Chapter 520: I Have A Plan, Your Majesty!
Demon Lord Moyin was another personal disciple of the Demon Patriarch.
A full-fledged Grand Luo, he commanded overwhelming strength and had once slain a Demi-Saint.
***
In the air, a small raft was streaking past and warping repeatedly.
Golden Armor General, the Jade Emperorâs clone, was steering the raft, excitement showing all over hie pitch-black face. âHow would you rescue Wang Hou, Mister Jiang? Charge directly into the Grand Luoâs battlefield or infiltrate it, and rescue Wang Hou when you have the chance?â
Watching as Jiang He studied the information provided to him on the deck, the Golden Armor General then added, âMy clone could use sixty percent of my true formâs power, and holding back Moyin or Skyless would be no problemâŠâ
âThereâs no need for such trouble.â
Jiang He smiled, putting down the information. âIâve read that Skyless and Moyin had once killed Demi-Saints, but those Demi-Saints belonged to lesser races and were pieces of trash that were born out of luck. In terms of combat ability, they would not be a match for a normal Demi-Saint, and their mystic treasures would dull in comparison to Grand Luo from important sects.â
âMy pets could stop Skyless and Moyin.â
The Golden Armor Generalâs eyes bulged. âYour cat and dog could stop Skyless and Moyin?â
âThey canât.â
Jiang He replied truthfully. âDumbo and Trumbo might not lose out to Skyless and Moyin in cultivation, but they only started cultivating recently and have never fought a serious battle, so they have no combat experience at all.â
âIn contrast, Skyless and Moyin are personal disciples of Saints and they carry premium-grade innate treasures. Dumbo and Trumbo would never stop them, butâŠâ
Jiang Heâs tone changed and he quietly said, âI have more than two pets.â
âYou⊠youâŠâ
The Golden Armor Generalâs eyes bulged wider at that. âYou have more Grand Luo pets?â
Jiang He nodded and smiled faintly.
Suddenly remembering something, he asked, âYour Majesty, wonât those foreign elites send their elites to kill you if they learn that your clone is heading to the celestial battlefield?â
âOf course.â
The Golden Armor General replied. âIâm the Lord of the Three Realms. Even if there nothing meaningful to be gained from killing my clone, the Gods, the Demons, and any race hostile against the Three Realms would only be too happy to do it.â
âWould Saints or Demi-Saints intercept us on the way?â
âThey wonât.â
The Golden Armor General said confidently. âFor one, my cloneâs identity is a secret, and neither Saint nor Demi-Saint would make a move even if I was exposed under most circumstances⊠Saints of the Three Realms would naturally fight if they do.â
The war of the worlds had raged on for eons.
The various races or alliances would either be guarding a location or coexisting with a delicate balance. Even if a serious battle was waged with casualties on both sides, not one faction would come up on top.
For example, even in the invasion mounted by the Hundred Races Alliance the last time, those races had only lost little over a hundred Golden Immortals.
It was a number that did not amount to much for each race⊠but they had lose their dignity because something like that happened.
As such, the Modolo and White Sky God King were sent to the Golden Immortal battlefield to slay the Golden Immortals of the Three Realms until none of them dared to set foot inside the battlefieldâŠ
Those battles were mostly waged for the sake of saving face.
