Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Lu Xiaobu also returned to his Gourd Island, silently contemplating.

Contemplating whether he had been exposed.

The confrontation with Lin Feng was not just a matter of a day or two; they knew each other incredibly well.

So, regardless of whether Lu Xiaobu’s demeanor changed when he met the Sword Master, Lin Feng was likely to notice.

It was an almost eerie feeling, not something that could be concealed by mere performance.

It could even be described as a sort of telepathy between them.

However, in the end, Lu Xiaobu shook his head.

He assessed that Lin Feng might only be suspicious, not certain, and there was still ample time.

As for the words he left behind, he indeed hoped to provoke the Lord of Heaven, but did not have much hope; Lin Feng’s chances of winning were far greater.

After all, even if the Lord of Heaven is hindered by anger, he is still inherently a hero.

Therefore, even if he first reads the words and gets blinded by rage, doing something reckless, how much chance exists that he would directly target the Sword Master?

Minimal at best!

So he did not harbor much hope for this move, considering it as the most uncertain arrangement.

"Report!"

At this moment, Xin Lifeng came in, knelt on one knee with excitement in his eyes: "Lord Lu, according to your plan, we have successfully incited chaos between Jiuyao and Qi Bei. Now both are fiercely battling, and Jiuyao’s bandits are rampaging on Qi Bei’s territory. Battle supplies are almost ready; shall we initiate the official battle?!"

The official battle means deploying Gourd Island’s native forces to overwhelm Sword Island with strategic advantage and massive local strength.

This is the beginning of the battle.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu briefly closed his eyes.

The battle between Jiuyao and Qi Bei provided ample time for this cross-island operation, ensuring the battle supplies were well transported.

Should the official battle be initiated now?

Once the official battle starts, it might alert the Sword Master and arouse suspicion.

Should the issues in the Spirit Realm be resolved before commencing the battle?

As long as the Spirit Realm is in chaos, the battle can be disguised!

After considering for a while, Lu Xiaobu opened his eyes, his gaze bursting with cold determination: "Xin Lifeng, half a month, I give you half a month. Can you take Sword Island?!"

"Half a month?!"

Xin Lifeng was shocked upon hearing the timeframe, his hair standing on end.

An island, it was an island, and to conquer it within half a month?!

This seemed utterly insane!

Yet, his eyes suddenly lit up with overwhelming battle spirit!

Why not?! Why not?!

How long did it take the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry to sweep across Gourd Island?!

And now, he has not only controlled the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry but also commands the entire native forces of Gourd Island and possesses various equipment and knowledge from the Demon Realm!

Even if he’s not as capable as Lord Lu, under such favorable conditions, can he not accomplish this?!

Thus!

Xin Lifeng was on the verge of explosion; he clenched his right fist tightly and thumped it against his chest: "Yes! Within half a month, I will capture Sword Island for Lord Lu!"

"Good! I appoint you as Great General of Sword Pacification, responsible for all military affairs!" Lu Xiaobu solemnly proclaimed!

"Yes, sir!"

Xin Lifeng saluted again, charged with fervent battle spirit, and exited the palace, reaching the Gathering General Drum, pounding it forcefully.

"Boom boom boom!"

Immediately, the massive native forces gathered here slowly opened their eyes and looked towards Jujiang Mountain.

The majority of them, after a moment of confusion, instantly regained clarity, their fighting spirit boiling!

The day for battle had been long anticipated by them, watching the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry continuously enter the Transmission Array, witnessing the endless stream of supplies leave through the array; their hearts already anxious!

Yet, the command for official battle had not been issued.

So, they could only suppress their anxiety, constantly meditating to kill time.

They too were warriors; although not as outstanding as the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry, they also aspired to expand territories and achieve greatness!

Because, Lord Lu had said, this was not only a campaign but a journey towards wealth.

Imagine, it was an island, an island similar to Gourd Island, how much wealth and opportunities could it contain?!

This was their chance!

Given that without Lord Lu’s backing, only after cultivating to Crossing Tribulation could they have the qualifications to seize those resources!

And now, they had this opportunity, how could they not be thrilled?!

Thus, they prayed for war every day, numerous people questioned Xin Lifeng about when the battle would commence.

They have been eagerly waiting!

And now, seeing Xin Lifeng pounding the Gathering General Drum, they understood!

The moment for official battle had arrived!

Limitless wealth and opportunities were beckoning them!

"Gourd Island warriors, I, Xin Lifeng, appointed by Lord Lu as Great General of Sword Pacification, shall lead you to battle! Through the Transmission Array, step onto Sword Island, to fight, to plunder, to open new territories, Lord Lu will be watching from behind! Now, depart!"

Xin Lifeng shouted loudly.

Instantly, the force of Gourd Island erupted, they cheered, they went wild, they were excited!

Then!

As Xin Lifeng’s words concluded, these people swiftly started moving, organizing into teams as previously discussed, heading towards the Transmission Array.

Lu Xiaobu stood quietly at the palace entrance, watching this scene.

Half a month.

Now the Spirit Realm is in its most intense chaotic period, so according to his calculations, within a month, no one should consider leaving the Spirit Realm.

Moreover, although the Spirit Realm is chaotic now, it’s not the initial great chaos, so the scenario where two people carelessly erupt in battle resulting in one being forced offline due to domain collapse will not occur easily.

So, as long as speed is sufficient, Lu Xiaobu believes he can complete the campaign while the Sword Master’s mind is entirely focused on the Spirit Realm.

By the time the Sword Master realizes, he’ll have ample time to maneuver the situation.

Whether to truly subjugate the Sword Master to him or to incite chaos on different islands, these can all be managed!

Thus, he set this seemingly insane half-month timeframe for Xin Lifeng!

Conquer an island similar to Gourd Island in size within half a month!

This indeed is a rather crazy mission.

But he decided to proceed; otherwise, slowly resolving the Spirit Realm’s issues before initiating battle would hardly escape Lin Feng’s observation!

So, commence the battle!
