Chapter 1250: Divination Duel

In the dark little room, the world’s most mysterious fortune-teller, “Kaisen,” was now preparing intensively. Sitting quietly in front of the crystal ball, he kept rotating the scenes within it…
With each change in scene, Kaisen quickly read out a series of numbers:
“Thirty miles outside Green Water City… 376 disciples of Jinxiu Heshan, among whom about 37 are suspected to be top experts…”
“Six miles east of the foot of Tianshan Mountain… 490 disciples of Jinxiu Heshan, including 19 suspected top experts!”
“Moli City… 533 disciples of Jinxiu Heshan… On the official road just ten miles away, there are over 3,000 disciples of the Heroic Alliance, among whom 43 are suspected top experts!”
“Canglong Valley… 77 troops from various factions, with 77 suspected top experts!”
“Shhh, shhh…”
Across from Kaisen, a beautiful girl with golden hair and blue eyes sat upright, holding a goose feather pen as she swiftly recorded every number he provided on paper.
After half a day, Kaisen finally stopped reading the data, switching through scenes even faster than before.
The golden-haired girl raised her head, staring at Kaisen, who was covered in a large black cloak, her eyes filled with curiosity and interest.
But Kaisen paid no attention to her glances. From over a day of observation, he had discovered a shocking secret.
Though he had sensed unease from various places, his intuition told him that the hidden numbers far exceeded the Wild Wolf Organization’s expectations—and even far surpassed those of the Evil Emperor…
The Central Plains!
No, rather, Jinxiu Heshan’s current strength was far greater than they had anticipated! If things went wrong, there was a risk of failure in the battle in the Western Regions, allowing Happy to capture another city!
It was out of this concern that Kaisen brought a young girl to record the data for him, compiling information from various sources to verify whether his worries were justified.
“Done!”
Taking his gaze away from the crystal ball, Kaisen looked at the paper in the golden-haired girl’s hands. “Sum up all the details—numbers of troops and top experts from Jinxiu Heshan, the Heroic Alliance, and the major sects in the Central Plains—and tell me.”
“Okay.”

The blond girl with blue eyes knew full well that the person before her was the most important figure in the Wild Wolf Organization, someone with immense influence across the globe. She replied in a sweet voice, obediently following Kaisen’s instructions and quickly starting to calculate.

As she calculated, the blond girl’s expression, which had been fixed on Kaisen, began to change slightly… Gradually, her attention shifted away from him.

At first, the numbers on the paper hadn’t really concerned her, but as they increased and accumulated, a sense of shock and unease began to grow within her.

She became more and more focused, calculating faster and faster. By the time she reached the final figures, she almost forgot to report them to Kaisen right away. Trembling, she picked up the paper, her peach-colored lips parted in disbelief.

Whoosh!

While still in shock, a hand snatched the paper from her. The blond girl started, looking up to see that Kaisen had somehow appeared behind her, standing there silently like a ghost.

“…”

After taking the paper, Kaisen glanced at the numbers and quickly gasped. His pupils constricted sharply, then slightly widened before contracting again.

Bang!

For the first time, Kaisen stormed out of the small dark room in extreme agitation.

Behind him, the blond girl rushed after him, her face still showing the shock and excitement from earlier.

…

“What’s wrong?”

When Kaisen came out of the headquarters of Persia’s largest gang, people rushed over upon hearing the news. Four experts from the Wild Wolf Organization appeared silently in front of him.

The four of them stared in surprise at Kaisen, who was covered in a black robe and appeared extremely pale. “Prophet, you shouldn’t have come out. The boss said you should keep an eye on Yi Di and Kai Xin these days, while also monitoring the movements of the vanguard forces of Jinxiu Huashan…”

“Don’t tell me what I should do now. Contact Yan Lang and Xiao Taohong immediately. Say I have urgent matters to report to the boss right away.” Surrounded by the four, Kaisen said calmly, “I have crucial information that must be reported to the boss right away!”

“Can’t you use homing pigeons to send a message to the boss?”

“The boss has gone after the Eight Buddha Yaksha King to the ruins of the Eight Divine Kings’ temple. Homing pigeons can’t reach there…”

As a renowned seer, Kaisen naturally knew the location of the Evil Emperor. “Yan Lang is near the temple altar and can’t receive homing pigeons. I want you to find Yan Lang and Xiao Taohong right away!”

“Wait a moment.”

