Chapter 898: Chapter 636 The Demon Clan Has Already Taken Action_2

Within Zhao Fan’s aura, a flickering black mist was deeply hidden, but Wang Yang still detected it!

Indeed, the Demon Clan’s stealthy ploys have infiltrated the positions of the sect masters of the Seven Sects and Eight Factions!

After a moment, Zhao Fan withdrew his domain and shook his head, obviously having failed.

At this moment, everyone below understood that the unlocking of Snow Maiden’s spiritual aperture was no simple task; otherwise, the celestial Mountain would not have used celestial Dao Essence Blood as a bargaining chip.

Subsequently, many people started to attempt one after another. Wang Yang also instructed the three of Huaying to step forward and try, to avoid suspicion.

The allure of the Snow Lotus’ celestial Dao Essence Blood prompted almost everyone present to make an attempt, even Heavenly Master Zhang Xiaofan made a move to try.

Zhang Xiaofan’s actions further confirmed to Wang Yang the presence of Underworld Blood within him.

Finally, after everyone had tried, it was evident success was impossible because the spiritual aperture of the Snow Lotus had long been unlocked, merely sealed by Ancient Secret Arts atop the celestial Mountain.

From the start, the outcome was already predestined!

"Everyone, it’s unfortunate that no one succeeded. Even our celestial Mountain has exhausted all means and various attempts but still couldn’t unlock the spiritual aperture for the Snow Lotus; it seems it’s fate!"

"Today’s feast ends here. Please retire early, for tomorrow morning at the Kunlun Summit, we still need everyone to appear!"

Ji Minghe showed a look of regret, issued an order for the guests to leave, and everyone bowed in respect and departed individually.

Wang Yang left together with the three of Huaying; he had already sensed all the Demon Clan presence within, now only needing an opportunity to inform Prince Xin, Wang Zhen.

Wang Yang’s assessment of Wang Zhen had now changed; although he exuded an intense scholarly air, being from Confucianism, his strategic depth was unparalleled.

Especially Wang Zhen’s means of suppressing Liu Wen, others might not comprehend, but Wang Yang saw clearly.

In the art of divining celestial secrets, experts in this Square World are few, in Capital Luoyang, only State Preceptor Xu Mao!

Now, there’s another: King Xin, Wang Zhen!

It seems this world truly is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not as simple as it appears on the surface.

When Wang Yang returned to his room, Su Yue was already asleep; participating in the Summit of the celestial Mountain tomorrow obviously required conserving energy, so she didn’t notice Wang Yang’s return.

Seeing this, Wang Yang didn’t disturb her, gently closed the door and laid down a protective barrier.

His figure flickered and disappeared.

Upon reappearing, he was already within King Xin, Wang Zhen’s room.

With Wang Yang’s arrival, Wang Zhen was not surprised, only furrowed his brow slightly; just as he was about to speak, Wang Yang made a signal for silence and lightly shook his head.

Then, telepathy resonated in Wang Zhen’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Though today’s setup was flawless, the Demon Clan’s pawns are not ordinary; they have already sensed something. Their aura has locked onto me; they are likely to investigate!"

Wang Yang’s telepathy sounded, Wang Zhen nodded, pondered for a moment, then responded telepathically.

"Here at the celestial Mountain, they dare not make a move. Looks like the sealing grand formation in the military needs to be activated ahead of schedule!"

"Yes! Prince Xin’s thoughts align with mine; within the celestial Mountain, they dare not act rashly. Locking onto my aura is merely to verify if their identity is exposed, but the Demon Clan’s pawns will certainly scheme, with someone slipping away first to prevent total annihilation!"

"So the master’s intention is to activate the great formation—to trap but not kill?"

Wang Zhen seemed to comprehend Wang Yang’s intention, tested the waters with his question.

Wang Yang nodded; if they acted to kill, it would undoubtedly cause chaos.

The Imperial Court’s army appearing at the foot of the celestial Mountain, moreover, being the most lethal Blood Tiger Division, would certainly be used by the Demon Clan’s pawns to stir trouble.

The Cultivation Sect harbors deep resentment toward the Royal Family’s domination of cosmic fate, but dares not speak out, given the Wang Family’s strength, none dare challenge their brilliance.

Yet the Wang Family’s Blood Tiger Division ventures into the Western Territory and even dares to encircle the celestial Mountain at this time, which will surely incite everyone’s ire.

