Chapter 2711: The Bet
The words of the Eternal Divine Emperor were spoken, and everyone nodded in agreement once more.
Everyone here is an Earth-level Powerhouse, and they can generally sense each other’s aura.
If Su Yang and his side make a big move, gathering a large number of people to rush to those strongholds, the Guardian God will surely detect it before they even arrive and immediately prepare to resist.
This stealth attack is simply meaningless among those of their strength.
Therefore, at their level, battles are fought head-to-head, and they have never considered tactics commonly used in warfare. Because, most of those tactics are meaningless.
You can’t launch a sneak attack on your opponent, and neither can your opponent on you, so tactics are basically useless.
Now, the plan proposed by Su Yang is not wrong; indeed, the opponent is not prepared for a sneak attack. But the problem is, as long as your people approach the enemy’s strongholds, they will immediately sense it.
In such circumstances, how can you launch a sneak attack on the opponent?
"Su Alliance Leader, you have reached the Intermediate Earth-level, don’t you understand how Earth-level Powerhouses battle?" The Immortal Venerable said sarcastically, "As the leader of the Human Clan, you shouldn’t propose such ideas!"
"Changsheng, what are you saying!" The Nine-headed Demon Yuan immediately shouted angrily, "If Su Alliance Leader says so, there must be a deep meaning to it. Who do you think you are to dare doubt Su Alliance Leader’s plan!"
Ever since the last time the Nine-headed Demon Yuan met Qi’er, he became completely obedient, now acting like Su Yang’s lackey, utterly supporting Su Yang. Although he also felt this stealth attack plan was unrealistic, on the surface, he absolutely supported Su Yang.
No choice, the Nine-headed Demon Yuan used to be just a gatekeeper for Qi’er. Before Qi’er appeared, he could indeed stir up some trouble; but now that Qi’er is here, he has become completely obedient, not daring to cause trouble anymore.
The Immortal Venerable glanced disdainfully at the Nine-headed Demon Yuan, not taking him seriously at all. In his view, Su Yang is merely a spokesperson pushed forward by the Strongest, not really one of them. When the Strongest return, Su Yang will be nothing.
Additionally, due to his grudges with the Female Sword Saint and his enmity with Su Yang, he harbors deep resentment towards Su Yang. In such circumstances, he naturally keeps finding ways to target Su Yang. Although he doesn’t dare confront Su Yang directly, he often makes sarcastic remarks.
Su Yang completely ignored the Immortal Venerable. He looked at everyone and said loudly, "Earth-level Powerhouses can’t launch a sneak attack on each other. This, I do not agree with. If we can suddenly rush to the opponent’s stronghold without them noticing and strike suddenly, wouldn’t that be a sneak attack?"
The crowd exchanged glances; although that’s what he said, the problem is, how can you cross over without being detected by their Divine Sense?
At this level, the Divine Sense can perceive everything, and its sensing range is also extremely wide.
You can’t evade the opponent’s Divine Sense, and they can’t evade yours. How do you launch a sneak attack?
"Su Alliance Leader, battling Earth-level Powerhouses isn’t about mere talk!" The Immortal Venerable sneered again, "Suddenly rushing to the opponent’s stronghold? Haha, Su Alliance Leader, easy to say, hard to do!"
"What if I say I can do it?" Su Yang replied calmly.
"You can do it?" The Immortal Venerable stared at Su Yang, "How can you do it? Come, explain it to me!"
"I ask you, what if I can do it?" Su Yang said.
Everyone present looked at the Immortal Venerable in unison. The Immortal Venerable sneered, "What if you can’t?"
"If I can’t, I’ll give you the position of the Human Clan leader!" Su Yang said loudly.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room gasped in shock, wasn’t this causing too much of a stir?
A sharp glint flashed in the Immortal Venerable’s eyes; he was quite dissatisfied with Su Yang and indeed wanted to push Su Yang off the stage.
However, he quickly restrained his expression. He knew well that Su Yang was chosen by the Strongest. If he did such a thing, he’d be confronting the Strongest, and he dared not provoke the Strongest!
So, ultimately, he took a deep breath and waved it off, saying, "Su Alliance Leader, we’re just discussing; no need to get worked up. I can’t bear the position of Human Clan leader. It was the Strongest’s decision for you to lead, don’t disappoint their good intentions!"
"It’s fine; if I lose, I will personally go to speak with the Strongest. There won’t be any issue!" Su Yang leisurely said, "But I still say this: if you lose, what should you do?"
"Is there even a need to say? How could I possibly lose?" The Immortal Venerable looked at everyone and laughed, "Anyone with common sense knows such a sneak attack won’t work!"
"You never dare say what you’ll do if you lose. Is it that you’re afraid of betting, or what?" Su Yang laughed, "Are you scared because I seem confident?"
The Immortal Venerable’s face turned chilly, and he said in a deep voice, "Why should I be afraid? Su Alliance Leader, since you want to bet so much, then let’s bet. You don’t need to give up your leader position; if you lose, don’t put on the leader’s airs in front of me anymore, and treat me and my people with utmost respect, how about it!"
"Fine!" Su Yang said with a smile, nodding, "If you lose, I don’t need you to publicly apologize to me. However, from now on, whatever I say, you will obey unconditionally!"
"No problem!" The Immortal Venerable immediately nodded, full of confidence.
After all, from the ancient past to now, for so many years, in battles of such levels, there has never been a concept of a sneak attack. Su Yang attempting this is simply impossible!
"Then it’s settled!" Su Yang nodded and said loudly, "Please, everyone, bear witness!"
Everyone agreed, eager for a spectacle, as it didn’t involve them directly.
In fact, more people wanted to see Su Yang make a fool of himself.
After all, many shared the Immortal Venerable’s thought that Su Yang was merely a figurehead chosen by the Strongest, without much respect for him. If Su Yang could embarrass himself, they would very much like to see it.
Su Yang looked at the crowd, secretly smirking.
He was well aware of their thoughts.
This bet with the Immortal Venerable was intended to give these people a warning.
He knew most people didn’t acknowledge him, and the Immortal Venerable was the most outspoken among them. Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to completely bring down the Immortal Venerable and set an example for others, so they wouldn’t dare to act up again!
