I, Chu Xinghe, Don't Feel Wronged in the Slightest!

The news that the Demonic Sect had issued a harsh threat to retaliate against the Vast Heaven Sect's treasure vault spread like wildfire throughout the land.

What exactly did the Vast Heaven Sect do to the Demonic Sect?

After some inquiries, all the sects were shocked.

What the hell? The Demonic Sect planned the Blood Soul Grand Formation for so long, only to have Chu Xinghe see through it in a single glance?

How come Chu Xinghe is born with the attribute of being able to counter the Demonic Sect?

Even more outrageous is that half- Blood Soul Patriarch.

When they first heard that the Blood Soul Patriarch had only partially emerged, many people were worried.

After all, that was the Blood Soul Patriarch; even if it was only half a fragment, it was still a supreme being of the demonic path.

What? The second half...?

That's alright then... Now that the second half is out, what else can it do besides kicking its legs?

Vast Heaven Sect, you guys are really ruthless! You took away the lower half of the Blood Soul Patriarch without a word.

They were already sealed inside the Blood Soul Grand Formation; now that the lower half is missing, doesn't that mean we're missing out on countless fun moments?

However, the Demonic Sect's counterattack is no joke. Don't be fooled by how cowardly the Demonic Shadow Sect has seemed these past few years.

However, as the strongest force in the Demonic Sects, the Demonic Shadow Sect still has some tricks up its sleeve.

All sides are now watching and waiting when they hear that the Demonic Shadow Sect is going to war with the Vast Heaven Sect.

How will the Clear Vast Heaven Sect deal with the Demonic Sect's massive counterattack?

In the Vast Heaven Sect Haotian Grand Hall's main hall, the heads of each palace, along with all the elders Haotian Grand Hall.

The Taiyin and Taiyang Treasure Vaults are the Vast Heaven Sect's external resource reserves. The Demonic Sect has boasted that it will attack the Taiyin and Taiyang Treasure Vaults, but Gu Mingchao knows that with the Demonic Sect's current strength, it has absolutely no chance of attacking the two treasure vaults from two directions.

If the Demonic Sect truly possessed such strength, wouldn't it be better to attack the Vast Heaven Sect directly, instead of attacking the Treasure Vault?

Therefore, Gu Mingchao guessed that the Demonic Sect would definitely choose one of the two to attack this time, and that the purpose of saying they would attack both was to weaken the defense of the Vast Heaven Sect.

After all, if you're only attacking one side, and the powerful members of the Vast Heaven Sect turn into a bus and park it in the treasure vault, and you want the Demonic Sect to come... is that a counterattack? That's just sending them to their deaths!

The problem is that there are two treasure troves. If the Vast Heaven Sect divides its forces to defend them, things might not go as planned.

The Demonic Shadow Sect is not one to be trifled with. If they were to concentrate their forces to attack one of them, even if they managed to hold their ground, it would be a Pyrrhic victory!

No one wants to see the Vast Heaven Sect suffer countless casualties.

The elders nodded in agreement with the sect leader's analysis.

The problem now is, which side will the Demonic Sect attack, and how will the Vast Heaven Sect defend against it effectively?

Although the sect had spies within the Demonic Sect, such an important matter was beyond the reach of spies at that level.

The current meeting is focused on determining the Demonic Sect's objectives.

Chu Xinghe sat listlessly to one side, realizing that he had absolutely no need to attend a meeting of this caliber.

After all, this is a fierce battle between big shots; what can I possibly do?

But the sect leader insisted, "Xinghe, you need to listen and learn more about these things."

So Chu Xinghe was brought in to listen in.

The elders spent the entire morning studying various plans.

Some suggested that instead of waiting for the Demonic Sect to retaliate, they should just charge straight at them!

Yes... this plan to break through enemy lines is good, but the problem is, where is the new base of the Demonic Sect? We still haven't fully figured it out...

Some elders suggested that we abandon one of them, give all the treasures to the other, and focus all our efforts on defense.

This method is good, but it doesn't sound very nice to say out loud. Why?

The Vast Heaven Sect chickened out? The Demonic Sect said you couldn't defend against two of them and had to give up one? What if the Demonic Sect says they can only take on ten of you, and you still withdraw the other nine?

Therefore, this plan was not approved.

The meeting lasted all day, but ultimately yielded no results. Actually, Chu Xinghe's idea was... if all else fails, we could just return half of their ancestor's remains to them...

Whether someone wants to collect it or use it to make liquor is their business. Why should we go to such lengths for something that's practically useless?

But this is just a thought; it's definitely something I can't say.

"Xinghe, you've been listening all day, what are your thoughts?" the Grand Elder asked from the side.

"That's right, Xinghe, you're known as the Demonic Sect Bane, why don't you give your opinion on this?"

The other elders also agreed.

What opinion should I express?

My opinion is that our sect doesn't need to fight to the death. Casualties are completely unnecessary... Let's just learn from Wu Xingyun and back down. He can burn down Demonic Shadow City, so what? Are we afraid to burn down the treasure vault?

Everyone go home and burn their own things. Compared to my Vast Heaven Sect, we're losing resources. In just a few years, even the Demonic Sect will suffer losses that would lead to them having to divide up their belongings.

Of course, it's better to just think about it than to actually say it.

Just as Chu Xinghe remained silent, Elder He spoke up, "I do have a plan, but it will require Xinghe to go through some trouble."

"Elder He, please speak freely. I wouldn't dare to speak for others, but Xinghe is not afraid of being wronged!" The First Elder said calmly.

