Chapter 1400 -50: Is Wang Shouzhe a Major Villain?_4

At this moment, as each hand seal was deployed, the arrays began to slowly activate. A faint glow circulated, resembling fierce beasts lurking in the darkness, ready to devour anyone approaching, emitting a dangerous aura.

“Retreat!”

Feeling the increasingly horrifying aura emanating from inside the formation, all the people in black changed their expressions to one of grave severity and immediately turned to run without any hesitation after forming the last hand seal.

Once the formation was activated, they had only a quarter of an hour to escape.

A moment’s delay, and they would be buried along with the South Qin’s army.

Fortunately, they had rehearsed this route countless times before and could navigate it with their eyes closed.

By the time they had expertly escaped the complex underground caverns, a loud “boom” echoed behind them, and Youmen Ridge began to shake violently, as if a giant monster underground had turned over.

The earth shook, magma spurted out, and the sky was filled with firelight and a thick fog of volcanic ash!

The terrifying might that could destroy heaven and earth was akin to a cataclysmic disaster descending.

“How is this possible?!”

The experts in the army could never have anticipated such a turn of events; their faces twisted dramatically as they let out beast-like roars: “Retreat, retreat quickly!”

“Form the array, activate the protective array.”

“How is this possible!”

Murong Kaifeng’s pupils shuddered violently as he let out a roar similar to that of an ancient beast.

However, at this moment, no matter what they did, it was futile. Even if the Great Emperor himself were to come, he could not stop such a natural disaster.

And the ones who instigated this disaster had already run far away and hidden themselves. Their bodies were covered in volcanic ash, looking disheveled, but their spirits were incredibly high, almost ecstatic.

They had succeeded, they had earned merit!

“Wang Shouzhe’s plan was truly impeccable; this has indeed granted us a tremendous merit,” said the speaker, a newly promoted Divine Power Territory elder of the Great Qian Wang Clan—Wang Zouhui.

The other two were Wang Dingxin of the Wang family from Southern Desert, who was at the Purple Abode Realm, and Wang Zhubo of the Wang family from Longzuo, who was in the advanced stage of the Heavenly Human Realm. These were all important members of the Changning Wang Clan’s family.

It was no wonder, with such a surefire opportunity to gain great merit points, that after being hinted by Wang Shouzhe and manipulated by Wang Shizhao, naturally, it was left to their own family to execute.

But this disaster wasn’t limited to just Youmen Ridge.

Almost at the same time.

In the buffer area between West Jin and Da Qian, the vast area of saline land bordering the West Sea, the rapidly marching army of West Jin also faced a massive flood.

The flood seemed to descend from the heavens, scattering the West Jin army in disarray, the loss was devastating.

Such a situation spread rapidly like it had grown wings, reaching the key departments of South Qin, West Jin, Da Qian, and others.

Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard also received frontline intelligence at the first moment.

Emperor Longchang, Jiang Zhencang, and Wang Shouzhe gathered in the courtyard for a meeting.

“Wang Shouzhe, the speed at which your courtyard gathers intelligence seems to be even faster than the Cabinet?” Emperor Longchang sneered sourly, “It seems your little courtyard is the real power hub of our Great Qian. Even we two from the Transcendent Void Realm are at your beck and call.”

“Your Majesty, please take a look at the battle report first.” Wang Shouzhe, tired of such sarcasm, did not bother to respond, and handed two war reports to Longchang and Jiang Zhencang.

Both glanced briefly.

“What? A great victory at Jianling Pass! The South Qin army suffered heavy losses, nearly all corpse puppets were destroyed, regular army lost 30%?”

“West End Pass also a great victory? All corpse puppets destroyed? West Jin’s regular army suffered heavy losses.”

The two Transcendent Realm elders were quite shocked by this battle report, looking at each other, then turned to Wang Shouzhe: “Shouzhe, is this, this, true? I remember there were over thirty battalions of corpse puppet armies on both battlefields.”

“Your Majesty, Sacred Master. The corpse puppet armies are fearless and formidable in direct combat, but they lack intelligence and are sluggish. During cataclysmic natural disasters, their survival rate is much lower than that of agile humans,” Wang Shouzhe calmly stated, “I’ve confirmed through other intelligence channels—both reports are undoubtedly correct.”

“Very good!” Emperor Longchang exclaimed joyously, “Shouzhe, your plan has completely succeeded. A great victory, a true great victory. We should counterattack immediately, march to the capitals of West Jin and South Qin. Old Jiang, take West Jin; South Qin will be mine.”

“Your Majesty, please be patient,” Wang Shouzhe gestured with his hand, “Now is not the right time for a counterattack.”

“Nonsense,” Emperor Longchang rebuked sharply, “Both of their main armies have suffered heavily. When if not now to strike back? I’m confident we can reach their capitals.”

“What then?” Wang Shouzhe glanced at him, “Would the Demonic Dynasty sit idly by and allow us, Great Qian, to truly conquer South Qin and West Jin? They would surely intervene.”

“So what if they intervene? They have the Demonic Dynasty backing them, we also have the Immortal Dynasty,” Emperor Longchang said spiritedly, “These days, who doesn’t have some support behind them?”

“Hehe, the Demonic Dynasty and the Immortal Dynasty are evenly matched; neither can contain the other. Once both sides start contesting over our Great Qian, West Jin, South Qin, and others, it would surely result in ruin and destruction for our lands, ruining the promising situation,” Wang Shouzhe stated coldly, “If Your Majesty really insists on acting recklessly, my Changning Wang family will immediately sell all assets at a low price and move to the Immortal Dynasty to buy some farmland and live out our days.”
