Chapter 1302 - 1297: Main Base
"Yes, indeed. When do you think I meant? After all, at such a critical time, they won't have much preparation. After all, we could be considered a surprise force, right? You two should weigh in too. But I think it's still doable."
Zheng Xiuzhi seemed to have anticipated all the steps. As she spoke, she turned to look at Jin Leilei beside her.
"Hmm. If you put it that way, I think we can give it a try. I'm actually a bit worried, though. After all, we mostly hear legends about the Wildlings' base camp but truly have no idea about their abilities. Besides, there are just a few of us, which is quite fewer in number. If disputes arise, the consequences are really hard to predict."
Lin Chuan voiced all his concerns without holding back. In the meantime, he didn't forget to glance at the two women beside him. Many times, Lin Chuan was quite concerned about Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei. After all, these two had brought him no small amount of good fortune.
"Actually, I think what Sister said makes sense. We can give it a try. If we're worried, we can arrange matters downstairs first. If we're away for an extended period, we should have people ready to receive us. Even if we don't do that, in the future, those so-called experts are bound to appear. Considering how far the war has come, it won't easily end without special circumstances."
On the side, Zheng Xiuzhi moved a bit closer to Zheng Xiuzhi as she spoke, almost as if this simple gesture was full support for her.
"Although this matter sounds straightforward, we must prepare thoroughly. If danger arises, the situation that follows is hard to foresee. It's basically impossible for the Wildlings' base camp to easily surrender. Besides, both sides have intentions of swallowing the other, and to really win, we must have some special skills. Otherwise, the outcomes would depend solely on luck."
Rarely speaking in front of the crowd, Jin Leilei also started talking.
Compared to her usual lively manner, Jin Leilei now appeared quite seasoned. Even her two sisters sitting nearby sensed improvement in her. The words she spoke seemed beyond the comprehension of many.
"In this case, there's no time to waste. Let's start arranging now for our safety first. I think I'll keep just one person with me. After all, if there's danger, at least we can reduce our strength loss. What do you think, Senior Sister?"
After some simple exchanges of glances among the group, Lin Chuan spoke. But after speaking, he handed over the initiative to Zheng Xiuzhi.
Often, Zheng Xiuzhi was Lin Chuan's navigator. Many actions were ultimately implemented following her decisions.
"If you put it that way, it's reasonable. But matters downstairs are left to the two younger sisters. You two must watch your safety cautiously. Try to preserve your strength..."
Right after Lin Chuan's words, Zheng Xiuzhi examined the faces of both Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei. When they hadn't spoken, Zheng Xiuzhi started speaking. But what she said immediately took the form of advice.
The exchange of looks was like silent communication among the group, constantly flowing back and forth until it eventually settled into silence.
"With what you said, the two of us will also exert all our efforts. Though honestly, I would prefer to stay with you. Thinking simplistically, matters without guidance afterwards are also unanchored. This method, if understood, should be commenced immediately, preventing further issues from arising over time."
After a brief exchange of glances between Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei, it was ultimately Zheng Xiuzhi who spoke.
Suddenly, the group's mindset started to find a rough direction.
"All right, then. We should each confirm our direction clearly. Regardless of successful outcomes or unfavorable retreat routes, everything should be well thought out. Because our gamble comes at a price. Once a significant threat arises, we'll have to find ways to ensure our safety."
Finally, Lin Chuan once again reassured the group.
Actually, Lin Chuan didn't have a clear way out in his mind either.
After some straightforward discussion, they started the next steps.
At that moment, Abyss Piercing Sword accelerated to its top speed, thanks to the significant effects of the spiritual medicine Lin Chuan had administered.
After Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei reached the head of the previous group, they quickly parted ways.
The guards at the front of the group noticed Lin Chuan, Zheng Xiuzhi, and the others. Instantly, they all felt a bit puzzled. Unaware of when the group had left or what their purpose was.
During the subsequent time, Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei repeatedly clarified the upcoming plan to those around them. When facing a significant decision, unifying the group's direction is vital. Bringing the collective goal together is key to achieving meaningful results.
Once Lin Chuan departed, he felt a touch of confusion.
Even though Abyss Piercing Sword had accelerated, he had never ventured to the so-called Wildlings' base, nor did he know its location.
Abyss Piercing Sword seemed to require no guidance; with Lin Chuan's simple gesture, its rapid pace carried him to the highest point at the horizon.
Amidst the pristine surroundings, Lin Chuan remained somewhat entranced.
"This is the Wildlings' base camp we've imagined, even though it's my first time here. But I trust that Abyss Piercing Sword wouldn't go wrong."
