Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 766

Chapter 766: A Conspiracy Unveiled Chapter 766: A Conspiracy Unveiled Emerging from the confines of the Dahlia Field, where Yao had forcibly dragged her, Shenlian Yingyue initially dismissed her encounter with him as a mere aberration.

After all, she was human and he was a demon.

Seizing the moment when everyone was distracted by Yao, she made her swift escape.

Jade Orchid and the others attempted to pursue her, but their efforts were futile.

Shenlian Yingyue’s speed was incomparable; her power defied the limits of common understanding.

Yao made no move to intervene.

He was acutely aware that their attempts would be in vain, and even if they somehow succeeded, he had no vested interest in the outcome.

His sole concern lay in ensuring that she did not disrupt the prince’s ritual.

Deliberately veering away from the area Yao had indicated-where the prince was performing some clandestine rite-Shenlian Yingyue resolved not to let curiosity get the better of her.

After all, they say that curiosity kills the cat.

Returning to her allies, she inquired, “How are things looking on your ends?” “Master, getting our hands on the treasures is proving quite difficult,” Xiao Yun noted, positioned at the northern end of the warehouse alongside Xiao Li and Xiao Qiu.

“The security measures are exceedingly tight,” Xiao Nian complained, reporting from the western side where she stood with Lu Long and Feng Huang.

“Their abilities are utterly bizarre,” added Xiao Lan, flanked by Xie Xie and Xiao Mei to the east of the warehouse.

She nodded in agreement to their assessments but cautioned them to tread carefully.  “We have an Upper Rank Demon guarding the treasury.

His power is ‘invisibility.’ If Brother Yun hadn’t detected his presence in time, we would have fallen into their trap,” Tian Tian chimed in, still hidden behind a massive tree at the southern edge of the warehouse alongside Huan Huan and Zhizhi.

“Invisibility…” she mused.

“Invisibility: This demon possesses the ability to render himself completely undetectable in the physical realm, making it perilous for enemies to sense his approach,” Bing Xue elaborated.

“A’Xue, you have extensive knowledge of demons,” she remarked, surprised.

Typically, she would expect Xiao Yun to have such insights.

“It’s merely common knowledge,” Bing Xue replied with a serene smile, though her words did not fully reflect the depths of her understanding.

Shenlian Yingyue opted not to press further into the topic.

“This power is formidable.

Even other demons are unable to detect the presence of this invisible guardian,” Hong Zuan, who perched on her shoulder, added with a furrowed brow.

“If the demon race were to unleash this invisible entity upon the Mortal Realm, it could sow chaos before any cultivators realized the source of the disturbances.” The ominous implications of Hong Zuan’s words hung in the air, and she felt an unsettling chill run down her spine.

They were not merely thieves; they were potential harbingers of chaos, and the stakes were higher than anyone had initially anticipated.

Silence enveloped the group.

“Every individual has a vulnerability.

Once we discover it, we can conquer them,” she observed with an air of tranquility.

“Come back, little ones!

I have a plan!” she declared, beckoning them back with her will.

(Their conversation unfolded through a spiritual link.) Being close to them in the same city made it effortless to draw them into the contract space.

Once gathered, she scanned her surroundings before vanishing into the Ethereal Small World.

[Ethereal Small World] “Master, what’s on your mind?” they eagerly inquired, brimming with anticipation.

“Xiao Li and Zhizhi, you both wield fire abilities, so I need you to ignite the city gate.

Huan Huan, once the flames are alight, use your wind powers to fan them further.

If the gate doesn’t catch fire, you can target the nearby trees.

But remember, leave the west gate untouched,” “That sounds thrilling, Master!” exclaimed Xiao Li, and the others grinned mischievously.

“A contingent of two hundred Red Snakes will be tasked with investigating and freeing the prisoners held by the demons as we create the chaos at the city gate.

Instruct them to remain inconspicuous and act normally.

Once the demons swarm toward the gate, lead the captives out through the safe west gate and escort them to the Sacred Island.” “Xiao Lan, you have ice abilities.

While the others harness fire and wind at the city gate, use your ice powers to freeze the streets to slow down the demons’ advance.” “Understood, Master,” Xiao Lan affirmed, nodding her head.” “If they manage to break the ice, Xiao Qiu, your water abilities will come into play to drown them.” “That’s a fantastic plan!” Xiao Qiu clapped enthusiastically.

“Tian Tian, your thunder powers are crucial here.

If they pose a threat to our team, use your thunder to strike when they step on the water.

The combination of water and thunder will create Electrified Water, leading to electrical shocks.

In a dire situation, it could generate shockwaves powerful enough to knock back or disorient any nearby foes.” “Master, that’s so clever!

I had no idea we could use that strategy,” Tian Tian exclaimed, quickly jotting down notes.

“While they are distracted, Xiao Mei, use your abilities to send out the Spirit Bees to scout for safe locations across the continent where they can hide and await reinforcements.

Xiao Nian, accompany Xiao Mei and ensure his safety; I trust you can handle that alone.” “You can rely on us, Master,” Xiao Mei and Xiao Nian replied confidently, thumping their chests.

“Xie Xie, you’ll be in charge of leading the fifty Red Snakes or White Thunder Wolves to attack the demon soldiers guarding the warehouse.

Once they engage, the hidden demon will have to make an appearance, and you two will lead it away from the warehouse.” “If regular people can’t see the invisible demon, perhaps you could use your golden baby scorpions to track its movements.

A single pair of eyes may not suffice, but thousands of them certainly will.

If that isn’t enough, enlist the help of the Spirit Bees as well.” “Noted, Master!” Xie Xie nodded.

Everyone was astounded; their Master was incredibly insightful!

“Meanwhile, Yunyun and Xiao Long will seize the opportunity during the chaos to collect any treasures in the warehouse.” “You can count on us, Master!” Xiao Yun and Lu Long beamed.

Xiao Yun, acting like the boss he was, would handle the minor tasks to avoid calamities, while Lu Long, the Dragon Cauldron, might lack offensive abilities, but his speed in collecting treasures was unmatched!

“Brother, A’Yang, A’Zhi, Xie Xie, and Huang (Feng Huang), I’ll entrust the situation with the Upper Rank Demons to you.” Everyone listened intently, the weight of her words sinking in.

“The contingent of two hundred Thunder White Wolves will join forces with you all,” “Zuan and A’Xue will accompany me,”  Hong Zuan coiled his glimmering ruby-like body around her neck, and she felt a surge of warmth at his gesture.  Bing Xue was momentarily taken aback.

Did she really allow him to accompany her?

“But there’s something crucial I must attend to first,” she added, her tone serious.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot Thank you, my darlings, my treasured angels, for your unwavering support.

I am immensely grateful for all that you do.

These past few months have been quite challenging for me, filled with work and personal struggles.

I sincerely hope to make up for your patience and the time you’ve dedicated to my novels.
