I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1522 - 732: The Advantage Is Mine!
"Now, who holds the advantage?!"
Xu Yan, Jiang He, Chu Changfeng, Zhu Huai, Ling Xu, Zhao Danqing, the giant turtle, and himself—nine Yang God True Monarchs, plus nearly a hundred thousand troops.
Nine against six, no matter how you see it, the advantage is his!
Between heaven and earth, there remained silence, with only Chen Yuan’s voice echoing clearly in everyone’s ears.
Nangong Lie’s pupils shrank deeply, fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, eyes full of shock and disbelief.
How is it possible?
How is it possible!
Why is it like this!
Clearly he had orchestrated everything, intending to make East Mountain Valley Chen Yuan’s burial ground, then unify Shuzhou and dominate the South with pride.
But.....
But.... why!
How did Chen Yuan see through everything, how did he know all of this?
How did he dare to bring all his forces here, how was he able to deduce that the demon clan had already allied with him?
Nangong Lie had countless questions in his heart, wanting to shout furiously.
In his calculations, Chen Yuan’s overt strength far surpassed his own, holding advantage, though he wouldn’t come alone to South State, he would certainly keep half of his forces to guard Shuzhou, preventing a Blood State invasion.
Thus, with six True Monarch Demon Saints gathered, he should absolutely hold a definitive advantage, but now, the situation has reversed.
He, who once held the upper hand, has now fallen into disadvantage!
"You.... how did you foresee that I would set up an ambush here?" Nangong Lie was silent for a moment, staring at Chen Yuan and asked.
"I.... am omniscient!"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly.
This time, he indeed went all out, with Shuzhou now only guarded by two Yang God True Monarchs and a few Refining God True Masters, making it terribly weak.
Anyone else would definitely not dare to take such a big risk.
But... he did!
The foundation, to him, is merely an illusion in the mirror—important, but not as crucial as imagined. His real reliance is these powerful figures gathered here now.
As long as they remain, even if Shuzhou is seized by others, he still has the capability to retake it.
Of course, he was forced into this as well.
With calculation against the unwary, he knew that Nangong Lie’s collusion with the demons was no simple matter and when making a move against him, the demon clan’s experts would also assist.
If he didn’t put everything on the line, the odds of winning weren’t high.
Even now, his forces only slightly outstrip the opponent, far from overwhelming crushing force—with no support from Biyou Palace, it would just be evenly matched.
Besides these current powerhouses, even Moluo has arrived in South State, though his role is to guard Zhen Nan Pass, preventing the demon clan’s northward advance.
Chen Yuan’s plan was to strike down Nangong Lie and most of his living forces swiftly, then quickly divide into two routes.
One led by him, heading straight to Zhen Nan Pass to control the situation.
The other, swiftly returning to reinforce Shuzhou.
In this way, he ensured neither place would fall.
"Sect Leader Zhao, you once said you wouldn’t interfere in worldly affairs, now why do you stand with Chen Yuan?" At this moment when Chen Yuan’s intentions were made evident.
Nangong Lie was not only furious about being outmaneuvered, but also furious at Zhao Danqing’s broken promise, having pledged not to meddle, only to side with Chen Yuan instead.
What does that mean?
Look down on him?
"Sect Leader Zhao indeed said he wouldn’t meddle in Central Plains’ mundane matters, but now.... he must act because... you, Nangong Lie, have betrayed the Human Race and allied with the demon clan.
Allowing you to grow would bring disaster to the Central Plains in the future!"
Shushan’s Sect Leader, Ling Xu, who had been silent, spoke in a deep voice.
Zhao Danqing nodded slightly, and said solemnly:
"Those who betray the Human Race are not worthy of Biyou Palace’s aid, Nangong Lie, today, you seek your own doom!"
"You...."
Before he finished his words, Chen Yuan immediately threw a stone into the void, then flicked his finger, and a divine light appeared in the void, manifesting into an image.
And this image was exactly the one captured by Chen Yuan during the battle at Shushan.
Chen Yuan stood in the void, gazing at the Zhen Nan army below, speaking in a deep voice:
"Soldiers of the Zhen Nan army, look carefully, Nangong Lie has betrayed the Human Race, colluding with the demons of the South, aiming to devour the Central Plains, and turning us of the Central Plains Human Race into blood food.
I know you’re people of reason, and would fight unto death for Nangong Lie in the chaotic conflicts of the human world, but now, after such deeds by Nangong Lie.
Will you still pledge allegiance to him? Do you wish your family and friends to henceforth become slaves and blood food to the demon clan?"
As soon as these words came out, coupled with the accelerated images above, they quickly plunged the people below into chaos. They compared and found that the three beside the prince now were indeed three demons!
"How.... can this be?!
"No.... impossible!"
"The prince he...."
The generals of the Zhen Nan army, half of them now faltered, as rumors had spread in the army these days, suggesting that the peace in Southern Border for hundreds of years was because Nangong Lie secretly colluded with the demon clan.
Deliberately preserving strength.
However, such rumors were too hard to believe, and many soldiers of the Zhen Nan army dismissed them with disdain. Meanwhile, those generals had killed some rumor spreaders and didn’t take it to heart.
