Chapter 1269: Beware of Lin Wudi!
At one time, Eastern Luo King, who was supposed to be the center of the event, became a marginal figure, ignored by everyone.
The atmosphere among the three overlords was tense, with swords drawn.
"Zai Si, let’s join forces! Lin Wudi is too strange; he must die!"
General Wei Chi communicated with the Zai Si Patriarch.
Currently, Lin Wudi was not just a six-Tribulation Overlord attacking in reverse as simply as before.
Forcefully opening a spatial passage in the Forbidden Sand Sea had overturned Wei Chi’s previous judgments about Lin Wudi.
With such a strange enemy, if he doesn’t die, General Wei Chi would feel uneasy.
The Zai Si Patriarch sneered and communicated, "Aren’t you afraid that joining forces with that mysterious organization is like scheming with a tiger? If they take advantage when both of us and Lin Wudi are weakened and let their subordinates take action, our few subordinates wouldn’t be able to stop them!"
Currently, the combined five-Tribulation Overlords of both Heavenly Realm Guard and the Black List are not even a fraction compared to the Heaven’s Mandate Organization.
Zai Si’s suspicion was quite justified.
However, General Wei Chi sneered, "Then what do you suggest? Do you plan to fight them head-on now?"
Zai Si remained silent.
The situation was stronger than the people; they had no effective way to deal with the Heaven’s Mandate Organization.
Hundreds of overlords made them cautious.
"Damn it! I don’t even know how that ghost organization could afford to lose so many Tribulation Thunder Thoughts! Of the Tribulation Thunder Thoughts that can safely enter the Stone Gate Realm, barely one in ten survives, and that ghost organization almost lost as many Tribulation Thunder Thoughts as all our Black List experts combined!"
The Zai Si Patriarch cursed angrily but nodded, agreeing to cooperate!
The Hunting Squad Captain laughed, "Good, those who adapt to the times are wise! I am very satisfied that you both agreed to cooperate!"
The condescending tone made both General Wei Chi and the Zai Si Patriarch very displeased.
Both of them are said to hold high positions: one is the Heavenly Realm Guard Grand General, and the other is the Black List Leader.
They have always looked down on others, but now, they were despised by someone from the mysterious organization.
This made both of them very unhappy.
The Hunting Squad Captain took a step back at an appropriate time, and with his group of overlords, disappeared from sight.
General Wei Chi and the Zai Si Patriarch exchanged a glance and left one after another!
...
At the Heaven’s Mandate Organization’s headquarters.
"Captain, why do we need to cooperate with them?"
A puzzled overlord asked.
The Heaven’s Mandate Organization was just a loosely connected group for benefits, without any true hierarchy.
Even though the Hunting Squad Captain was a six-Tribulation Overlord, his decision still faced skepticism.
The Hunting Squad Captain laughed lightly, "Call me Luo Chen. We are all part of the organization, so there’s no need for formal titles like ’Captain’."
After saying this, the expressions of the surrounding overlords improved a lot.
The Hunting Squad Captain, Luo Chen, continued, "You were all mistaken, actually, I was mistaken at first too!"
Seeing the surrounding overlords still puzzled, Luo Chen sneered, "Because we don’t have to worry about the ownership of the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars at all! Do you think, after Heavenly Realm Guard and the Black List obtain the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars, they have any chance of taking them out of the Forbidden Sand Sea?"
An overlord pondered, "The chances shouldn’t be high! Leaving the Stone Gate Realm, they will encounter Ghost Specter, facing certain death..."
"Exactly, without life talismans, encountering Ghost Specter means only the path to death!"
This is where the advantage of the Heaven’s Mandate Organization lies.
Compared to Heavenly Realm Guard and the Black List, they have an additional life talisman.
As long as they have talismans, they can freely enter and exit Ghost Specter.
General Wei Chi and the Zai Si Patriarch had misunderstood the cost for the Heaven’s Mandate Organization to enter the Forbidden Sand Sea.
Compared to the one-in-ten survival rate of Heavenly Realm Guard and the Black List, the Heaven’s Mandate Organization had zero loss entering the Stone Gate Realm!
