Chapter 12: Surrounded? Then let's eat some immortal herbs!
Qian Renxue's proposal, despite its risks.
But strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with it; you can't just let people have complete freedom.
Therefore, the final plan was quickly finalized and accepted by all parties present.
It was led by two titled Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and supported by hundreds of ordinary Soul Masters.
In addition, the Empire will provide two elite legions to completely seal off the perimeter of Sunset Forest, preventing the target from shifting.
Then, they gradually infiltrated and gathered intelligence.
By narrowing the encirclement, the aim is to test the opponent's intentions.
It seems both frustrating and helpless, but there's really nothing that can be done; the empire has no room for error.
Should we send the last remaining members, Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen, on a risky attack on the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What if they fail and everything collapses!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not bear this risk, nor could the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Emperor Xueye dared not act recklessly.
"Qinghe, you'll be in charge of this matter."
As always, Qian Renxue was given the mission in her capacity as the Crown Prince.
The operation commenced immediately, and the area outside Sunset Forest was bustling with activity.
How could such a massive project be kept secret from the members of Shenyin? The special forces discovered it immediately.
Chen Zidian hovered in mid-air, keeping watch. With his late-stage ninth-level cultivation, he learned what was happening outside.
"As expected, His Majesty guessed correctly again!"
"The Heavenly Dou Empire is weak, and Emperor Xueye is cowardly."
"They definitely wouldn't dare to continue taking risks; they'd only resort to underhanded tactics to gather intelligence about us."
Chen Zidian recalled that when he reported the progress not long ago, His Majesty had mentioned that this situation might occur.
Suddenly realizing the truth, he secretly admired Lin Feng's prediction, then landed back on the ground without any intention of causing any damage.
Surround them? Let them have their way then. This place, as an outpost, has already made ample preparations for both possibilities and is not afraid of any reckless actions from the other side.
"Senior, what's going on outside?"
Long Haochen stepped forward and asked curiously.
Chen Zidian waved his hand, smiled calmly, and patted his shoulder.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of natives setting up defenses, doing nothing of value."
"As long as they don't attack, we don't need to pay attention to them; we can just do what we need to do."
"By the way, is there any progress on the immortal herb His Majesty mentioned last time? Let's find some time to eat it."
Chen Zidian paid no attention to the actions of the Heavenly Dou Empire; instead, he was more curious about something else.
Lin Feng already knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was rich in immortal herbs, so naturally he wouldn't let such a treasure slip by.
Although his power had diminished since he had reached the level of a demigod, he could still give it to his grandson Long Haochen and the Dawn of Light.
Therefore, when communication was activated last time, I suddenly remembered this and instructed Chen Zidian and others to keep an eye out, and they quickly identified many targets.
Eight-pointed Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, Heartbreaking Red Acacia... Lin Feng still had some impression of these that he could name.
In addition, the Dawn of Light team has Lin Xin, who is proficient in pharmacology. One of them matched based on physical characteristics, and the other carefully studied the ingredients. They confirmed it in a short time.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we've found all the magical herbs you mentioned!"
"I have arranged for my partners to take the medication in turn after the recording is completed."
Setting up a large teleportation array is not something that can be done overnight; it requires multiple breaks along the way.
Taking advantage of the break while meditating to replenish his spiritual energy, Long Haochen made careful arrangements, allowing his teammates to try it one by one.
Right now, it was Wang Yuanyuan's turn to take and absorb the medicine. She was eating Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which could strengthen her physique and enhance her physical body, making it very suitable for shield warriors.
"That's good. Contact His Majesty when you have time."
"This outpost will likely require the activation of Plan B."
Lin Feng had anticipated the reaction from the Heavenly Dou Empire, but he still had to report it.
Long Haochen nodded emphatically, then took the opportunity to activate the communication array and explained the current situation in detail.
Lin Feng was not surprised at all; of course there would be a reaction after capturing two Title Douluos!
Since this outpost has become a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Dou Empire, let's just turn the tables and draw all their attention to it.
"From now on, you must be on high alert."
"As long as the Yin-Yang Wells of Ice and Fire are not lost, nothing else matters."
"It's best to cause some noise or trouble from time to time so they don't dare to let their guard down."
After some thought, Lin Feng issued the latest instructions, preparing to keep the Douluo natives' gaze firmly fixed on Sunset Forest.
This will make it easier for Long Xingyu to infiltrate secretly and then launch a large-scale attack from the City of Slaughter, catching everyone off guard!
Thus, both sides, inside and outside the forest, had their own plans, and while the situation seemed to be deadlocked, it was actually developing steadily in secret.
Almost at the same time.
Long Xingyu had already walked quite a distance.
Dugu Bo followed beside him as the two approached the City of Slaughter.
Along the way, relying on the senses of a ninth-level expert, they detected a large number of abnormal movements.
Long Xingyu was alright, but Dugu Bo instantly recognized that the destination was near Tiandou City!
"I said, things seem to have gotten out of hand."
Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with worry, concerned for his granddaughter's safety.
"With His Majesty here, there certainly won't be any problems... Haven't we reached the City of Slaughter yet?"
Long Xingyu glanced at the person in front of him, his tone noticeably more gentle than when they set off.
Throughout the journey, the two never stopped communicating, exchanging information with each other, and getting to know each other better.
"Almost there, almost there, it should be just ahead."
Dugu Bo helplessly shrugged, too lazy to dwell on the previous topic.
After spending time with him, he figured out that this guy both respected and feared Lin Feng.
Whenever His Majesty is involved, there is basically no room for discussion; saying more would be a waste of breath.
Moreover... during a conversation not long ago, Long Xingyu, with a stern face, inadvertently let slip a certain sentence.
In addition to being the strongest person on the Holy Demon Continent and his boss, Lin Feng also "serves" as his father-in-law!
Who would have thought that he was the son-in-law of the mastermind behind the scenes!
Upon learning of this, Dugu Bo immediately had the urge to flatter him.
Leading Long Xingyu forward, they finally arrived at a mysterious town not long afterward.
"This is it. As His Majesty requested, I should return after escorting you to the door."
Dugu Bo stopped and pointed ahead. The gloomy town was dilapidated and filled with a faint chill and bloodlust.
Long Xingyu was no stranger to this place, and he immediately became alert, knowing from his intuition that he had come to the right place.
The two walked side by side into a tavern, casually found a table to sit down, and a waiter came forward to inquire.
"What would you like to order, sir?"
The waiter's tone was cold and his attitude was terrible.
Long Xingyu was not annoyed; instead, he observed with great interest.
The fact that this kind of service can keep the store running means there must be something else going on. I recalled the information I received from the Heavenly Dou Imperial City before I set off.
"Give me two Bloody Marys."
This is a code word, meaning we're going to the City of Slaughter.
The waiter paused, his expression turning from surprise to amusement.
He nodded, turned around and walked back to the bar, and took two glasses of scarlet "wine".
Dugu Bo smiled strangely, but instead of touching the wine glass, he stared at Long Xingyu.
"This is human blood, I won't drink it."
"If you want to go in, you must pass this test first."
"Hehe, hang in there, for His Majesty's mission, just bear with it..."
