Chapter 179 - Nine Stellarons + the Ambrosial Arbor + a Lord Ravager = The Greatest Crisis

Faced with the combined attack of Jingliu and Jing Yuan, even if Luocha considered himself skilled, he would never think he was a match for the Xianzhou general.

It had nothing to do with martial arts. The power the other party held belonged to an Emanator of the Hunt, which was enough to crush any existence below an Emanator.

Not to mention, to be able to calculate his every move so clearly, that Master Diviner Fu Xuan must have been involved.

No matter what he intended to do, as long as he was completely exposed in the eyes of this Master Diviner, he had no chance.

So, he gave up resistance very decisively and questioned Jingliu.

"Terminate the plan... Do you know what you're saying?"

Not to mention that their common goal needed to be achieved through this plan, even if that wasn't considered, they had already come this far. Even if they terminated it, it was too late.

Although he couldn't contact that Lord Ravager, she must have already arrived at the Xianzhou.

"Of course I know." Jingliu nodded seriously. "Our plan has long been exposed and cannot succeed. So now, I have accepted a new invitation and am preparing to start another plan."

"So, are you willing to cooperate with Lord Su Mo's new plan? Of course, whether you accept or refuse, this lord's plan will be implemented."

In yesterday's exchange, although she hadn't figured out how her plan was exposed, she had understood a very important point.

That was, compared to the original plan, Su Mo's version of the plan was more likely to achieve her goal.

After realizing this possibility, she immediately changed her mindset and joined Su Mo's plan.

Luring Luocha out at this moment was just a pledge of allegiance.

"Lord Su Mo..."

Hearing this name, Luocha pondered slightly.

The ceremony of being led by the Master Diviner and waited upon by the General was too grand, so much so that the entire Luofu was discussing the identity of the guest, wanting to know why Su Mo had received such high-level treatment.

Luocha had naturally also heard of Su Mo's deeds.

"That uncrowned genius saw through our plan and intends to start a new one?"

From Jingliu's words, Luocha deduced the key to her defection. After a few seconds of thought, he asked with extreme calm, "Why do you trust him? Jingliu, this is not your style."

He believed that if Su Mo really had similar ideas, as a genius, he could indeed come up with something new and think of a new plan.

But before that, the first thing that needed to be solved was the issue of trust. What made him believe that Su Mo really had the same goal as him?

"Because he is strong. He is very strong."

Recalling the power Jibril had displayed, Jingliu's expression became slightly solemn.

"So strong that he doesn't need to lie to me about this. And, we have no room to refuse."

Faced with a strong person of this caliber, besides submission, any other action was meaningless.

The reason Jingliu gave was undoubtedly insufficient, far from proving that Su Mo sincerely had the same goal.

But Luocha did not continue to question it. Instead, after a long silence, he nodded.

"You're right. I have no right to refuse."

"So, what do you want me to do next? Do you want to know about that Lord Ravager, or do you plan to throw me into the Shackling Prison, or do you just want the Stellaron in my hand?"

With no way out, his attitude was exceptionally straightforward.

To this, Jingliu immediately replied, "That lord's meaning is for you to continue with the previous plan and put the Stellaron into the Ambrosial Arbor."

"!"

Hearing this, Luocha raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jing Yuan, who had no reaction. His expression could no longer hide the shock in his heart.

This was tantamount to throwing a nuclear bomb into an ordinary country, but Jing Yuan actually had no intention of objecting.

"Even the general of the Xianzhou was convinced? He was even willing to approve such a dangerous plan... That lord is truly surprising!"

After the shock, he nodded.

"If we proceed according to the previous plan, with the Xianzhou's tacit approval, it will naturally be simple."

"However, if that's the case, why was it necessary to capture me? Even if you didn't come to capture me, I would have acted according to the original plan, right?"

At this point, Luocha was a little puzzled.

No matter how you looked at it, it was safer to hide the news of her betrayal.

"Your task indeed remains unchanged. You're just carrying a few more things."

At this moment, a very young, but extremely majestic girl's voice sounded.

Fu Xuan walked over with small steps, her small face full of seriousness as she pushed a suitcase to Luocha.

"This is His Excellency Su Mo's task... These eight Stellarons are to be put into the Ambrosial Arbor one after another with the one in your hand. Be sure to control the time to avoid causing a great disaster!"

She, who was always majestic, had her small hands trembling slightly at this moment.

Eight Stellarons. This was a catastrophic force that was enough to pierce through the entire Xianzhou Luofu.

If it weren't for Su Mo's task, if it weren't for the fact that the divination result indicated that this was a necessary risk, even if you beat Qingque to death, Fu Xuan would not have dared to transport eight Stellarons alone.

She was still young and didn't want to die in the line of duty while transporting dangerous goods before she became a general.

Su Mo was playing too big, so big that even she was a little scared.

"Eight Stellarons?!"

Even Luocha was completely stunned.

For a top cosmic force like the Xianzhou Alliance or the Interastral Peace Corporation, the disaster caused by one Stellaron was nothing. They could easily solve it.

Even in their previous plan, the Stellaron was just a catalyst. The real thing that could cause a huge change was the Abundance's miracle, the Ambrosial Arbor.

