Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268 Cunning Little Stone Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268 Cunning Little Stone â`
Plans had been deployed, and several star regions to be attacked had been determined.
First and foremost were the star regions closest to the latitude barrier, including the Boundless Ocean Starfield, the Jiuxiao Star Domain, and the Canghuo Star Region.
And the distance between these three star regions was also extremely far.
This was also for safety reasons, as the farther apart the distances, the more relaxed the Nefarious Demon Region would become.
Generally speaking, after the fall of a star region, the Nefarious Demon Region would swiftly deploy defenses, and would surely conduct comprehensive inspections and fortifications in the surrounding star regions as well.
However, if an attack was to continue in a star region far away, it would catch the other star regions off guard.
To achieve this, the speed of Ye Qiubai and the others was of great demand.
Fortunately, Little Stone had already established contact with the Void Giant species, with the lord of the void beasts personally carrying them through spatial teleportation!
In the void, the void beasts, a unique species, possessed unparalleled advantages!
As for the composition of the personnel, it was very simpleâYe Qiubaiâs party, including the thirty half-step Divine God Realm warriors brought by Tan Zongzhao.
Of course, Tan Zongzhao was among them, but just like Blackie, being a warrior in the Intermediate Stage Divine Emperor Realm, naturally, he couldnât take action lightly.
Once nearly three hundred Divine Emperor Realm warriors emerged en masse, it would be a fatal blow to The Mortal Realm, which would be crushed like an iron tide, unable to resist.
Astride a void beast, Tan Zongzhao exclaimed, âThe Void Giant species, although they donât actively attack us, are also not easily tamed. I hadnât expected your junior brother to possess such an ability.â
As he spoke, Tan Zongzhao turned to look at Blackie and said with a smile, âIâm actually quite curious to see just how strong you and your fellow disciples are.â
Blackie responded with a faint smile, âYouâll see.â
âBut before that happens, my friends here might justâŠâ At this point, Tan Zongzhao looked interestedly towards the thirty people beside him.
All thirty were sizing up Ye Qiubai and his group.
âIs this the person with strong talents that Brother Tan mentioned? Doesnât seem like much to me.â
âIntermediate Stage Divine Master Realm⊠Thatâs just the level of a prodigy from a second-rate force in the Chaos Realm; is he really worth such high praise from you, Brother Tan?â
âIâm afraid when itâs time to attack the star region, weâll still be the ones who need to exert effort.â
âForget it, consider it a favor for Brother Tan. For such a favor, itâs worth us traveling this great distance to lend a hand.â
The voices of these individuals were not hidden, and Ye Qiubai and his group heard everything loud and clear.
Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged smiles but said nothing in response.
They just found the situation very nostalgic.
When they were not as high in realm, many people had said similar things to them, but ever since they reached the Divine Emperor Realm, such comments had ceased.
However, only Little Stone went up to the thirty individuals by himself.
The crowd looked at the boy who still seemed somewhat childlike and couldnât help feeling puzzled.
Little Stone revealed an innocuous smile and said, âYou must be very strong, right?â
Without waiting for a reply,
Little Stone continued, âI think you must also want to flatter the person standing next to my senior brother, right?â
At such a blunt remark, the faces of these people couldnât quite maintain their composure.
But they couldnât refute.
After all, this was a fact everyone was well aware of.
If they were to argue, they would only seem more clownish.
Beside Tan Zongzhao, two men of the Divine Emperor Realm couldnât help but laugh when they heard this.
âThis kid is interesting.â
But Blackie said indifferently at the side, âHe might be older than all of you.â
Tan Zongzhao and his two companions: ââŠâ
Under the trioâs dumbfounded expressions, Little Stone went on to say, âHow about this, letâs make a comparison when the time comes. If the people you kill and the merits you earn outnumber those of my senior brothers and me, then I will have Blackie here speak on your behalf.â
â`
âYou should have noticed by now, the person youâre trying to flatter is here precisely for Blackie,â Little Stone said, a mischievous grin on his face. âAs long as he speaks for you, itâll definitely be useful!â
All thirty of them were taken aback by Little Stoneâs words.
The idea seemed somewhat strange, yet somewhat reasonable.
How does that saying go?
No matter how well you perform, itâs not as good as a word whispered by a leaderâs confidantâŠ
âHoweverâŠâ Little Stoneâs tone shifted as he snickered, âIf you kill fewer than us, then youâll help defend against the Nefarious Demon Region here without compensation until the war is over.â
ThisâŠ
Everyone exchanged glances, perplexed. They had agreed with Tan Zongzhao to join only one battle, which meant their mission would be complete after this surprise attack.
After all, they had come here without the knowledge of their respective sects.
The powers of the Chaos Realm generally forbid involvement in the affairs of other major realms.
Seeing their hesitation, Little Stone pressed his advantage. Turning his back, he propped his hands behind his head and sighed, âSince itâs like that, letâs just pretend I didnât say anything.â
At those words, one of them clenched his teeth and said, âOkay!â
Once one person stepped forward, the others followed, saying, âThen itâs decided.â
âBut donât think weâre bullying you because of your lower realm. After all, youâre so much lower than us,â they retorted with a lingering sense of superiority.
Little Stone nodded, âItâs a deal then.â
And with that, he rejoined Ye Qiubai and the others.
Watching this scene, Tan Zongzhao couldnât help but say to Blackie, âYour junior brother is quite skilled at manipulating peopleâs hearts!â
Blackie felt a touch of exasperation.
Where on earth had his junior learned to be so scheming?
Ye Qiubai and the others were also a bit stunned.
Seeing his senior brothers and sisters staring at him in bewilderment, Little Stone couldnât help but chuckle and wiped his nose, âHowâs that? Impressive, right?â
Mu Fusheng, resigned, covered his forehead, âLittle Junior Brother, where did you learn that from?â
Hong Ying turned to Ye Qiubai, âIt wasnât Big Senior Brother, was it?â
Suddenly, everyoneâs gaze fell on Ye Qiubai.
Then it was Ye Qiubaiâs turn to be dumbfounded.
âWhat the hell? Why does everything get blamed on me?â Ye Qiubai protested hastily, âLittle Stone has been practicing with our master all these years! Whatâs that got to do with me!?â
He desperately couldnât admit to this!
If the master heard about it, he might end up being punished with mountain-sweeping duties, or even worse, he might be forced to teach Blackie how to cook!
Just the thought made Ye Qiubai shudder.
Hearing his seniors seeming to disapprove of his actions, Little Stone frowned, âWhatâs wrong? Isnât this a good thing? Not only did we get some extra fighters for free, but we get to slap their faces quite thoroughly. Why wouldnât I do it?â
Fang Qiong chuckled at the side.
âAlthough this tactic might attract some resentment, itâs definitely beneficial for us,â he remarked.
Little Stoneâs eyes lit up, and he immediately flew to Fang Qiongâs side, tapping his shoulder and nodding vigorously, âRight, the brains of a junior brother work well indeed.â
No sooner had he spoken than a number of unwelcoming glances settled on him.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Little Stone.
âUm⊠I mean, the brains of my senior brothers are even more nimble,â he quickly corrected.
While everyone was in the midst of their playful banter, a weary, aged voice intervened.
âWeâre approaching the Boundless Ocean Starfield.â
