Zhu Yi said, “In this War of the Two Worlds, it will be different compared to previous ones. Regardless whether it’s the Divine Lands or the Barren Expanses, there is no leading figure to coordinate the overall battle.”

“We can still discuss strategies with the sects that are close to us. Perhaps we can attack and retreat together. However, for other powers, I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Even for the sects that are our allies, they will have their own plans too. It may not be possible to coordinate with them fully. Over the course of the war, as the situation changes, it’s likely that they will pursue their own goals.”

Zhu Yi shook his head, “Sects with bad blood may try to weaken one another, or even take advantage of the war to severely cripple their rivals. This is not something rare.”

“Of course, for the demons, it’s going to be the same thing. They may act with even fewer restraints. However, in terms of overall strategy, everyone will have a similar stance.”

Wang Lin said quietly, “Unless it’s something important, or if there’s a debt to be repaid, the demons probably would not help each other.”

“While some more powerful demons attack us, the other demons that are not their allies will likely not help them. Instead, they will attack the weaker sects in the Divine Lands to maximize their own benefits.”

Li Yuanfang said, “We can tap on this point and destroy groups of demons individually. Of course, we still must be wary of alliances between the major demons.”

Zhu Yi looked into the void space of the Barren Expanses and said, “The dragons occupy the Black Sea and since there is no clear victor from their battle with the Great Void Sect, we don’t know if the dragons will take a more defensive or offensive posture. However, if we join, the dragons will surely be on the defensive. Then, the war will drag on for even longer.”

“As the occupiers of the Black Sea, one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas, the dragons can be said to be the power with the best geographical conditions. In the Black Sea, their advantage is maximized.”

“With the news we have gathered, the Barren Expanses is not united. War continues to break out. However, the demons could be grouped into four big teams: the dragons, the Ancient Ape Demons, the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s and his allies and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and her allies.”

Zhu Yi continued, “The locations of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage are hard to track. Without the geographical advantage of a powerful, ancestral home, their hard-to-track locations make it difficult to target them. If we want to break the stalemate, we have to attack the Lingyuan Mountains of the Ancient Ape Demons.”

As he said that, light swirled in his two eyes. “Since our sect is doing nothing, the demons would not dare to target important areas in the Divine Lands or Mount Taihua as they fear that we may strike them there.”

“At the same time, since they don’t dare to do too much, they would turn their target to the many Middle Worlds occupied by us humans, or the Outer Realms that are much weaker in terms of defense. These areas could defend against Demonic Lord Stage demons and Undying Demon Soul First Level demons, but when more powerful demons come they will fall easily.”

“A situation beset by such calamities is probably even worse.”

Wang Lin said slowly by the side, “We and the other human powers can attack the Middle Worlds and Outer Realms controlled by the demons. However, this will degenerate into mutually-assured destruction and pillaging. The situation will deteriorate without anyone being able to obtain a crucial success.”

“What’s more crucial is that our hard-earned initiative in the war will be lost.”

Zhu Yi nodded his head and said, “That’s right.”

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to stop their discussions. “The crux to breaking the stalemate is the Lingyuan Mountains. The other demons too are waiting for me to attack the Lingyuan Mountains. Only then could they plan and strategize.”

“Furthermore, while Mount Taihua is a good location, it may not be attractive to the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage as they worried that our attack may just be a ruse and that Mount Taihua is a trap. Even if they act, they will target Mount Taihua. Instead, they will pick a location further away from our sect and the Lingyuan Mountains.”

Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Li Yuanfang looked at each together and said in unison, “They will choose a target in the Divine Lands and attack it.”

Li Yuanfang frowned and said, “However, the Divine Lands is our territory. Even if our sect cannot leave the Lingyuan Mountains in the short run, they may not be able to obtain an advantage.”

Zhu Yi said in a low voice, “That depends on where they pick.”

Lin Feng looked at Zhu Yi and said, “Zhu Yi, you can go with your Higan Golden Bridge to somewhere near the Black Sea first. Try waiting for the Phoenix Grand Sage somewhere near the Purple Mist Sea’s entrance and the Parasol Tree Forest.”

“I just obtain news that the Phoenix Grand Sage is joining the war to help the dragons.”

“The Origins Celestial Dragon has yet to tell everyone that he has fully recovered from his tribulations. By attacking the Black Sea now, the Great Void Sect, in the eyes of the Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees, is taking advantage of the weaknesses of others.”

“While there may be disagreements between the Phoenix Tribe and the dragons, they are still allies. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the Phoenix would choose to assist the dragons.”

Lin Feng said, “If one member of their tribe is involved, it’s likely that the entire tribe will be embroiled. In this case, the Phoenix Grand Sage is the one involved.”

