Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1730: Sheep in the Tiger’s Den

Xin Lifeng put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Xiaobu, just looked for three seconds, then slowly said, ”I assumed the position of Chief in the God Slaying Alliance, which many people know, but what they don’t know is what I’m responsible for.”

He paused here: ”I am responsible for war!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu’s pupils abruptly contracted.

War?

Minor skirmishes can’t be called a war!

However, the God Slaying Alliance holds an aloof status, managing crucial matters like the core, akin to the existence of a Holy Land. How could it be involved in war?

With this thought, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed slightly: ”Do you intend to unify?”

Upon these words, it was Xin Lifeng’s turn to be astonished: ”You guessed it just like that?”

His original intention was to speak slowly, not to frighten Lu Xiaobu.

Yet, he just mentioned war, and the other had already guessed to this point, which made a shadow flash through his heart unwittingly.

He originally thought this person was smart, but now it seems he underestimated the other party.

However, since the words had been spoken, he no longer evaded.

”That’s right, the God Slaying Alliance indeed has this idea, unification!” Xin Lifeng emphasized the word ’unification’.

”Currently, the power factions on the islands are too chaotic, city states, sects, plus those miscellaneous small forces, plotting against each other, utterly chaotic!”

”And our God Slaying Alliance does not wish to see this scene continue!”

”You’ve been preparing for many years, haven’t you?” Lu Xiaobu spoke out: ”Holding an aloof posture to manage the core, seemingly selfless dedication, but secretly using the core to continuously consolidate high-end combat power!”

”No, not only high-end combat power, but those intermediate combat forces who have been to the core might also have been recruited by you significantly!”

”Then send these people back to lurk in various cities and sects, once the time is ripe, smoke signals will rise!”

”All forces keep an eye on each other but will uniquely not focus on you, thinking that because you manage the core, you can’t act casually, and if you do, you’ll be attacked by everyone!”

”However, they never expected you would spend countless years to slowly nibble away bit by bit using such means!”

”A clever strategy! A clever strategy!”

With a little thought, Lu Xiaobu laid out the plans of the God Slaying Alliance completely.

This time, Xin Lifeng was not just astonished; he was shocked!

He looked at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief, just staring blankly.

This plan has been laid out for countless years, executed steadily over the years, never leaking!

Yet today, right before his eyes, this outrageously young person revealed it effortlessly?!

This... this... this...

He stared for a long time, then poured another glass of wine and drank it by himself.

Seemingly using the wine to suppress his emotions!

”Well, what do you think is the reason I contacted you?” Xin Lifeng asked dryly.

”Contacting me...” Lu Xiaobu pondered: ”Initially, you probably thought I was interesting, smart, and wanted to recruit me to work for you!”

”Later, upon discovering my identity, you had another idea.”

”The island beneath our feet is like a gourd, and the four cities I control split the entire gourd at its waist.”

”Your plans, if I obstruct them forcefully, will certainly attract some attention, ultimately ruining everything!”

”On the contrary, if I cooperate, it could be twice as effective with half the effort!”

”That’s why you invited me for a drink, whether to cooperate or recruit, essentially for that!”

Once again, Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, Xin Lifeng again downed his drink in one go!

Those of cultivation are more adept at force, less so at strategy, and for so many years, although not verbally expressed, Xin Lifeng has always looked down on those brainless ones internally and often feels proud of his own strategies!

Though he doesn’t deem his intellect unparalleled in the world, he feels others merely stand shoulder to shoulder at most!

Never thought someone could surpass him in this regard!

Yet, he realized he was wrong!

Terribly wrong!

How could someone like this exist in the world!

He, who considered himself formidable, seemed like a child before the other!

Silent for a long while.

Xin Lifeng then whispered: ”You’ve said so much, aren’t you afraid I’ll harbor thoughts of murder?!”

”Such a terrifying intellect, I wouldn’t want to become enemies!”

Lu Xiaobu heard this and shook his head with a smile: ”No, you won’t. I’m now one of the six who emerged from the Qin Feng Secret Realm, receiving significant attention!”

”You pursued the plan even to the extent of ignoring potential awakened blood consciousness issues inside the Qin Feng Secret Realm, how could you possibly break it for me, a mere troublemaker?”

Lu Xiaobu absolutely believes the God Slaying Alliance couldn’t be ignorant of the affairs on the Blood Continent!

However, they still haven’t acted.

Clearly, such cleansing tasks for the people are far less important than striving for dominance!

”But I feel your existence is more horrifying than the matter of the Qin Feng Secret Realm!” Xin Lifeng raised his head to look at Lu Xiaobu, his eyes indeed showing murderous intent!

Terrifying! Such a person is too terrifying!

Such an individual must be either utilized for our benefit or destroyed!

Can’t let him leave this room!

”No rush, my power, your power; wanting to kill me wouldn’t be a mere wave of your hand!” Lu Xiaobu smiled, not commenting on Xin Lifeng’s murderous intent.

Xin Lifeng remained unmoved!

However.

”There’s one more thing; many matters you feel are useless.” Lu Xiaobu picked up the wine glass, calmly saying a sentence.

This statement was remarkably calm, yet at this moment, it was like a hammer shattering the murderous intent in Xin Lifeng’s eyes!

Indeed! What use does he have?

He isn’t the Alliance Hierarch, not the ultimate decision-maker!

Could he really tell the Alliance Hierarch he felt terrified, hence he killed the highly watched Lu Xiaobu, drawing attention and causing the plan to fail?

Unlikely!

It’s clear, if indeed done, how furious the Alliance Hierarch would be and what his fate would be!

Indeed, what he feels, is useless!

”What do you want?”

After another silence, with a bottle of wine already finished, Xin Lifeng finally opened his mouth slowly!

At this moment, he truly felt like a lamb in a tiger’s den!

Clearly, initially, it was his intention to recruit or utilize Lu Xiaobu, hence the invitation for drinks!

However, from the moment he merely started speaking, the situation invisibly reversed!

Until now, a lamb in a tiger’s den, offering benefits voluntarily!
