Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1257 Lord of War

Just now, when the two sides were on the verge of fighting and decided to take action, Gu Feng actually ordered a retreat and gave them a day to consider!

Gu Feng demanded that they hand over Ye Qing, Lin Qianyu, and Yun Jin.

If they disagree, they will launch a full-scale invasion a day later.

This surprised everyone slightly.

Tianjue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Gu Feng is one of the strongest commanders in this universe. He may have some doubts, but it doesn't matter. When we decide to counterattack, the initiative—when to act and how to act—is on their side. However…"

"Moreover, we are at a disadvantage in such a large-scale battle. His war authority has too much of a boost on this army." Tianjue pondered and said, "If we want to fight this battle, we can only break it up and fight it separately, so their initiative is indeed very strong."

Xie Bi'an closed his folding fan and asked with a smile, "How about we launch a sneak attack?"

"No rush!" Tianjue said, "We need to invite them in and give them a good beating, make the Heavenly Court feel the pain!"

At this point, Tianjue narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

In the distance, aboard a massive flying machine, everyone took their seats. Emperor Taixu frowned and looked at Gu Feng, asking, "Why did you choose to retreat?"

Beside him, the Xuanhuang Emperor frowned and said, "Although Tianjue is strong, it is not impossible for the three of us to kill him today if we join forces."

Gu Feng shook his head and said, "Something's not right!"

"What do you mean?" Taixu asked thoughtfully.

“Actually, I thought about many things on the way here,” Gu Feng said. “Given Tian Jue’s abilities, it’s impossible that he didn’t receive this news. I thought he might choose to leave the Chaotic Star Sea with those little ones!”

"Haven't you thought about this?" Gu Feng asked.

Emperor Taixu nodded and said, "I think he was reluctant to give up the Chaotic Star Sea... After all, this place is still mysterious. The sudden battle in the Chaotic Star Sea back then was full of countless mysteries, and the resources of the entire Chaotic Star Sea are also quite terrifying."

"When I arrived here and saw him leading such a large group of people to resist, three possibilities came to mind!"

"The first possibility is that he has a reason to leave, such as, as you said, he found a place here that he can't bear to leave."

"The second possibility is that, judging from these people's reactions, Xie Bi'an and the others have all sided with Tian Jue. It's possible that Tian Jue has long harbored the ambition to overthrow the Heavenly Court. If he leaves, will he take these people with him? If he takes them, they will become too conspicuous. If he doesn't... it will be troublesome for him to rebuild such a lineup again!"

“A third possibility!” Gu Feng paused for a moment before continuing, “He has the ability to deal with us.”

“This third possibility is even the most likely,” Gu Feng said. “Tianjue probably knew we were going to attack, and he also knew the purpose of our attack. In fact, none of you understood one point from the beginning.”

“Qi sent us to attack the Chaotic Star Sea. I’ve calculated that his real purpose is to take over the Chaotic Star Sea. This place is one of the most mysterious places in the universe, controlled by Tianjue. In fact, Qi, like everyone else, is unwilling to accept this. He wants to use Ye Qing’s matter as a pretext to take over this place and force Tianjue to leave!” Gu Feng said!

As he spoke, Gu Feng pondered and said, "That's why I'm worried that this guy is quite confident. Don't forget, one of the Seven Secrets of the Universe, the 'Bridge,' is right here!"

“If he could have mastered the bridge, he would have done so long ago. Why would he have waited so long? I think you’re just being too paranoid,” Taixu said. “What are his trump cards, and why is he keeping it? We’ll find out in a fight.”

Gu Feng glanced at Tai Xu and said calmly, "Tai Xu, this is war, a true cosmic war. A rash battle could result in the deaths of many, many people on our side. I must be responsible for the civilizations behind these people. If even a Domain Lord or a Venerable dies, their entire civilization might collapse. That would involve countless lives!"

"Why do these words sound so strange coming from your mouth? Since the founding of the Heavenly Court, how much blood has been spilled on your hands, how many civilizations have you destroyed? And now you're saying such things?" Emperor Xuanhuang asked, looking puzzled.

"In short, enough talk. We need to spend a day sending some people with stealth abilities in to gather information. I don't believe they can be a united front in a chaotic place like the Chaotic Star Sea." At this point, Gu Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "Also, have them spread some news that if anyone is willing to surrender, the Heavenly Court can grant them a territory to allow their race to develop!"

"It will probably take quite a while for this news to spread!" Emperor Taixu said. "Didn't you say we'd make our move tomorrow?"

“Just because I say tomorrow, does it really mean tomorrow? Since they’ve chosen not to leave, they’re like fish in a barrel. When to make our move is up to us.” Gu Feng said, “This is also a form of psychological warfare!”

Taixu frowned and said, "Fine, I can trust you when it comes to fighting! I'll leave all command to you, and I'll just cooperate with you!"

Gu Feng nodded.

……

Ye Qing was naturally unaware of all the matters concerning the Chaotic Star Sea. At this moment, he was in the Yama King's Palace, his gaze fixed on Zhang Tianlin, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Once Zhang Tianlin is rescued, they can leave this place and return to the Chaotic Star Sea.

Zhang Tianlin took a deep breath and said, "For some reason, I am now trapped here by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. What you need to do is to help me suppress the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation as much as possible, and then I will completely refine this Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace."

"Damn it, I knew it! You got into this mess because you wanted the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace!" the big yellow dog said. "How about I make do and refine it myself?"

“You’re too weak right now,” Zhang Tianlin said.

The big yellow dog was speechless, then it pouted and said, "You think too highly of us if you want us to sever the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace!"

Zhang Tianlin shook his head and said, "Since I've said it, then I have a way!"
