Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 287 - 287 275 The Beginning of a Conspiracy

Chapter 287: Chapter 275: The Beginning of a Conspiracy Chapter 287: Chapter 275: The Beginning of a Conspiracy Zen Master asked, “What do you think Wei Sisan is thinking right now?”

Yang Jing replied, “He must be considering whether to help Sky Domain City.”

“Not necessarily, he’ll definitely take a look at the situation and check to see if we’re plotting anything. But we can’t allow him to figure it out.” The Zen Master was resolute, insisting that they must make them believe that he was determined to seize Sky Domain City.

“They won’t notice.”

“I’m not planning to give them time to figure it out, regardless of whether they actually can.” The Zen Master continued, “Our leader has already arrived at the outskirts of Wasteland City, the question now is how we can lure some of them out, giving Mutant Winged Dragon a chance to breach the city. The longer this takes, the greater the chance of them discovering our weaknesses.”

Shen Tian said, “That’s correct.”

“Everything crucial still hinges on us.” After their defeat at Wasteland City, the Zen Master began planning their next step. He thought about their next target, Sky Domain City, with hardly any room for error. This matched exactly what Mutant Winged Dragon was thinking. For the past twenty-plus days, he had been preparing. They had already secretly dispatched several people into Sky Domain City, although not a large number, there were still over a dozen of them.

Yang Jing asked, “So the key lies with us?”

“Yes, Wei Sisan isn’t stupid. If we attack casually, just scratching the surface, they definitely won’t send reinforcements. They will only consider it once they see the real potential of us annihilating the Sky Domain Sect and posing a legitimate threat. Therefore, I’ve mobilized all our forces for one decisive strike. We need to show them that we intend to seize Sky Domain City as quickly as possible.”

“I think they will send people over very soon.”

“That’s not certain. If they learn that the Sky Domain Sect can hold their own, they surely wouldn’t send reinforcements, and our plan would be completely ruined.” The Zen Master stated, “Hence, the key still lies here with us. We must make them aware of our genuine ability to conquer Sky Domain City. Only by pulling some of the New City Sect out could we greatly improve our chances of capturing Wasteland City.”

Shen Li said, “Zen Master, please go on with your specific plan.”

“The plan has been mentioned before, but I’ll go over it again. I have no intention of dawdling. I must make the New City Sect realize that we intend to swiftly seize Sky Domain City without any reserves. Tomorrow when the battle commences, I’ll be in charge of the main assault, Shen Li will handle the left flank, and Shen Tian the right. Our disciples within the city will start fires to create chaos, and all the beasts, whether Winged Dragons or mutant beasts, will be released.”

“No reservations?”

“No reservations. I want to see just how much strength the Sky Domain Sect actually possesses. After all, we’ll have to conquer them sooner or later. I believe that the Sky Domain Sect is certainly not as strong as the New City Sect, and they are also short-handed compared to New City Sect.” The Zen Master declared.

Everyone was nodding in agreement. If New City Sect did send out people, the chances of capturing Wasteland City would dramatically increase.

The Zen Master felt the need to act while the New City Sect was still in the dark, guessing at their intentions.

“What if they don’t fall for it?”

“That won’t happen. Wei Sisan knows that they must join forces with Sky Domain City to withstand us. Relying on their own strength, they simply cannot take us down. Therefore, they won’t allow anything to happen to Sky Domain City.” The Zen Master stated with certainty, adding, “If they don’t combine forces, it would actually be easier for us to deal with them. They can’t avoid this.”

Shen Li said, “If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to discuss. Let’s just give them a good fight.”

“Right now, the situation is extremely advantageous for us. They don’t know our intentions, they don’t know that Mutant Winged Dragon has infiltrated their city. Once we eliminate New City Sect, it will be easy for us to eradicate Sky Domain Sect. They might even surrender.” Shen Tian stated.

Yang Jing said, “No need for more discussion, let’s just go at them.”

Zen Master said, “Alright, let’s give them a tough fight. Whether we can take down the Wasteland City or not depends on the next few days. Everyone, give it your all.”

The next day, as soon as day broke and the mist had yet to dissipate, the Zen Master launched a ferocious attack. In less than two hours, winged dragons swarmed out from all directions.

The Zen Master’s forces charged like madmen, completely disregarding any rules. They attacked forcefully whenever they saw a possible weakness, truly giving off the impression that they intended to seize Sky Domain City quickly. This was nothing like their assault on Wasteland City twenty days ago.

Yuan Menhai and his forces were thrown into disarray.

Impatient to act was the Jiu Yiren, saying, “It seems like these people think there’s no tomorrow. We are having difficulty holding out.”

As he was speaking, a fire broke out behind him.

Ming Bei rushed over and reported, “Someone has secretly set fires in the city.”

“Damn it, I knew they would resort to underhanded tactics.” Jiu Yiren exclaimed.

Soon, the city was filled with thick smoke, and the war cries intensified.

“These people seem as if they are oblivious to death.” The Jiu Yiren went on, “Our Sect Leader has to hurry and think of a solution. We can’t hold out for long.”