Often, animals possess spiritual power that people cannot fathom. At that moment, Lin Chuan already saw the true strength of Abyss Piercing Sword.
"Should we just simply destroy this place a bit before talking?"
At this moment, Lin Chuan was still a little confused. Faced with a landscape like the Immortal Realm, he was even a bit reluctant. As he spoke, his gaze once again fell on Zheng Xiuzhi's face. Even at this critical moment, borrowing the surrounding view, Lin Chuan clearly saw that the charming expression on Zheng Xiuzhi's face was something that other environments couldn't provide.
"This is actually a method too. If you're unwilling to do this, you can just rush in directly. Target those residences exclusive to power of the highest authority. Especially aim for those places of strength. It's the same for those other insignificant places; even if you attack them, there's not much meaning. We need to expend the least effort to achieve our goals now. It would be even better if we achieve such purposes without any effort."
Zheng Xiuzhi seriously spoke while continuously surveying the surroundings. Zheng Xiuzhi clearly stated her point. Even if those meaningless places were razed to the ground, what would it yield? In the end, wouldn't it still be a pile of trash?
After Zheng Xiuzhi finished speaking, the Sky-reaching Halberd was tightly gripped in Lin Chuan's hand.
In order to influence ideas from people afar, at this moment, lightning appeared on the Sky-reaching Halberd.
Compared to other times, the electric sparks on the Sky-reaching Halberd were the brightest now. The light around was originally milky white. As the electric sparks kept burning, a suffocating brightness appeared amid the milky white surrounding.
In an instant, the people inside the barbarian main camp were somewhat shocked. They had no idea what was going on with Lin Chuan at this moment.
Everyone knew that lightning was something floating in mid-air, especially because its occurrence wasn't constant. But at this moment, the object in Lin Chuan's hand completely surpassed their imagination. Moreover, Lin Chuan still had that natural, casual demeanor.
Just then, someone in the crowd spoke. Especially crucial was that this person revealed Lin Chuan's true background. It seemed that they knew about those matters in the Human Realm. As his simple words came out, the surrounding people became tense again. Some even ran directly toward their homes at this moment.
Sensing the anomaly around him, Lin Chuan still wielded the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand and fiercely charged towards the tallest building in this environment.
Actually, saying "charge" was just Lin Chuan hurling the lightning from the Sky-reaching Halberd.
Suddenly, the originally stable and safe tall building collapsed in an instant.
As all the buildings began to shake, the lightning in Lin Chuan's hand once again shot towards a tall flagpole not far away. After all, this was a symbol in this environment.
With the successive occurrences of these events, those who had been watching suddenly knelt on the ground. Some even directly placed the most beautiful things in their hands onto their palms, raising them high up.
Seeing the changes in the people around him, Lin Chuan was excited. Especially when his gaze landed on Zheng Xiuzhi's face. The two smiled at each other without any prior agreement.
The pleas for mercy quickly came from far to near. In the midst of these voices, crying could even be heard.
"Great deity, spare us. We know we were wrong. We beg you to spare our lives. We truly know we were wrong."
"Great deity, please spare us. We are just insignificant characters without power. Even if you kill us, you won't gain much from it. If you like the things in our hands, feel free to take them. We absolutely won't resist in any way. We will never dare to speak of war again. We truly know we were wrong. We beg you to spare us..."
In the time that followed, the people kneeling on the ground kept shouting.
When Lin Chuan was about to speak again, he suddenly noticed a few people crawling over from not far away. In terms of clothing and physique, they were not very similar to the others.
"Great deity, I am the leader. I am here to apologize to you now. We are willing to bear any punishment, only asking you to let us go."
As this person approached, the people around immediately fell silent. Many particularly directed their gaze at him.
Before Lin Chuan spoke, he didn't forget to turn around and glance at Zheng Xiuzhi. "From now on, the barbarian main camp no longer exists. Everything you once had has completely disappeared. Your current status is just like theirs. Understand?"
As Lin Chuan loudly proclaimed this, the surrounding noise ceased completely.
"Yes, yes. I will certainly comply. From this moment on, I am no longer the leader here."
As the leading man spoke, he directly removed his clothes.
Following his actions, those beside him did the same. Finally, all these items were placed together and neatly arranged.
Seeing the submissive attitudes of these people, the excitement Lin Chuan felt was vividly expressed on his face.
In the ensuing time, what used to be the Immortal Platform was completely transformed. The finest buildings here became part of the Human Realm.
In their minds, everyone had directly regarded Lin Chuan as a true deity. After all, in his usual times, Lin Chuan often sat on a steed, constantly playing among the drifting white clouds. It seemed that near Lin Chuan, not a trace of sorrow could be found.