But if there were eight Stellarons together, and a total of nine Stellarons including the one in his hand appeared on the Xianzhou at the same time, even if they didn't assimilate with the Ambrosial Arbor, it would be enough to cause a crisis that could subvert the entire Luofu.

And now, from Su Mo's meaning, he actually intended to completely combine the nine Stellarons with the Ambrosial Arbor.

"Are you really sure that His Excellency Su Mo is our ally?"

Although he felt that he was not in a position to say this, Luocha couldn't help but ask.

"The Ambrosial Arbor, plus those nine Stellarons, plus a Lord Ravager... A disaster of this level is enough to destroy the entire Xianzhou Luofu. Even a Hunt Emanator like General Jing Yuan might not be able to contend with a Destruction Lord Ravager with such a buff, right?"

At the end, he couldn't help but look at Jing Yuan.

Because the concept of its Path was relatively narrow, the Aeon of the Hunt was originally one of the weaker ones among the many Aeons. However, its blessings to its Emanators were more generous than the average Aeon, so the strength of a Hunt Emanator was generally not inferior to others.

However, even if Jing Yuan's strength could be compared to a Lord Ravager, it would be difficult to fight against Phantylia, who had combined the power of both Abundance and Destruction, not to mention the buff of nine Stellarons.

How could one fight against such a lineup?

If the worst-case scenario of their plan was a tragic victory for the Xianzhou Luofu...

Then according to Su Mo's plan, the worst-case scenario might be the destruction of the Xianzhou Luofu.

Luocha couldn't understand what gave Jing Yuan the confidence to let Su Mo carry out such a dangerous plan.

Faced with this question, Jing Yuan smiled slightly.

"Since it was a plan proposed by His Excellency Su Mo himself, he naturally has a way to deal with it."

Tingyun had reported on Jibril's strength, so he wasn't too worried.

Even if he couldn't do it, if he joined forces with Jibril, an Emanator-level combatant, he should be able to fight against the doubly-buffed Lord Ravager, right?

Not to mention, Su Mo was watching from the side.

Whether from the comparison of strength or the result of Fu Xuan's divination, the risk of Su Mo's plan was within a controllable range.

"...Even if something uncontrollable happens, we are prepared to move the Delve where the Ambrosial Arbor is located and send a signal to the Divine Bow of the Hunt." Jing Yuan said calmly.

"..."

Luocha fell silent.

Although the other party's tone sounded very calm, he couldn't help but feel like he was flexing.

That's right. Among all the Aeon factions in the universe, there were very few that could directly summon their Aeon to act.

No matter how strong Phantylia was buffed, as long as Jing Yuan and the others made preparations in advance to prevent secondary damage, they could directly summon the arrows of the Divine Bow of the Hunt and have them sweep away the demons.

In this regard, the Xianzhou had a unique advantage.

That's why they dared to take this gamble.

"I understand." Luocha nodded, no longer having any questions.

With an Aeon as the final guarantee, there was no need to worry about anything else.

The only thing that still puzzled him was why the Xianzhou was willing to provide such convenience. What had that uncrowned genius promised them?

With doubts, he very cautiously took the eight Stellarons from Fu Xuan and sealed them in the coffin on his back.

That night, under the full surveillance of Fu Xuan, Jing Yuan, and others, he approached the Ambrosial Arbor and, in a specific order, put in the Stellarons, causing the Ambrosial Arbor to mutate.

In the early morning of that day, the Ambrosial Arbor mutation shocked the entire Luofu, and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus began to stir.

In the midst of the chaos, the Cloud Knights completely sealed off the Ambrosial Arbor, forbidding anyone from approaching.

Anyone who approached without the general's warrant would be detained and investigated as a suspicious person.

And it was on this morning that the foxian girl, Tingyun, received a transfer order from her superior.

"What? Lady Yukong wants me to act as a guide and lead Lord Su Mo on a tour of the Ambrosial Arbor?"

Looking up at the Ambrosial Arbor in the sky, which had grown from a severed state to a more lush one than in the mythical era overnight, Tingyun's face became bitter.

"This kind of dangerous errand is not something a weak little fox like me can handle! Wuu... If I had known, I wouldn't have boasted about leading the benefactor and the others on a tour of the Luofu!"

Pating her chest, the pretty girl let out a small cry of sorrow.

In the next moment, behind her, a wisp of golden flame suddenly expanded, burning the entire foxian girl to ashes. In a daze, a scarecrow-like phantom seemed to appear, leaving only a pile of straw ash.

"Eh?"

Phantylia, who had transformed into Tingyun's appearance, looked at the ashes on the ground strangely.

The devouring of a heliobus usually left no trace. Why would it leave ashes?

At this time, Tingyun's jade abacus buzzed several times, urging her. This made her ignore checking on the life and death of this weak foxian race and leave directly with the jade abacus.

"Hehehe... Those guys are so capable, to revive the Ambrosial Arbor to this extent."

"With the power of Lord Nanook, combined with the miracle of Abundance, I will obtain an unparalleled noble body... In this operation, the advantage is mine!"

With a gloomy chuckle, "Tingyun" swayed her slender figure and walked towards the starskiff heading to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
