Chapter 1612: When A Lion Fights A Rabbit
“I am glad to hear that we share the same opinion.” Xuanyuan Wang smiled. “So, do you have any specific plans, Chief Libationist?”
The Chief Libationist said slowly, “It takes less effort to remove a thief than it is to guard against one forever.”
The sect masters were surprised, but also unsurprised at the same time.
They were surprised because the “thief” they were talking about was King Taishan, a natural deity and an ancient one. How arrogant and audacious one would have to be to plot his death? However, they were also unsurprised because the one who made this declaration was the Chief Libationist; the one they called the greatest champion under the heavens, the one they called the most meritorious one.
In this world, the Chief Libationist might be the only one who would dare to make such a statement and actually do it.
“King Taishan is not an easy target!” Xuanyuan Wang said.
“It is exactly because he’s not an easy target that we need to target him now.” The Chief Libationist explained, “One, King Taishan had not yet fully awakened, much less recovered. In fact, he just lost his wisp of consciousness and worsened his injuries, so he does not possess even one or two-tenth of his full power right now. It is no exaggeration to say that he is weaker than ever before.”
“Two, I killed two[1] of the Six Ghosts and Gods. The rest of them are injured to a certain extent as well. This means that Fengdu is also weakened and cannot spare the energy to aid King Taishan.”
“The time is right, and the geographical conditions are in our favor. There is no better time to take out King Taishan than now. If we miss this opportunity, if we wait until King Taishan has recovered his strength, then killing him would truly become a gargantuan and unmanageable task!”
“You’re right.” The three sect masters nodded in agreement. “However, you only mentioned the time and geographical condition. What about the social condition?”
The Chief Libationist smiled. “You three are a part of the social condition we must create.”
“You need us?” Haotian Hong replied without hesitation, “We agree to help, of course.”
