Chapter 494: When the Map Is Exhausted, the Dagger Appears

Long Zhan Tian still didn't realize he had done something very foolish; at this moment, he was desperately urging Long Ao Tian to order a full-scale attack on Jinhai Yingdi.

"Ao Tian, the grand formation at Jinhai Yingdi has already been broken by me; now is the perfect time for a full-scale attack."

"Without the formation's protection, those people of Dao Yi Sect are literally fish on a chopping board."

Just hearing those words, Long Ao Tian's mouth twitched.

"Fish on a chopping board? Hah, who knows who will end up that way."

As Long Ao Tian, who has rich combat experience with Dao Yi Sect, he knows very well what kind of people they are.

Therefore, with the formation broken, from start to finish he felt no joy at all; on the contrary, he grew increasingly tense.

"Without the formation, then Dao Yi Sect could just march straight in."

Taking a deep breath, looking at Long Zhan Tian's excited, high-spirited face, Long Ao Tian said helplessly.

"Big brother, Dao Yi Sect is after all the leader of the Human Race; we can't be careless, we still need to plan before acting."

"Huh??? What do you mean by that, Ao Tian?"

"As the saying goes, think twice before acting; before attacking, I decide to first move the Dragon Palace a million li into the deep sea, then consider the attack."

"Move the Dragon Palace? And even move it to the rear?"

Hearing Long Ao Tian's words, Long Zhan Tian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"No way, we just broke the Near Sea Grand Formation; why would we retreat?"

"Ao Tian, you......"

He disagreed with ten thousand thoughts in his heart, but before he could speak, the other Water Clan Demon Kings nearby began to voice their agreement.

"The Dragon King is wise."

"What the Dragon King says is quite right; any matter should be considered thoroughly before acting."

"We support the Dragon King."

Hearing the agreement of all the Water Clan Demon Kings, Long Zhan Tian became utterly depressed and roared at the demon kings.

"What the hell, have you taken on water in your brains? With such a great opportunity now, why withdraw?"

"No, I disagree; as the saying goes, strike while the enemy is ill to take his life—now we have a chance to deal a heavy blow to Dao Yi Sect in one go; how can we waste such a great opportunity?"

Long Zhan Tian firmly refused, but the demon kings just kept shaking their heads.

"Strike while the enemy is ill to take his life? It's just that we smashed a corner of the Near Sea Grand Formation; where do you see that we've dealt a heavy blow to Dao Yi Sect?"

Moreover, with the formation shattered, who will end up happy in the end is still unknown.

Immediately, a demon king spoke up to advise.

"War King, Dao Yi Sect must not be underestimated."

"Yes, the Old Dragon King's death is still fresh in our minds; we cannot repeat the same mistake."

"Lord Dragon King is right; before dealing with Dao Yi Sect, we must first ensure our own safety."

"War King, think it over."

You......... you all..............

Seeing the many Water Clan Demon Kings speaking up to comfort him, Long Zhan Tian was so angry he couldn't utter a word.

He had clearly achieved great merit, so why are these good-for-nothings so hesitant and overcautious?

However, no demon king present supported him; even Long Zhan Tian alone could not hold out, and finally Long Ao Tian waved his hand and made the decision directly.

"I understand your feelings, big brother, but destroying Dao Yi Sect is certainly not something that can be done overnight; we still need to be cautious, so this is settled."

"Ao Tian, you......"

Furious, he glared at Long Ao Tian, then swept his gaze over the assembled demon kings; finally, Long Zhan Tian cursed and stormed out of the Dragon Palace hall without looking back.

"Hmph, a petty fool not worth consulting."

Long Zhan Tian was truly angry, but the demon kings also had their own difficulties.

Watching Long Zhan Tian's retreating back, Long Ao Tian on the chief seat sighed silently.

"Sigh, big brother, someday you will understand my painstaking efforts; those people of Dao Yi Sect are far from being as simple as they appear."

Thinking of this, Long Ao Tian weakly waved his hand.

"Go on, go down and make arrangements; Dao Yi Sect will likely arrive soon."

Hearing this, the demon kings dared not delay; they immediately scattered and began arranging the Water Clan's relocation.

Even the last Near Sea Grand Formation has been broken; now there really is nothing left to protect the Water Clan.

While the Water Clan was busy fleeing to the deep sea, inside Ghost Valley, Qi Xiong finally had his true nature revealed.

Seeing the Ghost Kings finish eating, each with an intoxicated look, Qi Xiong finally smiled and spoke.

"Everyone, the food of my Dao Yi Sect isn't bad, right?"

"Sect Master Qi, this deliciousness truly makes us reluctant to leave."

"Yes, it's just that this portion is really................."

Faced with such deliciousness, the Ghost Kings lavished praise without reserve, yet some Ghost Kings complained the portions were too small.

The taste is good, but it's just a tasting; each dish is only a bite, yet it's addictive.

Hearing that, Qi Xiong smiled and said.

"If you like it, that's fine; as for the portion, if you don't disdain it, joining my Dao Yi Sect will naturally mean you won't lack for it."

"Huh???"

Qi Xiong meant no beating around the bush; he spoke bluntly, and upon hearing this, the Ghost Kings present were first stunned, then each wore a complex expression.

Being able to become a Ghost King, one is naturally no fool; in an instant they grasped the meaning of Qi Xiong's words and also guessed the purpose of this Ghost King banquet.

It seems that from the very start, Qi Xiong and his group had come aiming to subdue Ghost Valley.

Though they instinctively felt some resistance, Qi Xiong didn't wait for the Ghost Kings to reply but went on speaking on his own.

Everyone, don't rush to refuse.

Actually, our sect invited you all and gave such a warm reception; naturally we have already considered the outcome.

Our Dao Yi Sect's principle has always been: to our own people we are open-hearted; but if one cannot become our own, then we can only apologize.

Now the situation in Dongzhou, you all should be able to see clearly; submitting to our Dao Yi Sect is the only way out for Guigu.

Not only can it preserve Guigu, but it can also let you all advance further.

Including the delicious food you have eaten before, it will also be available in the future.

I think this will not be a difficult choice for you all.

After saying that, Qi Xiong smiled and looked at the ghost kings below; meanwhile, the Yin Chen Three Ghosts had already stood up and moved behind him while he was speaking.

This action undoubtedly shows the choice of the Yin Chen Three; they have long since submitted to the Dao Yi Sect.

Looking at the Yin Chen Three standing behind Qi Xiong, some ghost kings showed hesitation, some had icy expressions, and some even couldn't help but shout curses.

"Guigu's shame, Yin Chen, you actually betrayed Guigu."

Seeing those few ghost kings who shouted angrily, Qi Xiong's expression remained unchanged, while Hong Zun, Qing Shi, Shi Song and the others beside him immediately attacked, striking those ghost kings right away.

"Courting death."

Facing the attack of Hong Zun and his companions, those ghost kings naturally would not surrender; but before they could act, three terrifying pressures descended instantly.

Feeling these three pressures, all the ghost kings present changed expression dramatically.

"Human Race Great Saint...."
