Chapter 420

"I..." the youth's face turned livid.

Back then, when he learned of his master's seven grand strategies, he had even complained in his heart that his master was making a mountain out of a molehill.

After all, in his view, these nine Demon Kings alone were enough to kill Luo Tian a dozen times over.

But who could have imagined that before the fight even started, the nine Demon Kings would defect.

He racked his brains, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Hey, wake up, I'm talking to you! Is the first grand strategy broken?" Luo Tian asked.

"Yes!" the youth squeezed the word out from between his teeth.

"Oh, that's fine, what about the second grand strategy? Hurry up and start," Luo Tian said impatiently.

The youth closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and only managed to calm himself down with great difficulty, saying, "Fine, if that's the case, just you wait!"

As he spoke, he formed seals with both hands again.

Hum!

In an instant, dozens of pillars of light lit up.

"Huh? What's coming now?"

Seeing these pillars of light, everyone couldn't help but become curious.

The next instant, dozens of figures appeared before the youth.

"Everyone... huh?"

The youth was just about to bow to these figures when he suddenly froze.

Because he discovered that these people before him were all covered in wounds.

Some of them looked so severely injured they could barely stand.

"Palace Master, Commander... are you all okay?" the youth asked cautiously.

Yes, before him were none other than the Tianyang Guard Commander Qin Lin, Wuyou Xiangong Master Feng Litian, and Lei Wanjun of the Thunder Gate, along with other members of the three major factions.

These people were all at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, especially the three leaders, who were at the 9th Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, basically occupying half of the top combat power of the Tianyang Imperial Kingdom.

Of course, this was also the second grand strategy prepared by the Black Robe.

In the Black Robe's original plan, the nine great Demon Kings would lead the vanguard, and even if they couldn't kill Luo Tian, they would consume a portion of his strength.

At that time, letting Qin Lin and his fresh troops take action would be enough to pile up and kill Luo Tian.

But now, the first grand strategy had failed.

How could this second grand strategy also have an accident?

Could this group of wounded soldiers still fight?

"Wang Xichuan? Are you the one hosting the battle for the master?" Feng Litian looked at the youth and asked.

The youth's name was Wang Xichuan, and he was nominally a disciple of the Wuyou Xiangong.

However, in secret, he was the Black Robe's confidant, with a status no lower than Feng Litian's.

"That's right, Palace Master, your injuries..."

Feng Litian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, we encountered some accidents and suffered some minor injuries, it's no hindrance."

Wang Xichuan looked at the group suspiciously and said, "Really no hindrance?"

Lei Wanjun smiled and said, "Rest assured, although the injuries aren't light, they are enough to kill the enemy."

Wang Xichuan scratched his head and said, "But, three lords, I've run into a situation here."

"Huh? What situation?" Feng Litian asked.

Wang Xichuan gave a rough account of the previous defection of the nine great Demon Kings.

The three of them immediately frowned.

"Such a thing happened?" Feng Litian frowned.

"I said it before, those not of our race must have different hearts! These demon clans are unreliable!" Lei Wanjun snorted.

Qin Lin said coldly, "In my opinion, the defection of these demon beasts is actually a good thing!"

"Ah?" Wang Xichuan was puzzled.

Qin Lin said coldly, "I've long wanted to hunt the nine great Demon Kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Plains! I just never had the chance before, but today, it's perfect to kill Luo Tian and those nine beasts together!"

These words were truly heroic.

It left Wang Xichuan stunned.

"That... Commander Qin, the opponents are Demon Kings! Relying on you..." he asked with a worried face.

Qin Lin turned his head, looked at him, and said meaningfully, "If it were in the past, I might not have had the confidence! But after today's battle, I am completely different!"

"Different?" Wang Xichuan looked at him in surprise.

Qin Lin nodded and said, "That's right, today, I witnessed a god-like opponent! He allowed me to see the vastness of this world and opened up a broader world for me! The current me is completely different from before!"

Wang Xichuan looked puzzled.

Feng Litian interjected, "Well said, after broadening one's horizons, one's understanding of cultivation will also reach a higher level!"

"This..." Wang Xichuan was still puzzled.
