Fishing in Muddy Waters

The Tengu Race, like the Nine-Lives Cat Race, was one of the foremost powers in the Central Plains, a peak Fourth Grade Heaven Race. The number of Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortals within the Nine-Lives Cat Race alone exceeded four digits.

Therefore, a clash between the two peak Heaven Races could not be decided in a short time.

At the outset, both powers went all out to seize that High-grade Immortal Stone mine as quickly as possible. They wanted to use their upper-echelon strength to forcibly overwhelm the other side and take the mine in the shortest possible time.

Unfortunately, the two peak Heaven Races were evenly matched. After several months of battles between Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortals, no victor had emerged. Instead, each side had lost a two-digit number of Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortals.

Seeing that the losses had grown too great, the Tengu Race and the Nine-Lives Cat Race could no longer endure it. After some consideration, they realized they could not continue like this. Otherwise, even if a victor was eventually decided, the surviving side would be devoured alive by the other Fourth Grade Heaven Races nearby.

In that case, they would use gentler methods. Let the Fifth Grade Earth Immortals and Sixth Grade True Immortals fight instead, while the Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortals served as strategic deterrents and could not act lightly.

Thus, the opportunity Song Ankang had long awaited finally arrived. Since the clashes would mainly be between Sixth Grade True Immortals and Fifth Grade Earth Immortals, it meant Song Ankang could fish in muddy waters.

Moreover, once he had enslaved enough formidable Earth Immortals, if he found the right opportunity, perhaps even Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortals could fall into Song Ankang's hands.

Having thought it through, Song Ankang hesitated no longer. Based on information provided
