Chapter 1249: Divination Fight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the dark room, the most mysterious fortune-teller in the world, Carlson, started making preparations for the fight. He sat quietly in front of his crystal ball and changed the scenes in the crystal ball nonstop.

Every time the scenes changed, Carlson would quickly read off a string of information.

“Nine miles from Green Water City are 376 Lovely Land members. Among them, there are approximately thirty-seven people who look like supreme-class elites.

“Two miles to the east of the foot of Heavenly Mountain are 490 Lovely Land members. Among them, there are approximately nineteen people who look like supreme-class elites.

“In Neverleaving City are 533 Lovely Land members. On a government-made road less than ten miles away are around three thousand Chivalry Alliance members. Among them, there are approximately 43 people who look like supreme-class elites.

“In Dragon Concealing Valley are 77 people from various sects. Among them, there are... 77 people who look like supreme-class elites!”

Rustle...

Across Carlson was a pretty girl with gold hair and blue eyes. She sat straight with a goose quill in her hands while she quickly recorded each data Carlson told him on a piece of paper.

This lasted for half a day before Carlson finally stopped rattling off data. He continued changing to various images, and the speed and frequency in which he did so this time was much faster than before.

The blonde looked up and stared at Carlson while he was covered by a wide and black cloak. Her eyes shone with curiosity and interest.

But Carlson did not pay attention to the blonde curls from the blue-eyed beauty. Based on the observations he made over the day or so, he noticed a shocking secret.

Even though he could sense some things that made him vaguely uneasy from many different places, he instinctively felt that the numbers that remained hidden had already surpassed the Wild Wolves’ expectations. In fact, it had already surpassed Evil Emperor’s expectations by way too much.

The Chinese plains—No, it should be said that the current strength in Lovely Land was just much stronger than they expected. If they were not careful, they might fail miserably in the battle in West Region, and Happy might take down another city!

It was due to this uneasiness that led to Carlson choosing a girl here to record data for him and all the information from various aspects. It was all so that he could verify whether there was a need for him to him to be uneasy.

“I’m done!” Carlson removed his eyes from the crystal ball. Carlson looked at paper in the hands of the blonde girl across him. “Compile the precise number of Lovely Land, Chivalry Sect, and the sects in the Chinese plains, along with the number of supreme-class elites they have, then tell me.”

“Got it.” The blonde knew that the person in front of him was the person that the Wild Wolves valued the most. He was also an important person who could affect the entire world. She answered with a sweet voice and obediently started making calculations swiftly, just as Carlson ordered him to do.

As she calculated, the blonde, whose attention had been on Carlson, started having slight changes on her face.

She slowly moved her thoughts away from Carlson.

She had not paid a lot of attention to the data on the paper just now, but as the numbers started piling up, a feeling of unease that made her shocked slowly grew.

She began calculating even more seriously, and she also calculated faster.

Once she obtained the final figures, the blonde nearly forgot to immediately hand the figures to Carlson. She held the piece of paper with trembling hands and opened her pink lips. Her face was full of disbelief.

Whoosh!

While she was still immersed in her shock, a hand reached out from behind her to grab the data.

The blonde was shocked. When she looked up, she saw that Calrson had stood behind her at some point of time like a quiet ghost.

After Carlson obtained the data, he looked at the number at the end, and he quickly sucked in a sharp breath. His pupils shrank before they dilated a little. Then, they shrank again.

Bang!

For the first time, Carlson flung open the door to the small black room in great agitation and went out.

The blonde chased after him quickly. Her shock and agitation still remained on her face.

“What is it?”

When Carlson came out of the headquarters of the largest sect in Persia, four elite Wild Wolves heard about his arrival and quickly came over. They stood in front of Carlson silently.

The four of them stared at Carlson in shock. He was covered in his black robe, and his face was incredibly pale. “Prophet, you shouldn’t have come, the leader said that you have to keep an eye out on One Emperor and Happy over the next few days. At the same time, you have to pay attention to the direction Lovely Land’s vanguards take to come here—”

“Don’t tell me what I should and should not do now. Contact Flame Wolf and Peach Blossom immediately and tell them that I have something very important to tell the leader immediately.” Carlson was surrounded by the four people. He said without his expression changing, “I have very important information, and I must inform him immediately!”

“Why don’t you send a messenger pigeon to the leader?”

“The leader went to chase after King Yaksha, and he went to the ruins of the divine temple belonging to the Eight Divine Kings. Messenger pigeons won’t reach that place...”

Carlson was a fortune teller, and it was only naturally that he would know where Evil Emperor was. “Flame Wolf is near the divine temple, and he can’t receive a messenger pigeon. I want you to locate Flame Wolf and Peach Blossom immediately!”

“One moment.” The four Wild Wolves could sense a hint of urgency and abnormality based on Carlson’s tone and expression. They did not dare to delay things. “I’ll go and ask for you.”

The four of them acted at the same time and released messenger pigeons.

Flap flap flap!

Very soon, Flame Wolf, who was enjoying the feeling of being supreme to everyone and looking at them as if they were ants while he sat on top of the divine temple, was located. He left the divine temple and sent a messenger pigeon as a response.

[What’s wrong, my great Prophet? Do you have good news that you want to tell the leader?] Naturally, Flame Wolf knew where Evil Emperor was.