“While our sect does not get along well with the Great Void Sect, the entrance of the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe into the war does not bode well for the Divine Lands. Under increased pressure, if the Great Void Sect loses control of the situation, it will cause the battle to become unfavorable for us.”

While the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had entered the Black Sea, it was not fully recovered. In the Black Sea, the Great Void Sect may take a defensive posture when faced with increased pressure. While they may not necessarily die, the dragons could take advantage of the Great Void Sect’s disadvantage and deploy some of its members to join other battles.

The Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe would not view the Celestial Sect of Wonders as their enemies. They may not even battle the other human sects. However, if the dragons were liberated because of them, then the situation would be very different.

Zhu Yi fell silent for a while and nodded his head. “Yes, master. I will do it immediately.”

Lin Feng said, “Try to ask but do not demand. The Phoenix Tribe could not be forced.”

The Phoenix Grand Sage is in the Vipralopa Stage. Even with Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge, there was no way he could stop her and force her to retreat.

“If you can stop her halfway, that’s the best. If the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Phoenix Tribe are already in the Black Sea by the time you reach, then it’s fine. There’s no need to head towards the Parasol Tree Forest.”

Lin Feng pointed at Zhu Yi’s forehead and a ray of light entered it. “With the Higan Golden Bridge, very few people dare to give you trouble. However, to avoid the possibility that someone may wish to ambush you, I have given you another layer of protection.”

“You have always been calm and collected. I have faith in you. This time, do as you deem fit and trust your own judgment.”

Zhu Yi bowed and said, “Relax, master. I know.” With that, he lifted the Higan Golden Bridge and turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared into the horizon.

Lin Feng turned to Wang Lin and Li Yuanfang and said, “The two of you should head back. While pursuing the Hall of the Dead cultivators, arrange for the more junior disciples to be properly taken care of. Then, concentrate on the Divine lands. It is likely that the Heavenly Charms Golden Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage may attack the Divine Lands.”

Wang Lin and Li Yuanfang bowed and replied, “Yes, master.”

As he watched them leave, Lin Feng looked into the distance and said, “I should act too. Heavenly Charms, Golden Roc, where will your target be? Will you do something unexpected and surprise me? Will the two of you ally and attack Mount Taihua together so as to take it down in the shortest possible time?”

“Perhaps you have allied yourselves with the Ancient Ape Demons and plan on keeping me permanently in the Barren Expanses?”

Lin Feng smiled, and he exchanged a look with his Thunder Dragon Avatar. A smile crossed the human-form Thunder Dragon Avatar’s face. The avatar descended from Mount Yujing, turned into a ray of silvery-white light and disappeared into the void.

Lin Feng himself remained with Mount Yujing. He activated the Two Elements of Creation Formation and was soon enveloped by purple clouds.

The Lingyuan Mountains was one of the Holy Land of the demons. The demons that occupied it formerly ruled the Barren Expanses. Even today, there were one of the more powerful demon tribes, the Ancient Ape Demons.

When the War of the Two Worlds began, the Ancient Ape Demons too moved slowly.

On the main peak of the Lingyuan Mountains, there was an entire-black giant ape with blood-red eyes. A cold look shone from his eyes and one could see his violent, killing intent.

That was a Heavenly Demon Ape and the leader of the Ancient Ape Demons, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. At that moment, he had an ugly expression on his face as he looked into the sky above his head.

The originally-blue sky was now purple. Purple clouds that resembled sea waves spread non-stop as they covered the sky and the sun. Soon, the entire Lingyuan Mountains was covered.

Every powerful ape too noticed the change in the sky. They were momentarily stunned but they soon reacted to it. All of them were filled with complex emotions.

The person whom the purple clouds represented was not unfamiliar to them.

Divine Lands, Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng!

Earlier, Lin Feng’s disciple Shi Tianhao entered the barren Expanses and was ambushed by a few Six-Horned Divine Monkeys. In the end, they were all killed by Shi Tianhao, including the grandson of the Six-Horned Grand Sage. This was the first seed of animosity between the two sides.

Then, in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, the Six-Horned Grand Sage sought revenge for his grandson’s death. Together with the other demons, he sought to attack Lin Feng and his disciples. In the end, he was killed before the very eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. Finally, in the battle in the Star Tomb, the gate to the Starry Sea of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was taken away by Lin Feng.

At that moment, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s face was extremely dark as he looked at the purple clouds in the sky.

The purple clouds opened, and Lin Feng’s figure appeared. He looked down at the Lingyuan Mountains and said, “Heavenly Grandmaster, Crimson Gorilla, how have you been?”
