Chapter 1099: Winds and Clouds Gather (5)

Wu Tie looked at Gongsun Yao, saying each word extremely slowly and extremely clearly: "Are you sure, that teleportation array exactly leads to the Outer Heavenly Demons' Nest?"

"Are you sure that by going there you will definitely be able to sweep away the nest and completely exterminate the Outer Heavenly Demons?"

"Are you sure you can definitely lead many human elites to achieve great deeds and return safely?"

"Without reconnaissance, without planning, without reserve forces, without any support, you just went ahead recklessly and impulsively. Isn't it that you've always been confident, full of confidence in every step?"

Wu Tie let out a surprised sigh: "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to do that."

"I absolutely wouldn't dare, without any reconnaissance, not clarifying what the situation is on the other side of the teleportation array, to just lead people to charge over."

"I absolutely wouldn't dare, without any backup, to recklessly charge over and fight."

"Of course, if it were just me, when I have absolute confidence in my own strength, I would dare to take risks……but I would never bring my relatives and friends, my loyal subordinates, to take risks."

"In a hail of bullets and arrows, having just me go forward would be fine……I absolutely wouldn't dare to recklessly bring millions of elites on such an irresponsible adventure."

"Brothers are like limbs, comrades-in-arms are brothers; I cannot bear to let them die pointlessly, without any worth." Wu Tie said in a deep voice: "Facing real enemies, to protect the human populace, we can meet the enemy on a narrow road and draw swords to fight."

"But facing a teleportation array whose destination is completely unknown……hehe!"

Wu Tie sneered: "Gongsun Yao, you have huge guts……or rather, you don't treat your subordinates as people at all?"

Gongsun Yao became agitated; Wu Tie's words were like ice knives, mercilessly stabbing his heart one after another. He, who already had a guilty conscience, hysterical screamed: "Nonsense, I'm leading them to attack the enemy, naturally I have confidence to let them return safely!"

Besides, Ji Baijie also came to his senses, and in a strange voice added a jab: "Oh, you have confidence to let them return safely? You think you, kid, are the venerable one? My Heavenly Court soldiers are the ones who have confidence to survive a hundred battles……what do you rely on?"

Ji Baijie laughed with a sarcastic tone: "You're not even the beloved son of those Outer Heavenly Demons, how dare you guarantee that you will definitely bring everyone back completely intact, not missing a single arm or leg?"

The human populace's high-ranking officials forcibly suppressed their killing intent toward Ji Baijie, each looking at Gongsun Yao with extreme caution.

Wa Island came under attack, the old matriarchs fell, events happened too fast, many things were beyond their careful consideration.

Especially, they were originally close to the Gongsun clan, and this time especially because of Wa Qing's relation, they had the fate to enter the Wa tribe's Ancestral Spirit Space, break through the Outer Heavenly Demons' Great Dao blockade, with the help of human faith power break through the Venerable rank, and condense a Dao Seal.

This favor they owed was too great, so they unrespondingly responded to the proposal of Gongsun Jun and Gongsun Yao father and son to straightly strike at the Yellow Dragon, and gathered a large number of elite followers to follow them into the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star.

But Wu Tie's words exactly stirred up the doubts in their hearts.

Yeah, how did Gongsun Yao, while on Wa Island, shout out the slogan "straight strike at the Yellow Dragon"?

How could he determine that the other side of the teleportation array is the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star?

What if they gathered forces on a certain fallen landmass and then deployed them onto Wa Island……

If Gongsun Yao truly led his army to break through the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star, seized control of the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star, and possessed terrifying strategic deterrence……plus the formidable combat power under Gongsun Yao's command, and the allies the Gongsun clan has drawn together over the years among the various tribes……

No one would bring up these doubts anymore.

Because Gongsun Yao, who controls the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star and has so many elite forces supporting him, is already certain to ascend the Human Emperor's Throne.

Everyone will only add flowers to the brocade, flatter and fawn over Gongsun Yao.

No one will turn back to question the past mistakes of the lofty, supremely noble Human Emperor; even if there are some clues and traces of doubt, who would mention them? Who would speak of them?

But now, everyone can bring them up, everyone can speak of them!

"Also, what a coincidence—the old matriarchs were ambushed, the old matriarchs' cultivated consorts also suffered heavy casualties, and the one who ended up speaking out was precisely Wa Qing." A clan chief of the Shennong clan, in the crowd, let out a muffled grunt.

"That's right, what a coincidence……too much of a coincidence."

"Moreover, hearing that this Martial King Wu Tie obtained the old matriarch's essence blood soul imprint……obtained the old matriarch's dying approval." Another highly respected elder voiced doubt softly: "Then why did Gongsun Yao receive the complete Wa Imperial Order?"

"If Gongsun Yao's Wa Imperial Order came about cleanly and openly, why would the old matriarch need to go to the trouble of granting Wu Tie the essence blood soul imprint?" Someone else in the crowd loudly muttered.

Many of the human high-ranking present have personally experienced that bloody slaughter on Wa Island.

They generally know what happened.

Ji Baijie laughed "heh heh heh" to one side: "Gongsun Yao, first wipe your own backside clean, then come ask the venerable one about your mother's whereabouts……hahaha, venerable one, I won't accompany you!"

Ji Baijie waved his right hand, and thirty-six massive God-Slaying Ships slowly started up, amidst clusters of huge white clouds, accelerating away into the distance.

Gongsun Yao stared blankly, then angrily shouted at the human high-ranking: "You all just let this scoundrel leave? His grudge for destroying the holy temples of all tribes……"

The human high-ranking stared blankly, then simultaneously called out, preparing to lead their subordinates to pursue and kill.

Wu Tie lightly swung his holy sword, a sword curtain sliced through the void, blocking before the massive army formation of the human populace.

Wu Tie said coldly: "Ji Baijie is certainly not a good thing, but……you fighting him is merely wasting combat power pointlessly. Gongsun Yao, some matters we should first clarify before talking about anything else."

"Regarding the human race, some matters must be clarified first!" Wu Tie's attitude was unprecedentedly firm and resolute.

Gongsun Yao's eyes flickered with mad green light, he hoarsely shouted: "Clarify what? Clarify what? On what basis do you say this? Eh, eh……come, take him……seize him!"

Gongsun Yao pointed fiercely at Wu Tie.

Nearly a thousand Venerable experts of the Gongsun clan shouted in unison, forming a small arrowhead formation under the leadership of a burly man, and charged toward Wu Tie.

The thousand-strong army formation gathered the power of a thousand Venerables, immense mana stirring the void, changing wind and clouds; above the boundless sea below, a gigantic vortex with a diameter of tens of millions of miles appeared out of nowhere, terrifying devouring power constantly seeping from the vortex.

The human high-ranking all turned pale.

They then realized that, from the Ancestral Spirit Space, the Gongsun clan gained the greatest benefit; the Gongsun family's Venerable experts outnumbered the combined Venerable experts of all other human populace by a large margin.

With such strength, if Gongsun Yao truly wanted to act tyrannically……even if the human populace joined forces, they could not stop him!

"This scoundrel probably really has ulterior motives!" A clan chief of a major tribe murmured softly.

Wu Tie looked at the charging arrowhead formation, not using his sword, but lightly punched down with a fist.
