How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 465 - 0460: Decisive Battle
"Looking at the actions of the Nine Tribes this time, I fear they are really going all out."
Absolute Yin Ancestor sighed.
The other two Alliance Hierarchs, with solemn expressions and profound gazes, showed no clear change in expression, but everyone could feel the gravity emanating from the three Alliance Hierarchs, making the atmosphere in the hall solemnly quiet.
None of the three Alliance Hierarchs had expected the Snow Mountain Tribe to make a decision so quickly.
Given the current situation, the Three Kingdoms of the South were no match for the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes, and losing was a very likely outcome.
But it wasn’t something they could simply delay at their convenience; if the Snow Mountain Tribe really attacked, they would have no choice but to respond in battle.
"Exact details are still unknown, let’s not disrupt our own formations just yet."
Elder of Lingjian Sect opened his eyes, an invisible Sword Intent swirling around him.
"In this period, closely monitor the enemy, if the enemy doesn’t move, we don’t move; knowing the enemy and knowing ourselves will lead to victory,"
the Emperor of Yan stated.
The three Alliance Hierarchs spoke in turn.
First, Absolute Yin Ancestor announced the bad news to prepare everyone psychologically, then the Elder of Lingjian Sect stabilized everyone, and finally, the Emperor of Yan gave instructions concerning the affair.
With this, the atmosphere on the field and everyone’s mindset changed instantly.
Chen Yu had been in seclusion until recently, only to be interrupted by Gongyang Mountain, and had only learned of this major event after coming out.
The final decisive battle between the two sides was approaching so quickly.
And it concerned the fate of the Three Kingdoms, so Chen Yu had to treat it with great seriousness.
"Do they really think they can devour us so easily?" asked an elder from Purple Cloud Palace in the Realm of Guiyuan.
"If they really try to bite us, they might break a dozen teeth," said another.
"Under normal circumstances, perhaps that would be the case, but the Great Witch of the Nine Tribes has emerged."
Absolute Yin Ancestor stated bluntly.
This was something that could not be hidden.
Moreover, announcing it in advance was much better than allowing the Great Witch’s sudden appearance to impact the morale of the Three Kingdoms.
"Great Witch!"
Suddenly, no one was speaking at the scene, many silently mouthing the words, their expressions growing grave.
The Great Witch was a symbol of strength and wisdom of the Snow Mountain Tribe!
His emergence was sure to make the Nine Tribes on the battlefield even more troublesome, causing everyone to become anxious.
Chen Yu also muttered the title, remembering how he had been pursued by Lv Tiezu in the past, for which this Great Witch was partly responsible.
It was also for this reason that the opponent could accurately divine that Chen Yu was the one who killed Lv Santong, making Chen Yu take him even more seriously.
"Great Witch..." Lv Tiezu was also contemplating something.
If it hadn’t been for the war starting in Beiyuan, he might have been able to consult the Great Witch for ways to eliminate Chen Yu or to avoid the crisis.
"While the Great Witch is a formidable figure, everything has its dual aspects. If our side can eliminate this Great Witch, it would greatly impact the Nine Tribes, throwing them into disarray," said the Elder of Lingjian Sect.
Although that was the reasoning, killing the Snow Mountain Great Witch would be exceedingly difficult.
"In the upcoming period, everyone should prepare themselves, try to enhance your strength, and get ready for full-scale battle," the Emperor of Yan stated solemnly.
After discussing the enemy’s situation, they started to analyze the strength of the Three Kingdoms, this being part of knowing ourselves as well as the enemy.
After all, the Three Kingdoms had always fought separately, occasionally supporting each other, without much understanding of each other.
Only by clearly understanding the entire situation of the Three Kingdoms could they effectively strategize during the great battle.
…
Not only were the Three Kingdoms analyzing strategies, but after gathering, the Nine Tribes also held a secret meeting.
Inside a dark fortress, those of Guiyuan gathered, the Innate Peak not even qualifying to attend the meeting.
"Does the Great Witch mean that if we delay, our Nine Tribes are very likely to fail?" a man with black hair and a black robe, sitting calmly next to the Great Witch, asked.