Jiang He was rather perplexed at thatâŠ
âSaving face?â
âIs it really that important?â
âWhy donât we just kill fiftyish of their Grand Luo?â
âEh?â
The Jade Emperorâs Golden Armor General clone was left dumbstruck. Assuming that he was hearing things, he asked, âFiftyish what?â
âYour MajestyâŠâ
Jiang He, however, had a thought then and whispered, âI have a plan, and I need you to work with me, Your Majesty.â
âWe could deal a serious blow to the God and Demon race if it works!â
As both man discussed away on the deck, the Golden Armor General then exclaimed in delight and excitement. âPerfect! Your plan is too perfect, Mister Jiang⊠Iâll summon the Duke of Dong Mu right now, spread word that I am going with you to save Wang Hou and the Grand Luoâs battlefield!â
***
Back at the Celestial Court, LĂŒ Dongbin rushed towards the Jade Emperor and asked, âYou summoned me, Your Majesty?â
Utterly imposing, the Jade Emperor flatly spoke, âDuke of Dong Mu, send out your people to spread word that an important virtue clone of mind is escorting Jiang He to the Grand Luoâs battlefield to rescue Wang Hou⊠remember to leak the news inadvertently, and do not let it reach the God race, Demon race, and any other hostile race too quickly.â
âWhat?â
LĂŒ Dongbinâs face dropped and he promptly dissuaded the Jade Emperor, âYour Majesty, thatâs notâŠâ
The Jade Emperorâs expression hardened. âSave your breath and just do what Iâm telling you to.â
Soon, word spread.
Scouts that the God race, Demon race, and other hostile races embedded first caught it from a handmaidenâs gossip, who had inadvertently heard it in some small talk between LĂŒ Dongbin and his wifeâŠ
A day later, word of it reached the leaders of the God race, Demon race, and other hostile races.
By the next day, another group of Grand Luo from the God race, Demon race, and other hostile races headed to the Grand Luoâs battlefield as well.
Aside from them, the various factions in the Three Realms also received word.
The Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and other elites headed to the palace and tried to verify it with LĂŒ Dongbin and the Jade Emperor, only for the latter to simply smile, âDonât worry, everyone. I have my plansâŠâ
âMy clone and Mister Jiang should be close to the Grand Luoâs battlefield now, and would enter it tomorrow. Letâs stay here at the Celestial Court to enjoy the show.â
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and a cloud of mist arose within the palace.
The mist reflected the entrance of the Grand Luoâs battlefield.
âYour Majesty⊠where is Jiang He and your clone?â a Jie Sect Grand Luo could not help asking then. âMy patriarch thinks highly of him, and had even sent people looking for him at the homeworld, and we did not imagine that he had come to PrimevalâŠâ
The Jie Sect did not know that Jiang He had come to the celestial battlefield.
When a Chan Sect heard that, he could not help chuckling. âMister Jiang had stayed at our Hollow Jade Palace for a year after coming to Primeval and did not leave. It is only normal that youâre not aware of that information, brother from the Jie SectâŠâ
Are they competing already?
Is Jiang He really that important?
The Jade Emperor quietly complained inwardly.
He then calmly said, âWeâll naturally change perspectives after I enter the Grand Luoâs battlefield.
***
In the air nearby the Grand Luoâs battlefield, deep within the celestial battlefield, Jiang He and the Jade Emperor had hidden their presence and sneakily studied the entrance to the Grand Luoâs battlefield.
âTsk⊠the entrance is actually a nebula, and it looks very vast⊠Your Majesty, how did the Grand Luoâs battlefield take shape?â
âThe world gave it life.â
The Jade Emperor replied. âEverything in the celestial life is given life by the world, and the mysteries within is only known to the Saints⊠hmm. Another Grand Luo, and judging by their aura, a Stoner.â
âSeventeen foreign Grand Luo had rushed here in just a day. If we had waited until tomorrow, there would probably be a hundred of them.â
The Golden Armor General was beside himself with excitement. âThe tides of the celestial battlefield could well be changed if that hundred or so Grand Luo could be killed.â
Nonetheless he soon calmed down, and turned toward Jiang He to ask, âBy the way, you said that you would have me expose my own identity to lure the foreign Grand Luo, but you did not say how we are going to kill themâŠâ
The Golden Armor Generalâs brows twitched.
Only now did he think about the key to the plan.
How were they going to kill almost a hundred Grand Luo?
Even peerless Demi-Saints like the Grand Mage of Xuan Du or the Nether River Patriarch would be giving a hundred Grand Luo a wide berth, let along Jiang He and himself!
