After giving the Thunder Plan the go ahead, it was almost time.
Therefore, Fade and Nile ended their cultivation and emerged from Wasteland Desert with a group of Thunder Army.
After making a quick stop in Sun-Moon City to explain the situation, Fade and Nile went straight to West Region City.
"What's the situation? Are there any movements on Jovian's side?" Fade asked Danyaal, who was stationed in West Region City.
Danyaal said, "Everything will be carried out according to your plan, Mr. Chen. Everything in West Region City is as usual. But Jovian received a notice from the capital city asking him to attend the sacrificial ceremony of our ancestors. The people from the capital city will be arriving in three days."
"Three days!" Fade nodded and then ordered,
"Bring Jovian here."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Jovian was brought over.
The usually domineering West Region King lowered his head and walked into the room, bowing respectfully to Fade.
Although all his actions seemed respectful, Fade still saw anger and killing intent in his eyes.
However, Fade did not care about this. He immediately said, "Jovian, I will go with you to the sacrificial ceremony of our ancestors in the capital city."
"Ah, this..." Jovian looked surprised.
Fade did not intend to explain further. He continued, "I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm just informing you."
"By the way, let me remind you. If my identity is exposed, I'm sure you know what will happen..."
Jovian's body trembled and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will never betray you."
"You better keep your word!" Fade said, "Let's
go down and prepare."
Three days later, a team of people from the capital city arrived at West Region City.
Jovian warmly welcomed them. He then decided that they will set off for the capital city to attend the sacrificial ceremony of the ancestors in a week's time.
Therefore, the entire West Region King mansion, and even the entire West Region City, were busy preparing for the departure.
Fade and Nile sat in the room.
Fade took a sip and said, "Master, what do you think of this sacrificial ceremony?"
Nile narrowed his eyes, shook his head gently, and said, "I don't have much information for the time being, so I can't figure out Mulji's real intention."
"But I'm certain that he's up to something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to gather all the kings, generals, and nobles from all over the country."
"After all, when my father was still alive, I had
never seen him so filial. Humph!"
A week later, a troop of 500 people set off, carrying Jovian as they marched toward the capital city.
On the surface, it looked as if the West Region King's team had entered the mansion to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.
However, Fade and Nile had already replaced most of the people with the elites of the Thunder Army. Danyaal and Nine- fingered Devil, who were beside Fade, also disguised themselves and joined them.
As for the rest of the Thunder Army, they had already set off in batches a few days ago, disguised as caravans, hunters, and refugees, as they entered the capital city.
The team set off.
Half a day later, Fade suddenly saw two familiar figures behind them. They were Trevor and Jevelyn, whom he had rescued.
Mulji used this to set up a defensive formation.
If Nile entered rashly, his identity would be exposed immediately.
Therefore, Fade had to accompany Jovian into the palace.
Nile stayed outside and did his best to find out what was going on in the capital city. He also arranged the Thunder Army to make preparations.
After all, failure was not an option for this
operation.
Even if Nile was confident in his strength, he had to be careful and made as much preparation as possible.
On Fade's side, he accompanied Jovian to the palace.
It had to be said that Mulji was quite good at enjoying himself. The palace was not only large but also rich in Spiritual Qi. All kinds of precious spiritual plants and ores were carefully placed in the palace, turning into exquisite and different courtyards and pavilions.
At this time, the place where Mulji was entertaining Jovian and other relatives of the royal family was a water pavilion called "Blue Water Pavilion".
As a guard, Fade naturally could not enter the pavilion. He could only stand guard outside.
However, this was also the perfect opportunity for him to sneak out and stroll around.
It was not because he wanted to enjoy the scenery, but because he was observing the layout and the strength of the staff in the palace. He wanted to know the progress of the Thunder Army's plan.
There were many masters in the palace. Fade explored everywhere possible. In the end, he unconsciously walked into a gorgeous field of flowers.
"Hey, be careful. Do not step on my flowers!"
A delicate and slightly anxious voice suddenly sounded behind Fade.
