Chapter 593

Fengxi sighed, humans are bewildered.

Nüwa was appointing commanders and generals; eight leaders, all have problems!

Let's not talk about anything else; just pick out that Li Lu to discuss.

This capable individual, back when the human race's sovereign was still Fuxi, openly showed his face, took part in human endeavors, and even received Paoxi's commendation, being awarded an official post and honor——

"Li Lu, you hold the position of Water Dragon, nurture vegetation, open springs, never miss the season, do not be negligent."

Li Lu, from then on he gained another alias—Water Dragon!

To be able to, under Fuxi's fierce eyes, become the leader of the human race's agriculture and waterworks at that time, the founder of waterworks... counting on his fingers, Fengxi thinks he's very suspicious!

For a moment, Fengxi's hands itched, wanting to secretly slip a report to Nüwa, detailing that Li Lu this guy, pointing out he's absolutely not a good person.

——This is absolutely not retaliation, not the fact that back then he was clearly one of the ten great Wu talents, yet there were nine Actors, and these nine Actors even set up his sole pure and upright sincere gentleman as captain, putting him over the fire as a retort!

——Absolutely not!

——He, Fengxi, is of high integrity and upright conscience, bearing the responsibility for the human conscience, how could he be a petty person full of evil thoughts?

——It's entirely out of concern for Nüwa's safety!

As a subordinate, Fengxi worried himself sick for Nüwa.

The world is very dangerous, there are simply too many bad people.

This water is too deep; Fengxi fears Nüwa cannot hold on, bringing disaster upon herself.

"Li Lu, the suspects are just two or three, each one is not a pushover."

Fengxi counted on his fingers, combining many exclusive pieces of information; many secrets aren't secrets to him, "If it were the goddess at her peak, it would be fine, no need to worry."

"But she is now weak, exactly when she needs care, thus it's dangerous."

"Just one Li Lu is like this, what about the rest?"

Fengxi let out a long sigh, looking at the list Yinglong passed to him, his head feeling a bit big.

Jun

It's just a single character, yet it makes Fengxi's teeth ache.

Because, this reminds him of a certain big shot, someone whom even if Fengxi currently has human Dao support, he would still find hard to provoke.

"Hongjun ah!"

Fengxi worriedly rubbed his brow, "Please, please don't let it be him..."

"But, it seems like it being him might also be okay?" Fengxi mused, "Even if Tuba's main force is banned, even if some bits and pieces seep out, they still can't become a force that can sway the battle situation?"

"If that's the case, perhaps it could still be considered good news."

He pondered and thought, drawing a circle around Jun's name.

Pathetic.

Regrettable.

Former teammates who once fought side by side, jointly resisting the ancestral Wu clan's special training, now have gone their separate ways, scheming against each other.

The genuine feelings between people have long since vanished.

"Da Rong... this was also one of the black hands that screwed me over back then."

Fengxi flipped through his little notebook, past events vivid before his eyes; his impression of Da Rong instantly became clear, yet at the same time also blurred.

"This Da Rong... is quite low-key, huh?"

Comparing with the Wu Clan's internal information, examining this existence of Da Rong, Fengxi immediately felt it was troublesome.

This is a marvelous person.

In the Wu Clan, missions are assigned; he always completes them, each time just scraping by the passing line.

If one were to say, this still isn't anything.

Then, add a premise—no matter how difficult the mission!

Just this alone is already very frightening.

What's even more frightening is that such a "special" "talent" behaves in daily life extremely low-key, blending with the dust, non-contentious, non-competitive, like an invisible nobody.

If not deliberately paying attention, one might easily overlook him with a moment's inattention.

Existing yet obscure, it is as mysterious as the lofty and vast Heavenly Dao.

"Currently, Da Rong has established himself in the Kong Tong land, studying the stars, compiling calendars, living a comfortable life..." Fengxi put down a file, "Tsk, good thing it's not Kongdong."

"It's just that this star stuff is quite taboo, making it hard for people not to have some special associations!"

Fengxi let out a light sigh, scribbling and drawing, marking a one or two next to Da Rong's name.

There are issues, but they don't seem too serious.

And if one were to say, the above constitutes a list of suspects.

Then the next person is practically wearing a sign on their forehead that says, "I have problems, come investigate me!"

"Qiongsang!"

Fengxi would occasionally lower his head to look at the list, then raise his head to look at the sun star, repeatedly.

"If it weren't for someone deliberately impersonating."

