Chapter 473 The Scheme (Immortal Veins, Chaos Among the Demon Race)
"Your Majesty, the assassination attempt on the Dragon Emperor has ultimately failed." Liu Feng, with a solemn expression, stepped into the Divine Martial Palace, knelt on one knee, and reported to Qin Wu, his voice tinged with resentment.
"Have you been exposed?" Qin Wu's expression was calm, but a subtle sharpness flashed in his deep eyes. For him, whether the assassination was successful was not the most important thing. The key was not to expose the mastermind behind this operation.
"Fortunately, we weren't discovered. The guards noticed something amiss and immediately made a clean getaway." Liu Feng shook his head slightly and added, "However, news has just arrived that the Dragon Clan has become suspicious of us."
"It's good that we haven't been exposed. As for suspicions, let them speculate." Qin Wu nodded slightly, a meaningful cold smile appearing on his face. "Order the secret guards to remain in hiding for now, and not to make any rash moves lest they expose our presence. Now is not the time to completely reveal our hand." He had already made his calculations. This operation had already sounded the alarm for the Dragon Clan, and there was no need to rush and create unnecessary trouble. Even if the Dragon Clan found out the truth in the future, as long as the Great Qin Dynasty could conquer the other forces one by one, how much of a storm could the Dragon Clan stir up?
"Understood, sir." Liu Feng accepted the order and respectfully withdrew.
"Dragons, oh dragons, do not test my patience any further." Qin Wu murmured to himself, watching Liu Feng's departing figure. His voice was icy and chilling, carrying boundless majesty and awe. He was certain that if the dragons had any sense left, they would weigh the pros and cons. If the dragons dared to disobey again, the consequences would be far more severe than just the deaths of a few people.
.......................................
On the front lines, the flames of war raged, and smoke filled the sky.
Under the fierce attacks of the various clans of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Immortal Clan and the Demon Clan suffered repeated defeats and were powerless to resist.
Vast swathes of territory have fallen one after another. If this trend continues, within hundreds of thousands of years, they will have no place to stand in the Middle Region.
This desperate situation threw both the immortals and the demons into chaos.
In an effort to salvage the situation, they spared no expense, even sending low-level cultivators who had not yet entered the realm of immortality onto the battlefield, completely disregarding their lives.
Upon realizing this situation, Qi Ye and the others immediately reported it.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Wu immediately rode at full speed to the front lines.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!" Inside the tent, the generals knelt and bowed, their voices echoing throughout the tent.
"Generals, no need for formalities, please sit down." Qin Wu strode to the head seat, sat down calmly, his expression stern and his eyes piercing, and asked, "What is the situation at the front now?"
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Vein and the Demon Clan have gone mad. In order to stop our army's offensive, they will stop at nothing and do anything crazy." Qi Ye stepped forward, presented the battle report with both hands, and reported with a serious expression.
Qin Wu took the battle report, quickly glanced through it, and a mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth: "They are indeed ruthless, but this is an excellent opportunity for us. Since they are courting death, they shouldn't blame me for showing no mercy." In his view, the actions of the Immortal Vein and the Demon Clan were undoubtedly digging their own graves, utterly foolish.
"Your Majesty intends to..." Qi Ye asked tentatively.
"That's right. Since they wantonly trample on the lives of the lower classes, they should be prepared to be devoured." Qin Wu's eyes flashed like lightning as he decisively ordered, "Immediately send people to spread rumors..." He wanted the Immortal Vein and the Demon Clan to taste the bitter fruit of their own actions, and to see just how astonishing the power would be unleashed by those lower classes whom they regarded as ants once they erupted.
Upon hearing this, the generals instantly understood.
"Yes, this subordinate understands how to proceed." Qi Ye immediately accepted the order, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.
"Alright, go ahead. All of you go and make the arrangements. I want to see just how entertaining this 'dog-eat-dog' farce really is." Qin Wu waved his hand lightly, signaling the generals to leave.
Under Qin Wu's orders, all the spies and members of the Luo Wang network of the Great Qin Dynasty were dispatched.
In an instant, rumors spread like wildfire across the territories of the immortal and demonic factions, causing widespread panic.
Those who harbored resentment towards the Immortal Vein, or even deep-seated hatred, secretly took action under the instigation of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Some dynasties and imperial dynasties took the lead in launching a massive wave of rebellions, causing the immortal veins to be engulfed in flames and fall into an unprecedented crisis.
The same applies to the demon race; on the surface, they appear to be a united front, but in reality, they are plagued by complex internal conflicts.
From birth, demons have been struggling in brutal battles, resorting to any means for profit. The fighting between brothers and sisters, and between different clans, has never stopped.
They are like barrels filled with gunpowder; a single spark is all it takes to trigger a massive explosion.
Once the rumors about the Great Qin Dynasty spread, they instantly ignited the long-standing conflicts between them, plunging the Demon Clan into chaos and a chaotic battle.
Under the relentless pressure from the Qin Dynasty, the allied forces of immortals and demons completely collapsed, utterly powerless to resist.
The war unfolded even more smoothly than Qin Wu had anticipated.
Looking at the constant stream of good news, Qin Wu's face revealed a smug smile, as if everything was under his control.
Inside the tent.
The lights flickered, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and enthusiastic.
A general stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, “Your Majesty, should we intensify our attacks on the Immortal Vein and the Demon Clan? Their internal strife is a perfect opportunity for us to seize them in one fell swoop.”
Qin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of his seat as he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "This matter cannot be decided rashly. Although the Immortal Vein and the Demon Clan are currently in chaos, even a cornered beast will fight back. If we push them too hard, they are very likely to launch a desperate counterattack, and we will also suffer considerable losses."
Qi Ye also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. However, we cannot miss this great opportunity. In my humble opinion, we can first send out small elite troops to harass their rear and disrupt their plans. At the same time, we can continue to use rumors to divide their forces. Once they are completely thrown into disarray, we can launch a full-scale attack."
After listening, Qin Wu nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Qi Ye, your idea is good. As you said, send out elite troops first. Remember, do not linger in battle, focus on harassment and sabotage. At the same time, the spies and the people of Luo Wang should continue to intensify the spread of rumors, further exacerbating their internal conflicts."
"Yes, sir!" the generals replied in unison.
"Also, keep a close eye on the Dragon Clan's movements." Qin Wu's expression turned serious. "Since the Dragon Clan has already become suspicious of us, it's hard to guarantee they won't make a move at this time. If they interfere in matters between immortals and demons, our plans will become much more unpredictable."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will certainly keep an eye on it," a general in charge of intelligence quickly replied.
After making the arrangements, Qin Wu leaned back in his chair, gazing at the night sky outside the tent, and thought to himself: This chaotic conflict is about to enter a new phase. Who will have the last laugh? Let's see how the situation develops.
