“Tell me! What exactly are the details of your plan?”
Iamas asked.
“I’ve assessed Zakaithus’ strength. From what I can tell, his overall combat power should be on par with mine, but his spiritual attacks are especially powerful!
“I’m weak in that regard, so I wanted to ask you professors if you had any good methods of overcoming this?”
After hearing Fike’s words, Cisco smiled confidently.
“Spiritual attacks? Something like pressure?”
Fike hurriedly nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, pressure. If it hadn’t been for my demonic sword, I’m afraid I would have already died back then!”
Cisco continued assuredly.
“When I was doing an investigation report for the Spell School, I once studied a comprehensive spell- something like spiritual control, from the principal for a time.”
“This specific ability is completely outside of class limitations.”
Fike’s eyes widened as he listened.
“You mean to say, it can be learnt by any class!”
“That’s right! I’ll explain the technique the principal taught me.”
Then, Cisco began his speech.
“This technique is called Summoning Determination.”
Fike listened carefully to every word of Cisco’s lecture, and time slowly passed as he did.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
By now, Fike had almost mastered the secrets of the Summoning Determination technique.
[Hidden Information: Congratulations on mastering the Summoning Determination technique. This technique allows complete resistance to spiritual spells. It is a powerful technique indeed.]
Fike realized that his odds of success had just greatly increased as he read the hidden message..
Casey spoke at this moment.
“Now that we’ve mastered this Summoning Determination to resist Zakaithus, the next thing to consider is how do we sneak into his residence?”
Hearing this, Fike smiled again as he suggested.
“I have a way!”
…
Some time later, everyone had already descended to the foot of the mountain, and had arrived at a restaurant in the Imperial Capital, where they were discussing the assassination plans.
“The remnants of the rebellion in the city will be dealt with by the Great Mage Flandor and General Brad!
“We just need to solve the problem of Zakaithus!”
Fike laid out the situation.
“Even if we succeed in assassinating Zakaithus, how are we supposed to attract the attention of the remaining troops of the Heavenly King’s Palace? And how do we bait them to the Imperial Capital anyway?
“Furthermore, will Rowei’s army even cooperate with us on our plans?”
Cisco’s series of questions did not falter Fike.
He tackled them calmly.
“Has everyone forgotten that I now have Zakaithus’ greatest treasure in my hands?”
“You mean the evil blade?”
Iamas asked.
“That’s right!
“This will lure our target into taking the bait!
“When the time comes, I’ll need two professors to follow me into the Fu Shou Inn.
“The remaining two will take advantage of the fact that Zakaithus will be occupied by us, and spread false news to attack the Imperial Capital of Rowei.
“As for the army…”
Fike smiled and continued.
“I have my own ways!”
By the time they were done discussing everything, their meal was almost finished.
“Then, why don’t we do it tonight!”
Cisco suggested.
“Okay, tonight it is!
“But I need to go back to the palace first.”
Fike agreed with a smile.
…
After returning to the palace, Fike immediately ran to his room where Lan Xi was.
Pushing open the doors, he found Lan Xi already seated there. She immediately got up to greet him, seeing that he had returned.
“My dear! You’re finally back!”
Fike didn’t say anything. Instead, he placed the Infinite Ring onto Lan Xi’s forehead as he laid his other hand on his temple.
A vibrant burst of golden light exploded abruptly. Lan Xi closed her eyes instinctively as she entered Fike’s spiritual world.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself already inside the Heavenly Palace.
Zhao Ruoxian was looking at her, judging silently.
Fike was standing beside the goddess.
Understandably, Lan Xi had no idea what was going on.
Fike was the first to speak.
“Lan Xi, this is my spiritual world! In order to completely negate the Heavenly King’s Palace’s plans to overthrow the Lieluo Empire, I have to bring you here!”
Lan Xi listened attentively to Fike’s words with a serious expression as she nodded.
Zhao Ruoxian interrupted, continuing to stare at her.
“I am the master of this place. I have also known Fike for much longer than you!”
Lan Xi glanced at the beautiful lady beside Fike before shooting an angry gaze at her husband.
Fike stammered awkwardly.
“She’s an Eastern Goddess who has lived for 3,000 years. I don’t have that kind of relationship with her! Also, Zhao Ruoxian! Can you not say things that would be easily misunderstood?”
The goddess chuckled.
Fike rolled his eyes and continued.
“Lan Xi, I’ll be going with the four professors from Yogmo Academy back to the Fu Shou Inn to assassinate Zakaithus!”
Seeing that Lan Xi was about to protest, he quickly interrupted her.
“Wait, listen to me first. After I’ve lured him to the vicinity of the capital, I’ll communicate with you in this way!
“When the time comes, quickly alert the city’s army to launch the counterattack on the remnants of the Heavenly King’s Palace! Do you understand?”
Lan Xi smiled and nodded at Fike.
“I understand! But I wanted to ask…”
“What is it?”
Fike was confused, thinking that he had already explained everything clearly.
“Are you really not in that kind of relationship with this immortal goddess?”
Fike shook his head helplessly while Zhao Ruoxian gloated at his misfortune.
Seeing his determination, Lan Xi sighed in relief.
“Okay, I understand. But you have to promise me that you’ll come back safely, understand?”
Fike stepped forward and embraced her.
“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely be back safe!”
Then, Fike brought Lan Xi out of his spiritual world, the Heavenly Palace.
After returning to reality, Lan Xi felt as if she had been in a dream.
“Who else knows this secret besides me?”
Lan Xi asked Fike with a smile.
“Just you!”
“Really? Then it really seems like an honor!”
When Fike had still been in the auditorium on the North Mountain, he had actually received a message from Zhao Ruoxian in his spiritual world. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
She had shared with him a use of the Infinite Ring that he had not known about prior to this, which was that he could share his spiritual world with someone who was very close to him.
That was why Fike had run all the way back to the palace to look for Lan Xi, and delegated her the task of contacting the army.
Fike looked out of the darkening window before saying goodbye to Lan Xi.
“I’m ready to go!”
