442: Chapter 452 The Lingxiao Alliance Turns to Demonic Form!

In the center of the Brilliant Star Domain, a massive fortress hovered amidst the starry sky.

There were not many heavy guards outside the fortress, but deadly shadow killing arrays were hidden in every inch of the Void Realm.

Inside the strategic command room on the very top layer of the fortress.

Su Yuan was draped in a sleek black robe with dark gold textures, his hands clasped behind his back, staring deeply at the three-dimensional map of the Brilliant Star Domain.

Ever since the Lingxiao coalition forces were subdued by Su Feng in winter, Su Yuan had led the elites of the Shadow Pavilion like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into the heartland of the Lingxiao Alliance.

Under Su Yuan's unfathomable methods and the powerful offensive of his intelligence network, more than half of the massive territory of the Lingxiao Alliance had been nibbled away in just a short span of one year.

Yet.

Old Master Jin had uncharacteristically made no move at all.

"Very strange..."

Su Yuan gazed at the red patch on the map representing the final core area of the Lingxiao Alliance, his brows knitted tightly together.

"What's so strange about it?"

Void Emperor stood to the side, asking with some confusion.

As a Great Emperor specially invited by Su Feng, he was usually only responsible for fighting. He had never been able to get much word in regarding such brain-burning Sect gamesmanship.

Su Yuan closed his eyes slightly, walked over to the command table and sat down, his slender fingers rhythmically tapping against his leg.

Within the Su Family, when it came to frontal army commanding and battlefield tactics for large legions, he admitted he was inferior to the Female War God Wu Qin.

But when it came to open and covert slaughter between Sects, the game of human hearts, and the peeling away of intelligence layer by layer, looking across the entire Great Thousand Star Domain, there were few people who could outplay him, Su Yuan!

"The overall reaction of the Lingxiao Alliance is too abnormal!"

Su Yuan stopped his tapping, opened his eyes, and his gaze turned sharp.

"According to the current situation, their main forces have already been crippled by us. For those consortium Sects, the best course of action is to know when to yield to current circumstances. Directly surrendering or switching sides is the best way to preserve the Family foundation and minimize losses."

"On the grand scale, the local combat power we are consuming now is actually the capital for fighting the Realm Demons in the future. I don't believe those old foxes who have lived for over ten thousand years cannot see through this point."

"Of course... expecting this group of vampires to have the vision to fight demons for the sake of the Great Thousand Star Domain is indeed asking for a bit too much."

Su Yuan stood up and began pacing in front of the map once more.

"Before I came, I conducted an extremely detailed disassembly of the power structure within the Lingxiao Alliance."

"If no accidents happened along the way, with the penetration capabilities of the Shadow Pavilion, three months would have been enough to internally disintegrate this seemingly massive Alliance interest group."

"Yet now, almost a year has passed. Their baseline remains firmly entrenched within this Star Domain."

Su Yuan turned his head and looked at Void Emperor. "You should know that those gathered around Old Master Jin belong exclusively to the upper-tier interest group of their class. For hundreds of millions of years, these consortiums have grown accustomed to holding high positions and exploiting the lower classes without any bottom line."

"According to the conventional Sect logic of putting interests above all else, after we crushed them with absolute force at the very beginning and displayed the foundation possessed by the Su Family, those consortiums should have decisively abandoned Old Master Jin and switched allegiance to our camp."

"Yet!"

Su Yuan slammed his palm heavily against the table, his eyes gloomy.

"According to the intelligence sent back by the Shadow Pavilion's deepest covert spies, the decision-makers of this interest group actually formed a blood Alliance in a secret gathering, declaring that they would defend the Lingxiao Alliance to the death!"

"Unreasonable! This is highly unreasonable!"

"A bunch of people who regard interests more importantly than their own biological fathers could do such a loyal and righteous thing in a desperate situation? I wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death!"

Void Emperor listened in a daze and instinctively asked, "So... what is your deduction?"

"To be able to make this group of fence-sitters firmly take a stand in the face of certain death, there is only one answer left!"

Su Yuan's eyes were as sharp as blades. "Old Master Jin pulled out even higher interests sufficient to drive them crazy! It made these people choose without hesitation to gamble their lives alongside him!"

Void Emperor still didn't understand. "The Lingxiao Alliance is doomed to perish under the offensive of our Su Family. What kind of interests could make them willing to take their entire Family's resources and go courting death with Old Master Jin? Can they really be this foolish?"

"That is the strangest part!"

Su Yuan habitually wanted to take out a rope to tug on, but halfway through touching it, he put it back down.

A year's time really meant nothing at all for a Star Domain war. Even fighting for centuries was a common occurrence.

But for Su Yuan, intelligence was completely transparent, high-end combat power was completely crushed, and he even had his big brother backing him up.

Ever since he left the Tianyuan Continent in this lifetime, he had never fought such a well-funded and opulent battle!

As a result, in such a crushing matchup, they had been fighting for a year and still hadn't wiped out the old nest of the Lingxiao Alliance?

This made his pride as the master of the Shadow Pavilion feel immensely insulted!

"The temptation of interests is not enough to make them march to their deaths."

Su Yuan's brain began to spin wildly. "To be able to make this group of old foxes who excelled at reading the situation so willingly bind themselves to the war chariot of the Jin Family... there is only one possibility."

"In Old Master Jin's hands, he is grasping some fatal leverage!"

"Moreover, it's leverage sufficient to control all of them!"

"So many fatal handles? How could this possibly be done?" Su Yuan frowned tightly, falling into deep thought.

Just as everyone in the command room fell into silent thought.

The Void Realm of the command room rippled without any warning.

Space tore open, and Su Feng, together with Zhu Nanrong who wore an ice-blue long dress and exuded a cold and striking demeanor, appeared inside the command room.

"You guessed right; it is indeed a fatal leverage."

Su Feng looked at his younger brother, who had always been resourceful and full of plans, a flash of approval crossing his eyes, before calmly stating the reason in an indifferent tone.

"Because the current high-level executives of the Lingxiao Alliance have all undergone demonic transformation."

"What?!"

Void Emperor turned pale with fright.

Upon hearing these words, Su Yuan was initially startled, his pupils shrinking abruptly, before all the inexplicable logical threads in his mind instantly formed a closed loop.

He came to a sudden realization and slammed his fist against the sandbox!

"That makes sense!"

"I was wondering why this group of parasites would accompany the Lingxiao Alliance to their deaths."

"For this group of people, if the Lingxiao Alliance was gone, they could still have a Beixiao Alliance or a Dongxiao Alliance! So that was where the problem lay!!"

"Big Brother, I know what to do. I will contact Sister-in-law Wu Qin right now and have her lend me the Silver Dragon Army under her command. Within a month, I guarantee I'll take down the Lingxiao Alliance!"

Su Yuan's eyes were filled with ferocity. The reason he hadn't attacked rashly was precisely to guard against any trump cards Old Master Jin might have possessed.

Now that he already knew the result, there was no need to be timid and hesitant anymore!

"No! Don't rush for now!"

Who would have thought that Su Feng suddenly reached out to stop Su Yuan, a meaningful expression appearing on his face.

"Keep them for now... I have my own uses for them!"

After speaking, Su Feng took out the Brilliant Star Sea ticket in his hand.

"I want to see what kind of expression this Empress Fanyin will have after learning that her home is infested with cockroaches!"
