Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 208: The Arrival of Fifth Brother the Intelligence Network the Beginning of the Strategy


"I want more information on the Luoyang Immortal Realm, the Cyan Entropy Immortal Realm, and the Cold Heaven Immortal Realm."

"For example, the history of their Immortal Realms, ancient texts, situations, all relevant information, the more the better."

"Because I need to perfect the content of these three letters... but I'm missing some important clues and intelligence."

Li Dong'Er said slowly to the eldest brother.

Although she possesses the powerful ability to see through everything, she is too weak to personally scout those Three Great Immortal Realms, so she needs the help of the eldest and the third brother.

Upon hearing this, the eldest fell silent, feeling somewhat troubled.

"Dong'Er, as you know, our intelligence system is somewhat lacking."

Though the eldest and third brothers have numerous subordinates, whether in military strength, formations, attacks, defenses, or reserves, they are all top-notch.

But... intelligence is a shortcoming.

Moreover, this involves gathering information on three other Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, which is extremely difficult.

...

"Brother Zhong, if I'm not mistaken... don't you have a brother skilled in gathering intelligence?"

Li Dong'Er knows the army best, and she's aware that their current intelligence system can't achieve this.

So, she specifically sought help from the eldest and third brothers.

....

Upon hearing this, the third brother suddenly remembered something, his eyes lighting up: "Brother! Have you forgotten our fifth brother!"

At these words, the eldest's eyes widened, and he slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot about the fifth brother."

.....

Initially, the fifth brother was close to the second brother, and they had the best relationship.

The fifth brother, under the second's mentorship, began to gradually establish his own intelligence network.

Later, the second brother suddenly disappeared, and no one could find him or knew what he was doing...

The fifth brother also was in a semi-disappeared state, occasionally sending some critical intelligence.

....

Having not seen the fifth brother for a long, long time, the eldest nearly forgot that the fifth brother was in the intelligence business.

But... how did Dong'Er know?

He never mentioned any information about the fifth brother to her.

...

"Dong'Er, how did you know I had a fifth brother?"

The eldest couldn't help but voice his curiosity directly.

...

Upon hearing this, Dong'Er smiled gently: "I observed it."

"If my observations are correct, you have six or seven brothers."

"But rest assured, Brother Zhong, I only know that much. I don't know the rest, nor will I attempt to."

Being from the Wisdom Divine Race, Dong'Er can see through everything, including people.

She can discern a person's network from their expressions, details in their daily activities, emotional changes, and all observable details.

Back then, Brother Zhong was observed by Li Qingshan for three days, and many things were discovered, not to mention Li Dong'Er, who is even more powerful.

...

However, Li Dong'Er is smarter than Li Qingshan and knows better how to handle interpersonal relationships.

Though she can see through everything, she deliberately refrains from delving into Brother Zhong's significant secrets.

Because if she wanted to, during their long time together, she could easily discern how many brothers Brother Zhong has, who they are, and what their roles are.

Nevertheless, Li Dong'Er chose to ask Brother Zhong directly because she felt that randomly uncovering someone's secrets is impolite and could be seen as an overstep.

...

"I indeed have six siblings."

"Someday, I'll introduce you to them."

The eldest replied slowly.

He is also intelligent and understands Li Dong'Er's implication.

In truth, he trusts Li Dong'Er greatly, and he has always had a keen eye for people, which is why he entrusted command to Li Dong'Er; this is absolute trust.

All these years, despite holding significant power, she has never shown any sign of ambition or unusual thoughts.

From beginning to end, she has quietly read books and done things quietly, never erring or doing anything overstepping or inappropriate.

.....

Li Dong'Er herself never had any other thoughts.

Her world is simple. Her grandfather entrusted her, and so she would trust unconditionally, follow, and do whatever she was capable of doing.

.....

Several days later, an "unexpected visitor" arrived at the Great Woe Immortal Realm.

This visitor directly broke into the Immortal Island and was intercepted by the array.

Outside the Immortal Island stood a tall man clad in a purple-red robe, standing outside the array.

After a while, the eldest and third brothers arrived at the scene, and upon seeing the man in the red robe, they broke into smiles.

"Brother, Third Brother, long time no see."

The man in the red robe, upon seeing the eldest and third brother, also smiled, clasped his fists, and said.

This man is the fifth brother, the eldest and third brother's younger brother, known to Su Mu as Little Red Crab.

...

He appears much younger than the eldest and third brother, with bronze skin, deep-set eyes, and a shallow scar at the corner of his eye.

Seeing that it was the fifth brother who broke through the array, the eldest waved his hand to deactivate the Immortal Island's array.

But only the fifth brother dared to do so; who else would dare to stride in here so casually?

This is the core, the most important place in the entire Great Woe Immortal Realm, the residence of Dong'Er, the highest commander here, protected as the top secret and safest place.

...

"You've lost quite a bit of weight, kid,"

The third tapped heavily on the fifth brother's shoulder.

They are family, and brothers, although many years have passed, their bond remains strong.

....

"Didn't your second brother come with you?" The eldest, seeing that Xiao Wu came alone, asked.

....

"Second Brother is still busy."

Xiao Wu explained.

"Ha!"

"He keeps saying he's busy, busy, busy, who knows what he's busy doing all day. Here we're running around like headless chickens, while he's having a good time everywhere."

The mention of the second brother made the eldest start ranting again, puffing his cheeks and glaring.

....

Seeing this, the third brother quickly stepped in to change the subject: "Dong'Er is still waiting for us."

At these words, the eldest finally shifted his focus, saying to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, I'd like to introduce you to someone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu asked with a look of surprise: "Could it be... the legendary 'God of War'?"

Xiao Wu, being in intelligence, had access to the most up-to-date information.

"You know Dong'Er too?"

The third brother asked in surprise.

.....

"Of course, who doesn't recognize the 'God of War' of the Great Woe Immortal Realm now?"

"Masterful in warfare, each battle is a perfect layout."

"Those from the Desolate Ancient Immortal Realm that Brother and Third Brother are fighting against hold deep grudges against this 'God of War' and fear her immensely."

"I've always wanted to meet the commander of Brother and Third Brother's troops."

Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Then let's go," said the third brother with a smile.

After all, he was the one who brought Dong'Er here, and seeing everyone like and appreciate her so much filled the third brother with genuine happiness and pride.
