Chapter 442 New Plans

Demon Tao and Yan realized how much more things would be simpler if Cain and Xun were just King Tier geniuses. That level of prowess would be noteworthy, but not anything too crazy. It certainly wouldn't arouse organizations' attention to foster them.

But alas, Emperor Tier geniuses are far too valuable anywhere they go. Typically, when these geniuses reach the Divine Ruler realm, they automatically become Divine Decree Lords without any hassle. Their prowess can even shoot them to the top of the Divine Decree ranking.

In the absence of Divine Mortals, Emperor Tier geniuses are truly the next best things. And the fervent emotions of wanting to obtain such geniuses aren't exaggerated at all.

? These kinds of people would be a tremendous force that can boost an ordinary Middle Tier Holy Land to a pseudo Heavenly Great World!

The influence of an Emperor Tier geniuses can draw in greater forces and themselves have such extreme prowess that can easily contend against other organizations' powers.

Even if an Emperor Tier genius doesn't become a sect leader of the sorts, their relations with that sect would still be a strong tie that the sect can latch onto.

All of this wasn't even considering the fact that recently, Holy Lands, Martial Families, and all other organizations are becoming increasingly eager to add powerful forces for some mysterious reason.

Neither Demon Tao nor Yan know the real reason why. But they can safely say that dealing with Cain and Amber won't be a straightforward feat.

Putting a finger to his chin, eyes glossing over in simmering killing intent, Demon Tao said, "Now, the real question is just how to deal with these great nuisances. They're still exploring the Lake of Stars, right? If so, then their fortune might grant them great rewards that will only make them a much bigger threat. No matter what, they have to die very soon."

The demon duo appeared completely calm as they spoke and thought about Lee's group. But whether they were aware of it or not, a weird sense of pressure started to slowly grasp their necks. Breathing just felt slightly more difficult, yet the demon duo chose to ignore any semblance of fear.

In that moment, Zi Yan found it was the perfect time to strike. Their silence spoke volumes to him. When anyone becomes far more reserved than they usually are, a shift was occurring within their mental state.

Zi Yan's expression stayed the same as he said, "Oh, and just one more thing. Though we just barely managed to escape with our lives intact, Lee still left us with one last message. He specifically said, when they join this Holy Land, they will be their first target, no matter what."

Such a bold and audacious comment was a direct threat to their whole faction! The demon duo would think such a person is either a complete fool or wholly arrogant to a damaging point.

Yet, at this moment, Demon Tao and Yan stayed oddly silent while listening. Their expression tried to remain passive, yet anyone could see their brows twitching and slight shakiness within their arms.

If they were threatened by people weaker than them, the demon duo would treat those ants as air. Even if the person was in their same cultivation realm, or hell, just slightly stronger than them, the demon duo still wouldn't treat it with the utmost care.

But at this moment, out of all threats they heard, these straightforward of Cain genuinely stalled Demon Yao and Tan. The pressure gripping their necks grew at a terrifying intensity. Their breaths nearly came out as short pants.

For two times did they send out squadrons that can easily kill lone Divine Star geniuses. Even if a Middle Stage, upper-tier genius were to face Zi Yan's group, they wouldn't be able to resist just a couple of moves.

Even a Late Stage would be hard-pressed to suppress Zi Yan's group!

Yet, for all that power, this Lee and Xun easily beat them back with their lives just scraping the edge.

Demon Tao and Yan would need to be utter fools to not realize the tremendous threat they have hanging on their necks.

In only a few short words and moves, Cain and Amber seemingly played mind games upon the Demon duo.

It was a bit similar to the schemes and plans nobles use within their mortal countries. Except for this time, everything is built off one's personal strength and future potential.

Naturally, within the God Galaxy society, though strength is the only value permeating the universe, it didn't mean these Divine cultivators were overtly arrogant, prideful, or even just foolish.

After all, even the weakest of Divine Origin cultivators forges their Divine Will, which causes their minds to evolve to an entirely new realm of perceptions.

Mind strengthening, wisdom expansion, and intelligence increase did naturally occur throughout the mortal realms of cultivations. But the jump in one's brain abilities becomes immense with a cultivator's Divine Ascension.

