"That's right. I'm afraid that most of his analysis about the secret of the Bone of Ether is correct."
"But there's a saying in the Military School that lies are the truth and lies are the truth. If you mix one or two lies into a large amount of truth, you can gain the complete trust of others."
"Master, you mean that the Samsara Cultivator can't be trusted?" Huang Pingzhang couldn't help but ask.
"We can't be sure of that yet, but he must be hiding something. It's just that he's very useful to us now, so we need to observe him for a while, "Gu Chen said.
"That's why Master said to send someone to Ning Mountain?" The others suddenly realized.
"That's right. Send someone to observe him first and see if there's anything unusual about him. No matter what, at least we've gotten the unique copy of Incomplete Heaven and Incomplete Earth. It's a gain. "
Gu Chen smiled.
"I see. Master sure is cunning."
Wei Chizhong secretly clicked his tongue. He was several times older than Gu Chen. Why didn't he have the same cunning?
"What cunning? Master is resourceful, okay?"
Huang Pingzhang immediately rolled his eyes at him and flattered him in a subtle manner.
"No matter what, let's keep him busy for now. Also send some people to the black market to offer rewards for suitable organs. We have to be prepared for the worst. "
Gu Chen's expression became solemn. If the battle really reached a critical level, he would probably have to carry out the transplant even if there was a risk.
After all, this was the only way to defeat Huangfu Wuji.
…
Inside the imperial palace of Ba Du, Huangfu Wuji sat on the dragon throne with his head lowered and didn't say a word.
Military reports kept coming in from the front. Youzhou had fallen, the Crown Prince had died in battle, and people all over the nine states had changed their minds. His empire was now in danger.
Faced with such a dangerous environment, Huangfu Wuji was no longer as angry as before. All he felt was gloominess and depression.
In the past, the Overlord had repeatedly opposed him. The reason why he was angry was because he felt that an ant offended his superior and hurt his dignity.
But now that the other party had become the Celestial Emperor who could cover the sky with one hand in the Dark World and was also the leader of the Alliance of the Five Clans, the relationship between the two sides was already equal. He could not feel any anger, only fear and tension.
Below him, Shen Xudong and the other important officials of the Imperial Court were all present. The Man with a Bamboo Hat and many of the Dark Heaven Guards were also present. They were all reporting the dire situation to him.
Just a few months ago, he was still the Emperor of the Great Virtue and Mighty Deity. Everyone in the Nine States obeyed his orders. Even the various alien races were wary of him and came to pay respects to him.
However, not much time had passed, and Netherworld Tower had already betrayed him. The Underworld God Palace had suffered a devastating blow, and he no longer had any right to speak in the Dark World.
The four major alien clans and the Celestial Court worked together to attack him head-on. Even in the Nine States, rebellious forces continued to appear.
All of a sudden, he felt that he was alone.
How ironic.
When he thought of this, Huangfu Wuji's eyes became as cold as ten thousand years old ice.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is urgent. When the Alliance of the Five Clans gains a foothold in the Serenity Prefecture, they will probably head straight for the capital. We must make a decision as soon as possible."
Seeing that Huangfu Wuji seemed to be distracted, Shen Xudong could not help but remind him.
Being reminded, Huangfu Wuji glanced at the Man with a Bamboo Hat.
"What do you think we should do now?"
At this critical moment, he did not trust any of the civil and military officials in the Imperial Court. The only one he trusted was the Man with a Bamboo Hat.
He did not know how many of these officials were forced to follow him. Only God knew how many of them secretly hoped for him to die.
Only the bamboo hat man had always been his left and right arms. The Underworld God Palace had been established with his help, and a large part of the reason why the bamboo hat man was able to reach his current level of power was because of him.
Although the Man with a Bamboo Hat had often been in trouble recently, Huangfu Wuji still trusted him more at critical moments.
"My Lord, the reason why the Overlord was able to force us into this situation is largely because he is good at finding allies."
The Man with a Bamboo Hat's will-o '-wisps flickered in his eyes. "He has the support of the four foreign clans, the King of Weapons Armory, and even the traitors of the Nine Regions. That's why he was able to take down the Serenity Prefecture at a miraculous speed."
Huangfu Wuji nodded and continued listening.
"So if we want to deal with him, we should also try our best to ally with others and make use of the forces that can be used."
Huangfu Wuji could not help but frown. "The major forces of the Nine Regions are already under the control of the Imperial Court, but you also saw that under the attack of the Alliance of the Five Clans, they were utterly defeated. It was simply a disgrace. Apart from them, what other forces can we find on the continent to cooperate with? "
The Man with a Bamboo Hat laughed strangely. "My Lord, you should not blame the major forces. Although they were conscripted into an army, they did not undergo strict training and cooperation. Naturally, they are a pile of loose sand. With the Thousand Refinements Sacred Sect rebelling and the Overlord having the King of Weapons Armory, it is not surprising that they were defeated. "
"Although they were defeated, many of the Sacred Lands and Sacred Sects evacuated the Serenity Prefecture in time, preserving as much of their combat strength as possible. They can still be used by us."
"Now, they have already gathered together with the armies of the Heavenly Mirror Prefecture and the Underworld God Palace, and are stationed in the Azure Prefecture. The Netherheaven Army is our elite army. My Lord has personally trained them for many years. They are different from the scattered allied forces of the various forces. "
"As long as we arrange for the cultivators of the various forces to join our elite army, I believe that the situation in the Serenity Prefecture will not happen again."
"In addition, apart from them, we can actually ally with another force."
Huangfu Wuji revealed a look of shock. "Which force can help us now?"
The Man with a Bamboo Hat laughed sinisterly. "Haha Jie, do you still remember the Desolate God Sect, Lord? Although they are an evil sect, their influence in the Nine Regions is not small. They have a large number of followers, and there are many powerful cultivators in the upper echelons. We can definitely use them. "
"Desolate God Sect?"
Many of the officials present could not help but change their expressions. Shen Xudong objected on the spot.
"Nonsense! The Desolate God Sect is famous for being extreme. If we cooperate with them, we will definitely have to acknowledge their position and allow them to spread their teachings. By then, it will bring about disastrous consequences to the Nine Regions! "
Anyone who had a slight understanding of the teachings of the Desolate God Sect would know how crazy and extreme it was. They worshipped the Desolate God, and for that, they could kill innocents.
They were a bunch of lunatics who saw human lives as nothing!
"Haha, we are only using them temporarily."
The Man with a Bamboo Hat said disapprovingly. "My Lord, the Five Races Alliance has just gained a foothold in the Serenity Prefecture, and there is the Desolate God Valley in the Serenity Prefecture. That is the place where the Desolate God Sect has the most influence."
"If we form an alliance with the Desolate God Sect and promise them benefits, they will be able to wreak havoc everywhere in the Serenity Prefecture and disrupt the advancement of the Five Races Alliance."
When Huangfu Wuji heard this, he was tempted. "The people of the Desolate God Sect have always been unpredictable. Will they be willing to cooperate?"
