Chapter 2423 - When Your Enemies See Through Your Hidden Cards
The shore of a blood-red lake, within a black palace.
The amiable, tranquil-looking Old Man Heart Devil sat peacefully atop his skeletal throne.
“I’ve pondered how we’ll defeat Su Yi for a long time. In the end, I grasped three things,” he said calmly. “First, our enmity with him is utterly irreconcilable. Neither of us will rest until the other party is dead, so this can only end with death. There’s absolutely no room left for negotiation. No matter how many concessions we make or how generous our terms, we cannot possibly make peace with Su Yi.”
Progenitors Huang Qi and Huan Yan didn’t argue. They just listened attentively.
They’d been irreconcilable enemies with Li Fuyou, too. The grudge between them was like an ocean of blood, and everyone knew it.
“Second, this is our one and only chance prior to the Dark Days of Legend. Since we cannot work with him, we must end things with Su Yi once and for all, even if it means risking everything,” Old Man Heart Demon said slowly. “Thus, long before this trap began, I made ample preparations, as well... as plans for the worst!”
When Progenitor Huang Qi heard that, his eyelids twitched. “You planned for the worst? What do you mean?”
“The destruction of our entire race,” Old Man Heart Demon said softly.
It was just a few words, but Progenitors Huang Qi and Huan Yan’s hearts shook.
“Of course, that’s just a worst-case scenario,” Old Man Heart Demon said serenely. “You must always plan for the worst while striving for the best.
“I’m about ninety percent confident that this plan to defeat Su Yi will succeed, and that even if something unexpected happens... we’ll be able to respond to it.”
“What’s the third thing you realized?” asked Progenitor Huan Yan.
