed down Xu Yang’s team’s marching tempo in a short period of time.
”Boss Xu Yang, according to my thoughts if this continues, I’m afraid that a few of us are going to be tripped up by those scheming guys.
Now I do have an idea, why don’t we first have the team split in two, leaving two people to guard the castle, while you, Boss, personally escort His Majesty the Emperor back to the Imperial Palace in the first place.”
By proposing such an idea, Breaking Dawn had indeed brought her big-picture perspective into play, which was appreciated by Xu Yang.
”In that case, it seems that we can only use this method first, otherwise I’m worried that more trouble will follow.
Since the False Emperor has already made up his mind to carry on with us to the end, he will definitely doggedly and recklessly give orders, and the longer the time drags on, the more innocent people will suffer as a result of his orders.”
Xu Yang pondered for a moment and decided decisively to let Long Kun and the Ancient Serpent stay behind.
He himself took Broken Dawn and Little Mushroom to escort His Majesty the Emperor straight to the Imperial Capital.
Long Kun couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the Ancient Great Spirit after he had just heard Xu Yang’s order, these two guys didn’t share a victory last time, each holding back energy in their hearts, wanting to prove their strength.
This time when they heard Xu Yang make such an arrangement, at once that desire to compete burned up once again, Xu Yang read these two people’s minds beyond compare and smiled as he nodded at these two guys.
”Don’t think that just because I left you guys in the middle of this city-state, you can do whatever you want.
Don’t you all want to prove your might?
Then from now on, I’m going to request that all the Realm Spirit powerhouses that you two have killed, as well as experts at the Ten Thousand Year Disciple level, all leave their exclusive soul brands and bring them to me the next time we meet again.
This is the best way for you to show off your strength, if I find out that the two of you are fighting to the death within this city-state after we left, don’t blame me as the boss for turning my back on you.”
You should know that Xu Yang’s influence in the team, that is absolutely say one without question.
After Long Kun received his boss’s order, he immediately assured him.
”Just put your heart in your stomach, Boss.
When have I ever let you down.
Since I’ve already decided to follow your orders, I’ll leave this side to me and guarantee that there won’t be any problems.”
After settling down this side of the city-state, Xu Yang didn’t hesitate any longer, and his group of four stepped into the air and flew towards the imperial capital.
In the blink of an eye, it was five hours of continuous traveling.
Along the way, Xu Yang not only escorted a few people, but also always released his spiritual power to observe the surrounding area, to prevent any enemy hidden in the vicinity from making a surprise attack.
Sure enough, when the four of them traveled to an oasis, hidden underneath the oasis was a very shocking fluctuation of martial arts aura.
Xu Yang let out a cold smile and pointed towards the oasis below and spoke.
”Guess how many enemies are hidden here.”
The little mushroom immediately scurried onto Xu Yang’s shoulder, smilingly opening his mouth to reply.
”Such a large oasis must at least have dozens of Ten Thousand Years Disciple martial artists!”
Xu Yang listened to the answer given by this fellow and revealed a smiling expression, not directly opening his mouth to reject the other party, but from such a reaction from him, he was able to tell that this little girl was definitely just reshaping the answer given, which had no practical significance at all.
On the contrary, it was the old emperor by his side who scanned the bottom of the oasis with a grave expression and made some observations.
”Judging by the fluctuations in breath, there should be about five people hiding underneath this oasis.
And none of them should be weaker than me, at least all of them are above the Great Achievement realm.”
Xu Yang Han smiled and nodded, “This answer isn’t exactly correct either, but it’s at least a bit more reliable.
Saying this he then dropped his gaze on Broken Dawn’s face behind him.”
”Girl, insight should be as basic a skill as survival instinct for you, so come and tell them both the final answer.”
Only to see Breaking Dawn’s face intensify by a few points as she looked deeply at the oasis below and said.
”If there is no error in my judgment, the enemy hidden below this oasis is only one person with an autonomous soul form, the breath of those other martial artists should all be controlled by the same person’s soul, and they have all been reduced to puppets of that controller.”
”What are you saying?
If that’s really the case, why are the breath fluctuations down there so disorganized?”
Little Mushroom said with a puzzled look on his face.
Xu Yang touched his cheek and spoke with a smile, “It’s just some means of concealment.
You little thing, you still have too little experience in actual combat, you need to work harder!”
