Chapter 1037 Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy and Inviting the Enemy into a Trap
Outside the Jade Pool.
Four figures slowly descended.
Rich spiritual energy surged out from the venue, celestial music echoed, and gods gathered. Xinge’s gaze fell on the Peach Banquet in the distance, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
“It’s the Great Xia Gods! They are indeed here!”
Xinge narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing the fluctuations of over a hundred divine powers emanating from the venue, his expression visibly darkening.
“How is this possible… why are their auras so strong? There’s no sign of injury at all. And despite facing an imminent joint attack from our four divine nations, they still have the leisure to host a banquet?
Could it be that destroying Takamagahara truly didn’t cost them anything?
The foundation of the Great Xia Gods is terrifyingly profound?!”
Nearby, Si Xiaonan, Leng Xuan, and An Qingyu exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan, who had long been away from Great Xia territory, naturally knew nothing about the Great Xia Gods’ movements. An Qingyu was just a Night Watcher, and he also had no understanding of the true strength of the Great Xia Gods…
Now seeing the Great Xia Gods’ power so formidable, they felt relieved but also worried.
The true nature of the Great Xia Gods had been probed by Xinge, which would ultimately be a disaster for Great Xia!
Now Loki had already heard about the situation here through that ear, which couldn’t be undone, but at least they could find a way to prevent Xinge from returning alive to India.
Asgard was currently enveloped in the tense atmosphere brought by the Grandmaster’s challenge letter. Even if they knew about the Great Xia Gods’ situation, they wouldn’t have time to do anything extra. But if the Indian Temple of Gods, who were watching from the sidelines, learned about this, what measures they might take would be unpredictable.
“Since we’ve already discovered the truth about the Great Xia Gods, we should return quickly to report. Staying here longer might only create variables,” Si Xiaonan glanced at An Qingyu, rubbed his nose, and said.
Xinge pondered for a moment, then nodded, “You’re right, we should retreat as soon as possible…”
“I disagree.”
An Qingyu suddenly interrupted Xinge.
Xinge and Si Xiaonan both turned to look at him. Si Xiaonan frowned and spoke coldly, “Little An, is it your turn to speak?”
“Let’s hear what he wants to say.” Xinge became interested seeing An Qingyu’s determined expression.
“If our goal is to investigate the Great Xia Gods’ situation, then just taking a distant glance like this seems too perfunctory,” An Qingyu said seriously. “If we return now, apart from bringing back the news that ‘the Great Xia Gods’ power remains intact,’ we won’t have any other useful information.”
“You have a point,” Xinge nodded slightly, frowning in thought.
“In my opinion, with divine war imminent, these Great Xia Gods choosing to host a banquet at this time must be discussing content related to Great Xia’s strategic deployment against the four divine nations. If we get closer, we might hear their strategic arrangements.
If we can bring back such intelligence, all of Great Xia’s deployment plans will be exposed on the future battlefield. That would be a great achievement.”
An Qingyu pushed up his glasses.
Xinge’s eyes gradually brightened.
“As expected of the God of Mischief’s servant.” Xinge’s lips curled into a smile. “It would indeed be a waste to just return now.”
He paused for a moment, then changed his tone, “But with so many Great Xia Gods presiding here, if we get too close, they will surely detect us…”
“I have a solution for that,” Si Xiaonan suddenly spoke, raising her fingertip. A thin veil appeared simultaneously on her, Leng Xuan, and An Qingyu.
The moment these veils appeared, their auras seemed to vanish from the world, completely isolated without a trace.
Seeing this, Xinge was slightly stunned:
“What is this?”
“The [Unconnected Veil],” Si Xiaonan calmly explained. “This thin veil can isolate all aura fluctuations. As long as we don’t enter deep into the venue, we won’t be exposed.”
Xinge carefully sensed the thin veil on the three, his eyes showing desire.
At this moment, Si Xiaonan coldly looked at Xinge and calmly said:
“You can leave now.”
Hearing this, Xinge frowned, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you understand yet?” Si Xiaonan sneered. “I cooperated with you only to use you to find Kunlun Void. Now that I’m standing here, you have no more value… My two servants and I can complete the rest.”
“You want to monopolize the intelligence? We four nations are allies.”
“So what if we’re allies? Did we ever say all intelligence must be shared?” Si Xiaonan patted his shoulder, her eyes revealing mockery. “The fact that I’m not killing you now but letting you leave to relay the message that the Great Xia Gods’ power remains intact to the Temple of Gods is already showing respect for our alliance.
A mere Indian proxy, don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Uncontrollable anger flared in Xinge’s eyes. “This is using me and discarding me!”
“Yes, I’m discarding you. So what?”
“Hehe.” Xinge took a deep breath and sneered. “You don’t think this will threaten me, do you? If you abandon me, you won’t get any intelligence either.
Do you believe that if you leave me behind and enter the venue wearing the [Unconnected Veil], I’ll immediately take action to draw the Great Xia Gods’ attention? At worst, we’ll all be exposed together, mutual destruction!”
Xinge’s eyes flashed with unprecedented madness.
Si Xiaonan’s brow furrowed.
Beside them, the corner of An Qingyu’s mouth imperceptibly flashed a smile.
Si Xiaonan stared at Xinge, pondering for a long time, then finally took a deep breath. “Fine… what’s one more person? But let me be clear, once we’re inside, you follow my orders.”
“Agreed.”
Seeing Si Xiaonan concede, Xinge suddenly felt a sense of achievement.
Is this the method of the God of Mischief’s proxy? Hehe, not so impressive after all…
Si Xiaonan raised her fingertip, and a thin [Unconnected Veil] also covered Xinge. The four exchanged glances and then stealthily moved toward the entrance of the venue.
Indeed, Si Xiaonan’s [Unconnected Veil] proved highly effective. None of the numerous celestial soldiers guarding the entrance detected their presence. The four successfully approached them and were about to pass through the gate into the venue.
At this moment, Si Xiaonan, An Qingyu, and Leng Xuan secretly exchanged glances.
An Qingyu silently took out a surgical knife, flicked his wrist, and sent it flying toward the ground in front of the celestial soldiers.
Slash—!
The surgical knife pierced the ground, making a slight sound.
All the celestial soldiers turned their heads simultaneously, vigilantly looking in the direction of the surgical knife.
Xinge was stunned, not yet understanding what had happened when Leng Xuan behind him suddenly kicked out, solidly hitting his back and sending him stumbling several meters forward, standing right in the center of the celestial soldiers’ field of vision.
At the same time, Si Xiaonan raised her fingertip.
The [Unconnected Veil] covering Xinge instantly disappeared.
