Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

west Shuimiao stared intently at An Lushan, and coldly snorted, "Hmph! You have tried to kill Zhuge Liang several times, how can you expect me to believe that there wasn't some personal motive involved!"

It was obvious that west Shuimiao harbored some resentment towards An Lushan. If he hadn't provoked Kongming, how could he have brought such a huge trouble upon the Biyou Sect!

"Although I am not a cultivator, I believe I possess some strategic acumen. That scoundrel Zhuge has long harbored the ambition to attack my three states. If the Western Sect Master had heeded my advice earlier, we wouldn't be in this predicament today!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Park Hui, who admired An Lushan's wisdom, quickly waved his hand to signal An Lushan to step back and chimed in.

"Sect Master, what the Crown Prince says makes sense. The root of all this is Zhuge Liang. If we eliminate him now, the Jade Cauldron and Heavenly Thunder Sects will naturally crumble!"

west Shuimiao frowned slightly. Although he still harbored resentment towards An Lushan, Park Hui's words made him fall into deep thought.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "Elder Park, I'm entrusting you with full responsibility for Zhuge Liang's matter!"

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely find the hiding place of this fiend!"

After saying that, Park Hui led several Golden Core elders and over a hundred disciples away from the mountain gate.

"Pass on my order: activate the mountain-protecting formation. Elders and disciples of each peak, defend according to the plan."

hum...

With a buzzing sound, a golden light screen suddenly lit up above the Biyou Sect, its killing aura so tangible that it seemed as if an inverted bowl was covering the sect.

These mountain-protecting formations are all both offensive and defensive, and are all guarded by Golden Core cultivators, so their power is naturally formidable, ready to meet the attacks of the Jade Cauldron and Heavenly Thunder Sects...

At this time, Kongming was in a secluded cave surrounded by green mountains, making it no easy task for outsiders to find him!

"Prime Minister! The Prince has sent word that Empress Wu has appointed Du Ruhui as the military supervisor, and he asks how to deal with it?" Zhao Yun asked Kongming as he entered the cave.

"Let him make the decision himself about this small matter!"

Kongming slightly opened his eyes and spoke.

In recent days, he had vaguely sensed signs that his cultivation was about to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, so he decided to make further plans after breaking through here.

Empress Wu's decision to appoint Du Ruhui as military supervisor was also quite meaningful.

It should be noted that the downfall of Li Chengqian, the Prince of Zhongshan, was orchestrated by Du Ruhui. Although he was ostensibly acting on orders, the process was far more brutal than it appeared.

Empress Wu's dispatch of Du Ruhui may be an attempt to test Li Guangling's attitude.

It has to be said that the most poisonous heart is that of a woman; even the current prime minister was thrown out as bait...

……

"This place is not only heavily guarded, but also has the Jade Cauldron and the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Zhuge Kongming will not be easy to capture!"

Park Hwi stood on the mountaintop, looking down at the garrison below and sighed.

"Hahaha... Elder Park, I brought you here not to capture Zhuge Liang!" An Lushan said mysteriously.

"Oh! What is the meaning of your actions?" Park Hui asked, somewhat puzzled.

After they descended the mountain, An Lushan, with his numerous spies, successfully located Li Guangling's garrison.

After Li Guangling occupied the prefecture, he did not move into the Prince An's mansion, but instead stationed his army in a valley a hundred miles away from the Prince An's mansion.

This demonstrates the severity of the security measures.

Upon hearing this, An Lushan's eyes flashed with a cunning glint: "Elder Park, if I were Zhuge Liang, I would never expose my hiding place. Think about it, if the Sima family were to arrive, do you think the cultivators from the Jade Cauldron and Heavenly Thunder Sects would dare to prevent them from entering the military camp to interrogate Zhuge Liang?"

Although Park Hui didn't understand, he had always admired An Lushan's wisdom, so he didn't interrupt and gestured for him to continue.

"I deduce that Zhuge Liang must be hiding in an extremely secluded place. If we rely on just a hundred or so people, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Now that we've confirmed this place is Li Guangling's lair, why don't we wait for him to come to us?"

Upon hearing this, Park Hui pondered for a moment, but his mind still couldn't quite process it, so he asked, "Since you say Zhuge Liang won't show himself, how do we wait for him to appear?"

"Since Zhuge Liang is the person behind the scenes, does Elder Park think Li Guangling wouldn't report to Zhuge Liang?" An Lushan said mysteriously.

Park Hui's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "You mean that as long as we monitor the carrier hawks that fly out, we can find out where Kongming is?"

An Lushan nodded slightly: "That's right. We only need to set up a tight net around the area and find any suspicious carriers to locate Zhuge Liang's hiding place in one fell swoop."

"This plan is brilliant! The Crown Prince is indeed exceptionally intelligent!" Park Hwi nodded and praised, but immediately added.

"However, there are too many hawks in the military camp. If we have to track them one by one, I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower!"

"Elder Park is overthinking it. We just need to keep an eye on Li Guangling. I have my own way of verifying him!" An Lushan said dismissively, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Park Hui didn't waste any time and immediately arranged for men to lie in ambush around the valley, keeping a close watch on Li Guangling's camp...

For several days in a row, more than a hundred hawks flew out, and more than a dozen flew out of Li Guangling's military tent, but An Lushan remained unmoved.

On this day, a strange flying beast hovered above the military camp. Upon closer inspection, the characters "Sima" were embroidered on its belly.

“The Sima family!” Park Hui looked up at the sky, his voice trembling slightly.

"Hmph! You've finally arrived!" An Lushan snorted coldly, his words showing little fear.

Perhaps he was just an ordinary person and could not understand the weight the Sima family of Shengzhou held in the hearts of the cultivators.

"Ignorance is bliss!"

Park Hui shook his head, offering no further explanation to An Lushan, and ordered his disciples to conceal themselves.

An Lushan's lips curled slightly upward, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Elder Park, if I'm not mistaken, Zhuge Liang's whereabouts will be known soon!"

Park Hui asked with some confusion, "Your Highness, what does this have to do with our capture of Kongming?"

An Lushan patiently explained, "With the Sima family appearing, Li Guangling will definitely be nervous. He will surely pass this message on to Kongming, and this is the opportunity I have been waiting for!"

"The young master is indeed remarkable. In this way, we not only found Zhuge Liang, but also rendered a great service to the Sima family!"

Park Hui's face lit up with joy. If he could take this opportunity to make contact with the Sima family, it would be a great thing. The status of Biyou Sect in the cultivation world would surely rise in the future.

At this point, Zhuge Liang's own affairs became irrelevant...

The arrival of the Sima family members at the military camp immediately caused a stir.

The two cultivators dared not delay and immediately went to pay their respects. After some questioning, the three left the military camp.

After all, given their status, they wouldn't deign to make things difficult for a group of mortals, and they wouldn't even give a second glance to cultivators from the second sect.

As for this dispute, it held absolutely no interest for them...
