Chapter 1240: 1240. Cast A Stone To Find The Path

“Do you think we will face an impossible hurdle?” Li Lanfeng looked grave. If Ling Lan felt that it was dangerous, they must be in grave danger.

“I don’t know. The feeling is very vague. I just know that it’s dangerous but I don’t know what is dangerous or who is dangerous.” Ling Lan frowned.

“The future is unpredictable. We don’t know what traps are laid out before us. All we can do is to make ample preparations.” Li Lanfeng felt helpless too. Their enemy was hidden too deeply. Even after collecting a lot of information, they still couldn’t find the mastermind behind their troubles.

“There’s nothing much we can do now. I hope that it won’t be as bad as I think it will.” This sentence was to console Li Lanfeng. Unless someone meddled with fate, her instinct should be right. After all, her innate talent was Profound Insight.

Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng kept a close watch on the series of events that was happening. However, contrary to expectations, they only received more good news for the next few days. General Ling Xiao managed to destroy a few more important planets of Twilight before he disappeared from everyone’s sight again.

Ling Lan and her entourage analysed General Ling Xiao’s assault plan. However, they couldn’t find any pattern in his movements. A few days ago, he was at the east of Twilight. Today, he appeared in the west. Everyone thought that he would go to the north or south after this but instead, he went back to the east.

While everyone was praising Ling Xiao for his unpredictable offensive tactics, Ling Lan wondered if her father just followed his feelings and attacked wherever he wanted to. She suspected that it had nothing to do with planning

Of course, to protect the glamourous image of her father, Ling Lan wouldn’t tell anyone her real thoughts.

After Ling Xiao destroyed the fourth planet of the Twilight Empire, the military of Twilight finally erupted in anger.

“Useless! Every one of you so-called analysts got led by the nose by Ling Xiao. Half of our manpower and finance went down the ground for that fruitless pursuit.” The emperor threw the financial report angrily in the prime minister’s face.

“Yes, it’s our fault.” The prime minister lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely. It was true that half of the military’s manpower was used to find Ling Xiao and his 23rd division. At first, they thought that they would be able to catch Ling Xiao soon. Instead, they allowed Ling Xiao to destroy three of their planets and escape right under their nose. If ambush on Three Stars Lock was included, it would be four times Ling Xiao had escaped under their watchful eyes.

The first time might be a coincidence since they were unprepared but four consecutive losses couldn’t be explained by sheer coincidence.

“I don’t want to listen to you admitting your uselessness. I just want to know how we can kill this damn Immortal Bird so that he can never come back to life again.” The emperor exploded in anger.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. We’ve finished all our preparations. Ling Xiao won’t be able to escape this time.” The prime minister looked up. Killing intent flashed oozed out of his eyes. It was time for Ling Xiao to pay his blood debt.

“I hope you meant what you say,” the emperor replied furiously. None of the promises his prime minister made in the past were fulfilled. What his prime minister just said had already been said countless times yet, there were no results to show for. The emperor found it hard to believe his prime minister now.

“Your Majesty, if I fail again, I will apologise with my death.” The prime minister was determined to show his confidence in his plan. Their trap had been laid. It was foolproof. If Ling Xiao still managed to escape again, he wouldn’t have the dignity to continue living.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. After some time, he nodded and said, “I’ll wait for your good news.”

In the Federation, everyone was rejoicing over the good news. They felt that General Ling Xiao could win the war single-handedly.

However, there were other voices in the military too. Some felt that Ling Xiao emphasised on the wrong thing. Shouldn’t he have focused on the main army? Some people even said that Ling Xiao left the three divisions behind because he wanted to gain all the merits.

Of course, these voices were very small. They were pushed down by Ling Xiao’s supporters the moment they emerged.

Some people also mentioned that Ling Lan disregarded the order from the higher authorities and moved Base Nebula without reporting to her superiors. They said that she violated the military rules and should be called back for a trial. However, surprisingly, the military headquarters ignored these people. Many factions stood up for Ling Lan too. The military immediately reissued an order allowing Ling Lan to move Base Nebula. The people from Lingtian thought that Boss had passed this obstacle safely.

However, when Ling Lan received the order, her expression turned even darker. Li Lanfeng frowned too.

Ling Lan closed her eyes and furrowed her brows.

Suddenly, she opened them and asked, “Are you sure that the Li family didn’t involve themselves in this?”

Li Lanfeng nodded seriously. “From the information they sent me, they didn’t do anything. Even if they did, they didn’t go all out.”

“My people stood up but they got suppressed almost instantly. It seems like many people don’t want me to go back.” Ling Lan’s gaze was stern.

She was the one who asked her people to condemn her. They were the ones who suggested that she broke the military rule. Ling Lan wanted to use this to test the water. The result she found was terrible.

“The Li family didn’t place all their bets on you.” This plan was created by the two of them. To heighten the effect, Li Lanfeng contacted the family head of the Li family. He asked the Li family to cooperate entirely with their plan. From the result, they could tell that the Li family didn’t approve of Li Lanfeng’s plan. They had other thoughts in their mind.

“Benefits are always the most important thing to the Li family. It’s understandable why they made this decision. They might think that it’s better for them if we stayed at the frontline.” Li Lanfeng sneered. His contempt towards the Li family was obvious.

Li Lanfeng didn’t like the Li family. If they listened to him and cooperated with Ling Lan, he might bear with them and help them due to the blood ties. Now… once he and Ling Lan overcame this obstacle, he would slowly deal with them.

“I feel that the trap is laid before my father and I. However, I can’t see it.” Ling Lan hated it when she couldn’t control the situation.

“No matter what the order is, we just need to stay inside Base Nebula. Even if there are dangers, we’ll be able to remain safe with the weapons and equipment on the base.” Li Lanfeng decided that they would stay inside Base Nebula and not go out. This was a bad idea but it was the safest.

“They wouldn’t forget about Base Nebula.” Her opponent was too strong. Ling Lan felt that she was being suppressed all the time. “They will definitely find a reason to get me out of Base Nebula. It will be something I can’t reject.”
