Chapter 588 Abyss

Franbai stared expressionlessly at Li Wuce and Qiu Guan.Li Wuce, however, remained completely calm, instead arrogantly stating, "Franbai, don't get it wrong.""I am the direct descendant of the Heng clan. It's not that I want to cooperate with you, it's that you want to cooperate with me!"Cang Fu had once said that Zhuge Tianming's methods were too soft to quell internal strife; the human race was already riddled with holes, corrupted by the various clans of the Heavenly Realm.Franbai only learned of this today.His expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What did you say?"A faint golden light appeared in Li Wuce's palm, a wisp of fortune swirling around his wrist.This was proof of being a direct descendant of the Heng clan.In an instant.Franbai was struck dumb.He had previously doubted the sincerity of Li Wuce's deal, especially after the complete annihilation of Kaliel's army; he felt something was amiss.Until today, Li Wuce laid his cards on the table."The incompetent one is you, not us." Even in terms of status, I am far above you.In the vast Demon Realm, only the Demon Ancestor possesses this aura of direct lineage from the Heng Clan.This is a symbol of value.In the eyes of the Heng Clan, Li Wuce's usefulness is almost equal to that of the Demon Ancestor.Looking at Li Wuce's face, Fran Bai felt a chill run down his spine.This guy is truly terrifying.He has been an accomplice to evil in the human realm for three thousand years. Everyone knows he is a wicked seed, yet the human realm cannot do anything to him, cannot find any evidence of his crimes.He colluded with the divine realm before, and then redeemed himself by turning the smuggling route to the divine realm into Li An's escape route.Every event, good or bad, is controlled by him. He has managed to become a direct descendant of the Heng Clan.This aura of fortune is proof of his loyalty.The methods of the Heavenly Realm are extremely powerful. Wearing his bracelet subtly and continuously alters one's thoughts.No one could last two years; they would all be transformed by the bracelet into the most loyal subordinates of the Celestial Realm.So now, the positions have reversed.The one high above is Li Wuce.He coldly asked, "Which fortress currently has the largest force?"France Bai lowered his head and replied, "Naturally, it's the First Fortress, with a total force exceeding ten thousand."Li Wuce said in a deep voice, "The annual military parade of the Third Great Wall of the Human Realm is imminent. I will set the parade location near the border.""The rest is up to you."France Bai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked, "How many troops?""At least thirty thousand." Li Wuce nodded slightly."Thirty thousand!?" Frane Bai's face immediately lit up with a smile. "This time, we will surely return in triumph.""Yes." Li Wuce nodded.Then, he turned and disappeared into the darkness with Qiu Guan.France Bai, with an expectant smile, retreated back into the Demon Realm.On the way home.Li Wuce walked faster and faster. Qiu Guan watched his retreating figure, his gaze finally settling on his bracelet. He couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind."What about two years from now?"Li Wuce glanced at him and said, "There's always a way.""Sigh," Qiu Guan sighed, "I never expected you... to be this kind of person.""Enough nonsense," Li Wuce said in a deep voice, "Spread the word about the upcoming military parade first thing tomorrow morning.""Send 500 men to each war zone, 30,000 in total. That'll reduce the troop strength of all sixty war zones by a third. Send mid-tier soldiers, not the best."Upon hearing this, Qiu Guan's pupils suddenly contracted. "What do you mean?"He had assumed that Li Wuce's mention of 30,000 for the parade meant that the First War Zone would have 30,000 troops, and they would send Divine Realm experts, or even more, to fight.He hadn't expected this.In Li Wuce's plan, the enemy certainly couldn't possibly confront 30,000 troops head-on.The troops would be drawn from other war zones.The enemy is definitely going to attack other vulnerable war zones.Qiu Guan took a deep breath, immediately realizing the seriousness of the situation, and said, "Less than sixty war zones, more than fifty war zones, all needing to transfer five hundred mid-level warriors.""Isn't this too widespread, too risky?""How can we defend them?"Li Wuce said calmly, "Li An took his position six months in advance. A single move will have far-reaching consequences; the remaining human contestants from the Temple of Cultivation will also be moved.""By the time of the military parade, the young people should all be here.""Although the numbers are insufficient, we still have the support of the Immortal Realm.""Also, at an opportune moment, transfer the troops from the Sixth Great Wall here.""The Sixth Great Wall faces the Immortal Realm; we can abandon its defense now.""This time, we must inflict a heavy blow on the Demon Realm!""So soon?" Qiu Guan's expression turned grave.Li Wuce looked down at his bracelet and said calmly, "I don't have that much time.""There are still many things to do.""I'm just someone chosen by the Heng Clan. There are twelve other surnames in the Heavenly Realm. We need to continue investigating whether they've turned any of us against their own.""Once we hurt the Demon Realm badly,""then they will inevitably seek alliances with other realms, such as the Ghost Realm.""Then, the direct subordinates of the Yan Clan above the Ghost Realm will come to me and join forces with me.""Do you understand?"Li Wuce turned to look at Qiu Guan.Qiu Guan's eyes trembled slightly, utterly shocked by Li Wuce's words. The main reason was that, until recently, no one believed Li Wuce was truly capable; he was only a bully who disgraced the Li Clan.Only now did Qiu Guan realize that it was all a lie.Without his three-thousand-year history of bringing disaster to the country and its people, Li Wuce wouldn't have been seen as a pawn by the Heavenly Realm, and none of this would have happened.They could actually ask how many enemy soldiers there were and what their strategic deployments were!The brutal and bloodthirsty enemy on the battlefield, now bowing their heads like obedient children, treating you as their superior, meekly telling you all their plans?In the past, we never dared to imagine such a thing in war!The entire defense of our Great Wall had been simplified to one thing—how to win without leaving a trace.Finally.Li Wuce walked away under Qiu Guan's respectful gaze.He returned to his residence, sat at his dimly lit desk, closed his eyes, and pondered deeply.Suddenly, a hint of pain crossed his face, and he raised his hand to his forehead.The Heng clan is the true lineage of all heavens.It is a great surname, a great nation. To be a part of this nation is your honor.Uncontrollable thoughts began to surge.Li Wuce opened the drawer beside him and took out a yellowed letter.On the cover was only one sentence.To Li Wuce—Li Dingtian A sentence was clearly written above:"Child, if you wish to become a great strategist, you must understand the meaning of this sentence.""Not every effort brings opportunity. I strive every day, but the chance to change the course of a battle only comes once or twice."