Chu Xinghe was speechless...

"My strategy is relatively simple; we only consider which side to defend. But if we change our approach, the Demonic Sect is also thinking about which side to attack."

"We can't divide our forces to defend, and the Demonic Sect would never dare to divide their forces to attack. So, as long as we find a way to make the Demonic Sect mistakenly believe that we are on the other side, then when they make the wrong choice, won't they run right into our main force?"

Elder He's words drew silent nods from everyone, Elder He continued speaking.

"The biggest challenge of the plan I'm about to propose is making the Demonic Sect believe we're on their side. That's where Xinghe comes in. If we send Xinghe, along with the Blood Soul Patriarch and those demonic crystals, to one side, wouldn't you, if you were the Demonic Sect, think that side is where the main force is located?"

Good heavens!

Elder He announced his plan, the other elders suddenly understood.

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded...

Elder He... I have helped your Thunder Palace to some extent, haven't I? I promise I'll never again say that your Thunder Palace's Thunder War Dance is just throwing thunder, okay?

You're trying to push me into a fire pit!

What if the Demonic Sect doesn't follow your plan? Then you'll find out... Holy crap... Chu Xinghe, the Demonic Sect Bane, is over there! Charge!

Wouldn't I die on the spot?

Just as Chu Xinghe was speechless, the Grand Elder spoke up, "This plan is feasible!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

That would be feasible... I think it's completely impossible!

Gu Mingchao shook his head. "No, that would be too dangerous for Xinghe."

"Don't be afraid!" The First Elder slammed his hand on the table and said, "Xinghe, bring out your Flute of Space and Time!"

"Huh?" Chu Xinghe was taken aback...

Oh right... I almost forgot I had the Flute of Space and Time... I quickly pulled Flute of Space and Time out, and the group of big shots all nodded in agreement.

The only danger of Elder He's plan is that if the Demonic Sect doesn't take the bait, then Xinghe is doomed.

But with the Flute of Space and Time, everything changes. If the Demonic Sect doesn't take the bait, Xinghe only needs to activate the Flute of Space and Time and lead everyone back to the sect. What? The Demonic Sect can catch up to the Vast Heaven Sect?

"As expected, the Grand Elder thought exactly the same thing as me. I had already thought of the Flute of Space and Time. Using Xinghe as bait, with Xinghe possessing the Flute of Space and Time, the Demonic Sect would never be able to harm Xinghe. Even if my plan goes wrong and the Demonic Sect really attacks Xinghe's side, Xinghe can simply leave with his people. At most, we'll lose a treasure trove, which my Vast Heaven Sect can afford!"

Yes! My Vast Heaven Sect can absolutely afford the loss!

Thank you Elder He, for your generous gift!

Elder He, it has to be you! I've been listening to this Celestial Person and I'm completely exhausted, but your plan has woken me up completely!

According to Elder He's plan, if the Demonic Sect, they will suffer heavy Demonic Sect. But if Demonic Sect don't, I can simply use the Flute of Space and Time and leave. Even if the Demonic Sect does manage to steal the treasure vault, my Vast Heaven Sect won't begrudge a few measly losses.

I, Chu Xinghe, hereby express my full support for this plan!

I don't feel wronged at all!

For the sake of the sect, I, Chu Xinghe, am willing to be the bait!

What danger? I, Chu Xinghe, am all about courage. There's a one-in-five chance: either the Demonic Sect will suffer heavy losses, or the sect will lose a treasure trove due to Elder He's plan. Either way, it's a huge win.

Elder He is truly Zhuge Wolong!

The elders all looked at Chu Xinghe, and seeing his fearless and even expectant expression, they all nodded in approval.

It truly lives up to its name as Xinghe!

Even with the Flute of Space and Time, most people would be panicking in the face of the entire Demonic Sect's main force, right? But look at us, Xinghe... we're not panicking at all, we're even full of anticipation!

Chu Xinghe looked excited!

With Elder He's brilliant plan, how could I possibly lose this round!

Elder He, I'll really step up if anything happens to your Thunder Palace in the future. I wouldn't mind even if you asked me to learn how to throw lightning.

Elder He's plan is invincible!

Success will cripple the Demonic Sect; failure will make me, Chu Xinghe, a legend. By any measure, the advantage is in our hands.

Then, a group of elders meticulously planned Elder He's scheme.

Elder He approached Chu Xinghe with a smile and said that this matter was not directed at Xinghe, but was entirely for the sake of the sect.

Elder He... You don't need to feel any guilt at all. I completely understand your feelings. Even if you're not targeting me, please do it a few more times in Elder He future. With Elder He's help, I am determined to take off on the path to becoming Martial God.

The plan was quickly finalized, Elder He was in high spirits.

Chu Xinghe looked excited.

The sect disciples watched as the elders, all with smiles on their faces, emerged from the Haotian Grand Hall after a day of meetings, and knew that the elders must have a perfect plan.

"Congratulations on your fortune! Hey! Congratulations on your amazing success!"

Chu Xinghe hummed a cheerful tune as he ran to the kitchen and devoured four bowls of braised pork in a row to celebrate.

Even when Ouyang Ming told her that he had some new research to share, she didn't find it so annoying anymore.

Junior Brother Ouyang, go ahead and do your research... You can do whatever you want now, anyway, you're no longer my lucky charm, what else can you research?

Now, the only person I, Chu Xinghe, admire most Elder He.

With Elder He's brilliant plan, I've completely gained the upper hand. Standing in the atmosphere, how could I possibly lose?!
