Chapter 4681
This time, instead of killing Di Shitian, they encountered a powerful and terrifying dark swordsman who almost killed them there.
"Cough cough..."
Gao Changkong steadied himself and immediately looked around warily. After confirming that it was temporarily safe, he exhaled a long breath of foul air that smelled of blood, his face terribly gloomy.
"Damn it! We were so close! We were just a hair's breadth away from completely capturing that bastard Di Shitian!"
Batu spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his voice hoarse, filled with resentment and anger.
If they can kill Indra here, they will take over the kingdom directly after returning to Bharata.
Although the higher-ups of Bharata were wary of them, the vacancy at the highest level forced them to choose Gao Changkong to replace Indra as the protector of Bharata.
However, despite having prepared for so long and believing that he had considered every detail perfectly, Gao Changkong ultimately could not overcome the "fate" of Emperor Shitian.
How do you eliminate someone who can see the big picture of the future through micro-level planning?
Gu Man wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. Just one sword strike from that shadowy swordsman had shattered her internal organs.
Fortunately, she used a barrier to stabilize her shattered internal organs, and she had all the necessary medicine on her; otherwise, she would have been dead the moment the shadow swordsman appeared.
"This place is absolutely terrifying!"
A hint of worry appeared in her eyes: "Failure to kill Indra will have endless consequences."
“Given Indra’s status and influence in Bharata, once he returns, we can pin the charge of betrayal and assassination of the leader of the eight classes on him.”
"At that time, the foundation we have built over the years will likely be severely impacted, and our plans will be disrupted."
Gao Changkong remained silent, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He was well aware of the stakes involved.
The original plan was to take advantage of the chaos and environment of the Dark Sun Forest to eliminate Indra, the biggest obstacle and potential competitor, and seize everything from him without anyone noticing.
Unexpectedly, Indra's tenacity and trump cards exceeded expectations, leading to failure at the last minute.
"It's too late to say all this now."
Gao Changkong's gaze was deep, and he was not discouraged by the failure.
Failure is a constant in life, a normal occurrence. But if you don't try, you'll never taste the sweetness of victory.
His voice was hoarse from a throat injury, carrying a calm calculation.
“It’s only a matter of time before we break ties with them. As my strength grows, Bharata’s wariness of me has become incredibly meticulous.”
"They don't trust me, and the higher-ups have probably already planned to use me as fodder to enhance Di Shitian's strength. Therefore, I have no choice but to strike first!"
"The most urgent task is to find a new way to break the deadlock, or... a stronger ally."
Gao Changkong's gaze was cast into the endless, deep darkness of the forest, as if he could pierce through layers of mist and see a specific figure.
"Go find Zhang Yi."
Gao Changkong spoke slowly, his tone resolute.
"Now, in this forest, the only one who has the ability and is willing to get involved in this mess is him."
Gu Man frowned: "Chaos? He would help us? We have no connection with him, and we even have a grudge against him! Moreover, this guy is extremely cautious and shrewd; he won't do anything without a profit."
Gao Changkong's lips curled into a complex smile, a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, but rather a self-deprecating one.
"Friendship? Perhaps not. But if I fall out with Bharata, he would be very happy to see it. Not only would I want Indra to die, he would also be very happy."
If Indra were to die in battle, it would certainly be a major blow to Bharata.
How can one tolerate another's snoring beside one's bed? The Kingdom of Huaxu also did not wish for this.
Gao Changkong thought to himself, "Zhang Yi, you used me to control all sides. You managed to extract benefits from both Zhu Zheng and Di Shitian, reaping the rewards without lifting a finger. You've certainly played your cards right."
