Yin Erlang chuckled, "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Are they here for revenge?"
They saw many familiar faces among the newcomers: Jin Man, Zhangsun Ju, Xing Luo, Lu Ge, Li Sheng, Ye Xingkong, and so on.
A large group of people surrounded them. Seeing True Lord Fire's group, Jin Man and the others' expressions changed as well, and a murderous aura emanated from them.
It couldn't be helped. After the fall of the Divine Lord of Six Paths, Jin Man and the others were forced into Purgatory. It was needless to say what these people had done to them.
However, Jin Man and the others knew who these people belonged to, so they didn't turn hostile on the spot. If they hadn't been forced into Purgatory all those years ago, they would've probably started fighting as soon as they saw each other.
"What's going on?" Yan Xiu came out from the crowd and asked. He didn't know True Lord Fire's group, but he could tell something was off.
Jin Man transmitted to him, "Ten Elements Palace and a few old monsters. Ten Elements Palace used to be Lord White's subordinates, and those old monsters are the Demon Lord's subordinates."
True Lord Fire and the others noticed how polite Jin Man and the others were to Yan Xiu, and felt a little strange. Wu Zhang turned and asked, "Who the hell is this dead face?"
Wen Huanzhen replied, "He's one of us."
Yan Xiu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Hua calmly replied, "We were asked to help you." His expression was as cold as always. He only lost his composure when facing Wu Zhang and the other two old monsters.
Miao Yi didn't mention this, so Yan Xiu couldn't make the decision. He took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi, informing him of the situation.
After taking in Teng Fei's forces, Miao Yi was on his way back when he received Yan Xiu's message. He frowned and fell silent. Ten Elements Palace had appeared? And the Demon Lord's men? He realized that he was right about one thing. Ten Elements Palace was indeed one of them.
However, there was one thing he didn't understand. Why would they appear in that place? Perhaps someone in Purgatory had leaked the secret, but that wasn't what made him think too much. He felt that his every move couldn't be hidden from that person. No matter how secretive his actions were, it was hard to hide. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
After pondering for a while, Miao Yi replied, "Don't act rashly. Wait and see. Be careful."
Yan Xiu accepted and put away the Star Bell. He then transmitted his voice to Jin Man and the others, informing them of Miao Yi's attitude.
Thus, the group of people were in a deadlock. Fire Supreme shouted, "What's the meaning of this? Why are you surrounding here? Why aren't you moving?"
Yan Xiu said hoarsely, "It's not time yet."
Li Hua had already taken out his Star Bell and was contacting someone. After contacting someone, he said to his left and right, "Lord White wants us to listen to him and follow their rhythm."
"That's strange," Yin Erlang muttered.
On the other side, Miao Yi had already waved his hand for the troops to stop. The Heaven Eye between his brows opened once more, and it let out a prismatic beam of light as it scanned the area around the entrance to the Astral Wilderness. This time, it took longer than usual.
About an hour later, he took out another jade archive. As he examined it with his Heaven's Eye, he invoked his arts to mark the astrological coordinates on the jade archive.
At the side, Teng Fei witnessed Miao Yi's Heaven's Eye once more. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he had the urge to poke Miao Yi's third eye blind.
He believed that his defeat this time was all due to the Heaven's Eye.
Retracting the prismatic beam of light, Miao Yi shut his Heaven's Eye and turned to the others, saying, "Lord Qing and Lord Buddha's forces are lying in ambush at the entrance of this path. We will have to take a wide detour to avoid them. These are the coordinates on the star chart. "He handed the jade archive over to Teng Fei.
Teng Fei understood what Niu Youde meant. Even though Niu Youde had more than five billion soldiers, Lord Qing and Lord Buddhist also had more than two billion soldiers. Although it seemed like they had more than double the number of soldiers, if they were to really fight, they might not be able to gain the upper hand. Even if they could win after the battle, they would suffer heavy losses, and Kou and Guang would probably attack them immediately. Niu Youde did not want to fight them head-on for now.
