Chapter 964 - 964 336 An Unexpected Discovery

964: Chapter 336: An Unexpected Discovery 964: Chapter 336: An Unexpected Discovery “How strange, why did the Demon Race retreat so swiftly this time?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and muttered to himself, eyeing the demon army that would disperse upon touch, unable to make head or tail of it for a moment.

Li Ping’an was also somewhat confused.

Were these demon soldiers giving him face?

It was as if his sudden appearance had scared the demon army away.

Although, in fact, it was indeed him who had scared them off.

The plot laid out by the Calamity Sovereign was a chain of schemes, triggered by Li Ping’an’s appearance from the Holy Mother Palace, with the demon soldiers launching a frontal attack on the three cities of Dingxi.

Evil demons launched a surprise attack on Xuanyuan Palace.

After the great battle, when the Human Race became lax internally and externally, the plot was for the Roc Bird to try and kidnap Li Ping’an and kill him beyond the heavens.

However, after waiting for over two months, Li Ping’an did not show up at the Holy Mother Palace.

Just when the Calamity Sovereign had ordered the hiding Roc Bird to withdraw from the Holy Mother Palace, still indecisive about how to explain to the bird, and preparing to strike at Xuanyuan Palace with full force,

Li Ping’an appeared beside Xuanyuan Huangdi, right in these three cities of Dingxi.

At this very moment, if the Calamity Sovereign were to attack Xuanyuan Palace again, there was a high chance that Li Ping’an would summon the thousands of Intercepting Sect Immortals.

The timing was wrong, and the location was wrong as well.

A full plate of plans, due to the initial ‘false intelligence’, became completely unimplementable, nullifying two months of effort, enough to make the Calamity Sovereign spew blood in anger.

However, the Calamity Sovereign did not give up because of this.

He convened his experts again to discuss, deciding to wait until after Li Ping’an had left, then truly launch a surprise attack on Xuanyuan Palace, to first weaken the power of the Human Race before finding an opportunity to assassinate the new Heavenly Emperor.

He was determined to get Daoist Luya and the Roc on board with the big ship of the Western Sect.

In the tower of the city gate in the three cities of Dingxi,

Xuanyuan Huangdi and Li Ping’an took their seats again, with several Ministers reporting on the various anomalies during the recent pressure from the demon soldiers.

Fenghou frowned heavily and said softly,

“The other side made such a noise, loud thunder with little rain, which doesn’t match the behavior of the West and the Demon Race.

“There must be some plot here, but they have given it up for some reason.”

Everyone looked towards Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an shrugged his shoulders: “I’m currently only capable of fighting Golden Immortal Realm experts.”

“But you can summon the Intercepting Sect Immortals,” asked Xuanyuan Huangdi, “Isn’t Guiling by your side?”

Li Ping’an pointed to his sleeve and smiled, “She’s a bit drunk, drowsy, and I brought her out.

She’s still asleep now.”

“She can get drunk?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi laughed, then frowned and muttered,

“Now the Six Great Masters are not around, I thought we had an absolute advantage over the Demon Race, but I didn’t expect all kinds of ghastly and mischievous demons to spring out.

“Back then, many experts from the Hundred Clans fled this mainstream world, and recently we have sensed their presence one after another.

“Sigh, who knows when we can exterminate all the great demons and end this war.”

Fenghou smiled and said, “Your Majesty needs not worry, I have divined recently, and mostly I have seen auspicious signs.”

Cangjie said in a heavy voice, “A thousand years is not really that long.”

However, Lord Yushi said, “But when the Six Saints return after a thousand years, the West, with its two saints, will have relatively greater strength compared to other Masters.

Our pressure will also be greater; no one knows what rules the Saints will set.

If the Western Continent is given to the Two Saints of the Western Religion by the Six Saints, wouldn’t our tens of thousands of years of hard work have been in vain?”

“Yes, there are too many uncertainties a thousand years later.”

“No need to be so pessimistic; the Holy Mother also became a Saint, she will continue to protect the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an, however, discerned that the matter of the Six Great Masters’ ascendency was making each high-ranking member of the Human Race a bit uneasy.

After discussing for a while, due to lack of effective information, the experts did not come to any conclusion; Xuanyuan Huangdi ordered to strengthen the defenses in all regions, and the several heavenly generals took their leave and departed.

Only the two emperors and Fenghou remained in the room.

Xuanyuan Huangdi folded his arms and sat in his chair, pondering deeply.

Fenghou went to sit on a wooden chair to the side, continuously manipulating his fingers, and also unraveling some difficult problem.

Li Ping’an mimicked the others, also adopting a puzzled frown and a meditative expression.

After a short while, Xuanyuan Huangdi slapped the table: “Then let’s go back to cooking meat in the copper pot!

I’ll handle the copper pot!”

Fenghou immediately stood up, “I’ve already calculated where the tenderest lamb is, and I’ll go catch it now.”

Li Ping’an almost slid off the chair, helplessly looking at these two whose combined age could be close to nineteen thousand, and quietly took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from his sleeve.

If it came to this, then he was certainly no longer sleepy.

An hour later.

In the city gate tower, amidst swirls of cooking smoke, Li Ping’an and Xuanyuan Huangdi discussed the strategy against the Dragon Clan.

Fenghou received several Jade Talismans and began calculating the many unusual aspects of this demon soldier invasion, busy even as he ate.

When Li Ping’an had eaten his fill and was about to take his leave, Fenghou uttered a soft tsk, wiped the sauce from his beard, and stood up to bow to Xuanyuan Huangdi.

Fenghou reported hurriedly, “Your Majesty, although the Demon Race has withdrawn their troops, they have not disbanded.

The presence of dozens of ferocious demons has appeared both inside and outside the demon camp.

Almost six hundred ferocious demons in total.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi inquired, “What about the Dao Soldiers of the Western Sect?”

“We have not yet detected traces of Dao Soldiers,” answered Fenghou, “they are probably worried about the Dao Soldiers being captured by the Heavenly Court again, now they simply don’t use them.”

“Their previous withdrawal was probably out of wariness for Ping’an being here; there must be a grand design behind it all.”

With his fingers tapping on the tabletop, Xuanyuan Huangdi said gravely,

“Let the East Alliance issue a warning order to the East Continent to guard against demon mischief.

Each of the five great military camps to send one hundred thousand troops to the East Alliance headquarters, the East Alliance headquarters to prepare the moving array, ready to support wherever an incident occurs.”

“Yes!

I will go relay your orders!”

“Feng, you take your time eating; there’s no rush this moment.”
