Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Lu Changsheng: Want to Give the Immortal Emperor Two Strikes
Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Immortal Emperor was at his wit’s end.
Although he had initiated the conversation himself.
But why did it sound so inappropriate?
After all, wasn’t he the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm?
High above the masses; third only to three others?
Couldn’t he have been a bit more tactful, couldn’t he have spared some dignity for himself?
“So, how do you plan to fight?” The Immortal Emperor pointed to a spot with a red chess piece and said, “Our people are right here. If you need it, I can give you the Immortal Emperor Token, and then…”
Lu Changsheng, however, waved his hand and said, “No, don’t make it too flamboyant; just arrange any identity for me so I can gather some intelligence on the opponent.”
Just any identity, nothing too flamboyant?
The Immortal Emperor nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. You should go now. After all, we don’t have much time.”
Before the Immortal Emperor could finish…
Lu Changsheng’s figure had already vanished from the spot.
The Immortal Emperor clenched his fists… Damn it, he’s really not giving any face!
“Fine, keep acting tough because you’re stronger than me, I’ll let you embarrass yourself once!”
…
Thus, when Lu Changsheng arrived at the Immortal Emperor Palace’s base.
A large group of people had already gathered in front of the camp.
As Lu Changsheng looked around in confusion.
The group suddenly dropped to one knee, shouting loudly, “Welcome, Prince Regent!”
What… What’s this?
Lu Changsheng was bewildered.
The Prince Regent?
Didn’t we agree to arrange a low-profile role for myself?
Damn… this guy set me up!
In the crowd, Fen Yan and the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley also exchanged puzzled looks upon seeing Lu Changsheng.
Why is Senior Lu here?
And how did he become the Prince Regent appointed by the Immortal Emperor?
Lu Changsheng’s forehead creased significantly, and now was not the time to ponder over this. He entered the tent under the somewhat puzzled gazes of everyone.
Inside the tent, there was a cold woman looking at a map, appearing as frigid as an iceberg.
When Lu Changsheng arrived, she looked up and said, “The Immortal Emperor has already informed me about your situation, thank you for coming to help.”
This woman was none other than Senior Han, who had always been with the three masters. Her strength was incredibly high, having reached the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm!
Lu Changsheng, feigning confidence, stepped forward and asked, “What’s the opponent’s situation?”
Xiao Han, with her eyebrows furrowed, said, “In the previous period, I’ve been searching for remnants in the Nefarious Demon Region. After finding one group, I followed the trail that implicated four major first-rate factions, one of which was a beyond-first-rate faction with a Divine Emperor Realm combatant.”
“Along with powers from the other eight second-rate forces and some third-rate forces.”
Lu Changsheng slightly frowned, “So many? In such a short period, it should not be so easy to find so many just based on a bit of information. The dark chess set by the Nefarious Demon Region must have had some significant tactics to have lasted this long.”
Xiao Han nodded and added, “That’s what I thought. It’s likely because the Nefarious Demon Region is about to break the suppression, and their activities are becoming more active, making them easier to find.”
“That Divine Emperor Realm intermediate stage person, in collaboration with other first-rate factions, can hold me back with secret techniques.”
At this moment, the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley also came forward and said, “But now a major problem is the formation they’ve united under, which our current forces can’t break through. Even breaking through would take at least thirty days.”
Thirty days…
By then, it would be too late.
And since the Immortal Emperor needed to oversee two major fronts, it was not possible for him to act personally.
No wonder Lu Changsheng was sent here.
“However, with Senior Lu here, we shouldn’t have anything to worry about,” the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley laughed loudly. “This matter should be resolved quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced at Lu Changsheng, whose expression remained calm.
Could someone who commands such respect from the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley truly possess such formidable strength?
Even the others were somewhat astonished and doubtful.
If even Senior Han, who could be compared to an Immortal Emperor, couldn’t quickly resolve this stalemate, how could this newly appointed Prince Regent do so?
Could it be that this person is even stronger than the Peak of Divine Emperor Realm?
With doubts in mind, Lu Changsheng made up his mind and said, “Has the opponent played all their cards yet?”
Xiao Han nodded. “If they had any moves left, they wouldn’t struggle so hard to stall us by exerting their full strength.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “In that case, wait for my news first.”
Wait for your news?
“What are you going to do?”
Lu Changsheng suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving only his words behind. “You all head directly towards their core area; I’ll eliminate the four on the periphery first, and then we’ll meet up in the core area!”
The faces of Xiao Han and the others changed dramatically.
The rest were also bustling with discussions.
“Are you kidding me? What kind of terrible idea is this?”
“The four directions are too far apart! How long will it take to go from one to another and fight them?”
“And to wipe out all four by himself and then meet up with us, by then, the dish would have gotten cold.”
Not just that…
They understood that the peripheral four factions of the Nefarious Demon Region were actually fallbacks; if the core area or any other force were breached, they would immediately relocate their bases upon sharing intelligence.
This would lead to an inability to thoroughly eliminate the remnants of the Nefarious Demon Region.
Therefore, their only choice was to attack the core area, where more forces were gathered and the strength was greater. Even if the Nefarious Demon Region broke the seals, the help they could offer would be lesser!
However, the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley merely laughed and said, “Alright, don’t worry. Since Senior Lu said so, let’s just do as he proposed.”
“Didn’t the Immortal Emperor himself say? Seeing him is as seeing the Immortal Emperor; his commands are the Immortal Emperor’s commands.”
Someone raised a question. “I say, Old Fen, who exactly is he? You think so highly of him?”
The Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley laughed heartily. “He is someone not all of us together could match in a fight! Not even that person is his match!”
That person…
Everyone was startled.
They naturally knew that “that person” mentioned by the Valley Master of Immortal Burning Valley was the Immortal Emperor…
With that, everyone ceased their objections and, albeit skeptically, rushed towards the core area.
…
As they hurried along, everyone, already strong, stretched their senses to the maximum, trying to detect any signs of intense fighting.
But they sensed nothing…
Logically, if one person were to wipe out an outpost, some traces of disturbance should have been detectable.
Just as they were puzzled and then continued towards the core area.
Everyone was astounded, staring blankly at the man in white ahead.
The man in white looked back at them calmly, as if nothing had happened, and said, “You’ve arrived? Then let’s get started.”
What’s going on?
Everyone’s faces were full of shock.
Had he wiped out all four outposts?
In less time than it takes an incense stick to burn?
Even Senior Han, such a strong figure, couldn’t have achieved that!
