Chapter 1062: Chapter 1060- Anticipating and Preparing

“Kong Yao is really careful when using troops and sneak attacked many times. She never leaves one a chance to attack her. I am useless and to crush her in a month and a half is impossible.”

Feiyin was dejected. During these few days, he was anxious. Unlike before when he looked down on Kong Yao.

During these few dozen days, this girl whom he saw as an average general had given him a huge beating.

“However, she needs a good ruler to show off her capabilities. Like how a good sword needs to be in the hands of a top swordsman to show off its absolute sharpness! If it falls into the hands of a normal person, it would only be slightly sharper than common iron. This Kong Yao is serving a preposterous and unruly ruler.”

Everyone frowned, they were all confused and didn’t know what Feiyin meant.

Feiyin continued, “Kong Yao led millions of troops and had a tough battle with us north of Min River. While this Zong Shou was in the Jiuchi Palace thousands of miles away out having fun, having feasts every day and snatching tribal teens to satisfy his urges. I really feel bad for this Kong Yao. She really lowered her own value, marrying to such a ruler…”

Everyone shook their heads, what was the use in saying all of this? Since he had a top commander like Kong Yao, Zong Shou could have fun at the back without worries. That was something everyone envied.

In the end, it was Yinyu who messed up, sending this future pillar of Great Shang over to become Zong Shou’s concubine.

Looking at it now, it was like sticking a fresh flower onto a pile of shit.

Looking at the impatient expression on Yinyu’s face, he stopped his words and went to the main topic, “We actually didn’t need to forcefully attack and just required to wait for a few months. That Great Gan Ruler would have been in chaos all on its own because of what their ruler is doing. Because Zong Shou snatched the girls of the south barbarian tribes, they would’ve gotten mad sooner or later. Our Great Shang could have won without fighting. However, Your Majesty is wise, you wouldn’t be able to see them suffer, not wanting war on people of the Great Shang is why we have to end it quick. Thinking about it, the only way is to capture the king!”

“Capture the king?”

Yinyu’s face turned into a smile. He could hear the respect in his tone. The words he said was exactly what he wanted.

They truly didn’t want to drag on for too long. Those barbarian people had nothing to do with him, but if they continued being here, they would have to add taxes. He had to be really careful with this whole matter.

When he heard those words, he was tempted.

“You want to toss aside everything and sneak attack the palace?!”

The moment he said this, the eyes of everyone in the room lit up. Especially those generals who were deep in thought.

“Your Majesty is wise, I do have such intentions!”

Feiyin smiled, his expression becoming more and more respectful. “The Common People’s Path’s Seven Swords and Great Gan as a country depend solely on Zong Shou. If he dies, then everything will be solved! I also know that there are large amounts of grain near Jiuchi Palace. If we obtain it, it can feed our Great Shang for two months! At that point, all dangers will be solved easily.”

Yinyu suddenly stood up, he was already really tempted. However, he still had some doubts that weren’t solved.

“Min River is at least two thousand and seven hundred kilometers away from Jiuchi Palace.”

The person who spoke was a Taoist, although his aura was innate, no different from normal people, he was actually a Saint Realm Venerable.

“Since Kong Yao is careful, a long-distance siege is impossible. How can we directly attack them? At just ten miles away, they will be able to notice us.”

“The Blood Sword Monster Lord isn’t a dead person. His sword techniques are strong and his movements are quick too! If he sees that the situation is not good, wouldn’t he just flee?”

Yinyu looked towards Feiyin, waiting for him to reply. What these few people said didn’t erase the doubts in his heart.

“How is that even hard? The Taoist Faction has the Thousand Mile Movement Armor Technique, while the Demon Sect has the Demon Space Hidden God Technique. We can teleport the troops two thousand and eight hundred miles!”

With those words, the experts’ faces all changed. Although the Thousand Mile Movement Armor Technique had such an ability, because it consumed large amounts of resources, the Taoist Faction wouldn’t easily use it.

Moreover, Zong Shou had the World Burning Blood Eyes and the World Burning Blood which could lock down space. If they wanted to achieve a proper result, they would need dozens of Saint Realms to join hands and even harm their own souls.

Feiyin continued confidently, “As for how to prevent Zong Shou from escaping is really simple. With the power of the three factions, one space sealing formation isn’t tough. If you are all willing to sacrifice something to succeed then even if he has the Lu Family World Burning Blood, you can still trap and kill him!”

“That is too optimistic! Even if my Taoist Faction has the Thousand Mile Movement Armor Technique, the Common People’s Path has the Space Crossing Technique that could teleport a hundred thousand troops instantly.”

“Zong Shou is a fox and has always been cunning. If Jiuchi Palace is indeed a trap—I am saying what if… then what should we do?”

“Then we should at least teleport eight hundred thousand elites! All of the Dao Soldiers have to go all-out!”

Feiyin’s expression grew increasingly brighter as he became more and more confident.

“The problem we are facing is that we can’t face Kong Yao head on! With these eight hundred thousand troops, no matter whether or not Kong Yao could teleport her elites over. No matter if this palace is a trap or not, our eight hundred thousand troops will be able to smash it!”

