Chapter 719: Admonishment About Peril
Cang Xu entered into the Divine Domain Descent spell summoning space and converged with the dragonman youngster.
“Cang Xu, I didn’t expect to meet back together so quickly, and in the Ice Sculpture Capital!” The dragonman youngster was both startled and delighted, he broke out into a chortle and patted Cang Xu’s shoulders, sincerely glad to see him again.
“Lord Commander.” Cang Xu bowed deferentially to the dragonman youngster, as if he was a steward attending to his feudal lord.
His tone was steady, “I also didn’t foresee that this was how we would meet again. Teacher Si Ling must have come here with an immense conspiracy.”
At the time, when Cang Xu followed Teacher Si Ling, he planned on proactively approaching the Undead Orthodoxy and actively developed a relationship with them, it was undoubtedly beneficial to the survivors.
Zi Di interjected, “Cang Xu has a mission, he wants to participate in the Warm Snow Cup’s exam, he said he can help through necromancy methods to pass the second exam together.”
The dragonman youngster was inevitably worried, “Is that too much of a risk, if an undead aura is exposed…”
Cang Xu waved his hand, “Let’s not speak of this first, whether or not we can get through the second exam, is not the most important thing at the moment. I came to urgently meet you Commander because I am very worried about my corps’ situation.”
The dragonman youngster stared at him, not quite understanding what Cang Xu was saying.
Because since he returned, he wasn’t just sailing smoothly, he was making headway time and again.
He first deceived the Li Jian Clan, making a comeback for Zi Di and Zong Ge. Then in Snow Bird Harbor, he played with both sides to achieve complete control over the situation. Then he subdued Cong Mang, made arrangements for the big guy and the others, having them lying low and gathering pirates as external assistance. As for the Snow Bird Harbor branch, he also put into place proper plans, actively supporting military training and placing Hun Tong there as insurance.
He even defeated Mi Fang recently, and unexpectedly obtained Long Meng’s teachings, it could be said he was making fine progress through his methodical arrangements. But when he heard Cang Xu’s worries, it seemed there was some significant concealed danger?
The dragonman youngster knew Cang Xu’s abilities and carefully inquired about it at once.
Cang Xu shook his head and sighed, “Lord Commander, you shouldn’t have exposed your saint level qualifications.”
“Think about what the big guy experienced.”
“During the eating contest, the big guy showed signs of it, and Da Dou immediately kidnapped him. Tripleblade and the others tried to search and rescue him, then as Shuang Lian was nosing about, all powers were acting against the big guy. The big guy then was only iron level, and was greatly coveted by all”
“And now, your Lordship has exposed your saint level qualifications, that is the greatest source of risk!”
The dragonman youngster couldn’t speak for a moment.
Cang Xu sighed, sincerely admonishing him, “Lord Commander, you seem to underestimate the influence of saint levels too much, even if one is a saint level seed!”
“Perhaps it is because nowadays you have plenty of god level bloodlines and possess a god level aptitude. To you, you just exposed a bit of your talent, and since it isn’t the legend level, you should be safe and sound.”
“But reality isn’t like that.”
“A saint level is enormously impactful! In the Ice Sculpture Kingdom there are only three saint levels. Da Han, that saint level pirate, was able to throw the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s seaboard into complete confusion.”
“This is the world of the strong!”
“Even if you aren’t one now, with your aptitude, after growing, you are bound to be a key figure that affects the big picture. I would like to ask how the other saint levels might act?”
“The reason why the current situation is tranquil is mainly because we still have the pretense of arms merchants. But this skin that could intimidate other powers will only be effective temporarily.”
“The reason why they haven’t acted is because the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is facing Da Han. They don’t have the energy to attend to us for the time being.”
The dragonman youngster blushed with shame.
He bowed his head and told the truth. He had revealed a legend level aptitude.
Cang stared blankly.
The young man then informed him of the details, it was in the Snow Bird Harbor battle, his main goal was to awe and subdue Hun Tong.
Cang Xu was dumbfounded.
After a moment, he gave a long sigh, “Lord Commander, the risks here are too immense.”
