Chapter 493: Making a Nest to Catch Big Fish

The previous few months were relatively good. Those who had some problems entering the Shenyong Imperial Capital were mostly sent by some surrounding major forces to investigate.

However, the Shenyong Empire developed too fast. These forces either had their gods captured or most of their demigods subdued and killed. It was not until the past ten days that the situation became different.

"Cheer up. What happened before was not even an appetizer. This is the real beginning. Give them information and let them know the intelligence and information we let them know."

"Without orders from above, do not take any action against any of them. Follow the previous preparations..."

After Tu Houzhong immediately gave the order, he also passed the information here to Zheng Yong in time. In the imperial capital, you can directly use modern facilities to send messages.

"Are you all here?" Not long after he was teleported over, Zheng Yong's holographic call came immediately, and then Zheng Yong's out-of-body figure appeared on the central command desk of the Information Intelligence Department.

Although it is a holographic projection, the latest technology allows Zheng Yong to see everything here even if he is far away.

"Intelligence personnel from all three parties have entered. They should not know about our Shenyong Empire yet and are investigating. However, what the Shenyong Empire has revealed are all your ideas back then, and there are not many traces of the Earth. The Immortal Kingdom of God and the True God Alliance may not be able to find anything quickly, but it is difficult to completely conceal the Eternal Gate."

"Buzz..." Just as Tu Houzhong was reporting, the holographic equipment at the core of Zheng Yong suddenly started to work. Under the highest authority, Tu Houzhong had no power to control it. A figure appeared. It was Li Zhi who had disappeared for several months.

"Director..." Tu Houzhong and all the staff around him immediately stood up and saluted.

"Director, you are willing to come back." Zheng Yong was still well controlled in front of outsiders, and saluted like Tu Houzhong.

They all knew that the equipment here can only radiate about 30,000 miles around. Li Zhi's appearance here means that he has arrived near the Shenyong Empire.

"I just finished some things. I saw the news from you on the mother-child communicator. The three parties have begun to explore here." Li Zhi said, looking at the part that was specifically focused on analyzing the Eternal Life Gate, "The Immortal Kingdom of God and the True God Alliance will first give them news according to the established plan, let them know that this is a great emperor held up by a certain god or multiple gods, and find the person who is staring at the Eternal Life Gate. Can you find their person in charge based on the people here?"

Although people have not returned to the Divine and Brave Imperial Capital, Li Zhi already knows the situation here.

The intelligence personnel from several parties who have entered the Divine and Brave Imperial Capital are all some high-level six-level and human supremes and some demigods. Li Zhi doesn't believe that there will be no gods coming in person for such things.

But judging from the current situation, these big fish don't dare to enter the Divine and Brave Imperial Capital easily.

"It's still difficult to find the big fish from these small fish. After all, we can't track them back through the mother-child communicator. We can only track them in the original way. But I have asked the thief to mark them secretly. If they leave the imperial capital and contact the upper line, we can find them." Tu Houzhong replied hurriedly.

This is indeed a troublesome matter. Zheng Yong and Li Zhi frowned and thought after hearing it.

Although they have been prepared for a long time and have taken the lead to a certain extent, they can still stay in the dark, but it is obvious that they are now on the verge of being exposed. Catching the opponent's big fish can effectively delay exposure and be more proactive, but the opponent is cautious and does not enter the imperial capital in person, so they don't have much better solution.

"Then let's do it..." Li Zhi pondered for a while: "First, clean up all the spies and intelligence personnel who may be from the Eternal Life Gate. It's better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go. It doesn't matter if you kill more. Then you arrange to release some information in advance, or directly arrange it in this area..."

Li Zhi raised his hand and condensed a map directly.

"Find a few suitable points for action. Don't be too strong. They are all demigods and ordinary troops. Then let the demigods start to act and create opportunities for the other side to catch the demigods."

"Anyway, they don't know our current strategy and situation, and they know limited about the actions in the outer periphery. The intelligence they can detect in the short time in the Divine Brave Capital is also limited. At the same time, the three areas provide them with opportunities in an expansion way to lure the other side to take action."

