Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307: Infiltration from Within

This place is the headquarters of Corpse King Palace, although Ye Luo knew that Long Xiaotian and others must be leading their troops into battle in Shu Region.

But Ye Luo has no way to contact them. It’s not that Ye Luo’s phone isn’t with him, but because it’s simply impossible for Ye Luo to make a call.

After all, a sudden appearance of an unfamiliar number within the headquarters of Corpse King Palace would assuredly provoke an investigation, and by that time, not only would Ye Luo be in trouble, but Bai Jie might also be implicated.

It seems that this time at the headquarters of Corpse King Palace, Ye Luo can only act alone.

Perhaps, there is still a chance to provide support to the main battlefront.

Actually, at this moment, Long Xiaotian and the others are not in a good situation either.

Having received Ye Luo’s orders, Long Xiaotian naturally understood Ye Luo’s intentions, which is why he had led everyone to besiege Shu Region, concentrating the battle in one place; the losses would definitely be much less than allowing the conflict to consume the whole Huaxia.

However, the strength in Long Xiaotian’s hands is significantly weaker compared to Corpse King Palace. First, let’s talk about manpower; Long Xiaotian does not have many strong fighters under his command. Besides the elders of Dragon Pavilion and Ye Alliance, the elite elders from other forces have suffered tremendous losses. Even the team of War God only has less than half of its members - and this is already due to their timely withdrawal!

The dead, the seriously injured who can’t join the battle, these people can only stay back.

While the shortage of powerful fighters might be compensated with elixirs like Spirit Gathering Pills brought back from Martial Realm by Ye Luo, a severe overall shortfall in numbers is an insurmountable issue!

Even though during this time Long Xiaotian and others gathered the remaining disciples of Hidden Sect and secular forces from all directions, the previous losses had been too massive.

Moreover, Corpse King Palace has the method of refining zombies, which directly maximized the disparity in numbers!

Long Xiaotian could only mobilize fewer than thirty thousand people!

And this included counting the lowest level disciples!

Whereas Corpse King Palace had over fifty thousand regular disciples alone, not to mention their zombie army which was as vast as the tide!

This battle was not going to be easy, but they had no choice but to fight!

Perhaps the only advantage that Long Xiaotian held lay in those elixirs from Martial Realm, such as Mind-splitting Pills and the like.

Because of these elixirs’ existence, Dragon Pavilion and Ye Alliance were able to hold a standoff against Corpse King Palace!

At the beginning, just as Ye Luo had anticipated, Long Xiaotian aggressively invaded Shu Region, and Corpse King Palace thought that Long Xiaotian and the others had learned the exact location of their headquarters, prompting an immediate recall of all forces from the outside world, fully compressing them within Shu Region.

After all, the envoys are the cornerstone of Corpse King Palace’s rise. If the headquarters were destroyed and connection with the envoys lost, then the power of Corpse King Palace would inevitably plummet!

Both sides experienced battles nearly every day in Shu Region, small skirmishes involving just a few or a dozen soldiers, and large engagements involving thousands.

Unfortunately, neither side could gain the upper hand over the other, and thus, the battle remained in a deadlock. During the days when Ye Luo was imprisoned by Bai Jie, the battlefronts between the two sides gradually stabilized.

For Long Xiaotian, they wished to wait for Ye Luo to take command of the overall situation, while for Corpse King Palace, they needed time to gather disciples and solidify their defenses.

It was as if there was an unspoken understanding between both sides, with neither launching a full-scale war!

Unaware of the situation outside, Ye Luo still proceeded according to his plan at this moment.

According to Ye Luo’s conception, if executing a decapitation strategy, then the envoy and the Hall Master of Corpse King Palace would certainly need to be eliminated.

However, Ye Luo is not reckless, since he couldn’t confront the third Hall Master back then, let alone the Hall Master of Corpse King Palace!

Therefore, the beheading plan is, at least for now, utterly unfeasible!

So, what method should be used to effectively strike at the Corpse King Palace?

Right, the laboratories and research institutes!

It’s well known that the Corpse King Palace owns many laboratories and research institutes, and all sorts of toxins as well as Puppet Zombies, seeds, and so forth, all originate from these places!

It could be said that a great portion of the Corpse King Palace’s strength comes from these two places! It’s even more important than their own cultivation.

If Ye Luo could successfully eliminate these laboratories and research institutes of the Corpse King Palace, then there’s no doubt it would be a tremendous blow to them!

Having realized this, Ye Luo carefully continued forward.

Ye Luo didn’t go back to ask Bai Jie for a map; after all, Ye Luo believed he could find it!

...

”Hey, I really don’t know what the Hall Master is thinking. If we’re to fight, then fight. We’re just standing off against those guys at the front line. If we started the war directly, we could have finished earlier and taken a good rest!”

”Are you seeking death? Daring to question the Hall Master’s decision, keep your voice down, make sure no one else hears this!”

Another Corpse King Palace Disciple cautiously glanced around before whispering to his companion.

However, that person didn’t seem to care: ”What’s there to fear? Who would come to our place? The Hall Master has already gathered most of our brothers to join the fight. Moreover, we’re now in the headquarters. If enemies were to invade our headquarters, wouldn’t that be the end of us? Rest assured, those guys from Dragon Pavilion are racking their brains out, but they could never imagine that our Corpse King Palace’s headquarters is built under a lake!”

That Corpse King Palace Disciple said proudly, unaware that Ye Luo had easily overheard his words.

Ye Luo, hiding in the shadows, was indeed shocked. Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that the Corpse King Palace’s headquarters would be constructed under a lake?

It wasn’t just a question of the magnitude of the engineering work; the key issue was that building under a lake didn’t seem to provide any guarantee of safety at all!

If it was discovered, then just smashing the ceiling of the Corpse King Palace headquarters would be enough to drown everyone inside, wouldn’t it?

Of course, Ye Luo quickly realized that there definitely were many small bases surrounding the headquarters. Normally, if powerful enemies approached, they would have already been stopped outside. If they really managed to break through to this point, it’s likely there would be no one left inside the headquarters!

Such a situation would not normally lead to someone infiltrating with ease like Ye Luo did now!

Ye Luo memorized this information. Perhaps, it might come in handy later!

Of course, Ye Luo wouldn’t act on this now, as after all, if he did, he would also be in trouble!

Better to first investigate where the laboratories or research institutes are located!

But just as Ye Luo was about to leave, another voice rang out.

”Hey, you two, come here!”

Ye Luo turned to look and saw a grey-robed Elder of the Corpse King Palace approaching, issuing commands to the two Disciples who had spoken earlier.

”Elder!”

”You two, quickly head to Laboratory No. 3. The Hall Master has ordered that, to prevent any emergencies, all seeds should be consolidated in Laboratory No. 1. Go over there and help out tonight. There’s nothing in the warehouse worth guarding, so it doesn’t matter if it’s left unattended!”