“Since this has already happened, we have to strictly control the risks. We have to do our best to tie Hun Tong to our side, and monitor him at all times, where is he right now?”
The dragonman youngster replied, “Snow Bird Harbor.”
Cang Xu: …
The dragonman youngster then told him why he arranged things like this.
Cang Xu was dumbfounded again.
After a moment, he still encouraged and consoled the dragonman youngster, “Lord Commander, you can now analyze and exploit human nature, that is enormous progress.”
“You were just missing the big picture for the details this time.”
Zi Di couldn’t help but retort, “Isn’t Long Meng a saint level seed? Why isn’t he being targeted?”
Zi Di had never felt that the dragonman youngster exposing his saint level aptitude was the wrong decision. Seeing her beloved being criticized stirred her to subconsciously defend him out of love.
Cang Xu answered, “According to my analysis, Long Meng has a powerful backer. He has never admitted to possessing saint level qualifications, that is just the popular conjecture. He never publicly did what the commander did with his ‘vast amount of enhancement spells’, that was obviously overstepping the proper boundaries.”
“Generally speaking, saint level seeds are strictly defended by all forces. When a saint level is cultivated, they will undoubtedly break the equilibrium of a region.”
“However, it is also because of this that during the duel, Mi Fang judged wrong, he fought very conservatively, allowing the Commander to effortlessly win.”
Cang Xu looked at a magic image showing the duel.
After saying that, the old magician looked solemnly at Zi Di.
“Miss Zi Di, you shouldn’t be blind to the hidden dangers here. You came from an exceptional background and have a vast scope of view.”
“Don’t let love blind you.”
“In your subconsciousness, did you not hope to see your sweetheart display his splendor and ammas more accomplishments?”
“However, pushing himself into the limelight has instead harmed him.”
Zi Di’s heart shook greatly.
Cang Xu continued, “Now that the Lord Commander has publicly exposed a saint level disposition, targeting and ganging up will surely follow at his heels.”
“Before, we could depend on our fabricated arms dealer patron to cleverly intimidate many outsider forces. But now that the Lord Commander already represents a future saint level, what will all these powers think?”
“The Lord Commander’s name is famous nationwide, my corps’ magic medicine business is also flourishing, the corps is making triumphant progress and earning a fortune every day.”
“This ambitious and pushing stance clearly wants to mettle in the three saint level structure here, turning it into a contest between four.”
“Are you saying the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s three saint levels are going to watch and allow us to grow?”
“We should thank Da Han. The reason the three saint levels haven’t immediately acted and spied on my corps is because of the external pressure Da Han is producing.”
“But after this clash, when they are free to make a move, what will we experience?”
Cang Xu added, “This time, what’s the reason why Mian Li Zang could easily convince the Jing Xiang Clan to work together, along with being able to borrow the Alchemy Guild’s Hua Ni’s power to eliminate us from the Warm Snow Cup? It is precisely the immense pressure saint level potentials brings.”
“The three parties were once competitors, but they united as a result of this. However, this is only a small part of the response that awaits us in the future.”
Zi Di took a deep breath, her heart pervading with a chill.
She sank into self-blame, why hadn’t she been able to see this mistake, she never even considered it.
She reflected on herself, and found that love had muddled her brain, the dragonman youngster’s return allowed her to wallow in a feeling of happiness.
At the same time, she had become negligent from little victories, she wanted to forge further ahead and constantly gain more. Her attention was on the Warm Snow Cup, where she wanted to do better, or even the best.
Her actions were like her business, constant expansion.
Successes one after another without a hitch caused her to forget to pay attention to what was under her, and gradually overlook risks.
Now that Cang Xu had brought up this point to her, when she thought back, cold sweat appeared all over.
The dragonman youngster couldn’t bear to see Zi Di flagellate herself, so he defended, “Don’t blame her, this was what I advocated for.”
“Cang Xu, after you and I parted ways, you were unaware of what happened to me. During that time, something major occurred.”
At once, the dragonman youngster spoke of his experience, recounting Charming Blue’s divine oracle of the Dueling Godhead in detail to Cang Xu.
Cang Xu was startled, “The Dueling Godhead?!”
