Chapter 211: A New Battle Plan

Chapter 211: A New Battle Plan

The heavens trembled.

The Great Venerable's full-strength attack vanished in an instant.

Zhu Zhuangshi patted his wide sleeves, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Now, Old Zhu should be able to easily defeat the Big Black Dog!"

Recently, they had been bullied by the Big Black Dog.

Now, they finally had a chance to vent their frustration.

The other three's faces were solemn, the sacred light in their eyes gradually fading.

The remaining Ancient Gods on the field were stunned, the impact of what they had just witnessed lingering in their hearts.

The scene was too shocking.

It was a Great Venerable!

The full-strength attack of a Great Venerable had been effortlessly blocked.

The crowd on the field fell silent, shocked.

Was this a myth?

Obviously, it wasn't!

Although they hadn't seen myth-level God Contemplation Techniques, the power was definitely not this exaggerated.

It was the full-strength attack of a true Great Venerable, and even four Venerables at the first and second steps of Sky Striding would be unable to withstand it, even if they had awakened Divine Domain Seeds.

The scene before them exceeded their imagination.

No wonder the Origin Tianzun had come to the Cai Kingdom; he must have known about this long ago.

The figure of the Origin Tianzun in their eyes became even more majestic.

Just then, a voice reached their ears, falling into the ears of the Ancient Gods on the field.

"Qualified NPCs shouldn't be shocked so easily; it's easy to be eliminated by the times.

Mastering a skill is important.

Otherwise, you might be eliminated by society at a young age, unable to find work before you even turn thirty-five.

Chef? Musician? Mourner?"

"Which one do you want to choose? I'll teach you!

These three are particularly easy to find employment in, so you don't have to worry about being eliminated by the times."

The Ancient Gods on the field were stunned, their shock instantly dissipating.

The twin sister looked at him helplessly. "Sir, we should hurry and escape.

If that Great Venerable chases after us, it'll definitely be a life-and-death battle!"

The other Ancient Gods nodded in agreement.

The Great Venerable's full-strength attack had been blocked.

However, if that Great Venerable pursued them with hundreds of Evil Gods, they would still face a difficult situation.

"We can leave, but what about the Thunder God Great Venerable?" Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided not to worry about the Thunder God Great Venerable.

As long as this old man wasn't too foolish, he would likely return to the capital city of Cai after discovering what had happened there.

"Let's go."

They transformed into streams of light and headed towards Qing Shui Village.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, an elder wore a golden mask on his head, adorned with various strange patterns.

Through the mask, one could see a pair of cold eyes.

"My attack... was blocked?" He was surprised, or perhaps shocked.

The opponent was merely a Venerable, and the four of them together had blocked his attack.

No wonder he was astonished.

"Commander, should we pursue them?" asked a New Deity at the third step of Sky Striding, his eyes anxious.

After all, they couldn't just let those Ancient Gods escape.

Although they didn't know how those Ancient Gods had managed to block the Great Venerable's attack, their camp had numerous True Deities, led by the commander, who could easily annihilate those Ancient Gods.

"No," the commander said firmly.

The situation before them was suspicious.

Each of their True Deities had Divine Domain Seeds, which was too absurd.

These True Deities, wherever they were, would be considered heaven-defying talents.

How could such True Deities suddenly appear in the fallen zone and be used as assassins? There was something fishy about this, perhaps a plot against him.

The deputy, upon hearing this, felt a sense of loss, as the military merits he had almost obtained were now slipping away.

If the Great Venerable took action, he was confident he could capture those twenty Ancient Gods.

At this moment, the commander turned to the deputy and narrowed his eyes. "You take a few True Deities and capture them."

"Huh?" The deputy was stunned.

You're not kidding, right?

You want me to go?

...

The wide road stretched out, with divine creatures flying by from time to time.

In a tavern by the roadside, a sign was posted.

"Today's special: Buy three drinks, get three free."

A bulky figure stopped in front of the tavern, studying the sign. He sniffed the air with his nose.

Instantly, a rich aroma filled the air.

