"Elder Qiushui, what is it?" Chu Feng asked.
"It's about the Dark Night Demon Sect. I wasn't planning on telling you, because it's not good news, and I was afraid you might act impulsively upon hearing it."
"But you are part of the Dark Night Demon Sect, after all. After much deliberation, I decided it would be better to let you know," Qiushui Fuyan said.
"Elder Qiushui, what exactly is going on?" Hearing this, Chu Feng felt a growing unease. He instinctively suspected that the Dark Night Demon Sect had run into some trouble.
"The war between the Immortal Execution Archipelago and the Dark Night Demon Sect has now fully escalated. The two sides have been trading blows, with both suffering losses. However, because the Dark Night Demon Sect has always operated from the shadows, the Immortal Execution Archipelago has consistently been on the losing end."
"But while I was searching for Huangfu Haoyue, I happened to spot members of the Blazing Divine Bird clan meeting with people from the Immortal Execution Archipelago."
"These two forces originally had no dealings with each other. And since there were already rumors that the Immortal Execution Archipelago had sent alliance invitations to the three great demon beast clans to jointly deal with the Dark Night Demon Sect — and the Blazing Divine Bird clan happens to be one of those three — when I saw this scene, my first reaction was that they had likely already formed an alliance, and that these two great forces intended to join hands against the Dark Night Demon Sect."
"So I snuck in and listened in on their conversation."
"And after hearing their discussion, it was exactly as I had suspected — they have formed an alliance and are currently plotting a counterattack against the Dark Night Demon Sect," Qiushui Fuyan explained.
"What are they planning to do?" Hearing this, Chu Feng shot to his feet. He truly could not sit still any longer. Regardless of anything else, he was now a member of the Dark Night Demon Sect, and there was no way he could simply stand by when the sect was in danger.
"The Immortal Execution Archipelago has a limited number of experts, and with the ongoing battles, nearly all of their Martial King-level powerhouses are currently stationed in various locations, guarding important territories."
"Your Dark Night Demon Sect is well aware of this, so you never attack territories guarded by Martial King experts. Instead, you specifically send your experts to raid the unguarded ones. It's a rather underhanded tactic, but it has indeed dealt the Immortal Execution Archipelago serious blows."
"Now, the Immortal Execution Archipelago intends to use this very strategy to launch their counterattack. They deliberately leaked information to lure Murong Xun and a group of powerful fighters away from the Archipelago, hoping to draw the Dark Night Demon Sect's experts into an ambush."
"The Dark Night Demon Sect has been monitoring the movements of the Archipelago's Martial King experts. So once they confirm that no Martial King has been deployed, they will most likely send one of their own to ambush Murong Xun."
"But the Dark Night Demon Sect won't know that hidden within Murong Xun's squad are two Martial King-level demon beasts from the Blazing Divine Bird clan."
"And those two Martial King-level demon beasts are no ordinary fighters. They are two protectors of the Blazing Divine Bird clan. Although they are only first-rank Martial Kings, they possess the unique bloodline power of demon beasts and wield a devastating combination technique. That is not something an ordinary first-rank Martial King could hope to withstand."
"If your Dark Night Demon Sect really sends experts, and they send two Martial Kings, it might be fine. But if they only send one, it would be walking straight into its own grave."
"However, if your Dark Night Demon Sect fails to realize this is a trap, they will almost certainly send only a single Martial King."
"So you should notify the Dark Night Demon Sect and tell them not to fall for it," Qiushui Fuyan elaborated.
"That's bad!" Chu Feng's brow furrowed deeply upon hearing this. He then said, "They can contact me, but I have no way to contact them. I don't even know where they are. There's no way for me to send them a warning."
"If that's the case, then this really is a difficult situation," Qiushui Fuyan said, shaking her head.
