Chapter 2768 - 2744: What Is a Trump Card

Chapter 2768: Chapter 2744: What Is a Trump Card

Han Xuan’er continued, "Finally, the mountains around should also be arranged with formations, preferably with extremely strong offensive ones, and within the attack formations, reinforced defensive arrays should be set up, as the mountains are easier to break through."

Listening to Han Xuan’er’s words, Lin Feng did not expect such a young girl to know so much about strategy. It seemed that this woman was definitely not as simple as he had thought, and Geomancer Qianjue has given him another capable assistant.

"I think the most important thing for the sect is to have the strongest trump card, just like the Sect Master cannot always be in the sect. Hence, there must be someone equally strong to take on this responsibility," Han Xuan’er said, looking at Lin Feng.

This was also Lin Feng’s concern. If he really had to leave, the formations could not completely ensure the safety of the sect. Now, the strongest person around him was probably Ma Biaohu, but Ma Biaohu was just a Divine Venerable, and such strength was far from enough. Thinking of this, he also found it difficult to resolve.

On the other side, Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan were flying in the air. Xiao Jiu sensed the demon beast aura within hundreds of thousands of miles and landed in a place where the demon energy was dense. As it landed, it transformed into human form, with Tangyuan sitting on its head.

Around them, hundreds of demon beasts were lazily lying on the open ground. Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan calmly passed through the middle. The surrounding demon beasts thought it was very strange to see a child and a small demon beast appear here, but they did not move because an unknown strong pressure made them feel very dangerous.

Xiao Jiu walked straight to the front of the demon beasts, where a gigantic, hundred-zhang-long demon beast resembling a giant lizard lay resting on the ground. Seeing Xiao Jiu walking over, it raised its eyes with disdain and ignored him.

Tangyuan looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Is this guy the boss here?"

"Hmm, doesn’t look like much!" Xiao Jiu said unabashedly and loudly.

The Golden Armored Giant Lizard opened its scarlet eyes, glaring at Xiao Jiu, and said, "Have you come here to seek death?"

Although it also felt the intense demon aura, it did not know where it came from. Before it was only a child in front of it, who dared to speak to it like this. With a claw, it could kill these two little fellows.

"Hmph, if you know what’s good for you, become my little brother, or else..." Xiao Jiu tilted its head, an innocent expression on its childish face. It just wanted to play with this demon beast. Revealing its true form would not be as fun.

Upon hearing Xiao Jiu’s words, the Golden Armored Giant Lizard did not speak further and directly leapt into the sky. Its dozen-zhang-long tail swept through the air as golden demon energy steamed from its body, and it swung its giant claw at Xiao Jiu, cutting a golden beam through the air.

The surrounding demon beasts saw the Golden Armored Giant Lizard attack Xiao Jiu and immediately surrounded Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan in the middle.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu pouted and complained to Tangyuan, "Not fun at all."

Then it instantly transformed into its true form in mid-air, turning into a black giant dragon a few hundred zhang long appearing in the sky.

All the demon beasts were stunned. They did not expect this dragon before them to be the child from earlier. No wonder they felt terrifying pressure around them. Humans could not feel the Dragon Clan’s formidable pressure, but as demon beasts, they were almost suffocating.

When the Golden Armored Giant Lizard saw Xiao Jiu transform, it immediately froze. It originally had its giant claw extended to attack Xiao Jiu but transformed into human form and knelt on the ground instantly.

Xiao Jiu didn’t even have to make a move; just appearing was enough to intimidate all the demon beasts. Then it transformed back to human form, standing before the Golden Armored Giant Lizard. The scene was somewhat comical, with a child pointing at the burly man kneeling and asking, "Do you submit?"

"I submit, I submit! Whatever instructions you have, just say," said the Golden Armored Giant Lizard, no longer as arrogant as before. It never expected that within this range, a dragon clan beast would appear. It had never encountered one in all its years living here.

"No big instructions! Now I’m your boss, and I’m going to take you to meet my boss!" Xiao Jiu giggled as it spoke to the Golden Armored Giant Lizard. It knew there were not only one demon beast leader around here, but within this range, the Golden Armored Giant Lizard was the leader. Although just a Demon Venerable, it was qualified as a scout for the sect.

"Yes, yes, as you say," the Golden Armored Giant Lizard replied respectfully. It didn’t dare say anything now, and luckily it reacted quickly enough earlier not to fight Xiao Jiu. Otherwise, it would have been skinned and dismantled by the Dragon Clan. Just thinking about it made it feel anxious.