Ming Bei shared the same sentiment, saying, “Didn’t the New City Sect mean to ally with us? Now is the perfect chance, let’s get them to come over and help.”

Only then did Yuan Menhai say, “Alright, send them a carrier pigeon note, asking them to come help.” Even though he was reluctant to ask for others’ help, the situation in Sky Domain City had become dire.

Ming Bei said, “I’ll write this carrier pigeon note in my own name.” He quickly withdrew, trying to save Yuan Menhai from lowering his pride.

Jiu Yiren said, “These people must be really desperate.” His feeling was that they were indeed trying to quickly seize Sky Domain City. Shen Li, Shen Tian, and Elder Xi Feng had all charged forward, while the Zen Master was looking unbeatable.

The carrier pigeon note quickly reached Wasteland City, and Wei Sisan received it. He also received another carrier pigeon note from his own scouts with similar contents.

Wei Sisan immediately showed the content of the note to Jiang Zhuge.

“It seems that the Zen Master is truly determined to seize Sky Domain City and then isolate us.”

Can Mo said, “If that’s the case, we’re in danger. We need to send help to them as quickly as possible and confront the Zen Master together. That’s the most important thing.”

Wei Sisan remained silent, his thoughts echoing the same sentiment.

Kong Sha remarked, “Indeed, weren’t we planning to ally with the Sky Domain Sect? Now is the perfect time, they have sought our help. We should send our men; in fact, we must send them promptly, fearing that they might not hold on for much longer.”

Wei Sisan continued to stay silent. Since last night, he had been trying to figure out the Zen Master’s conspiracy. Yet, he had not uncovered any evidence, and under these circumstances, it seemed that the Dragon Slaying Clan was indeed planning to swiftly seize Sky Domain City.

Everyone’s gaze rested on Wei Sisan.

Jiang Zhuge stated, “Sect Leader, if we don’t act now, I fear Sky Domain City’s troops won’t be able to resist. It’s not about how terrible their situation is according to Ming Bei, but rather what we have witnessed ourselves. Their situation is indeed dire; Zen Master plans to capture Sky Domain City.”

Wei Sisan finally said, “Alright, prepare yourselves. Tomorrow, you and Ye Chen will head to Sky Domain City together.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded upon hearing this.

Kong Sha asked, “How many men are we planning to send?”

Wei Sisan pondered for a moment, stating, “Prepare eight hundred men.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded again.

Wei Sisan ordered, “Bring Ye Chen to me.” Soon after, they all dispersed.

Ye Chen was in the courtyard, waiting for news. Suddenly, Wasteland City had become tense; it was slightly suffocating.

“Monkey, what are you mulling over?” Ling’er asked.

“Nothing specific.”

“You didn’t go out on the streets to dupe pretty girls, did you?” Wan Lan quizzed.

Ye Chen gave a faint smile, replying, “With you two here, I wouldn’t dare to.”

“Or perhaps the girls didn’t fancy you?”

“Heh, the ones I fancy usually have no chance of escape.”

“You never know, they might prepare a cup of poisoned wine for you.”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile upon hearing this, continuing to whistle in his hands.

Soon, someone came to get him. It was someone sent by Wei Sisan. Ye Chen remarked, “It seems very likely that it’s time to depart.” He seemed to have predicted this outcome.

Ling’er also stood up.

“Ha! You’re not thinking about following him, are you? Didn’t the knife stab wake you up?”

Ling’er shot Ye Chen a fierce glare.

Ye Chen laughed, “I’m just looking out for you, your wounds haven’t fully healed.”

“That’s what everyone says.”

“You’re just worried that I might meet someone prettier than you on the road, am I right? But bear in mind, I might just bring her back,” Ye Chen said teasingly.

Ling’er was the first one to walk out of the courtyard door.

The two of them arrived at Wei Sisan’s courtyard, where he was solemnly sipping his tea. Despite his outward calm, his sternness was evident.

He invited Ye Chen and Ling’er to sit down.

“Did something happen in Sky Domain City?” Ling’er asked.

“Sky Domain City is at risk of being taken over by the Zen Master any moment now.”

Ling’er found it hard to believe, exclaiming, “Really? But Yuan Menhai is quite powerful.”

“Yes, indeed. But Shen Tian and Shen Li have also gone there. Their strength is formidable. They could capture not just Sky Domain City but even us – the New City Sect, and we might not be able to fend them off.”

“Is this our own understanding or is it what they have reported?” asked Ye Chen.

“This is our own understanding and what we’ve seen. They have also asked us for help.”

“Sect Leader, have you decided to send people over?”

“It seems we have no choice but to send people now.” Wei Sisan declared.

“Damn this Fairy Demon World, they should have sent people into the Wastelands earlier. We’ve seen no one for twenty days. If they had acted swiftly, we would have wrapped up the Zen Master like dumplings, and today’s events would have never transpired.” Wei Yiling grumbled.

Wei Sisan informed, “However, we can’t be sure if they have any other schemes. I plan for you, Jiang Zhuge, and Kong Sha, to lead eight hundred men over.”