"The Divine Thief and I are responsible for this area. As long as we take action, we can catch the big fish. If they don't take action, then we will remain vigilant and continue to explore."

It's not Li Zhi's character to wait completely passively. Since the big fish doesn't take the initiative to bite the hook, then he will make a nest to lure the other side to take the bait.

If it works, the big fish will be caught. If it doesn't work, there will be no big loss.

"Yes." Tu Houzhong immediately went to execute it when he heard that Li Zhi had made a decision.

"You are already nearby, why don't you come back first?" Zheng Yong looked at Li Zhi.

"I'll search around first and see if I can try my luck and catch one or two big fish."

Zheng Yong: "The leader of the Eternal Life Sect knows us too well. We should go after the Eternal Life Sect first, right?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on the reaction of the Eternal Life Sect. Let's put it this way. Except for the True God Alliance, the three immortal kingdoms and the Eternal Life Sect were tricked by me before. Their current restraint is actually because they know the existence of a third party. Whether it's going after the Eternal Life Sect or the other two parties first, there is only one purpose, which is not to let them unite to deal with us." Li Zhi is still very sober.

Although he was hiding in the dark and pushing forward the current situation, the abnormal attitudes of the Immortal Kingdom and the Eternal Life Sect also made him very alert.

"We must be careful indeed. The three immortal kingdoms have been playing it safe this time. Even though they have been killed by the Eternal Gate, and lost dozens of demigods and hundreds of thousands of troops in the fight, it seems that their reactions are very abnormal now. After such a long time, we don't know whether they will transfer a large number of troops from the God Realm in the future. At present, our understanding of the situation in the capital of the Immortal Kingdom is not much better than their understanding of us." When it comes to business, especially the big things that are related to the whole situation, Zheng Yong is also quite capable.

"I know a little bit, although I'm not 100% sure, but they should have reinforcements. And the gods in the lower world seemed to have concealed something at the time. As for the reinforcements of other armies, they have never stopped. It is almost certain that their first target now is not the Eternal Gate, but us." Li Zhi said casually.

But when he said this, Zheng Yong's eyes widened.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally did not continue to ask this sensitive topic at this place.

Li Zhi didn't care. First, everyone here was an intelligence agent from Earth, and second, he didn't plan to elaborate.

"Damn, this is really troublesome. I took advantage of it before, but now I'm going to suffer a big loss." Although he didn't ask any more questions, Zheng Yong smacked his lips a few times and felt that things would be more troublesome.

Before, he used a third party to hide and secretly calculate the other party, and now it is very likely that the other party will join forces to attack. This kind of attack does not even require communication and cooperation. If the Immortal Kingdom is targeting them with all its strength, the Lord of the Eternal Life Sect will definitely relax the attack on the Immortal Kingdom.

"It's really troublesome, so I rushed back before I finished the work over there. But it's good enough to mess up the situation like this now. The next step is to delay their discovery and start a full-scale war. In fact, without the leader of the Eternal Life Gate, it would be difficult for the Immortal Kingdom to determine that we are the third party. After all, your Divine Brave Empire has existed for a long time, and these can be investigated. In addition, your background is the divine turtle. If the Black Tiger God and several other gods from the primitive land show their power, it will be difficult for them to determine some things." Li Zhi knew the trouble, but he was not afraid.

When things come, they will come if you worry about them. Find a way to deal with it. No matter what the outcome is, it is better than worrying.

"Oh, I see. No wonder you didn't let the Earth army appear in the imperial capital, nor did you let a large number of traces of the Earth appear. Everything remains in its original state. The army's battles outside are also deliberately concealed. Damn, you have calculated it long ago."

Just when Zheng Yong was amazed at Li Zhi's calculations, Tu Houzhong had arranged people to arrest all the spies related to the Eternal Life Gate in the city.

At home, Tu Houzhong can mobilize more power than you can imagine. He can directly block a certain place and capture people without alerting the outside world.

