Chapter 2427: Just waiting for him to crash and burn!

But the Yao race did not think this way; the Twelve Ancestral Witches had already obtained the Illusory Heaven Mirror, and they must obtain the Heaven-Breaking Hammer at all costs.

Otherwise, the Wu Clan would hold them in their grip, and they would have no chance whatsoever to break the deadlock.

Shang Yang said directly: "We cannot abandon the Slayer-Witch Sword; if we abandon it, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and the Yao race will be plunged into irreparable ruin."

Ying Zhao did not agree.

But soon he could not voice any opposition, for the Wu Clan now possessed more and more magic treasures.

Emperor Jun's newly grown Jin Wu wings were seen by all as a disgrace, especially by the Ten Great Yao Saints.

Donghuang Taiyi said: "We must obtain the Heaven-Breaking Hammer; the Yao race cannot fall behind the Wu Clan!"

"That's right! The Yao Emperor speaks truly!"

Fei Lian and Ji Meng nodded simultaneously; though he knew Jin Ling Shengmu had already departed with Nanji Xianweng toward the Thirty-Three Heavens Beyond, intercepting them was still very possible.

"How many should we send?" Fei Dan asked.

They had to find a way to dispatch troops, and also find a way to lure the Two Western Saints over.

Dong Huang Taiyi had just received word that the Two Western Saints had gone to see Daoist Randeng—meaning Ancestor Minghe had won the Two Western Saints' approval.

Even though Dong Huang Taiyi had offered the Two Western Saints so many promises and benefits, they remained unmoved.

If the Yao race cannot have it, then they must destroy the hope of the Two Saints.

This thought caused both Yao Emperors to exchange a glance, each affirming the other's unspoken intent.

"Immediately send people to intercept Hong Yun and Jin Ling Shengmu; seize the Break Heaven Hammer at all costs!"

All members of the Yao race obeyed without hesitation.

Fei Lian glanced at Gui Che beside him; Gui Che indeed wished to prove himself, and he had already dispatched agents—he still held considerable influence among the core ranks.

Fei Dan said: "Gui Che, you must stay here; the Yao Emperor does not want you to leave. If you depart, you may provoke outrage among the primordial beings of Honghuang."

Gui Che nodded calmly.

All eyes turned to Gui Che; he was not the kind of person to be this calm—what was going on?

Everyone felt uneasy; even Dong Huang Taiyi stared at Gui Che twice, then slammed his fist on the table in fury and stormed out of the meeting chamber.

Back in his own quarters, Gui Che let out a cold snort.

"I can't get my hands on the Ten Golden Pearls—but I refuse to believe I can't get anything else!"

"The Break Heaven Hammer must be mine!"

Only by obtaining the Heaven-Breaking Hammer would the Yao race look at him with new respect, and only if the Heaven-Breaking Hammer was in Gui Che's hands could he turn his fate around.

The more he thought about it, the more certain Gui Che became that his plan was right—the Twelve Ancestral Wu could never have anticipated this scheme.

Gui Che's plan was simple: send the minor demons under his command, who could disguise themselves as the Twelve Ancestral Wu, to pose as Tian Wu and Weng Zi and approach Hong Yun.

Since Hong Yun was close to the Wu Clan, turn their own tactics against them—let Hong Yun experience being deceived.

Thinking of this, Gui Che burst into loud laughter.

Shang Yang walked over and said: "Gui Che, you must accept defeat on some matters. If you make another mistake, the Yao race may no longer tolerate you—the Yao Emperor will not permit you to remain in the Yao race. Think carefully before you act."