The four members of the Wild Wolf Organization sensed a hint of urgency and something unusual in Kaisen’s words and expression, and did not dare delay: “I’ll ask him right away.”
All four acted simultaneously, releasing homing pigeons.
Whoosh!
…
Very soon!
Yan Lang, who was experiencing the supreme feeling of seeing everyone else as ants on the temple altar, was found. He left the temple and responded via homing pigeon.
“What’s the matter, my great prophet? Any good news for me to take to the boss?” Yan Lang naturally knew where the Evil Emperor was.
“I hope this is good news for you.” Kaisen wrote down the data he had prepared earlier on the letter.
“…”
When Yan Lang received the message via homing pigeon and saw those numbers, his mocking and casual expression vanished instantly, replaced by one of grave seriousness and tension.
“Over 30,000 people in Malī, and more than 2,400 top experts? Are you sure?!”
Yan Lang was indeed shocked by these numbers…
“This is just the data from tracking the main force. As for the top experts, it was the people from Yipin Tang who confirmed it. Even if there’s a difference, it won’t be much.” Kaisen’s reply cooled Yan Lang’s enthusiasm significantly.
With 2,000 members of the Wild Wolf Organization in Shiva City, they had assumed that Jinxiu Heshan would send at most around 1,000 top experts this time…
To their surprise, Kaisen had already identified over 1,000 top experts from Jinxiu Heshan, with each side having nearly 1,000 top experts alongside those from the Heroic Alliance.
How could Yan Lang, who thought he had an absolute advantage, accept this?
After verifying repeatedly and confirming that Kaisen’s words were true, Yan Lang became extremely anxious…
Even though they had the Great Banishment Spell, Jinxiu Heshan also had formidable top experts—Yi Di, Qing Deng Mu Yu, Xuan Feng Xiao Li, as well as Da She Wan and Mo Feng. These people posed a significant threat to the Wild Wolf Organization.
As a result…
The military strength of the Central Plains suddenly became comparable to that of the Wild Wolf Organization.
“I’ll inform the boss right away.”
Yan Lang did not dare delay:
As a higher-ranking member of the Wild Wolf Organization, he knew that what the Evil Emperor needed this time was not a close, evenly matched battle, but a decisive victory with no suspense! Then the Wild Wolf Organization could achieve an overwhelming advantage and sweep through Jinxiu Heshan and the entire Central Plains as the victors!
Originally, all members of the Wild Wolf Organization agreed that the upcoming battle was almost settled and unlikely to change. But Kaisen’s discoveries and Jinxiu Heshan’s rapid accumulation of strength made it impossible for Yan Lang to remain calm.

Just as Yan Lang set off for the ruins of the Eight Heavenly Kings Temple to search for the Evil Emperor! Thousands of miles away in the capital of the Central Plains, someone was also working tirelessly to gather intelligence for the upcoming battle in the Western Regions!
“Yan Lang…”
“Xiao Taohong, Xian Er, Jin Luosha, Xueyu Dao…”
“Shiva City!”
“All 2,000 members of the Wild Wolf Organization are gathered near Shiva City!”
“…In the city where the Emperor resides, the Evil Emperor intends to fight us to the death in Shiva City…” Watching the rows of data rapidly appearing on the Tianji Inkstone, Bai Xiaosheng frowned deeply.
The Wild Wolf Organization was no weak force!
Persia was the first major country conquered by the Wild Wolf Organization. In that land, they were the supreme rulers, backed by the strongest local gangs, making the Central Plains’ expeditionary army seem far weaker in comparison.
Moreover, that day, the Evil Emperor had stormed to the top of the paid REP channel with overwhelming dominance, stealing all the spotlight. The forces of Jinxiu Heshan seemed like easy targets, likely to suffer a disastrous defeat.
After much deliberation…
Bai Xiaosheng hurried into the pavilion in his residence!
He wrote furiously!
A homing pigeon took off into the sky!
…
Thousands of miles away, the Emperor received the letter and quickly read Bai Xiaosheng’s pessimistic view of the battle. A hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
After long contemplation, he sent a reply:
“Do your best, and leave the rest to fate!”
“Do my best, and leave the rest to fate?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled bitterly upon receiving the letter.
Yet he understood the Emperor’s helplessness and constraints.
Now surrounded by 2,000 top experts from the Wild Wolf Organization, even the Emperor couldn’t break through and could only wait for Kai Xin to lead the Jinxiu Heshan expeditionary army to arrive.
But Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t planning to give up so easily!
A few minutes later, Feng Ling received a message from her master Bai Xiaosheng via homing pigeon…
“How’s your cultivation progress?”
“It’s going well, Master. Is something wrong?” Feng Ling had already learned about the Evil Emperor from the conversations among Xiao Yue’s group and quickly understood the situation.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Xiaosheng said slowly, as if each word weighed heavily: “Feng Ling… The battle in the Western Regions affects the survival of Jinxiu Heshan and the entire martial world of the Central Plains. This time, I won’t stop you. Even if you have to start practicing the Tianmo Qin Music from scratch, I still hope you’ll go to the Western Regions with Kai Xin to help our brothers in Jinxiu Heshan!”
Bai Xiaosheng knew that with Feng Ling’s presence, it would serve as a great deterrent against the Wild Wolf and Persian forces, ensuring Jinxiu Heshan wouldn’t be so at a disadvantage.

“Don’t worry, master. Wind Chime won’t disappoint you.” Wind Chime didn’t tell Bai Xiaosheng that she had actually already received Happy’s orders. After replying to Bai Xiaosheng’s message, Wind Chime suddenly felt a great weight on her shoulders…