At this time, Demon Clan’s pawns fan the flames, celestial Mountain naturally finds it difficult to advance or retreat, and the agreement with the Wang Family will no longer exist.

Given celestial Mountain’s status as the leader of the Cultivation Sect, they must show sufficient response!

Being surrounded by the Imperial Court’s Blood Tiger Division, celestial Mountain must react, activate the great formation, and suppress the Blood Tiger Division according to reason and sentiment.

In the ensuing conflict, Demon Clan’s pawns will surely seize the opportunity to depart, Zhang Xiaofan will also join the fray, awaiting the next decade’s Summit of the celestial Mountain!

Such a meticulously crafted plan would then be destroyed at once, and once the Demon Clan knows their cover is blown, they will surely hide again.

Currently, the Demon Clan’s pawns have fully integrated the Human Race’s bloodline spiritual power, their aura has already changed, and once hidden apart, it may no longer be detectable.

All preparations will be in vain!

"Very well! Everything will follow the master’s insight!"

Wang Zhen nodded, his figure flickered and disappeared; to cover Wang Zhen’s exit from being detected, Wang Yang did not leave together with him.

Instead, he sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.

He came to find King Xin, Wang Zhen first to lay a protective barrier for Su Yue, and secondly to create an opportunity for Wang Zhen to leave.

The aura locked by the Demon Clan’s pawns was Wang Yang’s; they naturally couldn’t perceive Wang Zhen’s departure, moreover, Wang Yang believed Wang Zhen had sufficient means to exit without detection.

The Royal Family’s Prince Xin, the sole Prince of a Different Surname, is capable of being regarded alongside the unrivaled Guardian Sun King!

About one Hour later, Wang Zhen’s figure reformed in the room, his expression extremely serious.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing such an expression, Wang Yang quickly stepped forward to inquire, Wang Zhen took a deep breath and spoke in a grave tone.

"Previously when the master informed me, the reason Emperor dispatched a Tiger Division, I arranged all my forces under my command to gather at the celestial Mountain, but unexpectedly was detected by the Demon Clan’s pawns, and now completely annihilated!"

"How is that possible, what about the Blood Tiger Division?"

Wang Yang couldn’t believe the Demon Clan’s pawns could discern clues beforehand; this was simply impossible, those who knew the plan were only Wang Yang, Wang Zhen, and the Emperor!

"The Blood Tiger Division having the Wang Family ancestors present, was not noticed or detected; the military’s formation remains intact, I have already explained the master’s plan clearly, once escaping Demon Clan’s pawns are found, trap but do not kill!"

"Yes! Your Highness, where were your forces slain?"

Upon knowing the Blood Tiger Division was unharmed, Wang Yang nodded, then asked.

"Haoran Sect! At my order, assembled to cooperate in cleaning out the Demon Clan’s pawns among the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, since the master-level pawns are all at the summit of celestial Mountain!"

"It seems there are Demon Clan’s pawns around your Highness!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhen’s words, Wang Yang couldn’t help but smile; the Blood Tiger Division wasn’t found or detected, yet only Wang Zhen’s forces were discovered and completely massacred.

This indicates Demon Clan’s pawns are certainly around Wang Zhen, having discovered the assembling forces intending to clean out the Demon Clan, the plants reported it and acted first.

However, what puzzled Wang Yang was that the master-level pawns of the Demon Clan were all within the summit of celestial Mountain, yet outside, there were still powerful ones capable of slaughtering Wang Zhen’s forces!

"The master says there are Demon Clan’s pawns hidden around me... her!"

Wang Zhen exclaimed in realization, a face appearing in his mind. The Emperor’s letter bore a unique seal, only Prince Xin, Wang Zhen could open it.

The specific plan was only known to Prince Xin, Wang Zhen, hence the Blood Tiger Division remained intact, undetected just at the foot of the celestial Mountain!

But Wang Zhen’s orders were different, not deliberately conveyed in the form of a sealed letter, but handled by his personal maid, Wan’er!

"Your Highness, the Demon Clan has already made a move, one Tiger Division is far from sufficient to control the current situation, moreover, the Blood Tiger Division must guard outside the celestial Mountain; the summit of celestial Mountain will commence tomorrow morning, now contacting the Imperial Court to dispatch additional Tiger Divisions is too late!"

"According to the master’s insight, is there any solution?"

"Summon Guardian Sun King, commanding the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders to come and flatten the Western Region!"

Wang Yang paused briefly, then stated outright.