Now the only regret for Luo Chen was that he had only used a dozen Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to enter the Forbidden Sand Sea.
If hundreds had entered, there would be no need to join forces with Heavenly Realm Guard and the Black List!
𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Yes, quite true! Finally, regardless of whether Heavenly Realm Guard or the Black List obtains the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars, as long as we offer them a safe exit and the temptation of the Ninth Tribulation, they will surely hand over the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars!"
Luo Chen spoke with a smile.
All the overlords present finally realized.
Indeed, in the Heavenly Realm, no one can resist the temptation of the Ninth Tribulation, not even the Heavenly Realm Guard!
Thus, even before the battle begins, the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars actually already belong exclusively to the Heaven’s Mandate Organization.
"Haha, Captain, you truly deserve to be the Hunting Squad Captain, so wise indeed!"
After Luo Chen’s explanation, the other overlords respected him even more.
In the Heaven’s Mandate Organization, wisdom was valued more than strength.
These overlords all considered that once they obtained the Nine Tripod Fragments, they would surely evolve to the Ninth Tribulation.
Their current state was only temporary.
Listening to the overlords’ flattery, Luo Chen still felt no relief in his heart.
Lin Wudi, having returned, clearly had the chance to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea and didn’t, making him uneasy.
After the crowd dispersed, he summoned an inconspicuous Second Thunder Tribulation within the team.
"Luo Feng, tomorrow I will arrange for you to gather intelligence. Take the opportunity to leave the Stone Gate Realm, go beyond the Forbidden Sand Sea, and contact Overlord of the Azure Realm, then return with his Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to the Forbidden Sand Sea!"
Luo Feng was one of Luo Chen’s descendants, considered an absolute confidant, and upon hearing this, his eyes widened in shock.
Overlord of the Azure Realm was a Seventh Tribulation Overlord invited by Luo Chen from the Heaven’s Mandate Organization.
He hadn’t expected Luo Chen, who had shown full confidence to the other overlords, secretly sent him to invite Overlord of the Azure Realm to take action.
Luo Chen sighed, "Better safe than sorry. Lin Wudi has me uneasy, only with the action of a Seventh Tribulation Overlord can we ensure absolutely no mistakes!"
The Great Fate Bearer is not a joke.
If not for the opportunity to advance to the Ninth Tribulation, Luo Chen would never provoke a Great Fate Bearer like Lin Wudi.
Now, Lin Wudi acted strangely, not only returned but actively challenged the three of them.
This made Luo Chen’s heart unable to settle.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t believe that with three Six-Tribulation Overlords, and hundreds of Five-Tribulation Overlords, they couldn’t capture a mere Three Tribulations junior.
But when it comes to Lin Wudi, he had no confidence!
"Ancestor, I understand!"
Luo Feng respectfully accepted the command.
...
The next day, Luo Chen issued orders for all Second Thunder Tribulations and Third Thunder Tribulations to go out and gather intelligence.
On entering the Forbidden Sand Sea, the main task of Second Thunder Tribulations and Third Thunder Tribulations was just to carry the overlords’ Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.
Now, they had no further use, gathering intelligence was merely a way to utilize them as discarded goods.
Luo Feng took the opportunity to leave the main group and flew towards Inner Sea City.
He spared no effort in burning Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, rushing madly, and after about half a month, finally arrived at Inner Sea City.
"This ghost place of the Forbidden Sand Sea is simply uninhabitable..."
As Inner Sea City came into view, Luo Feng casually muttered a complaint, only to see four figures appear ahead.
"Nan Weiyun!"
Luo Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted, shocked as he looked at the leading figure ahead of the four.
Nan Weiyun grinned, "Heh... Eastern Luo King was really right, Heaven’s Mandate Organization actually has a safe way to go in and out of the Forbidden Sand Sea!"
While saying this, Nan Weiyun and the three Second Thunder Tribulations beside him all had bright eyes.
"Hand over the means to safely enter and exit the Forbidden Sand Sea, and I may spare your life!"
