Chapter 1779 The Bizarre Battle
In the courtyard, although Lei Jiang was trying his best to control the situation, Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting still couldn't hide their complaints.
Many members of the Xiangshou and Fangfeng clans also began to have some doubts.
Their presence here is essentially a sign of submission to Chen Wanli's formidable fighting power.
To put it bluntly, it's a belief that cooperation between the gods and the warlike humans might be a better way forward.
However, this man who was "capable of fighting, dared to fight, and skilled in fighting" has now "gone into hiding."
Is this fear of the Demon King of Heaven and Earth?
If so, then didn't they make the wrong choice?
Having boarded this ship, I had completely offended the demons, and as a result, the captain abandoned the ship!
"Since Chen Shenzu has said so, he must have his reasons! Let's do as he says."
Lei Jiang slowly opened his mouth, his gaze sweeping over Xuan Lie, Xuan San, and Fang Fengpei, these guys who were definitely going to support Chen Wanli.
"How should we follow your instructions?" Kuafu Chongqiang asked, barely suppressing his displeasure.
"If my Lei Ze clan and Hua Xu clan go back and reorganize our army, together with the old troops of the Gao Xin clan, we will have more than 10,000 Golden Core warriors."
I, the Old Ancestor of Leize, and the Goddess Huaxu led the army out.
Chongzu and Tingzu then went back to reorganize their own army.
"Then observe the direction the demon army is heading, and exchange information promptly! Provide mutual support!"
Lei Jiang expressed his thoughts, and Fang Fengpei raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What if the demon army attacks the city?"
If there is one thing they fear most about the great war, it is the destruction of their city and the slaughter of their clansmen.
"If it's a siege, they'll definitely bring large magical artifacts. As soon as our vanguard detects these large magical artifacts, the divine descendants in the city can begin to evacuate!"
"If it's a pursuit, then support each other, and at the same time, please gather all the divine ancestors to deal with it!" Lei Jiang thought for a moment and said.
"Isn't this just abandoning our tribal lands?"
"If we abandon our clan's territory, where will we go? Are we really going to feed the 'ghosts' at the Moon God Platform?"
"I never imagined that the Protoss, after all their wavering and calculations, would end up like this!"
"Ridiculous! All our scheming has come to nothing!"
Although not directly directed at Chen Wanli, the mocking tone still conveyed dissatisfaction with him.
Lei Jiang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "How do you know that the Demon Clan will attack cities and massacre clans? What if they don't?"
"How do you know that Chen Shenzu is afraid of the Demon King of Heaven and Earth, rather than having a firm grasp of the situation?"
"You have it all figured out? Ha... Why don't you explain in detail? So that we fools can feel a little more at ease."
"I do not know what Chen Shenzu is planning, but I know that you all had better not waver now, lest you ruin yourselves!"
Lei Jiang squinted and chuckled.
Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting left the courtyard one after the other, followed closely by the elites of their two clans, and the group sped out of the city.
This is tantamount to temporarily acquiescing to Lei Jiang's proposal, since there is no other way.
Ancestor Lei Ze glared at Lei Jiang: "Although you are clever, how dare you speak to the God Ancestor like that?"
“Something’s not right with Kuafu Chong,” Lei Jiang said after thinking for a moment.
"Even under the Dragon King's pressure, he stood on Chen Shenzu's side. It must be that the pressure from the Heavenly Demon King was too great, making him unable to control his temper!"
The giants of the Kuafu clan were all known for their large size and bad tempers.
Xuan Lie casually chimed in, feeling a bit breathless himself at the moment: "Should we go see Chen Shenzu again?"
Lei Jiang smiled and said, "When have you ever seen Chen Shenzu cower in battle? I think Chen Shenzu has other plans. Didn't he send us to find out if the Heavenly Demon King is participating in the war? Let's go and do it!"
Xuan Lie reluctantly agreed.
Dozens more experts swiftly left the city, transforming into rainbows in different directions.
Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting led their men out of Wangmang City and then went their separate ways.
But hundreds of miles later.
But then the two figures reunited.
"You agreed to his request too?" Fang Fengting asked, sounding confused.
Kuafu Chong seemed to understand, and said calmly, "The important matter of clan succession cannot be entrusted to one person."
"I hope he can truly become the master of the demon king of heaven and earth."
"What did he ask you to do?"
"We'll know in time!"
"It must be related to the Lunar Altar!"
"Perhaps! With Kuafu by my side, my heart is at ease."
After saying this, Fang Fengting disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had returned to the Fangfeng clan's ranks.
Looking at the ancestor who had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, Fang Fengpei couldn't help but ask, "Why did the ancestor show suspicion towards Chen Shenzu?"
Fang Fengting patted the back of Fang Fengpei's head: "Kid, you have insight, but you don't understand the complexity of the situation."
The Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun clearly intended to make Chen Wanli and even the divine race suffer a great loss, so that they would have no choice but to obey their orders.
Chen Wanli chose to sit and wait for his death, which was truly not the act of a wise ruler!
If we listen to him, we will be the first to be attacked by the Heavenly Demon Army.
To Chen Wanli, the injuries and deaths of the gods were nothing more than numbers.
He wins as long as the final outcome is in his favor.
To us, they are our kin, connected by blood!
Fang Fengpei's mouth dropped open: "Ancestor, you, you, you wouldn't be in contact with the Demon Clan, would you? Oh, no, you've been in contact with Ye Zhenjun? Or the Dragon King in secret?"
"None of that matters anymore!" Fang Fengting shook his head.
"If Ancestor Chen knew, he would not let it go easily... But how do you know that Ancestor Chen is no match for the Heavenly Demon King? The Dragon King and True Lord Ye..."
Fang Fengpei stopped in his tracks, looking as if he was about to return to the city to find Chen Wanli.