While completing these tasks, the work of laying baits in the periphery has also begun.

"If there is any news, please notify me at any time. Everything is normal on the surface, but we will enter a state of combat readiness secretly and strengthen the normal investigation of the three forces." After the arrangements were made, Li Zhi's figure had disappeared.

About 30,000 miles away from the capital of the Shenyong Empire, Li Zhi had just finished communicating when a figure broke through the air.

"Hello, boss. Hehe, you have been away for several months. I miss you."

It was the God Thief who appeared in the void. At this moment, he smiled happily.

"Not bad. Looking at your posture, you have improved a lot recently. The Emperor Shenyong has repeatedly recommended you for merit, saying that you have captured many gods."

"Not bad, not bad, hehe... I like catching gods."

Li Zhi chatted with the God Thief briefly, and then explained the situation to him. The God Thief himself had cooperated with Tu Houzhong's Information Intelligence Department to do things, and immediately understood what to do.

There are three areas, two people in the middle, and they are responsible for sweeping the surroundings at the same time.

The God Realm is too vast, and there are many people coming and going around the Divine Brave Imperial Capital. In this case, if the other party hides a little, even if Li Zhi and the God Thief are like this, it is difficult to detect anything simply by relying on the divine thoughts.

Fortunately, Li Zhi first asked Tu Houzhong to take action to kill all the spies related to the Eternal Life Gate, and then released the bait.

The biggest advantage of these baits is that they have begun to leave the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Divine Brave Empire. As long as the other party retreats from this direction, they will definitely pay attention to this side. Regardless of whether the other party has collected intelligence and wants to retreat, or is scared away, Li Zhi is betting that the other party will catch two of the Divine Brave Empire demigods when they meet them on the periphery before leaving.

After all, if you dare not enter the imperial capital, the harvest will be limited. If you don’t want to return empty-handed, it’s best to capture a few demigods.

They are all divine thoughts, and the difference is seen in the subtleties. If the efficiency and range of others’ exploration in the void are ten, then the Divine Thief’s is thirty or even fifty, and Li Zhi’s exploration efficiency is more than seventy.

This has something to do with the normal strength of divine thoughts, but it is more about the understanding of space.

The gods shuttle through the void, flashing and fleeting, and they will also be at different points in different layers. Some can also follow the combination of void fluctuations, turbulence, vibrations, collapses, etc. It is extremely difficult to detect gods in the void.

"Lost contact, all lost contact, damn, are they all dead?" At this time, some time has passed since Tu Houzhong cleaned up the spies in the imperial capital.

The Lizard Dragon God hiding millions of miles away has become more and more irritable because he has not received any news for a long time.

The attack in the imperial capital sent out six teams of troops, three of which were outside. One of the three teams outside lost contact, and all six teams in the imperial capital lost contact.

If he had led a team to explore the news at other times, the Lizard Dragon God would have definitely found a way to get through. But he instinctively felt that there was danger. On the one hand, it was his intuition, and on the other hand, it was because there was the breath of the turtle here, the kind of breath that could be felt even from a million miles away.

There is only one possibility for this situation. The old turtle who has been sleeping since Kaitian directly comes out to support this side.

The Lizard Dragon God is not a god from the Kaitian Era, but he has experienced the end of the war between gods and knows some powerful beings in that era. The God Turtle is the most mysterious, the Black Tiger God is the most ferocious, the Suzaku God is the most powerful, and the White Crane God is the most free and easy-going. The Nine Poison Gods are the most vicious...

Feeling the power of the Divine Turtle in the Heroic Empire here made him extremely fearful and did not dare to approach easily.

However, the information reported back by the spies sent in the early stage could not meet his needs. In this case, he would not be able to report to the leader of the Yongsheng Sect when he returned.

After much hesitation, the Lizard Dragon God was still afraid of the Divine Turtle, and finally decided to rush back to the Eternal Life Sect first, so that the owner of the Eternal Life Sect could invest more intelligence personnel or more gods to come and investigate.

