Playing the Target
It had to be said that the image that Ye Xuan had created for himself in Chanasi's mind was actually quite successful.
From a certain point of view, this was clearly an unintentional result.
First of all, in order to find time to leave as soon as possible in the inner city of the Demon Emperor, Ye Xuan had deliberately shown his enthusiasm and even obsession with the position of Black Mosquito Tribe Holy Son when resolving the crisis. He had even bribed Mo Qigong in public.
Then, when choosing the space fortress that the Demon Emperor Mo Wentian had personally approved as a supply for the Black Mosquito Tribe, Ye Xuan had deliberately chosen from a list in order to get the treasure level fortress. After choosing a junk, he had faced the opposition of Zuo Licheng and Zuo Hongwu, using his identity as the Holy Son to rudely confront them. He had been so angry that he would rather suffer losses than go back on his words and lose face.
Finally, after returning to the Black Mosquito Star, he had sat on the position of Holy Son for a few more days in order to save his life. He had even planned to get the position of High Priest of the Gray Bone Condor Tribe and so on.
All of this had successfully created an image of a true villain in Chanasi's mind.
Chanasi despised such an existence, but he did not think that he would be a threat to himself.
On the contrary, he was the commander of the guards of the Demon Emperor City, a trusted aide of the Demon Emperor. He believed that no matter how ambitious Ye Xuan was, he would not dare to dream of replacing the Demon Emperor, right?
Therefore, in his heart, he also knew that no matter how successful he was in the future, the most he could do was to hang around in the Demon Emperor City and become a passable official.
Under such circumstances, he would only try to curry favor with Chanas. It was impossible for him to have any intention of scheming against Chanas.
In fact, if Wen Xing had not taken the initiative to scheme against him, he would not have had time to curry favor with Wen Xing.
It just so happened that Chanasi, as a spy who had been bought by the Tian Ji Clan and planted beside the Demon Emperor Mo Wentian, also needed to cultivate his own team of trusted aides. The impression that Ye Xuan gave him was that he could not be trusted, but he could be supported and used.
And now, Chanas had such thoughts.
Because of this, now that he believed Ye Xuan's words, he no longer avoided the taboo in his words. In any case, the relationship between Wen Xing and Ye Xuan, in his opinion, was already that of a mortal enemy. No matter what he said, there was no need to avoid him.
"It's not difficult to kill Wen Xing. Although he's a High Priest and is proficient in the secret arts of spiritual power and Divine Sense, I have the Demon King and the entire fleet in my hands. At worst, I can just kill him. He's only at the first level of the Grotto-Heaven realm. No matter how powerful his secret arts of spiritual power are, can he withstand the might of the Annihilation Meteor Cannon of the Demon King fortress?"
As he spoke, Chanas seemed to have sunk into deep thought. Even the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be muttering to himself.
Ye Xuan naturally knew about the Annihilation Meteor Cannon.
Generally speaking, planetary-level warships with a length of 1,000 meters and Stellar-level warships with a length of 3,000 meters were only equipped with ordinary star cannons.
Only the smaller fortresses with a diameter of 5,000 meters and the larger fortresses with a diameter of 10,000 meters were equipped with the real star cannons.
However, even the Star-Obliterating Cannon couldn't really blast a small meteor into nothingness with a single shot, leaving not even a speck of dust.
Previously, Ye Xuan had used the Black Mosquito and the Black Wind to bombard Zuo Hongwu's 3,000-meter-long Feng Teng ship at the same time. After a round of simultaneous bombardment, the Feng Teng ship was only blasted into three pieces. This was clear proof.
But although there were many kinds of energy cannons on the giant fortresses with a diameter of 20,000 meters, the most powerful one was the upgraded version of the star cannons on the larger and smaller fortresses. It was called the Annihilation Meteor Cannon.
If the energy cannons were to be used at full power and without regard to the cost, the energy beam fired by the giant fortress's Annihilation Meteor Cannon could reach a diameter of 5,000 meters.
If the cannons were to be fired at full power, everything in front of them would be completely annihilated!
It could be said that the effect of using the giant fortress's Annihilation Meteor Cannon to kill a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert like Wen Xing was basically no different from Ye Xuan using the Weeping Soul Blood Horn to kill him. There was no suspense!
Even the drawbacks of these two methods were present now!
The Weeping Soul Blood Horn was inconvenient to be exposed.
And if the Annihilation Meteor Cannon of the Demon King was to be used to kill Wen Xing, it would be difficult to explain later!
"What a pity …"
Chanas seemed to have thought of this point at this moment. He sighed unwillingly. "Alas! Although it is convenient to use the Annihilation Meteor Cannon of the Demon King to kill Wen Xing, and there is almost no chance of failure. At most, more unlucky people will be buried with him. But there needs to be a reason to do so. It seems that I can only think of a way to get rid of him secretly! "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately became anxious. If I can get rid of him secretly, why would I ask you for help?
If that was really the case, once Wen Xing died, there would be many suspicious gazes immediately converging on him!
And if Wen Xing was killed by the Annihilation Meteor Cannon of the Demon King in front of everyone's eyes, Ye Xuan could sit back and relax!
Therefore, it was necessary to correct Chanas's wrong idea. It was not good to be afraid of trouble!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan immediately said tentatively, "Commander Cha, Old Ghost Wen Xing is a supreme existence of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Even if you are the same, or even stronger than him, I'm afraid that you don't have the confidence to crush and kill him, right?"
"If we do it secretly and let him escape, I'm afraid our situation will be even more awkward. On the contrary, if we kill him openly, as long as the reason is barely passable, it will be more believable. After all, if we don't have the confidence, who would dare to kill the High Priest of the Imperial City like this?"
"Didn't he say that you are a spy of the Tianji Clan? Commander Cha, if worst comes to worst, you can just bite back and say that he is the spy afterwards? "
"Anyway, the dead tell no tales. Besides, the Demon Race is still a subsidiary race of the Tianji Clan. Even the Demon King would not dare to make such a big deal out of this matter. So, even if he is suspicious, he will definitely turn it into a small matter in the end … As time goes by, I believe that Commander Cha will have a way to resolve everything. Besides, I am a living person, can't I beat a dead ghost like Wen Xing?"
"Yes, this is an open scheme! As long as Wen Xing is dead, everything will be up to this commander to decide! The Demon King, that … Sir, even if he doesn't believe it, would he dare to make a big deal out of this matter? "
"Hahaha …"
Chanasi's eyes instantly lit up. He raised his head and laughed loudly, then turned to look at Ye Xuan. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of admiration. "Brat, although you're a bit wretched, you're actually quite quick-witted. This commander hasn't been able to get around this for a while …"
Wretched?
