Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1860 Everything Was Under His Control
Of course, Zain was not someone that could be easily fooled. He was well aware that his uncle musthave already set up a trap before his team arrived. Currently, both sides were almost equal infighting prowess. If they started a fight here, it would definitely be a battle of attrition. Therefore,Zain knew that he could not recklessly start a fight without ensuring that he had high chances ofwinning. Right now, it was clear to him that he could not fall into Enoch’s provocation.
On the other hand, upon recognizing that Zain did not have the intention of crossing the bridge,Enoch went back to the demoness and whispered to her, "Madam, I'm afraid that Zain will not takethe bait. Should we replace another way to lure him and his team towards us?"
"There is no need to do that. If I am not mistaken, there is still another team that is yet to arrive. AmI right? Let's wait for them first. Depending on what will happen next, we can just eliminate bothteams at the same time," the demoness said coldly. She knew that she needed more sacrificialofferings for the ceremony to activate the demonic race's holy treasure, so she had to propose thissuggestion. The more people they had to turn into sacrifices, the better.
"Yes, madam. I understand.” Enoch cupped his hands and returned to his men.
Upon seeing that Enoch would not take the initiative to attack, Zain discerned that his uncle was justtesting his patience. Therefore, he also took the opportunity and ordered his men to rest and be onstandby.
At the same time, Rocky, Valeria, and Anya were also waiting very patiently while they hid in thedark
"They are not making a move against each other? Are they gauging each other's strength first? Ormaybe, Prince Enoch is also waiting for Princess Layla's team to arrive..." Rocky suddenly speculated."That demoness must have realized that they could catch Princess Layla and her team easily sincethey are weaker than Zain's team. We cannot let her do that!"
"I can reveal myself to draw her away from the scene first. Afterward, you can also show up and stirsome chaos to let both teams begin killing each other. When both sides are heavily injured, we cantake advantage of the situation and finish them!" Anya suggested at once. She knew that thesituation was getting unfavorable at the moment, so she proposed the most logical thing that shecould think of.
"But that is still a long shot. Why don't we tell Prince Zain about the traps that were set up by thedemonic race? Maybe he will retreat and even give up on this!" Valeria also proposed her own plan.It was apparent that she did not want the more dangerous choice.
"We don't have any evidence to show him. I don't think he will believe mere words. I actually thinkthat Anya's idea is more feasible. At this point, it might be better to make things a little messy thanlet the demonic race take charge of the situation. We may have higher chances of succeeding ifthings get more chaotic. But of course, that demoness will not be easily fooled. So, I also think thatthere is no need for us to take such a huge risk right away. If my hunch is correct, the demoness andPrince Enoch will make a move soon enough. Once they take action, we can use that chance tocreate chaos.” Rocky surmised that if the three of them showed up first, things might not really gothe way they wanted, and they might just fall into a passive position. Hence, in the meantime, hedecided that it would be better to take action right after the demoness and Enoch's team madetheir move first.
As they waited for someone to make the first move, half a day already passed. At this time, theynoticed that another group of people was quickly approaching the Demon Sealing Palace. It turnedout to be Princess Layla's team.
Although she had lost some of her members, Layla still managed to lead her team all the waytowards the Demon Sealing Palace. At the same time, she had no idea that her team's arrival waswhat everyone was waiting for to break the ongoing stalemate.
Zain's eyes narrowed upon seeing the arrival of Layla's team. He led his men and appeared beforethe princess at first time.
"Layla, I see that your team made it. I know that it was not easy to overcome all the obstacles alongthe way," Zain greeted, a bit impressed by the princess's tenacity.
"Yes. I sure am glad that we still made it," Layla responded rather calmly.
"By the way, where are the two Godly Geniuses? It seems that they are not with you." In fact, Zainwas surprised that Layla's team was reduced by more than half. Moreover, Rocky and Valeria werenot with them. He could just guess what happened with them while venturing inside the GhostlyDemon Land.
"They actually got separated from us, so I don't know where they are right now," Layla revealedwithout hesitation. Right from the start, she already knew that her team was at a disadvantage, soshe did not feel the need to hide anything. At this point, she also thought of allying with anothergroup. In her opinion, it would be smarter to join forces with Zain, knowing that he had betterchances of winning than Enoch.
"Oh, I see... Then, I hope that they can still safely come here later on.” Although Zain said these nicewords, he was secretly glad at what he heard. This way, he became more confident that Layla wouldhave no way of competing with him or Enoch. Moreover, he also thought that he could take thischance to persuade her to take his side.
Apparently, both Zain and Layla had the thought of choosing each other in forming an alliance.
On the other hand, as Rocky saw the arrival of Layla's team, he could just shake his head. Now thatall of them were here, he knew that the situation would soon become quite unpredictable.
At the same time, Rocky saw that Enoch turned to the demoness again when Layla's team arrived.The latter whispered some words to the prince as if ordering him something. Afterward, Enochwalked over to the bridge alone.
"Layla, I am impressed that your team arrived not long after both our teams reached the palace.Anyway, since we are all here, why don't we sit and talk for a while?" Enoch suggested with a calmand kind face. It was obvious that he wanted the two to let down their guard.
"Oh? And what do you want to talk about?" Layla asked straightforwardly as her eyebrows raised.She was certain that Enoch was up to something if he was proposing something like this.
"Of course, we are all here to get the power of Phillips soul. Therefore, in order to do that, we mustfirst enter the Demon Sealing Palace. However, as we all know, it is surrounded by a powerfulenchanted barrier. We already tried breaking it earlier, but it was no use. It is so powerful that evenif we gather many peerless masters of the Shura Race, it might still be impossible for us to break itby force. But I know that there is a method that is passed down among the rulers of eachgeneration that can help us bypass the barrier. However, even with its help, the number of peoplethat can enter the palace is just limited. And if I am not mistaken, Zain must know that method.”Enoch then turned to Zain with a cunning look.
"Ha-ha! What happened, uncle? Aren't you being so arrogant earlier? Now, are you saying that youneed my help so that you can enter the palace? Yes, I know how to break the barrier and enter thepalace. But what makes you think that I will tell you about that?" Zain replied with a mocking sneer."It doesn't really matter if you tell me or not. After all, do you think that you can easily get past meand my team? Even you know how strong I am. So, how about we just make a deal? Open thebarrier to the palace and take me and Layla inside. Only the three of us will enter the palace. Oncewe are inside, we'll only depend on our own abilities to accomplish the task given to us. What doyou think? In this way, we don't need to go through unnecessary bloodshed. After all, we havebrought almost all the elites of the Shura Race with us. If most of us get heavily injured, the ShuraRace will suffer the consequences. Think about it carefully,” Enoch said in a very convincing manner.After hearing this, Zain and Layla exchanged looks with each other. Although they knew thatEnoch's proposal was very reasonable, they were not dumb enough to believe that he wasn'tplanning something else behind their backs.
"Of course, whatever I say, you will still have some misgivings. However, the Demon Sealing Palaceis already in front of us. If we don't come up with a decent strategy and continue to argue with eachother, no one will be able to enter the palace. Therefore, at some point, each of us needs to make acompromise. I just think that it will be easier if we cooperate first so we could enter. Afterward, wecan fight to our hearts’ content to obtain the power that we are looking for,” Enoch continued toconvince the two using the most logical words. As long as Zain and Layla took the bait, everythingwould eventually be under his control.
