435: New plan

Li Changfeng felt it was quite tricky.

According to the plan, the Grand Array set up by Xiao Buyu, the Puppet crafted by I Want to Pilot a Gundam, and some additional Magic Treasures would work together to restrain Feng Chuan and lure him to Sacred Emperor Mountain step by step.

But now, the Grand Array was only half-built, and the Puppet was also only half-finished.

Old Potato, who had provided the exotic fire during the Cloud-Swallowing Whale incident, was even less likely to come and provide support.

They were at a huge disadvantage compared to Feng Chuan.

Feng Chuan had come out of seclusion too early.

"Why is it only two years..."

Li Changfeng pressed his temples and sighed.

He suddenly felt that he had somewhat adapted to the timeline of the Xuanhuan World, actually feeling that two years was a very short time.

During these two years, the East Sea Exploration continued, and everyone discovered quite a few fallen cave heavens in the Ancient Battlefield, expanding the territory significantly.

The Youming Demon Sect in the south suddenly sealed its mountains, and the entire southern region was no longer accessible to players, leaving many players who were exploring southward quite confused, forcing them to change direction.

Li Changfeng knew that the Youming Demon Sect hadn't obtained the Legacy held by the Qingling Sect, so they had to choose another path and might re-emerge in a few decades.

More and more players gathered in the Western Great Desert, with an endless stream of Mortal and Foundation Establishment players heading to Yanwang Prefecture.

It was said that over a hundred Sect forces in Yanwang Prefecture were preparing to jointly hold the [Ascension Assembly] to specifically screen Disciples, which would likely take place in a few months.

In short, while it seemed like a lot had happened in these two years, looking at it as a whole, it didn't seem like anything major had actually occurred.

Under the timeline of the Xuanhuan World, two years really didn't amount to much.

"In any case, we aren't fully prepared now, so we have to change the plan."

Li Changfeng thought calmly and said, "We must utilize Yan Xiao."

Yan Xiao had arrived at Sacred Emperor Mountain just about a month ago.

The reason he was so slow was that he had been struck by a fallen cave heaven just as he was about to reach the Great Wall of the Yao Race.

Afterwards, he learned that it was a cave heaven left behind by Senior members of the Yao Race, containing quite a few Yao Race Legacies and even some essence blood of Great Yao, which could be used to temper the Demon Body.

After a series of events, Yan Xiao became an honored guest of the Demon Race Outside the Wall and was welcomed directly inside the city wall.

It was as if the moment he entered this map, he maxed out the favorability of the Yao Race, which left even Li Changfeng unable to keep a straight face.

Subsequently, Yan Xiao finally arrived at Sacred Emperor Mountain, but before he could climb it, he was surrounded by local players and feted by the Yao Race; in short, he spent the month being treated like the center of attention.

He would likely officially challenge Sacred Emperor Mountain in a few days, so he was free for now.

"Ask Yan Xiao?"

Xiao Buyu pondered for a moment: "I don't think that will work."

"Once Yan Xiao gets involved, there's no telling what direction this will take."

I Want to Pilot a Gundam also nodded and said: "This guy Yan Xiao has something sinister about him; I find it very bizarre."

"Do you guys remember Wan Lin?"

"He started challenging Sacred Emperor Mountain two years ago, but he was always stuck on the cliff between the Dead Flesh Layer and the Living Flesh Layer, unable to climb up no matter what."

"A month ago, just as Yan Xiao stepped onto the territory of the Demon Race Outside the Wall, hey, what a coincidence, a massive earthquake occurred, Sacred Emperor Mountain shook, and suddenly Wan Lin found a way to go up."

"He actually made it to the Living Flesh Layer just like that."

This matter was extremely bizarre.

It was no secret that Wan Lin was challenging Sacred Emperor Mountain, and other players who didn't want to wait for Yan Xiao had gone in to challenge it as well, all knowing his progress.

