I, Tantai Jing, Have a Plan!
Wu Xingyun was shot in the face and bled profusely!
Wu Xingyun was completely dumbfounded...
What the hell happened? This rat thief just exploded on the spot without warning?
"There's something wrong with these spirit stones!" Tantai Jing held a green spirit stone, his face turning green from the light it shone on him.
Upon hearing what Tantai Jing said, Yuan Ying immediately picked up a spirit stone to investigate.
Good heavens! As soon as Yuan Ying held the spirit stone and absorbed a little bit to test it, he felt a strange power surging out from the spirit stone.
The surging force instantly caused some strange reactions in a part of my body that's hard to describe!
Even with all his strength, Yuan Ying could barely suppress this surge of evil fire!
At this moment, Yuan Ying's tears were streaming down his face...
Is the Vast Heaven Sect really a righteous sect?
The stuff inside this spirit stone doesn't look like something a reputable sect could possibly possess...
Not to mention Yuan Ying, even Wu Xingyun was dumbfounded at this moment...
Aren't you guys from the Vast Heaven Sect a little too vicious?
What do you mean by directly poisoning the spirit stones?
Even our Demonic Sect wouldn't stoop to such despicable tactics, okay?
As a prestigious and righteous sect, does your Vast Heaven Sect have even the slightest bit of decency?
Even I, Wu Xingyun, think your move was a bit too dirty...
The problem is that now is not the time to consider whether Vast Heaven Sect's methods are dirty or not. What we need to consider now is why Vast Heaven Sect knew in advance that we would steal from them, and why they prepared such a ruthless trap of spirit stones for us!
Wu Xingyun swore to the heavens that no one could possibly know about the appearance of the Yuan Ying and the thieving rat at the Demonic Sect.
After all, since Yuan Ying and Rat Thief arrived at the Demonic Sect, apart from himself and Tantai Jing, even the elders of the Demonic Sect were unaware of this matter, so there was absolutely no possibility of the news leaking out.
"Star Divination Art... it's Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art!"
Yuan Ying, his face ashen, said, "Chu Xinghe must have used the Star Divination Art to predict our plans for today, so he prepared these poisonous spirit stones to trap us!"
Upon hearing Yuan Ying speak, Wu Xingyun and Tantai Jing also had expressions of sudden realization.
That's right... The entire Demon Race knows that Chu Xinghe obtained the Star Divination Art, even though Wu Xingyun didn't quite believe in it before.
After all, you, Chu Xinghe, are a Human Race. What reason do you have to learn the Fox Clan's Star Divination Art?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
But thinking about what Chu Xinghe had been doing recently, Wu Xingyun realized... you can't treat Chu Xinghe with common sense at all.
After all, just look at what Chu Xinghe has done since he returned from the Demon Star Continent...
The first matter was the alliance between the Muyue Kingdom and the Divine Wood Clan to cultivate the sacred fields.
Previously, when Chu Xinghe led the Muyue Kingdom to relentlessly deplete the resources of the Divine Wood Clan, Wu Xingyun also felt that Chu Xinghe had lost his mind.
But the final result was so outrageous...
Everyone says that Chu Xinghe came up with the idea to cultivate the spirit fields, but Wu Xingyun argues that if Chu Xinghe did, why didn't he just explain the method from the beginning? Why did he have to waste the sect's resources like this?
What's wrong, Chu Xinghe? Are you addicted to wasting sect resources?
But now, considering the Star Divination Art, everything can be explained...
Chu Xinghe must have used the Star Divination Art to deduce the final result, but the Star Divination Art can only deduce a general idea, not know everything... That's why Chu Xinghe made all sorts of attempts before...
That's right... that's how it is! It must be!
The same thing happened later at Divine Fox Ridge. Chu Xinghe used the Star Divination Art to deduce that there must be a Blood Spirit Ore, but he didn't know when the Blood Spirit Ore would appear, which is why he wasted a lot of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones.
Upon hearing what Wu Xingyun said, Yuan Ying immediately agreed, saying, "Demonic Emperor, what you said makes perfect sense..."
It's the Star Divination Art... it must be the Star Divination Art... I, Yuan Ying, am so wronged... I was actually part of Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art deduction...
This time, despite my meticulous planning, I Yuan Ying, have once again encountered Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art!
Overcome with emotion, Yuan Ying drew his blood-red blade and once again carved the character for "injustice" onto his face... declaring that he, Yuan Ying, would never wash away the injustice on his face until he destroyed the Vast Heaven Sect!
Seeing the two words "injustice" on Yuan Ying's face, Wu Xingyun couldn't help but sigh!
I understand now... I, Wu Xingyun, understand everything now...
What is this talk of Chu Xinghe's flawless strategies... what is this talk of Chu Xinghe's unpredictable abilities... in reality, it's all because Chu Xinghe has mastered the Star Divination Art. All his actions are due to the Star Divination Art, not because Chu Xinghe himself is particularly capable!
But when it came to the Star Divination Art, Wu Xingyun said, "Isn't this a coincidence... Our Demonic Sect has actually studied the Star Divination Art."
Our Demonic Sect has even mastered some methods to circumvent the Star Divination Art.
The so-called Star Divination Art deduction is not about Creating Something from Nothing, but rather involves a cause-and-effect problem.
The Star Divination Art can only be relatively accurate when it involves the cause and effect of one's own actions.
For example, since our Demonic Sect is targeting the Vast Heaven Sect and Chu Xinghe could use the Star Divination Art to deduce our plan in advance and create so many Poison Spirit Stones to harm us.
However, if we want to find a way to avoid the karmic connection with the Vast Heaven Sect or Chu Xinghe, then Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art will no longer be able to deduce everything about us.