"Before embarking on a great task, one must drink heartily!" The bulky figure thought, "Shopkeeper, bring me three jars of fine wine!"

"Coming right up!"

The bulky figure sat down, and his eyes seemed to flash with purple lightning. "It seems Heaven's Destiny is looking out for me.

If I hadn't gotten lost, I might have run into that Great Venerable."

The bulky figure was none other than the Thunder God Great Venerable.

After leaving Qing Shui Village, he had been cautious, concealing his identity as he made his way to the Cai Kingdom, all to catch Zhang Feng off guard.

On his journey, he encountered an Ancient God and took the opportunity to gather information.

That Ancient God had directed him down the wrong path, causing him to waste quite a bit of time.

However, this detour also helped him avoid the Great Venerable's battle.

Not long ago, as he approached the Cai Kingdom, he had witnessed the Great Venerable's battle from afar.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared about such matters.

But now, heavily injured and needing to conceal his identity, he couldn't afford to be detected by the Great Venerable.

Exactly because of getting lost, he was delayed, causing him to miss the battle between the Great Venerables.

This made him feel like he had a heavenly destiny.

"I wonder which two Great Venerables are fighting," Thundergod Grand Venerable pondered.

But after thinking about it, he didn't dwell on it further, as long as it didn't interfere with his important matters.

With the wine on the table, Thundergod Grand Venerable opened the wine jar and poured himself a full bowl.

As he drank, he felt exceptionally refreshed.

The wine flowed into his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a bit more melancholy: "According to the timing, that kid should have just left the Ancestral Ground not long ago.

That guy from Lishan should have stopped him, right?"

Thundergod Grand Venerable sighed, his mind feeling dazed.

This time, he had come to assassinate Zhang Feng, and had even given his storage bag to Xiaoxue, leaving him penniless.

He had even thrown away his communication jade slip, afraid that his old friend would dissuade him, causing him to back down.

This time, he was here to drink, but what about the money for the wine?

Pay for it?

Pfft! Anyway, he was going to die, and he still had to assassinate Zhang Feng. Having a free drink once wouldn't be a problem, would it?

Soon, he had finished three jars of wine: "Shopkeeper, isn't it three drinks for the price of three?"

"Coming!" Soon, the shopkeeper brought three more jars of wine, the elderly shopkeeper with a spring breeze on his face, looking like he had some good news.

"Shopkeeper, do you have some good news?" Thundergod Grand Venerable couldn't help but ask.

Thundergod Grand Venerable really wanted to say that as soon as he finished assassinating Zhang Feng, it would be double happiness.

The citizens of the Mundane Heart World mostly detested the Evil Deity.

When it came to traitors like Zhang Feng, they were even more despised behind their backs.

"Great news." The shopkeeper glanced at Thundergod Grand Venerable, "You don't worship the New Deity?"

"I don't worship, how could I possibly worship that dog-raising New Deity?" Thundergod Grand Venerable said heartily.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone called the New Deity a dog-raising deity, they definitely weren't from the New Deity's camp.

"The sky of Cai Kingdom... has changed."

"Huh?" Thundergod Grand Venerable's hand holding the bowl froze in mid-air.

"Zhang Feng is dead."

"What?" Thundergod Grand Venerable was startled.

He had prepared to assassinate Zhang Feng, but now he was being told that Zhang Feng was dead?

The shopkeeper looked at Thundergod Grand Venerable's surprised face and smiled, "Not long ago, a voice rang out in the sky, executing Zhang Feng, and those who stood in the way would die.

So, many Ancient Deities rushed towards Cai Kingdom and killed Zhang Feng.

After the killing, those people left.

As a result, the Demon Deity camp's commander unleashed a full-power strike, but was stopped by those people.

Now, those Ancient Deities have fled, probably to the north."

The shopkeeper pointed in a direction: "Those Ancient Deities came from that direction, and after the killing, they returned in that direction."

Thundergod Grand Venerable was completely stunned.

Who was stealing his kill?

