"Everyone be careful, our target is a small team from the Barbary Clan. ★😝 🍬🐙 Don't let the other families spot us, fly close to the ground," Solhaus ordered, swooping down and skimming the ground. Lin Feng and his ten teammates did the same.
"Don't worry, Captain. They won't be able to find us unless we specifically engage them," Yvonne said with a flirtatious smile to Solhaus, reverting to her true self.
Deliberately preparing for battle?
Lin Feng couldn't help but recall some information in the original book about the battle between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans.
Whether it was the Eight Great Clans or the Four Divine Beasts Clan, both sides attacked each other, and deliberately waited for the other to come over.
For example, if the Four Divine Beasts Clan didn't want to fight and all retreated to the Skyrite Mountains, even the Eight Great Clans couldn't do anything to them.
If the Eight Great Clans don't come out of their own territories, the Four Divine Beasts Clan won't dare to act arrogantly.
But
The Eight Great Clans hated each other to the bone, as did the Four Divine Beasts Clan! So they deliberately provoked and fought time and time again! Neither side backed down. Knowing it was a war of attrition, the Eight Great Clans were willing to expend their resources, while the Four Divine Beasts Clan were too proud to submit.
In the end, it's all just a facade.
Of course, for god-level powerhouses living in the world, their ordinary material and spiritual needs are largely satisfied, and only face can drive them to fight each other.
Of the Eight Great Clans, four are gathered on the eastern border of the Skyrite Mountains, while the other four are gathered on the western Skyrite Mountains. They are very united, and they are also worried about being scattered and defeated one by one by the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
As things stand, the Four Divine Beasts Clan simply cannot defeat them one by one.
and
The Eight Great Clans located on both sides of the Skyrite Mountains frequently send powerful teams to travel between them. Each journey follows a fixed route. Anyone encountered along the way who belongs to one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan is to be killed!
Moreover, they sometimes launched sneak attacks and killed people on the outskirts of the Skyrite Mountains.
"Such provocation, how can the Four Divine Beasts Clan swallow this insult? They're being blatant and following a set route. If they back down again, the Four Divine Beasts Clan will be ridiculed as the Four Worms Clan." Lin Feng understood this in his heart.
After flying for about three days, Lin Feng and his group arrived at their destination, an intelligence outpost next to their fixed route. Lin Feng glanced at the sand dunes in the distance; they were inconspicuous in the wasteland.
"Come out," Solhaus said calmly.
This intelligence outpost was also provided by the Grand Elder.
The sand dunes twisted and turned, and a figure emerged from them—a lean young man in a yellow robe. As soon as he appeared, the young man in the yellow robe quickly glanced at Lin Feng's group of twelve, and finally fixed his gaze on Solhaus.
"Greetings, Elder," the young man in the yellow robe said respectfully.
As a long-standing elder of the family, Solhaus naturally recognized the young man in the yellow robe.
"When will the Barbary Clan's men arrive?" Solhaus asked.
Intelligence stations utilize special abilities and methods such as having clones spread across two locations to rapidly transmit intelligence. This transmission speed is extremely fast; even if the target is hundreds of millions of miles away, their movements may already be known to our side.
"To be precise, it's suspected to be forces from the Barbary Clan," the young man in charge of intelligence said. "Those suspected Barbary Clan are still millions of miles away. At their current speed, they should arrive here in about a day and a half."
Solhaus nodded.
"You said suspected? Can't we be completely sure it's someone from the Barbary Clan?" Lin Feng interjected.
The young man in the yellow robe glanced at Lin Feng but didn't pay him any attention, treating him as just another ordinary member of Solhaus's team.
"We can't be completely certain. According to intelligence, the vast majority of that team are Water Element experts, but there are two who aren't. We can only tentatively determine that they are from the Barbary Clan, or perhaps, a joint team of two families," said the young man in the yellow robe.
Solhaus frowned.
Lin Feng chuckled and transmitted his voice to Solhaus, saying, " Solhaus, I didn't expect to run into all the good things happening to this allied team. Maybe we can even kill two of their elders in one battle."
Lin Feng didn't care. Whether the opponent sent one Seven-Star Fiend Seven-Star Fiend two, it made no difference to him. Killing them was as easy as killing chickens and dogs; it wouldn't take much effort at all.
If Lin Feng hadn't temporarily given up on possessing willpower, he would have already displayed his strength, comparable to Paragon, and scared the Eight Great Clans away.
Of course, it wasn't what Lin Feng wanted to do to defeat so many families single-handedly.
The battles with the Eight Great Clans will certainly deplete the strength of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but they can also inspire the clansmen to cultivate diligently. If he were to defeat the Eight Great Clans single-handedly, he would inevitably be elevated to the altar of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, replacing the Azure Dragon and becoming the new generation's guardian of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
In this way, the descendants of the Four Divine Beasts Clan will have someone to rely on, and their lives and cultivation will surely return to what they were before.
This is not something Lin Feng wants to see.
Therefore, although Lin Feng wanted to help the Four Divine Beasts Clan defeat the Eight Great Clans, he couldn't do it too obviously. He could only play a supporting role from behind the scenes, so that the clan members wouldn't become dependent on him.
In this way, when the Eight Great Clans were finally defeated, the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan would only believe that it was the result of their families working together, rather than the achievement of any one person.
Solhaus was taken aback by what he heard, but then smiled again.
The opposing team is a united one, and we've just gained Elder Lin Feng on our side, so what's there to be afraid of!
Thinking this, Solhaus felt much relieved and instructed the young man in the yellow robe, "You may leave."
"You, follow me." Solhaus took to the air, and Lin Feng and the ten Six-Star Fiend immediately followed.
The man in the yellow robe looked up as the group flew away, murmuring, "My people, we must win." As intelligence agents, they walked on the edge of life and death; if discovered by the enemy, they would be killed without hesitation.
Most of these intelligence agents were quite weak.
They could only hope that powerful figures like Solhaus and Lin Feng would seek revenge!
Several thousand miles away from the intelligence outpost, Lin Feng and his men stopped and lay in ambush in the nearby mountains.
"Captain, the enemy is coming, how should we deal with it?" one of the team members, Jarvis, asked Solhaus.
Solhaus did not answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Lin Feng. He clearly wanted to hear Lin Feng's opinion.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "I cultivate the Laws of Wind Elements, and I am skilled at trapping people. When the enemy arrives, I will trap them in one area first, and then you can fly in to fight. Of course, the first target is still their Seven-Star Fiend expert."
"We'll fly in?" Solhaus sensed the implication in Lin Feng's words. " Lin Feng, aren't you attacking with us?"
Lin Feng explained with a smile, "Within the area I've set up, they'll be subject to immense Spatial Binding, severely hindering their movement. Even Seven-Star Fiend will only be able to perform at roughly the level of Six-Star Fiend. Therefore, even if the opponent has two Seven-Star Fiend powerhouses, Elder Solhaus, you alone are more than capable of dealing with them. As for me, I spend most of my time on trapping techniques, so my attack power isn't high, only comparable to an average Six-Star Fiend. One more of me won't make a difference."
Lin Feng told a white lie. It wasn't that he didn't want to take action, but rather that if he did, he could almost instantly kill the entire opposing team, including the Seven-Star Fiend.
In that case, he would be elevated to the status of a god within the family, just like before. This is not what Lin Feng wants.
By using his trapping techniques in conjunction with Solhaus and his team, he could maintain control of the battle and maximize the chances of survival for his ten teammates and Solhaus.
"Alright, let's proceed according to Elder Lin Feng's method." Solhaus pondered for a moment before adopting Lin Feng's suggestion.
