Xue Qianxun's Grand Scheme for the Four Seas

Thirty miles beyond the temporary palace, atop an iceberg, Xue Qianxun gazed up at the heavens.

Without a sound, a figure appeared behind her. Xue Qianxun slowly turned and saw Gu Yu.

"What exactly were you trying to say just now?" Gu Yu asked.

Xue Qianxun smiled faintly. "This disciple merely wished to remind you that the opponent we face is not the East Sea Dragon Palace crowd, who know only strength and nothing of strategy. He is a genius of the Dao of Wisdom who, whenever he acts, leaves no drop unaccounted for and reveals true skill precisely where none seems possible!"

"And so?" Gu Yu asked.

"And so, every strategy we put forth from here on must be treated with the utmost caution!" Xue Qianxun said.

Gu Yu gave a soft laugh. "Could it be... that you think too highly of him?"

"Think too highly of him? The Great Cang Emperor never underestimated him, yet his realm still changed hands beneath his feet! For a man like him, no estimation is too high!" Xue Qianxun said. "Besides, everything that happened today was unusual from start to finish."

Gu Yu frowned slightly. "What was unusual about it?"

Xue Qianxun spoke...

In today's battle, what you focused on was likely the four formations: the blocking formation, trapping formation, Illusion Formation, and killing formation...

And what did I focus on? I focused on the two pieces of information he deliberately conveyed at the very beginning...

The first message told us that there was no further danger beyond the blocking formation, that we could enter without concern. We fell for it, leading to an unprecedented rout.

That message has already been proven to be a trap.

Then what about the second message?

Did anyone pay attention to it?

There was no reason
