Looking at the relaxed Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun who gave them a friendly smile before leaving, True Dipper Sect's Sect Leader Shi Fangyuan, Hei Tian, and Huo Lin looked at each other with strange expressions.
They were all experienced people. Now that things had reached this point, how could they not see that there was a problem in this? Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun had deliberately set a trap for True Gang Sect. Or rather, he had deliberately set a trap for Green Vulture.
"Sect Leader, Senior Brother, did our True Gang Sect do something wrong? Did we offend Young Heavenly Lord so much that he set a trap for us?" Huo Lin could not help but ask after the three of them looked at each other.
Sect Leader Shi Fangyuan had a puzzled look on his face. His brows were tightly knitted together in puzzlement. "Have you noticed a problem?"
"What's wrong?" Huo Lin asked.
"Young Heavenly Lord deliberately set a trap for us to jump into. It seems like he doesn't want to give us a reason to do so. However, at this critical moment, Young Heavenly Lord took such a big detour to set a trap for us. Why is he doing this? "Sect Leader Shi Fangyuan asked in confusion.
"That's right. Why?" Huo Lin frowned. "If Young Heavenly Lord really wanted to punish us, he could have just given us an order. There's no need for him to set a trap for us."
"Why do I feel like Young Heavenly Lord is doing this to protect True Gang Sect from any resentment?"
Hei Tian said after pondering for a while, "Moreover, even if True Gang Sect has offended Young Heavenly Lord in other ways, he'll still be magnanimous since he's helping us out this time. Moreover, for Dong 'er's sake, why would Young Heavenly Lord … "
Hei Tian, who was talking about Ling Dong, stopped abruptly when he recalled something. The Young Heavenly Lord, Di Nankun, had left with Ling Dong just now. However, the Young Heavenly Lord had returned to do something like this. Then, this matter …
Sect Leader Shi Fangyuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Hei Tian's strange expression. He exclaimed, "Senior Brother, are you saying that Ling Dong might be behind this?"
Hei Tian smiled bitterly and nodded when he recalled how Green Vulture had repeatedly targeted Ling Dong and clashed with Ling Dong. "That's very likely!"
Sect Leader Shi Fangyuan was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Hei Tian and Huo Lin's expressions, he knew that Ling Dong must have been behind Young Heavenly Lord's inexplicable trap for Green Vulture.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Aside from Ling Dong, Shi Qianbi, Bu Yangming, and Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun, there were two other Martial Artists wearing the highest grade Golden Rune Armor in the Wood Puppet Realm. They were looking at the army in the distance with solemn expressions.
These two Quasi-Zhou Tian Principal Gods in Golden Rune Armor were the two generals of the Wood Puppet Realm's Martial Army. Aside from the Heavenly Lord Di Nankun and the Heavenly Lord Di Nankun's personal guards, more than 30% of the Wood Puppet Realm's Martial Army was under the command of these two generals. They were highly respected in the Wood Puppet Realm's Mansion of the Celestial Lord Di Nankun. Even Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun had to show them respect!
One of them was a tall Martial Artist with a sinister look in his eyes. His name was Jiao Qi, and he was the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army of the Wood Puppet Realm. The other Quasi-Zhou Tian Principal God, Fu Xinghe, was the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army of the Wood Puppet Realm.
These two were the real giants of the Wood Puppet Realm, whose status was even more respected than the City Lords of the four Martial Cities. They were now gathered here to discuss countermeasures. However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army had some complaints about Ling Dong, a newcomer, being allowed to join the highest level military meeting in the Wood Puppet Realm. However, he was stopped by Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun.
"It's been almost a day. What are those guys doing? They've been in attack positions for almost a day, and they've been activating the Immortal Weapon Array for almost a day. Aren't they tired? " Shi Qianbi, who had been waiting here for more than half a day, looked at the enemy troops in the distance with a solemn expression. They didn't dare to relax at all.
"Yes, there's something strange. There must be something strange!" Ling Dong, who had been observing here for more than half a day, nodded silently. As he spoke, he looked down at the Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm from the sky. The injured Martial Artists were sitting cross-legged to recover their cultivation, and he swallowed back a suggestion that was about to come out of his throat.
Not only because Ling Dong couldn't bear to do it, but also because it was useless to say it. The Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm was full of injured Martial Artists, and they couldn't carry out his suggestion at all.
"It's okay if there's something strange, but as long as they don't attack now, it's a good thing for us! As long as we stay in the Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm, we can recover more strength if they pretend to attack! Young Heavenly Lord, I think we can arrange for more Martial Artists to rest in shifts. We have to seize the time to recover more strength! "
Speaking of this, Fu Xinghe, the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, looked a little gloomy. "The Wu Army has suffered too many casualties. Almost everyone is injured …"
"Let's do as you say …" Di Nankun responded softly, but his gaze involuntarily turned to the northern sky. That was the direction Heavenly Lord Di was heading to.
One day …
Two days …
Three days …
Seven days …
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye in this inexplicable standoff. During these seven days, the enemy troops didn't just pretend to attack. After the first day, they attacked the Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm once or twice a day.
