A remark that he disliked the islanders, which directly stunned Chen Pingfan.
At this moment, he even felt that all his previous thrilling adventures were just a joke.
"You, how could you do this!"
Chen Pingfan was suddenly on the verge of tears. At this moment, he really wanted to cry. He completely felt like Li Chonglou's tool.
Li Chonglou laughed heartily: "I was just kidding."
Then he straightened his expression.
"Although our ultimate goal is to get rid of the people from Heilim, it is naturally impossible with just you and me."
"Did you think I was talking about the islanders when I said using a borrowed knife to kill?"
"Mmm?"
Chen Pingfan suddenly reacted and was greatly shocked: "Brother Li, is this a plan within a plan?"
Yes, it was a plan within a plan.
It seemed like he was borrowing Heilim's knife to kill the new big boss from the island country, but in reality, it was to escalate the conflict between the two, and in the end, he still wanted to use the island country's knife to deal with Heilim.
This was Li Chonglou's true purpose!
"But, didn't we have a chance to act directly before?"
Chen Pingfan recalled that when they were in Heilim, the three of them clearly had the opportunity to kill Ying Mao directly. If it weren't for the subsequent performance!
If the two of them had chased after him, although there would have been some risks, it was clearly much less risky than impersonating a subordinate major general in front of dozens of experts at the realm!
Li Chonglou shook his head: "It's different. According to your idea, we would at most have dealt with one of them, and we would still need to continue dealing with the rest. This would require more manpower, and even the cooperation of Wudi and the General Bureau to launch a full-scale attack."
"But do you think the island country will honestly stand by and watch?"
He hit the nail on the head.
Only then did Chen Pingfan realize.
Looking back again, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
This plan was played out too beautifully. Although it involved quite a bit of risk, the result was even better than expected!
Now that the island country had lost a major figure, the conflict was directly directed at Heilim. At this time, their General Bureau had become the one standing by and watching.
In other words.
"Then do we need to go back and unite them now?"
"Yes and no."
Li Chonglou's answer made Chen Pingfan frown, but Li Chonglou did not explain. Instead, he returned to the General Bureau's camp with him.
Time had already reached late at night.
Normally, at this time, everyone should be quiet, patrolling, guarding, or resting.
But the reality was that the lights were brightly lit.
The islanders quickly discovered the inexplicable disappearance of the subordinate major general. It was unclear whether it was due to his unusual status or the swift reaction of his superiors.
Within half an hour, they had decided to launch a full mobilization to attack Heilim.
Dozens of experts at the realm, along with several armed troops, tore through Heilim's defenses like a wild beast!
For a time, gunfire, explosions, and spiritual energy fluctuations echoed across the sky!
And Heilim paid a heavy price for its hesitation.
Because they thought that neither the island country nor the General Bureau would launch a full-scale attack so quickly, the Blood Hand and others intended to wait for the reinforcements sent by the General Bureau to leave before making further plans.
Therefore, almost all the experts were gathered in the hiding place, leaving the defense of the outer perimeter to disciples with lower strength and some ordinary guards!
Their defensive setup was indeed perfect. As long as one did not receive inside information, or had an external cheat like Li Chonglou, it would be impossible to sneak into their hiding place without making a sound!
But in this way, their defenses were insignificant compared to the forces sent by the island country!
From the launch of the full-scale attack to the surrounding of the hiding place, it took less than ten minutes.
Under the Heilim hiding place.
"Old Cat! What the hell are you doing!"
The Blood Hand pointed at Ying Mao's nose and cursed furiously. The latter's face was gloomy.
"I think I've been tricked! It must be a scheme by the General Bureau!"
At this moment, Ying Mao had truly realized what was happening. His life-saving treasures were inexplicably disabled, and two blindfolded people inexplicably killed the subordinate major general.
Wasn't this clearly shifting the blame onto him?
However, the Blood Hand did not want to hear any explanation at this moment. The attacking experts outside were only inquiring about the subordinate major general's whereabouts. He could only urge Ying Mao.
"They are here for him! Where did you hide him? Even if you kill him, you have to hand over the body!"
The Blood Hand grabbed Ying Mao's shoulder tightly, and the latter directly pushed him away.
"Old Blood, don't you understand yet! The person died on their side, and the body must also be there. They are just looking for an excuse to eliminate us!"
If anyone was feeling wronged, it was probably Ying Mao at this moment. He was the victim, and he was full of anger!
Yet, in the end, he had to bear such a heavy burden.
A murderous intent flashed in the Blood Hand's eyes. Lan Jing, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly stepped forward to mediate.
"Old Blood, calm down. Now is not the time for infighting. Let's solve the current predicament first."
Ying Mao also felt that the Blood Hand's emotions were not right. He swallowed nervously and added, "Old Blood, I will give you an explanation after this is over. For now, let's think about how to deal with them."
Boom!
Another violent explosion sounded from outside.
The lamps hanging above everyone's heads were constantly swaying. The only good news for them now was that this hiding place was built with special materials.
Before that, it was the General Bureau's military arsenal, and its defensive capabilities were second to none.
Coupled with the long and narrow entrance, only a few experts were needed to block the enemy's attack, so they were safe for the time being.
But it was only for the time being. Even the strongest defenses could not withstand the continuous bombardment of dozens of experts!
The Blood Hand suppressed his anger and said solemnly, "We now have two options: first, to seek peace."
As he said the word "seek peace," the Blood Hand's gaze fixed on Ying Mao. Lan Jing also suddenly moved aside, and the two of them formed a pincer formation against Ying Mao.
The latter's expression changed drastically.
"Old Blood! Don't you understand yet? Even if I offer my head, they won't let you go! Who would fear a tiger that has lost a leg?"
The Blood Hand's expression flickered, and then he said, "Then we can only fight."
"However, we now need a pathfinder, otherwise, if we are trapped here like turtles being beaten, we will eventually run out of people!"
Ying Mao instantly understood what he meant and couldn't help but grit his teeth and nod, "I will be the pathfinder!"
"Good! Without further ado, call everyone over for a meeting!"
In less than a minute, all the experts from Heilim had gathered in the only hall underground in the hiding place.
The number was not small. There were more than twenty people at the fifth realm, and even more below the fifth realm.
The Blood Hand summoned everyone and gave only two instructions.
