Chapter 178 - 31: Feint to the East, Strike to the West, Draw the Tiger from the Mountain

"Me?"

Shen Fei pointed to himself, looking confused.

A group of Tier Six, Tier Five, Tier Four, still opening another Abyss Edge channel in the Abyss.

For him?

He was about to say no, but his glance caught the Eye Demon Mark on the back of his hand.

’Could it be those big-eyed demons again?’

Shen Fei realized a problem.

Because this mark had not acted up, he thought perhaps it wasn’t time for those big eyes to retaliate yet.

But now it seemed he had been under the demons’ gaze all along.

Previously, he was at Imperial University, whatever the demons wanted to do would be discovered.

But now, here was the Abyss.

To the demons, it should be their territory.

"This time the invasion of the Tree Demon Abyss feels quite strange, in the second layer the Tree Demon Abyss is at a disadvantage.

Rarely would they assemble such a massive Tree Demon Army, almost never including Tier Six in past occurrences.

Yet this time, with a Tier Six surfacing, it’s such a prime opportunity to weaken the opponent, while the subordinates of the Desolate God show no reaction."

"Unless, they are not in this layer at all, or secretly reached an agreement with the Tree Demon Abyss." Wang Yiqi thought about the Tier Six aura burst recently.

If it weren’t for Shen Fei this time.

Regardless of whether Zhenyuan City got flattened, many people would die.

Shen Fei raised his eyebrow, "They mobilize so many resources just to surround and kill me?"

Thinking this way, ever since he came to the Desert Abyss, things gradually started seeming off.

But he was just an ordinary student!

Shen Fei’s puzzled gaze met Wang Yiqi’s face of bewilderment, "Brother, don’t you think you might be a bit... um, unaware of your influence?"

"You’re only eighteen, yet possess such combat power. Added to the fact that the Commander nominated you to ’end’ the Abyss Era.

Plus your achievements in the South China Area, maybe not evident on Blue Star, but within the Breaking Abyss Army and Demon Organization, you’re quite renowned."

Wang Yiqi rubbed his forehead.

Shen Fei raised his eyebrow, "Really? I thought my fame was relatively weak, even Tron and those little Karami dared to provoke me."

"Who is Tron?"

"The golden scallion."

Wang Yiqi shook his head, "First, don’t talk about gold or black scallion, now that the plan is discovered, what are you planning to do?"

"If they want to surround me, either lure me into their trap or directly find me..."

"The second option is unlikely, so there’s only the first one."

"To lure me into a trap, there must be bait. Is Zhenyuan City the bait?"

Shen Fei stroked his chin, "Or is the students on the first layer the trap."

Finishing, he raised his eyebrows.

"Their initial plan wouldn’t have been for the first layer, then realized I moved to the second layer, thus initiated the Tree Demon invasion to buy time?"

Shen Fei’s gaze darkened, knowing his decision to move to the second layer was temporary, known only to the leading teacher this time.

Are there demons among Imperial University staff?

"Buying time?"

Wang Yiqi was shocked after hearing Shen Fei’s analysis, Imperial University is Wu Xia’s highest academy, the staff inside are actually demons?

But then again, it’s not unheard of for higher-ups to turn into demons, in any force facing enemies there will always be war advocates and surrender factions.

Shen Fei hadn’t let Shen Qingyue in yet, but Shen Qingyue should not be a demon.

Otherwise, Stabbing Immortal would have warned him along the way, but not being a demon doesn’t mean she’s not connected with them.

There might even be demon spies in Zhenyuan City.

Right now Wang Yiqi is more trustworthy instead.

"Brother Wang, can you contact the Breaking Abyss Army stationed on the third layer?" Shen Fei stroked his chin, if he knew nothing.

He’d probably be caught in a crisis.

But now, due to Stabbing Immortal’s terrifying ’Void Escape,’ coupled with [Piercing Heaven and Earth].

Originally, the demons were in the dark, him in the light, now he’s in the light, demons in the dark.

If he can call on Tier Seven, or even Tier Eight professionals, directly wipe out these demons at once.