This man was the chief of the Refining Iron Tribe as well as an Artifact Refining Master, and he was known for his volatile temper.
Originally, the Refining Iron Tribe was planning a war of attrition, but now someone was suggesting ending the fight quickly. If it had not been the Great Witch who spoke, the Refining Iron Clan Chief would certainly have started arguing on the spot.
In the Beiyuan Region, when it came to the art of refining, the Refining Iron Tribe was definitely number one, so unless necessary, other tribes would not offend the Refining Iron Tribe.
Nevertheless, even as an Artifact Refining Master, the Refining Iron Clan Chief spoke very politely to the Great Witch.
"Hasn’t everyone felt that, compared to the initial stages of the war, the recent battles have been very unsuccessful?" the Great Witch asked calmly, not arguing with the Refining Iron Clan Chief.
With this statement, everyone followed the Great Witch’s line of thought, immediately realizing the problem.
Indeed, compared to the initial stages of the war, the battles had become remarkably unsuccessful.
The Refining Iron Clan Chief frowned slightly; during the original war with Qi Country, they had the advantage, at least in terms of weapons and equipment, over Qi Country.
But the return of Ye Luofeng with the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword meant that if the Elder of Lingjian Sect wielded this sword, the Refining Iron Clan Chief would gain little advantage.
"If we start a full-scale war now, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses," stated a man in the Guiyuan Realm.
His words received wide agreement.
"What do you think is the key to defeating the Southern Three Kingdoms?" the Great Witch asked again.
"Key point?"
The people pondered.
"Chen Yu," suddenly spoke Meng Chixiong.
"What do you mean? Although Chen Yu is powerful, he is still at the Early Peak of the Guiyuan Realm. How can he be considered key in the vast expanse of the battlefield?" an old woman asked, not understanding.
"What is the key reason that the Nine Tribes unified?"
"When did the unfavorable war situation begin?" the Great Witch posed two further questions.
These two questions, however, resolved the doubts of the ordinary people.
The key to the unification of the Nine Tribes was indeed Meng Chixiong.
Meng Chixiong is the person with the greatest fortune among the Nine Tribes, and Chen Yu is similarly the person with the greatest fortune among the Southern Three Kingdoms. The unfavorable war situation began after Chen Yu’s return.
From beginning to end, the Great Witch merely incessantly questioned, but he guided everyone’s thought process.
The crowd present couldn’t help but hold the Great Witch in even higher esteem. freewebnoveℓ.com
"As long as we deal with this young man, this war will be much easier," The Great Witch sighed.
Early on, when the Great Witch had divined for Lv Tiezu, he had discovered Chen Yu, who was not only the greatest fate bearer of the Three Kingdoms in the south but also the Great Evil Star of the Nine Tribes.
If Chen Yu had died at the hands of Lv Tiezu back then, this war would have been much smoother.
"Killing an Early Guiyuan Realm Peak is not difficult."
The Refining Iron Clan Chief revealed a hint of a smile.
"It’s simple if the Refining Iron Clan Chief personally takes action, but how would Chen Yu confront someone at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm head-on?"
The War Alliance Clan Leader spoke, his words tinged with a lesson.
After all, the Nine Tribes had unified, and nominally, the first tribe was the War Alliance Tribe, while the Refining Iron Tribe acted rather independently, and the Refining Iron Clan Chief had a tempestuous nature, so the War Alliance Clan deliberately said this.
The crowd fell silent, thinking deeply.
Chen Yu would certainly not let them kill him easily, nor would he foolishly fight against someone at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm, thus strategizing was necessary.
"An old man has a recommended candidate and a plan as well," the Great Witch said.
"Great Witch, since you had already thought of a plan, why not just tell us?"
"Let’s not beat around the bush, Great Witch."
The crowd spoke one after another.
"To deal with Chen Yu, it’s best if Meng Chixiong takes action."
The Great Witch looked toward Meng Chixiong.
Meng Chixiong, sitting upright, suddenly brightened his gaze toward the Great Witch.
He had long had this premonition.
"Great Witch, Chen Yu’s strength is not the slightest bit weaker than Meng Chixiong."