Were there such fierce people in the occupied zone?

"Such a Righteous Deity... I admire him." Thundergod Grand Venerable was a bit dazed.

The person he wanted to kill had been killed by someone else, and he felt a bit lost.

"That Righteous Deity is truly a valiant hero! Traveling thousands of miles, killing a deity, and then leaving without a care for life or death!" The shopkeeper praised, sighing.

Obviously, the citizens of Cai Kingdom mostly felt ashamed of Zhang Feng.

In the occupied zone, such a satisfying event was indeed rare.

These ordinary people lived in constant fear.

You never knew when they would hold a Child's Banquet or some other kind of feast.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Demon Deity, they were all like domesticated food, delicious and mouth-watering.

"That Righteous Deity is truly a great hero! Traveling far and wide, killing a deity, and then leaving without a care for life or death!" The shopkeeper praised, sighing.

Obviously, the citizens of Cai Kingdom mostly felt ashamed of Zhang Feng.

In the occupied zone, such a satisfying event was indeed rare.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Demon Deity, they were all like domesticated food, delicious and mouth-watering.

Thundergod Grand Venerable heard this and his expression turned dazed.

Such exaggerated praise should have been used for him.

As a result, even killing a traitor was stolen from him!

Thundergod Grand Venerable felt regretful and was momentarily without a target.

Could it be... that he should go to the Demon Deity camp?

Thundergod Grand Venerable expressed his admiration for the Ancient Deity who had killed Zhang Feng, not following the rules of martial arts!

Obviously, he had wanted to kill him first.

"That Righteous Deity is also a wonderful deity.

After killing Zhang Feng, he shouted to the entire city's citizens, inviting them to a feast."

Haha... eating Zhang Feng's feast, I wonder if this old man will have the chance in this lifetime." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles.

Thundergod Grand Venerable, who was beside him, was completely stunned: "What! A feast!"

The word 'feast' in Thundergod Grand Venerable's past memories was quite distant.

Or perhaps, he might not have heard it more than a few times in his entire life.

But after coming to Qing Shui Village, the word he heard the most was 'feast'.

Now, hearing it again, his heart stirred.

Could it be... that the Ancient Deity who killed Zhang Feng was Qi Yuan!

Impossible!

That kid wasn't a Purple Mansion expert, was he?

Wasn't he still in the Ancestral Ground?

Even if he broke through to True Deity in the Ancestral Ground, he couldn't have boldly killed Zhang Feng and stopped a Great Venerable.

No matter how he thought about it, it was absurd.

But this style of action was indeed very similar to that kid.

Suddenly, Thundergod Grand Venerable remembered something, the direction the shopkeeper had pointed to... seemed to be Lin Kingdom, right?

Thinking of this, his heart trembled.

Could it really be that kid?

His thoughts were complex, and he really wanted to take out a communication jade slip to ask about the situation.

But then he realized he had nothing on him.

As the thought crossed his mind, he quickly entered the Visualization Land and asked in the group chat.

"Lishan Grand Venerable, are you there? I have a question for you!"

"Oh, Thundergod Grand Venerable, you're here!"

"Thundergod Grand Venerable, was the Ancient Deity who visualized eight myths yesterday one of your disciples?"

"Thundergod Grand Venerable, where are you now? I've found the Sky-Striding Wood you needed last time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Thundergod Grand Venerable was left dumbfounded.

Why were all the members of the group suddenly greeting him?

Eight myths? Who visualized eight myths?

His disciple? He was completely bewildered.

Could it be...

A terrifying thought took root in his mind.

At that moment, Lishan Grand Venerable finally appeared: "Thundergod Grand Venerable, are you still there? Wonderful, you... Hurry back!"

In the group chat, Lishan Grand Venerable didn't elaborate further.

Regarding Thundergod Grand Venerable and Qing Shui Village, they must continue to remain hidden, not allowing the Demon Deities to discover the truth.

After all, those eight myths had yet to fully mature.

If exposed, the Demon Deity army might very well annihilate them in their cradle.