But Fang Fengting poked his neck with a finger and knocked him unconscious.
"Reporting to the Fangfeng Clan!" Fangfeng Ting addressed his juniors before slowly walking toward the bow of the flying magic vessel, the large shuttle.
Facing the black wind, his face was cold.
Trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire—everyone knows that will burn your hands!
But this "chestnut" is his own blood relative, so he has no choice but to take it even if it's a hot potato!
……
On the other side, Kuafu Yu's primordial spirit also floated out from the Nourishing Spirit Tree, clicking his tongue in amazement:
"You're getting more and more cunning. Even I can't see through you. Are you playing that old bastard Fang Fengting or that brat Chen Wanli?"
Kuafu Chong countered, "Do you think the Demon King of Heaven and Earth will attack Chen Wanli?"
"It depends on what the Heavenly Demon King wants to do! If the Heavenly Demon King wants to continue the Heavenly Origin Project, he must kill Chen Wanli to avenge Lu Su and boost morale."
Kuafu Yu pursed his lips.
"The Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun will definitely come out to stop it, right? After all, it's now obvious that they share the same needs as Chen Wanli."
"And this is a need that the Demon King of Heaven and Earth cannot fulfill, otherwise they would have cooperated long ago, wouldn't they?" Kuafu Chong frowned.
"That makes sense. But they'll break Chen Wanli's arrogance before they make their move, so they'll definitely see Chen Wanli get thoroughly humiliated!"
The word "Kuafu Yu" has a somewhat mocking tone.
After all, his physical body had been shattered by Chen Wanli, so it was impossible for him to have no resentment at all.
"Chen Wanli's refusal to come out might not be because he is unaware of the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun's intentions. So he deliberately backed down, hoping to make the Divine Race suffer a great loss and force the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun to back down?"
Kuafu Chong looked at Kuafu Yu, hoping that this clan uncle could help him sort out his thoughts.
"Although it's not exactly straightforward, you have to admit it's an easier way. It's just that morale is low, and the team will be harder to manage! But he probably doesn't care about that!"
"Ok!"
"So, who are you actually playing?"
"..."
Chen Wanli wasn't there. If he were, upon hearing what the uncle and nephew were saying, he would have said again, "Kuafu still has the same old problem. He has some brains, but not many!"
In just two days, Wang Mangcheng lost over a hundred elite soldiers.
Along with some of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiangshou clan, they also left under Lei Jiang's command.
Chen Wanli remained inside the temple and did not come out.
Apart from Xiang Qing, no one else had ever seen him.
When pressed for details, Xiang Qing only managed to say that Chen Shenzu was diligently cultivating!
fifth day.
News has already arrived.
The demon army of the Heavenly Demons is marching towards Gaoxin City.
They carried siege weapons.
All of the sacred plant gardens of the Gaoxin clan along the way were destroyed.
Although there were prior arrangements, including advance collection and transplantation, it still severely damaged morale.
When the news reached Chen Wanli's ears, he only received a "I know" and was told to let Lei Jiang arrange the follow-up.
The seventh day.
The news reached the city again.
The demon army besieged the city, and the Gaoxin clan retreated with the entire city, but the demons still managed to destroy the entire city.
The Demon King of Heaven and Earth did not make a move.
The ninth day.
The news came again.
The Heavenly Demon Army marched towards Thunder City.
The team, carrying large siege weapons, was not fast, which inadvertently gave the entire Lei Ze clan a chance to retreat.
However, the vanguard of the Heavenly Demon Army encountered experts from the Divine Race.
The two sides fought fiercely, with each side experiencing victories and defeats.
The Demon King of Heaven and Earth has not yet appeared.
The news kept coming.
Chen Wanli only said one thing: "Understood." Lei Jiang made the decision!
On the thirteenth day, he even left the temple.
However, he was inquiring about Xiangqing's marriage.
On the fifteenth day, Chen Wanli and Xiang Qingzhen held a small wedding ceremony.
Xiang Qing's eyes were filled with deep affection.
The members of the Xiangshou clan couldn't help but privately complain, "Is this the last happy event?"
On the sixteenth day, news of the fall of Leize City arrived.
No one could remain calm.
"No, we can't wait any longer! With Chen Shenzu acting like this, morale is crumbling. We have to get him to say something!"
"I must see Chen Shenzu today!"
"Chen Shenzu's actions this time are truly disheartening!"
As soon as Xuan San returned from the battlefield, he and several elders of the Xiang Shou clan stood outside the temple, deliberately making a loud commotion.
Chen Wanli walked out of the temple slowly and deliberately.
The crowd then calmed down a bit.
"Have you finished speaking?" Chen Wanli asked casually.
“Chen Shenzu… all the tribes…” Xuan San hesitated before speaking.
"Have any ethnic groups suffered casualties?" Chen Wanli asked.
Xuan San was taken aback for a moment, then replied truthfully, "Very few. They all evacuated in advance."
"The main combat force suffered heavy casualties?" Chen Wanli asked again.
"Uh, there are some..." As she spoke, Xuan San herself became a little doubtful.
The 300,000-strong Heavenly Demon Army came under the banner of revenge.
The fact that the casualties of the gods were not much different from those of minor skirmishes with the demons and monsters was unreasonable!
"Were all the treasures in the Spirit Plant Garden stolen?" Chen Wanli asked again.
“Most of them have been transplanted, there were some losses, but…” Suddenly, Xuan San felt her head buzzing.
"So you've lost material possessions, what's all the fuss about? What are you afraid of?"
When Chen Wanli uttered those last words, everyone suddenly snapped out of their fear of the 300,000 Heavenly Demon Army's revenge.
This war is indeed a bit strange!
It's called revenge, but it's not really about causing a bloodbath.
