The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 790: The Three Sages Act

Proofreader: Papatonks

Clan Head, you dont look the least bit nervous. Sitting refined in the lounge, Leng Wuchang sipped on his tea while giving Luo Yunhai a smile.

Luo Yunhai was unphased, With Sir Leng so certain in his plan, then all must be assured. How would worry help at this point?

Ha-ha-ha, Clan Head, you hold me in such high regard and trust. Touched, Leng Wuchang smiled.

Over the years, Luo Yunhai had shown complete trust in his aids, making these old coots feel their efforts being rewarded and being loyal in return.

Luo Yunhai did not speak, only smiled

Later, footsteps were heard as Li Jingtians booming voice echoed, Clan Head, we have brought them!

Show them in! Luo Yunhai stood up and shouted in joy. Leng Wuchang smiled and stood as well.

The door was opened and Li Jingtian led Venerable Bais group to sit in the lounge. Seeing Luo Yunhai, they all showed their thanks, Thank you, Luo Clan Head for the timely rescue!

Please dont mind it, take a seat.

Luo Yunhai glossed over, The Luo clan had been brought up by brother Zhuo alone. As you are his trusted aides, then we are all on the same side. Finding out that youre in peril, its only my duty to come help! We have fought shoulder to shoulder after all, ha-ha-ha

Luo Yunhais bright laughter entered their ears and made them lower their heads. They were still doubtful the Luo clan was to be trusted yet the Clan Head himself proved that loyalty hadnt yet died in the world. Just because of their connection with Zhuo Fan, the Clan Head risked his men to save them.

This action of the Luo clan had painted a target on them, becoming an enemy of the three sects.

They all felt ashamed, with Venerable Bai taking a step forward and making a deep bow, Luo Clan Head, weve dragged you into this. You couldve stayed outside of the three sects troubles but now

Elder Bai, its fine. Since someone wants to take out brother Zhuo, we, the Luo clan, are already involved!

Luo Yunhais eyes flashed, his face hard, When I became Clan Head, I vowed that brother Zhuos enemies are Luo clans enemies. No matter who it is, or how many, the Luo clan will have brother Zhuos back all the way!

Shaking, they all were impressed by Luo Yunhais valor.

Just what kind of friendship could he have to give everything for one man, even his whole clan?

[No wonder Steward Zhuo wanted to give up being Sect Leader. This man was worth following.]

Venerable Bai and the others admired him. Not even in their long years in the Demon Scheming Sect had they seen such a worthy man to follow.

The Demon Scheming Sect only cared about self-interest, while the Luo clan was a united group.

Now they understood why Zhuo Fan was so eager to get back

Boom~

Explosions came followed by the world shaking around them, with the lounge about to collapse.

The men panicked and Luo Yunhai frowned. He turned to Leng Wuchang with a questioning look.

Leng Wuchang smiled, Ha-ha-ha, easy now. Theyre but the pursuers attacking the defensive array.

Pursuers? Those hundred Ethereal Stage experts? Startled, Venerable Qi cried, Thats bad! An average array cant hold back so many Ethereal Stage experts!

The others grew tense and were ready to fight at any moment.

Leng Wuchang and Luo Yunhai shared a look and laughed, Its fine. I already surmised youd want to escape western lands through Tianyu. Thats why three months earlier I had men set up 18 arrays all above 7th grade. Also, they all use sacred stones. And since the elders are overlooking it, those hundred thugs cant put a dent in it.

[Thugs? Them?]

Shocked, they all were flabbergasted.

[Whos he to call a hundred Ethereal Stage experts thugs? Isnt he too cocky? Hes only in the Radiant Stage too. Maybe hes like High Venerable, hiding his power behind lower cultivation?]

They then looked behind to see Li Jingtian gone.

Uhm, sir, may I ask Venerable Bai bowed.

Leng Wuchang cupped his hands, I am Leng Wuchang of Tianyu.

What? Youre Unwonted Contriver, one of the three sages? Venerable Bai and the others were stunned, Sirs reputation precedes you.

