Master of Strange Dao

"Did you get injured?" Ten looked at Eight, somewhat surprised.

"Infiltrating Almsgiving Town and the Abyssal Rift, got hurt by accident, it's a minor issue. How's it going on your end?" Eight replied calmly. After all, he had no face, so no one could see his expression.

"Feels like it's not going too smoothly," Ten sighed, pointing to the south.

"Dali brought the entire West Desolate Army over, we underestimated the West Desolate Army's combat strength.

In the past, although we knew that the West Desolate Army guarded the Abyssal Rift and frequently engaged with devils, their combat strength wasn't low.

But the West Desolate Army's losses had always been significant, and in the past, to suppress the Abyssal Rift, they still needed support from other sects' forces.

Who would have thought, the West Desolate Army's combat strength is now extremely formidable.

The Western Desolation General personally beat the battle drum to boost morale, and their weapon killing was so intense that even some secret techniques of the Refining God cultivators were useless against those soldiers.

On the battlefield, Daqian achieved fewer victories than defeats, and the battlefield kept pushing towards Daqian.

Now it has already advanced two thousand li southward.

By my estimate, they can definitely advance three thousand li in one go.

By then, if the center line crossed the southern border of Kuihou Country, Daqian would certainly mobilize the army from other places.

But I estimate it wouldn't be too many.

I estimate in the end, the actual area of control, Dali could at least push the national boundary southward by more than fifteen hundred li.

The remaining area is treated as a buffer zone.

Moreover, I sense Daqian doesn't seem to care at all, in the court, at most they only talk about deploying troops and maintaining position.

Those courtiers, few of them are even shouting about fighting back into Dali territory.

The Second Prince of Daqian is supervising the battle at the front line, suffering one defeat after another, yet the Crown Prince of Daqian doesn't pursue vigorously, it's truly unbelievable.

I feel that this war might end in a few years.

The remaining time, at most, will be small-scale harassment."

Ten seemed a bit worried, indeed, this side was fighting, but it was completely different from the anticipated stalemate and bloody meat grinder.

"Did you already relay the news about the Immortal Herbs to the East Sea and the Southern Sea?" Eight suddenly asked.

"It's been sent over."

"You acted too early, if there's a commotion in the East Sea, and the Sea Clan harasses.

Daqian definitely wouldn't dare to go without the army, in this way, Dali got what they wanted and definitely wouldn't have the heart to continue southward, turning instead to digest and swallow the territory.

If the Sea Clan were to harass Dali's eastern coastline, Dali also has garrison troops to the east, they just need to guard the eastern coastline.

Unlike Daqian, which has long coastlines in the east and south.

At this stage, there's nothing we can do.

We better handle King Qi's affair first.

He exposed us all with one move, now we have to lure people to deal with King Qi, and muddy the waters afterward."

"Did your part involve Jinlan Mountain?"

"Heh, how do you think I got injured?" Eight sneered without giving details.

Ten dared not ask more.

He also knew that involving Jinlan Mountain was definitely a very dangerous affair.

Because Jinlan Mountain, unlike those large sects, which have a vast family business, numerous disciples, and a complex network from top to bottom over a long time.

The people from Jinlan Mountain were not someone anyone could casually bully, and their network wasn't complex, making it indeed difficult to do anything.

"I truly have nothing left to manage on my side, and the battle situation isn't something we can sway.

Let's deal with King Qi first, find a way to kill him, and then throw out the beast skin map, let them all vie for it.

Do you need to find someone to cooperate with?" Ten wasn't very sure.

"Where would there be any manpower now? No. 9 died at the hands of King Qi, and the others all have their respective tasks."

"Several Ninth Tier have been drawn in, so it should be about right. We just need to guide them a bit, that should suffice."

Eight didn't say anything, as he followed Ten, just about to move forward when a bit of spirit light appeared.

A faint light shone from the 'Ten' symbol on Ten's mask, and that bit of light descended, transforming into a jade scroll.

Eight and Ten immediately knelt on one knee.

The light flowed over the jade scroll, and a phantom of the White Water Egg wearing a No.1 mask appeared.

"Ten, you should be in the southern part of Dali now, if available, go to the Abyssal Rift and hunt some Shadow Devils.

If you can't find Shadow Devils in the Abyss, go to the Qiguang Trading Company in the eastern part of Dali, there are three pairs of Shadow Devil eyes in that trading company.

Find a way to bring them back."

After finishing, the phantom dissipated on its own, and the jade scroll turned to dust.

"Let's go, heading to the Abyss just in time, but those Shadow Devils, now are probably not easy to find," Ten stood up, shaking his head.

Eight remained silent, handling such procurement tasks was part of their normal duties.

Even if someone traced back along the vine, they would only trace back to them at most.

At their point, the trail would abruptly stop, and anyone they came into contact with wouldn't have anything of value to say.

The two reached the Abyssal Rift stealthily, entering from the edge.

At the same time, the lurking hungry ghost sensed the pervasive hungry ghost qi in every corner of this place, detecting an unusual fluctuation but seeing no one, immediately sent out a signal.

Hearing the signal, the deceitful ghost promptly reported to Yu Ziqing.

The Eight White Water Egg that had been let go had returned.

And he took the route that had been informed to them in advance.

Yu Ziqing grinned, leaving Almsgiving Town, heading straight for the Abyssal Rift.

He knew that Eight White Water Egg definitely wouldn't just leave like that.
