Chapter 1036 - 1036 21 The Time Has Come Trinity_4

Chapter 1036: Chapter 21 The Time Has Come [Trinity]_4 Chapter 1036: Chapter 21 The Time Has Come [Trinity]_4 Regarding Dong Pingjiang’s statement, the other old ancestors who had participated in the battle years ago all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, even if we strategize carefully before acting, set up an advantageous position, and hold the benefits of time, location, and harmony, even if it means taking advantage of his sickness to demand his life, it’s all to our advantage.

But… considering the temper and past shameless deeds of the old demon, charging in at this stage to strike directly would basically mean abandoning everything and running for his life, prioritizing survival above all else!

“So our thinking must shift towards, what method can be used to truly trap the old demon to death, or at least make him wary. Or to put it another way, make him think he can still fight and hold his ground.”

“If we want to instill in him a sense of arrogance towards the enemy, should we not send a few people first to launch a feigned attack, allowing the old demon to confidently seize the initiative, believing he has the upper hand. This will cause him to expend some energy, and then others can lock him down from all sides. By that time, even if he realizes the truth, it will be too late to escape!”

“Without a guaranteed kill in one hit, there are always risks. It’s best if everyone builds up their strength and then appears at the same time to strike together. In a flash, take him out without giving him any chance to fight back— that’s the best strategy.”

“When facing this old demon, no amount of caution is too much. If given the slightest chance to breathe, the old demon might escape! Last time we had enough manpower and combat power to kill the old demon, we even almost succeeded. The failure came from overlooking this very point.”

Dong Pingjiang said, “With the lessons learned from the past, we cannot allow for a repeat this time. After all, our target has always been the Blood Emperor Lei Tu, not the thirteen kills of the Blood Emperor’s subordinates. In other words, as long as we kill the old demon, it’s a victory, even if all the other thirteen killers escape. Conversely, even if we eliminate all thirteen killers but fail to slay Lei Tu, the old demon, this operation will still be a failure!”

He knew that many people might not understand his point, seeing that the thirteen kills of the Blood Emperor were all severely injured and their combat power greatly impaired.

Why not strike now? Why give them time to recover before acting?

Wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?

But this was something only those who participated in the hunt for the Blood Emperor Lei Tu all those years ago could understand.

So he had to make it clear.

Otherwise, many people really might see it as a ‘needless sacrifice’, leading to a loss of control in the battle situation.

Dong Xiaoyan, who was well aware of the true meaning, promptly wrote a letter to inform Feng Yin of the entire matter.

Because it was Feng Yin’s idea to strike at this time.

Feng Yin, who was in the enemy camp, was undoubtedly the person who knew the actual situation of the other side the best.

Feng Yin, upon receiving the reply, was truly speechless, unable to understand how such a rationale could exist.

But since it was so, he could only change his approach. Thus, he replied without delay, “If that’s the case, then let’s secure the resources first.”

Dong Xiaoyan strongly agreed, believing that they could still make a fortune from this situation.

So, according to Feng Yin’s reply, she turned around and went back to discuss.

“I have a brilliant plan…”

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

You have a brilliant plan, my ass.

Definitely copied it from somewhere, right?

…

In the following several days, all was quiet and safe, and the injured were all recovering well, almost back to normal.

Being cultivators from Cloud Top, even with severe injuries, as long as their Origin Divine Consciousness was not damaged, and their organs were not lost, they could recover in a relatively short time.

The Blood Emperor Lei Tu, now increasingly at ease, set aside his vigilance.

Although the triggered turbulence was not insignificant, it was not yet enough to raise too much attention, so his side was safe!

In fact, this was more logical.

After all, he had been an ancient figure who had not wandered the world for many years. Who would remember him till now?

Even with the recent turmoil in the martial world, people’s focus would still remain on the Seven Kill Hall and Ruthless Tower. It would be rare to connect it to himself.

Now that he had no concerns, it was naturally time to urge for contact with their ally, Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

“How come there has been no action from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace for so long? In the end, they are also beneficiaries of this collaboration. Go inquire about the situation.”

“By the way, let them know that we have gathered all the ingredients for the medicinal concoction, and ask how the follow-up actions from the divine physician are going.”

Immediately, two Jinmian went to make contact.

And they were told: the Cloud Palace was also waiting for the divine physician’s return, which should be within a day or two.

So two days later they asked again: Has the divine physician returned?

The answer was: He has just returned and is currently resting.

Upon hearing that the divine physician had arrived, the Jinmian naturally wouldn’t leave, and waited until the afternoon to meet with the divine physician.

As expected, the divine physician was Dao Bone, transcendental and detached from worldly affairs— portayed by the great master Qing Ming specially. Based on appearance alone, he could outshine Feng Yin by leagues.

The two sides discussed the issues of the medicinal formula and ingredients. Qing Ming expressed satisfaction and said, “If that’s the case, then have the ingredients sent here for concocting.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Jinmian changed.

Send them here?

Won’t Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace take everything if we do that?

Even if he noticed the displeasure of the Jinmian, the divine physician’s attitude remained firm, “Even if you don’t trust me, you have no choice but to trust me now. Because I definitely won’t risk it for the sake of Dong Pingchuan.”
