This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 884 - 681: Gongsun Bai’an’s Odd Behavior
Su Youyi's eyes sparkled like a star river, brightly gazing at her senior brother, with waves of emotion rippling through her heart, silent yet undeniably present.
Upon hearing Su Youyi's words and seeing her affectionate gaze, Liang Yi's heart stirred. Because if his junior sister hadn't told him, he wouldn't have realized this himself.
Even though he consciously never guarded against his junior sister, after a person falls unconscious, the body is left only to instinct, and it's detached from one's individual will. Now, hearing his junior sister's words, Liang Yi realized that the body's instincts never lie—he had unknowingly incorporated his trust in his junior sister into his instincts.
"So that's how it is..."
Everyone glanced at Liang Yi, then at Su Youyi, and felt it wasn't surprising that this had happened.
Although Su Youyi spoke lightly and effortlessly, who among the few present wasn't exceptionally intelligent? The intertwining and transferring of Sword Intent is not as simple as giving a pet a new home; its level of difficulty is genuine.
Without absolute perception of Sword Intent, it's impossible to successfully sense and connect with Cliff Sword Intent. After all, Cliff Sword Intent is a dead thing and doesn't fret whether you have a bond with its master. And without the subtle mastery over Sword Intent, as flexible as a limb, it's definitely impossible to successfully transfer the Abyss authority contained within Cliff Sword Intent.
Moreover, if one accidentally shakes hands during the transfer of the Abyss authority and lets it successfully escape, it's nearly the same as a shaky hand dropping a burning match while transferring explosives in one's backyard.
It's bound to explode!
Thus, though Su Youyi's tone sounded relaxed, as if having a casual chat with everyone, as if there were no difficulty at all, the true peril within was clear to all.
"Now that you've successfully awakened, quite a few people should have already noticed. After all, the commotion you caused was really too big to hide." Chen Hua, with an extraordinary demeanor, glanced smilingly at Liang Yi, sparing him the trouble of informing others.
"By the way, Master, have you looked at the jade tube I brought back?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Liang Yi scratched his head but suddenly paused and raised his head to ask Chen Hua.
It was information he'd almost sacrificed a life to obtain. If it didn't serve a purpose, it would have been all for nothing.
"Yes, after I took a look at the jade tube, I handed it over to Fang Zhi. They haven't stopped researching it during the time you were unconscious..."
As Chen Hua's voice trailed off, a streak of starlight suddenly flickered in the sky. This tiny light normally would be insignificant under the daytime clouds, yet Chen Hua, Liang Yi, and Su Youyi simultaneously noticed and looked upwards.
The starlight was straight and slender, descending rapidly. One moment it was in the sky; the next, it had landed in the clearing surrounded by Liang Yi and others, hovering at Liang Yi's waist height.
The gemstone-like translucent blue starlight rose and fell, intermittently floating, with granules of light scattered in the void, appearing mesmerizing and dizzying.
"Is this... Fang Zhi's message?"
Recognizing the aura on the starlight, Liang Yi realized who sent it.
"There's no one else it could be!"
Not surprised by his friend's method of sending messages, Chen Hua reached out and grabbed the starlight, closing his eyes, and under the curious eyes of everyone, gently placed it on his forehead.
The starlight burst forth, milky white and gentle, transforming into strips of delicate ribbons, which automatically fluttered without wind, then gradually turned into the purest points of light merging into Chen Hua.
Liang Yi and others grasped the understanding, knowing that Fang Zhi was relaying some important information to Chen Hua using a special encryption method.
After a moment, as the starlight dimmed and the ribbons dissipated, Chen Hua opened his eyes, a glint of understanding flashing in them.
"Previously, it was about how to utilize the intelligence Liang Yi gathered, and they have already discussed the result." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Upon hearing this, both Su Youyi and Grandmaster Ju's hearts skipped a beat, as they understood the meaning behind these words.
The main reason Fang Zhi and others hadn't appeared during Liang Yi's unconscious period was because they were busy discussing the intelligence matter, and once a resolution was reached, it meant the plan for the Mystical Mechanism Continent to launch an offense against the Abyss was set to be finalized.
"Do you all remember the reason we decided to attack the Abyss and spare no effort to establish a base there?" Chen Hua's fingers rubbed the Daoist Sword, looking at everyone in the valley with deep eyes and a solemn voice.
"Is it for the subsequent two steps of the plan?" Liang Yi's eyes gleamed like a starry night, speaking with firm determination. Although it sounded like a question, Liang Yi's tone indicated he was certain of it.
Su Youyi, beside him, showed a moment of surprise, recalling what Master had previously explained to them — the steps they had planned.
"Precisely! While the opponent might likely set traps based on existing information, constantly wary of us, our target this time isn't too large. We merely want to clear the area around the Abyss Gate thousands of miles on the other side, preventing them from easily tracking our movements, making it easier to implement the subsequent plans."
