Gate of God 932 Unexpected Battle Situation

"Young Lord, you think so too?" Lin Yu saw Yun Qingwu's actions and quickly ran to the table. He poured away the cold water from the teacup and refilled the teacup with the hot water from the kettle.

Yun Qingwu did not bother reaching for the water. She stood up slowly and took a few steps out of the palace.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu followed her.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stopped in front of the door of the palace and looked at the hazy sky.

"It's just a guess." Yun Qingwu's voice was not loud but there was a tinge of sigh.

"In order to confirm my guess, I have to make a trip to the Northern Mountain Village." Although Lin Yu did not know Yun Qingwu for a very long time, he could already somewhat read Yun Qingwu's mind.

Fang Zhengzhi!

It was an ordinary name but it was viewed highly in Yun Qingwu's eyes.

"Northern Mountain Village? It's alright." Yun Qingwu was deep in thought. Then, she shook her head lightly and said, "If we cannot figure out, then we shall wait."

"Understood." Lin Yu nodded.

He understood what Yun Qingwu meant. Although Meng Tian's real identity was unknown, he was relatively insignificant.

Regardless of whether he is real, the bigger picture would not be affected by one person.

Moreover, the Monster Race and Demon Race had invaded a large region of the Holy Region and set up traps all over the region. Therefore, they did not need to overthink.

After all, the Monster Race and Demon Race was already at an advantageous position.

Although waiting was not the best choice, waiting could mean "no changes" in some occasions so as to deal with the ever-changing situation.

"Are there any updates from the Heaven Zen Mountain?" Yun Qingwu asked casually after remaining silent for a while.

"Hmm, two more Godly State experts of the Demon Race had descended. Now we have placed five 'obvious piles' and three 'hidden piles' in the Holy Region. We just need to wait for three months before the first step of Young Lord's plan can be successfully achieved," Lin Yu replied.

"I don't think it would be so successful." Yun Qingwu shook her head.

"Where do you think will go wrong? There should not be a problem with the Ling Xiao Mountain, even if there is, it would only be limited to the 'Ling Yun Tower'. Unless Young Lord thinks that there is something wrong with Meng Tian?"

"The peace before the storm is always the most dangerous." Instead of answering Lin Yu directly, Yun Qingwu mumbled to herself.

Lin Yu frowned again. He somewhat understood what Yun Qingwu meant but was not entirely sure.

Of course, he could clarify.

However, Lin Yu did not like to clarify in such a straightforward manner. He preferred to ponder over it. This was one of the main reasons why Yun Qingwu kept him by her side.

There are no perfect individuals.

This was said by Yun Qingwu. She hoped that Lin Yu could remind herself that because every intelligent individual had to have such a person beside him or her.

Besides that, Lin Yu was more than happy to do so.

Just as Lin Yu was pondering over Yun Qingwu's words, a figure appeared from the haze. He was wearing a black cloak but moved very quickly.

"Is it an urgent report at this timing?" Yun Qingwu asked.

"Urgent report?" Lin Yu could not react for a moment but he moved as he saw the approaching figure.

Without any hesitation, he stood in front of Yun Qingwu and pointed at the forehead of the approaching figure.

"Young Lord, urgent… urgent report!" The figure fell to his knees five foot away from Yun Qingwu, revealing himself as a General of the Demon Race who was dressed in armor.

"At such a late timing? Hurry tell us what urgent report you've got!" Lin Yu dropped his finger after seeing the face of the General.

"Meng… Meng Tian is here!"

"Meng Tian?! Where is he?" Lin Yu was evidently shocked but his expression returned to a calmed one very quickly.

"He appeared at the Heaven Dao Pavilion. This… This information came from the Heaven Dao Pavilion!" The General raised a small envelope above his head as he spoke.

"Young Lord." Lin Yu took over the envelope from the General and turned to pass the envelope to Yun Qingwu.

"Heaven Dao Pavilion?" Yun Qingwu opened the envelope and frowned as she scanned through the words on the letter. However, soon after, her frown disappeared. "From the Southern Region, Heaven Dao Pavilion… is indeed the closest boundary of the Southern Region and Great Xia!"

"But why didn't he head to the 'Ling Xiao Mountain' directly? Unless he wants to kill all the soldiers who are guarding the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"

"Perhaps." Yun Qingwu raised her hand and the letter turned into ashes.

"Looks like… Meng Tian wants to kill us one by one?" Lin Yu smiled in disdain.

"Do you think Meng Tian will do that?" Yun Qingwu asked.

"I actually hope that it was his plan, because he would no longer be terrifying." A cold gaze flashed across Lin Yu's eyes.

Meanwhile, the General who was kneeling in front of Yun Qingwu and Lin Yu was confused.

'Kill us one by one', 'no longer be terrifying'?

This two phrases…

Were definitely ironic.

After all, he felt that this type of opponent was the hardest to deal with because he could attack you anytime from the back.

"Young Lord, Demon Deity, should we…"

"Do not bother about him. If Meng Tian wants to kill us one by one, let him be," Lin Yu replied without waiting for Yun Qingwu to speak.

"Ah? Then Heaven Dao Pavilion… Young Lord?" The General was clearly confused. After a slight hesitation, he turned to look at Yun Qingwu.

