Chapter 1669: Chapter 847: Worthy of Death a Thousand Times Over (Part 2)

He paused for a moment, then continued to explain.

"The Life and Death Arena at Broken Soul Cliff, I must go.

Moreover, I want to openly and honestly slay Xiao Beixuan in front of everyone.

The Life and Death Arena under the supervision of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, with its strict rules, can limit his use of certain sinister and forbidden means to the greatest extent, at the very least disabling one of his arms.

But Xiao Beixuan is inherently cunning and suspicious, he will never easily leave his lair to personally come to the Southern Border to intercept and kill me."

"So, you deliberately exposed your whereabouts and made a big fuss to..."

Situ Qingfeng seemed to have understood something.

"It’s to make him think that all my energy is in the Southern Border, focused on dealing with his interception and finding the Relic."

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"In this way, his attention to Great Wilderness City will naturally weaken. Only then can my real plans be quietly set in motion.

Simply put, I want him to think he’s figured out my movements, but in reality, my target has never only been the Southern Border, but more importantly, the battle half a month later on Broken Soul Cliff in Great Wilderness City! By diverting his and his allies’ attention, our operations in Great Wilderness City can proceed more smoothly."

After listening, Situ Qingfeng suddenly understood, looking at Gu Sheng with eyes full of admiration.

"I see! Gu’s deep foresight is impressive! It was my oversight."

Gu Sheng stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the desolate and chaotic scene of the frontier town outside. His tone turned cold again.

"Since he has sent people here, we might as well collect some interest on the Southern Border road. Now that the news is out, we only need to ’wait’."

Situ Qingfeng walked beside him, his brows furrowed, still with worry.

"Gu, I still think this move is too risky.

Xiao Beixuan is insidious and cunning, if he really goes all out to intercept and kill us, we may find it hard to cope.

Furthermore, will he truly abide by the rules and fight you fairly in the Life and Death Arena half a month later? I always feel he won’t be that honest."

Gu Sheng’s gaze was still out the window, as if he could penetrate the void and see his opponent far away in Great Wilderness City. "Fair?"

A faintly cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Beixuan will naturally not bind his own hands for a duel with me.

A man as clever as he is best at using any means outside the rules to create an absolutely favorable situation for himself."

He turned around, looking at Situ Qingfeng, his eyes deep as the starlit night.

"Precisely because he is a clever man, when I actively expose my whereabouts and make a grand spectacle inviting his interception, he will instead become suspicious, thinking it is yet another trap I set.

He will ostensibly send people to intercept, but his real focus must be on deploying in Great Wilderness City, attempting to, before the Life and Death Arena, use various off-the-record moves, like targeting my associates, disrupting my setups, or finding a counteractive Treasure against me, to weaken me and ensure foolproof victory in the arena."

"So you think the ones he sent to the Southern Border are not his main force?"

Situ Qingfeng began to understand a bit.

"Main force? Perhaps, but certainly not his core forces, more likely some probing pawns, or... local forces in Southern Border colluding with him."

Gu Sheng’s tone was determined.

"He sees three steps ahead; I naturally need to see a few more steps than that.

I have already preemptively addressed potential deployments he might have in Great Wilderness City.

He wants to use the Southern Border affair to distract me, I can also turn his own strategy back on him."

Situ Qingfeng pondered for a while, then proposed another possibility.
