Chapter 2300: Counterattack Plan

Zu An’s attention returned to reality. The others were still confused as to why he had suddenly killed the True Demon Emissary instead of keeping him alive for questioning. However, he didn’t explain himself. Instead, he had the Yun Clan Master bring everyone to the transport formation that the True Demon Emissary had been working on this whole time.

After seeing the True Demon Emissary killed like a chicken, the Yun Clan Master didn’t even dare to think of resisting in the slightest. He quickly led the way to make up for his wrongs through merit.

...

Their group quickly entered the depths of the Yun clan. This was normally a restricted area; not many people in the entire Yun clan had the authority to come here. But the Yun Clan Master was leading the way and they had just witnessed Zu An’s power. Who would dare to say a single thing?

This was a hidden valley in the mountains behind the Yun clan. There were special rocks piled up in all directions, forming a set pattern. Almost everyone present could vaguely sense that there was a wave of powerful spatial energy rippling through the area.

Xie Daoyun cried out in surprise. “This is a large-scale spatial transport formation! It’s at least several centuries more advanced than the formation knowledge of this world!”

She was proficient in runes and formations, and once had a miraculous encounter in the secret dungeon that greatly widened her knowledge. When she saw the formation, her eyes shone and she seemed to have gained some insights herself.

“Little sister Ling’er, can you understand this formation?” Zu An asked in surprise. Xie Daoyun’s growth was much faster than he had expected.

“This should be a large-scale formation that can enable interstellar transportation.” Xie Daoyun was really excited. “I need some time, but I should be able to understand it. If we leave this to the academy, we should be able to imitate and even make improvements upon it.”

“Then please make use of this chance to research it.” Zu An chuckled. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. These kinds of formations normally only existed in ancient ruins and were very rare. He would feel more at ease having the technology fully in their grasp.

Suolun Shi suddenly shouted, “The White Tiger Stone is starting to become hot!”

After the Suolun Clan Master handed the White Tiger Stone to Zu An, he had given it to Suolun Shi for safekeeping. Now, she sensed something strange happening to it and took it out. Sure enough, it was shining, and a white tiger projection was faintly visible.

At the same time, the surrounding formation gradually lit up. Streaks of dark blue faintly materialized and formed patterns. Then, they all joined together to form a large-scale transport formation. The east, north, and south directions’ special stones all shone as well. The Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird images also faintly materialized, resonating with the White Tiger Stone in Suolun Shi’s hands. The spatial ripples became even more prominent, and some patterns became visible in the air, as if a large gate was about to form.

Suddenly, a kind of pull emanated from the western altar. Suolun Shi cried out, because she was caught off guard and the White Tiger Stone flew toward the platform.

However, with a wave of Zu An’s hand, the White Tiger Stone was intercepted. When it entered his hands, the burning hot stone gradually calmed down. The other three Four Symbols Stones couldn't sense the White Tiger Stone’s presence anymore and the images on them gradually faded. The blue light gradually dimmed, then disappeared.

When he saw the others' shocked expressions, Zu An explained, “This transport formation is linked to the Monster World. We shouldn’t leave without completing proper preparations.”

After hearing that, everyone present still felt lingering fear. Had they not stopped it in time and rashly opened up the passage, countless monsters would have invaded. That kind of situation would be extremely difficult to deal with.

“Little sister Ling’er, this formation seems to still be a bit incomplete in some areas. Will you be able to complete it?” Zu An had studied the Baopu Sutra, so he naturally understood this formation as well. However, he had more pressing matters to take care of and couldn't invest too much time here.

“I need a few days to study it. But this formation is already ninety percent complete. I should be able to complete the rest,” Xie Daoyun said after thinking to herself for a bit.

“That’s good. I’ll be troubling you then.” Zu An then let Yun Yuqing handle the Yun Clan Master, while Suolun Shi would take care of the Wu and Rong clan.