Everyone, including World Spirit Masters, is competing in the brutal competition to comprehend the Great Dao. So naturally, when determining the connections between organizations, the conquering of territory, trade of resources, and even explorations of mystic realms or inheritances, it all revolves around special cultivators' powers and abilities.

With a seemingly endless number of people populating the God Galaxies, it was only natural that there's a practically infinite supply of geniuses. Whether it is through normal or artificial means.

This is where Divine Cultivators' own unique schemes and politics come into play. Cultivators' and World Spirit Masters' moves need to be calculated. No matter their own prowess, none of them can't let arrogance go to their heads.

Thus, while the value of strength seems straightforward, in reality, it's a strange system that involves a variety of factors.

Even Holy King experts, Primal Sovereign masters, and legendary Heavenly Venerate existences can't do anything causally. These cultivators can dictate their own rules within their domains, but these rules will need to mash against others and either co-exist or get forcefully changed.

At this moment, Demon Tao and Yan realize they are already locked in a deadly dance with Cain and Amber. But not just them. Even Wen Shao is directly included in this deadly dance!

Demon Tao wearily asked, "Wait...just how do they know about us? Did you give them any clues to guess?"

"No...none at all. They were evidently smart enough to not give away how they know about you two. My guess is that Lord Wen Dao's subordinates are feeding them information for their trust." Zi Yan calmly explained.

Every single word of his was calculated as if he perfected each of his phrases before even coming here.

Zi Yan's words had the intended effect. He managed to grow the demon duo's cautiousness.

An unknown enemy who can magically gain more information would never not be frightening. Especially if this source information is directly equal to their own source.

Demon Yan decisively decided, "Alright, we got what we needed. Zi Yan leave and go restore the rest of your injury. We will directly inform Lord Wen Shao. "

His goals accomplish, Zi Yan knew there was nothing he could say to amplify their fears. Nodding, Zi Yan quickly flew out of the royal house, a strange gleam shimmering in his eyes.

Left all alone, the demon duo didn't even have to move when a bright purple shine flickered from Demon Tao's pocket.

A glowing purple ring tore out of Demon Tao's pocket all on its own. Spirit energy streamed out of the ring, rapidly forming into a meter-long phantom.

As the phantom manifested, its presence already blared out and engulfed the room.

Without even the use of Divine Aura, the surrounding World Source Laws slowly turned stagnant. Slight Law essence ripples pulsated through thin air.

Specks of the Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence simply vanished from this terrifying presence.

Demon Tao and Yan instantly took a knee under this growing phantom. They didn't dare to breathe wrong as they endure the overwhelming and rapidly climbing presence.

Soon enough, the phantom completely formed, revealing the faint image of a handsome young man.

The phantom's unique face, however, was warped with great concern. His eyes narrowed dangerously as if he could feel the upcoming danger.

This young man didn't exude any bearing of an overwhelming genius, but rather one is cold and calculative.

Demon Tao and Yan loudly spoke at the same time, their tones filled with the utmost respect. "Greetings Lord Wen Shao!"

Phantom Wen Shao stiffly nodded before quickly saying, "I do not have much time to waste. My breakthrough process is mere steps away. But still, I've paid close attention to this issue since the day Zi Yan's group arrived. I will say that my brother sure has far better good fortune than me. But it won't matter if Lee and Xun are dead. As you two are aware, Du Hu is far superior to Zi Yan in every way. She can even face peak Late Stages Divine Star warriors and beat some of them. Her chances of killing are at least an 70% odd. While her chance of defeating is at least 85%. Both are seemingly high probabilities but too low for my liking. Thus, Tao, you will go down to the Zhou Family manor to reinforce Du Hu. Zhou Ling will sort you in so there won't be any complications. Are we clear?"

"Understood Lord." Demon Tao dutifully nodded without any disagreement.

In that moment, Demon Yan can say he felt far more confident now. Although, the ominous sensations sweeping his soul didn't disappear.

N0 v el Next. CoM

Surely, the combination of Late Stage Divine Star experts would be enough to finally put down Lee and Xun?

At least, that's what Demon Yan desperately told himself to believe.
