Chapter 905: Chapter 720: Butcher Blacksmith Level 27

As Qin An finished speaking, Emperor Xuanwu fell into deep thought. It took a whole incense stick’s time before he finally came to his senses and exhaled deeply.

Emperor Xuanwu furrowed his brows, lightly tapping his fingertips on the table, and said slowly, "According to your suggestion, we can treat this crack as a trap to continuously lure Heavenly Demons inside, and then eliminate them one by one."

"This way, our national power can handle individual Heavenly Demons and cause them to die slowly, avoiding a scenario where they all appear at once. But is this method truly viable?"

Qin An had just explained this method.

The crack has always existed and could potentially allow Heavenly Demons to descend.

Rather than let it become an unknown threat, it’s better to find a way to make it a controllable factor, keeping everything in our hands.

The specific method of control is precisely as Emperor Xuanwu described.

Deploy a large force to guard the crack, secretly enlarge it a bit more so that when the Heavenly Demons discover it, they enter one by one, and then use thunderous means to eliminate them.

This way, not only can we prevent the demons from appearing together, but we can also completely slaughter them.

In Emperor Xuanwu’s view, this method is feasible, but the specific operation needs careful consideration.

The most important thing is, to what extent should the crack be opened to allow the demons to enter individually rather than all at once.

How powerful will the demons be when they appear, and whether we can handle them are crucial factors that relate to the fate of the Daqian Kingdom and must not be taken lightly.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu’s serious attitude is quite normal.

Qin An thought for a moment and said, "Currently, this is the only method. Rather than letting the crack become a dangerous uncontrollable factor, it’s better to turn it into something we can utilize."

"As for the extent of opening the crack, we can observe for a period. If demons come out during this time, it proves the crack is sufficient for now, and there’s no need to expand it; if no demons appear, it suggests that they can’t break through from the outside yet, so we can expand it a little."

"Of course, expanding the crack isn’t something I can do alone. It requires Your Majesty and me to join forces to open a channel allowing more demons to enter."

"We’ll ambush outside the channel, kill all demons appearing. This way, the more demons come, the more experienced and confident we become in dealing with them."

At this point, Qin An said no more.

It’s a good strategy, but everyone knows the risks involved; he was waiting for Emperor Xuanwu’s decision.

If Emperor Xuanwu is willing, he will take action together, becoming bait for the ambush to lure the demons in.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Xuanwu raised his head and asked, "How long do you think we’ll need to observe whether Heavenly Demons descend?"

Qin An raised a finger, "A month’s time is sufficient. Among those demons, they lost a Mechanical Emperor, who could not have been unnoticed; they will certainly investigate the whereabouts of the Mechanical Emperor, and it’s easy for them to find that the Mechanical Emperor came to our world."

"Once they find out, they’ll become anxious to enter here. If no demons descend within a month, it proves they cannot break the crack from outside, so we’ll act from inside. This month is also the time we have to plan."

With that, Qin An put his hand down.

He knows Emperor Xuanwu has already agreed to act according to the plan.

Given this, there’s no need to say more.

He planned to return immediately, utilizing the tenfold proficiency bonus to first upgrade the Butcher and Blacksmith professions to a transformative level, thus gaining the Power of Attack at the Celestial Human Realm, capable of battling with Heavenly Demons at that realm.

Instead of relying on Dragon Vein powers as before to deal with the Mechanical Emperor.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded, waving his sleeve and saying, "Fine! Hesitation leads to chaos. Since the plan is feasible, execute it accordingly. I will immediately dispatch a large number of Manifest Saint Realm experts to the crack for observation. Any anomaly should be reported to the Imperial Palace at once, and I will immediately join you in striking down the demons."

"If no demons appear, later we will collaborate, leading Manifest Saint Realm experts to open the crack from the inside; the external barrier is solid while internal destruction will be much simpler."

Seeing Emperor Xuanwu’s agreement, Qin An stood and said, "In that case, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Emperor Xuanwu did not retain him, allowing Qin An to depart.

After Qin An left, silence fell over the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanwu watched the shadow cast on the ground, took a deep breath.

"Events unfolded faster than expected, but fortunately, they were within anticipation. What’s next is how Qin An and I cooperate to slay those demons in the cradle."

Then, Emperor Xuanwu stopped dwelling on it, extinguished the oil lamp on the table, and retired early.

...

Time passed, and quickly a month was gone.

During this month, the Daqian Kingdom remained as quiet as usual.

Without Forbidden Areas, without worries of Demon Pseudo-Gods, every cultivator began crazily enhancing their strength.

As they elevated their strength, the national power of the entire Daqian Kingdom skyrocketed at a visible rate.

More and more experts surprisingly broke through to the Manifest Saint Realm together.

Although only barely reaching the Manifest Saint Realm, each expert possessed extremely strong power, indeed one of the top forces in the Daqian Kingdom.

The previous Daqian Kingdom was somewhat inferior compared to the former dynasty, but now, due to various actions and the crazy increase in national power, the present Daqian Kingdom is far stronger than the former dynasty.