After confirming the coordinates on the star chart, Teng Fei nodded.
Miao Yi took out his Star Bell and contacted Kou Lingxu and Lord Guang, inviting them to join forces to deal with Lord Qing and Lord Buddha.
As expected, both of them rejected the request, citing that there was still a disturbance in their territory with the Imperial Guards as an excuse.
Miao Yi put away his Star Bell and sneered, then said to Teng Fei, "Let's begin according to the plan."
"Understood!" Teng Fei took out his Star Bell and contacted Kou Lingxu.
On a cliff surrounded by a beautiful lake and mountains, Kou Lingxu held his Star Bell with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "Niu Youde asked us to join forces to deal with Lord Qing and Lord Buddha, but I refused."
Beside him, Tang Henian nodded and said, "He should have refused. Avoiding Lord Qing and Lord Buddha's forces and chasing after Teng Fei is no longer some so-called revenge for the Primordial Era's ambush. He clearly wants to preserve his strength. At this point, everyone knows of Niu Youde's ambition. Once he takes care of Teng Fei, his next target will be either His Highness or Lord Guang, so that he can get rid of the final threat in his final battle against Lord Qing and Lord Buddha. From the way he swallowed up Cheng Tai Ze's forces, it's clear that he's using war to fuel war. He's probably taking advantage of Teng Fei's weakness, so it's more likely that he wants to swallow up Teng Fei's forces! "
"That's right. Niu Youde's momentum is like a rainbow. I really envy the young people who act on their words. It's fine if they don't act, but once they do, they attack one after another." Kou Lingxu shook his head and sighed. He then sighed and said, "Actually, this is indeed the best time to join forces to eliminate Lord Qing and Lord Buddha. Unfortunately, this Prince has this intention, but others have ulterior motives. This Prince is quite helpless!"
Tang Henian said, "His Highness, let's observe the situation first. If there's a chance to make a move, there's no harm in doing so. If there's no chance, it's better to preserve our strength. If Niu Youde and Lord Buddha are unable to determine a winner and both sides stop fighting, His Highness' strength will not affect His Highness. If a winner is determined, the winner will suffer heavy losses. With His Highness' forces, the other side will not dare to do anything to His Highness. "
Kou Lingxu grunted. "I'm afraid Lord Guang is thinking the same way …" As he said this, his brows twitched and he took out the Star Bell behind him. "Teng Fei!"
Tang Henian revealed an expectant expression.
Kou Lingxu shook the Star Bell and replied, 'Brother Teng, is there anything I can help you with?'
Teng Fei: 'Brother Kou, this Prince did not provoke Niu Youde, nor did I provoke him. Why is this bastard so adamant about not letting me go?'
Kou Lingxu: 'You will have to ask Brother Teng yourself … Niu Youde is young and impetuous. Don't you know what kind of person he is? He is someone who will attack the moment he is provoked. Brother Teng, don't tell me you still think he is joking? '
Speaking of this, Kou Lingxu was also furious. Initially, several parties had planned to join forces to deal with Lord Qing and Lord Buddha. It was entirely possible for them to topple Lord Qing and Lord Buddha, who had dominated the world for so many years. In the end, Teng Fei threw away his responsibilities and caused the situation to turn out like this. Everyone had their own ulterior motives and missed out on a golden opportunity.
Even though he knew Miao Yi was up to no good, he still secretly praised him for his actions. Sometimes, evil people needed to be tempered by evil people. Teng Fei had probably lost his temper because of Niu Youde and was now panicking.
Teng Fei: 'Brother Kou, you can't say it like that. If we fight amongst ourselves, the one who benefits in the end is Lord Buddha. Once we exhaust our strength, will Lord Buddha and Lord Qing let us go so easily?'
Kou Lingxu: 'What do you want?'
