Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2027 - 1079: Undercurrents (3)

Han Guang gave a nod of approval, and the mood quickly buzzed with energy once more.

The Night Emperor praised,

"A bold and resolute decision indeed. Rumors say your bond with Tai Li, the Demon King of the Demon Clan, runs deep. Any possibility left with the Demon Clan? Golden Turtle Island shares strong links with them too."

Yuan Hong could be defiant, yet he counts as a Monkey Demon himself. Add Su Daji to the mix, and the ties are undeniably profound.

"Probably not. No clue what agreement the Human Emperor struck with the Demon Clan. Whenever I probe, Tai Li dodges with vague replies, hinting at the Demon Saint Spear. Right now, Demon Clan and Human Clan stand as allies, trading Spiritual Medicine for Human Clan-raised livestock turned into Blood Food..."

Han Guang had evidently reached out to Tai Li several times prior, showing a trace of frustration as he mentioned it.

"Still, without the Human Emperor calling for aid, the Demon Clan won't step up on their own."

"Does that mean requesting help turns them into enemies?"

The Night Emperor was caught off guard by this. He'd assumed handling the Demon Clan would be simple.

Despite the fall of two Demon Kings.

"In theory, yes, but our sudden strike leaves no window for them to call in reinforcements."

Han Guang delivered these words casually.

Victory or defeat changes nothing.

"We've come this far, no turning back now..."

Led by Golden Turtle Island, backed fiercely by Demon Path powerhouses Guldo and the World-crossing Dharma King, this rash scheme solidified into action.

Other Demon Path sects joined secular powers in the chaos, while grassland forces prepared to sweep south, slashing the Human Dao Dynasty's Kaji right at the Human Emperor!

That explained why Golden Turtle Island, despite their overwhelming might, came seeking alliance!

For the moment, the Human Dao Dynasty irks everyone involved.

Solve this thorn first, then tackle the rest...

...

"Well played..."

Tao Yu lounged in the Imperial Palace's Turquoise Pool, as if the Demon Path meeting mirrored vividly in his gaze.

The grassland lay outside Human Dao Dynasty borders in name only, permeated via commerce, letting Tao Yu spy on the full gathering without dipping into lesser agents.

Should he desire, direct input or advice lay within reach.

Watching Guldo and the World-crossing Dharma King stir the pot, Tao Yu lightly tapped the Golden Emperor:

"What game are you playing here?"

Guldo wielded the Heavenly Punishment Axe, the Golden Emperor's ultimate Divine Weapon; he served as little more than a tool for swinging it.

The World-crossing Dharma King fared no differently.

Ultimately, his sharpest foes spearheading the revolt were his own pieces—a rather absurd twist.

"Yuan Hong lacks prowess, but his greed towers high; he's just a construct at heart. Though swayed by some Tianyi, and foolishly hatching this plot from his essence, he refuses outright conquest of your Human Dao Dynasty..."

To Yuan Hong, smashing the Human Dao Dynasty spelled personal setback.

Karmic chains and repercussions would heap far worse woes upon him.

"Ha, craving all gains sans any sacrifice—Yuan Hong fits your description perfectly..."

Amid this odd tension, the immortal assembly loomed close, Dharma Bodies of Righteous Path, clans, and sect heads reconvening in the Divine Capital!

Meanwhile, Seven Overseas Realms, Twenty-Eight Islands, and the once-silent Demon Path sprang into motion...
