Chapter 526
Her words were like thunder, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, full of dominance, making the heaven and earth tremble.
At this moment, Qingtian frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He clasped his fists and took a step forward, saying respectfully to Luoxia:
"My lord, the Dark City Lord, Li Heizi, may be only at the Immortal King level, but his strange methods and immense strength are truly terrifying. Among his peers, he is unrivaled, like a wolf king in the dark night, fierce and cunning, having thwarted countless opponents. In my opinion, we must not underestimate him. We should dispatch the Immortal Emperor directly to slay him once and for all. Without him, the rest will be nothing more than a mob, like chickens and pottery dogs, nothing to be feared. We will then be able to easily defeat them."
Qingtian's voice was steady and powerful, revealing his fear of Li Heizi and his judgment of the situation.
Hearing this, Luoxia frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a moment, she slowly spoke:
"Qingtian, we must not rush things at this moment. Look at the human and demon races; haven't they yet deployed any Immortal Emperor-level forces? We might as well hold back for now and buy some time."
Luoxia thought to herself:
"Are you kidding? The situation right now is like a taut bowstring. A single misstep could unleash a thousand arrows. The passage to the True Demon Realm is about to open. At this critical juncture, if we rashly engage in a decisive battle with the human race, we'd be courting death. This is no joke! Once the Immortal Emperors from both sides join the fray, the scene will be like the collapse of the heavens and the earth. The situation will spiral out of control, and the entire Immortal Realm will be plunged into an abyss of no return."
She looked down at her body again, her expression becoming more serious:
"Besides, I'm suffering from a strange injury, and no matter what I do, I can't recover. If I were to engage in battle with the humans, if their Immortal Lord were to attack, I wouldn't stand a chance of winning. My only hope now is to wait for the arrival of the Demon Emperor from the True Demon Realm. Only with the Demon Emperor's power can we possibly defeat the two Immortal Lords of the Human and Demon Races and completely destroy them. Otherwise, we have no chance of winning."
Thinking of this, Luoxia narrowed her narrow eyes slightly, a light flashed in her eyes, and after a moment of thought, she slowly spoke:
"For now, let's just let go of some of the territory in the Japanese Immortal Realm. It's like playing chess. If we give up a few pieces for now, we'll have the opportunity to rearrange our positions and regain the lost territory later."
Qingtian nodded upon hearing this, his brows furrowed, his face filled with worry. He bowed respectfully towards Luoxia and said in a serious tone:
"Sir, we are suffering from a serious loss of combat power below the Immortal King level. If this continues, it will be like the foundation of a house being continuously eroded. In the long run, the house will collapse, which will be extremely disadvantageous to us."
Luoxia nodded slightly and said solemnly:
"Qingtian, you're right. The loss of combat power below the Immortal King level must be controlled. Pass on my order for the Japanese soldiers on the front lines to tighten their defenses and avoid unnecessary clashes. We must conserve our manpower to deal with more complex situations later."
Qingtian replied:
"Your Excellency is wise. However, the humans and demons are always cunning. Seeing that we have weakened our defenses, they may intensify their advance. We must have a countermeasure."
A cold light flashed in Luoxia's eyes:
"Hmph, if they dare to advance rashly, we'll set up traps and restrictions in key areas. We'll use some Immortal King-level magic weapons as bait to lure them deeper, and then activate the restrictions. Even if we can't severely injure them, we'll at least make them wary."
Qingtian thought for a moment and said:
"Sir, the Dark City Lord, Li Heizi, and his Anbu forces are also making moves. They are numerous and cannot be underestimated. Do we need to formulate a strategy specifically targeting them?"
Luoxia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile:
"Li Heizi is just a minor character, so don't worry about him for now. Once we've dealt with the main threats from both the human and demon races, it will be easy to deal with him. Our priority now is to stabilize the situation and wait for the passage to the True Demon Realm to open and the Demon Emperor to descend. Until then, we can't let ourselves get caught up in the dilemma of fighting on multiple fronts."
Qingtian clasped his fists and accepted the order:
"Yes, sir. I will immediately arrange to shrink the defenses and set traps. However, we must also monitor the movements of all parties involved so that we can adjust our strategy promptly if any new developments arise."
Luoxia waved her hand:
"Go ahead and keep a close eye on all forces, especially the actions of the higher-ups of the human and demon races. Report any signs of trouble to me immediately."
Qingtian turned and left, quickly conveying Luoxia's order.
Luoxia stood alone in the hall, looking into the distance with deep eyes, silently thinking about the follow-up plans in her mind. She knew very well that in the ever-changing situation in the fairy world, if she was not careful, she would be doomed, but for the ultimate victory, she had to proceed step by step.