Hearing Lishan Grand Venerable's words, Thundergod Grand Venerable's mind was filled with a million questions.

He wanted to ask more, but remembering the presence of other Ancient Deities, he suppressed his doubts.

Exiting the group chat, Thundergod Grand Venerable furrowed his brows, still deep in thought: "Eight myths... Could it be him?"

If it was... it was truly too exaggerated.

"Is this kid really a genius?"

If so, it would be easier to understand.

Qi Yuan didn't want to see him perish, so he came personally to eliminate Zhang Feng.

"How could he be more reckless than me!" Thundergod Grand Venerable slapped his thigh, "This has been exposed!"

He was extremely anxious.

Qi Yuan had been too reckless, attacking right after visualizing eight myths.

This matter would undoubtedly catch the attention of the Demon Deity army.

It's over.

...

In Feiwu City, several figures landed on the ground.

Qi Yuan looked at the city's residents still feasting and said to the Ancient Deities beside him.

"After working for so long, you must be tired. Go and replenish your energy."

The other Ancient Deities exchanged glances.

"Senior, shouldn't we discuss how to deal with the Demon Deities?" Shuang Sheng Mei, the straightforward twin sister, asked directly.

Currently, they had rushed over a long distance to kill Zhang Feng and were now fleeing.

It was a bold move, but it had undoubtedly caught the attention of the Demon Deity camp.

The numerous Demon Deities in the camp would surely reinforce their troops and surround them.

After all, even setting aside the matter of the myths, the mere presence of over twenty Venerables who had awakened their Divine Domains was enough for the Demon Deities to take them seriously.

"You're right!" Qi Yuan nodded earnestly.

This put the Ancient Deities at ease, as Qi Yuan wasn't being reckless.

"Now, Qing Shui Village has become stronger.

We can't just sit and wait for death; we should take the initiative and strike first. It's time to put my brilliant mind to use and devise a brand-new battle plan!" Qi Yuan spoke, his mind already formulating strategies.

Qi Yuan's words once again left the Ancient Deities baffled.

They should be discussing how to respond to the Demon Deity attack, whether to flee, hide, or engage in guerilla warfare.

But now... they were taking the initiative to attack?

"Senior... isn't this a bit hasty?" Shuang Sheng Jie, the twin sister, couldn't help but speak up.

Shuang Sheng Jie's thoughts echoed those of the other Ancient Deities; it was time to avoid confrontation.

They had already gained enough in Ancestral Ground.

It was time to quickly consume resources and enhance the strength of their followers.

Especially for those eight True Deities who had obtained the myth-level God Contemplation Technique, they needed to swiftly utilize resources to elevate their power.

Only then could Qing Shui Village's strength truly be considered enhanced.

"Not at all," Qi Yuan shook his head, "I have many enemies, and when they act, they drag their feet, taking decades to accomplish a task.

In the end, these enemies will all be annihilated by me!"

For instance, Qi Yuan suspected that the Black Mountain Sect wanted to attack Bluestar and dig up his ancestral graves.

But the Black Mountain Sect dragged their feet, delaying their actions, which only made Qi Yuan lose sleep. He promptly devised a plan and annihilated the Black Mountain Sect.

The Bright Palace was the same.

They constantly pressured the Great Merchant Empire to hand over Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu.

But they set a deadline, which was truly foolish.

If it were Qi Yuan, he would set no deadline and directly annihilate the Bright Palace.

This way, Qi Yuan wouldn't have time to develop.

If this were to happen in Bluestar's history, Qi Yuan, as a Yuan Dynasty general, would lead ten thousand soldiers to shatter the begging bowl of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The longer the time, the more variables, so we must strike with lightning speed and annihilate the surrounding Demon Deities!"

Qi Yuan spoke earnestly, his words logical and well-reasoned.

The Ancient Deities around him were all left speechless.

"I have a new plan, called Three-Day Annihilation of a Hundred Deities!"

Seeing that his words seemed to have convinced the group, Qi Yuan quickly struck while the iron was hot.
