Chapter 2119: I, the King, call this 'draining the cauldron

Regarding Xu Jie's plan, all the attendants expressed concern, after all, a junior who only has Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, being among the beast horde.

If anything goes wrong, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

But compared to the attendants, Hong Zun, as Xu Jie's master, appeared quite calm at this time.

His gaze was plain, his face showing no trace of worry; after the attendants finished speaking, he then slowly opened his mouth and said.

"Rest assured, my disciple may have lower cultivation, and in a direct confrontation he would surely die, but in other aspects, that herd of beasts is no match for him at all."

How could a master not know his own disciple? Xu Jie is what kind of person, Hong Zun understands him better than anyone.

If it were a direct charge into the beast horde, a head-on Xuè zhàn, there might still be danger.

But as for this kind of scheming, Xu Jie probably hasn't lost yet.

Therefore Hong Zun has no worries at all; otherwise, after knowing this kid's plan from the start, he would not have failed to stop it.

Seeing Hong Zun full of confidence, it actually made the attendants present feel insecure.

Where does this master and disciple get their confidence?

Not to mention Xu Jie that brat, even you as his master, facing this situation, would probably be a narrow escape.

But Hong Zun also explained, so the attendants naturally had nothing more to say.

Since their master isn't worried, they're just overthinking pointlessly.

Thus, everyone boarded the immortal ship and returned to the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Meanwhile, among the beast horde, Xu Jie, who had transformed into that White Qilin, was imitating its original appearance, lazily lying by the lake feigning sleep.

His imitation was quite convincing; at least no beast spotted any problem.

Until that Immortal Beast cautiously stepped forward and softly called out.

"Your Majesty."

Hearing that, Xu Jie slowly opened his eyes, which were like bronze bells, and said.

"What is it."

"Your Majesty, the beast horde has basically gathered; when shall we move?"

"Just a tiny Dao One Immortal Sect, to be honest, the Wuji Shanmai beastfolk don't even take them seriously."

Gathering a horde of this scale, even lying flat could crush the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Now we only await Your Majesty's command, and they could wipe out the entire Dao One Immortal Sect in one fell swoop.

Hearing this, Xu Jie's expression didn't change as he looked down upon that Immortal Beast.

In terms of size, that Immortal Beast is nothing but a small fry before Xu Jie now.

His gaze calm, like an ancient well without ripples, he said.

"Not yet, I have another plan."

Huh???

Hearing that, the Immortal Beast blinked, another plan? But you didn't say that before.

When the beast horde gathered earlier, the Beast King had no plan at all, just charging straight in.

How come he suddenly has a plan now.

The Immortal Beast, utterly bewildered, asked softly.

"Your Majesty's plan is...................."

It was clear that the Immortal Beast spoke with extreme caution, as if afraid of angering Xu Jie.

It well knows how violent its king's temperament is—one disagreement and he'll bite beasts.

Many of its subordinates among the beastfolk have been swallowed alive by its king.

To this, Xu Jie replied with a gloomy gaze.

"Sometimes, we beastfolk should indeed learn more from humans, learn human wisdom and strategy, and not rely solely on brute force."

"Pure brute force and reckless charging only increase casualties; just like this time dealing with the Dao One Immortal Sect, even if we attack directly we could win, but who knows how many casualties there would be."

"So, we need to use our brains."

Huh???

"Use our brains? That's an extremely niche term among beastfolk."

Moreover, it's hard to imagine that this word came from our king's mouth, making it even more absurd.

Staring blankly at Xu Jie, the Immortal Beast had a moment of absent-mindedness.

Xu Jie then continued speaking.

"Like this, you now lead a troop of beastfolk to the Dao One Immortal Sect, demand their surrender; if they surrender, my beastfolk can spare them a way to live."

"Your Majesty, this............. the Dao One Immortal Sect probably won't agree."

"What do you know? Without trying, how would you know? To subdue the enemy's troops without battle is the supreme strategy."

Hearing this, the Immortal Beast blinked repeatedly, dazed.

When did our king even learn the tactic of subduing the enemy without battle?

It's a simpleton; could it understand these things?

But after regaining its senses, the Immortal Beast weakly asked again.

"But what if the Dao One Immortal Sect refuses? After all, when they came before, they didn't reach an agreement either."

"Hmph."

Upon saying that, Xu Jie deliberately let out a cold snort, instantly frightening the Immortal Beast into prostrating itself on the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Jie then leisurely said.

"So you're foolish; even if the Dao One Immortal Sect refuses, wouldn't you threaten them a bit? Dampen their spirit, then when my beast horde arrives, wouldn't it be easier to take them down?"

With that Immortal Beast's not-so-bright mind, hearing this, to it it indeed made some sense.

In a moment, it didn't dare to speak up in doubt any longer, respectfully prostrating on the ground, insisting on speaking.

Your Majesty is wise.

Seeing that this Immortal Beast was protected, Xu Jie said coldly.

Just understand, this matter is left to you to handle; don't let this king down.

Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty.

Hearing this, the Immortal Beast respectfully nodded in agreement.

Immediately following Xu Jie's orders, he selected several hundred beasts and headed toward the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Watching the Immortal Beast lead a group of beasts away, Xu Jie, transformed into a White Qilin, flashed a cold smile in his eyes.

You idiot, this will let you go and never return.

Several hundred beasts arrived at the Dao One Immortal Sect, still threatening? Threatening nonsense.

That's literally like lambs entering a tiger's mouth, fish on the chopping block; it's several hundred beasts delivered as food to our door.

Showing no abnormality, Xu Jie slowly closed his eyes, imitating the White Qilin's appearance, continuing to feign sleep by the lake.

The surrounding beasts also detected no abnormality.

Meanwhile, inside the Dao One Immortal Sect, Hong Zun's group returned first.

Inside the hall, Qi Xiong stared in disbelief, shouting his question.

"What are you saying? You left that kid Xu Jie alone?"

In response, Hong Zun took a sip of wine from his gourd, indifferent.

"What do you mean I left him? It's that kid who wanted to stay."

"He wanted to stay? How, does that kid not want to live?"

"When you say that, that kid has his own plan."

"Plan?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, rest assured, this plan is flawless; moreover, within half a Shíchén, the first batch of food will be delivered to our door, so Senior Brother should quickly arrange people to receive it."

"Food delivered to our door? Or the first batch?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiong frowned deeply, completely not understanding what medicine these master and disciple were selling in their gourd.

You have a plan, but you should at least inform me beforehand; every time you act first and report later, I am the Sect Master.