"Hmm, follow Demon Deity Lin Yu's orders." Yun Qingwu did not bother explaining but instead nodded her head and walked out of the palace in the direction of the stone room.

Lin Yu followed closely.

However, he maintained a feet's distance away and followed quietly as though he was her shadow.

The General looked at Lin Yu and Yun Qingwu with his mouth agape. He wanted to make some comments but eventually shut his mouth tight.

"Yes!" The General left quickly after taking the order.

However…

When he left, he saw a figure, who was dressed almost identically as him, scurrying in the haze. He was heading towards Yun Qingwu's direction.

"Young Lord, urgent… urgent report!"

"Hmm?" Lin Yu who was just about to accompany Yun Qingwu back to the stone room stopped and turned around with anger in his eyes. "What is it? Do you not know that it's time for Young Lord to rest?"

"Demon… Demon Deity, it is… is regarding Meng Tian's…" The General's face paled after he heard Lin Yu's words.

"Meng Tian again?!" Lin Yu looked slightly shocked but was more overwhelmed with disbelief.

That was because there was already something awry with Meng Tian, hence why would there be any news about him?

Could it be that…

The Heaven Dao Pavilion had been invaded?

So fast?

Lin Yu was confused. Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stopped and turned to look at the General.

"What news have you got?" Yun Qingwu asked gently.

"It's … It's the news from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. They saw Meng Tian in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain!" After completing his sentence, the General raised an envelope over his head.

"What?!" Lin Yu was stunned and could no longer hide his shock.

How was that possible?

One needed at least ten days to get from Heaven Dao Pavilion to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, How could Meng Tian appear at both locations at the same time?

Auditory hallucination?

Or was it false intelligence report?

Lin Yu took the envelope without any hesitation and was extremely confused.

Meanwhile, the General who had reported earlier on also widened his eyes in shock.

Another Meng Tian who appeared in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?

This was not only something that was "impossible". To him, he could be killed for delivering false military report after a thorough investigation.

"Young Lord, this was exactly the news I received. The envelope had the mark of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, it shouldn't be wrong…"

"Take your leave first. I will investigate this matter by myself." Yun Qingwu waved her hand and broke off the General's sentence before taking the envelope from Lin Yu's hands.

This was a special paper made by Yun Qingwu. Apart from the different marks which represented the various locations, every piece of the paper had a mark made by Yun Qingwu.

Intelligence reports was viewed with great importance by Yun Qingwu. Therefore, how could she tolerate fake intelligence reports?

However, in her hand…

The mark on the envelope was extremely clear.

"Both are… real intelligence reports?" Yun Qingwu's calm expression finally changed.

…

It was a starry night at the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the Holy Region.

It was the place where all the talented individuals of the Four Great Empires headed to. The name of Heaven Dao Pavilion was known for using the sword to help one with his cultivation and the access of Dao.

However, it was a pity that the current Heaven Dao Pavilion was in an unsightly mess.

Of course, the buildings made of white jade stone was still standing on the Sword Peak, bathing in the radiance of the stars.

"Report, Meng Tian… he left!" A sharp voice was heard on the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion as a figure fell to his knees.

"Left?" Different expressions flashed across the faces of the 20 figures who were on the Sword Peak.

Their expressions were extremely strange.

Yes, two days ago, Meng Tian's trace was discovered five miles away from the Heaven Dao Pavilion. After all, his trademark — the black cloth — was too eye-catching.

God!

Who on earth would sew the big word 'God' on a face cloth?

Only Meng Tian!

In less than one month's time, his appearance had stirred up commotion in the Four Great Empires and the Holy Region.

In the Blood Shadow City, Meng Tian had split open the entire Demonic Hall alone with a strike of his sword. With another strike, he split the sturdy city gate of the Blood Shadow City into two.

Furthermore, he had defeated Lin Ji, the Godly State expert of the Monster Race.

Now…

He was holding the Demon Lord as hostage.

How could the Monster Race and Demon Race soldiers, who were guarding the Heaven Dao Pavilion, not make an immediate report on the appearance of Meng Tian at a distance five miles away from the Heaven Dao Pavilion to the Great Swamp?

However, Meng Tian left!

Just as they were making the necessary preparation for a shocking great war, Meng Tian decided to leave without a sound.

What the hell?!

Was he passing by?

"Meng Tian… In which direction did he leave to?" A voice was heard after the twenty over figures exchanged gazes with each other.

"I think it was towards the direction of the Ling Xiao Mountain," said the figure on the ground after a slight hesitation.

"Ling Xiao Mountain? Hmm… That's right. Young Empress had speculated that Meng Tian would head directly to the Ling Xiao Mountain to meet the three sects after reaching the Holy Region."

"Should we block his way?"

"Is that possible?"

"Er…" The figures looked at each other and fell silent. After all, they were limited in terms of their powers. Although they had invaded the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there were only three Monster Kings and no Godly State experts stationed there.

"Although we can't block Meng Tian, we can't possibly not take any action and allow him to meet the three sects at the Ling Xiao Mountain!"

"Of course not. The three of you shall go and follow Meng Tian, however, make sure you see where he is heading to."

"Yes!" The three figures nodded and leaped down from the Sword Peak.