Hearing what Wu Xingyun said, Yuan Ying suddenly realized that Demonic Sect Yuan Ying was quite capable. The Star Divination Art was almost omnipotent in the Demon Star Continent, but the Demonic Sect had even figured out how to circumvent Star Divination Art!
"Our attempt to steal resources from the Vast Heaven Sect using the Gate of Stealing Shadows will be detected by Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art. However, if we don't target the Vast Heaven Sect but instead steal resources from the Martial Emperor City, then no matter what we do, Chu Xinghe won't be able to predict our methods using the Star Divination Art!"
Upon hearing Wu Xingyun's words, Yuan Ying was overjoyed!
What are we waiting for... let's take action against Martial Emperor City!
Wu Xingyun and Tantai Jing looked at Yuan Ying with great joy and said, "Yuan Ying, you're right, let's do it!"
Tantai Jing personally delivered the Gate of Stealing Shadows to Yuan Ying...
The Yuan Ying holding the Gate of Stealing Shadows was completely dumbfounded.
"No... you guys don't think I'd use the Gate of Stealing Shadows, do you?"
"You don't know how?"
"No way... I thought you guys would..."
"How could we possibly be the first time we've ever seen the Gate of Stealing Shadows?"
"But I don't know how either... But don't panic! I, Yuan Ying, am Half-Step Mystic God. How could I not understand a mere Gate of Stealing Shadows? Let me study it a bit..."
An hour passed... The three guarding the Gate of Stealing Shadows were completely bewildered...
Two hours have passed... and the three of them are still completely bewildered, guarding the Gate of Stealing Shadows...
Another day passed like this... The three of them, guarding the Gate of Stealing Shadows, were completely dumbfounded...
Yuan Ying slammed the Gate of Stealing Shadows to the ground. What the hell was this piece of junk? Even as a Half-Step Mystic God, he couldn't use it... Only the lineage passed down from the Thief Rat Clan knew its unique method of use.
The problem is... the last thief rat capable of using the Gate of Stealing Shadows... just exploded...
Wu Xingyun was so angry he almost wet himself... Seriously, what was the point of all that planning we did just now?
We can't even activate the Gate of Stealing Shadows now, so what's the point of all our plans?
They even tried to steal from Martial Emperor City... This Gate of Stealing Shadows is unusable, what are we supposed to steal?!
After being completely bewildered for a whole day, Wu Xingyun came up with a brand new idea.
How about... we seize Martial Emperor City?
Cheng Xiaotian Martial Emperor City is merely Martial God. Although there are many other Martial Gods in Martial Emperor City, with your Half-Step Mystic God ability, Yuan Ying, it wouldn't be impossible for us to openly rob Martial Emperor City, would it?
But as soon as he uttered the idea, Yuan Ying panicked...
If you want to kill me, just say so, okay? There's no need for you to beat around the bush.
It's true I'm Half-Step Mystic God, but if I make a move against Martial Emperor City, the Vast Heaven Sect will know immediately. And once Mystic God Gu Mingchao locks onto my aura, tell me, do you think I have any chance of surviving?
Although Yuan Ying's statement highlighted his cowardice... Wu Xingyun had to admit that Yuan Ying was right.
Nowadays, there are very few Half-Step Mystic Gods in the world. Vast Heaven Sect must be paying close attention to Half-Step Mystic Gods. If Half-Step Mystic God suddenly appears, then it must be related to Yuan Ying. If Yuan Ying doesn't take action and hides, even if Gu Mingchao is Mystic God, it will be difficult for him to find him in this vast world.
However, once the Yuan Ying makes a move, given Gu Mingchao's abilities, he will instantly lock onto its presence. Once locked onto by Gu Mingchao, the Yuan Ying will have absolutely no chance of surviving.
Right now, Wu Xingyun and the other two were sitting together, feeling incredibly stifled...
We clearly possess the Half-Step Mystic God, yet we're completely suppressed by Gu Mingchao and can't do anything...
We've acquired the Gate of Stealing Shadows, such a powerful thieving tool, but the problem is... the door is... but the key is gone...
The Demonic Sect's Ghostly Revival Plan has now reached a stalemate...
A Half-Step Mystic God, a Demonic Sect Master... plus a reincarnated individual... the three of them sat together, staring at each other in bewilderment...
It has to be Tantai Jing. As expected of someone who has lived two lives, Tantai Jing spoke up just when Wu Xingyun and Yuan Ying were at a loss.
"I do have a plan!"
Yuan Ying and Wu Xingyun both looked at Tantai Jing.
"How about... we mobilize the entire Demonic Sect, and we work to earn resources?"
Yuan Ying: "???"
Wu Xingyun: "???"
But soon, Tantai Jing revealed his plan. He said, "Your Demonic Emperor, we have many Demonic Sect and experts in our Demonic Sect, but our previous approach was flawed... We've repeatedly clashed with the Vast Heaven Sect..."
Each time we suffer heavy losses... Our Demonic Sect is getting poorer and poorer, and now we're so poor we can barely afford to eat...
Why don't we change our mindset...? Putting aside our Demonic Sect against the Vast Heaven Sect, if we just focus on our work, we can absolutely earn a lot of resources through our own strength...
And then there's Yuan Ying. Venerable Yuan Ying, as Half-Step Mystic God, if you were to cause trouble, you would definitely be targeted by Mystic God Gu Mingchao immediately.
But let's look at it another way. If you, Yuan Ying, don't cause trouble and instead earn resources through normal means... then even Mystic God Gu Mingchao wouldn't expect it... Even if you occasionally reveal your cultivation level, Mystic God Gu Mingchao wouldn't pay any attention to you!
After all, even if Gu Mingchao racked his brains, he would never have imagined that a Half-Step Mystic God would not cause any trouble but instead start working!
