No matter how one looked at it, there was nothing wrong with Old White Ape's plan.
But however thoroughly Old White Ape calculated, he could never have accounted for a Ninth Awakening expert hiding among Army-Breaker's ranks!
After all, what normal Ninth Awakening expert would happily tag along with the main force, out in the wind and rain, in the Demon Domain no less, risking exposure? Wouldn't that be downright idiotic?
If Old White Ape could predict even that, he wouldn't just be exceptionally intelligent. He would be cheating.
"Go and prepare."
Old White Ape spoke softly, no longer in the mood to talk. The Demon Beasts below scattered, spreading out in every direction with the Demon Plain at their center. Demon Beasts filled the eye, making it utterly impossible to sneak back.
Even the road leading to that Deep Mountain had been completely sealed off.
"The Demon Clan has started moving..."
Yu Mo sat on the mountain summit, gazing at the Demon Beasts stretching into the distance as far as the eye could see, and murmured to himself.
Zhong Yushu stood beside him and nodded slightly. "So, even if you sit here, how can you help them?"
"What you're doing right now doesn't seem like the work of a wise man at all."
As he spoke, Zhong Yushu turned his head and glanced at him.
Yu Mo fell somewhat silent and didn't respond immediately. Even his eyes held a trace of contemplation. Only after a while did he grin. "I'm going for sentiment. Say, when Yu Sheng comes back and sees me waiting quietly for him here, do you think he'll be touched?"
Looking at the smile on Yu Mo's face, a trace of complicated feeling flashed through Zhong Yushu's eyes. After a long while, he finally spoke softly.
