Chapter 623: Century-long Plan, The Edge Of Life And Death (4)

"Hou Feng, you give Hou Quan guidance on cultivation every day, yet you've hardly instructed me at all," Eldritch General Hou Tong grumbled, lying down on the grass next to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, glancing at Eldritch General Hou Tong, but made no move to push her away.

He had tried it before; pushing her away was futile.

"You always have ulterior motives for asking me to guide you. Hou Tong, I won't consider marriage until I become a High Eldritch," Wu Yuan said coolly.

"That's fine, I can wait. By the time you become a High Eldritch, I reckon I'll be an Earth Eldritch. Even then, I'll still be a match for you," Eldritch General Hou Tong hummed contentedly.

She had the look of someone who had Wu Yuan all figured out.

"Brother Hou Feng, though Eldritch General Hou Tong may be a bit overbearing, she's truly exceptional. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone her equal in the entire eldritch race," Hou Quan chimed in from the side, stirring the pot.

He was clearly enjoying the show.

"Focus on practicing your saber techniques and mind your own business," Wu Yuan said with his eyes closed.

Hou Quan grinned and said no more. Tactfully, he leaped away, leaving Wu Yuan and Hou Tong alone.

Hou Tong? Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, catching a whiff of Eldritch General Hou Tong’s scent.

As someone whose Dao Heart rivaled that of a High Eldritch, Wu Yuan could easily perceive that Hou Tong's initial curiosity and defiance towards him had gradually transformed into a genuine crush.

Eldritch General Hou Tong was indeed exceptional, cold and domineering towards others, yet passionate as fire towards Wu Yuan.

If Wu Yuan were willing, they likely would have already consummated their relationship.

Wu Yuan was no saint; to say he wasn't moved at all would be a lie.

However, I'll only be staying in this Immutable Land for a thousand years at most. Wu Yuan thought calmly. A thousand years? For Hou Tong, who is destined to become an Earth Eldritch, it's far too fleeting. She may even have a chance to become a High Eldritch in the future.

Wu Yuan had met Veteran Elder Hou Qiong. While some men and women in the eldritch race had no concept of chastity and indulged in wanton behavior, there were others who remained utterly faithful to their partners.

He had a feeling that Hou Tong was similar to Veteran Elder Hou Qiong in this regard.

After I leave, time will heal the scars in her heart. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

"I'm going back to cultivate," Wu Yuan said after some time, rising and flying into a distant hall. The hall's barriers immediately rose, preventing anyone else from entering.

"Damn you, Hou Feng." Eldritch General Hou Tong glared at his back, then broke into a smile. "Well, it's only right. A strong man is always challenging to conquer.

All those other Eldritch Generals are so compliant, yet they don't hold a candle to Hou Feng."

...

Within the highest temple of the Thirty-Three Heavens in Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Third Brother, are you certain?" Imperial Majesty Nan You looked at Imperial Majesty Da Yan, his eyes filled with a hint of disbelief. "Isn't it a bit too soon?"

Unbeknownst to others, they entered the Creation Divine Artifacts.

Everything was in place!

Two days later, while many of the immortal race's Earth Immortals and High Immortals were unaware of the true situation and believed it to be just another routine operation, the immortal race's most powerful assassination squad in history departed from Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

...

Just one day later.

In the sky tens of millions of li from the Archeldritch tribe, over ten figures gathered, emanating powerful auras.

"Does everyone understand the plan?

In this battle, Tu Liu... you six will lead the battle arrays, following Imperial Majesty Lei Fu to attack the eastern side of the Earth Archeldritch tribe. Create a huge commotion, but don't be reckless. Try your best to lure the High Eldritches of the Earth Archeldritch tribe to engage you in battle, and occupy them. This will be our feint." Imperial Majesty Nan You stood in the sky, his aura powerful.

Imperial Majesty Lei Fu stood beside him.

"Understood," three Heavenly Masters and three High Immortals respectfully replied.

They were all highly trusted by the three Imperial Majesties, but even at this moment, they still didn't know the true purpose of this battle. They only knew that this mission was extremely important, because two of the three Imperial Majesties were taking part.

"Bei Hai, you four will lead the battle arrays, follow me and heed my commands," Imperial Majesty Nan You's gaze fell upon the other four.

"Understood," two Heavenly Masters and two High Immortals respectfully replied.

Then, the two Imperial Majesties once again sealed these Heavenly Masters and High Immortals in their Creation Divine Artifacts, ensuring no aura would leak out.

Only then did a white-robed woman suddenly appear.

"Wu Zong pays respects to the Imperial Majesties," the white-robed woman said solemnly.

She was High Immortal Wu Zong. First comprehending the Wind Dao, she later became the only High Immortal in the entire immortal race to comprehend the Space Dao to an extremely profound level.

Her forte lay in assassination and stealth. For this mission, she was the immortal race's strongest trump card.

"I believe you've already vaguely detected the target. This is the power of the Mirror of Creation. Your mission is to infiltrate and kill Hou Feng after I make my move," Imperial Majesty Nan You said in a low voice.

"Understood," High Immortal Wu Zong nodded solemnly.

Only the two Imperial Majesties and High Immortal Wu Zong knew who the actual target was. It could be said that the immortal race had already committed its full strength to this battle.

Hum~ High Immortal Wu Zong's form shimmered slightly, merging into the void, leaving no trace.

"Big Brother," Imperial Majesty Lei Fu looked towards Imperial Majesty Nan You.

"Let us give it our all," Imperial Majesty Nan You said calmly, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "The rest, we leave to fate."

"Let's go."

The two Imperial Majesties moved, flying off in different directions.