The Wu and Rong Clan Masters sighed in relief. Even though they had attacked the Suolun Clan, they had still been coerced, so they didn’t carry as much of a grudge against the Suolun Clan. They would probably still be fine.

But after thinking for a bit, they remembered that Suolun Shi had privately sought them out, and yet they had betrayed her and used her to threaten the Suolun Clan. Their expressions immediately became dismal.

We’re finished; we’re done for. This girl won’t carry a grudge, will she?

The Yun Clan Master was in an even more sullen position. If he had been handed to Suolun Shi to deal with, perhaps he could still have lived. After all, Suolun Shi could choose to spare him out of consideration for Yun Yuqing. But if Yun Yuqing were to deal with him, she would definitely punish him severely in the name of justice.

Furthermore, he had single-handedly uprooted her father’s work, and it was also because of him that she'd had no choice but to go to the human world and endure the shame of marrying a human to carry out the Demon race’s great plans. There was no way she wouldn’t carry resentment over that.

Zu An didn’t care how they handled the situation. Instead, he gathered the women in his room to explain what he had learned to them.

They were all really shocked when they heard about the monsters’ situation. They hadn’t expected the domineering monsters to actually be on the brink of collapse. They were also amazed that Zu An had managed to acquire so much information in such a short amount of time. They began to blame themselves for misunderstanding him earlier.

“I obtained some special skills from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons in the Ocean races, and they are very useful for questioning...” Zu An told them about what had happened back then. This was the first time Pei Mianman had heard about these things, so she was really amazed. She also felt a bit frustrated.

What secluded cultivation was I even doing? I’ll improve much faster at Ah Zu’s side.

“I'll merge Hell with this world. Once I merge the two, the world’s laws will become more powerful and all of the cultivators of this world will advance much more smoothly. Make your preparations and don't waste this opportunity,” Zu An reminded them.

Now that some time had already passed, the Imperial Court, Fiend races, and Ocean races would likely have already completed their preparations. It was time to merge the worlds to increase people's cultivations.

Jiang Luofu suddenly frowned. Her beautiful legs couldn't help but change positions. “Ah Zu, are you planning to pay a visit to that Monster World?”

Zu An was a bit surprised. “I can’t hide anything from big sis principal after all. That was indeed my intention.”

“But why aren’t we guiding those monsters here instead? I’m sure there aren’t many monsters left, and if we eliminate them a few more times, they'll be completely done for. The Monster Lord is so strong too, so going into the Monster World is just too risky. Since you already grasp the authority of this world, it should be easier for you to fight him with our home advantage.” Jiang Luofu was confused.

“That’s what I was thinking previously too, but the Monster Lord isn’t stupid. There's no way he would place himself in such danger,” Zu An explained. Judging from the restrictions the Monster Lord had placed on the monsters, he knew that the other party was an extremely prudent individual. Why would the Monster Lord take the risk to pass through a world barrier and fight him in a weakened state?

“But of course, there's a more important reason. I learned that the Monster World is also facing a disaster. If we accidentally brought over the terrifying being destroying the Monster World while planning an ambush for the monsters, that would be the worst case scenario.”

The Annihilation Beast was something not even the powerful Monster World could defeat. Zu An didn’t believe this world had the ability to stop it.

The women all gasped. They were all grateful that Zu An had considered the bigger picture. If they ended up bringing that thing to this world, that would really be an apocalyptic event.

“But that Monster Lord is too strong, and this world is about to be destroyed. It’s too dangerous for you to go, big brother Zu.” Ji Xiaoxi was really worried.

“In many cases, it’s fine if you don’t know, but once you do find out, it’s still better to take a look.” Zu An rubbed her head and chuckled. “Don’t worry, it’s not as if I haven’t experienced more dangerous situations before. I'll be careful.”

Pei Mianman suddenly said, “I’ll go with you. Since they need some Demon race saintess or whatever, there’s definitely a reason for it. I am still a Demon race saintess, for better or worse, and I can also look after you over there.”
