Chapter 789: Chapter 269 Retreat the Enemy【2 in 1】_3 Chapter 789: Chapter 269 Retreat the Enemy【2 in 1】_3 The man in black was silent, only huffing in a manner that clearly said he knew his capabilities best and was on a precarious footing.

The Purple Emperor’s gaze suddenly hardened, saying, “Speaking of which…when exactly did you leave?”

The man in black coughed, saying, “Just when the White Rainbow was engaged in battle…”

Purple Emperor: “Eh? That moment?”

His expression changed: “You!”

The man in black huffed, saying, “Back then, I saw the White Rainbow charging into battle, so I was prepared to do the same and end this combat swiftly. But it was as if my vision blurred. Suddenly, beside you, Purple Emperor, an additional figure appeared…”

“Look, when I examined closely…damn, I naturally ran for my life. A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Of course, I had to steer clear from a conflict.”

“!!!”

The Purple Emperor nearly exploded with fury: “You damn well could’ve given a warning before bailing…”

Thinking about it still sent cold sweats down his back: “Did you even realize that I was gleefully watching White Rainbow display his dominating might, battling the Cat Emperor, and feeling as if I had everything under control? I was closely observing the Cat Emperor’s weak points, ready to deliver a fatal hit and secure our victory when suddenly, I heard someone beside me striking up a conversation, debating…who would win among them…damn, I was scared shitless!”

Even remembering it now still makes him break out in cold sweat.

It was like encountering a casual greeting from someone behind you in an empty graveyard in the middle of the night: So you came too?

The chilling fear…

The man in black angrily retorted, “If I had alerted you…would I have been able to escape? That was Peng Wanli! The ultimate demon among demons!”

“Disloyal!”

“You’re the disloyal one!”

The three of them continued their verbal spat, all filled with indignation, gradually moving further apart.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew towards them. The Purple Emperor casually beckoned, catching the light in his hand. It was a missive carried by this streak of light.

This type of light-transmitted letter was the fastest means of conveying information in this world, it was used once and then destroyed. It was created by entrusting a single streak of spiritual power to a subordinate. The subordinate would gather information, compile it, and then transmit it back. Only the original master of the spiritual power could receive these letters. Therefore, this type of light-transmitted letter was excellent for precise communication, but its use was limited to the most powerful entities. It was too precious for common use.

Right now, the intel Purple Emperor received was a detailed summary of recent events relayed to him by the Great Yan spy network.

Such precious letters only carried facts and prohibited guesswork or judgment.

Upon scanning the content, the Purple Emperor couldn’t help but be shocked-

“Damn, how can this be? Not only can the Yuezhou Healer treat Demon King rank beings, but he can also treat the Demon Emperor. Jiao Sansheng, a once-in-a-lifetime genius from the Jiao Clan, appeared recently in Yuezhou City…

“It must be the Demon Jiao who wanted to join the fight before. He indeed possesses Cloud Top strength. Also, the Bear King of Mount Siji has left Yuezhou City recently… Damn, seems like ‘Killing Layout’ prognosis of Mao Yimiao wasn’t just an empty threat. Since the Bear King and Jiao Sansheng are real, it’s likely that Emperor Jiao has been invited as well.”

“The Demon Jiao of the Demon Clan is low-profile but extremely mysterious. His entanglement with Mao Yimiao is not a big surprise. With all this in mind, the appearance of that old demon, Peng Wanli, in this chaos might not be a bad thing. Weighing both sides, even if we exclude that old demon, we aren’t guaranteed to win!

“But Mao Yimiao is indeed ruthless. For her scheme, she even used her husband and sister-in-law as bargaining chips… This isn’t good. The medical skills of the Yuezhou Healer exceed our estimates… those two foxes might not be beyond saving.”

“Yuezhou Healer…”

The Purple Emperor’s eyes flashed curiously as he glanced at White Rainbow, then at the man in black.

Remembering how he didn’t alert him when he saw his greatest foe nearby…

He decided to stay silent and did not share the letter’s content with the other two.

Light-transmitted letters were typically a means for subordinate forces to report important information and strengths to their leader. The Purple Emperor did not tell the other two, nor did the White Rainbow mind. If they were in the same position, they too wouldn’t share important information unless necessary.

But all three of them felt like they had eaten shit. For the first time in who knows how many years, the three of them had combined forces, but still failed!

It was simply unbearable!

Walking with them for a while, White Rainbow eventually shook his head, “I’m not enjoying this. Let’s separate and do our own things.”

Without saying a word, he turned into a white light and disappeared.

The man in black let out a cold laugh, also departing without a word.

Purple Emperor’s expression didn’t change. After both of them had vanished, he turned around, looking in the direction of Yuezhou City and fell into deep thought.

“The Healer?”

“Why did Peng Wanli appear in Yuezhou? The Master once said that even though he achieved victories in his previous battles, he was in fact heavily wounded… it may not have healed that easily. Currently, he’s present; could it be due to the young healer? If this young healer could heal even Peng Wanli’s wounds, then I’ll have to reevaluate my perception of him!”

“Although Peng Wanli keeps a mysterious front and dominates from above… the reality may not be so simple.”

Purple Emperor secretly mused, “He didn’t try to kill us, possibly because he hasn’t fully healed and is afraid of worsening his condition, hence the intentionally high-profile demeanor…”

“However, his aura doesn’t seem fake, indicating he has immense fighting power, so it’s possible he’s recovered a bit…”