In the sea area, on an island chain with dozens of islands, the surroundings were blocked by a large formation. Many four-winged demon birds were charging madly above, but it was difficult to break out of the formation.

There were quite a few of them, including three four-winged demon birds at the demigod level, and the entire group numbered thousands.

They are entrenched here, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles around, and their speed is much faster than the demon clan of the same level. Generally, non-gods cannot do anything to them personally. Unexpectedly, the surrounding area was suddenly blocked, and six demigods and an elite army of ten thousand people surrounded it.

"Hahaha, you are shouting and being arrogant. Aren't you not even afraid of the coming of gods? Aren't you able to survive in any place? I will kill you all this time. I really thought I didn't know that you have that inheritance ritual. Well, I've caught them all in this next catch..." At this moment, a huge red shark on the sea surface was driving the waves, laughing loudly, and his mental power was shaking.

This Red Shark Demon Emperor is also the top demon emperor. His abilities lie in the deep sea, and things outside have nothing to do with him.

But after the recent emergence of the All Worlds Psyker Administration, it seems that the territory has not expanded much on the surface, but it has expanded a lot in the deep sea. The divine thief's space ability is not subject to too many immortal decrees from the deep sea. Among the gods he captured, several are deep sea gods.

By the way, many demon clans in the deep sea were also surrendered. The Red Shark Demon King was one of the subordinates who took refuge in the brave empire gods. He has recently been responsible for dealing with these four-winged monster birds, and has encountered many setbacks. They can continue to set off huge waves to attack here, but these four-winged monster birds are still very difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, at this time, the old minister of the brave emperor, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor, who now holds great power under the gods, arrived in person, bringing with him a large array at the level of an artifact, and suddenly trapped the four-winged demon bird in a chain of islands. Let them not even have a chance to run.

This made the Red Shark Demon King, who had been fighting with the four-winged demon bird for more than a month and had been tormented by it, suddenly turn his back on the enemy, so he was the most excited at this moment.

"Red Shark Demon Emperor..." At this time, those following the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor thought that the Demon Emperor wanted to stop immediately, because they already knew the character of the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor and did not like the character of the Red Shark Demon Emperor.

"Don't worry about him." Unexpectedly, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor, who has always been steady in doing things, and even more so after presiding over the daily overall situation of the Brave Empire, would suddenly secretly stop his subordinates at this moment.

At this moment, there were several other demigod-level demon kings who roared excitedly after hearing the words of the red shark demon emperor.

They were newly recruited, and were obviously different from the regular army who had ordered and banned the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor after his death.

"Hahaha, they should be killed. Those who don't know the current affairs must be killed..."

"Even the gods have to take refuge in our brave empire, what do they mean..."

"Snow Eagle Demon Emperor is now the prime minister. It is an honor for them to come in person..."

"Yes, I had a good talk with them before and they were disobedient. Who do they think they are..."

"Snow Eagle Demon Emperor is here, they are dead..."

…………

There was no one to stop the Red Shark Demon King at first, which immediately aroused the interest of these demon clans who had not yet reached the level of a regular army. When they attacked and killed these four-winged demon birds, they all roared excitedly.

Snow Eagle Demon King's unusual behavior made the men following him look at him in surprise.

Since he followed the Mighty Emperor, he has also been fully cultivated by the Mighty Emperor. He even let the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor absorb divine energy when he killed the gods before.

Although that god is not in line with the path of the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor, and although he has never made a breakthrough, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor has already broken some limits, and is not far away from attaining enlightenment and becoming a god.

This powerful official who is most valued by the brave emperor is usually the most disciplined.

Especially now that the Heroic Empire has begun to expand and integrate, and many forces have entered it. In the words of the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor, there must be rules at this time. Without rules, there will be no success.

Today... what is going on?

"Come on, be more bold and expose me here..."

Just when they were puzzled, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor sent them a message and gave them an order.

These people immediately understood that there was something going on here, and immediately imitated the Red Shark Demon Emperor and others, killing like crazy, while also shouting wildly with abandon.