"Then this big brother... simply can't be bothered to disguise himself!"

Fengxi let out a long breath.

"The behind-the-scenes black hand secretly operating the Dong Yi White Emperor lineage... the fundamental important territory directly under the Sun lineage..."

"This is all inseparable from Qiongsang!"

"I just don't know who exactly is responsible."

Fengxi rubbed his eyes, feeling a bit tired, "Others having problems, the madam not knowing, is understandable."

"If there were no precautions at all... that would be inexplicable."

So, what was Her Majesty Nüwa thinking, appointing such a person as one of the leaders of the Human King Eight Guard? He paced, brows furrowed, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's fine; but once something unexpected occurs, it's destined for heaven and earth to shatter!"

Being killed in a pit is bad enough, but I fear they'll also trample on the grave, packing the soil!

I can't figure it out.

Headache.

Fengxi rubbed his brow, feeling weary and powerless.

Over these years, for worrying about solving the Slay Witch Sword and establishing the Human Honor View, he has exhausted himself.

Besides this, Fengxi must build the Cloud Master system, create an underground intelligence organization, cooperate with the Responding Dragon, one light one dark, to grasp the Dragon Clan's influence, so as to eradicate it in one sweep and restore order.

These two tasks are huge projects; so far, there's still a long way to go before completion.

Just at this critical juncture, Nüwa made a big move, planting problematic people around herself, making Fengxi feel like vomiting blood.

Her Majesty isn't stupid, is she? How could she make such a decision?

Fengxi sighed deeply.

At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to read the files of the remaining four commanders, since there's no need.

What Boyang, Yuchen, Qingxuan, Zixiu……

Don't mention Zixiu.

Boyang, Yuchen, Qingxuan…… these three are definitely linked to the Dao Sect's Three Great Heavenly Lords!

And when it comes to the Dao Sect?

The Five Fortunes Dao Lord Alliance has something to say.

In the restructuring and subscription of Reincarnation Shares, the Dao Sect bore a large part of the shady work!

Rebels!

At least they're insiders!

Thus, the most absurd and ridiculous scene appeared.

For the East Patrol, Nüwa established the Human King Eight Guard, which at least has five problematic individuals, and the rest may not be free of trouble either!

What kind of operation is this?

Fengxi said he didn't understand any of it.

"So, the choices before me are……" Fengxi muttered anxiously, "Should I warn Her Majesty, or not?"

"As a talent personally promoted by Her Majesty Nüwa, even without speaking of loyalty, just based on contract spirit, I cannot stand by and watch her fall into a desperate situation."

"But although petty reports are easy to file, a careless mistake could harm our own, even dragging the Three Pure Ones into a pit."

"I'm having a hard time!"

Fengxi hesitated and vacillated for a long time, finally sighed, wrote a vague report to Nüwa, marking several bad actors, advising her to proceed with caution.

But the reply he finally received surprised Fengxi somewhat.

"……I already know everything."

"Everything has long been arranged, all under control!"

After stripping away the formalities and distilling the essence, Fengxi was astonished.

He fell silent for a moment, deep in thought.

"Is this…… fishing?"

"Whose fish are we catching?"

"Fishing for law enforcement, luring people into pits……"

"Tsk…… Her Majesty isn't simple either!"

"That puts my mind at ease."

Fengxi calmed his restless heart, quietly crouched in the southern mountains and rivers of Honghuang, awaiting a good show.

——Nüwa Guide returns to the martial world, after East Splendor's burp, once again contends for the world!

Abroad, hostile eyes watch; within, the feudal lord Dragon Ancestor challenges the central authority, and in the heartlands many corrupt ministers lurk…… In times of turmoil, let us see how the emperor Nüwa, with wisdom and valor, can turn the tide and achieve a victorious breakthrough!

However, amidst waiting and anticipation, Fengxi also harbors some hidden worries.

"Her Majesty Nüwa gathers all members she deems problematic in one place, observing and handling them through an East Patrol…… Only amid great change does true nature show, pointing straight to the heart."

"This is not a bad plan."

"But…… what if, what if!"

"What if she capsizes?"

"Then the fun would be huge!"

……

As time passes, the deadline for the East Patrol approaches; this explosive news spreads completely, dropping a meteorite into the already turbulent age, causing heaven and earth to clamor.

Naturally, on the surface, this grand East Patrol operation cannot take on too ferocious an appearance——although Nüwa and the Dragon Ancestor now mutually loathe each other, their superficial accord still needs to be maintained.

