Chapter 2568: Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Arrow

Mingke Xianren comforted it:

"That may not necessarily be a good opportunity either; there are two immortals stationed in Liuli Hai, and Duan He Yun is no pushover. Besides, if they send out a warning signal, Helu Tian will very likely close the Liuli Hai small world, and we won't be able to return."

Dong Rui also yawned: "Next time we want to enter Liuli Hai, even if we obtain this talisman, we will be closely watched by Helu Tian when passing through Yun Tai—it's very dangerous."

He Lingchuan stopped upon hearing this, thought seriously for a while, then said:

"I'm not afraid of Helu Tian closing the small world, as long as you're not inside."

Huh? What does that mean? Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They are currently staying in Doukou Garden, and Doukou Garden is hidden within He Lingchuan's body. What obstacle could there be?

But He Lingchuan didn't explain, only continued: "This trip to Liuli Hai wasn't in vain—the information gathered is very important. At least we've seen the true form of Yin Shenjun, and also observed the defensive forces in Liuli Hai."

Out of trust in him, Zhu Xiuer didn't press further, only changed the subject and asked him:

"You urged Duan He Yun to take A Lian out—are you trying to kill two birds with one stone, to capture both of them?"

A Lian is an exceptionally special divine descent vessel—not only perfect, but also possessing wisdom beyond ordinary people;

As for Duan He Yun, there's no need to say more—he is the soul figure of the entire divine descent plan; it's no exaggeration to say that half of the progress in divine descent vessel research is due to his contributions.

If we could abduct both of them, it would be a heavy blow to the Tianmo's divine descent plan. Moreover, once we leave Lingyun Palace, the chances of everyone succeeding and escaping would be quite high.

Zhu Xiuer understands all of the above. However, their objective in sneaking into Yanxia Wan this time seems to go beyond this.

Several people came toward them, all bowing to "Hu Guan Dai," He Lingchuan coldly nodded at them and brushed past.

After walking away, he then had leisure to say to everyone:

"Getting to the root of it, the greatest obstacle between us and our goal is Yun Tai and the small world. In other words, it is Helu Tian Shen."

"Helu Tian specially stationed this avatar in Lingyun Palace to guard its safety by controlling Yun Tai. If we don't sever its connection with Yun Tai, we will find it very hard to achieve our goal."

Everyone thought: that makes sense. All our current inconveniences in action stem from Yun Tai and the mutually isolated small worlds.

Once we cause a disturbance here, Helu Tian doesn't need to do anything else—just close Liuli Hai, and we won't be able to reach Yin Shenjun; close the passage to Yingkou Zhen, and we won't be able to return to the real world.

We have strength but nowhere to exert it.

"Due to the special nature of its divinity, it enjoys tremendous advantages here and can also receive immense support from Tiangong and other Tianmo. Therefore, the key to swiftly defeating it lies in making it lose the advantage of terrain!"

"Besides, don't forget that the talismans for passing through Liuli Hai total eight; we've only identified the owners of seven, and one remains unknown." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "This is a major hidden danger—we should try to avoid it as much as possible."

"Eh?" Dong Rui calculated on his fingers, "Two supervisors each have one, Duan He Yun and his wife each have one, Helu Tian, Mei Yin Shen, and Geng Yue Shen—these three Tianmo each have one, and the great fu yu in Liuli Hai has one—this adds up exactly to eight, doesn't it?"

"No. As the controller of Yun Tai, Helu Tian should be able to move freely between all small worlds—it fundamentally doesn't need a talisman." So-called restrictions are all set for others—how could they be used to hinder oneself? "Subtracting Helu Tian himself, there's still one vacancy."

But Hu Xin himself only occasionally heard from Duan He Yun that the talismans for entering Liuli Hai number eight, without knowing exactly who controls them.

Upon hearing his analysis, everyone was startled.

Is there a hidden owner?

Ling Jinbao asked: "What do you think—how likely is it that Duan He Yun will take A Lian out?"

"Not small. On one hand, the pressure from Helu Tian is great, and he has sworn on his chest to fulfill his promise to the Tian Shen; on the other hand, Duan He Yun's feelings for A Lian are relatively complex, so he should tend to compensate her." He Lingchuan said, "The trouble is, we don't know whether he will act tonight or wait a few days. If he wants to wait a few days before going out, it's unfavorable for us. After all, I'm not the real Hu Xin—he has dealt with too many people. The longer I stay here, the greater the exposure risk becomes."

Dong Rui suddenly realized: "No wonder you gave snacks to A Lian, always emphasizing how good and fun Baishsong City is. You actually want to use the little girl's greed to quickly force Duan He Yun to take her out."

"She is Duan He Yun's soft spot." He Lingchuan's eyes flashed with sharp light, "I want her to also become Helu Tian's soft spot!"

While speaking, he sent the Yun Che to the warehouse of Baiwan Mountain.

Liu Guan Shi was feeling dejected due to fleeing from the wine vat sea cart escape, thinking he had delayed the morning's yaoguai experiment and would surely be severely punished. As a result, Hu Guan Dai arrived with the substitute Hai Xing Star to save the situation—he was overjoyed, almost wanting to kneel and call old Hu 'father.'

Just then, uplifting news came from the terraced fields direction:

The escaped Hai Xing Star has been found!

The four Hai Xing Stars have spontaneously merged into a giant centipede weighing seven hundred jin—this creature has more legs than a centipede, is highly toxic, can run, escape, eat people, and is good at digging holes—no wonder earlier everyone nearly overturned Dashan but still couldn't find it.

Liu Guan Shi immediately bowed deeply to Hu Xin: "We all owe our fortune to Hu Guan Dai! Before this, several thousand people searched and couldn't find a single hair of the centipede, but Hu Guan Dai arrived—hey, it dug itself out and was caught in the paddy field!"

Hu Guan Dai smiled without speaking.

Although this Liu Guan Shi's flattery was loud and obsequious, he unintentionally spoke the truth. Regarding the escaped four Hai Xing Stars, this Hu Guan Dai before us indeed has a special tracking method. After all, this creature was originally released by him personally.

This midnight pursuit finally ended perfectly. The monster was netted, the laborers can go back to sleep, and the supervisors and clerks have reported upward—Hu Guan Dai is equally pleased.

He has corrected his own plan, no longer wishing to continue disturbing Lingyun Palace, so he hurried back to pacify and stabilize.

To bring Baiwan Mountain's project back on track is to eliminate the upper echelon's doubts. Only when Lingyun Palace is stable and secure can he proceed with his subsequent actions.

Anyway, whatever could be used has already been used.

He was about to leave when Liu Guan Shi came over again with a smiling face: "Hu Guan Dai, could you, could you stamp a permit for entering and exiting Lian Gu for me?"

Hu Guan Dai gave him a wary sideways glance: "Can't you stamp your own talisman?"

Liu Guan Shi, like Wang Guan Shi, also has a Lian Gu talisman, but is only allowed to stamp up to the outer edge of Lian Gu, with no authority to go deeper.
