Chapter 645 - Allies and Enemies
Alex simply waved his hand to reply to him while sending a wave of Spiritual Energy to create the portal and leave. "Goodbye."
The moment he returned to the real world, he quickly used his Teleportation Array to send him to the Black Devil Sect. He took Anna\'s card and asked, "Where is everyone? I want to hold a meeting for what we are going to do next."
"I understand. I will assemble everyone in the room where we found Blood Gem, is that alright?" Anna asked.
"Yes." Knowing nothing about the building inside Black Devil Sect, Alex immediately agreed. He flew inside the building and waited there alone before Sherry and the other Contracted Beasts arrived with Anna.
"How is the journey?"
"It\'s fine." Alex nodded as he contemplated for a minute. "Anna… Do you know any place where I can create a Special Realm?"
Anna furrowed her eyebrows and noticed why he wished to have one, but still asked to confirm it. "Do you want to use it for Rune Stone?"
"Yes. I only use two days for all of this, so I think I can go to the other three continents and set up the Rune Stone. As for the Heavenly Continent, we can set up one after we step on that continent." Alex nodded. "The place doesn\'t need to be necessarily big since it is only for this stone and enough space to teleport."
"I have several locations where you can place it on this continent. However, where are you going to place these stones on other continents?" Anna asked.
"I haven\'t decided yet on Nilis Continent due to my lack of information. However, I wish to set up one inside my base on the Northern Continent and one around the place I ended up after my first time entering the upper world."
Anna pondered for a moment. "I agree with these two places… As for the Nilis Continent, I have one place that is good to hide one. Do you remember when you?finished your Lightning Tribulation and stopped to receive the inheritance?"
Alex nodded. "I remember it."
"There is a cave north of the forest. That was the place where Nelson spent his time while investigating the Nilis Continent. In other words, it was his base. Due to the specific location and growing nature, the place was perfectly hidden. If you can set up a small concealment array there, I doubt nobody will find it."
"Alright. Give me a map. I will go there." Alex agreed without hesitation. He never knew the region there anyway since he never took time to stop before going to the Sacred Continent.
Anna nodded. "I will have Nelson to make you a simple map after this."
Alex nodded as they decided to wait for the other spirits to come, albeit Anna decided to recall a few that were too far from them while the one closer slowly went back to the back while making sure no one followed them.
When every spirit assembled, he finally started the discussion. "I have several problems that I need to address. First, the Ancient Blue Family has agreed to lend many warriors from their family to attack us, right? Although they come from this continent, we still need to fight Martial Emperors… I need someone to investigate how many they will bring and their power level."
"I can investigate them." Nelson nodded.
"Don\'t forget to release a rumor about our appearance to make sure they will bite the bait and walk into our trap. As for the specific, I will let you know later after understanding their power level." Alex nodded before addressing the second problem. "After killing these people, there will be a period where I help Sherry to evolve her Pure Fire. I need two to three months for it, I guess. In the meantime, there should be a huge movement on the Heavenly Continent, especially from the Fire God Clan and Ancient Blue Family."
When Alex addressed this problem, the spirits furrowed their eyebrows as Nelson said, "I feel I can watch the movement from Ancient Blue Family before you come to the Heavenly Continent."
Alex thought for a moment. Nelson always did this kind of job. The recent one was where he investigated the entire Nilis Continent and Sacred Continent alone, where Alex was in another world. If the Ancient Blue Family was the only influence he needed to investigate, it should be fine.
"I understand. I need to count the Ancient Blue Family to you." Alex nodded. "At present, we have three enemies. First is the new one, Ancient Blue Family. The second reason will be Fire God Clan, which is our arch-enemy at the moment, while the last one is Snow White Mountain. Although the last one has yet to be confirmed, I should make them go through some pain…"
"So… How do you want to deal with this, Young Master?" Nelson asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Now, there is a chance that Snow White Mountain will discover my identity… I want a close eye on their movement and make sure they won\'t know until I want them to know." Alex paused for a moment. "Before solving these three, I think I want to see if we have our potential allies on the Heavenly Continent."
"I think we can believe in the Blackwade Clan. As long as you can present the Supreme VIP Card, then they should become your ally." Anna added almost immediately.
Alex was stunned as he couldn\'t understand where her confidence came from. Only one thing that was capable of bringing such confidence. "Is there a Blackwade Clan outside this world?"
"Ah!" Anna was startled upon hearing the question. Even though she didn\'t act weirdly, Alex already had his answer. "Alright. I will know about it later… Maybe."
Alex sighed. He tried to search the worlds\' information from his inheritances but found nothing that could relate to the Blackwade Clan. He thought since he had numerous information about monsters, planets, and so on. The next Lightning Tribulation might give him information about something like this.