Like the Human Race aspect.

"The banner raised for the East Patrol is not about punishing the disloyal or ancient traditions, but consolation!"

"Consoling the various clans along the East Patrol route, thanking them for their great contributions to the Human Race cause over the years."

"Going this way consoling all the way, even to the Dragon Clan…… it's still consolation!"

"They're friends of the peoples!"

"Of course we must console!"

"Moreover, while consoling, to transmit excellent military technology and war concepts…… holding a harmonious and friendly drill with the Dragon Clan's friends is also reasonable, right?!"

"Likewise."

In order to be able to conduct the military exercise perfectly, I, the human race's heir apparent, future sovereign, leading a large army on an expedition, is also logical, Right?!

This set of excuses

No matter whether outsiders believe it or not, the human high-ups have already believed it!

Thus, at the human ancestral court, the Eight Guards of the Human King assembled, golden spears and iron horses, their aura swallowing the star sea.

The killing intent was infinite, piercing heaven and earth, guarding the central carriage—that was the girl's throne.

In response, the Dragon Clan's diplomatic officials nodded in agreement, saying, "The elder brother doesn't mock the younger brother—same goes for me!"

To give the next human emperor the most thorough experience, they decided to unleash all their resources—the four seas in turmoil, true dragons roaring, wild beasts howling… it's all basic stuff, don't show off!

The reasonable human race, and the Dragon Clan that's all basic ops, aside from maintaining their defenses against the Heavenly Court, can be said to have pulled out all stops, staging a century‑grand military review.

This shocked many spectator Grand Luos.

They discussed enthusiastically, wondering what the true cause was behind the sudden clash of weapons between the human and dragon races.

Could it be because of that rumor spreading across the world?

Could it actually be true?!

"Imperial Elder Brother, you're amazing!"

In the Heavenly Court, Taiyi met Di Jun and praised him with utmost admiration.

"Without spending a single soldier, just a few words, I caused the Wu Clan to fall into internal strife, attacking each other…"

"Such ability is rare throughout past, present, and future, isn't it?"

Taiyi lavished praise.

Di Jun, however, covered his face with his hand.

This left Taiyi bewildered, "Elder brother, what's wrong?"

"Stop praising me, I still need to keep face." Di Jun replied, then lowered his hand, his face showing little joy, instead looking very solemn: "Don't get too happy too soon."

"This matter is not simple."

"I spread those rumors, but it was just an unintentional planting of willows… now the willows have grown into shade, yet the reason remains unclear."

"This is not good."

"It represents some very important factors we are unaware of—a blind spot!"

"Under this blind spot, is what we see really the truth?"

"Not necessarily!"

Di Jun rose and paced, his expression solemn: "Perhaps what lies beneath the surface is something entirely different from what appears."

"We can't be too happy too soon… otherwise, we might be played by the human and dragon races joining forces."

Di Jun judged others by himself, intuiting that things weren't that simple.

"Elder brother, you mean… they're fishing?!" Taiyi bared his teeth, feeling the world too treacherous, with too many old schemers.

"Maybe… that's my guess." Di Jun curled his lips, "Anyway, I don't really believe my luck could be so smooth as to easily sow discord in the enemy."

"Although the information fed back by my intelligence network—detecting internal turmoil in the Wu Clan—such as a girl seeking to establish central authority, or the Dragon Ancestor's wings hardening to challenge the center… etc., all seem to serve as circumstantial evidence for what's happening now."

"But!"

"Back then I was engaged in analyzing the dispositions of various gods, and my understanding of some like‑minded individuals happened to be quite deep."

"Especially certain key figures… like Nüwa."

Di Jun smiled, "Her current conduct is somewhat out of line—true and false mixed—making me quite suspicious."

"Then… how should we respond?"

Taiyi became solemn.

"Just do our own things." Di Jun shook his head with a wry smile, "Whether the Wu Clan is truly in internal turmoil or secretly fishing, it doesn't matter."

"We'll directly strike at the Wu Clan's vital point—attack and they must come to the rescue!"

"Reincarnation!"

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes shone with divine light, uttering the two characters slowly, one by one.

Reincarnation!

"Reincarnation… haven't we already taken action?" Taiyi wondered.

"It's true we've acted… but once isn't enough." Di Jun burst into laughter, "We need to do it several more times, abolishing Houtu's authority in the netherworld, which would best serve the interests of the Heavenly Court."

"If the netherworld is abolished, the Wu Clan will be like losing an arm!"
