Peerless War God

The three of them fell into deep thought after hearing it.    

“So, it’s not entirely your fault,” Gu Lan Yue consoled Gu Feng and gave him a way out.    

Gu Feng felt even more guilty and embarrassed after hearing it. He had agreed to it earlier, but he did not expect that he would mess it up in the end.    

Fu Xue nodded and said, “That’s right, Gu Feng. Don’t think too much. It’s not your fault.”    

“Alas.” Gu Feng sighed and did not want to say anything else.    

Zuo Zhao patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “We’re all human beings, so we have a little goodwill. We want to let the low-level cultivators of the cults live. Unfortunately, they don’t cherish it. It’s not your fault.”    

Gu Lan Yue said in a deep voice, “That’s right. What’s most important now is what we should do next. After this, what will happen to the cults’ stronghold?”    

“That’s hard to say.” A hint of worry flashed across Fu Xue’s eyes.    

The atmosphere was heavy. Zuo Zhao saw that and said, “Why? Are you so discouraged and scared now? Don’t forget that the captain just killed an immortal-level powerhouse not long ago. Countless cultivators were inspired. The captain was completely fearless when facing the threat of an immortal-level powerhouse. He even fought one against three. Are we afraid of a mere stronghold?”    

When Fu Xue heard this, she agreed. “That’s the truth. Being overcautious is not going to work. There’s no such thing as a perfect plan in this world.”    

Gu Feng was stunned. “Then what should we do?”    

“In my opinion, we’ll just follow the original plan. Whether or not we startle the enemy is not important.”    

Gu Lanyue said calmly.    

All of a sudden, the three of them looked at her. Zuo Zhao asked, “Lanyue, what do you mean?”    

“It’s very simple. Think about it. Ever since our captain killed the Thousand Corpse Demon Elder, the people of the Black Heavens Demon Cult have been on high alert. They’ve been like frightened birds, and they’ve been so scared that they’ve been hiding. They don’t dare to go out, and there’s no difference between us startling the enemy. Isn’t that right?”    

Gu Lanyue explained slowly.    

That’s right. Even without Gu Feng’s startling the enemy, the cultivators of the cult would still defend with all their might. They would not dare to be careless.    

Rather than saying that Gu Feng’s reckless action startled the enemy, it could also be seen from another angle. It was an assault on the stronghold of the cult. It would cause the cultivators of the cult to panic and be terrified.    

Hearing her words, the three of them slowly came to a realization.    

“Lanyue, are you saying that the people of the cult have been frightened by the enemy since a long time ago?” Fu Xue said in a deep voice.    

Zuo Zhao echoed, “That’s possible. Recently, the cult’s actions have been much less. They’ve been hiding all the time. They must be afraid. It seems like Gu Feng’s action is not a problem. Instead, it will scare the cultivators of the cult. Haha.”    

“Ah?”    

Gu Feng was stunned. This works too?    

But at this moment, Gu Lan Yue's expression darkened. She raised her right hand and a ray of light flew in from outside and landed in her hand. It turned into a communication jade talisman and she used her spiritual will to check it.    

“What is it?” Zuo Zhao asked with concern.    

Gu Lan Yue was expressionless as she said indifferently, “It's Zhu Zhen Fei. He came to ask a few times and even brought some pills and talismans for us to use.”    

“Several times? Heh, this guy is quite attentive. Hmph,” Gu Feng said coldly.    

“Pills and talismans? Have you checked?” Zuo Zhao asked in a deep voice.    

Obviously, what he and Gu Feng were paying attention to was completely different.    

Gu Lan Yue nodded and replied, “I've checked and there are no problems. I know this. We must be careful and not make any mistakes.”    

“That's good. Since that's the case, I'll send him away,” Zuo Zhao said in a deep voice.    

“That's good.”    

Immediately, Zuo Zhao turned around and walked out of the secret room. He saw that Zhu Zhen Fei was already waiting outside. When he saw Zuo Zhao appear, he approached him with an eager and enthusiastic expression.    

“Greetings, sir. How should I address you?” Zhu Zhen Fei asked with a smile on his face.    

Zuo Zhao did not reply. He directly asked, “Captain Zhu, why have you come here? Just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush.”    

Zhu Zhen Fei chuckled and said, “Alright. I heard that you went to investigate the stronghold of the evil sect. I wonder what the situation is like and what useful information you obtained?”    

“Oh, Captain Zhu is quite well-informed.” Zuo Zhao glared at Zhu Zhenfei with a hostile look.    

Zhu Zhenfei was unmoved by Zuo Zhao’s stare. He chuckled and said, “It’s nothing. Sir, please don’t misunderstand. After all, this is my territory. If anything happens here, you will know very quickly. Please don’t blame me.”    

“Heh.”    

Zuo Zhao sneered and did not pursue the matter.    

He had to accept this explanation.    

“Yes, that’s reasonable. Heh, but we are weak and weak. We can’t find any useful information. As for the situation that Captain Zhu mentioned earlier, it’s basically the same. Thank you for your hard work, Captain Zhu.”    

Zuo Zhao said indifferently.    

“Yes, yes. It’s what we should do. Please go and check it out yourself. That’s good. What do you plan to do next? Please tell us. We will do our best to satisfy you.”    

Zhu Zhenfei said with an eager look.    

Zuo Zhao thought for a moment and was about to refuse when he received a voice transmission from Gu Lanyue.    

“Just agree to his request and do as we planned.”    

Zuo Zhao was clearly stunned when he heard this and was confused.    

“Sir, what’s this?” Zhu Zhenfei asked in surprise.    

Zuo Zhao immediately reacted and regained his composure. He said, “It’s nothing. Just do as we planned. We will set off in two days to attack the stronghold of the evil sect.”    

Zhu Zhenfei chuckled and said, "That's great. Then it's settled."    

"Alright."    

Zuo Zhao did not say anything more and turned around to leave, returning to the secret room.    

He immediately looked at Gu Lanyue and questioned, "Lanyue, why did you make such a decision so quickly? We haven't discussed it yet. I..."    

When he said this, Zuo Zhao immediately stopped talking. He saw that there was another person in the secret room.    

To be exact, it was a puppet. It was cold and pitch-black, and it emitted a metallic aura. However, it had extremely powerful strength.    

"Captain, Captain? Is this your Xuanji puppet?"    

At this time, Zuo Zhao understood why Gu Lanyue had made such a decision so quickly.    

Chen Xiao, who had placed a strand of his soul in the Xuanji puppet, said indifferently, "Act according to the plan. In two days, attack the evil sect together."    

"Yes."    

The four of them agreed in unison.
