#2657 - Wait and target!
Small-scale battles raged incessantly at the front.
Bo Gu and Fire Emperor, positioned at the rear, had to allocate some of their attention to the situation.
Although their clansmen were responsible for transporting various equipment and elixirs,
should anything go amiss, these fellows would undoubtedly exploit the situation.
Bo Gu and Fire Emperor were not surprised by this.
They were loyal subordinates of the Qin Emperor in the 399th Region.
The Qin Emperor himself was a constant target.
Even the slightest mistake would be magnified infinitely!
Bo Gu looked at Fire Emperor and said, "Now that the small-scale battles at the front are over, we can shift our focus."
Fire Emperor nodded, "Indeed."
Not long ago, they had traveled to the Minor Chiliocosm to elevate their cultivation to the late stage of Sixth-Rank Immortal Emperor.
The joy brought about by this cultivation increase had yet to subside.
Coupled with the end of the small-scale battles, their joy was doubly enhanced!
A month quietly passed...
The clamor in the 399th Region gradually subsided.
The leaders of various forces were now preoccupied with how to secure more benefits for their respective factions.
As for other matters, they were simply not within their consideration.
Dealing with the Qin Emperor?
That required the Qin Emperor to show himself!
Without a target, were they supposed to sanction the air?
The 399th Region now consisted of only fifty forces; so many had been destroyed previously.
The resulting vacancies represented opportunities...
Even a small bite could yield considerable gains.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Yi said in a low voice, "It is time to return to the 399th Region."
During this period, Immortal Emperor Duo Long and others had sent him voice transmissions.
The gist of their messages was that these forces were not preparing to deal with the unknown power, but instead, were turning their spearheads to target Qin Yi.
Upon receiving this news, Qin Yi chuckled wryly.
Whether it was the so-called unknown power or dealing with him, there wasn't much difference in essence.
If these forces were to attack the Little Primordial Star Domain, Qin Yi would inevitably have to intervene once they reached a certain stage of development.
Now, deterred by the Little Primordial Star Domain's formidable foundation, they were coming directly for him...
It could be said that they were bypassing the easy difficulty and directly challenging the highest difficulty!
The entrance to the 399th Region.
Guarding it were still those Ninth-Rank Immortal Reverents from before.
For cultivators at this stage, any further improvement required immense effort and time.
Qin Yi had accomplished many things over the years.
Meanwhile, these Ninth-Rank Immortal Reverent guards had been guarding the entrance to the 399th Region for just as long...
The disparity between them was vast!
"Greetings, Lord Qin Emperor!"
The guards greeted him proactively, their tone slightly ingratiating.
They were aware of the disharmony among the internal forces of the 399th Region.
As guards, such matters were not of great concern to them.
Regardless of Qin Yi's reputation among the forces in the 399th Region,
the guards only knew one thing: despite being targeted by so many forces,
he had managed to thrive for so many years, which was remarkable in itself!
Qin Yi nodded and directly entered the 399th Region.
Since these forces wanted to attack him, he would seize this opportunity to strike back at them!
The guards watched Qin Yi's departing figure and said to each other:
"Have you heard? Many forces inside are planning to target Lord Qin Emperor soon. I wonder what kind of counterattack Lord Qin Emperor will take. He is not one to sit idly by!"
"That's right. Over the years, I've heard of Lord Qin Emperor's various deeds. The words 'sit idly by' are completely unrelated to him. He usually launches a strong counterattack against his enemies!"
"Alas~ When will we be able to become top figures like Qin Emperor, who can get whatever they want? It's much better than we have it now."
"Big shots also have big shots' troubles. If we put ourselves in Lord Qin Emperor's shoes, I think we would be very troubled and might even lose our lives."
...
At this point, a cold sweat broke out on the backs of these guards.
They suddenly realized how dangerous Qin Yi's situation was!
The fact that Qin Yi had been able to live so freely until now largely indicated one thing: his methods were unfathomable!
The news of Qin Yi's return reached the forces that wanted to deal with him.
The leaders of these forces smiled.
They gathered together quietly, choosing not to directly confront Qin Yi.
Dealing with such a strong person directly was the dumbest approach.
They needed to probe constantly... to determine the final means they would use through step-by-step probing.
Wan Long's expression revealed a hint of anticipation upon Qin Yi's return.
He was well aware of what the forces in the 399th Region wanted to do.
Wan Long also had information about it.
Now that Qin Yi had returned, perhaps he could take this opportunity to destroy several more forces in the 399th Region.
Thinking of this, Wan Long was both happy and worried.
He was happy that if the forces in the 399th Region continued to decrease, his goal of completely occupying the Third Star Ring would be closer.
He was worried that under this kind of promotion,
he would inevitably have disagreements with Qin Yi.
When the fight breaks out, I don't know what it will turn into.
"Difficult ah!"
The leaders of various forces watched Qin Yi's every move after his return.
Thoughts kept turning in their minds...
"I don't know when we will see Qin Emperor again this time after he returns. I think we have to make a quick decision. If we can't come up with a plan to deal with him, he may leave after a while!"
"I agree with that point, but there is one thing now. If we want to deal with Qin Emperor, we must create some incidents. He has been staying in his own residence and doesn't come out, so we have no way to use our strength."
"Who says no, if Qin Emperor can leave his residence, then we can completely use provocative methods. I don't believe this guy can resist it, and if he loses, he will have to hand over cultivation resources."
"Don't say it, this is really a way. We will send someone to wait outside Qin Emperor's residence. In order to avoid accidents, why don't we ask a Second-Rank Dao Palace Realm expert to squat there?"
...
The plan of these force leaders was quickly approved.
A Second-Rank Dao Palace Realm expert named Zhang De was entrusted with the important task of carrying out this mission.
He was a little surprised when he learned that he was going to deal with Qin Yi.
He knew Qin Yi very well, and the other party's name had been like thunder for so many years.
Anyone who has stayed in the 399th area has heard of his name.
The key is to let a Second-Rank Dao Palace Realm expert like himself deal with him... it's a bit of an overkill.
