Chapter 1199: Chapter 1196: Truly Shouldn’t Have Trusted Him!

What a madman!

Hidden within the great formation, Ziyue could only sigh like this. This was no longer within the bounds of a gambler, it was simply a whimsical madman.

But having boarded the opponent’s pirate ship, it’s too late to run now!

"Turn!"

The gap in the spatial great formation suddenly opened wider, like a devouring beast, seemingly intent on swallowing everyone inside.

This scene left the once bloodthirsty Twenty-Eight Constellations momentarily dazed.

What’s the intention here?

Could it be trying to trap us using the spatial great formation?

But wouldn’t that be like placing us within the Heaven’s Court?

For a moment, the killing intent of everyone stalled, with only one thought in their minds: Is that guy out of his mind?

They were now driven into a frenzy because of pincer attacks, but if Chen Qing trapped them inside the spatial great formation, maybe it could control them for a short time, but it would be equivalent to keeping them within the Heaven’s Court, and the Heavenly Soldiers, waiting for the formation to mend, would inevitably engage in fierce battle with the terrifying number of demons outside.

The spatial great formation may hold them for a while, but it could not hold them forever, and by then, if the Heavenly Soldiers suffered heavy losses, they could break out... If the formation mended, wouldn’t the Heaven’s Court fall entirely into their hands?

Even if Chen Qing failed and couldn’t hold on, they could quietly emerge from the spatial great formation after the danger had passed and be even safer, right?

Absolutely perfect....

For a moment, they couldn’t tell if Chen Qing intended to harm them or help them.

Immediately, almost everyone consensually shut off their domains, afraid of clashing with the formation, which swallowed them in an instant, yet everyone remained vigilant, staring outside unblinkingly.

There’s no way Chen Qing intends to isolate and pick them off one by one, right?

Everyone could feel that Chen Qing was at his wit’s end, able to kill at most one person, with no time to pick them off sequentially.

And as long as the chosen one wasn’t oneself, then one was guaranteed a chance for a safe breakout.

Suddenly, everyone almost lost the thought of unity, since after all, each for himself and the rest may perish.

But then a strange scene unfolded, they weren’t separated but gathered together, leaving a group of Star Officials utterly bewildered.

"What is Chen Qing up to?" Fang Ritu looked around in confusion.

"I don’t know..." Even the most contemplative Moon Fox was baffled this time.

However, everyone’s vigilance only increased, fearing that Chen Qing was a dangerous person. Even Elder Long suffered a setback at his hands. Such methods to trap them must have a follow-up strategy.

"Bluffing!" Kang Jinlong sneered, "He’s out of options, without the military formation, what can he use to deal with us? After all, he’s just a mortal of only a few decades; no matter how fortune turns for him, it will always be limited."

"He just can’t deal with us, let us out would worry him about our future destructions, trapping us here means he plans to handle us after dealing with the demonic threats outside."

"That indeed makes sense..." One of the Star Officials nodded, "Back then, with demons approaching from outside, handling both us and those demons would be impossible for Chen Qing even with that group of dogs aiding him. The best approach is to separate and resolve, but he seems to overly rely on this formation."

Over twenty Star Officials showed a cold smile upon hearing this. The Heaven’s Court formation is indeed formidable, but simply using space law to try to trap them is underestimating them. The Twenty-Eight Constellations and Heaven’s Court seemed separate yet were actually one; the formation was closely bound to Heaven’s Court, seeming flawless but with the sources of the Twenty-Eight Stars, they actually have some means to get out because as main Star Officials, they inherently had the authority to activate the Twenty-Eight Constellations for teleportation.

Chen Qing undoubtedly didn’t know this; once the timing was right, they would activate the teleportation and could leave the formation!

By then, with Chen Qing at his wit’s end, those traitors would certainly fight to the death against the demons outside, and with the Heavenly King’s Army in retreat, and Wang Lingguan absent, Heaven’s Court... would it not be theirs?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but get excited.

Among them, the most rational Moon Fox was vigilantly watching the top, always feeling that Chen Qing could not have made such a simple arrangement.

But at the moment couldn’t figure out what else Chen Qing could do.

The scenario described by companions seemed like the only option for Chen Qing, but is it really true?

-------------------------------------

"Did it work?" Chen Qing looked at Ziyue, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. If it works this time, the precious land of Heaven’s Court will be completely secured!

With Heaven’s Court added to Jiangnan, and support to Northern Wasteland at any time, such a power would have a chance to contend with those ancients and conclude victory or defeat in a short time.

He no longer had the time to stalemate with those guys.

"Not sure... your idea is a bit too bold... I also don’t know if it’ll work..." Ziyue looked ahead.

The pitch-black demon horde had already closed in. At this moment, fully activating the healing would definitely trigger their frenzied attack. Troops should have been stationed to firmly block the exit, but Chen Qing had the soldiers return within the gap.

Obviously, he wanted to win over the people, with no one left to hold the rear.

If successful, it indeed gathers hearts, without leaving someone behind, without creating a sacrificial lamb. If successful, the new leader’s prestige would instantly reach the pinnacle, as it demonstrated not only his difference from Elder Long but also showcased his capabilities.

After all, although Elder Long was harsh, he was followed by many because of his powerful strength!

Heaven’s Court’s strength attracted many strong demons; even under harsh conditions, Elder Long’s shelter naturally gained respect.

Regardless of wanting to present himself as impartial, if Chen Qing wasn’t powerful, goodwill toward subordinates would be nothing but illusion.

If Heaven’s Court was lost, those Heavenly Soldiers would be the first to abandon Chen Qing, seeking other routes.

And once Chen Qing perished, all he accumulated in the mortal world would become finery for others.

Truly an incautious gambler!

"When the capital is small, gambling is the only option." Chen Qing said softly, "Let’s begin..."

Ziyue nodded, hands forming seals, as the demon horde like a black galaxy approached, and Chen Qing still had no intention of allowing the Heavenly Soldiers out to resist, even the ones stationed internally at the gap were anxious, can this really work?

They certainly didn’t want to fight desperately but were more willing to risk a little than face total annihilation, life and death at least had some hope.

But Chen Qing’s approach was too fantastical!

"Open!" A flash of purple light in Ziyue’s pupils, a distortion in space, as the area where the Twenty-Eight Constellations were sealed moved to the front. Clearly, Chen Qing intended to use them as scapegoats.

Yet seeing this, all Heavenly Soldiers didn’t seem more excited, rather their hearts sank.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations had authority over teleportation; internally, the space formation couldn’t actually hold them, such blatant manipulation they’d surely realize, now opening it, they’ve probably all fled inside.

Damn, thought it was some brilliant plan, but it’s this?

Really shouldn’t have trusted him!
