Chapter 1728 — The Solitary King Speaks
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
In helping Heavenly Emperor Hao, he is thinking of the Jade Capital in the Ancestral Court, so as to make it convenient for the Dao-Achievers of the Jade Capital to descend. In a situation where the Dao-Achievers cannot descend, opening the passage of the World Tree at the Great Dark Mountain and letting the prehistoric stowaways come down will help him accomplish his aims. " Shen Mu said, "Those who stow away through the roots of the World Tree are not of the same faction as those in the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court.
There may even be grudges between the two.
" Heavenly Venerable Yun said, "But to the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court, these stowaways can still be used.
The appearance of these people can hasten the descent of the Dao-Achievers from the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court. And Heavenly Emperor Hao is waiting for you to spread out the battlefield, letting all his enemies reveal themselves, and then sweeping up the powerhouses on your side in one net! Therefore this move of the Lingguan Hall Master's, he will definitely use! If he uses it, it will surely be a thunderbolt blow that catches you off guard!
" Shen Mu looked at the board. In the section of the Carefree Land that he had laid out—the Southern Sea, the Western Lands, the Northern Frontier, the Beast Realm, and Jingping—the heads of the great dragons were all locked down so tightly that no path of escape could be found.
Lord Shang, though powerful, could hardly turn into thirty Heavenly Venerable-level existences to protect the generals of each army. Shen Mu likewise had no such means. If Heavenly Emperor Hao truly arranged the board as Heavenly Venerable Yun had said, then Jingping would in the end have only Shen Mu, Heavenly Venerable Yun, Heavenly Venerable You, Heavenly Venerable Yue, Lang Wan, and a few others left, with no strength to wage a decisive battle against the Heavenly Court! How to break the situation had become his greatest difficulty at the moment. "My battle lines are spread too far—the Western Lands, the Northern Frontier, the Southern Sea, the Southern Heaven, the Carefree Land, and even the World Tree of the Ancestral Court. These lines are too long.
If these lines were pulled in, after destroying the enemies there, they could contract and concentrate solely on the single point of the Carefree Land. " Shen Mu shifted the stones on the board. "If the Lingguan Hall Master transforms into one Ancient God after another to strike at the leaders of the various armies, we can provide support at any time, and we might even set an ambush to slay the Lingguan Hall Master.
In this way, can this situation be resolved?
" Heavenly Venerable Yun shook his head.
"At present, the Four Ancient God Emperors have already come out: the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, the Northern Emperor Black Tortoise, the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon, and the Western Emperor White Tiger have all appeared together. And Long Xiao of the Beast Realm has been killed by the Younger Earl Tu; Long Pi has taken his place. For Heavenly Emperor Hao, all his enemies have already surfaced.
This is precisely the best moment for him to draw in his net.
" Cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu's forehead, and his nape was also covered in cold sweat. He suddenly laughed. "Heavenly Emperor Hao could not possibly have such wisdom, could he? " "For an enemy, make the widest allowances.
" Heavenly Venerable Yun's face was calm. "In those years, I also thought Heavenly Emperor Hao did not have such wisdom. Later, I was defeated.
Those who underestimated his crown prince Xie Wuqi died miserably; those who underestimated his Ancient God Heavenly Emperor died miserably; and I, who underestimated him, died miserably as well. " Shen Mu laughed heartily, but his sweat only became more profuse. "I have a plan that can break this game of Heavenly Emperor Hao's. " Heavenly Venerable Yun looked at him.
