Chapter 408: Beat them at their own game
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The situation wasn’t really like this?
“Young Valley Master, are you saying that the information we got was erroneous?” Yun Jin Wei said.
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue said, “Those bees I sent out yesterday night, sent news that the Zhan Clan and Sage Pavilion plan to move against you in five days. It’s ten days earlier than the news you received.”
“Move against us in five days? Haven’t they yet to gather their men?” Guo Si Ming asked.
“No, they have already started gathering those people half a month before.” Sima You Yue said, “They knew that you have spies hidden among them, so they wanted to beat you at your own game. They intentionally allowed those people to obtain that information and let them send word to you. They intentionally misled them to let you guys gather your men slowly. After that, they would act first and kill you while unprepared.”
“Really?!” The two clan leaders were shocked. This was because they were truly in danger if what Sima You Yue said was true.
They had many divine ranked who were only able to return in twelve days, plus or minus one day. If the Zhan Clan brought the day of attack forwards, they definitely would not have enough divine ranks to fight them. One had to know that a single divine rank could turn the whole situation around. This was especially so since the other party had so many divine ranks!
“Then let us quickly activate them, get those men to return quickly.” Yun Jin Wei said.
“They won’t be in time.” Guo Si Ming said, “Our clansmen have been sent quite far away. Those who are nearby have already returned. For those who are far away, they’ll need quite a few days before they return…”
“They truly beat us at our own game. Who thought that our men would actually be found out.” Yun Jin Wei said, “What do we do now?”
“What else can we do? They have many more divine ranked that us. We’re just courting death if we meet them head on before all our forces have returned.” Guo Si Ming was very clear about how strong the Zhan Clan and Sage Pavilion were. It was fine if all their men could come back, but they never thought that the other party would throw a smoke bomb, almost causing them to have just sat there waiting to die.
He mulled it over, then said, “The way I see it, we can only withdraw temporarily. We’ll figure it out after avoiding their attack this time.”
“However, once we escape, it’ll be difficult for us to come back.” Yun Jin Wei said.
“It’s better than getting annihilated.” Guo Si Ming could see things clearly, “There is hope and a future as long as we are alive. If we die here, all hope is gone.”
“Could there be no other way?” Yun Jin Wei said bitterly.
They had laid out all their plans, but they never thought that, with a single change in timing of their enemy, their entire plans would come to nothing.
If it were not for Sima You Yue, they would definitely be caught unprepared.
“Sigh.” Guo Si Ming could not help but sigh.
Sima You Yue saw that the two of them were just conversing amongst themselves and lowering their morale more and more, so she coughed twice, saying, “How could you guys forget me? I have people too.”
Guo Si Ming shook his head, saying, “Young Valley Master, the situation isn’t the same now. Initially, including your newly advanced Divine ranks, we were just able to match their strength evenly. However, our divine ranks have temporarily returned to their clans and other places, but they make up thirty percent of our strength. As such we have about ten less saint ranked than the opponents.”
“Exactly.” Yun Jin Wei lamented, “Although Young Valley master has two sacred beasts, we’re too lacking when compared to the other side. There’s no way we can defeat them.”
“Who said that I only have two sacred beasts?” Sima You Yue said slowly.
“It’s useless even if you had two more.” Yun Jin Wei said.
It was already rare enough for a youth to have contracted a sacred beasts, and even more so for him to have two. For a person like Sima You Yue whose identity was far from average, him possessing three of them was the best case scenario they could imagine.
As a result, when Sima You Yue said this, he subconsciously thought that she had three sacred beasts.
“It’s true that I have only contracted two sacred beasts.” Sima You Yue said, “However, I still have other spirit beasts. Although they have not formed a contract with me, they have promised to obey me.”
“Are you talking about the Sabre toothed tiger and Snow Wolf clans?” Yun Jin Wei asked.
Guo Si Ming wanted to ask this as well.
They two of them recalled how their daughters had told them about a group of divine beasts accompanying Sima You Yue.
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue nodded.
“I heard Pei Pei mention that many of them were at the peak of Spirit Paragon. However, they merely left the little realm for a short while, it won’t be easy for them to advanced to sacred beasts.” Guo Si Ming said.
“Have you guys forgotten about what I have?” Sima You Yue said.
“Are you talking about… the Divinity Pill?” Yun Jin Wei’s eyes shone. Saying, “However, isn’t the Divinity Pill for humans?”
“It’s useful for spirit beasts too.” Sima You Yue replied.
Yun Jin Wei and Guo Si Ming’s eyes shone. If this was the case, how many sacred beasts did he possibly have?!
“Young Valley Master, how many sacred beasts do the Snow Wolf clan and the Sabre Toothed Tigers have.” Yun Jin Wei asked.
“Thirty eight. Including my two sacred beasts, I have forty sacred beasts.” Sima You Yue said, “With this amount of power, do we still need to run?”
“Ss-”
Yun Jin Wei and Guo Si Ming sucked in a breath. Just him alone had forty sacred beasts? This was much more than their two clans had after taking the Divinity Pill!
“Haha, no need, no need!” Guo Si Ming guffawed.
This stroke of fortune came too quickly, and it was like he was on a roller coaster ride. Just now, they were in the deepest part of the valley, but they had quickly flown to the peak of the mountain.
Although Yun Jin Wei and Guo Si Ming were happy, they were stunned at the strength of Sima You Yue’s spirit beasts. This was enough to exterminate an entire clan.
“Since this is the case, let’s discuss how to settle this problem.” Sima You Yue said, “Since the other party wants to beat us at our own game, we should give them a taste of their own medicine.”
“Alright.” Yun Jin Wei agreed, “They know that we have no way to gather our people in such a short time, so they have amassed their entire group of divine ranks to attack us. RIght now, our two clans including Young Valley Master’s sacred beasts are enough to make them stay here!”
“Not bad!” Guo Si Ming agreed, “We should wait for them to come here, then exterminate them. Ha ha ha…”
The situation had changed too quickly. They thought about how their opponents would look like once they came here and noticed how powerful they were, and their hearts were filled with joy.
This time, they must definitely kill the Zhan Clan and Sage Pavilion’s entire army here!
“That’s not all.” Sima You Yue said, “According to the information I obtained, they will be bringing a huge group of people over. They initially wanted to annihilate both your clans. However, this gives us the perfect opportunity.”
“Young Valley Master is thinking of…”
Sima You Yue smirked, “Aren’t they bringing everyone here while your people are unable to rush back in time? It just happens that their rear is unguarded. Let them come, and we’ll wipe them out in one stroke!”
