Chapter 760: Chapter 373: Gorgeous Man-Eating Flower (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch, Non-Me)_3

Scorpion was shocked upon hearing this.

After his earlier quarrel with Wuyan Hu, he had already begun to regret it, realizing he had been overly impulsive.

He initially planned to wait for a couple of days until Wuyan Hu cooled down before discussing things properly.

Unexpectedly, the other side suddenly launched a major move.

To proceed cautiously, Scorpion didn’t fully trust the rumors and instead sent a trusted aide to the old camp to investigate.

The news this aide brought back made Scorpion break out in a cold sweat.

The aide reported that he saw with his own eyes the young princess of the Heshan Tribe, Yun Zhu, being treated as a distinguished guest by Wuyan Hu—fed delicacies and treated with courtesy, the two chatting and laughing convivially.

Scorpion was stunned.

Before he could gather his thoughts, another subordinate hurriedly reported that Lei Tian’s forces were advancing toward the old camp.

A moment later, yet another subordinate informed him that traces of Heshan Tribe soldiers had been found near Seedless Slope, seemingly preparing for an ambush.

As one bad piece of news followed another, Scorpion could no longer contain his fury and finally confirmed that Wuyan Hu—the bastard—had colluded with outsiders and intended to turn on him, his former "big brother."

But the more enraged Scorpion became, the calmer he grew.

He deliberately created the illusion of sending troops to attack the old camp, making the new camp appear vulnerable in an attempt to lure the ambushing Heshan Tribe soldiers out.

Sure enough, his plan worked.

Clan Leader Arhun, seeing Scorpion’s large army leaving, assumed they were heading to support the old camp. He then led the Heshan Tribe forces into the camp.

But the moment they charged through the gates, they were completely surrounded instead.

Scorpion had set an ambush for them.

Both sides were instantly locked in fierce combat.

Meanwhile, Wuyan Hu was preparing to lead his forces to attack the Clan Leader’s group mentioned in the intelligence but had barely left the old camp when Lei Tian’s massive battalion came rumbling toward him.

Wuyan Hu was dumbfounded.

The opposing forces were aiming to attack the new camp, and Wuyan Hu, worried about Scorpion’s safety, urgently marched his soldiers toward the new camp.

Upon arrival, he found the camp engulfed in the sounds of fierce fighting.

Tormented with worry, Wuyan Hu shouted, "Big Brother, I’m here to help you!"

Scorpion, who was valiantly commanding his troops in battle, saw Wuyan Hu leading his soldiers menacingly toward the camp gates, looking as if he were prepared to assault the camp instead. His eyes turned red.

Help me?

More like you’ve come to send me to the underworld.

Scorpion couldn’t be bothered listening to Wuyan Hu’s shouts and immediately deployed another troop to charge at Wuyan Hu’s forces.

Lei Tian, who had pursued all the way there, was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

No matter—kill now, ask questions later.

Thus, everyone was thrown into a bizarre and chaotic brawl. Some people didn’t even know who they were supposed to be fighting, hacking and slashing indiscriminately with their blades.

Meanwhile, outside Lei Tian’s camp, yet another army quietly appeared.

——

Back in the room, Jiang Shouzhong remained silent without saying a word.

Xiao Lingqiu, understanding that he might be upset about being left out of the plan, patiently explained:

"The Heshan Tribe collaborating with desert bandits like Lei Tian is akin to inviting a wolf into the house. My only goal was to pit Lei Tian and Scorpion against each other, making them fight to their mutual destruction.

In this way, the Heshan Tribe can seize the advantage early and reap the spoils of war. Plus, Yun Zhu and Liao Feihu, that ill-fated pair of lovers, can finally have a happy ending."

"Will they really end up fighting?" Jiang Shouzhong expressed his skepticism.

Xiao Lingqiu tilted her delicate face slightly upward, squinting at the faintly glowing sun, and replied with a smile, "Who knows? Anyway, the trap’s been laid—whether they fall in or not is up to them."

The woman then lowered her head and softly murmured in words audible only to herself:

"If everything goes as planned, the Clan Leader should be dead soon. Next, it’s time to support a new puppet."

Xiao Lingqiu’s intentions were simple.

Eliminate Scorpion, crush Lei Tian, and gain control over the Heshan Tribe.

She sought to implode Scorpion through internal conflict, weaken Lei Tian’s forces, and lure the old Clan Leader to his death, paving the way to install a new puppet leader.

Jiang Shouzhong gazed at the woman’s delicate, jade-like profile, feeling slightly dazed.

For some reason, he suddenly found this woman terrifying.

She was like a dazzling, carnivorous flower.

Unnoticed and unstoppable, she stripped others bare and devoured them whole.
