Chapter 1627: Fengdu’s Plot
“It is true that the Chief Libationist is injured, but it’s not like the Chief Libationist is humanity’s only champion.”
The Great Emperor of Fengdu replied, “Both that refuse-to-die from Dragon Tiger Mountain or that old monk from White Horse Temple were on the same level as the Chief Libationist, and need I remind you have pissed off everyone? Even if the Chief Libationist isn’t coming, who is to say that those two wouldn’t pay us a visit?”
“Surely not,” Cojoined said.
“No, the great emperor is right. We should be on our guard.” Tyrant Extinction said thoughtfully, “There is a precedent. We should be ready.”
The precedent Tyrant Extinction mentioned was the Fengdu’s invasion of humanity tens of thousands of years ago, of course. It was an era of chaos, and Fengdu had seized the opportunity to invade the human world, kickstart calamities and disasters, and plunder countless human souls. As a result, they incurred the wrath of humanity and were besieged by everyone who considered themselves righteous. In the end, they took massive damage and were nearly destroyed. If King Taishan hadn’t secretly lent them a hand at the last moment, there might not be a Fengdu today.
Even so, it was only recently Fengdu had finally recovered from that damage.
Today, they had stuck their hands into the human world once more and even exposed King Taishan’s existence. The orthodoxy probably wouldn’t let this go.
Sect Spirit realized this and echoed in agreement, “That is true. If King Taishan’s safety is threatened, then we should be on our guard.”
Bright Star said worriedly, “What should we do then?”
“There’s no need to worry too much.”
Sect Spirit continued, “Although King Taishan is exposed, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. King Taishan was renowned during the ancient times, so the humans must be wary of his reputation. Even if they are plotting against Fengdu, I’m sure they would not dare to act recklessly. They will plot slowly and meticulously, unaware that they are giving us time to recover.”
The Great Emperor of Fengdu wasn’t nearly as optimistic as he was, however. “So what? The humans outnumber us many times to one. Even if they gave us enough time to recover to full health, each of us would have to fight dozens of human champions alone. In the end, our resistance would prove futile, and Fengdu would fall to its tribulation.”
