A man and a beast departed from the Barbarian Tribe swiftly. When they arrived outside the surrounding area, Qin Wushuang slowed down. From his estimation, the Barbarian Tribe should have already sent someone to report to their Tribal Chiefs. The chiefs should currently be on their way back.
Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast concealed their bodies at a remote corner. The terrain was expansive and easy to attack, defend or retreat. Roads were accessible to all directions. It would be the best place to ambush those Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe.
“Boss, should we just pick this place?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast asked with curiosity.
Qin Wushuang nodded: “We will pick this place.”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast laughed mischievously: “Boss, we should make a big play this time. What do you think?”
“How shall we make a big play?”
“We will completely kill the leaders of the Barbarian Tribe.” The Purple Flame Electric Beast said with a cold tone.
“There are five great Tribal Chiefs in the Barbarian Tribe, it would be greatly difficult to destroy them all.” Qin Wushuang said in a low voice.
“However, if I don’t kill them, are you not scared that the Barbarians would come after the Stargaze Palace, and to seek revenge against them?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast asked with another question.
His words had hit Qin Wushuang in his weak spot. That’s right, after this conflict, certainly the Barbarian Tribe could direct the blame at Qin Wushuang. Then, it would implicate the Stargaze Palace and even affect the Eastwood Qin.
This was a situation that Qin Wushuang would never be willing to allow .
However, speaking realistically, it would be tremendously difficult to annihilate all five Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe with just them alone. It was near impossible to do.
After all, the five great Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe were not people to be trifled with. Each of them were elite warriors at the Perfect Stage. Although Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast were strong, they were still at the level of the Perfect Stage. The two of them had not truly get merged into the void and reached the Void Martial Stage.
Unless one of them advanced to the Void Martial Stage, it would not be possible to kill all five Perfect Stage at once.
“Boss, you don’t think my words makes sense?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast pressed his question when he saw Qin Wushuang staying silent.
“Lone, unless Bao Bao is here, with just yours and my power, there is almost no winning chance of killing all five Tribal Chiefs. Even if I used the Graceful Spiritual Bow to launch a sneak attack and take out one or two, it would be hard to annihilate them all.”
“We should kill as many as we can. Besides, I don’t think we are bereft of hope. Boss, think of a way, if we can kill two to three with the first move, I think we will stand a chance!”
Qin Wushuang said with a smile: “How could it be easy to kill two to three with the first move?”
“With Boss’s Graceful Spiritual Bow, plus my sneak attack, it’s still possible with the first move.” However, the Purple Flame Electric Beast was persistent with his suggestion.
“For sure the Barbarian Tribe would have clear information regarding yours and my unique traits. Naturally, those Tribal Chiefs would think it’s me. When they know it’s me, they would know that I have the Graceful Spiritual Bow and would stay alert along the way. The difficulty of launching a sneak attack would greatly increase.”
Previously, Qin Wushuang had used the Graceful Spiritual Bow to avert the crisis at the Monkey King Mountain. Certainly, those Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe must have remembered him. Plus with Qin Wushuang’s high reputation in the human countries, he was afraid that he would have no secrets with the Barbarian Tribe. It goes with the saying of how a tall tree attracts wind.
While the Purple Flame Electric Beast still wanted to argue, Qin Wushuang said: “Lone, don’t speak for a moment, let me think.”
“Boss, at this point, what are you still thinking about?”
“Lone, look, we’ve already realized our goal. Perhaps, Bao Bao has just arrived at the Red Maple Human Clan territory. And it would take another few days for the information to travel from the Red Maple Human Clan, right?”
“Of course, since the Red Maple Human Clan is the furthest away, their information would arrive the latest.”
“Then when the information from the Barbarian Tribe has arrived, the Red Maple Human Clan would also become alarmed. If they return before their designated time, wouldn’t it influence Bao Bao’s plan?”
“How would it influence that?”
“If the Red Maple Human Clan receives the news from the Barbarian Tribe, they would rush back to check on their headquarters. There will be a gap of time compared to rushing back after receiving the information from their own clan. This gap of time will influence Bao Bao’s plan!”
After Qin Wushuang’s detailed explanation, finally, the Purple Flame Electric Beast understood. He was stunned: “Boss, then what should we do?”
Qin Wushuang frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he had an idea and said: “Lone, for the Barbarian Tribe, we should give up on our plan of ambush!”
“Give up?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast immediately became unhappy, “Boss, we have finally created such a valuable chance, and you are saying we should give up, what are you thinking.”
However, Qin Wushuang said with a smile: “To give up for now, of course, it’s for another plan.”
“What plan?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast mumbled. Currently, he only wanted to fight a good battle with those five Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe and would not bother with anything else.
“When us and Bao Bao separated, it was equivalent to splitting our hands to hit people and does not give us any advantage. Bao Bao causing mayhem at the Red Maple Human Clan’s headquarters is nothing but nuisance to them. And despite what we did to the Barbarian Tribe’s headquarters, we cannot kill all of their leaders. Thus, we should gather our fists to hit one target.”
“Which one shall we hit?” Again, the Purple Flame Electric Beast was becoming interested.
