Chapter 827: The Fortune Teller's Warning - On the Eve of the War
"Besides the Yaochi League, over at the Qinglian League, that old fellow, the Raikage, was squatting there happily yesterday, looking even more content.
It's about the promise I made to you regarding the body of the Five Heavens God Thunder Lord, and the sooner it can be completed, the better;
They even said you were a rare genius, and that they were going to show off and win you over to the Wanjun League. Then they would let you and Yang Yongxin take over the leadership of the Wanjun League together...
So, there's no need to say more. I've already anticipated your concerns and have already taken appropriate measures to address them."
The fortune teller spoke very naturally, but after Mu Yu asked a series of questions, his puzzled expression had already turned into astonishment.
Especially when talking about the Qinglian Alliance and the Wanjun Alliance, he used a disdainful tone, as if he could destroy the other party without any carelessness and did not take them seriously at all.
Facts have proved that Mu Yu's guess was correct. Facing those opponents who are still at the second level of demigod, the fortune-teller who is about to enter the third level is indeed qualified to be rampant.
Is it difficult for just their lineage and their allies Mu Yu and Wan Jun League to wipe out the Yao Chi League and Qing Lian League, which have always had conflicts with each other?
"Senior, are you saying that you anticipated this even before I left?"
Before the surprise on Mu Yu's face disappeared, he saw the fortune teller take out a teleportation array identical to the one he had given him before, and muttered:
"What else? I've even prepared a teleportation array to the Azure Lotus Alliance. Once activated, I can directly rendezvous with that old Raikage.
You have to know that besides Tian Zhen and Tian Dong, the Yao Chi League also has that old guy from the Wan Jun League secretly supporting them. Let's quickly and decisively deal with Li Qing and Li Huo first, and then there will be basically no other resistance in the Tian Nu Sea."
"When the time comes, your sea area and my sea area will join forces, and we will be able to create a favorable situation in an instant. By then, I and the Wanjun Alliance will be busy with things here, and you can take care of the aftermath on your side with your confidants. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Mu Yu listened to the plan explained by the fortune teller and nodded in approval:
"What are you waiting for?
Without further ado, go to the Qinglian League and get rid of them!"
Unexpectedly, the fortune teller spread his hands and said helplessly:
"You're so naive, kid. Do you really think these forces in the Skywrath Sea can just go on a rampage and fight for no reason?"
"Many sea areas are under the jurisdiction of the Holy Emperor. Above us, the powerful people in the local sea areas, there are also Holy Envoys who openly control everything, just like the one that Old Monster Ku Rong offended."
“His strength is such that even if I advance to the fourth level of Demigod, I’m afraid I still won’t be his match.
Unless the enemy takes action first, we can only turn a blind eye and endure for the time being.
Otherwise, if we have to hold someone accountable at the last moment, I and those two old men from the Wanjun League cannot afford such a responsibility."
The fortune-teller's words and deeds showed his deep fear of the Holy Envoy. Mu Yu, after some inner reverie, agreed with him.
Indeed... even the eighth-level demigod old monster Ku Rong was helpless against the Holy Envoy, so how could the fortune-teller and his forces be caught in the act?
"But if my estimation is correct, since you have killed Li Qingci, the successor of the Blue Lotus Alliance, they will definitely seek revenge on you even with the Raikage in charge."
"As long as we can determine that this is a maritime dispute and convince the Holy Envoy on a reasonable level, there will be no problem."
The fortune teller had obviously thought of a way out in this regard and easily came up with a solution:
"It is reasonable to say that news related to the battle at the Pseudo-God Heavenly Palace has so far been circulated as news from the local sea area.
The Holy Envoy has been indifferent to the situation in the area over the years. However, just in case, these measures and the death of the demigod-level strongman will definitely cause a huge uproar. Then..."
The fortune teller hesitated to speak, but what he wanted to express was already very clear.
In this situation, Mu Yu broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of something that even the fortune teller didn't know... Damn it, the news that old monster Ku Rong died in the Tiannu Sea, it turned out that some people up there still didn't know about it.
When he accepted the inheritance of the Pseudo-God Heavenly Palace, Bu Linglong and the others thought that he was just lucky. But seeing that he failed to take the Pseudo-God Heavenly Palace away, they all thought that Mu Yu had failed and was not favored.
But Mu Yu himself understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The fortune teller and the others had guessed wrong. He... was indeed the legitimate heir of the Pseudo-God Heavenly Palace.
Although the authority is a bit unreliable, the recognition of the spirit of the weapon and the master is enough to explain everything.
If what the fortune-teller said was true, and the mortal enemy who was deliberately hunting down the old monster Ku Rong happened to be acquainted with the Holy Envoy of this sea area...
"Wait a moment……"
Mu Yu looked at the fortune teller and saw the result that he least wanted to know from the fortune teller's half-smile. Damn it... No wonder he reminded himself intentionally or unintentionally. Didn't the fortune teller know it a long time ago?
"Senior, did you remind me on purpose?"
Mu Yu smiled bitterly, feeling a little annoyed when he saw the other person couldn't help laughing.
The other party still looked cheerful and pretended to cough twice:
"That's not true, I'm just reminding you to be careful.
Anyway, the hidden dangers of the Qinglian League and Yaochi League will be resolved sooner or later. As for the Holy Envoy... we old guys will take care of it first, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Hey, Senior, why do you help me so many times? What is your real purpose?"
Mu Yu hesitated for a long time, but finally asked the question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. It seemed unreasonable... it was probably not just because of the substitute for the shepherd and the endgame chessboard, right?
"Boy, you're overthinking it. How can Linglong's life and the chessboard alone not be enough?"
The fortune teller patted Mu Yu's shoulder earnestly and said something meaningful:
“Anyway, if there are any problems now, we old guys are at the front to handle them;
When we can no longer hold on, it will be you young people who will be needed to continue fighting."
Without answering Mu Yu's doubts, the fortune-teller left those ambiguous words and then returned to his cheerful demeanor, bringing the topic back to the Qinglian League:
"Let's go. We've received news. Those two idiots from the Qinglian League couldn't help but take action right in your waters."
"So fast?"
Mu Yu was shocked. He never expected that while he was still hesitating and wondering what the riddle was, the battle on the first battlefield had already begun...
This time, the one who was at a loss for words was the fortune teller. He covered his forehead and said helplessly:
“It’s a bit beyond my expectation.
The battle hasn't even begun, but your confidants are already furious. Even before the black-robed warrior made a move, he was already shouting about how you killed Li Qingci.
"It's so detailed, including the cause, process, and outcome. Regardless of whether it's true or not, they'll smear Li Qingci as much as they can. Li Qingci has completely lost face..."