Teng Fei: 'Right now, Niu Youde is like a mad dog, biting people as he pleases. I hope Brother Kou and Brother Guang can persuade him together. As long as he stops, I will pretend this never happened. What do you think?'
Kou Lingxu was amused and asked: 'Why does Brother Teng think I can persuade him?'
Teng Fei seemed to be silent for a moment, then changed his request: 'Since I can't persuade him, can Brother Kou help me stop him?'
Kou Lingxu asked: 'How?'
Teng Fei: 'Niu Youde won't let me go. I want to pass through Brother Kou's territory. When the time comes, Brother Kou can help me stop him. Just think of it as a form of mediation. Once I shake him off, I will enter the Astral Wilderness and everything will be over.'
Kou Lingxu: 'Niu Youde is a mad dog. If I anger him, what if he turns against me?'
Teng Fei: 'He is a mad dog, not a lunatic. He is not stupid. He is just trying to take advantage of my weakness. He has three billion troops under his command, while Brother Kou has three billion troops. He cannot afford to fight with Brother Kou head-on, especially under such circumstances.'
Kou Lingxu: 'Why don't Brother Teng lead the way to Qing and Fo? Wouldn't it be better for them to stop him?'
Teng Fei: 'I will lead my troops into the Astral Wilderness. The route I have explored is limited. If he is chasing after me, I can't turn back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to trouble Brother Kou. Moreover, I don't want to see Niu Youde's troops die in the hands of Qing and Fo. That would be detrimental to the overall strength of our four armies. The place I am about to leave is closest to Brother Kou's territory. I can only ask for your help. Don't worry, Brother Kou. I won't let you work for nothing. How about one million Broken Magic Bows as a thank you gift? '
Kou Lingxu's lips curled into a mocking smile. What did he mean by he didn't want Niu Youde's troops to die in the hands of Qing and Fo? His words sounded better than a song. There was no turning back. If he could, he would have led Niu Youde to Qing and Fo at the first opportunity. There would be no such righteous reason.
After some thought, he replied: 'Let me think about it.'
Teng Fei seemed to be in a hurry: 'Alright! But Brother Kou, please be quick. '
Putting down the Star Bell, Kou Lingxu explained the situation to Tang Henian.
Tang Henian squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is a great opportunity to set a trap and swallow Teng Fei's troops. Teng Fei's troops are no match for us. It's not like the Imperial Guards will fight to the death. Once we start fighting, we will be able to subdue many of them. Even if we suffer losses, the results will be more than enough to make up for it. Based on this old servant's estimation, we can at least increase Your Highness's troops by one billion! "
Kou Lingxu tilted his head slightly towards him. "I have the same intention. However, Niu Youde won't let him go. Even if we manage to stop Niu Youde, if we start fighting here, Niu Youde will take advantage of the situation!"
Tang Henian gestured. "We can set up a place and find a way to get a group of people to pretend to be Teng Fei and the others to lure Niu Youde away. We can then attack without worry. Even if Niu Youde realizes it, he won't be able to stop us in time! If it really doesn't work, we can just give up and ignore Teng Fei's life. If Teng Fei is forced into a corner, we might be able to improvise and gain unexpected benefits. There's no loss in trying. "
"Mm, alright. Let's do that!" Kou Lingxu knocked his fist against his palm and let go of the Star Bell. He continued to contact Teng Fei. "Brother Teng, I can think of a way to help you lure Niu Youde's men away, but I'm risking falling out with Niu Youde. Isn't a million broken magic bows too little? How about two million?"
Teng Fei: Brother Kou, you're taking advantage of the situation!
Kou Lingxu: If you think it's not suitable, then forget it.
Teng Fei: Alright! Since Brother Kou has opened his mouth, I have nothing else to say. Two million it is.
Kou Lingxu revealed a strange smile. The Mage Breaker Bows were just to reassure the other party. He replied: I hope Brother Teng can keep your promise.