Seeing the big man before it, Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but find it funny. It finally got to be a leader, and then it asked the Golden Armored Giant Lizard, "Are there any other demon beast leaders around? Take me to find them."

"Okay, okay." The Golden Armored Giant Lizard heard Xiao Jiu’s order and immediately led Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan in another direction...

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Han Xuan’er had already toured a large part of Thunder Valley and were sitting at the valley entrance chatting. The evening breeze brushed past, and Thunder Valley, without the baptism of thunder and lightning, appeared extremely serene.

"Strategist, you may not know what we will face after the sect is established," Lin Feng looked at Han Xuan’er with a hint of worry. He already felt that the forces they would confront after establishing the sect were very strong. If the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm knew about establishing the sect, he would face a catastrophe.

Han Xuan’er looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Sect Master, what do you say?"

Although she didn’t know much about the affairs of the sect, she knew how severely the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm suppressed the ascenders. Since she chose to assist Lin Feng, she had to consider things thoroughly for him. Although she was mentally prepared, thinking about what they would face in the future, she couldn’t help but worry.

"The Myriad Heavens Divine Cult definitely won’t let it pass easily. Besides, I already have some grudges with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. They will likely be the first to cause trouble," Lin Feng said flatly. Thinking of the previous matter with Chang Tianjie, he felt he was not wrong, but this was enough to anger the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. If he established the sect, the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult would probably be the first to stand out.

Han Xuan’er nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "This battle is inevitable. If the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult can be subdued, other sects may quiet down, as one cult, three gods hold a significant weight."

"Then there’s the Myriad Gods Tower, the Transcendence Pond, and the Land of All Gods. I have always been on good terms with the Myriad Gods Tower and familiar with the Tower Master. However, if I establish a sect, they will also be hostile, and I am mentally prepared for that. I’ve only met the Transcendence Pond once, and I’ve never been to the Land of All Gods, but the people there seem to not care about worldly affairs. I don’t know what it will be like if the sect is established. I’ve always wanted to find a chance to go and see," Lin Feng continued.

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Han Xuan’er greatly admired Lin Feng. As an ascender, despite not being in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm for many years, he had experienced so much. However, without all these experiences, Lin Feng wouldn’t have gotten this far so quickly. She then said, "Actually, I think if possible, avoid war if can. After all, war will cause heavy losses on both sides, so Sect Master, you need to communicate on this aspect. Of course, if they make a move, we won’t back down either."

Lin Feng looked into Han Xuan’er’s eyes. Although he had not known Han Xuan’er for long, she seemed to understand him. Previously, he did not like killing, and now, gathering the Force of Merit, he is even more unwilling to initiate war. But if anyone threatens the interests of the sect, he will not be merciful. Since he has come this far, he has already prepared for the worst. He then said, "Of course, if the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm allows my sect to coexist and treats ascenders fairly, I will not be hostile to them."

Han Xuan’er had a smile on her face and continued, "We must have our own trump cards, and most importantly, you mustn’t have an accident."

She knew that everything in the sect depended on Lin Feng’s support. If Lin Feng, as one person, went against the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm and something happened, the sect would cease to exist. Thinking of this, she was still a bit worried. If it were just pure formations, they would not be able to secure the sect, as it involved the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, with countless Divine Venerables, and possibly even the appearance of a Divine Emperor. Lin Feng alone could not contend with such circumstances.

Speaking of which, Lin Feng wanted to tell Han Xuan’er all the secrets he never shared with Gu Tianhai. This was his last trump card. He looked at Han Xuan’er and said, "I have always been secretly building Mechanism Puppets and a city in the sky called Rong City."

Since he could tell Han Xuan’er, he fully trusted this woman. For some reason, he always felt that on the path Geomancer Qianjue had pointed out, Han Xuan’er would play an important role, and he sensed that this woman could help him with more than just these.

"Mechanism Puppets!" Han Xuan’er was shocked. She had only read about the Puppet Legion in books before, never thinking it really existed. Looking at Lin Feng incredulously, she could not imagine what he had gone through all these years. She then continued asking, "If that’s the case, I suggest not placing the Puppet Legion outside the sect. Hide it as our last trump card, and if we truly can’t contend, give the enemy a surprise fatal blow then."

Lin Feng agreed that Han Xuaner’s suggestion made sense. He had always wanted to hide Rong City in the sky, making it a barrier so that if there were danger, everyone could retreat to Rong City. Now, with the Thunder Yan Emperor’s underground palace, it served as dual security.

He continued, "Moreover, in my Space Ring, there’s a peculiar big tree with extremely strong offensive power, and it has spawned several metallic saplings. I am considering placing these trees at the sect’s entrance."
