Chapter 1050: Chapter 701: The Plan Begins

The Priestess of Spring concentrated all her attention on the inn, believing that the remaining two girls would surely make a move.

For this reason, she deployed a large number of experts to lurk around the inn. At the same time, several patrol teams from the outer city were inspecting the nearby streets.

However, until the sky turned from dark to light and dawn was upon them, the Priestess of Spring had not seen any sign of them.

"What exactly are they trying to do?" the Priestess of Spring frowned, this indeed exceeded her expectations.

As the Expeditionary Army of Great Tang drew closer, the hostility of the people of Xuan City towards the Great Tang Protectorate became increasingly obvious. The citizens of Xuan City, with their steadfast beliefs, were bound to fight a decisive battle with the Great Tang forces to protect the city that had sheltered their ancestors for generations!

Although Great Tang claimed to be crusading against the aliens, the people of Xuan City and the various nations clearly didn’t believe it.

The Priestess of Spring, however, knew what it really meant—the Great Tang Protectorate had discovered the Bottom Nest and the existence of the Insect God!

This was Xuan City’s highest-level secret, and also the most unacceptable one.

The Priestess of Spring’s concern was that the truth about the Bottom Nest would become known to the public, which is why she kept an eye on those two girls.

At the same time, she also strengthened the defenses of the Bottom Nest. If necessary, she would mercilessly silence anyone.

So, the other party just slept quietly through the night? They neither spread the truth about the Bottom Nest nor investigated the situation.

Did they really just peacefully spend the time?

Impossible, what detail had she overlooked? The Priestess of Spring furrowed her brows. The feeling of unease in her heart grew stronger.

At this moment, she was unaware that the soldiers from the Great Tang Protectorate in the inn were also in a state of full readiness. The armored warriors were all suited up, ready to activate their steam engines.

The Auxiliary Army personnel did not part with their weapons, keeping a close watch on all the exits.

In her room, Qiu Wentian, too, embraced the same attitude, cleaning her flexible sword.

By her side was Chen Yu, using his sequential skills to influence the dreams of the citizens of Xuan City.

To ensure the safety of her teammates and the infallibility of their plan,

Qiu Wentian stayed up the whole night guarding Chen Yu, cleaning her sword the entire time.

For Qiu Wentian, it was an extremely long night.

Li Changhe and Xiao Nan were confined in the inner city, and Chen Yu, using his sequential skills, had essentially become defenseless physically.

All the pressure had thus come upon Qiu Wentian.

In the night, she keenly felt the presence of hundreds of formidable individuals appearing around the inn, the rooftops, and the courtyards, their presence flitting by.

Those were the Royal Guard of Xuan City, the queen’s most elite troops, warriors perfected with various attributes enhanced after being baptized by the Insect God’s True Blood.

Under normal circumstances, Qiu Wentian naturally wouldn’t fear them. Just like Li Changhe said, despite Qiu Wentian being a pretty young girl, on the battlefield she was a feared old killer.

In the missions of Great Tang, she alone had killed more than a dozen Chaos Warriors, and even cut down a warship. What sort of storms hadn’t she weathered?

While the perfect warriors might be troublesome, Qiu Wentian believed she could fight her way through them if it came to it.

However, to protect the utterly defenseless Chen Yu during a siege, even Qiu Wentian felt the pressure.

This was, after all, Xuan City; no matter how strong she was, she couldn’t fight off an endless stream of enemies.

Fortunately, the night passed without incident. The opposition had not launched any attack.

Seeing Chen Yu open his eyes, stretching lazily and greeting her, those enviable curves swaying in front of her,

Qiu Wentian breathed a sigh of relief inside.

"Good morning, Xiaoqiu," greeted Chen Yu, his face full of fatigue.

"Good morning, it seems you have succeeded," Qiu Wentian said.

"Yes," Chen Yu responded with a smile.

Her Sequence Nightmare had already silently affected tens of thousands of people entering their dreams.

Without the Priestess of Spring even realizing it, she had already let tens of thousands of Xuan City residents in on the truth.

Of course, to make them believe all this, a violent catalyst was still needed.

"And let me be that catalyst," Qiu Wentian said as he looked at Chen Yu’s exhausted face. "But with such a huge consumption, can you still protect yourself?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly, then took out a piece of Sheepskin Paper from her embrace.

That was Li Changhe’s safeguard, still sealed with Chen Tianjiao’s full-strength strike.

Actually, it was originally intended by Chen Yu to help Li Changhe board the Ghost Train, specially sealed by her demigod brother.

As it turned out, Li Changhe, disguised as Chen Mazi, hijacked the Ghost Train. With the ancestral spirit Chiyou anchoring the defense, he surprisingly did not need to use the Sheepskin Paper.

Subsequently, when Li Changhe faced the Corpse God... it wasn’t tit for tat; it was a complete suppression. He smeared the Corpse God on the Black Great Wall and still didn’t get to use the Sheepskin Paper.

Now, this power was entrusted to Chen Yu as a safeguard.

It also compensated for Chen Yu’s output issue, as any enemy had to weigh whether they wanted to endure a full-scale strike from a demigod.

Looking at the lifelike red lotus on the Sheepskin Paper, Qiu Wentian raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I shall return soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fluctuation of space shimmered over Qiu Wentian, who had already put on his black cloak and slung that huge and Abnormal sword case behind his back.

Muttering to himself, "Women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!"

"Ha-ha-ha, I shall kill at will!"

And similar cliche phrases, he leaped out the window.

As Qiu Wentian left the inn, several figures darted out from the corners.

...

On the other hand, the Priestess of Spring received notification immediately.

Qiu Wentian had made no effort to conceal his intentions, appearing directly in the line of sight of the Royal Guards hiding nearby.

And disregard for the Royal Guards, he ran like crazy in a certain direction. Behind him, the Royal Guards closely followed.

"Can’t hold back anymore, huh? Good, follow him right away!" the Priestess of Spring immediately ordered. "Qiu, that shorty isn’t in the inn now. Go and unleash your power, capture that short-haired girl, and get information! I want to know exactly what they are planning!"

"Yes~ I’ve been waiting for this for a long time," the Priestess of Autumn said with a slight smile. "I’ll pry open her mouth nicely~"

With that, she turned and left with her subordinates.

The Priestess of Spring continued to inquire, "Where does that shorty plan to go?"

One of the Royal Guards made gestures on the map, analyzing, "Judging from that shorty’s route, she’s running straight towards the Peaceful Tavern."

"The Peaceful Tavern? What’s there?" The Priestess of Spring frowned. That was the most expensive and high-end tavern outside of Xuan City, usually the prime target for wealthy invitees. Aside from that, there should be no anomalies...

"The Peaceful Tavern... seems to have been booked by the people from Great Chen," a Royal Guard said. "After their son Jindeng died, they moved there to entertain invitees. Lately, it seems they have been trying to unite the various invitees to put pressure on the Protectorate of Great Tang."

The Priestess of Spring was taken aback, then her face turned instantly pale.

Pieces of the puzzle finally came together in her mind.

Bottom Nest, aliens, Protectorate of Great Tang, people from Great Chen... War soldiers, could it be they want to...

"Notify all teams, stop her! At all costs, stop her! Tell the people from Great Chen to leave Xuan City immediately, even if it means dying, don’t die in Xuan City! Hurry!" The Priestess of Spring shrieked, voice filled with panic.

(Is this plan still viable?)
