Chapter 1896 - 1900: Underlying Currents
Lu Xiaobu gently sighed after a long time.
He dispatched a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry on a dangerous mission, not just to lay the groundwork for victory, but more because of the thoughts of the Iron Cavalry.
How could he not know what they were discussing privately?
He also believed that if he really locked everyone up at that time, these guys could definitely come up with various jailbreak actions beyond his imagination.
Although he had already made the final preparations, he still felt uneasy, which led to this dangerous infiltration operation.
Once they dispersed, although very dangerous, wasn’t it also a kind of protection!
"Alright, no more nonsense then, today, we drink till we’re drunk!"
Lu Xiaobu raised his glass and spoke aloud.
Instantly, the entire banquet was a chaotic mess!
...
It only took Lu Xiaobu half a month to dispatch Xin Lifeng to destroy Sword Island, whereas his banquet took an entire day.
After a day passed, he issued an order.
Set up several Transmission Arrays on Sword Island, each corresponding to all the islands he knew, and then distribute the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry to enter different islands.
This entry into the enemy’s territory had no specific tasks; everything could be decided autonomously.
As soon as this order was given, each member of the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry was exhilarated, while Xin Lifeng and the others were visibly shocked!
They really didn’t understand why Lord Lu issued such an order?
The previous lone infiltration from Gourd Island to Sword Island could be considered a temporary concealment, but now, this was completely a reckless wide net!
Such a wide net obviously had no time limit, leading to an exponential increase in the danger factor.
Even if a misstep occurred, all those transported might soon face the risk of total annihilation.
They really couldn’t comprehend why Lord Lu, who treated the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry as if they were his own flesh and blood, would issue such a mad order?
Was it purely for victory?!
This didn’t fit with Lord Lu’s character at all!
Yet, obviously, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t explain it to them.
Another day later, the well-practiced Little Wisdom quickly set up a dozen Transmission Arrays.
And the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry had already formed their divisions, each awaiting the command to depart.
Lu Xiaobu stood before the Transmission Array without speaking any bold words, merely uttering softly: "Depart."
Subsequently, the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry immediately headed towards their respective Transmission Arrays.
Although Young Master Bu did not issue a specific task goal this time, they all knew what they needed to do.
Time slowly passed, and Lu Xiaobu quietly watched each member of the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry depart from the Transmission Array.
Not long after, the place again returned to an empty state.
The hundred thousand Iron Cavalry that followed him to this new world all left his side and ventured to unknown islands.
...
Spirit Realm.
Lin Feng had already been here for over a week.
During this week, he did nothing but constantly monitored those Mahayana cultivators who were bound to become targets.
He had judged Lu Xiaobu’s actions.
He guessed that Lu Xiaobu might attempt an extremely fast lightning war, aiming to seize the target island before he could react!
Thus, Lu Xiaobu could have the time to plan leisurely.
However, after observing for so long, Lin Feng deeply furrowed his brows.
This isn’t right!
No one has reacted.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Lin Feng couldn’t help but recall his predictions once more.
To execute a lightning war, the first choice would undoubtedly be trusted individuals.
And Lu Xiaobu’s most trusted are evidently his hundred thousand Iron Cavalry!
However, Lu Xiaobu’s hundred thousand Iron Cavalry have an undeniable flaw—the disparity in cultivation!
This is something Lu Xiaobu cannot remedy with any amount of treasures!
Therefore, in pursuit of speed, he would inevitably have to mobilize forces he doesn’t absolutely trust.
Ask yourself, can such a disorganized force avoid causing chaos? Can it avoid attracting attention?
Even a tiny bit of attention, such as hearing the aftermath of a war during Crossing Tribulation, would certainly attract these Mahayana’s attention!
Unless... unless Lu Xiaobu has absolute advanced spies on the target island?!
How is that possible?
He is quite sure that Lu Xiaobu’s coordinates were obtained after arriving in the Spirit Realm!
Also, crucially, Lu Xiaobu’s Transmission Arrays were also acquired in the Spirit Realm; this he definitely confirmed at the time!
So the question arises, before this, without coordinates or Transmission Arrays, how could Lu Xiaobu pre-arrange advanced spies!?
Could it be... Lu Xiaobu didn’t choose lightning war?!
Did he choose steady development?!
To stall me?!
While he was contemplating this, Silver Fox walked up to his side: "Lord Lin, those individuals still haven’t detected any anomalies, but they’ve noticed me monitoring them and have started to show hostility!"
Silver Fox was puzzled, really not understanding why Lin Feng wasn’t seizing the Spirit Realm’s territory and instead continuously stared at those people.
What can you figure out from that?
"Hmm!"
Lin Feng nodded lightly, not giving further instructions.
"Lord Lin, really not fighting for territory?"
Silver Fox couldn’t resist asking again.
"Keep waiting."
Lin Feng waved Silver Fox away.
He silently chanted in his heart—if all else fails, then Plan B must be executed!
...
On another note.
The Lord sat on the throne, eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly waiting for something.
"Your Majesty, the coordinates of Lin Feng’s island have been obtained!"
Number Two reported hurriedly.
Her face showed unparalleled excitement.
"Confirmed?"
The Lord’s eyes suddenly opened wide, a golden light flashed past, then returned to normal.
"Yes, very confirmed, Lin Feng previously attacked an island without concern, even though it was done secretly, a cultivator who crossed tribulation escaped, now this cultivator has been captured by us, and according to his intelligence, Lin Feng’s location on Lin Island has been confirmed!"
Number Two reported extremely earnestly.
Before Lu Xiaobu arrived, Lin Feng besieged an island of a former Brahma League member to prove something.
And recently, they obtained information that a cultivator who crossed tribulation escaped from the island Lin Feng attacked.
Immediately, the Lord dispatched people to confirm the news’s authenticity!
Now the result was out.
Lin Feng, Lin Feng, even your own island’s coordinates exposed, let’s see how you perish now!
Thinking about this, Number Two spoke again: "Your Majesty, shall we dispatch forces to annihilate that Lin Island?"
Upon hearing Number Two’s proposal, the Lord fell into brief contemplation, fingers lightly stroking the armrest of the throne, constantly speculating about possible events!
