Chapter 776: The Ye Sisters' Wager (Part 2)
Why did the early Demon Gods all shrink back and not dare to come out? Because there was malice between them, like when Destruction was severely injured and Snow Eagle happened to be around, its outcome was very ugly; when Bodhisattva was injured, it was also a good thing for Jiuyou, as it could snatch its True Illusion Mirror. Everyone was like this.
If the Blind One and Jiuyou truly went to war, it's hard to predict what the battle would be like. If both were to suffer losses, in this tumultuous era, they could easily lose control or even have their efforts taken by others.
So the two preferred to chat rather than fight. Only, the Blind One could chat leisurely forever, but Jiuyou, could she?
Jiuyou could also... but they were watching other battlefields, to see whose side collapses first.
Below, the torches were bright, and the sounds of battle cries gradually floated up to the sky.
When the Qinghe Sword was temporarily ineffective, and Desolate Calamity was suppressing Cui Wenjing and others, the horn for the Guanglong army's first probing attack finally sounded. Fortunately, Desolate Calamity was half-crippled at this time, otherwise, if there was another hundred miles of withering, the Han army wouldn't be able to hold up. But in the short term, he couldn't do it again and fully entered the logic of a conventional war.
The manufacture of cannons was slow, production was scarce, and with an army of a hundred thousand here, a few cannons were of little use and temporarily not deployed. The sound of battle cries came from afar, Jiuyou looked down, watching the stalemate attack and defense of Guanglongetc. with a mocking smile: "Sister, what do you say, what will happen when Desolate Calamity slightly recovers?"
The Blind One didn't answer her, as if thinking about something.
Jiuyou asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
A golden light flashed in the sky: "At the end of January, Huangfu Yongxian led his troops beyond the pass, leaving Yanmen empty. Demon God Feng Yin led the Jinnan troops northward, launching a surprise attack on Yanmen. Han Xiang Tang Wanju rushed to the rescue alone, repelling Feng Yin within ten moves, capturing all his troops, thus resolving the crisis at Yanmen."
"Report to the golden tower for your intent, carry the jade dragon to die for you."
"..." Jiuyou opened her mouth, then closed it again.
You chit-chatted with me for so long, it turns out you were writing a book on the side? And thinking about poetry too... The jade dragon you mentioned, is it the jade dragon I am thinking of?
In fact, Zhao Changhe didn't understand earlier why Jiuyou couldn't see a thousand miles away. Apart from factors like insufficient recovery, the real most important factor was that this aspect was covered by the Blind One's Heavenly Scripture Law, basically monopolizing it. She couldn't do what the Blind One did.
The Yanmen battle ended so quickly, it was unexpected for everyone. What Jiuyou didn't expect even more was that the Blind One was cheating again.
Previously, someone in Huangfu Yongxian's army galloped to "report", just to shake the army's morale. Although Huangfu Yongxian saw through it and decisively killed people to resolve it, those a bit smarter among the soldiers probably understood in their hearts. It was foreseeable that Yanmen would be attacked by surprise, but no one knew the outcome, inevitably causing concern.
The Blind One directly cheated, not organizing a unified summary after the whole campaign ended as usual, but broadcasting the Yanmen battle worldwide first, the only purpose being to help Zhao Changhe stabilize the army's morale.
You even said that was not your man, how bias is this already? Is this your way of not participating in worldly disputes?
Faced with Jiuyou's strange gaze, the Blind One felt like a breeze brushing by, directly pretending not to know, instead, asking with a smile: "Ah, sorry, what were you asking me just now? About Desolate Calamity or something?"
Jiuyou's face was expressionless.
The Blind One smiled and said: "Actually, I am involved in worldly disputes. Under my system, the human emperors have always been my Azure Dragon, and they still are today."
Jiuyou laughed: "It's been a long time since I heard you call yourself 'I', it sounds inexplicably ironic. Now you are just a book, with one page that I wipe with every day, as if wiping it on your face."
One would have thought this remark would make the Blind One jump with anger, but the Blind One was very numb, without even changing expression, still smiling and asking: "What will happen when Desolate Calamity recovers, I don't know. But the Jinbei campaign is already over, everyone knows. By the way, Feng Yin is fleeing south at this moment, already almost passing by nearby, seems like he has no intention to visit you?"
"He would not dare come back to see me at all." Jiuyou smiled slightly: "He will naturally find a way for redemption."
The Blind One laughed: "Then shall we watch here together, their outcome?"
Jiuyou said: "Why not?"
"Then it feels a bit boring standing here, how about we make a bet?"
"Hmm? Honestly, I don't particularly care about the outcome of this campaign, why make this bet with you?"
The Blind One leisurely said: "I know you do not focus on the campaign's outcome, but what you want is chaos in the world's heart... oh, maybe at the Longevity Heaven Temple you have other needs. I want to bet with you, not on the campaign's outcome, but that what you seek will all be in vain... whether it's your apparent world-spanning schemes or the Divine Hall campaign, you will end up getting nothing, do you believe that?"
Jiuyou sneered: "Of course, I don't believe. Even if most places fail like Jinbei, there will still be some successes."
"If you don't believe, then there's a bet to be made." The Blind One laughed: "If all your plans fail, what will you say then?"
Jiuyou's indifferent eyes finally had a little ripple, she chuckled: "If that is the case, I will give you the True Illusion Mirror, I know you want it very much. But if there are successes, what will you give me? Your man?"
The Blind One didn't even bother with this, just said lightly: "How about the Book of Life you want?"
Jiuyou looked at her seriously, with a slight ripple in her eyes: "What if I want the entire Heavenly Book?"
The Blind One's eyelids twitched, as if about to open her eyes.
But then quickly restrained, whispering: "You have always wanted to replace me... yet you don't know, this is not a good idea."
