Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

Even Su Mu, thousands of miles away, could feel the tremor of this sword strike. The figure's location was completely obliterated, and the entire Yan Dynasty felt the shock to varying degrees.

Fortunately, the vibration stopped in an instant.

Su Mu withdrew her hand and said calmly, "You're really lucky; you didn't die even after all that. I didn't expect there to be others besides that one. I really don't know whether to be happy or unlucky."

He already knew who the other person was, and he had a rough idea of ​​who he had saved. He wondered if he had acted on his own initiative or personally. Didn't Mirage Dragon say that person was missing? What an honor!

After saying that, he asked Cao Chen if he had found any trace of the other party?

Cao Chen's voice quickly reached Su Mu's ears: "They can't find them. The other party has severed all ties of fate. We can only wait until he exposes himself again, or until we force them out once more."

"Good job. This sword strike didn't kill him, but it crippled him, so it achieved its purpose. We still have time; let's play with them slowly. He escaped this time; let's see who can save him next time."

"However, we need to speed things up. Judging from their actions, they seem to be stalling for time. I wonder if they're brewing some other plan or something else..."

Su Mu didn't finish her words, but her eyes were dark and unclear.

The current situation is becoming more and more chaotic.

The town once again returned to peace. Apart from the pharmacy exploding into the sky for unknown reasons, nothing else seemed to have happened. This made the people in the town subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, although they themselves did not know why they were relieved.

......

"You're too impulsive."

"Yes, I didn't expect that person to be so powerful."

"The Heavenly Emperor had long ago said that we should not provoke them unless absolutely necessary. The beings of this era are not as weak as we imagine; some have even reached that level. Otherwise, why do you think the Heavenly Emperor would have stood by and watched these thieves steal from his celestial abode without doing anything?"

The Heavenly Emperor...

"He doesn't have time now; he's seizing the future. But you did well this time, keeping him in this country as long as possible, delaying his departure from time, the better for us. Don't worry about the gains or losses in this country, even if we lose everything. Our mission is to hold him off; every minute we delay, our chances of winning increase."

"I understand, I'll definitely be more careful next time. But why are you here?"

"Of course, it's to save you, you idiot."

"You know, that's not what I'm asking. Has that person already made a decision?"

"No, no, it's just that I made the decision."

"After all, I was once a member of the Kunlun lineage."

&34;…&34;

&34;…&34;

The two of them were speechless. They didn't have much of a relationship, and if Kaiming Beast wasn't so important, she wouldn't have wanted to expose herself to that person so quickly. He had only saved Kaiming Beast through some other means. Didn't he see that the area had been wiped out by a single sword strike? They had nearly both perished there.

The Kaiming Beast was crucial, after all, a rare being possessing the power of fate. Predicting and understanding fate would be crucial for the subsequent war. Sima Ming had clearly sided with the creatures of this era, and without the Kaiming Beast, restraining Sima Ming would be difficult.

Now the Emperor of Heaven has gained some advantage in time.

They had to leave no stone unturned. The balance of this war was tilting, and they were the weaker party.

They need time to wait for more primordial deities to awaken.

"Can we hold them off?" He was confident before, but after witnessing that sword strike, his confidence shattered like the collapsing sky.

He wasn't stupid enough to think it was chance or luck. He himself was the god who controlled fate, so he wouldn't think the other party couldn't strike a second blow. That was self-deception. The other party had many opportunities to make mistakes, and if they made just one, the sword would fall, slicing them into nothingness. Forget about winning, even the chance of survival was slim.

I don't know.

"However, Dijiang is about to return. With his addition, perhaps we can survive. After all, the more chaotic the situation, the stronger Dijiang becomes."

"Look on the bright side, with him in front of you, he might be too tired to kill both of you."

Heh~

......

North, Jizhou.

Chen Tao sat down and took a sip of tea. Then, with a loud bang, the ground shook for a moment, causing him to stand up subconsciously.

"What was that noise just now?"

Soon, someone came to report. The momentary tremor wasn't limited to just one street; the entire Jizhou City shook for a moment. Many people said it was a dragon turning over.

Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He'd thought the prince was going to attack. Attacking in broad daylight would be a bit too violent. Fortunately, he was overthinking it.

There had been quite a lot going on lately. They could see that Prince Cheng was planning an opportunity. After all, those shameful things were being done in broad daylight. Didn't they think the incident was big enough?

At this stage, the other party was still very restrained, at least not attracting the attention of the court. However, Chen Tao's idea was completely opposite to the other party's. He wanted to make the matter as big as possible, so that the people in the court would take action.

"Should we give them a chance?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Isn't that what I'm doing? I leave them at a low profile for a few days, otherwise why would they willingly take the bait?"

"I understand." The shopkeeper nodded.

Just make things bigger.

Prince Cheng's staff had been feeling agitated lately. Prince Cheng intended to eliminate them, but they seemed to have received some information and hadn't left the courtyard for several days. Since the courtyard was in a busy city, they didn't dare to act too blatantly. If this got out of hand, it would be disastrous.

We must find a way to lure the other party to a place where there is no one.

Soon a plan formed in his mind. So he called the servant, whispered something in his ear, and asked him to do it.

Meanwhile, Chen Tao was in high spirits as he listened to the steward's report. It was worth the many days he had spent in the courtyard.

"The other party implies there's room for negotiation, but this seems more like an excuse."

"It's alright. Since they want to talk, just go along with it. We can't try to get something for nothing. Since they're using grain as an excuse, let's extract some from them first. They can't just let us make this trip for nothing, can they? Tell them we're willing to talk, but first we need to assess their integrity," Chen Tao instructed.