Yinyu was completely enlightened, a look of praise appeared on his face. This plan could work and it was the only way to break through the entire situation.

It was okay if they didn’t use the Common People’s Path’s Space Crossing Technique, if they did, then forcing Kong Yao to fight to the death at Jiuchi Palace was a good decision too.

However, at this moment, he didn’t say a word, he simply sat back down and waited.

To teleport a hundred thousand troops in a thousand miles, the Great Shang would be able to use the resources to provide for a Saint Realm Venerable for fifty years.

Eight hundred thousand elites, two thousand eight hundred miles, that consumption was just too shocking. The Great Shang alone definitely couldn’t afford the costs.

The room was silent again. A moment later, Xue Bao suddenly opened his mouth. “This method is okay! The Confucian Faction is willing to pay a third of it! Four Saint Realms will join in.”

With Saint Dong dying, everyone in the Confucian Faction hated them, the water in all the rivers in the world wouldn’t be able to wash away this hate.

Zhu Zi would definitely pay any price to wipe out the Great Gan!

Because of his words, it broke the tense situation.

Yuntai spoke before laughing, “My Taoist Faction can take up a fourth of the costs to support this method. Five Saint Realms along with the Thousand Mile Movement Armor will be shared with all of you.”

His gaze changed. Zong Shou was the top heir of the Lu Family. If the Taoist Faction didn’t want to offend that huge monster, the best method would be capturing the kid. After doing so, they would ask the Lu Family to answer for the Qingming matter.

The Lu Family people in power would gladly do it. The only pure-blood Lu Family member would be captured, although his position in the family was important, whether or not he could still become the Sky Burning Saint Emperor would depend on things.

However, it seemed like the Confucian Faction wanted to kill Zong Shou before they would rest.

They had the moral high ground, so how could he stop them?

Since they were prepared to take revenge and not care about the price they had to pay. It was not bad because they could borrow the hands of the Confucian Faction and the Great Shang.

The Blood Sword Monster Lord also had a huge blood debt with the Taoist Faction, like bloody thorns in their eyes.

At this moment, those ambitious people in the Taoist Faction were all unhappy with Qingxuan. This Taoist Ancestor really had many things to worry about.

Was the Sky Burning Lu Family really that scary? Out of its country, it only had three Saint Venerables and nine End Realm powered God Venerables.

“What does brother Blood Saint think?”

The Confucian Faction was really firm, even if they joined hands, they weren’t willing to talk to the Demon Sect at all.

During this discussion, the Taoist Faction was the middleman and communicator.

At this moment outside of the carriage, during the deep night, a bone-chilling laugh spread out. “Interesting, really interesting! If you want the Demon Sect to agree, it is possible! One-fourth of the mind stones and even that Demon Space Hidden God Technique can be taken out. However, we want half of the South Wind Cloud Continent and Huizhou!”

Yinyu frowned before calming his expressions. They didn’t ask for the richest Donglin, at least the Demon Path knew their face.

Anyways, on the surface, the Great Shang will split it to the various Marquis. However, the choices of the Marquis will be chosen by the Demon Faction.

To him, he didn’t lose anything.

The Blood Saint Demon Lord continued laughing sinisterly. “You must also hand over the Monster King Zong Shou and all his Eight Tail Sky Fox Zong Family members to me. My Faction’s Taishi hates him deep to the bone.”

The people didn’t really care about this demand. To be able to push the blame to the Taishi was a good thing. Anyways, the Demon Lord didn’t seem to fear the Lu Family.

Even Liu Li didn’t have any objections regarding this. If Zong Shou fell into the hands of the Demon Faction, their outcome would be even worse.

“Half a South Wind Cloud Continent is enough, one more Huizhou is obviously too much. You can only take one!”

Before Yuntai finished, he heard a cold scoff. He didn’t care, his eyes looked towards Liu Li with a questioning gaze.

Liu Li kept silent for a while and then nodded. “Okay!”

After hearing those words, Yinyu knew that this discussion was done. He looked towards the map with glowing eyes. In just two days, all the problems will be settled.

A confused look appeared in his eyes. Who cares about the Jiuchi Palace? It only sounded a little elegant. But what did this God Falling Plains mean?

He heard that Zong Shou named it himself. The name was a little too inauspicious.

Just at the same time, Kong Yao was looking at the skies. Her expression was filled with relief, then that moment finally arrived!

“We can start!”

The moment she said this, she looked to the side at the Common People’s Path Mingyu who stood with his arms by his side.

“I will have to bother the few Venerables this time!”

“How can you say that?”

Mingyu smiled. “With ruler’s World Burning Eyes, the Space Crossing Technique will be much simpler. To be able to personally see Junior Brother and my brothers and sisters personally bury the members of the three factions, I will be filled with anticipation!”

At this moment, the thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry, fifty thousand Common People’s Xuan Dragon Warriors, thirty-five thousand Moyang’s Sword Cavalry, and sixty thousand Big Dipper Warriors were in front of him.