Snow Eagle Demon King knew what was going on, and he was waiting quietly.

The movement on their side was very huge. The Lizard Dragon God, who was shuttling through the void, rushed back all the way. His divine consciousness was also exploring the surroundings. Suddenly, he heard some shouting and stopped for a while. He immediately knew the situation here.

The Lizard Dragon God, who was originally nearly 10,000 miles away from here and was about to leave, paused for a moment.

Although the information and intelligence collected by the spies who entered the Shenyong Imperial Capital in the early stage were limited, they got news from some important officials in the Shenyong Empire. This Snow Eagle Demon Emperor was definitely the most important and powerful official under the Shenyong Emperor.

This kind of news can be known by just listening to other people's chats.

If he hadn't heard about the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor, the Lizard Dragon God wouldn't even stop.

There was not much gain this time. If the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor could be caught, wouldn't all the problems be solved...

With this thought, the Lizard Dragon God's eyes lit up, and he secretly thanked himself for his good luck.

He didn't know that there were two important people waiting for him in other areas. As long as he wanted to catch them, they would take the bait.

The space fluctuated rapidly, and the Lizard Dragon God had quickly approached the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor. In fact, at this moment, he had already reached the void layer behind the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor.

What broke the limit and transformed the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor was not his body, but his mental power had degenerated into divine thoughts, which was why he was treated as a quasi-god.

At this moment, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor had an inexplicable sense of crisis.

At this level, having this sense of crisis was definitely not a joke, but the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor suppressed it.

Using his body as bait, he knew that nothing he did would work, and he could only wait for the result.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the space around the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor vibrated, and some space barriers were condensed. A terrifying divine thought suppressed him around, and a claw had already stretched out from behind him and grabbed his head directly.

At this time, the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor tried to react, but his voice could not be heard, and his movements were suppressed, so he had no chance to attack and resist.

"Follow me obediently, resistance is impossible...ah..."

At this moment, a voice echoed in the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor's spiritual sea.

Before the voice fell, there was a sudden exclamation, and then a space blade passed by. The space blade passed by like a dragon scale, sticking to the back of the Snow Eagle Demon King's head, and directly cut off the claws that stretched out from the void.

"Bang..."

The space cage that had just imprisoned the Snow Eagle Demon King also exploded with the severance of the Lizard Dragon God's claws.

"Swoosh..."

The moment the cage exploded, the Snow Eagle Demon King rushed out regardless of everything.

Although he knew that someone from his side had taken action, he didn't dare to stay here even if he was already a quasi-god when it came to the battle of gods.

"Damn it, swoosh..."

The Lizard Dragon God realized something was wrong, but he was unwilling to let the Snow Eagle Demon King go. He roared and appeared at the same time, and the severed claws flew towards the Snow Eagle Demon King again.

"Little guy, now that I have discovered you, you still want to catch our people in front of me, you are dreaming."

At this time, a divine thought wave came, and then a dragon was seen swallowing the severed claw of the Lizard Dragon God in one gulp, and then opened its bloody mouth to swallow the Lizard Dragon God.

"Earth Dragon True God Lock... Real Divine Artifact... This is a trap..."

Although the Earth Dragon True God Lock has changed, the Earth Dragon Lizard Dragon God that was activated is not unfamiliar, and he instantly realized the problem.

At this moment, he dared not stay any longer. The opponent's spatial means were far beyond his, and there was a real artifact. How could he play this.

But it was not so easy for him to retreat at this moment. He was retreating, but the Earth Dragon True God Lock in the hands of the God Thief was chasing him closely.

"Bang bang bang..."

Void cages kept appearing in front of the Lizard Dragon God, trying to stop the Earth Dragon True God Lock, but these space cages kept exploding in front of the Earth Dragon True God Lock.

"Boom... Puff..."

Facing the faster Earth Dragon True God Lock, with nowhere to hide, the Lizard Dragon God could only spit out dragon breath with all his strength to fight back.

