266: The plan shook all races!

Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged regarding what Donggong Li said, as if he had long expected it.

After all, no matter how strong he was or how easily he could insta-kill foreign Quasi-Emperors, that was limited to Quasi-Emperors.

With the two races having the advantage in numbers and wanting to flee, it was impossible for the Human Race to continue a deep pursuit after gaining such a massive advantage.

The principle of not cornering a desperate foe applied absolutely everywhere.

Thus, he spoke softly.

"Revered Master, just tell me the arrangements."

Donggong Li nodded slightly.

"After discussion."

"First, temporarily abandon the two Yao Race Realms we captured and move Xuanqing Pass back."

"Second, you are to leave immediately and head to Chixuan Pass."

Lin Yan's eyes flickered.

Moving Xuanqing Pass back... going to Chixuan Pass... He instantly understood the purpose of such a strategic plan and spoke with certainty.

"Using strength to strike weakness! Guerrilla warfare!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Donggong Li's mouth.

"Correct."

He turned his head and looked at Lin Yan.

"However, it will be hard on you."

Lin Yan gave a faint laugh, his black and gold robes rustling.

"Revered Master, wait for me!"

With that, he turned without hesitation, waving his hand to sweep up the generals of the Flame Guards, and vanished from the spot.

Donggong Li gazed in the direction Lin Yan had disappeared and murmured softly.

"We... are all waiting for you..."

The alliance of the Five Races was too strong.

Even compared to the Human Race, which had already shown its deep foundation, there was still a clear gap.

But they had a key figure, the fuse of this great war—Lin Yan.

The situation of the battle at Xuanqing Pass would soon spread throughout the starry sky.

Lin Yan's appearance and his combat power would certainly be the focus of the Ten Thousand Races, and it would make the Five Races even more desperate to explore the so-called ultimate Opportunity of the restricted zone.

Therefore, before that, the Human Race internal leadership immediately made a strategic plan.

That was to use Lin Yan as bait to lead the Five Races.

When they came, Lin Yan would leave, using his supreme combat power to gain advantages at other passes, thereby trading space for time.

But this plan also had a fatal flaw.

That was, Lin Yan, the key figure, had to constantly keep the Five Races on edge.

If they went mad at any moment and concentrated all their power to storm a single pass, it would definitely cause an unparalleled impact on the Human Race.

Regarding this issue, the Human Race naturally had its ways.

The Three Thousand Realms of the Starry Sky were so vast that if the Five Races dared to concentrate their forces to storm one place, the Human Race would certainly dare to trade bases.

Of course, this could only be the last resort.

Because if it reached that point, the Human Race, with its massive population, would surely suffer devastating losses.

In summary, once the war began, as long as the Five Races did not want to stop, it was destined not to end in a short time, not to mention that the most critical person, Lin Yan, had appeared this time.

And did Lin Yan know all of this? Of course he did.

Not only did he know, but this was also his own inner plan: to roam between the various passes, attracting the gaze of the Five Races while rapidly improving himself.

That was why he had left without a moment's hesitation just now.

Communication between smart people is always simple and efficient, getting straight to the core... On this day, the armies of the Immortal, God, and Spirit Races that had announced their participation all arrived at the major passes of the Human Race, launching an incredibly fierce battle.

On this day, the major passes of the Human Race, which had shown supreme strength under the joint attack of the Yao and Demon Races, suffered a great defeat; they were forced to give up the Realms they had conquered over the year and instantly lost several more.

It was under these circumstances.

And it was on this very day.

The starry sky was shaken! The Ten Thousand Races were in an uproar!!!

All because of a piece of information that swept through the entire Hongtian Universe like a storm.

[Human Race's Xuanqing Pass! A Great Victory!!!]

How is that possible?!

Just as the Ten Thousand Races, and even the Human Race itself, cast looks of disbelief.

A piece of news that followed immediately caused an even greater shock throughout the starry sky.

[Human Race Supreme One Lin Yan has appeared, sweeping through all Saint-ranks of the Yao and Spirit Races with invincible prowess!]

[Human Race Supreme One Lin Yan stepped into the void, instantly slaying four Middle Stage Quasi-Emperor experts from the two races!]

[Human Race Supreme One Lin Yan did not stop, slaying two more Late Stage Quasi-Emperor experts!]

[Human Race Supreme One Lin Yan!!! Comprehended Laws during the battle! With a cultivation of Eighth Grade Saint-rank Peak, he swept through all Quasi-Emperors!]

[The two races were defeated and retreated! Countless casualties!]

[The Human Race won a great victory! Pursuing for tens of millions of miles!]

The starry sky was silent; the Ten Thousand Races were speechless.

All living beings widened their eyes, their lips trembling incessantly.

Lin Yan! It was Lin Yan! It was still Lin Yan!

All the information pointed to only one name! Human Race Supreme One—Lin Yan!!!

The fuse of this great war finally appeared today, one year later, just as the Immortal, God, and Spirit Races announced their entry into the war and arrived at the Human Race Imperial Pass.

And this single appearance was a storm that swept through the entire starry sky.

No more words were needed; the same thought flashed through the minds of the Ten Thousand Races simultaneously.

Starry Sky Restricted Zone! Ultimate Opportunity!!!

This even included many people from the Human Race who had previously been dismissive!

It must be! It must be the ultimate Opportunity that forged Lin Yan!

At this moment, all living beings chose to forget the various deeds of his that had already spread throughout the starry sky, their minds filled with only two words!

Ultimate! Opportunity!

Then came a madness rushing to their heads and bloodshot eyes fixed on Xuanqing Pass.

This Opportunity! It must belong to our race!!

The Old Ancestors of the Five Races gave the order simultaneously.

"Reduce the forces at other passes and charge straight for Xuanqing Pass! Capture Lin Yan alive!"

They had fallen right into the Human Race high-level leadership's hands... in a place where the ancient aura permeated to the extreme, far heavier than any corner of the Land of Nothingness.

Five figures surrounded a tall, silver-haired man in the center.

From each of them, a trace of imperceptible aura drifted out; however, even such a negligible fluctuation of power was enough to shatter a Realm in an instant.

Accompanied by a dull and heavy voice that resounded like rolling thunder: "Human Race Ancient Ancestor..."

"You have indeed hidden yourself very deeply..."

Human Race Ancient Ancestor had a faint smile on his face, his snow-white silver hair fluttering naturally in the wind as he spoke slowly.

"Since you all have come, then stay here properly."

"Watch closely how your Five Races follow in the footsteps of your ancestors."

As soon as he finished speaking, those five pairs of already sharp and vigorous eyes suddenly narrowed.

Ancestors? Footsteps?

One of them was the first to speak up uncontrollably.

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

Immediately after, the other four also chimed in.

"Hmph! Ancestors? We are the ancestors!"

"Haha, truly ridiculous! We admit that your Late Stage Immortal Emperor cultivation surprised us."

"But to think you can overturn the situation with just a couple of sentences is simply a pipe dream!"

Facing this series of questions and mocking voices, the faint smile on Human Race Ancient Ancestor's face never changed in the slightest.

"Ignorant people often gain a kind of illusory confidence through their own stupidity..."
