Chapter 1674: Chapter 734: Countermeasures

"Even the Jiu Provinces Alliance refuses to intervene in this matter, what reason do you have to believe that I will definitely help?"

Since arriving at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, Ye Lingyue had already discovered that most of the upper echelons of the Jiu Provinces Alliance, including Alliance Leader Ning, were not exactly righteous individuals.

Ye Lingyue was quite indignant about the actions of the Demon Clan.

Yet, she didn’t impulsively promise anything on the spot.

The opponent was a Demon General, with a large number of subordinates, and any rescue mission would require a meticulous plan.

Currently, Ye Lingyue was already stretched thin, unable to divert her attention elsewhere.

"Because that Demon General is none other than the second under Demon King Tongtian, and I happened to hear you’re thinking of dealing with the Tongtian Tribe."

Luo Qianche was at her wits’ end, which was why she sought Ye Lingyue out.

If she delayed any longer, those thousand mermaids would be beyond saving.

She wasn’t actually certain whether Ye Lingyue had the ability to help.

But through the few interactions she’s had with Ye Lingyue, this woman indeed possessed extraordinary wisdom, often flipping the tables when at a disadvantage.

If there was anyone who could rescue those mermaids at this moment, it would be Ye Lingyue.

"What? You say the opponent is associated with Demon King Tongtian?"

Ye Lingyue’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.

"Yes, moreover, I heard that the Demon General captured the mermaids to select the ten most beautiful among them to present to Demon King Tongtian as concubines. It’s well-known that Demon King Tongtian has a taste for beautiful female demons of different races. If you’re willing to help, even if not all can be saved, the Merfolk Clan, my mother, and the Merfolk King would be profoundly grateful."

Luo Qianche had learned about this matter from those few mermaids who had managed to survive.

After saying this, Luo Qianche looked expectantly at Ye Lingyue.

"Heh~ Captain Luo, you’re trying to play the emotional card with me."

Ye Lingyue smiled, hearing clearly how Luo Qianche was attempting to persuade her by mentioning Luo Qixue and the Merfolk King.

However, she had long already repaid any favors owed to Luo Qixue.

As for the Merfolk Clan, they were not Huangquan City, and indeed she had no obligation to help.

"Is that a refusal then?"

Luo Qianche’s face turned pale.

Little did she know, Ye Lingyue, after finishing her words, casually took Luo Qianche’s Jiu Provinces Card.

This action left Luo Qianche stunned once again.

"I don’t owe favors to Lady Qixue or the Merfolk King. However, since you’re my friend, helping out a friend isn’t out of the question. Besides, you’re framing this as a mission. I can attempt to help you with the rescue, but the operation will need to follow my plan and be executed in two steps."

Luo Qianche was overjoyed, having already fallen into despair.

Especially after hearing Ye Lingyue say that they were friends.

"I wouldn’t mind if it’s three steps or four."

Luo Qianche seemed to glimpse hope.

"Don’t agree too quickly yet. The first step is for the Merfolk Clan to voluntarily show goodwill to the Demon General, agreeing to hand over the ten most beautiful mermaids."

Once Ye Lingyue finished her sentence, Luo Qianche’s face darkened.

"Surrender and show goodwill to them? How could that be? The Merfolk Clan would definitely not agree. A thousand mermaids aren’t saved, and you want to give away ten more?"

"Hear me out fully first. You would say that the Merfolk Clan is willing to submit to Demon King Tongtian but, as a condition of exchange, ten talented and beautiful mermaids must be traded for a hundred ordinary ones." Ye Lingyue knew that Luo Qianche would not agree.

So she simply outlined Huangquan team’s plan and her rescue strategy roughly.

After hearing the explanation, Luo Qianche finally understood.

"Time is of the essence, I’ll immediately discuss with the Merfolk Tribe and have them select ten mermaids."

As Luo Qianche spoke, she was about to leave.

"Picking seven will suffice. Huangquan team will also dispatch three members; you should have a way to disguise us as mermaids, correct?"

While speaking, Ye Lingyue winked at Luo Qianche.

Initially surprised, Luo Qianche finally understood Ye Lingyue’s true intention.

"You’re planning to infiltrate the Tongtian Tribe? Isn’t this too risky? Does Di Shen know about this?"

"Then please, City Lord Luo, disguise me as a Merfolk Warrior as well."

Just as they were speaking, two people entered the tent: one was Di Shen, and the other was Wuyue.

"Di Shen, have things been settled?"

When Ye Lingyue saw Di Shen, she knew the matter with the Golden Horn Tribe was resolved.

This bolstered her confidence in the upcoming plan.

"If I hadn’t completed the task early and returned, wouldn’t you have rushed into things without telling me again?"

Di Shen gently brushed Ye Lingyue’s nose, exhibiting intimate affection.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but blush, while Wuyue hid her laughter, and Luo Qianche awkwardly turned her face away.

"Ling Yue, intending to join this infiltration with identities as mermaids, would you allow me to join?"

Wuyue came looking for Ye Lingyue today exactly due to the operation against the Tongtian Tribe.

"Fifth Sister, you wish to join too? This task is not simple; last time you barely returned from Tongtian Tribe."

Ye Lingyue expressed her confusion.

Originally, she planned to bring Tang Lingbo, Guangzi, and herself to disguise as mermaids.

Firstly, the three were most outstanding in appearance; Tang Lingbo had high cultivation, Guangzi was clever, and knew the art of medicine and poison.

"To be frank, I’m going to the Tongtian Tribe for vengeance against the killer of my father. He’s no other but Demon King Tongtian, Shui Yi!"

Mentioning her father’s murderer, Wuyue’s teeth clenched in anger.

She realized this truth last time inside Chi Ye’s tent when she saw the Merit Book.

In the section about Shui Yi’s military accomplishments, she found records of the Human Clan Demon Hunters being slain, amongst which were her father’s and other Lonely Moon Sea master’s names.

Moreover, the strange Evil Poison in Wuyue’s body was a kind of Water attribute Divine Power Skill cultivated by Demon King Tongtian, Shui Yi - the Water Evil Technique.

After knowing the truth, Wuyue wanted immediate revenge but was disadvantaged against Shui Yi’s cultivation.

She originally intended to quickly leave Tongtian Tribe but was unexpectedly forced to leave early due to the incident with Chi Ye.

"To neutralize the Evil Poison in your Dantian, we need to use Demon King Tongtian’s Demon Core to refine a Demon Essence Pill."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Lingyue decided to have Wuyue join them disguised as mermaids to infiltrate the Tongtian Tribe together.

Meanwhile, after Jin Mu returned to the Jin Family’s tent, their representative team quietly left the Jiu Provinces Main Camp that night.

And almost concurrently, both the Tang Family’s Representative Team and Huangquan Team also departed from the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

However, unlike Jin Family and Tang Family, the behavior of Huangquan Team was somewhat peculiar upon leaving the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

They prepared two carriages and traveled side by side.

After traveling for three to four days, the carriages divided, heading in different directions.