The huge explosion caused the surrounding space, which had been forced out for hundreds of miles, to collapse.

At this moment, hundreds of miles away, the Snow Eagle Demon King was stunned.

If he was really caught in this terrifying impact explosion, he would most likely die miserably. Obviously, the so-called quasi-god can block the attack of the gods for several times, depending on what kind of gods the other party is.

At this time, the Lizard Dragon God was in a very miserable state. Although he blocked the Earth Dragon True God Lock, he was also injured. In addition, his claws were cut off before. Although it did not affect his escape speed much, he found it difficult to escape.

In the void, where he rushed at full speed, space collapses continued to occur.

There were also countless void blades, and space wind explosions continued to sweep. If he had not been good at space power, he would have been finished long ago.

But it was precisely because he was well versed in this that he understood what it meant.

The opponent's attack was something he couldn't do even if he tried his best. This was not just a lack of strength, but a difference in the application of the laws of space.

The opponent's understanding of space was much stronger than his.

The Lizard Dragon God barely dodged and rushed out for thousands of miles, but was finally swept by the space wind explosion because he didn't dodge in time. Finally, his tail broke and exploded before he rushed out.

Just because of this delay, he found that a huge earth dragon was circling around him just after he rushed out, and he had completely trapped him.

There was no escape!

At this moment, the Lizard Dragon God's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Om..." What made him even more desperate was that at this moment, the void vibrated and a figure appeared. He couldn't see the figure clearly through the earth dragon transformed by the hovering Earth Dragon True God Lock, but he could see clearly that the person he looked up to due to the power of space was respectfully saluting the newcomer.

Although he knew he couldn't escape and couldn't beat him, the Lizard Dragon God still tried his best in the end, but he couldn't change the final result. After struggling for a while, he was still completely locked by the Earth Dragon True God Lock.

When he was completely locked by the Earth Dragon True God Lock, his power was also completely sealed.

"Boss, the nest was successfully laid, the big fish was hooked, and it was an old acquaintance." It was naturally Li Zhi who came later. At this moment, the God Thief smiled and said happily while looking at the Lizard Dragon God.

Old acquaintance?

At this moment, the Lizard Dragon God had seen Li Zhi and the God Thief clearly, but he was also extremely confused. He understood that the other party said that the big fish was hooked, and he was calculated by the other party. The Snow Eagle Demon King was the bait put down by the other party, but what about the old acquaintance?

Do you know them? They know me, what's going on?

"Look at his confused eyes, take him back and let Black Tiger God and the others train him. It's best if he can cooperate actively. If not, then use some tricks." Seeing this guy's confused eyes, Li Zhi thought it was interesting and ordered casually.

"Okay." After the God Thief agreed, he asked again: "Boss, it's easy for us to catch a big fish, but if we catch it like this, won't it be more exposed? Will the Eternal Life Gate take any direct action?"

Li Zhi smiled faintly and said: "Catching him is to delay time. Why do you want to let the Eternal Life Gate know that he was caught? He has a mother-child communicator. Can't you let him provide some information to the Eternal Life Gate from time to time? Anyway, as long as he doesn't reveal the key information, he can delay for a while."

"Understood, I'll do it now." The God Thief immediately understood the intention.

The Lizard Dragon God, who was locked by the Earth Dragon True God Lock, just listened to the conversation between the two. The more the other party didn't avoid him, the more frightened he felt.

What does this mean...

The Lizard Dragon God was a little afraid to think further.

And the God Thief also discovered one thing, the boss didn't seem to care so much about catching the Lizard Dragon God, and even this temporary nesting to catch big fish was just a side job.

After catching it, it was up to him to deal with it. Obviously, it didn't matter whether it succeeded or not.

The God Thief had followed Li Zhi for so long, and he had guessed some possibilities in his heart. The boss must have other arrangements, but the God Thief was very sensible and would never ask too much.

After confirming that the boss had no other arrangements, the God Thief took the Lizard Dragon God back to the Divine and Brave Empire.