"I can contact them, but the strong of the third layer are all monitoring each other, the third layer behaves more like a tripartite standstill because of the presence of Tier Eight, each doesn’t fall into any decline."

"The third layer’s top is Tier Eight?"

"Yes."

"I thought the strongest in the Abyss were Tier Ten."

"Abyss is divided by the Breaking Abyss Army into three difficulties: Danger Level, Disaster Level, World-Ending Level.

Respectively corresponding to top Layer Eight, Layer Nine, and Layer Ten..." Wang Yiqi explained, "So what’s our plan now?"

At this moment a message suddenly appeared on his panel.

[Matchmaker’s Love (Su Muyu): Hubby, my Reverse Future Knowledge has come into effect.

A large number of Desolate God subordinates will attack Zhenyuan City under the lead of Tier Six.]

[Matchmaker’s Love (Su Muyu): What should I do now, should I report to the school immediately?]

[Matchmaker’s Love (Su Muyu): They will use methods to forcibly block the Desert’s first layer channel, cutting off communication with the outside world.]

Shen Fei looked at the message from Matchmaker’s Love, Desolate God subordinates, Tree Demon Abyss, demons...

Luring the tiger away, feinting east attacking west, trapping the turtle in a jar...

These demons exhaust all means to kill him, but it seems unlikely they can mobilize so many Tier Six combat powers.

Also keeping two Abysses temporarily at peace.

Shen Fei glanced at the back of his hand, looks like the Eye Demon Abyss is exerting behind the scenes.

[Matchmaker’s Love (Shen Fei): First, crush the jade your aunt gave you, for now, don’t report to Imperial University.

I suspect there’s a demon traitor among the staff.]

[Matchmaker’s Love (Shen Fei): You’d better not return to Zhenyuan City, staying outside might be safer than within Zhenyuan City right now.]

[Matchmaker’s Love (Su Muyu): Okay.]

[Matchmaker’s Love (Shen Fei): I’ll let Little Pu activate the flower seed on you, just call out Little Pu to communicate with me.]

Shen Fei couldn’t expose Su Muyu’s talent to the current Imperial University staff.

Seeing Shen Fei’s expression suddenly grow more severe, Wang Yiqi asked, "Did something happen?"

"Finally understand why the Tree Demon Abyss could mobilize so many troops to attack, Tier Six subordinates of Desolate God moved to one layer."

Shen Fei only mentioned the intel, without explaining how he knew.

Compared to Imperial University, the Breaking Abyss Army is his current base.

"One layer?"

Wang Yiqi raised his eyebrows, seeing Shen Fei in contemplation, he didn’t interrupt.

"Brother Wang, go to the first layer, take control of the Desert Abyss City there, it’s the Abyss’ central hub connecting to the outside."

And with your tier, taking control by force won’t be questioned."

"Desolate God subordinates will attack Zhenyuan City, prior they will attempt to seal the first layer."

"Brother Wang, once you’re down, don’t alarm them, wait for the traitor to emerge before acting, otherwise they’ll always be hidden among us."

Shen Fei advised.

"Alright. Over here, I’ll take Shi Wei and Fang Butong away.

Meng Huo and the other three stay with you, they’re better at command."

Wang Yiqi nodded, tier-wise he’s indeed above Shen Fei.

But with Shen Fei knowing more intel and possessing greater strength now!

After speaking, he hurriedly departed.

Shen Fei organized everything he knew, murmuring, "Whether you lure the tiger away or make false shows, your goal is to divert the main force from the second layer."

"A group of Tier Six, plus the Eye Demon Army, indeed possible to surround and kill me, but you’ve underestimated my trump card."

Shen Fei looked at the panel showing four more extraction attempts, along with the Heart Demon Flower Maiden.

And Matchmaker’s Love can swiftly shift his battlefield.

They wanted to use such tactics to lure him into a trap.

Afraid they’ll be disappointed.

Since he now knows so much intel, he’s definitely not just thinking of killing those demons anymore.

He will clear both the first layer and the second layer.

And expose the demon traitor among the team this time.

Otherwise, there’s only a thief roaming a thousand miles, not guarding against one for a thousand.