[I hope that it’s good news to you.] Carlson wrote down the figures he compiled on the letter.

When Flame Wolf obtained the messenger pigeon and obtained the figures, his relaxed and mocking expression instantly disappeared. In its place was an incredibly grave and nervous expression.

[More than thirty thousand soldiers, and around two thousand four hundred supreme-class elites? Are you sure?!]

Flame Wolf was indeed shocked by the figures.

[And that’s the figures I obtained by chasing after large groups. As for supreme-class elites, I asked the people from Class One Hall to help me verify them. Even if there are some differences, it won’t be a lot.] Carlson’s reply caused Flame Wolf’s mood to plummet.

There were two thousand Wild Wolves in Shiva Town. They had made full calculations and thought that Lovely Land would at most mobilize around one thousand supreme-class elites.

He did not expect that Carlson would say that Lovely Land itself sent more than one thousand supreme-class elites, and the other sects as well as Chivalry Alliance also sent nearly one thousand supreme-class elites to the war.

How could Flame Wolf accept this when he originally thought that they had absolute advantage?

He asked for verification repeatedly. Once he was certain that Carlson was not lying, Flame Wolf instantly became nervous.

Even if they had the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique, Lovely Land had their own outstanding supreme-class elites as well. One Emperor, Green Lit Wooden Fish, Whirlwind Young Li, Orochimaru, and Wind Void were people who could pose as quite the threat to the Wild Wolves.

Because of it, the fighting strength from the Chinese plains became on par with the Wild Wolves.

“I’ll notify the leader immediately.”

Flame Wolf did not remain idle.

As one of the higher ranking members in Wild Wolves, he knew that Evil Emperor was not aiming for them to be of equal strength and for them to land a win with devastating results. Instead, he needed a clean victory, one that left no doubt that they should have won! Then, Wild Wolves would use this overwhelming advantage to break down Lovely Land in the manner of the victor, and they would take down all of the Chinese plains!

All the Wild Wolves had thought that the results of the upcoming battle was already set in stone and would not change, but Carlson’s discovery and the strength Lovely Land had managed to gather within a short time caused Flame Wolf to be unable to calm down.

Just as Flame Wolf headed to the ruins of the divine temple belonging to the Eight Divine Kings in search of Evil Emperor, someone far away in Beijing was also currently working hard to the point that he forgot to eat and sleep to gather information for the upcoming battle in West Region.

“Flame Wolf, Peach Blossom, Immortal, Golden Rakkhasa...

“Shiva Town!

“There’re a total of two thousand Wild Wolves, and they’re all near Shiva Town!

“...They’re in the town where One Emperor is. Evil Emperor is prepared to be engaged in a life and death battle against us in Shiva Town.”

As he looked at the information that quickly appeared on Universe Secrets Inkston, Wandering Know-it-all scowled.

Wild Wolves was not weak!

Persia was the first major country that Wild Wolves conquered. The Wild Wolves was the greatest king on this land, and they also had the help from the largest sect in the place. The Chinese plains’ Imperial Army was very weak compared to them.

Besides, Evil Emperor had made it to the top of the pay-to-view channel in an incredibly domineering manner. He stole the limelight, and the bit of people they sent from Lovely Land were practically eggs being sent over to hit stone. They might end up losing miserably and coming back defeated.

He thought about it for a long time. Then, Wandering Know-it-all quickly went into the pavilion in his courtyard.

He wrote swiftly, and a white messenger pigeon flew in the air.

One Emperor, who was miles away, received the letter, and he quickly discovered the pessimistic tone from Wandering Know-it-all’s letter. A faint, grave look shone in his eyes.

He thought about it for a long time before he wrote a letter as a reply.

[We’ll do what we can and hand it to fate!]

“We’ll do what we can and hand it to fate?” Wandering Know-it-all smiled wryly when he read the letter.

But even Wandering Know-it-all knew just how helpless One Emperor was, and he was forced to say this.

Right now, he was surrounded by two thousand elite Wild Wolves, and even One Emperor could not hope to break out. He could only wait quietly as Happy led Lovely Land’s Imperial Army to the place.

But Wandering Know-it-all did not intend to give up just like that.

A few minutes later, Wind Chimes received her master’s letter.

[How’s your progress with your training?]

[It’s pretty smooth. Master, did something happen?] Wind Chimes had already gotten to know about Evil Emperor from Howling Moon and the others’ conversation. She quickly reacted to the situation.

Wandering Know-it-all hesitated for a long time and felt really conflicted as he wrote the letter. [Wind Chimes, the fight in West Region is related to the survival of Lovely Land and the Chinese plains. This time, I won’t stop you. Even if you have to practice Sky Demon Zither Notes from the start again, I hope that you will still head to West Region with Happy and help your sect members!]

Wandering Know-it-all knew that if Wind Chimes attacked, she would be very intimidating to the Wild Wolves and the Persians. Lovely Land would then not be in such a passive situation.

[Don’t worry, Master, I won’t disappoint you.] Wind Chimes did not tell Wandering Know-it-all that she had long since received Happy’s orders.

After she replied to Wandering Know-it-all, she instantly felt that the pressure on her shoulders became much heavier.
