Chen Nan's teeth itched with anger.
It wasn't jealousy.
He just felt this rabbit was too insidious!
He wouldn't allow anyone around him to be more insidious than himself!
Ox God whispered, "Senior, the moment the Twelve Beast Gods gained their divine positions, we lost the ability to reproduce. You don't need to worry about this mad rabbit and Miss Xuan having anything happen."
"Moreover, Miss Xuan is acting this way simply to provoke you."
"Frankly, she's using this mad rabbit to make you feel a sense of crisis."
Chen Nan's eyes were full of displeasure.
Although he knew this mad rabbit wouldn't cause much trouble.
Seeing the mad rabbit nestled in Xuan Qingniao's arms still made him feel uneasy.
"I remember there's a Forget-Sorrow Grass in the divine realm that can make people forget all their worries. If we can find the Forget-Sorrow Grass, perhaps it can help this mad rabbit return to normal," Feng Jiu said.
Ox God nodded slightly, "There is indeed such a divine medicine, but no one knows its whereabouts."
Feng Jiu said, "The Azure Dragon tribe is most familiar with the Triple Heaven. We can try our luck there."
Chen Nan looked at the marker on the map and said, "The Azure Dragon tribe is also on our way, but to reach it directly, we need to cross Mount Nirvana."
"This is also one of the strongholds of the异魔 (Yi Mo - Alien Demons) in the Triple Heaven!"
"Although we can take a detour, if the 异魔 discover our presence, we will be attacked from the front and back."
"Therefore, we must eliminate Mount Nirvana to prevent being sandwiched by the 异魔."
Ox God said, "The forces of Mount Nirvana are stronger than Phoenix Ridge. It is said there are nearly a million 异魔 experts in the Divine Venerable realm."
Chen Nan's expression was solemn.
Although he had single-handedly challenged Phoenix Ridge before.
Mount Nirvana was even more powerful than Phoenix Ridge.
Moreover.
He was no longer alone.
He couldn't act as freely as before.
He had to consider the lives of these people.
The rabbit said, "My Rabbit Mountain also has a million subjects who can be dispatched."
The Nine-Headed Fire Lion was astonished, "A million subjects? That's impressive?"
Chen Nan said, "If Rabbit Mountain didn't have so many subjects, how could Old Ox eat three a day?"
Ox God was extremely embarrassed, "Can we ever get past the matter of eating three a day?"
Chen Nan changed the subject, "What is the leader of Mount Nirvana called? How strong is he?"
Ox God said, "The leader of Mount Nirvana seems to be called Wu Suo, possessing strength comparable to the Upper Divine Venerable realm. He is one of the nine commanders under the demon king of the Ten Thousand Demon Caves."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, then looked at the map, "Why did the 异魔 occupy Mount Nirvana?"
He knew the 异魔 occupied Phoenix Ridge.
It was to block the Phoenix tribe and for the Phoenix Grass.
But he didn't know why they occupied Mount Nirvana.
Ox God explained, "To the south of Mount Nirvana lies a large divine stone mine. The 异魔 occupy this place to mine that divine stone mine. It is said they can also absorb the divine power within the divine stones to improve their cultivation."
Chen Nan asked, "Are there many 异魔 guarding the divine stone mine?"
The rabbit said in a childlike voice, "I went there once. There are at least three hundred thousand Divine Venerable realm 异魔, and countless ordinary 异魔."
Chen Nan looked at Ox God and the rabbit, "Can your two forces combined capture this divine stone mine?"
Ox God replied, "We should be able to."
"But we're afraid Mount Nirvana will send reinforcements."
It wouldn't be difficult for the two forces to jointly occupy the divine stone mine.
But the problem was that the divine stone mine was only ten thousand li away from Mount Nirvana.
If the 异魔 sent troops to reinforce.
Even they were not confident of a full retreat.
Chen Nan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, Ox Cave and Rabbit Mountain will attack the divine stone mine, and I will lead the people of the Phoenix tribe to attack Mount Nirvana."
Feng Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Holy Lord, do you plan to feint in one direction while attacking in another, to take Mount Nirvana in one fell swoop when Mount Nirvana sends people to reinforce?"
Chen Nan said, "The 异魔's numerical advantage is something we cannot match. Even if all the humans and demons in the Triple Heaven gather together, they will not be as numerous as the 异魔 in Mount Nirvana."
"So."
"If we want to achieve victory, we cannot confront them head-on."
He then pointed to his head, "We must rely on this!"
"And!"
"After capturing the divine stone mine, collect the divine stones. I have great use for them."
He was skilled at formations.
But divine stones were scarce in the divine realm.
If there were a large number of divine stones, this battle against the 异魔 would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Holy Lord, it would be best to deploy this matter meticulously," Feng Jiu said. "You just destroyed Hatu of Phoenix Ridge. This news will surely reach Wu Suo. Although the 异魔's intelligence is low, the nine commanders under the demon king are all very smart."
"If we launch a rash attack, we might fall into their trap."
Xuan Qingniao also said, "Indeed, we should not underestimate the 异魔."
Chen Nan took a sip of wine and said, "Since that's the case, then let's attack Mount Nirvana directly!"
???
???
???
Everyone looked at him with incredulous expressions.
Can you stop being so reckless?
Xuan Qingniao said even more, "Is your head full of water? Mount Nirvana has more 异魔 than the divine stone mine. Have you considered the danger we will face by rashly attacking Mount Nirvana?"
"You don't understand anything," Chen Nan rolled his eyes at her, then said, "If Wu Suo truly knows about Phoenix Ridge, he will definitely guess that I'm after the divine stone mine."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will dispatch a large number of 异魔, and even personally oversee the divine stone mine."
"Attacking Mount Nirvana at this time is precisely an opportunity to exploit a weakness."
"Because he would never imagine that we would directly attack Mount Nirvana."
"He wouldn't think we'd have such courage when we are the weaker party against a stronger enemy."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "For this mission, the experts of the Phoenix tribe will suffice to follow me. The experts from Ox Cave and Rabbit Mountain will hide near the divine stone mine. After the 异魔 army leaves, we will take it down in one go."
"Mount Nirvana is mine."
"The divine stone mine is also mine."
Xuan Qingniao stared blankly at Chen Nan, not expecting him to have such great ambition. Snapping back to reality, she couldn't help but ask, "Will the 异魔 really hoard troops at the divine stone mine as you say?"
"Aren't you afraid of any unexpected developments?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Warfare is a stratagem!"
"I don't believe the 异魔 understand military strategy!"
"This time, let's see how I handle them!"
------
Mount Nirvana.
Wu Suo was lazily lying on a chair, drinking wine.
"Commander, something's happened!" a subordinate rushed in, flustered and panting, "Some brothers from Phoenix Ridge have come to our tribe, saying they have something important to tell us!"
Wu Suo slowly sat up, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, "Hatu, that scoundrel, has always been against me. What could he possibly have to say by sending someone?"
"I guessed it wouldn't be anything good!"
The subordinate said nervously, "Leader Hatu... is dead!"
Wu Suo abruptly stood up, ecstatic, "Such good news?"