The War Alliance Clan Leader said, at least previously Chen Yu had defeated Meng Chixiong, in his view, Meng Chixiong’s chances of winning against Chen Yu would be less.
"Clan Leader, you’re boosting the morale of others and dampening our own prestige. Meng Chixiong is the pride of our Nine Tribes, in no way inferior to Chen Yu."
In the War Alliance Tribe, a middle-aged man clad in black armor spoke.
This person was at the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm and held the greatest authority in the War Alliance Tribe, second only to the Clan Leader.
"Perhaps everyone should first hear the old man’s strategy before making a decision..."
The Great Witch interrupted the dispute.
When everyone had listened, they all revealed smiles.
"This method is feasible, killing Chen Yu is not an issue."
"Once Chen Yu is dead, that Holy Beast Fire Qilin becomes a masterless beast; perhaps the Three Kingdoms will even start infighting when that happens."
The people laughed.
"Before that, everyone should help Meng Chixiong break through to the Mid Guiyuan,"
the Great Witch stated, ever composed.
The crowd did not decline; with stronger strength from Meng Chixiong, there was a greater assurance of eliminating Chen Yu.
"Thank you, everyone."
Meng Chixiong cupped his fist.
In fact, it had been quite a while since he had broken through the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, and he was not far from the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm.
Now, with many aiding him from the Guiyuan Realm, he could advance sooner to the Guiyuan Realm, and his foundation would still be stable.
...
Three months passed, and there had been no major movements from the Snow Mountain Tribe.
However, during this period, collisions were still incessant, and sporadic battles occurred.
The Three Kingdoms in the south were relatively conservative, rarely initiating attacks or pursuits; they were buying time to strengthen their forces.
Many powerhouses even spared no expense, regardless of the consequences, to enhance their cultivation.
One day, within the cultivation forbidden ground, suddenly a loud laugh rang out, startling many.
Elder Chai, dressed in a mysterious robe, had just flown not far, and the aura he displayed was unmistakably the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm.
"Elder Chai has broken through."
"The luck of Lingjian Sect is also not bad. Recently, Ye Luofeng broke through to the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, and now Elder Chai has reached the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm; the position of Qi Country’s number one overlord is pretty much established."
"That’s great; our side has another Mid Guiyuan Realm figure, increasing our chances of winning."
After a while, an extremely beautiful woman in a seven-colored dress floated out, none other than Lingjian Sect’s Elder Duanmu, though her complexion wasn’t very good.
She was not far from the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm either, but also not close; now that Elder Chai had broken into the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, it was bad news for her faction.
Fortunately, Ye Luofeng was growing rapidly; otherwise, Elder Duanmu would spare no effort to break through to the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm.
One month later, within Red Cover City, bell chimes suddenly resonated, urgent and sonorous.
"The tribe is attacking."
"The enemy is here."
"Prepare for battle."
Within the main camp, roars were unceasing; inside Red Cover City, beams of light streaked out, the sky changing and darkening.
A massive army surged out, a dark mass charging, and the ground trembled.
Before long, facing the tribal army, both sides tacitly halted.
"This is your last chance to surrender."
The War Alliance Clan Leader stood proudly at the forefront, his aura formidable, his piercing eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
"Are you sure, you can smoothly swallow our Three Kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yan?"
The elder from Lingjian Sect spoke coldly.
He was signaling to the opposition that if both sides fought to the death, even if the Nine Tribes won, the outcome wouldn’t be much better.
If other forces wanted to take advantage amidst the chaos, the situation of the Nine Tribes would become even more perilous.
"We don’t need to tell you that,"
The Refining Iron Clan Chief revealed a disdainful smirk.
The high echelons of the Three Southern Kingdoms felt a sinking in their spirits; the Nine Tribes were so confident, was there some trick, or did they have some sort of trump card?
However, equally, this could also be the opposition acting, deliberately trying to intimidate the Three Kingdoms to lower morale.
"Heh, then let us witness the strength of the Nine Tribes."
The Emperor of Yan Country exclaimed.
They absolutely could not be overshadowed by the enemy’s momentum.
"Since that’s the case..."
The War Alliance Clan Leader raised his right hand high and then ferociously swung it down: "To battle!"
