At those words, the Black Fox King's expression grew grave for the first time.
The Dayuan Kingdom was caught in a pincer attack by Loulan and Qingqiu.
The Scarlet Eagle King, of one of the Golden Tent's three royal courts, also seemed to have been tied down by the Kui Spirit Race.
Tie Hengjiang was personally leading the Iron Dao Soldiers straight into the Canglang King's heartland.
And at precisely this moment, Qing Chen was leading a million Dao Soldiers north in a frontal advance.
Now that Yue Ting had linked these events together, an enormous net suddenly came into view.
The Black Fox King stared at the two thrusts marked on the military map, aimed respectively at the Black Fox King Tribe and the Azure Wolf King Tribe, a dark gleam shifting ceaselessly in his eyes.
Who was truly wielding the blade behind such a vast scheme?
Was the ultimate target really the Canglang King, as Yue Ting had said? It seemed only someone of his weight could warrant a scheme this large.
The Black Fox King spoke impassively. "Bring me the latest edition of Great Jin's Heavenly Gang True Lord Ranking."
A fox-fur-clad priestess standing beside the throne immediately produced a silver-gray ranking scroll.
The scroll was not an original, but a duplicate imprinted through a profound mirror spell by the Black Fox King Tribe's spies embedded in Great Jin.
The priestess poured magic power into it, and lines of silver text appeared overhead inside the royal tent.
