Chapter 232: Chu Xuan: I Have a Plan (Please vote for monthly tickets! Please follow!)

"What? Captain... Wu Xian won't participate in the upcoming battle! What does this mean?!"

Cairo, in a remote town, Zheng Zheng Fuzha looked at the Zhongzhou Team members in front of him and asked with some surprise.

Not long ago, the Devil Team was forced into a desperate situation by the East Sea Team together with two chat group members. Even though Zheng Zheng Fuzha relied on his dual bloodlines to struggle and support, they were still almost wiped out.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Zhongzhou Team members appeared in time and showed extremely strong power, helping them repel the two strong enemies, the Black Dragon and Gilgamesh.

Regarding this, Zheng Zheng Fuzha's mood could be said to be quite complicated. He had thought that meeting the Zhongzhou Team in this team battle, even if they wouldn't be at daggers drawn, would be a scene of two heroes meeting, like a martial arts tournament. As it turned out, his side was in such a sorry state, and he was saved by the other side. He felt a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, it was not a major problem. There were many familiar faces on the Zhongzhou Team side. After a little pleasantry, he let go of the awkwardness in his heart and prepared to discuss cooperation to fight against the East Sea Team.

As it turned out, it would have been better not to discuss it; as soon as they discussed it, they received a small piece of bad news.

The Zhongzhou Team's undoubtedly strongest combat power, Captain Wu Xian, had actually encountered a problem and could not participate in the upcoming battle?

Zheng Zheng Fuzha felt his whole person go numb. What was the difference between this situation and going to the bathroom alone, only to find there was no toilet paper?

"No help for it. In the last horror movie, because of some reasons, Wu Xian had already started trying to break through his inner demons. After failing, he became very prone to falling into a state of madness and loss of control. Once he fights for a long time, he will gradually become unable to distinguish friend from foe. And with Wu Xian's strength, in the end, not only the enemies but even we might be finished together."

Miss Zhan Lan explained with feigned helplessness, saying the lines she had prepared long ago.

"Ah, this... are inner demons like this?"

Zheng Zheng Fuzha frowned. He had also reached the Fourth Stage and tried to break through inner demons. Although he hadn't succeeded, he wouldn't say he would fall into madness as soon as he fought. As long as his mental power was concentrated enough, trying a few more times would always allow him to suppress it, unless he was forced into a desperate situation.

"Hmm, just assume Wu Xian's situation is a bit different. After all, he is so strong; it's normal for his inner demons to be troublesome."

Miss Zhan Lan didn't explain much and swept her gaze toward the remaining members of the Devil Team.

Besides Zheng Zheng Fuzha and the clone Cheng Xiao, there were two other familiar figures, who were none other than the two newcomers who joined in the last horror movie of the Zhongzhou Team—Wang Chaozong and Dugu Feng.

When she saw them with her mental power earlier, Miss Zhan Lan was a bit surprised, but thinking of the Devil Team's setting of cloning talented people, she felt it was a matter of course.

And according to her mental power scan feedback, although the two were not lightly injured now, their strength was quite impressive. To her, they were no weaker than Mou Gang and Li Xiaoyi.

One must know that these two old members had returned to the Van Helsing world and trained for more than a year each, finally breaking through their genetic locks to the Third Stage under pressure, enough to exert 70-80% of their A-rank enhanced bloodlines. This was not considered weak among all reincarnation teams.

And Wang Chaozong and Dugu Feng were just cloned into the Devil Team in the last horror movie. Even though they had the operation of returning to the previous few horror movies to farm points, they caught up with Mou Gang and the others in such a short time. This potential and will could no longer be described as simple talent.

By the way, according to the clone Cheng Xiao's disclosure, it turned out that Zhu Peng was also cloned into the Devil Team, but perhaps because he was too unlucky, he was hit by Uchiha Madara's Susanoo at the start of this horror movie, directly suffering serious injuries, and later died under Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms, which was why he didn't appear.

Hearing this, Miss Zhan Lan sighed with emotion. They were all talents who came out of their place. If they had been more careful in the last horror movie, the Zhongzhou Team's strength might have become even stronger.

"Alright, let's put the matter of recruiting reincarnation members aside for now; the top priority is the upcoming team battle."

Miss Zhan Lan cheered herself up and, after saying this, looked at the wise man in her own team and asked: "Chu Xuan, what do you think about the battle with the East Sea Team?"

"A bit difficult."

Chu Xuan faced the illusory light screen in front, his hands tapping rapidly in the void. After hearing Miss Zhan Lan's question, he said without looking back:

"Now the Devil Team has suffered heavy casualties, and only Zheng Zha's clone remains with true Fourth Stage combat power. As for our side, not counting Wu Xian, there are Zheng Zha, you, and Zhao Yingkong—three Fourth Stage combatants. Compared to the opposite side, we are still short of at least two, and this is without counting other East Sea Team members who haven't appeared yet."

"Even if they don't have extra Fourth Stage combatants on their side, the remaining two Fourth Stage combatants are extremely difficult to deal with... You should all understand that the Fourth Stage is a watershed in the transcendent system. Unless the quantity reaches a certain level, or like Miss Zhan Lan, you have exchanged for an S-rank bloodline, otherwise, ordinary Third Stage cultivators find it very difficult to contend with the Fourth Stage."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and their expressions became solemn. Only Zheng Zheng Fuzha looked at his original self, secretly thinking that there was also a special case here.

What? You say that's my original self? Then never mind!

"Then what should we do? Are we destined to lose this team battle to the East Sea Team?"

The clone Cheng Xiao said with some unwillingness.

He had been cloned into the Devil Team for a while. With his cheerful personality, he soon hit it off with other Devil Team members and recognized them as partners. Now that he had seen these people die at the hands of those Japanese people from the East Sea Team, how could he not feel angry?

"That bastard Zhao Zhui Kong!"

Fu Cheng gritted his teeth and whispered: "The others of the East Sea Team are fine, but this traitor Zhao Zhui Kong must die! We can't just let him go!"

"His life is mine."

At this time, Zhao Yingkong's voice drifted over lightly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The Zhongzhou Team side was fine; they had already heard about Zhao Yingkong's main and sub-personalities, so they didn't find it strange. On the contrary, the four from the Devil Team couldn't help but reveal curious expressions, very much wanting to know what kind of entanglement existed between this pair of siblings.

"Understood, Zhao Zhui Kong is left to you."

Chu Xuan didn't care about the abnormality of the crowd and continued to formulate tactics in a calm tone: "In addition, I have a plan. If it succeeds, perhaps we can quickly offset one Fourth Stage combat power of the opponent, but this requires the cooperation of all of you."

"What plan?"

At the same time, in the universe of another plane, a massive warship was moving forward silently.

Shifting the view to the interior, bypassing layers of armor and protection, they finally arrived at the center of the warship.

That was a massive palace that occupied almost one-tenth of the entire space warship.

Supported by dozens of pillars over a hundred meters high, a golden throne stood high at the end of the palace. A figure draped in a robe sat on it, silent. However, the invisible pressure produced spread to the entire palace, making even the air seem exceptionally heavy. Even the guards far outside this palace felt it was difficult to breathe.

Regarding this, the figure on the throne remained indifferent from beginning to end, as if there were no longer any objects in this entire universe that could attract its attention... or was it waiting, waiting for those qualified to make it pay attention to appear?

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Suddenly, in the space above the palace, light and shadow twisted slightly, and a massive face with unclear features emerged, looking down at the figure on the throne.
