Hardly had Li Yao concluded his sentence when the entire Star Prier's House was shaking slightly. Li Yao stuck his hands to the ground, and spiritual energy flowed out of his palms. He sensed carefully and indeed sensed that the surging spiritual energy of the water class was roaring in all directions. Even the water vapor in the air. U8 said that the net was more irritable than usual.
Bai Xinghe's face changed color. He said in a hurry, "There's no time. I'll explain it to you on the way!"
Li Yao hesitated for a moment and tossed the Cosmos Ring that stored the Dragon King Battlesuit to Bai Xinghe.
After putting on the Dragon King Battlesuit, Bai Xinghe tossed a Cosmos Ring to Li Yao, too, saying that it would be useful later.
After setting the automatic telepathic thoughts of the crystal processor, the two of them exited the Star Prier's House the same way they had come. However, they bypassed the hunting area of the Lustful Rock Spiders and turned into a brand-new branch.
Bai Xinghe was carrying a mini crystal processor that was remotely connected to the crystal processor, which could display the pictures monitored by thousands of crystal cameras in real time. However, due to the complicated terrain in the underground fortress, the transmission of telepathic thoughts was intermittent. Therefore, they could only keep an eye on the pictures of Bai Kaixin and Lei Dalu. As for Bai Wulei, Fengyu Zhong, the Black King, and the other Immortal Cultivators, they were unable to monitor them every second.
On their way, the quakes were more and more intense. In the beginning, there would only be a slight tremor every ten seconds. Later, there would be an earthquake every one or two seconds.
While rushing forward, Bai Xinghe said, "Yan Xinjian spent decades reconfiguring the crystal processors in the main control room of the underground fortress. On the surface, nothing has been changed, but a very sordid backdoor has been hidden. It is the Barbarian Net.
"Once the mechanism is activated, the entrances and exits of the underground fortress will be blown up immediately. However, other than the main entrances and exits, all the gates, ventilation tubes, and maintenance tubes will be completely open and cannot be closed automatically by the crystal processors so that the flood can flow in unimpeded!
"The flood itself is not scary. Many Crystal Suit members boast the ability to fight in water. The experts who have reached a certain level can hold their breath. They can survive for a long time with the 'internal circulation', too.
"However, there are countless horrifying apocalyptic beasts in the river. We encountered them when we leaped over the Nether River. It's just one of them. However, the other hundreds and thousands of exotic beasts don't have the ability to leap hundreds of meters into the air. "
"These beasts have lived in the Nether River for thousands of years and devoured the underground spirit veins. Just like the Lustful Rock Spiders, they are highly sensitive to spiritual energy and almost feed on it! "
"The intruders in the underground fortress encountered a sudden change. Of course, they put on the Crystal Suit and awakened their spiritual energy. They were the perfect prey for the beasts in the water!
"Furthermore …"
Bai Xinghe narrowed his eyes and said, "Many kinds of high-energy crystals are stored in the warehouse of the underground fortress, such as' Thunder Stones' and 'Revolving Sun Stones'. The crystals can remain stable in dry air like stones, but once they come into contact with water, they will trigger a violent chain reaction and release tremendous spiritual energy and heat, turning them into powerful bombs! "Li Yao explained." That's right.
"Hehe, Yan Xinjian's move is too beautiful. This is a war fortress. Thunderbolt Stones, Revolving Sun Stones, and other such crystals are extremely important war materials. It's not strange at all that they appear here in large quantities! "
"The intruders would never have dreamt of this. The Thunder Stones and the Revolving Sun Stones, which were stored in the driest special warehouse and blocked by the drying rune arrays, would be scourged by the flood!
"First, the flood. Then, the explosion of the Thunder Stones and the Revolving Sun Stones would completely block the upper half of the underground fortress.
"The important people of the Immortal Cultivators would all be gathered in the lower half. By the time they realized what was going on, they would have nowhere to run! "
Li Yao was sweating hard.
Yan Xinjian's scheme was indeed sordid.
It was indeed impossible to destroy the entire underground fortress. However, if the water of the underground river was poured into the fortress, more than half of it would be flooded. Together with the explosions of the crystals and the hunting of the beasts in the water, the intruders would have a hard time.
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao asked, "Such traps might be enough to deal with the Refinement Stage Cultivators and the Building Foundation Stage Cultivators, but I'm afraid that they might not be effective against the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and the Yuanying Cultivators, right?"
"That's why I snuck into the underground," Bai Xinghe said.
"After I discovered Yan Xinjian's trap, I considered it as my last trump card. Therefore, I modified the Star Prier's House and resealed it. I also filled the place with anti-water rune arrays and stored a lot of food, compressed air, crystals, and anti-water magical equipment. U8 Swamp Network.
"In the meantime, I secretly excavated a secret channel from the Star Prier's House that led to the outside of the underground fortress. At the end of the secret channel, beyond the coverage of the underground fortress, was a one-way teleportation array that led to the outside world!
"My plan was very simple. When the river flowed into the underground fortress, I would stay in the Star Prier's House and rest myself while observing the battle between the Immortal Cultivators and the beasts in the water.
