Chapter 740: Speculating Motives

For a moment, everyone in the Ming Mansion became restless and alert.

The people in Ming Mansion were different from the believers from foreign countries. They were more nervous.

The foreign army is powerful, but the people of Ming Mansion are just a drop in the bucket.

Yan Yuxiao has summoned all those who hold official positions, and they are now gathered in the main hall of Ming Mansion.

"Everyone, please tell me what you think," Yan Yuxiao's brows were furrowed, and the tension and uneasiness on her face were clearly revealed.

Jing Mo Ning was not like that. She sat next to Yan Yuxiao.

She had never experienced such a great war, so perhaps she had not yet sensed the coming disaster in her heart.

In the hall, everyone was talking about their ideas and the preparations they had made, as if they were reporting a war plan.

All the halls gathered together at this time. They had only two tasks, one was defense and the other was attack.

Tu Li said, "We still don't know what the foreign country means. After all, the foreign king said before that he would not kill us all, but now..."

"Yes, if the foreign king changes his decision and comes in person, it will be meaningless for us to resist," Wan Ji sighed.

"Don't be so pessimistic. According to my opinion, I guess the foreign king probably didn't come," Jing Kai said as he looked at the crowd who were talking.

Yan Yuxiao nodded and said, "I think so too. If the foreign king really comes, there is no need to waste so much energy. He can just come and destroy us directly."

Luo Yunchuan touched his beard. Over the years, his beard had grown to the length of his belly. Now he looked like an immortal.

"Haha, in my opinion, we should keep our troops on hold for now. However, the members of the Assassination Hall just said that hundreds of people are coming towards us, and the leaders are only three leaders. We might as well capture them and ask about the situation."

"I don't think it's that simple. They also know that there are several intermediate gods among us. It's impossible for them to only send three leaders in the middle stage of intermediate gods, right? This is not safe for them, right?"

Luo Yanfei touched her cheek and said with some confusion.

"How about this, I'll lead the team out to check out the situation," said Anwu, standing up first.

In fact, Dark Mist and his Dark Hidden Hall are the best choices for going out to gather intelligence.

But at this time, Wen Yan spoke.

"I have an idea."

As Wen Yan, who had been silent all this time, spoke, everyone turned their eyes to this think tank.

"Let's think about it, why the foreign king has not invaded us for so many years, but instead attacks me at this time."

Wen Yan looked at the people around him with interest.

Xiao Lie didn't have that patience, "Need I say more? The King of Yi must have changed his mind."

As Xiaolie's words came out, many people, or even most people, supported Xiaolie's idea.

But Wen Yan shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple."

"Tell me in detail," Yan Yuxiao said to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan nodded and said, "For a long time, we and foreign countries have kept to ourselves. Although foreign countries often send people to harass us, they actually cause no harm to us and are just asking for death. But this time, they sent so many troops. I think things are not as simple as we see."

As Wen Yan spoke, he stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"King Yi said before that his only target is Emperor Ming, so I think that this time they sent troops to target us, which may also be related to Emperor Ming."

As he spoke, Wen Yan's eyes suddenly sparkled and he looked around at everyone.

Everyone present couldn't help but tremble in their hearts after hearing Wen Yan's words.

"No, not to mention that we are the only ones who know the location of Emperor Ming, and we can't just enter and exit the desolate land at will, right?"

Just when everyone was confused, Wen Yan sneered and then looked at Pengzhan.

Pengzhan was a little overwhelmed by being looked at, "You doubt me?"

Pengzhan expressed his concerns. After all, he was not from the same world as everyone else. If anything really went wrong, he would be the first one to be suspected.

Everyone looked at Wen Yan in disbelief, and many of them said that Pengzhan would never betray them.

Wen Yan stretched out his hands and stopped everyone from talking.

"I didn't say Pengzhan was a traitor. What I meant was, when we knew Pengzhan's identity, didn't we also know that there might be more than one person in this world?"

Hearing this, Lei Yi suddenly realized, "You mean, King Yi has people from other time worlds in his hands?"

Wen Yan said, "I don't know about this, so Pengzhan may have to give us the details."

"Me? What do you want to know?" Pengzhan was a little overwhelmed. He now tried his best to prove his innocence.

"You just need to tell me about the characteristics and features of your time attributes," Wen Yan said lightly.

Pengzhan nodded and said, “As the name suggests, the time attribute means that you can control time and travel through time, but each time will consume a huge amount of energy, and you may even die in the time turbulence.”

"Brother Pengzhan, if I ask you to travel back more than a hundred years to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Ming, can you do it?" Wen Yan asked again.

Pengzhan nodded, but soon shook his head.

"I could have done it before when I had enough energy in my body, but I can't now."

Wen Yan nodded, "So my guess is feasible, right?"

Pengzhan didn't hesitate and nodded heavily, "Yes, it's okay."

"Then let's make a bold guess. If the king of the foreign country now controls a person from the time world, he can ask him to look for the trace of Emperor Ming many years ago, and then bring back the trace of Emperor Ming, but in the end they find that Emperor Ming has gone to a desolate land."

Speaking of this, Wen Yan's eyes flickered and a confident smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"If you were the king of another country, what would you do?"

Wan Ji spoke first, "If I knew Cang Ming's whereabouts, I would definitely go in and kill him without any reservations."

Tu Li also gave the same answer, "Yes, now that I know his location, I will definitely not come here to cause trouble for Ming Mansion, but will go directly to the Wasteland!"

But just when everyone agreed with Wan Ji and Tu Li's ideas, Jing Mo Ning was suddenly surprised.

"No, that's not right!"
