Chapter 943: Scheming Against Each Other

Just three breaths!

The fake Ye Xiu was trapped inside a 10-meter cube formed by gathered rainwater.

Then, a bolt of thunder descended from the sky, striking the cube, and within it, lightning flickered amidst the condensed rainwater.

“Ah… bubble bubble…”

Water is conductive, and the fake Ye Xiu let out a heart-rending scream, but because he was in the water, bubbles emerged as he screamed.

“Ye Xiu is nothing special, Huang Quan is nothing special, the Dragon God Totem Inheritor is nothing special,” the Formation Master said arrogantly.

Ye Xiu, who was watching from afar, sighed quietly; after all, a fake is just a fake. If it were him, such a small trick wouldn’t trap him and he might even counter-kill.

“The Shocking God and Demon Formation is too powerful; even someone as strong as Ye Xiu is rendered powerless,” the Clan Leader of the Golden Family said in astonishment.

Sophia and the Clan Leaders of the other two major families were equally shocked.

At the same time, the four of them became more wary of the Shocking God and Demon Formation and desired to possess it more.

Everyone wanted to master this powerful force!

“Hmph, the Shocking God and Demon Formation grows stronger when faced with strong opponents; even a Ninth Realm Peak War God is easily defeated by it,” the Formation Master said arrogantly.

“No…”

At this time, the fake Ye Xiu let out his final voice of despair and unwillingness, and then there was no more sound.

The Formation Master sensed that the fake Ye Xiu was dead and only then removed the water cube trapping him and said to the Clan Leaders of the three Judicator Families:

“Immediately take Ye Xiu’s body to the laboratory, extract the Dragon God Totem, and notify me once the extraction is complete.”

The Clan Leaders of the three Judicator Families nodded, Sophia carried the fake Ye Xiu’s body, and the four quickly left Cemetery No. 111.

“Ye Xiu is dead, no one in this world can break the Shocking God and Demon Formation anymore, I remain invincible, hahahahaha…”

The Formation Master faced Tomb Mountain and laughed maniacally.

After laughing for a while, finding it rather boring, he too left Cemetery No. 111!

Over an hour later!

Ye Xiu emerged from the underground, looked at Tomb Mountain in front of him, and said with a smile:

“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; now is the time when the Formation Master and the three Judicator Families are most relaxed, no one would expect someone to break the formation now.”

Ye Xiu pulled out four flying daggers, tossed them into the sky, and then the four daggers landed at the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast positions of Tomb Mountain.

“Buzz…”

The isolation formation was completed!

To expedite breaking the formation, Ye Xiu drew on his previous experience of cracking the Royal City Shocking God and Demon Formation, ensuring he was well-prepared.

He directly made the flying daggers into the formation base, completing the formation in no time.

Earth System Totem, activate!

Ye Xiu, as if with a wall-passing skill, walked directly into the mountain’s interior, easily finding a mountain cave.

In the center of the mountain cave, lay the formation base of the Shocking God and Demon Formation!

But it’s the same as the Royal City’s formation base!

Multiple formations were set up around the formation base!

“It’s exactly the same as the formation protecting the Royal City’s base!”

Ye Xiu looked and laughed:

“The first time last time, without experience, took a bit longer, but this time to break the multiple formations and destroy the base shouldn’t take 8 hours. Hopefully, the fake gives me 8 hours of time.”

…

Sophia and the Clan Leaders of the three Judicator Families took the fake Ye Xiu’s body and drove to the laboratory.

For 2 hours on the road, the four had zero conversation.

Now that ‘Ye Xiu’ is dead, and the Dragon God Totem is about to be extracted, the minds of the three Clan Leaders were full of thoughts on how to claim the Dragon God Totem, leaving no time for chat.

At the laboratory!

The three Clan Leaders immediately gathered relevant experts, prepared equipment, and completed the preparations for extracting the Dragon God Totem.

It was only then that the Clan Leader of the Zhan Family took the initiative to speak:

“Now that Ye Xiu is dead, Red Water City is leaderless, this is our prime time to flatten Red Water City.”

