Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#532 - Unclear situation

The Overlord of Ba Fengyun laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Well said! However, Li Chengfeng's cultivation methods and secret arts must still be shared. As for the Substitute Puppet and the treasures for escape, we shall not delay any longer."

"Fellow Daoists, immediately follow Brother Xie Kui to the far north. We must make this a swift and decisive battle."

"Black Witch, you will depart later, leading twenty thousand elite Demon troops and the Demon Eagle Legion as reinforcements. Ensure that everything is foolproof and that we deliver a fatal blow!"

Black Witch, his hunched back suddenly straightened, chuckled eerily, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes, and respectfully accepted the order: "As you command, Overlord. This time, Li Chengfeng and his ilk will never return. The far north will become their burial ground!"

With the order issued, the war machine of the Demon and Evil Dragon races quietly began to mobilize.

They did not alarm anyone, and the other forces of the Evil Dragon race remained still. Only the Demon race was gathering a force powerful enough to change the course of the war.

This force, even against Li Chengfeng's hundred thousand elite troops, would be more than enough to completely bury them beneath the ice and snow of the far north.

On one side of the Human race camp stood a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. Atop the peak, two figures stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing into the distance.

The first was Long Xing, who had regained his former glory. Having achieved great military exploits this time, he not only received generous rewards but also further enhanced his strength.

He gazed into the distance and said in a deep voice, "According to intelligence reports, the Demon race has new movements, seemingly directed towards the far north. Their intentions are unclear."

"It is also rumored that the Evil Dragon race is restless, seeking to welcome their true master—the Evil Dragon's descent upon the mortal realm."

"Although few in number, they all possess true Dragon blood, which is truly inspiring."

"I, Long Xing, vow to capture a dragon to prove my name!"

Standing beside Long Xing was his Vice-General, Suo Long, who had just been promoted and had also made immortal contributions.

Suo Long wore a gray robe, his expression languid, one eye wrapped in a cloth, his chin resting lightly on his hand, a blade of grass in his mouth.

However, his gaze was sharply directed towards the Demon race. "The Demon race's troop movements this time are extraordinary, with their elites fully mobilized and heading straight for the far north. I fear something significant will happen there."

Suo Long's lips curled into a playful smile. "As for what it is, allow me to ponder it carefully."

Since being dispatched to the front lines, facing the Demon army directly, Long Xing and Suo Long had experienced several battles. In each battle, Suo Long's meticulous planning led to the Demon race suffering setbacks. Suo Long's name quickly spread among the Human race, earning him the title of "Invincible General."

Suddenly, Suo Long's eyes sharpened, as if he had discerned the truth. "I understand!"

He blurted out.

Long Xing was impatient. "If you know, say it quickly. Stop being mysterious!"

Suo Long laughed and said, "The Demon race believes that Li Chengfeng has undoubtedly led the forces of the Sea Alliance to the far north.

That man is incredibly cunning. Although the far north is remote, it is rich in resources and has no power struggles, making it an excellent choice for him to establish his own kingdom.

His ambition is so great that even I am ashamed of myself."

Long Xing's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "But the Demon race has almost emptied its forces this time, and with the addition of the Evil Dragon race and the native rebel army, the Sea Alliance's forces may suffer heavy losses.

They are far from the deep sea, heading to the harsh far north, which is no different from throwing themselves into a trap.

Although Li Chengfeng is full of clever plans, he has overlooked that war cannot be controlled by one person alone. It requires teamwork, supplies must come first, and opportunities are fleeting."

Suo Long spat out the grass in his mouth, a hint of disdain and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He sat up and said to Long Xing, "General, you misunderstand me.

I am not belittling Li Chengfeng, but analyzing the situation.

I admit that Li Chengfeng is a remarkable strategist. His every move is full of variables, making him unpredictable.

But this time, my intuition tells me that he is not really heading for the far north.

The reason you think he will go to the far north is because you see the resources and strategic value there."

Suo Long continued, "But Li Chengfeng never acts according to common sense.

He is better at exploiting the enemy's blind spots and creating unexpected attacks.

Although the far north is tempting, it is also a trap. The Demon and Evil Dragon races have deployed heavy troops there, waiting for someone to take the bait."

Long Xing frowned, thinking about Suo Long's words, but he still felt somewhat unwilling. "But, Suo Long, Li Chengfeng's past achievements...

He has always won with fewer troops and defeated the strong with the weak. Won't he take this opportunity to once again demonstrate his intelligence and courage?"

Suo Long shook his head, a complex smile on his lips. "Long Xing, don't forget that although Li Chengfeng is young and vigorous, he is also an extremely rational person.

He will not put his entire force in danger for a moment's impulse. I believe he must have a deeper plan."

"As for the Evil Dragon race's descent of the true dragons that you mentioned, that is indeed a tempting challenge," Suo Long continued. "But Li Chengfeng will not blindly touch this hard nail.

He is more likely to be waiting for an opportunity to completely defeat the Evil Dragon race."

Long Xing was silent for a moment, and he had to admit that Suo Long's analysis made a lot of sense.

He sighed and said, "Perhaps you are right, Suo Long.

We cannot simply assume Li Chengfeng's actions based on speculation. Then let us wait and see what kind of plan he will come up with."

Suo Long nodded, lay back on the grass, and put a blade of grass in his mouth again. "Don't worry, Long Xing.

That guy Li Chengfeng never disappoints us.

If he really knowingly goes to the mountain where the tiger dwells, then he is not Li Chengfeng."

Long Xing couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "You brat, you always ridicule others, but this time you have full confidence in Li Chengfeng."

Suo Long suddenly jumped up, his emotions agitated, as if he wanted to pour out all the doubts and unwillingness in his heart: "Long Xing, listen to me, I am not defending that scoundrel Li Chengfeng.

But in this world, no one knows Li Chengfeng better than I, Suo Long!

He is my greatest opponent in the human realm since I crossed realms.

I am helping you humans resist the enemy in order to find belonging in this land and realize my ambitions.

But I always feel like my path is blocked by something. Don't look at my glorious appearance, but when I encounter Li Chengfeng, I feel like I have fallen into an ice cave, losing battle after battle.

I began to reflect, why did I lose? After countless deductions and deliberations, I finally realized a truth—that scoundrel Li Chengfeng never acts according to common sense!

His mind is more difficult to grasp than the undercurrents of the sea, making people unable to defend against him, which is really annoying and hateful!"

He paused, his gaze turning to the distance, as if piercing through the layers of mist, staring directly at the unknown battlefield: "The Demon race and the Evil Dragon race, these guys have ruthless methods and far-reaching plans, but Li Chengfeng is best at attacking unexpectedly and catching them off guard.

I originally thought he would lead the crowd and fight alongside us, steadily and surely, but who would have thought that he would actually establish himself as king and open up another battlefield in the Profound Light Continent! Tell me, am I too naive?"

Long Xing frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Suo Long, why do you have this idea? Although Li Chengfeng's actions are strange, he has always been known for concealing his whereabouts and waiting for an opportunity to act. This time, he is making a big show, which is indeed puzzling.

However, you mentioned that he is 'making a feint to the east while attacking in the west.' Perhaps this is his brilliance.

He seems to be going against his original intention, but in fact, he has other plans, but we have not yet seen through them."

Suo Long smiled bitterly, patted his slightly thin chest, and mocked himself: "Yes, I have been tormented by this damn thief recently, so much so that I can't eat or sleep. Haven't you noticed that I have lost weight?

This kid is really both lovable and hateful.

However, that is precisely why this game is even more interesting, isn't it? I want to see what tricks Li Chengfeng can play!"
