Capítulo 940: Chapter 418: Negotiation (Part 2)
At this moment, not only Suo Wuchang, but even Luo Haibin and Tianma Hang, their eyes also flashed with a hint of barely noticeable joy.
“Ahem!” Luo Haibin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, “Regarding the matter of the Eighteen Realms possessing treasures that can increase the chance of entering the God Realm, old Du, how did you know about this?”
“Because I went to the Eighteen Realms once in my early years.”
“You’ve been to the Eighteen Realms?!”
The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family’s answer startled the three of them: “When did you go?”
“I don’t want to talk about it, it wasn’t through any glorious means. Back then, I was young and curious about the Eighteen Realms, so I found ways to visit once. What I saw on that trip made this wanderer, who loved traveling to mountains and rivers, change his mindset and start gradually taking over family matters.”
Hearing the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family’s indifferent words, the three exchanged glances and saw considerable astonishment in each other’s eyes.
“So, what you mean is, old Du, you old schemer, you started plotting against the Eighteen Realms when you were young?”
“Haha, you could understand it that way.”
The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family did not deny it. Upon hearing this, the three of them took a sharp breath.
However, Suo Wuchang soon calmed down and said solemnly to the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family, “So we created a dynasty in the Sky Domain, instigated the Nine Domains’ war, lured the Eighteen Realms into conflict, all for the treasures produced by the Eighteen Realms?!”
Upon hearing this, the other two also snapped out of their shock and stared intently at the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family. If this old guy admitted it, they would never have any dealings with him from that moment on.
The chaos in the Nine Domains and the conflict at the Eighteen Realms each represent mountains of corpses and blood. If the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family did it all just for the God-aiding treasures, then he is a cold-blooded, ruthless conspirator by nature. Working with someone who disregards human life is like putting one’s head on the waistband, just a matter of time before they might die without knowing how.
The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family also understood the importance of this answer, turned his head, calmly met the eyes of the three, and said, “It’s not like that.”
Upon hearing the response, the three were finally relieved.
“Then what is your true goal?” At this moment, Tianma Hang was extremely curious about the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family’s ultimate purpose and couldn’t help but ask.
In response, the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family simply shook his head slightly: “It’s still too early to talk about this matter. When the time is right, I’ll tell you all. Just remember, I won’t harm everyone. The Dukeesa family hopes to become the most powerful family under the heavens, but we have no desire to be the only family in this multiverse.”
The three were quite satisfied with the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family’s answer.
Then the topic returned to its main track, and Tianma Hang reintroduced, “Aside from the actions of the four transcendent forces and the Eighteen Realms, the chess pieces we planted in the Series Domain have already played an important role, beginning to strike at the rear of the Six Domains Alliance, though…”
From Tianma Hang’s hesitant voice, Suo Wuchang immediately understood and his face darkened, “Is it that Solomon punk causing trouble?!”
Tianma Hang nodded: “Your kid has too much hostility. Not only is he striking at those Six Domains Alliance families, but he also slaughtered them in a bloodbath, annihilating eighteen medium-sized families completely. Such ruthless and decisive actions will probably provoke the Six Domains Alliance to counterattack our Nine Realms Dynasty even more frenziedly.”
Hearing Tianma Hang’s words, Suo Wuchang’s face was terrifyingly dark: “I told him before I left to focus on intimidation and pressure, forcing the Six Domains Alliance to divide their forces and return, reducing the pressure on the main battlefield. This fool actually wiped out their home base, so why would these people still need to return? I never thought my grandson would be such a fool?!!!”
As he spoke, Suo Wuchang again looked at Tianma Hang, frowning slightly: “Why are you telling me this just today? Didn’t Solomon report back to you?”
In response, Tianma Hang nodded: “Solomon indeed did not transmit any information back, even though he has a mother panel. The information about those families being massacred was obtained by spies we planted within the Six Domains Alliance, then transmitted to other sub-panels as military intelligence.”
“Something’s not right.” Suo Wuchang shook his head: “This doesn’t resemble my grandson’s style.”
Luo Haibin also nodded in agreement: “So, we unanimously believe Solomon has encountered trouble, and very significant trouble at that. Those eighteen families massacred might not have been Solomon’s doing.”
“The four transcendent forces?” Suo Wuchang’s face grew darker. Solomon’s failure to report back military intelligence suggested all means of external communication have been cut off, indicating that Solomon was currently in a crisis, leaving him, as a grandfather, deeply worried.
“I don’t think so.” At this point, the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family spoke up: “Have you considered him?”
The reminded three suddenly looked up: “Nie Sanling did it himself?!”
The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family smiled slightly and nodded: “We set up to bring down Shen Lianxin with numerous plans and means, yet we only used half our measures to force this Alliance Hierarch of the Six Domains Alliance down, forcing him to retreat to Night Hunting Pass. Behind this, Nie Sanling made a significant contribution.”
“So you suspect it’s Nie Sanling intervening in secret, besieging Solomon on the one hand and sending troops to annihilate those eighteen families on the other, thus driving the Six Domains Alliance into madness, prompting them to fight the Nine Realms Dynasty to the death without regard for their own lives?” Luo Haibin was somewhat skeptical.
Suo Wuchang also agreed: “I also think Nie Sanling doesn’t have this kind of capability. If we go by this theory, Nie Sanling must have started planning at the outset of our Nine Realms Dynasty establishment, pushing each of our schemes along smoothly. Calculating this way, Nie Sanling’s intelligence is terrifyingly high; I don’t believe anyone could have such a frightening ability to plot.”
Tianma Hang also nodded: “If Nie Sanling truly had such a terrifying ability to plot, then our Nine Realms Dynasty would indeed be in danger!”
After hearing the statements from the three, the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family smiled slightly: “I say, you old guys, is it that hard to admit someone else is outstanding?”
Upon hearing the Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family, the three had another color change, not because of the Clan Leader’s mockery but because of the implication behind those words.
“Do you really think Nie Sanling is behind this?” Suo Wuchang asked gravely.
The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family nodded, reaffirming his opinion: “If completely annihilating family forces could bring the greatest benefit to anyone, it would definitely be him as the Six Domains Alliance’s Hierarch. Therefore, I have a sufficient reason to suspect this matter is his secret operation, and our deployments and plans in the Series Domain, Vast Domain, and Vertical Domain have already been entirely grasped and manipulated by him.”
“If so, the upcoming Weiyang Defense Battle will be tough to fight.” Suo Wuchang currently felt immense pressure, fearing that if Nie Sanling indeed had such a fearful capability to plot, he would lack confidence in defeating him on the battlefield.
“No worries, Brother Suo, just give it your best effort. Victory will surely be ours.” The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family spoke calmly, not considering the cunning Nie Sanling worthy of concern.
While somewhat entangled, Luo Haibin still disagreed: “I still firmly believe Nie Sanling cannot make such meticulous plans.”
“Is it really important whether it’s him or not?” The Clan Leader of the Dukeesa family cast a slight smile towards Luo Haibin, “Does it matter if it’s Nie Sanling or not?”
“If it’s him, then Old Suo’s upcoming Imperial City Defense Battle will be difficult, likely making him bald by the end. If not him, then Old Suo’s battle might go more smoothly, and even a counter-kill wouldn’t be impossible,” Tianma Hang commented, glancing at Suo Wuchang with a smile, “Am I right, Old Suo!”
“Humph!” Suo Wuchang expressed dissatisfaction: “Whether or not it’s Nie Sanling, I, the old man, can defeat him on the battlefield without you using some sneaky incitements.”