“The Red Maple Human Clan!” A confident ray of intelligent light flashed from Qin Wushuang’s eyes, “The Barbarian Tribe must be scared and on the edge, worrying about us ambushing them along the way. We will not ambush them. We will evade them and follow the footsteps of the Red Maple Human Clan. At that time, we will attack from two sides and ambush them together with Bao Bao, wouldn’t that be much better? For the Barbarian Tribe, for sure they would be overly suspicious and worried that we would be surveilling them in the surrounding area. For sure, they would not be able to invade the Monkey King Mountain in the meantime. When we’ve finished taking care of the Red Maple Human Clan, we will turn around and take care the Barbarians. We would increase the rate of success if we concentrate all our power together.”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast was not a brainless spiritual beast. He thought for a bit and felt what Qin Wushuang said made sense. Since they had split their power, they could not inflict serious damage to any of the parties. Thus, they should converge their power and strike one of them first, then deal with the other.
Since these two clans were tens of thousands of miles apart, there would not be enough time to come to each other’s aid.
“Boss, we will do as you say. Let’s also give Bao Bao a surprise!” Instantly, the Purple Flame Electric Beast had regained his enthusiasm as his desire for combat grew tremendously.
Yet, Qin Wushuang was not in a rush: “Don’t be hasty, we still need to make some arrangements before we implement this plan. Firstly, we must evade the five returning Barbarian Tribal Chiefs. Secondly, we must make sure that the Red Maple Human Clan are on their way back. Thirdly, if they are already heading heading back, we must make sure that we can catch up them and follow behind them without getting discovered. Fourth, to deal with the Red Maple Human Clan, we must ask the Monkey Clan regarding how we should deal with the Red Maple Human Clan, whether to destroy them all, or inflict serious damage, we need the Silver Monkey King to decide.”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast said: “The third arrangement is easy. With my speed, I can totally catch up even if they have left first.”
“No time to waste, let’s head towards the direction of the Monkey King Mountain.” Qin Wushuang ordered.
After making their plans, Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast rushed rapidly towards the Monkey King Mountain without stopping. As the Purple Flame Electric Beast ran, he laughed: “Boss, no matter how fast the messenger of the Barbarian Tribe is, he would not be as fast as me. I am confident that I can reach the border of the Monkey King Mountain before their messenger!”
Qin Wushuang laughed: “That would be best. If that’s the case, we don’t need to consider the first arrangement. And for the second one, whether the Red Maple Human Clan has retreated or not, we can also observe them leisurely! The closer we are to the Monkey King Mountain, the easier it will be to implement the Third and the Fourth components of the plan.”
“Ok, watch me!” The Purple Flame Electric Beast increased his speed and urged all his power. Just like his namesake, he had instantly travelled hundred of miles like the thundering lightning.
Continuing without rest, when they finally arrived at the border of the Monkey King Mountain, the information from the Barbarian Tribe had not yet even reached two thirds of its destination.
“Boss, it seems we went too fast.” The Purple Flame Electric Beast said jokingly.
However, Qin Wushuang remained rather calm as he observed the surrounding and said to verify: “The information from the Barbarian Tribe has not arrived yet. From their actions, it seems that the Barbarian and the Red Maple Human Clan is preparing to attack.”
“Prepare to attack?”
“Yes.” Qin Wushuang said in a low voice.
“They are not scared of Bao Bao’s revenge?”
“To them, the Monkey King Mountain is too great an attraction. As long as they have taken over the Monkey King Mountain, they would have even more methods to ambush Bao Bao.’ Qin Wushuang analyzed, “Wouldn’t they have a higher success rate by setting up an ambush in the home of the Monkey Clan?”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast laughed evilly: “Boss, what should we do?”
“Wait!” Qin Wushuang only gave a one word answer.
“Wait?” The Purple Flame Electric Beast was confused.
“Yes, we will see how they will react when the information from the Barbarian Tribe arrives.” This was their only choice at this moment. It would be impossible to breakthrough their siege to enter the Monkey King Mountain. If they got any closer, the enemy would sense them.
Thus, they could only wait around this area for the message from the Barbarian Tribe to arrive.
Fortunately, they did not have to wait long. After half a day, the clansman delivering the message of the Barbarian Tribe had arrived. Both Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast were secretly overjoyed when they saw the messenger had arrived.
“A good show is about to begin, Lone, just wait and see!”
That elite warrior of the Barbarian Tribe had finally arrived after travelling at a high speed. Just when he had made it to the front, he was stopped by the external guards.
“Report to the five Tribal Chiefs, a crisis is happening back at the tribe!” That messenger of the Barbarian Tribe showed an anxious expression, yet he spoke with a low voice. Apparently, he wanted to avoid the words reaching unintended ears.
Hearing his words, that Barbarian guard that stopped him did not dare to tarry and went to report to the five Tribal Chiefs.
Currently, the five great Tribal Chiefs of the Barbarian Tribe was discussing with the eight elite warriors of the Red Maple Human Clan on how to attack the Monkey King Mountain. All of them thought that to break through the Monkey King Mountain, the crucial point was to take out the Silver Monkey King. As long as the king was dead, the other Elders and elite warriors of the Monkey Clan need not be feared. Only, the power of the Silver Monkey King was tremendous. Regarding individual combat, no one at the scene would be on par with him. Thus, to deal with the Silver Monkey King, the key point was a group attack. The best plan would be to encircle the Silver Monkey King and kill him in the shortest possible time. This was the most crucial part of the battle.
As they were discussing, one of the trusted aides of one of the Barbarian Tribal Chief came in. He whispered into the ear of the Head Tribal Chief and the expression of the Head Tribal Chief visibly changed.
