Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1022 - 1020: Only In This Way (1 more)

"Princess, it’s true that Su Chen is in secluded cultivation. The challenge day previously agreed upon with Fierce Domain is not today but three days from now. I humbly ask the Beast Emperor and Princess to remain calm and wait patiently." The next moment, Sheng Yingkun stepped forward, bracing himself with a resolve to die, and spoke.

"Hmph." Di Qiong snorted, her displeasure even more evident. Still, she refrained from taking action and instead looked at her imperial father. "Imperial Father, should Qiong’er eliminate this Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect first?"

"Wait." Beast Emperor Di Qing uttered just one word: "Three days isn’t a long time. However, if Su Chen does not appear after three days, this emperor will take it as him trifling with Fierce Domain. At that time, I guarantee to paint the land with blood for a thousand miles, irrigating the earth with the inferior blood of humans."

"Thank you, Beast Emperor, and Princess Your Highness." Sheng Yingkun and the others heaved a slight sigh of relief, but their hearts remained chilled to the core. After all, three days later might very well be the end of days!

Subsequently, under the arrangements of Sheng Yingkun, Yuu Tianyi, and others, the Beast Emperor’s group took up residence within the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.

It took nearly half a day to barely settle the arrangements, during which Di Qiong frequently humiliated Sheng Yingkun and the others with mocking words.

"Moku went to deliver news to Fierce Domain but hasn’t returned with them. He is most likely already dead at the hands of the Beast Emperor." After the arrangements, Sheng Yingkun and the others urgently gathered in the grand hall for a discussion.

Hearing this, Dong Shenxu, Moku’s only son, first furrowed his brow slightly, then a glint of icy light flashed in his eyes.

"Dong Shenxu, if your father truly died in Fierce Domain, you mustn’t think of revenge. Don’t throw your life away—at least not for now," Sheng Yingkun said, giving Dong Shenxu a deep glance, his tone solemn.

Others such as Wan Tonghai and Zhang Danhe nodded emphatically in agreement.

Elderly Hun Qing added, "The Purple Spirit Sun Rising phenomenon seems to have a grander impact on Fierce Domain compared to Buddha Domain. Fierce Domain was already stronger than Buddha Domain, and now the gap is even larger."

"Especially the Beast Emperor. If I’m not mistaken, though he was strong before, he was only at about the Eighth Layer of the Ancestral Saint Realm. But now..." Star Master murmured, his voice carrying traces of bitter laughter and despair, "The Beast Emperor alone might annihilate all of Buddha Domain’s top-level experts. Not to mention, he’s brought over a hundred Demon Beasts at the Origin Domination Realm or higher, as well as his younger daughter, Di Qiong."

Wan Tonghai abruptly raised his head. "Brother Sheng, the situation is far worse than we anticipated. Originally, Young Master Su challenged Fierce Domain’s strongest to claim their domain. But now... Young Master Su has grossly underestimated the terror of Fierce Domain’s powerhouses, and so have we. If nothing unexpected happens, in three days’ time, Young Master Su is far more likely to lose than win. I believe we should stop this confrontation."

The moment Wan Tonghai spoke, the grand hall exploded with objections.

Whether it was Xuu Chi, Wei Ding, Ji Yueqing, Elderly Hun Qing, Star Master, or anyone else, they all emphatically shook their heads and glared at Wan Tonghai, exclaiming:

"Absolutely not!"

"Stop the confrontation? The Beast Emperor’s fury will drown the land in blood."

"The Beast Emperor has already spoken: if Su Chen doesn’t appear in three days, he will bathe Buddha Domain in blood."

"The challenge was initiated by Young Master Su."

......

"What I mean is that knowingly sending Young Master Su to his death, given the overwhelming likelihood of defeat, is an incredibly unwise choice. After all, Young Master Su is crucial for both Buddha Domain and, more broadly, the survival of humanity across Divine Martial Continent. In a future confrontation against the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race, when the fate of Divine Martial Continent hangs in the balance, Young Master Su will be a leader and standard-bearer. He cannot die—not now, at least." Wan Tonghai spoke gravely, his voice weighed with intense seriousness.

As Wan Tonghai laid out his reasoning, the uproar in the hall subsided somewhat.

Many people’s gazes flickered as they fell into deep thought.

After a long silence.

"Brother Wan, if we truly prevent Su Chen from battling Fierce Domain’s strongest Demon Beast, how will we deal with the Beast Emperor’s threat to bathe Buddha Domain in blood three days later?" Sheng Yingkun finally broke the silence. He was already beginning to lean towards canceling the confrontation.

"We can secretly dispatch some of humanity’s top experts to Fierce Domain. Right now, almost all of Fierce Domain’s strongest Demon Beasts, including the Beast Emperor, are here in Buddha Domain. This is when Fierce Domain is at its weakest. We might have a chance to take down Fierce Domain. If we successfully claim Fierce Domain, we can use it to threaten the Beast Emperor. If he dares to bathe Buddha Domain in blood, we will do the same to Fierce Domain," Wan Tonghai said quietly. "If everything goes smoothly and fortune is on our side, Buddha Domain might even eradicate Fierce Domain in one stroke."

The atmosphere in the hall grew strange and intense.

Many looked at Wan Tonghai in shock, stunned by his daring proposal.

To take advantage of the Beast Emperor’s visit to the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect in Buddha Domain, launch a counterattack on Fierce Domain, seize it, and then use it to threaten the Beast Emperor. It was shameless but ingenious.

"It might actually work," Elderly Hun Qing remarked coolly. "However, the risks are immense. If we fail, then..."

Then, the kingdoms of Buddha Domain and Fierce Domain would enter a true life-and-death war, rather than the tense standoff that had persisted for the past tens of thousands of years.

"How can we be sure all of Fierce Domain’s strongest have come here? What if the Beast Emperor, out of foresight or caution, deliberately left some powerful Demon Beasts to guard Fierce Domain? If we send forces there but fail to take the domain, we can all imagine the consequences." Star Master voiced his concern. "It’s a possibility."

"This..." Wan Tonghai frowned. The Beast Emperor had brought over a hundred of their top-level Demon Beasts, and logically speaking, Fierce Domain could scarcely maintain other top-level powerhouses.

But nothing could be absolutely certain. What if? What if the strongest Demon Beasts visiting Buddha Domain were not all of them?

"Su Chen!!! Let Su Chen go to Fierce Domain! Su Chen may not be a match for the Beast Emperor or the princess, but he should be able to handle the other top Demon Beasts in Fierce Domain, right?" Ji Yueqing suddenly suggested. "If absolutely necessary, we can all head to Fierce Domain as well to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Ji Yueqing’s proposal made everyone’s eyes light up in realization.

Yes!

There’s still Su Chen!

If Su Chen won’t be joining the decisive battle three days from now...

He can go to Fierce Domain. With Su Chen present, even if some of Fierce Domain’s top Demon Beasts remain, they won’t stand a chance.

"Great idea." Sheng Yingkun shot Ji Yueqing a look of approval. "It’s settled."

"Then we must act quickly and inform Su Chen right away," Yuu Tianyi added.