He was always stuck on the cliff, unable to climb up.

It seemed that after reaching a certain height, his potential formed a balance with the pressure of the Trial Grounds, preventing him from moving an inch forward.

But a month ago, Yan Xiao arrived in the north and suddenly triggered a massive earthquake.

Sacred Emperor Mountain trembled, rocks slid down, and for a brief moment, several footholds appeared.

And so, Wan Lin miraculously climbed up and successfully reached the Living Flesh Layer.

Other players thought it was just Wan Lin's good luck, but Li Changfeng and the others felt it must have something to do with Yan Xiao.

This child of destiny was too uncanny.

Xiao Buyu added: "It's not just Wan Lin. Do you remember Little Wang Flying Dagger? He used to be a Diviner, but it seems he changed classes now; anyway, he's also inside Sacred Emperor Mountain."

"He said he found a second Trial path, but then he spent two years researching it and found nothing."

"Also a month ago, that massive earthquake brought about by Yan Xiao caused a hidden door to suddenly be exposed."

"As soon as Little Wang Flying Dagger went in, he found a new secret chamber with many wordless stone steles; it was practically the location of a Legacy."

"If you say this has nothing to do with Yan Xiao, I wouldn't believe it."

After listening, Li Changfeng pondered for a moment and said: "I know all of this. Indeed, many people think Yan Xiao is outrageous; as soon as he arrives, things become uncontrollable."

"But I think this is most likely just a coincidence."

"A month ago, the fallen cave heaven that Yan Xiao encountered collapsed completely, triggering an unprecedented massive earthquake."

"It was called an earthquake, but in reality, it was a disturbance of the Great Void, which is why it could affect Sacred Emperor Mountain."

"This was just a coincidence; it wasn't caused by Yan Xiao."

After finishing, Li Changfeng paused and continued: "Yan Xiao's strength is sufficiently powerful. If he helps, attracting Feng Chuan won't be a problem."

Xiao Buyu shook his head: "Fine, even if we don't consider the negative impact Yan Xiao brings, if we really want to invite him, how would we persuade him?"

"You have to know that he came here just to seek the immortal path. Why would he help us restrain Feng Chuan?"

"Why would he fight and make an enemy of a True Lord for no reason?"

Li Changfeng was silent for a moment and sighed: "You're right, there is indeed no way to recruit Yan Xiao."

Everyone thought about it again, and finally came up with a relatively reliable plan: "We can do this: continue building the Grand Array and Puppet, and then have someone specifically pass the situation here to Feng Chuan."

"Once Feng Chuan knows that we are trying to target him, it's possible he will take the initiative to come and attack."

"By then, we can lure him into Sacred Emperor Mountain step by step."

This plan was somewhat crude, but the players couldn't come up with any ingenious plans anyway, so they proceeded with it.

...

...

True Lord Feng Chuan was very fast, and with a Formation Master in tow, he actually managed to sneak into the territory of the Yuyao Kingdom without alerting the Demon Control Kingdom Walker.

The Formation Master of the Qingling Sect explained: "This breach has been here for nearly two years, and the Yuyao Kingdom still hasn't repaired it. It likely isn't a minor issue."

Feng Chuan hovered in mid-air, waiting for a period of time, but no Great Yao came to find him.

As expected, the control of the Yuyao Kingdom's throne over its territory had become somewhat weak.

"Interesting..."

The corners of Feng Chuan's mouth curled up; he felt this was an opportunity.

He had long heard that there was another Yao Race in the north of the Yuyao Kingdom, which was a Mortal enemy of the Yuyao Kingdom.

The location of the Qingling Sect was special, requiring them to dance between multiple factions, so he had been thinking about finding an opportunity to contact the Demon Race Outside the Wall.

But there had been no opportunity for a long time.

Now that the Grand Array of the Yuyao Kingdom was broken, he immediately flew north, intending to find the Demon Race Outside the Wall to negotiate.
