Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 899 - 899 87 Yan Yus Divine Sense Splitting

Chapter 899: Chapter 87: Yan Yu’s Divine Sense Splitting Chapter 899: Chapter 87: Yan Yu’s Divine Sense Splitting “The recent conflicts both domestic and international seem to be on the rise,” Yan Yu flipped through the deck of cards in his hand.

“Could someone be stirring up trouble?” Li Zhaojiang played a pair, “Like realizing that we’re collectively aiming for the Golden Core, so they deliberately infiltrate to cause problems?”

“With the four major teams gone missing, external forces are bound to be suspicious,” Zhang Huaide followed suit with his cards, casually analyzing, “Demons, they can’t control; civilian cultivators, too scattered and not easy to incite, and they’d easily give themselves away if they act domestically; it’s the overseas Transcendents that would be their easiest targets.”

“Currently, it’s mainly the Southern Border that’s being stirred up,” Lord Master said, “With the Witch constraining the Northern Border, their attempts to subvert are unlikely to grow into anything substantial.”

“How about we take out the Witch King again?” Li Zhaojiang suggested.

“Taking out the Witch King wouldn’t help,” Zhang Huaide said, “The entire Southern Border doesn’t really operate like a secular nation; it’s more like a large gang that lacks rules for cohesion, inevitably full of various factions competing for power. The Witch King’s faction is currently the closest to Lu Country. Removing him would immediately thrust the entire Southern Border into an uncontrollable abyss…”

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Longtao’s phone rang. He carefully looked at the screen, and his expression immediately turned solemn.

“The Witch King has been mysteriously killed.” After replying to the message, Lord Master showed an expression of wistful lamentation as if saying “Speak of the devil and he shall appear,” and whispered, “The one who acted was his nephew, Nan Pan.”

Everyone heard this and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. The land governed by Transcendents was like the lion prides of the African savannahs, with no real succession system in place. As soon as an old lion could no longer keep up his strength, he would immediately be replaced by new lions.

“What’s Nan Pan’s attitude towards Lu Country?” Zhang Huaide asked directly.

“Hawkish,” Liu Longtao replied succinctly.

Hawkish didn’t mean a tough stance towards Lu Country but rather that this person acted dominantly, advocating the law of the jungle, not someone with whom one could negotiate peacefully.

“What’s the word from above?” Yan Yu asked.

“Hold off,” Liu Longtao replied, “and see if we can delay until our Core Formation.”

“We can’t delay that long,” Zhang Huaide quickly finished the game and continued to analyze, “We’ll inevitably reveal our strength when we take turns pacifying unrest all over the country. The opposition will probably make their move before our Core Formation. But stalling is the right strategy, even if we use the tactic of decapitation, we can’t ensure that the next Witch King won’t be another Nan Pan. It’s most fundamental to enhance our own strength as soon as possible.”

“That’s right,” Li Zhaojiang suddenly exclaimed, “Damn, Zhang, how many times have you won? Are you the Gambling God or what?”

“Just good luck,” Zhang Huaide lightly touched his glasses, boasting, “You flatter me.”

“I’m done playing,” Li Zhaojiang got up and threw down his cards, “If the third Witch King comes to seize territory, Zhang and I will surely have to fight. We need to inform the team immediately.”

“I’ve already informed them,” Zhang Huaide said.

“Weren’t you playing cards with us?”

“Mobile phone.”

The two walked away shoulder to shoulder. Yan Yu glanced at Lord Master and then heard Liu Longtao chuckle:

“Old Yan, you’ll have to go too when the time comes. We’ll hold down the fort domestically.”

To deal with the Southern Border’s army, deploying two top-tier teams would be sufficient. But the Zhenhai Team was one thing; the Sword Holder was another. If the opponent brought out their “Orochi,” then it would be time for the Sun True Dullness Sword Intent to take the stage.

“Ah, what a hassle,” Yan Yu got up, complaining, “Why did the Witch King have to die so soon?”

“Those who ascend to power through cunning and strategy inevitably neglect their cultivation,” Liu Longtao pointedly said, “Relying on nothing external is the true Righteous Path. We should take this as a lesson.”

Yan Yu understood the implied meaning in Lord Master’s words: cunning and strategy were parts external to one’s own strength. Wasn’t Sun True Dullness Sword Intent also the same? If one relied on the status of a Sword Holder and neglected actual strength cultivation, eventually one would suffer the consequences.

“Heh heh,” Yan Yu laughed out loud, “If you think all I do with them is whisper sweet nothings, just pure romance, then you’d be mistaken.”

“If it’s not about romance, what could it be?” Liu Longtao asked, surprised, “Could it be you have a system that rewards you with cultivation experience for every lover you find? Or that if you don’t cause an Asura-like battlefield, you’ll be forcibly eradicated?”

Ha ha, you’re mistaken. In truth, I’m actually helping them with their cultivation…

Of course, this was something he couldn’t say out loud, so Yan Yu simply responded with a smile:

“I have my own difficulties.”

“Sure, sure,” Liu Longtao replied earnestly, “I understand. There’s no need to spell it out for me. And if you need to leave a will, you can hand it over to me; I’ll keep it safe for you.”

“Get lost!”

Yan Yu returned to the team’s meeting room, the carefree expression on his face finally collapsing, thinking that this matter was a bit troublesome.

Witch King Nan Pan, in his previous life, invaded Lu Country shortly after Li Minghu’s Core Formation. Although he eventually contributed to the Valkyrie’s renown, it also led to the Qing’an Team’s downfall, and his successor, Xie Ruoxi, was a completely discordant character… In short, the overall combat power was on a steady decline, completely unable to stem the tide.

As for the current timeline, Yan Yu shared the same view as Zhang Huaide; the Witch King Nan Pan would definitely launch an invasion against Lu Country under the instigation of external forces, with the aim of disrupting the cultivators of Lu Country’s Core Formation.

Before then, everyone would cultivate as much as they could.

“Why hasn’t everyone arrived?” After having gathered the girls and waiting for a while, Yan Yu suddenly turned to Lin Ning and asked, “Where are Ling Yun and Sister Zhao?”

“Ling Yun took a leave without giving a reason,” Lin Ning said, “Sister Zhao seems to have gone to do a private job.”
