511: Chapter 511 Yunyi's Scheme
What did Fang Bai promise Young Master Tang?
Naturally, it was to join the Star Domain Alliance.
As far as Fang Bai was concerned, he didn't care whether the Star Domain Alliance was good or bad.
Advancement!
Becoming stronger!
His ultimate goal was to take down the Evil Demon Clan!
And the Star Domain Alliance had always been mortal enemies with the Evil Demon Clan!
For him, this was simply going with the flow.
Not only that, the other party had promised to help him obtain the source heart.
Fang Bai was more than happy to accept.
Of course, if they went back on their word, it wouldn't be a big deal to Fang Bai; at worst, he would just kill them all!
After advancing a bit further, Young Master Tang signaled everyone to stop.
Young Master Tang glanced back, his eyes narrowing.
"Reasonably speaking, this place shouldn't be a secret anymore. Why isn't there any trace of anyone else's presence around?"
He was still very cautious and noticed something was wrong immediately.
Fang Bai said indifferently, "We didn't invite Yun Yi. He's a businessman. Faced with the massive temptation of a source heart, there's no way a merchant would just let it go. Even if he knows he can't beat us, he'll still cause trouble from the shadows..."
As he spoke, he and Young Master Tang locked eyes and said in unison, "Borrowing a knife to kill!"
Young Master Tang looked at Fang Bai with admiration in his eyes. "Brother Fang is indeed clever. I, Tang, did not misjudge you."
Fang Bai said calmly, "Even a fool could guess that."
As soon as he said this, the others immediately looked embarrassed.
Because they hadn't thought of it at all.
Didn't that make them look like idiots?
"Yun Yi must have told others the location of the source heart. Since he knows our strength, he will definitely inform the Seven Great Powers so they'll fight us to a standstill where both sides suffer. Furthermore, the source heart's location is guarded by a powerful exotic beast. We'll be caught between two fires, leaving us in a very passive position." Fang Bai's gaze was profound, his mind racing.
He usually didn't like using his brain. With absolute strength, why bother talking nonsense with opponents?
It was just that he wasn't invincible right now.
Old Li spoke up then, "Even if they come, I shall deal with them myself."
Fang Bai glanced at him. "Do you think you're the only Tenth Order Late Stage on this entire continent?"
Old Li narrowed his eyes. "They can be counted on one hand."
Fang Bai said indifferently, "But if they join forces, can you take them all on?"
Old Li fell silent.
He couldn't.
At most, he could hold off two experts of the same realm.
Young Master Tang said slowly, "As far as I know, the Tenth Order Late Stage experts on this continent are basically all from the Seven Great Powers. The most are from the Yao Mu Clan, which has two, and then there's the Great Elder of the Stone Clan. As for the rest, I don't know."
Fang Bai said shockingly, "How can you be sure that the Evil Demon Clan hasn't come?"
Young Master Tang was stunned, and his expression immediately became grave.
"You mean the Evil Demon Clan has entered as well?"
Fang Bai smiled faintly. "Since your Star Domain Alliance has mobilized, the Evil Demon Clan naturally won't be absent."
Young Master Tang frowned. "That would be troublesome then."
He really hadn't considered this issue beforehand, and he believed Fang Bai's judgment because the possibility was quite high!
Why would the Evil Demon Clan appear here? Naturally, because of the civilization fragment!
The Evil Demon Clan had been collecting civilization fragments across various civilized universes, and they would definitely not let Yi Mu go.
It could only be said that they had been waiting for an opportunity to strike like lightning!
Clearly, this struggle for the source vein was that very opportunity!
Fang Bai looked at everyone's faces and shook his head inwardly.
It seemed these guys weren't very bright...
Should he just pack up and bail?
Young Master Tang looked at him and asked seriously, "Then, according to Brother Fang, what should we do?"
Fang Bai said indifferently, "Since Yun Yi wants us to kill each other, we'll do the opposite and take him out first!"
Hearing this, Young Master Tang was taken aback.
Old Li spoke up then, "I support this. That Yun Yi dares to plot against my Star Domain Alliance; he naturally deserves to die!"
Young Master Tang pondered for a moment and then said, "I'll have Old Li take action. That should be enough to deal with them."
Fang Bai shook his head. "No, Old Li is the strongest among us, so he's definitely being monitored. He cannot leave, lest we alert the enemy."
Young Master Tang looked at him. "Then who would be suitable?"
Fang Bai said without changing his expression, "Me!"
Everyone was stunned, but upon reflection, they found it reasonable.
Fang Bai's strength was undoubtedly formidable. If he took action, the chance of killing Yun Yi and the others would be high.
Young Master Tang pondered slightly and then nodded. "Then let's do that. But how will you find them?"
The corner of Fang Bai's mouth curled up. "I have my ways."
When leaving the Ancient Merchant Guild, he had left a clone to secretly follow Yun Yi, which was how he detected the other's plan immediately.
And Yun Yi couldn't possibly be without greed for the source heart, so he must be nearby!
Exactly where he was, only Fang Bai knew.
Fang Bai quietly departed, while Young Master Tang and the others continued forward.
Old Li looked at Young Master Tang and said, "Young Master, that Fang Bai has other motives."
Young Master Tang smiled slightly. "It's understandable. A person like him is naturally extremely clever. However, as long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine."
Old Li said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid he's colluding with Yun Yi and the others to deal with us?"
If Fang Bai really joined forces with other powers, it would put them in a very passive position.
Because on this trip, Young Master Tang only brought Old Li; the rest were recruited subordinates whose strength wasn't high.
Although the two of them were strong, they couldn't withstand being ganged up on!
Young Master Tang said confidently, "Naturally, I'm not worried. A figure like Brother Fang would disdain such petty behavior. Of course, others might not be the same. The Evil Demon Clan is likely already on this continent..."
At this point, he said decisively, "Call for reinforcements!"
Damn it! He was going to call for backup!
...
On the other side, atop a hidden oasis.
Just as Fang Bai had guessed, Yun Yi and the others had already followed them quietly.
Around them, an invisible barrier isolated their presence.
It was undoubtedly a taboo artifact!
"President, we have already spread the location of the source heart. Those people are already on their way," General Lei Jin said.
Yun Yi nodded slightly. "Well done."
General Lei Jin paused and then said, "Are we really going to wade into these muddy waters?"
Yun Yi chuckled. "What? Are you afraid?"
General Lei Jin said in a deep voice, "Their strength is very great; we are no match for them."
"That's why I'll let them fight first. Once they've beaten each other up, I'll make my move!"
A hint of greed appeared in Yun Yi's eyes. "Do you know how vast the resources they carry are? Not just source crystals, but also source qi! And taboo artifacts!"
"In the end, all of these will be ours!"
Hearing this, greed also surfaced on the faces of the others.
If they pulled off this job, breaking through would be as easy as turning over a hand!
"Besides, we are very secure right now. No one will find out that we are here," Yun Yi said flatly.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Just then, an eerie voice rang out.
