A short while later, Fang Chen and Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor left the Elf Palace and returned to the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
Once they were back, Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor asked Fang Chen, "Who do you plan to send behind enemy lines?"
Fang Chen smiled. "Don't worry about that, Elder Bai Ling. Wait here for news from me. I'll take care of it now."
Seeing that Fang Chen did not want to say more, Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor did not press him. She had faith in him. Since he had said as much, she believed he could do it.
Fang Chen then entered the Ninth-Layer Space of the Swallowing Heaven Tower. He woke Little Crane and said to Little Crane and Myna Bird, "Little Crane, Huahua, the Elf Race is preparing to counterattack. It's time for us to act too. I'm sending you into the Devil Race Camp to spread Heaven Demon Powder!"
"Wonderful! We finally get to act!"
Myna Bird was thrilled to hear Fang Chen's words.
Little Crane was excited too. "Master, don't worry. We'll get it done!"
Fang Chen went over the details of the plan with Little Crane. They did not have enough Heaven Demon Powder to cover the entire battlefield, so he planned to have Little Crane spread it at crucial points along the Devil Race's retreat routes. Once their camps were paralyzed, they would be unable to receive the retreating troops. That would cut off the Devil Race's escape routes, after which the Elf Race army could launch its counterattack.
Fang Chen handed the Heaven Demon Powder to Little Crane. "Go."
"Okay!"
Little Crane nodded, then took Myna Bird along and burrowed straight into the void from inside the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
Even Fang Chen, as the tower's master, could not sense Little Crane's movements.
