Lying in Wait

The number of Sequence Holder from the Scarlet Alliance State to the Thousand Islands Alliance was not small. Some escorted the ferocious beasts back to Western Capital City, while others cooperated in the sweep.

It must be said that after confirming the situation of Demon Lord Hu Yu through instant messaging, the group faced little pressure when launching their attack.

In contrast to Nagos's high-profile actions, the group did not film their attack on the ferocious beast, nor did they release any information.

Turcolando, on the other hand, has revived its high profile and is attempting to unify the Thousand Islands Alliance through religion in order to combat the country's increasingly severe disasters.

If this kind of thing fails, there's nothing to say; if it succeeds, then Turcorando has done a great service, and he can accept any kind of charlatan behavior.

"Her risk is very high!"

To be honest, Zhang Hao greatly admired women like Turcolando.

For humans with an average lifespan of around eighty years, Turcolando is already over sixty years old, which is considered quite old.

The successive deaths of the Speaker of the Thousand Islands Alliance are definitely not a desirable position. Finding a way out in times of crisis is not easy. To find a development path suitable for a nation's national conditions in the pursuit of global harmony requires not only wisdom but also capability.

"It seems you believe he will come to the Thousand Islands Alliance again," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"He lost his Cloud Wings, making his movements less convenient than before. He can only kill through surprise attacks," Zhang Hao said. "I believe the information provided by Badun, but I think more likely that the Ice Palace he set up was a smokescreen, and his real body quietly left there, constantly gathering information about you!"

"Very likely!"

"No one dares to go in there except you. Whoever is monitoring from outside will assume that Tiger Feather is still in the Ice Palace!"

Zhang Hao, whose previous incarnation was an emperor, was an expert in combat, and his judgment on the behavior of individual cultivators was almost always accurate.

If the Qin Meng Continent and the Scarlet Alliance State weren't so far apart, Demon Lord Hu Yu would have already come knocking.

Zhang Xuezhou relies heavily on on-the-spot reactions in many matters, and he is less adept at scheming than the Emperor and others. Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou needs to listen to the Emperor's advice.

The fixed location of Demon Lord Tiger Feather is easy to deal with. Zhang Xuezhou even considered requisitioning rockets from the Aomeijia Alliance to bombard any ice palace or underground palace, thereby thwarting the opponent's plan.

However, if Demon Lord Hu Yu were to leave quietly, that would be a different story.

"We discussed this for a while and came up with three approaches: one is to use online information to spread the word and lure him out, thus exposing his location; another is to encourage the public to take photos and videos to see if there's any chance of capturing his trail; and the third is to monitor ships that are currently in transit to try and find him!"

Zhang Huang jumped out of a window and waved to Zhang Xuezhou.

"If he chooses to come to the Thousand Islands Alliance in secrecy, I'd like to make contact with him and see if he's related to Yu," Zhang Huang said.

"What if it's relevant?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with great interest.

"We don't want much. I just hope he'll stop," Zhang Huang said earnestly. "It would be even better if he could do something that would benefit us!"

"A very ideal idea!"

Zhang Hao shrugged, indicating that Zhang Huang's idea was wishful thinking.

The best way to eliminate a threat is to eliminate the opponent; agreements only exist under equal conditions where neither side can do anything to the other.

In today's world, no one can rival Demon Lord Hu Yu; even Zhang Xuezhou only managed to take advantage of the situation and run away.

This is an unequal situation. If Demon Lord Hu Yu seizes an opportunity, he will inevitably choose to annihilate everyone rather than sign an agreement.

Even after signing the relevant agreement, Zhang Hao was still worried that the other party might breach the contract at any time once they figured out the situation.

From his own perspective, Zhang Hao did not recommend Zhang Huang's actions, which were leading everyone into the abyss.

What do you think?

Zhang Huang stared intently into Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

Within their inner circle, everyone knew that Zhang Xuezhou had become the de facto opponent and leader of Demon Lord Hu Yu. Zhang Huang's actions inevitably required Zhang Xuezhou's approval in order to persuade others.

I think it's good!

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement, while Zhang Hao, standing to the side, shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"I have a piece of spirit jade and a piece of magic stone here. If you can persuade him to transform the mountain into spirit jade and the magic stone in the same way, I think this will be the beginning of a relationship built on trust!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt his pocket and took out the two special materials he had originally used for sneaking around and picking up bargains.

He handed the materials to Zhang Huang, while Zhang Hao let out a heavy sigh, sensing that Zhang Xuezhou was employing a game-theoretic tactic.

If this matter succeeds, it will be a win-win situation; if it fails, it will extinguish Zhang Huang's interest and prevent him from having other ideas or causing problems through private actions.

What interests Zhang Hao is whether Zhang Xuezhou can gain enough confidence through this transformation.

"If things go smoothly, I'll talk to him face-to-face!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder, and Zhang Huang nodded emphatically, his face beaming with joy.

In this exchange, Zhang Xuezhou didn't even inquire about the unrelated consequences of tiger feathers and feathers, clearly indicating his preference for reaching an agreement through association.

He happily accepted the spirit jade and magic stone, and then had Zhang Hao mutter "fool" under his breath. Zhang Huang didn't care about Zhang Hao's way of addressing him; he just wanted to reach an agreement as much as possible so that everyone could go their separate ways and not interfere with each other. Qin Meng had been peaceful for a hundred years in the past, and it was not impossible for it to be peaceful for another hundred years. Once Hu Yu ascended to a higher dimension and left, there would be no more conflicts among them.

"Take it easy, don't lose your life!"

Zhang Hao patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder.

Zhang Xuezhou had communicated with him, needing him to bring Ren Anran back, and Zhang Hao had no objections.

If he can safely reach the Yin-Yang Secret Land, he can either cultivate the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture accelerate the formation of his Yang Soul Body, or condense his Yang Soul Body through Zhang Xuezhou, and also get a taste of the current excitement in the Three Realms.

If given the chance to reclaim his physical body, Zhang Hao felt he wouldn't hesitate at all.

If all goes well, this can be considered his farewell to Zhang Huang.

To be honest, Zhang Hao felt that Zhang Huang's character was somewhat old-fashioned and conservative, but his strength was something that even he envied.

Zhang Huang's strength was not as great as that of the great cultivators of the Three Realms, but he possessed extremely advanced combat instincts, and his physical combat reactions were very similar to those of Xing Tian and others from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

This is not only an ultimate skill, but also a skill that most cultivators seek but cannot attain.

If there is a possibility of upward cultivation, Zhang Huang would be the most favored warrior-type cultivator among the leaders of many forces.

"If Turcorando unifies the Thousand Islands Alliance, Zhouzi uses her as a sacrifice, I'll definitely be able to save my life if I get even a tiny bit of luck involved!"

"This guy isn't stupid!"

Zhang Huang's earnest response left Zhang Hao speechless. He glanced at Zhang Huang, then at Zhang Xuezhou, and finally pointed at Zhang Huang and made a sarcastic remark.

"I may be doing my job, but I'm not stupid enough to risk my life. I finally have a physical body, and I want to live as long as possible!"

Zhang Huang muttered a few words.

He desires world peace, but Zhang Huang will not recklessly risk everyone's lives.

Ideally, Tiger Feather and Feather should be related, and a mutually reassuring agreement should be reached.

If they were to feign compliance, Zhang Huang wouldn't be foolish enough to assist Demon Lord Hu Yu in wiping everyone out in one fell swoop.