“Makes sense!” The Clan Leader of the Golden Family agreed: “There are many experts under Ye Xiu, yet our Golden Family is currently engaged in a war with the Demon Clan, and it’s not suitable to open a second front; I suggest the Zhan Family send elites to attack Red Water City!”

The Clan Leader of the Jiang Family nodded: “That makes sense, as the governing family of Underground City now and with the chaos in the Eternal Islands being instigated by Ye Xiu, it’s most appropriate for the Zhan Family to crush Red Water City, and it can incidentally raise the Zhan Family’s prestige.”

The Clan Leader of the Zhan Family, a seasoned old sparrow, couldn’t miss the hidden implications in the words of the Golden Family and Jiang Family Clan Leaders.

These two old men wanted to attract the Zhan Family’s elite to Red Water City; firstly, using Red Water City to weaken the Zhan Family; secondly, once the Zhan Family’s elite were all sent to attack Red Water City, the Zhan Family would have no strength left to compete with the Golden Family and Jiang Family for the Dragon God Totem.

What a clever plan!

“The perspectives of both are somewhat narrow.”

The Clan Leader of the Zhan Family said:

“The enemies of the Underground City now are not only Red Water City and the Demon Clan but also the Seven Armies and the Transcendent Laboratory led by Lin Lei. I suggest…”

At this point, the Clan Leader of the Zhan Family pretended to ponder for a moment and said:

“Among the multiple enemies, the Demon Clan is the strongest, so let the Golden Family first contain the Demon Clan;”

“Old Jiang, you take charge of the Jiang Family to attack Red Water City;”

“As for Lin Lei and the Transcendent Laboratory, leave them to my Zhan Family.”

Upon hearing this, the Clan Leaders of the Jiang Family and Golden Family were immediately displeased; the Zhan Family’s Clan Leader was trying to send the Golden Family and Jiang Family away, while Lin Lei and the Transcendent Laboratory hadn’t shown up yet, so the Zhan Family wasn’t in a hurry to go to war.

In other words, Underground City would be left to the Zhan Family alone.

Wouldn’t the Dragon God Totem end up being monopolized by the Zhan Family?

“I think it works!” The Golden Family’s Clan Leader feigned agreement and said: “Let’s proceed according to Old Zhan’s plan, but we don’t need to go to the battlefield ourselves; it’s more appropriate to stay and command in the Underground City.”

The Jiang Family’s Clan Leader immediately concurred: “Makes sense, someone must remain in Underground City to facilitate command, the three of us must stay in Underground City.”

The Zhan Family’s Clan Leader was so angry he could feel his liver hurting and said:

“Both of you, the governing power is in my hands, do you need to stay in Underground City for command? I alone am sufficient; should I invite the Formation Master to come and issue orders in his presence?”

Seeing the Zhan Family’s Clan Leader bring up the Formation Master, the Clan Leaders of the Jiang Family and Golden Family were immediately deflated.

The Formation Master was known for being impartial and inflexible, definitely siding with the governing family.

But the Jiang Family’s Clan Leader had a sudden thought and said:

“Fine, then call the Formation Master and when the Dragon God Totem is extracted, let him keep it first, and after the war, decide its ownership.”

The Golden Family’s Clan Leader’s eyes lit up: “I agree!”

Now it was the Zhan Family’s Clan Leader’s turn to be deflated; if the Dragon God Totem was handed over to the Formation Master for safekeeping, what business did the Dragon God Totem have with the three Judicator Families?

“Forget it, let’s discuss the matter of deploying troops to attack Red Water City, the Demon Clan, and the Transcendent Laboratory later!” The Zhan Family’s Clan Leader said with a dark expression.

Seeing him say this, the Clan Leaders of the Jiang Family and Golden Family both laughed.

Now that’s more like it!

With the three Judicator Families staying in Underground City, no one could monopolize the Dragon God Totem, not even the Formation Master.