But every time, they retreated after a short battle.
He threw down a few corpses and created a batch of severely injured people for Constellation Heavenly Monarch's Residence in Wood Hulk World. Then, he let Constellation Heavenly Monarch's Residence replace a batch of martial artists guarding the array core.
"Young Heavenly Lord, we can't keep waiting like this. The enemy is maintaining such a high-pressure stance. They must be plotting something. In my opinion, it might be a plot against Heavenly Lord Di."
Ling Dong finally couldn't help but say what he wanted to say seven days ago when he saw the enemy troops retreating like a tide after a surprise attack.
Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm had been beaten up for seven days. But compared to seven days ago, the Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm was in a much better situation now.
The lightly injured Martial Artists from seven days ago had fully recovered, and some of the seriously injured Martial Artists had regained their fighting strength. At the very least, there was no problem for them to guard the array core. Compared to seven days ago when almost everyone was exhausted and looked exhausted, now at least a third of the soldiers were full of energy and were ready for orders at any time.
"How could I not know? But the enemy is too strong. Even if we guessed that the enemy wants to trap us here and prevent us from going to help Heavenly Lord, what can we do? Kill our way out? "Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun looked a little helpless.
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Left Army Commander Fu Xinghe said, "Although the enemy only has 60,000 soldiers, which is even smaller than our Residence of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm, they are all elites. None of them are lower than the mid-stage Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm. On the other hand, 50,000 of our 100,000 Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm are Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm.
Moreover, the enemy has at least three elite battalions made up of Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm. That's close to 1,500 people. Just this strength alone is not something we can resist. Not to mention that the enemy has far more Quasi Zhou Tian Gods than us. They only have one less Zhou Tianshen Envoy than us. "
Speaking up to here, Left Army Commander Fu Xinghe looked at Ling Dong with a complicated gaze. If it weren't for the six Zhou Tianshen Envoys that Ling Dong brought with him, their current situation would be even worse. Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm might have already been conquered.
"Commander Fu, what do you think we should do?" Shi Qianbi couldn't help but question. To be honest, anyone who had persisted in such a passive defense for such a long time would feel aggrieved.
"Wait. Defend Celestial Lord of the Wood Puppet Realm and wait for a turning point!" Fu Xinghe said resolutely.
"Wait for a turning point? Do we have to wait for the news of Celestial Lord Di's death?" Just as Shi Qianbi and Fu Xinghe were arguing, Ling Dong's mocking voice made Fu Xinghe's face turn red. Young Heavenly Lord Di Nankun also looked at Ling Dong in surprise.
"Do you think I don't want to rush out and kill the enemy? I am indebted to Celestial Lord Di. I want to save Celestial Lord Di more than any of you! "
Left Commander Fu Xinghe grew agitated, "But with such a great disparity in strength, if we rush out and lose the protection of Constellation Celestial Monarch's Abode, our army will be slaughtered in less than two hours. At that time, Constellation Celestial Monarch's Abode will be completely finished!"
At this point, the Left Commander Fu Xinghe stared coldly at Ling Dong. "If you hadn't brought the six Zhou Tianshen Envoys with you, I would have suspected that you had ulterior motives for encouraging the Young Heavenly Lord to leave his residence for the battle!"
Being questioned by Fu Xinghe, Ling Dong wasn't annoyed by Ling Dong's question. Instead, he asked, "Alright, let's do as you say. If we continue to wait like this, and if the enemy forces besieging Heavenly Lord Di succeed in joining forces with the enemy forces on the other side, what will Celestial Lord Residence of Celestial Wood Puppet Realm use to block them?
Could it be that this is your so-called turning point? If it wasn't for Young Heavenly Lord's loyalty to you, I would have suspected your motive for persisting like this! "
Ling Dong's sharp words instantly caused Left Commander Fu Xinghe's face to turn red and he was instantly silenced. This was because not only did he understand, but everyone present also understood that if they continued to wait like this, what they would be waiting for might really be the result that Ling Dong had said.
As for reinforcements, Ling Dong's arrival had already destroyed any hope of Star Monarch Vermillion Bird sending reinforcements.
After being stunned for a moment, Left Commander Fu Xinghe roared at Ling Dong in a fit of pique, "Then what do you want? Lead the army and kill our way out? What's the difference between that and suicide?
Don't be so naive to think that the six Zhou Tianshen Envoys you brought can decide the outcome of the battle.
Unless there are more than six Zhou Tianshen Envoys joining the battle, only then will there be a chance to fight against the enemy! But do you have it? Even Star Monarch Vermillion Bird wouldn't be able to send out such a force, right? "
Fu Xinghe didn't have any intention of targeting Ling Dong. He only felt that Ling Dong was a bit unreasonable and treated the lives of his troops too seriously.
"If there are more than six Zhou Tianshen Envoys, you will agree to send out reinforcements, right? If I say I have it, will you believe me? "Ling Dong suddenly raised his head and asked. Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
