Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Moon Mountain Pass, Liang Kingdom army camp.

Just as Lu Yuan had predicted, there were quite a number of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators gathered in the camp of the Liang Kingdom.

This time, the Commander of the Liang Kingdom’s army was a cultivator of the Xueyang Sect at cultivation level seven of the Foundation Establishment Stage… Zhuang Yangbing.

In addition, this person was also one of the direct disciples of the Xueyang Sect. He was ranked 15th on the Mortal Rank and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

“Senior Brother Zhuang, why do you think the people of the Qingyun Sect are so stupid? Don’t tell me they still think that the current situation is the same as 300 years ago, that it’s just a simple confrontation between the righteous and the devilish?”

Zhuang Yangbing was hugging a beautiful maid as he sipped from the wine glass in his hand.

However, what was stored in this wine cup was not fragrant wine.

Instead, it was fresh blood that emitted a strong smell.

After drinking a mouthful of blood, Zhuang Yangbing smiled and replied, “Actually, it’s not that the Qingyun Sect is stupid. They just didn’t expect us to use the Mortal Empire as a breakthrough point.”

“Looking at the previous battles between the righteous and the devilish, we rarely attacked mortal empires.”

“After all, if a large number of ordinary people are involved in the battle, it will definitely have a certain impact on our future gains when we take over the righteous sects’ territories.”

“However, that was then and this is now. After realizing that it would be very difficult to break through the five righteous sects, the elders in the sect gradually changed their minds.”

“After all, only when we have it would it will be real. Why should we protect what we don’t have yet?”

“You have to know that we devilish way cultivators are different from those righteous way cultivators. Death and slaughter will only make us grow faster.”

“No matter how weak ordinary people are, they can still become the materials for us to refine blood slaves and strengthen our powers.”

“Thus, plundering the mortals of the Great Xia Kingdom and nurturing the war with war has become the core of our plan this time.”

“Furthermore, the inner sect elders have given me the full authority to carry out this plan freely.”

“To successfully carry out my plan, I pretended to besiege Moon Mountain Pass.”

“The goal is to make them think that my target is the grains transport route.”

“Because only in this way will the Qingyun Sect dispatch the cultivators in the town to defend the grain route.”

“However, they would never have thought that I only had one target from the start. And that was the densely populated towns within the Great Xia Kingdom.”

“I think this deceit act trick is flawless.”

“After all, although the Qingyun Sect self-proclaimed themselves to be righteous people, their attitude towards mortals is the same as us, the devilish people. They treat them as cattle and sheep that are raised in captivity. Why would they care about the lives of these mortals?”

“In this way, they will definitely be caught off guard by the sneak attack this time. When the time comes, the situation here might even affect the Full Moon Mountain Range, causing the Qingyun Sect cultivators to have no choice but to focus a portion of their energy in the Great Xia Kingdom.”

“Who knows, this small change might even become the straw that will crush the Qingyun Sect in the end.”

Hearing Zhuang Yangbing’s words, the ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the camp burst into laughter.

Ten Foundation Establishment Stage devilish way cultivators, especially those who were prepared to go all out, quietly entered the Great Xia Kingdom.

Without a doubt, it would cause great trouble for the Great Xia Kingdom.

The reason Zhuang Yangbing did not send these ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to the main battlefield to break through the Moon Mountain Pass was that a place like Moon Mountain Pass usually had a defensive array.

Once the Moon Mountain Pass was about to be broken, the defensive array would be instantly activated.

The defensive power of this array was so strong that even Core Formation Stage cultivators would not be able to break through it easily.

Thus, to bypass the Moon Mountain Pass, cut off the supplies within the Moon Mountain Pass, and plunder the population of the Great Xia Kingdom in large numbers was their goal this time.

Zhuang Yangbing felt his plan was not only perfect, but it was also very feasible.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yangbing raised his glass high.

“All Senior Brothers, I wish you all a safe journey!”

“But before we act, I still have something to say.”

“I have a cautious personality and like to make backup plans for everything. Therefore, before you leave, I still have a few things to tell you.”

Then, Zhuang Yangbing told them everything he had planned as a backup.

After hearing this, all the cultivators present were shocked.

One of the cultivators could not help but say, “Senior Brother Zhuang, do we have to be so careful here?”

“I feel that our plan is already perfect. The Qingyun Sect definitely won’t find out. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?”

Zhuang Yangbing shook his head.

He looked at the cultivator in front of him and asked, “Junior Brother Li, do you know why I became a Successor Disciple of the sect and ranked fifteenth on the Mortal Rank?”

The cultivator Li thought for a moment and said, “It should be because Senior Brother has an incomparably vicious heart, a said extinct trickery and…. an outstanding cultivation talent?”

Zhuang Yangbing shook his head again.

‘junior Brother Li, what you said is just one of my many strengths.”

“My greatest strength is actually my stable personality.”

“Because I always plan for the worst and respond to it.”

“Doing things like this is the real reason why I was able to advance all the way and reach the fifteenth place on the Mortal Rank.”

“Alright, just remember what I just said.”

“It’s best if there are no accidents. Even if there are accidents, I don’t think the other party will guess that I would still have such a backup arrangement.”

“Don’t worry. As long as you do as I say, nothing will happen.”

“Even if the plan fails in the end, you can all still retreat in one piece.”

“I believe that in this world, no one is more stable than me.”

Seeing that Zhuang Yangbing had said so much, the cultivators did not say anything else.

With such a complete plan and so many arrangements, they felt that their plan this time would definitely be perfectly realized!

Thinking of this, the camp sounded cheerful again, and the drunkenness scene returned.

Moon Mountain Pass, inside the main camp of the guards.

“Director Sir, are we really going to do this?”

After hearing Lu Yuan’s arrangements, Zheng Lun, Lion-Ape and the others still felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

If one had to describe Lu Yuan’s arrangement this time, that would be Lu Yuan had considered the worst situation and an even worse situation than it. Then, made many arrangements based on the scenarios.

The so-called worst-case scenario was something that would only happen with a small probability.

A situation that was worse than the worst was undoubtedly the smallest of the smallest possibility.

He had made specific plans in advance for such situation that was almost impossible to happen.

In the eyes of Zheng Lun and the others, this was simply inconceivable.

They had never expected that there would be someone in this world who could be so stable!

Facing their doubts, Lu Yuan calmly replied, “Everyone, it’s fine if some of these things don’t happen. But once they happen, if we don’t prepare countermeasures in advance, we will only miss the last chance to turn the tables.”

“I, Lu Yuan, have an average cultivation and aptitude. There are countless disciples within the sect who are stronger than me. But do you know why I ended up becoming the new director of the Devil Slayers Division?”

“Why?”

“Because I have an advantage that other disciples don’t have… That is stability.”

“Others will only consider the worst-case scenario, but I, Lu Yuan, will always consider a scenario worse than the worst-case scenario.”

“Only by considering all these problems can our plans truly be foolproof.”

Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Zheng Lun and the rest did not know what to say.

Indeed, ordinary people could not be as stable as Lu Yuan, so stable that it makes people a little afraid…

If there was a grade for stability, they felt that Lu Yuan was definitely among the top.

There was absolutely no one in this world who was more stable than this person in front of them!