"For now, I will believe in you and think the Blackwade Clan as an ally… Of course, only the higher-ups who know about the existence of my Supreme VIP Card. There should be three people, so those three will be considered as an ally unless I find otherwise." Alex nodded. "Then, is there any other one?"
"I think Drunken Pavilion can be considered as one," Anya added.
"Their leader knows my Master, so I can ask for a favor from him with my master\'s token, of course." Alex nodded. "I don\'t want to involve them soon, but I will certainly ask for a favor in an important matter."
After saying the two influences, the group fell into silence.
"I see. There is no more ally on the Heavenly Continent. If we consider our group as one influence, then we can go for a three versus three fight?? I doubt it will escalate to that point, though." Alex shrugged.
"Yeah. On the other hand, we can move in the dark and pressure one influence to back out. At that time, we can ask the Blackwade Clan and Drunken Pavilion to pressure this influence." Anya suggested before narrowing her eyes and saying in a cold tone. "The influence I mean is the Ancient Blue Family. They have been too greedy for their approach, and we only pay them back by killing many people from their families. As long as we don\'t completely destroy the Ancient Blue Family on this continent, I feel like there is still room for negotiation."
Alex thought for a moment and nodded his head. "In that case, the situation will be far better."
"Well, we have identified our enemies and allies, so I think we should move on from this problem. We know there will be a major movement soon, but we have yet to know what kind of major movement. It\'s better to see first, so we don\'t plan twice." Anya stopped the conversation abruptly, feeling that there was no point in discussing it any longer.
Alex thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Alright. We should discuss how we want to deal with the Fire God Clan and Ancient Blue Family in less than two weeks. We have gotten the information about the Fire God Clan power level, but have yet to understand the Ancient Blue Family."
"I will investigate it right now since Narman is busy watching the other influences on this continent." Nelson nodded.
"Alright." Alex nodded before glancing at Anya. He was too busy in the past two days, so Anya should have thought about the plan first.
Knowing his intention, Anya nodded and shared her plan. "First of all, Martial Emperors won\'t hold us back unless they are coming in great numbers. However, I believe with enough preparation, information, and traps, we can win this easily. On the other hand, the real problem will be the two Martial Saints.
"If possible, we want to kill these two Martial Saints visible but not visible at the same time. We are currently too weak to be compared to the Fire God Clan. That\'s why I want to have us appear strong. I want Alex to use your Sword and Spear to block a few attacks from them as if they are nothing. This way, many people can see that you are a powerful person.
"Of course, you can act as if you are a bit hurt and try to escape in the end to separate the two Martial Saints they sent to us from their group. I want you to kill them with the token and don\'t come back to the battle before I ask you." Anya explained.
"Before you ask me?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yeah. If you are too early, they will think you have a trap or whatever. However, if you have perfect timing, a bit tattered appearance like you just have a hard battle, we can demoralize them. We can let go of one or two people from the Ancient Blue Family to tell the tale." Anya smirked.
Alex tilted his head in confusion. "Won\'t it be known by the influences on the Heavenly Continent… Wait!"
While saying the effect, he realized why Anya wanted to let the people from the Ancient Blue Family go back instead of the Fire God Clan. Firstly, those people will inform their family head on this continent. The family head himself shouldn\'t go to the Heavenly Continent to inform this to the main family.
The messenger should be sent from this family, and by the time it arrives, the head of their main family will understand the reason before sending a messenger to the Fire God Clan. After all of this process, the information will be naturally altered depending on their comprehension level.
The detail wouldn\'t be possible to be conveyed, but the news about Alex killing two Martial Saints should reach their ears. Knowing such a powerful person hiding in their side, the Fire God Clan will need to rethink their plan and shift their people to the Sacred Continent. At that time, Alex could simply enter the Heavenly Continent through the Northern Continent. He had his Rune Stone anyway, so traveling wouldn\'t be a big deal.
At that time, they would have a time of peace while making the Fire God Clan panic. They could harass them with a few attacks toward their main clan, so they will recall their people, or he could ask the Blackwade Clan and Drunken Pavilion to attack them at this point of time together with Spirit Nest.
There were many possible futures if he went according to this plan, and Anya felt this was their best option. After pondering for a few minutes, Alex finally gave the nod. "We will go according to this plan and make the Fire God Clan miserable. At the same time, I\'m absolutely sure that my Pure Fire will be known after this. At that time, the future will be vague again."
"Though you can easily convince Blackwade Clan and Drunken Pavilion to take action if they know about your Pure Fire," Anya added with a smile.
"Our plan has been finalized." Alex stood up and looked at Nelson with a serious expression. "Nelson, make me a map for your base on Nilis Continent. I\'m planning to go there after this."
"Understood. Give me an hour."
"Sure."