"When the Immortal Cultivators were exhausted after fighting the beasts in the water for a day or two and their spiritual energy was almost exhausted, I would sneak out with the anti-water magical equipment and wait for an opportunity to assassinate them.
"The environment of the underground fortress was complicated. Firstly, I was familiar with the terrain. Secondly, I had been resting for days. Thirdly, I knew all their whereabouts. I could take advantage of their weakness and take advantage of their weakness.
"With the capability of the Yuanying Stage, it shouldn't be a problem for me to slay a few Core Formation Stage Cultivators in such a chaotic situation. If I'm lucky, I can even find an opportunity to kill Fengyu Zhong or the Black King!
"Whether or not I can assassinate the key person of the enemy successfully, I will return to the Star Prier's House without any hesitation three days later and leave the underground fortress through the secret channel to return to the surface!"
Li Yao thought for a moment. His eyes suddenly shone as he blurted out, "When the tiger is absent, the monkey will be the king!"
Bai Xinghe chuckled and said, "Do you think that Boss Bai is a monkey? But it's not wrong. Compared to the enormous Temple of Immortals, I am indeed a monkey. U8 Swamp Network.
"However, when I return to the surface, the 'tigers' of the Temple of Immortals will still be struggling in the underground fortress!
"The traps alone might not be enough to kill the Black King, Fengyu Zhong, Bai Wulei, and other experts, but the space pirates and Immortal Cultivators in the Refinement Stage and the Building Foundation Stage will certainly suffer heavy casualties!
"Think about it. All the space pirates who performed well in the great battle and who are loyal to the Temple of Immortals have entered the underground fortress. Then, who will be left on the surface?"
Li Yao took a deep breath. "All the space pirates who are loyal to the Temple of Immortals have entered the underground fortress. Those left on the surface are either the pirate gangs that were defeated and crippled because they were loyal to you, or the pirate gangs that were hesitant and reserved their strength in the great battle, unwilling to really contribute to the Temple of Immortals!
"The great battle is like a sieve that sifted all the loyal lackeys of the Temple of Immortals into the underground. Those left on the surface, even if they are lackeys, will not be so loyal to you!"
"Yes," Bai Xinghe said. "That is the key to the whole plan!
"As the saying goes, we should not worry about scarcity but about inequality. I've already spread the news that a lot of secret treasures of the Star Glory Imperium are hidden in the underground fortress. Not just the space pirates, even a pig on Spider Den should've heard it and started imagining things.
"The space pirates left on the surface will never be trusted by the Temple of Immortals. They can only watch other pirate gangs enter the underground fortress and loot the treasures. It is very possible that they will be swallowed by the other pirate gangs when they are strong enough!
"Let me ask you, what will the space pirates feel then?
"It is needless to say that the pirate gangs that were loyal to me but have been crushed are almost waiting for their doom. As long as there is a slim chance of survival, they will certainly try their best!
"Alright. When Boss Bai, the 'Pirate Potentate', returns to the surface, I will be faced with such a situation!
"The Temple of Immortals has no men. Their key personnel will not break out of the underground fortress until half a month later!
"Besides, with the flood, the explosion, and the rock stratum thousands of meters away, no news can be sent out. What happens down there will be entirely up to me, right?
"In such a case, as long as I show up in front of everybody and announce that I have annihilated the key personnel of the Temple of Immortals in the underground fortress and that I can even present the heads of the Black King or Fengyu Zhong, who on Spider Den will not listen to me?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and cursed. He mumbled, "The return of the king!"
Bai Xinghe smiled. "Half a month is more than enough for me to launch an aggressive counterattack!
"By then, even if the Black King or Fengyu Zhong can break out of the underground fortress, so what? Everything will be over!
"Hehe. What I've lost is an Abyss Pirate Gang whose loyalty I don't know, and what I've gained is the entire Spider Den! Isn't such a deal a fair deal? "
"It's a pity that you didn't foresee that your son would show up all of a sudden," Li Yao said.
Bai Xinghe smiled bitterly. "Indeed, I didn't see that idiot coming. I haven't seen him for decades. Why is he here when I'm about to be killed?
"Is it because he's finally suspicious of me and wants to know what's going on before I die?"
Li Yao recalled Bai Kaixin's eyes, which were always filled with vague sorrow but were as sharp as blades. He shook his head and said, "Boss Bai, you are truly confused when you are involved. Bai Kaixin is such a smart man. How can he not have guessed the truth? In my opinion, he must've guessed everything a long time ago. "
"He is not here to ask you; he is here to save you."
Bai Xinghe suddenly stopped and blurted out, "I am a battle-type Yuanying, and he is an admin-type Building Foundation Stage Cultivator at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. Do I need him to save me? Why should he save me? "
"Because he is your son," Li Yao said.
Bai Xinghe was dazed for ten seconds. Then he burst into laughter. The aura of a Yuanying monster was completely unleashed, and Li Yao was almost blown away.
"Yes. I should've realized that he is here to save me. My son is here to save me!"
