Chapter 2852: Who is next?

He Lingchuan's question interrupted his train of thought:

"Big brother, what should we do next?"

He Lingchuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, seeing their eagerness to try.

From the time they encountered the demon invasion until now, prolonged battle had left everyone exhausted, but with the Nine Abysses Great Emperor here, their spirits remained high.

An excellent leader is not merely strong in himself.

"I want you to continue guarding the Panlong Secret Realm." Because He Lingchuan's battle in the Land of Dreams was unusually short, he returned to reality and could actively prepare for the next fight, "You must buy me a little more time; I must first deal with Bai Zhan Tian and Tong Ming Zhenjun."

Choosing the lesser of two evils. Although the Earth Mother Plains have two great demons, while the Panlong Secret Realm has only one, He Lingchuan still decided to leave Jia Luo Tian for last.

Those two out there, he is more familiar with.

Moreover, although these three are all so-called "True Gods," their strength actually differs greatly, especially the higher the rank, the greater the disparity.

Jia Luo Tian's strength has long ranked among the foremost True Gods of the Ling Xu crowd. He Lingchuan believes leaving Him for last is better.

He Yue exclaimed: "You alone against two great demons?"

He knows his brother's strength surpasses mortal imagination, but what kind of existence is a great demon?

He Yue dares not imagine that any living person in this world could be a match for a great demon, yet his brother actually wants to duel two?

"Plus the Earth Mother." He Lingchuan lifted his chin toward the little stone man. The latter spread his five fingers, hooking index finger and thumb together:

"Let's go!"

It returned to reality with anger, intending to settle accounts with the demons.

"Don't worry, we just killed the Sea Emperor Xuan Du."

When saying this, the Earth Mother felt a bit guilty, for strictly speaking, the Sea Emperor Xuan Du's downfall had no direct relation to itself. Moreover, at that time it was contained within the Wind Dew Golden Lotus, unaware of the specific battle process.

But the Nine Abysses told it so, and it had no reason not to believe.

Ming Ke Xianren and all the listeners spoke in unison:

"What!"

Ling Jinbao had just come down from the city wall, hearing this his foot slipped, nearly falling face-first into the mud:

"Who? That true immortal Sea Emperor?"

He and Ming Ke Xianren had both deeply participated in the Ling Yun Palace War, knowing well what grudge the Sea Emperor Xuan Du and the Nine Abysses Great Emperor had formed. Back then, hearing the Sea Emperor Xuan Du might pursue, the Earth Mother slipped away and ran faster than anyone.

Only three years have passed, how could the Emperor just slay a true immortal?

Never heard of anyone's cultivation advancing so rapidly! Ming Ke Xianren envied to the point of tears.

He Yue looked at this one, then that one, before exclaiming in surprise: "A true immortal?"

He had never heard of Xuan Du's great name. The Sea Emperor avoids the world, rarely leaving a name on land; only the great ones of Lingshan know of his existence.

Elder brother killed a true immortal? Just now?

He Lingchuan's tone remained so calm, as if they had just bought a fish from the market and returned.

"The Dream Realm of the Goddess of Illusory Music is also a trap; the Sea Emperor Xuan Du brought thirty-odd demons, guarding beside the Earth Mother, waiting for me." He Lingchuan glanced at the Earth Mother, who unconsciously scratched his head, recalling how he had beaten the Nine Abysses and Bao Chi Hai in the dream, feeling a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, He Lingchuan had no intention of bringing up the aftermath, instead saying, "Time is pressing, let's not mention this."

He Yue nodded, still frightened: "These demons are truly scheming to put you to death! Big brother always turns danger into safety, truly deserving of the title Child of Fortune."

Father constantly murmurs that big brother is a lucky omen, and indeed it is not without reason.

However, hearing of the Sea Emperor Xuan Du's death, everyone was further encouraged, spirits high.

Since the Emperor can slay the Sea Emperor, naturally he can also slay other great demons!

Morale greatly lifted, this is exactly the effect He Lingchuan wanted.

The radiance of divine abilities illuminated the night sky; He Yue glanced outside the wall and posed his question:

"Big brother, why has Jia Luo Tian not personally acted all this time?"

He also knows Jia Luo Tian is one of the most fearsome great demons among the Ling Xu crowd; if He had acted early, whether the Panlong Secret Realm could have held out until now is truly uncertain.

Yet He refuses to.

It is not that He completely stands aside. He also commands battles, He also uses his divine arts to empower his subordinates, but He simply does not personally descend to attack the Panlong city gate.

Why?

Are the demons not eager to take the secret realm and obtain the great cauldron?

"He is waiting for me." He Lingchuan adjusted his equipment while answering, "They began planning the invasion of the Earth Mother Plains long ago, the ultimate goal being to lure me alone to come. Henceforth, whether the demons' fortune is stronger or humanity's prevails, will be seen in this battle's outcome. Therefore, Jia Luo Tian, like me, must win and cannot afford to lose."

He spoke in the most matter-of-fact tone, uttering the cruelest truth.

This battle between the demons and the Nine Abysses directly concerns the fate of both realms. Once defeated, each side will feel suffocating pain.

"He wishes to retain all his strength to deal with me." He Lingchuan said coldly, "No, not only! He even uses the Order-Divine Glyph to continuously accumulate energy, until the moment I appear, then he will unleash full force!"

Although Jia Luo Tian did not personally act, on many summoned beasts and companions, he placed the Order-Divine Glyph, utilizing their battle-stored energy. As the omniscient master of the Secret Realm, He Lingchuan need not climb the city wall to discover that many demons behind have their triple-triangle markings already nearing cessation of operation.

This indicates their energy storage is full, approaching the critical point of explosion.

At this time, Jia Luo Tian withdraws them.

Heh, Jia Luo Tian truly values him, not the slightest bit negligent.

"But conversely, as long as I do not publicly appear, He will temporarily not act." He Lingchuan said word by word, "Even to urge you to hurry me along, He will intentionally slow the attack on the Panlong Secret Realm."

The more desperate the Panlong Secret Realm, the faster the Nine Abysses will come.

The worse the situation of the Cang Yan people, the more easily the Nine Abysses' plan will be disrupted.

The demons have studied the Nine Abysses Great Emperor for a long time, somewhat understanding his temperament, knowing that Panlong Ancient City and the Great Cauldron are his weak points, he will absolutely not abandon them.

Not fearing the enemy's strength, but fearing the enemy has no weakness.

"But this bit of time is precisely our golden window for individual breakthroughs." He Lingchuan remained calm, "Under the dual obstruction of the Secret Realm and the Earth Mother Plains, Jia Luo Tian will not obtain news of the Sea Emperor Xuan Du's downfall, otherwise he would certainly launch a full assault on the Panlong Secret Realm!"

After speaking, he opened the Pu Luo Wood Treasure Box, seeing it again bloom two white flowers, which he casually picked and swallowed.

Medicines that can repair soul injuries are too few; even a little is something.

"Let's go." He said to the Earth Mother, "We go to meet Bai Zhan Tian and Tong Ming Zhenjun."

The Earth Mother asked him: "Which one do you want to hit first?"

"Bai Zhan Tian."
