Chapter 377 - 377 364 Chain of Schemes

Chapter 377: Chapter 364: Chain of Schemes Chapter 377: Chapter 364: Chain of Schemes The Dragon Slaying Clan had already left Crane City, leaving without any hesitance. After two days, the Mutant Winged Dragon had settled, thinking carefully about the foolish actions done during his time in the Central Plains.

Mutant Winged Dragon borrowed these two days to plan the next move carefully. Only he, Meng Xiuluo, and Mitra Monk were present.

The Zen master rushed in, stating, “They have come down the mountain. They will stay in Crane City tonight.”

“Are you sure?” Mutant Winged Dragon asked, showing a hint of excitement.

“Yes, Immortal City Sect, Demon Palace, New City Sect, and some other small factions.”

Mutant Winged Dragon was more concerned about who would become their Alliance Leader. He asked, “Who is the current Alliance Leader?”

“Qiao Fanfeng.”

Meng Xiuluo said, “The message the leader sent out has taken effect.”

I’ve heard their internal disputes are intense. Su Hong’s camp was advocating for promoting Ye Chen, even though he did not attend the conference. They hoped that Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu would push for Ye Chen. However, Su Hong’s son, Su Zhanze, who probably knew early on that Ye Chen was your son, strongly opposed. In the end, Qiao Fanfeng had to be promoted.”

The Mutant Winged Dragon nodded.

The majority of the people in the Immortal and Demon Domain think we are on the run,” said the Zen Master. “They don’t want to let us go. They fear that we would return in the future, and they see this as an opportunity to eliminate us.”

“”I should have done this earlier.” Mutant Winged Dragon still regretted losing the Demon God, who was extremely important to him.”

“Our opportunity has truly arrived,” said the Zen master.

Mitra Monk said, “We must be cautious, especially towards Ye Chen, we need to watch them.”

Zen Master said, “I heard that, at the conference, Ye Chen admitted to being the leader’s son. People were concerned that he would show mercy because of this, so they did not give him the position of the Alliance Leader.”

This was exactly what Mutant Winged Dragon wanted.

They are extremely overbearing, and seem to fear that we will flee back to Dragon Slayer Island at any time,” the Zen master continued.

Meng Xiuluo said, “So it seems, this is a great opportunity, we should seize it.”

But Mitra Monk was still cautious, “We should plan well this time, if not, we might just lose this excellent opportunity.”

Zen Master said, “The most important thing now is that they do not know whether our escape is true or false.”

“Alright, let’s discuss what we should do next,” asked Mutant Winged Dragon.

Meng Xiuluo said, “We definitely have to stay in the Central Plains.”

“Yes, but the most important thing is how to seize this opportunity,” said the Zen Master.

“There are two possibilities, either directly confront them and end everything, or achieve victory through cunning,” said Mitra Monk.

Mutant Winged Dragon asked, “Which option has a higher success rate?”

“In a direct confrontation, they will know our true situation, we won’t need to hide anymore, just fight them directly, and there will be no need to pretend that the leader is seriously injured, or make them mistakenly believe that we want to flee back to Dragon Slayer Island,” the Zen Master replied.

Meng Xiuluo said, “Then we should ambush them.”

The Zen Master said, “It won’t be that easy. Take Ye Chen, for example, he is extremely cautious, and doesn’t completely believe that we really want to escape. He thinks that we have other plans. He is very diligent, and if we’re not careful, he might discover our intentions.

We have fought so many times before; it’s hard to completely hide from them. Perhaps the disciples of other sects are not as vigilant, but the people of the New City Sect are extremely cautious. After all, they have experienced what happened in the Wasteland City. They know what failure represents and what price they have to pay.”

But Meng Xiuluo argued, “He is not the Alliance Leader, and he is not trusted by people of other sects.”

“But I believe Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu trust him. After all, they were the ones who helped to promote Ye Chen to the position of Alliance Leader at the conference. So I believe if anything happens, they would definitely go to consult Ye Chen. Those two hold enormous power, and even though they’re a bit old-fashioned in intelligence, they are very cautious, they won’t be easily fooled,” said the Zen Master.

Then what do we do, an ambush is impossible so we can only directly confront them.”

Direct confrontation is unwise. Even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. We will lose too many people,” warned Mitra Monk.

Meng Xiuluo said, “I still think we should not overthink. We prepare for an ambush, and if we are discovered, then we should consider something else.”

Mitra Monk fell silent. All eyes were on Mutant Winged Dragon. He must have an idea. He hadn’t said much over the past two days, contemplating.

Zen Master said, “Ambushing them without getting caught is unlikely. Even if you insist on doing so, you have to find a way to let the people of the Immortal Demon Domain lose track of us. You need to distract them with a group of people, and then think about how to ambush them.”

“Yes, that’s how we have always done it, isn’t it?” asked Meng Xiuluo.

Zen Master also glanced at the Mutant Winged Dragon and said, “In doing so, we must trick the people of Immortal Demon Domain. The most difficult person to trick will be the Sect Leader of New City Sect, Ye Chen. Our previous ambush and the failure to capture the Heavenly City was due to the people of New City Sect foreseeing our plans.”

