Chapter 1091: Chapter 53: Retreat
Tang One is indeed much easier to communicate with than Tang Two.
When Tang One said, "Let’s go," it marked the end of the whole affair—mission failed, the Eternal Sky City couldn’t be reclaimed, take me to see the boss behind you.
Well, for Tang One, whether the Eternal Sky City could be reclaimed was just a matter of circumstance. After all, the strategic significance of the Eternal Sky City wasn’t meant to serve any one individual. Tang Haofei, who cared about the world, understood that leaving the Eternal Sky City in the hands of Lin Haifeng was the best decision. But for a Demigod, this was an outcome too horrible to bear.
The entire plan was actually not for Tang Haofei but for the Eternal Sky City, or more precisely, for Wen Yu. Tang Haofei was merely a by-product of the strategy; just a bonus. Besides, the current Tang Haofei was extremely unstable, and with Tang One and Tang Two switching personalities back and forth, even if Tang Haofei was a peerlessly sharp knife, it was a double-edged blade, and with Tang Haofei’s power, it’s not an exaggeration to say there’s no one in this world who dares to wield this divine weapon.
Rescued but unusable... then why rescue you at all!
Inviting trouble?
Clearly, Tang Haofei understood this as well. Even though Tang One had awakened, Yanjing couldn’t possibly elevate Tang Haofei to the throne of the Human Race Protector God, and Wen Yu would not allow such an unstable factor like Tang Haofei to roam freely in the world. Being awake was one thing, appearing in public was another.
Tang One, wise and understanding, naturally knew his awkward situation. To put it bluntly, he was now just a glamorous vase; beautiful to look at, but to anyone, it’s only for viewing, not using. As Tang One thought, he was now completely redundant.
Perhaps meeting with the boss behind the Demigod first might be a good choice.
In short, the planning process went smoothly, the procedure faultless, yet the contingencies left by Lin Haifeng in the Eternal Sky City, coupled with the personality shifts of Tang One and Tang Two, had completely derailed the entire plan.
Utter failure plus wasted effort...
After understanding these things quickly, the Demigod took a couple of deep breaths, suppressing the frustration rising in his heart, then spoke: "Let’s go."
Since failure was inevitable, there’s no point in worrying about anything else; the current priority is to think about how to achieve the goal in such a complicated situation.
The Demigod’s face remained unmoving, but his mind was racing. From the surface, it seemed like the Demigod merely paused his step, then his figure floated up, directly flying toward the Yanjing Assembly Site below.
Ye Nan and Tang Haofei followed closely behind.
...
Yanjing Assembly Site, after half an hour of chaos, the turmoil in the Yanjing inner city zone was nearing an end.
The Yanjing elite corps had encircled the A3 to A6 districts in the Yanjing inner city zone, with countless heavy artillery, defense weapons, and runes sealing off several streets tightly, while ’Lin Tianxue’s subordinates’ were captured without resistance under such an offensive.
Simply put, the two sides were not even on the same level. Even in Lin Haifeng’s absence, Lin Tianxue’s "uprising" quickly collapsed under Yanjing’s defensive instinct. Even the troops and powerful experts originally drawn to Lin Tianxue made wise choices when the "Lin Tianxue Rebellion" commenced.
Messing around with you was for the meat, but for this obvious act of throwing an egg against a rock, sorry, count me out.
Nobody’s foolish; if you want influence, we can follow you and speak up for you at times, but if you want to overthrow Commander Lin’s rule... haha, you as a woman don’t know how strong Lin Haifeng is, but we as military leaders are fully aware.
From the start, anyone with sense knew all of Lin Tianxue’s machinations were just small tricks in the eyes of Lin Haifeng.
So, everything that happened in the Yanjing inner city zone appeared, to most, like nothing more than a folly by Lin Tianxue losing her mind. The surrounding military and even military powerful experts watched the giant water ball in the encirclement as if they were watching a monkey show.
Inside the water ball, Walter was single-handedly suppressing Lin Tianxue and her three Limit Breakthrough Level powerful experts. Seeing Walter’s easy and carefree demeanor, anyone could tell this farce had reached its conclusion.
However, the true situation might only be understood by a few within the encirclement.
"Walter! Walter!!!"
Lin Tianxue’s face twisted with rage, she ranted like a shrew, hurling abuse at Walter who was suppressing Qin Tian and the others in front!
By now, Lin Tianxue finally understood everything. She had been duped by the brother she revered...
But even with this realization, what could she do? Walter’s water ball isolated all sound, distorted the images inside, leaving no way to convey any information outside. Even if Lin Tianxue wanted to tell everyone the truth, she could do nothing under Walter’s obstruction.
It’s obvious, after half an hour, with Kuangliu’s execution and intelligence, everything that should have happened had happened. It’s too late to say anything now. She was doomed to bear this blame.
Facing Lin Tianxue’s tirades, Walter just casually launched droplets to intercept Qin Tian and the others’ attacks—he had no intent to kill.
By now, Qin Tian and the others had no desire to continue this senseless fight. Seeing Walter’s casual attacks, even Qin Tian didn’t use his Profound Sword Technique, merely going through the motions with Walter.
