The data from the nanobots was tuned into a hologram and gradually it began to spread around. The picture was crystal clear and Shi Lang said, "This looks interesting."
The expert from the Solaris race was standing next to him, and asked, "What do you an?"
Shi Lang said, "It seems to that it is not the entire race that has been enslaved. So people managed to get away."
Then the picture shifted and they saw a small faction, around five hundred people were living in an underground cave. While the people marveled at the fact that Shi Lang managed to detect these people, so were rather kin to find out the exact capabilities of those nanobots. This was a proper war tool.
Shi Lang sighed and looked at so faces around him and said, "You guys, do you know how long it took to refine this thing? Can you stop ogling at my treasures as if you want to swallow them whole."
The conversation went back on the topic, the man from the Solaris race asked, "Why let them go? Could it be their number?"
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I don’t see any other reason why an almighty envoy would leave people alone, apart from laying down a trap."
The people raised their brows, and Shi Lang said, "Kal-E knows that we have been making moves, thankfully our cards were hidden with the barrier of the temple of the five elents. Otherwise, he would not have tried sothing like this to probe us. So now, we have two options."
Naomi asked, "What two options?"
They were all curious, and Shi Lang said, "As long as it is just this realm, we can avoid taking imdiate action, and let Kal-E hang on the hook, thinking if we are really doing sothing under the shadows."
The people nodded, and Nishan said, "Indeed, if we act against an envoy, we would be confirming his doubts and then he would take action against us one by one openly. Even if we stop bothering with his summons and not give him the chance to use the power of the world consciousness, it would be a bitter struggle."
This thought was obvious to everyone and then soone from the Warring Wolves race asked, "What is the second option that you propose? If it is just attacking them head on, then the situation would beco into what we cannot handle at the mont."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "The second option is to play with Kal-E. Does he not cherish himself as the strongest existence in the world? Then why not give him a taste of his own dicine? Soone with a simple image but a great diplomatic talent go to him, and ask him to facilitate trade with the Lunar Sword Slaves."
The idea was proposed at the people were shocked, Shi Lang said, "Before you all even try to entertain the thoughts like this, take oaths and also implant the people with mory seals. The person who is to step up must not know anything about the plan. Even if Kal-E wants to use his powers to look into their minds, let him look but not find anything."
The expert of the Solaris race sighed and said, "Human, I am scared of how crafty you are."
Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Brother, you flatter too much. I am not doing this for fun but for necessity. And mind you all, I am not the one who started this thing. Heck, I don’t even care about the rank on the list. Emotion of desire and wishes are the biggest limitation for the human race, and so I have worked hard to calm them all down and this is why I have been living low key. At this mont, my biggest wish is to live next to a river, in a log cabin with my wife, and kids. Well, let’s make it a log mansion, they are all big kids and want privacy."
The people have no idea what to say, this man who gave them chills with his killing intent just a few days ago is standing before them telling them how he doesn’t want to stand or pursue the peak of power was absurd but then again as he tagged his emotions as the limitation imposed on them by heavens, they believed it might be true because in the past the human race had saints and all of them were obliterated within a blink because they didn’t wish to be oppressed by Kal-E who had beco the realm lord at that ti.
An old man, who belonged to one of the wisest races of the Myriad realms, Tortoise Crown, said, "The second option is a better plan of action. This way, we will have a chance to find out what the Realm Lord is trying to do there. Also, if you all don’t mind, I would like to recomnd soone from the Sun Archer tribe to handle this. Soone who is not present and we will not tell him the exact reason. Nishan and everyone else who knows about this should go into seclusion in various other plains. They should not tell anyone where they are going apart from informing them about seclusion. That is all. The realm lord will not find anything about this and with just half the truth told, it would not contradict with the limitations of the Sun Archer Race."
The plan was brilliant, it had a very high chance of working and Shi Lang looked at the old man before he said, "Elder, you truly saved us just now. How about you take along the few other races who are blessed with a high intellect and try to co up with a long run strategy for the alliance to hide the moves we make and keep on track. At the sa ti, it will prevent people from suspecting ."
Shi Lang openly laid bare all the thoughts in his mind, and caused the people to wonder if this guy was a human or a Sun Archer in disguise. The people all nodded and then the old man was made deputy chief of strategy.
All it took him was a few hours to co up with a tailor-made plan and then he passed it on to Nishan. The only person who knew about the complete plan was Nishan now, and then he was told to leave and execute it quickly, Amare was posted beside him to prevent anyone from asking him questions that could expose them to the loop.
Shi Lang leaned back in the chair as he mused about what he should do now, and Feng Yun arrived all of a sudden. Her arrival was open and the people were shocked; they had no idea that a heavenly Dao Beast was involved in this whole thing. And the mont, Feng Yun approached Shi Lang, she said, "Lang, give up the chair, I am tired."
Shi Lang rolled his eyes at her and said, "It is who is tired of this whole Balance the Dao thing, Yun. You better not play weak before . You people really just abuse ."
The people almost fell on their knees thinking that Shi Lang was going to be beaten into at paste when they saw Feng Yun sigh and shake her head as she patted his head and said, "Awww, you poor kid."
Shi Lang snorted and turned his head away before he retorted softly, "You finally willing to admit that you are an old relic?"
Feng Yun’s lips twitched and she said, "Now I understand why Tian Long hates you so much."
Shi Lang scoffed and said, "That old lizard can be pissed, and he can cry, but he would not feel hate for . His wrinkly ass is alive because Daddy worked hard for it, or that dumbass would have long beco one with the dao."
The phoenix sighed, she knew that she could not win Shi Lang when it ca to talking shalessly, this guy would not even take a blink before he would revert to the stinky scavenging self.
Shi Lang asked, "Why did you co over though? Anything to worry about?"
Feng Yun shook her head and replied, "No, it is nothing that you should worry about, however, I just wanted to check if you are handling the burden just fine."
Shi Lang raised his chin and he said, "Who do you think I am, I have a capable bunch of friends here. Look, that is Old Sir Mana, he is the thinktank of the alliance now, and beside him is Maiden Blood Moon, her na is kind of nacing but she is the sovereign of the Scarlet Fox race and her brain works ten tis quicker when it cos to tricking soone..."
Shi Lang introduced everyone one by one, and the Phoenix nodded to the people before she patted Shi Lang’s shoulder and claid, "As expected of my champion. Good job. Also, you should now focus on mastering the true anings. The quicker you can get to the level of a priest; you will have the power to go toe to toe with Kal-e."
Shi Lang shrugged and replied, "Fine."