Meng Xiuluo grew anxious, saying, “Hey, he’s not a God, he can’t always guess so accurately.”

“Right, what you said is true. It’s impossible for him to be correct every time, but, who knows, maybe this time, our ambush will be discovered by them again.” The Zen Master admitted, as if plagued by a post-trauma symptom.

Meng Xiuluo retorted, “Huh, I never imagined the Zen Master would be so afraid of anyone.”

The Mitra Monk and the Mutant Winged Dragon both chuckled upon hearing this.

The Zen Master explained, “What you said is right, I seem to have become somewhat neurotic.”

“You were scared off,” one of them added.

The Zen Master continued, “If we want to draw those people away without letting them know our exact whereabouts, we could only have someone impersonate us. It’s not hard to figure out. The deception may last for a day or two, but maintaining it for longer won’t be so easy. Once exposed, we must confront them directly.”

Meng Xiuluo commanded, “I see no need to overthink this; we should ambush them.”

The Mitra Monk looked over and suggested, “Leader, perhaps you should give us your thoughts.”

“Flee out both genuinely and falsely. Ally with the demon and evil realms, focusing on Immortal City,” stated the Mutant Winged Dragon.

Meng Xiuluo, somewhat confused, asked, “What does that mean?”

“Zen Master, lead a group of people to divert some of them towards the sea.”

“To have the Zen Master lead a group of people and deceive everyone won’t be that easy, they can easily discover the truth,” Meng Xiuluo commented.

It seemed the Mutant Winged Dragon’s intent was clear to the Mitra Monk, who said, “It won’t be that easy. The Zen Master can blend a group of ordinary people among us, let them impersonate the members of our celestial-demon realm and have them escape. In this way, it won’t be easy for them to find out, and if they do, they won’t know when it happened.”

Meng Xiuluo asked, “Is that your intention, Leader?”

The Mutant Winged Dragon nodded in confirmation.

After some thought, Meng Xiuluo queried, “What if they send the Winged Dragon to track us down, not allowing us to escape?”

“In that case, the Zen Master can figure out a way to fight them, acting as the covering rearguard. They won’t discover the ruse easily,” the Mitra Monk continued, “it should, at least, deceive them for a while.”

“What does it mean to ally with the demon and evil realms? And what does ‘Focus on Immortal City’ imply?”

The Zen Master explained, “We can indeed ally with the demon and evil realms. After all, they possess strong power. However, getting them to attack Heavenly City would be impossible. I heard the Sect Leader of Heavenly City, Fang Ziren, is rushing back to the City with a group. Without Fang Ziren, they can’t take Heavenly City, and with Fang Ziren back, it would be even more difficult. They may very well abandon the idea of taking Heavenly City.”

Of course, the Mutant Winged Dragon was well aware of this and stated, “I will bring a group to assist them.”

The Mitra Monk was somewhat surprised. He thought he had understood the Mutant Winged Dragon’s intent, but he hadn’t expected this. “Weren’t you saying that you’re focusing on Immortal City, Leader?”

The Mutant Winged Dragon then explained, “Yes, my focus is on Immortal City. The system of Immortal City has been broken. It should be easier to attack than before, at least easier than Demon Palace.”

“So wouldn’t it be better for you to go to Immortal City, Leader? I can take on Heavenly City. If we can ally with the demon and evil realms, taking Heavenly City would be the best outcome.”

“No, I’ll lead a group to Heavenly City. You and Shen Tian will lead a group to Immortal City.”

“You’re entrusting such a significant task to me and Shen Tian, but I am not entirely confident,” the Mitra Monk hesitated.

The Mutant Winged Dragon finally said, “Here’s what I am thinking. I don’t know how long the celestial-demon realm will take to discover that the Zen Master is just leading a group of people to the east. Of course, the later they find out the better. If they do figure it out, they would suspect our target is between Immortal City and Heavenly City. But they would value me more and if I lead a group to Heavenly City, it would draw their attention more. They would rather believe that our target is Heavenly City.”

The Mitra Monk finally understood, “So if they discover the fake escape, you intend to use yourself to distract them, Leader?”

“Yes, they hate me so much. I don’t know if Ye Chen will find out, but I have to make him believe. By then, I’ll collaborate with the demon and evil realms. They will believe that our goal is Heavenly City.”

Everyone in the room now understood.

Even Meng Xiuluo admitted, “This is a good plan, definitely a brilliant strategy.”

“It is a good strategy,” the Mutant Winged Dragon confirmed lightly.

“I couldn’t think of it.”

The Zen Master chuckled, “Of course you couldn’t. If you could, you would have become our leader long ago.”

“Even if they do discover something, it won’t matter. They won’t realize our plans are interconnected.” The Mitra Monk agreed with the leader’s plan.

The Mutant Winged Dragon instructed, “I’ll assign half of the people to you and Shen Tian, leaving the two of you in charge.”

The Mitra Monk, shocked, responded, “Can I…?”