Leng Wuchang waved his hand, Please, as a cultivator, I am nothing to you. But as a supervisor, with enough pawns in my hand, I can beat any one of you.

Indeed, sirs genius has long since been known. I never imagined youd stay in the Luo clan. Were shocked. Venerable Bai and the others nodded.

They knew that while Leng Wuchang wasnt much in terms of cultivation, but as a supervisor of the clan, he had countless people he could direct and multiply their effective power.

In the cultivating world, especially in the western lands, there were hardly many large scale conflicts where his advantage could be used. But now, since they were hunted by three sects, they needed a sharp mind like Leng Wuchang more than anything.

Understanding their intent, Leng Wuchang smiled, From the report You Ming sent, these people fled at the first sign of battle. No one can focus their power and thus shows they are headless. They look to be made up of Ethereal Stage experts but as a whole theyre nothing but thugs.

The best way to deal with them is in three clashes. First is an all out attack, second will be their crushed spirits and third comes their feebleness. Afterward, they would scurry away. Thats why you need not worry. Theyll soon be running back home.

Uhm, Sir Leng, the You Ming youre talking about, is he perhaps Insidious Demon You Guiqis disciple?

Leng Wuchang nodded, You heard of him too?

You Guiqi wanted to join the Demon Scheming Sect to get Hell Valley an ally, but his aptitude was poor and he was disregarded. But then he became one of Tianyus three sages, earning his name. To gain fame with a shrewd mind is much harder. I never thought his disciple would be with the Luo clan. No wonder the Luo clan evolved so much with two sages.

Venerable Bai admired and the others echoed him.

Leng Wuchang and Luo Yunhai shared a smile.

Fifteen minutes later, the booming stopped and You Ming came in with the elders.

Leng Wuchang asked, Is it over? Didnt I have you strike them as they fell back to push them further?

No point. You Ming shrugged, You wanted to exhaust them completely and buy time when calling for help for Zhuge, but I have convinced them to leave. They wont be back for a while. It all worked out the same.

Leng Wuchang smiled, Convinced?

Yes. Their group consisted of sixty-five from Heaven Trailing Sect, twenty-six from Demon Scheming Sect and eleven from Mystical Heaven Sect. We held complete advantage over the fight and could finish them off without a problem, but that would ruin your plan, right? Ha-ha-ha

You Ming sat down, So I took it upon myself to kill the twenty-six from Demon Scheming Sect, heavily wound the eleven from Mystical Heaven Sect and as for Heaven Trailing Sects I told them I received news that we and Heaven Trailing Sect had made peace. I had them go back to their Sect Leader and ask him themselves.

Leng Wuchang raised an eyebrow, News? Why havent I heard of it?

It should come at some point, or you wouldnt have let me fight with Heaven Trailing Sects safety in mind.

You trust him that much?

As the previous Prime Minister of the empire, foreign affairs were his strongest suit. Grinning, You Ming ignored the extra people around and dangled one leg over the other after taking his teacup.

Leng Wuchang laughed, True, the old guy has that for him.

Uhm, Sir Leng, who are you talking about? Luo Yunhai was confused.

Leng Wuchangs eyes flashed as he bowed, Clan Head, that old guy Zhuge Changfeng had sent a message two months ago, saying that hell return from visiting other nations.

Steward Zhuge is coming back? Luo Yunhai cried.

Leng Wuchang smiled, I have informed him of our situation and of my plan and proposed that he not return yet, but make a trip to Heaven Trailing Sect.

Heaven Trailing Sect? The rest went bug eyed.

Venerable Bai was shocked. Leng Wuchang smiled, Yes, that sect. In fact, the Luo clan has a third sage as well. With his silver tongue, your life should be guaranteed.

Venerable Bai blinked in disbelief.

I mean that with all three sages from Tianyu acting up, well turn your situation around and get the pursuit off you. Or if we had let Clan Head go ahead with the whole clan and be ruled by emotions, wed never have agreed to save you so easily.

Leng Wuchang shook his head.
