"Liu Xuande has cleared all the hidden dangers in Bashu!"

"Zhuge Kongming ruled the southern barbarian region! Those nails were also pulled out one by one!"

"Guan Yu occupied the Dabie Mountains."

"Mu Yi has taken over the Wuxi Barbarians!"

The figure lurking in the shadows reported the latest progress one by one.

"Everything is going as planned!" Sima Yi looked down at the chessboard in front of him and said lazily.

"In terms of forming alliances and making alliances, Zhuge Kongming is still as formidable as ever. In this deadlock, he managed to find all the possibilities and completely revitalize the situation!"

"Tell me about the other situations!"

"For some reason, the people of Dongwu are gathering towards Jianye, as if they are certain that Guan Yu and his group will attack Jianye!"

"Our King Wu of Wei is still as stupid as ever, but we can't blame him. The various families in Eastern Wu have sold out countless interests for their own benefit."

"Having ambition but no destiny is really lamentable!"

"But having said that, in this situation, he can still rely on checks and balances to stay above everyone else. This kind of politics is really admirable!"

Sima Yi lightly tapped a black piece in the lower right corner of the chessboard. The surrounding Silla chess pieces were filled with black and white pieces. It can be clearly seen that these black and white pieces are not of the same color.

"So what is our King of Wei doing now?"

Sima Yi looked at the connected lower left corner and the chaotic lower right corner, and his gaze finally fell on the top of the chessboard, representing the north.

"The King of Wei destroyed the White Horse Temple!" The words of the shadow man made Sima Yi's fingers holding the chess pieces pause for the first time.

"The six great Bodhisattvas and eighteen Arhats didn't take any action?" Sima Yi's eyes became serious.

After the Da Jin Dynasty and Buddhism reached an agreement, Buddhism became one of his most reliable allies, but now it has been destroyed.

This is not good news.

"Something happened at the White Horse Temple. The six great Bodhisattvas and the eighteen Arhats are nowhere to be seen!"

"It seems that I have underestimated our King Wei!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and placed a black chess piece on the chessboard, killing a white chess piece that was surrounded by heavy pieces. As a result, the chessboard became connected and a black dragon emerged, baring its fangs and claws on the chessboard.

"There are too many players. This chess game is really a mess!"

Sima Yi stared at the intricate situation on the chessboard and laughed like a night owl.

"Zhongda, long time no see!"

Just as Sima Yi was examining the chessboard, a plain yet domineering greeting suddenly came from outside.

"Speak of Cao Cao, here he comes. Long time no see, King Wei!" Sima Yi did not move, but turned his head back strangely and saw Cao Cao walking in.

His not-so-tall figure exudes an infinite sense of dominance.

"You dare to see me?" Cao Cao walked to Sima Yi's opposite side with some surprise and sat down calmly.

"Why not!" Sima Yi calmly poured wine for Cao Cao.

"You are really a liar!" Cao Cao raised his wine glass.

"From the moment I stepped into this room, the position I was sitting in, the wine glass in my hand, the wine in the glass, and the incense in this room, they were all poisoned. It was as if they wanted to kill me directly!"

"Of course, of course I want to get rid of you, King Wei. After all, I will still be a minister of Wei until my death!" Sima Yi was exposed of his plan, but he was not panicked at all and said with a smile.

"You are my lord! The sound of the three horses sharing the same trough is still fresh in my mind."

"So, I am sorry for you!"

Cao Cao laughed and drank the wine in his hand.

"You are still as domineering as ever, and you deserve the title of Emperor Wu of Wei."

Sima Yi smiled, raised his glass and drank it all.

"I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to face me here!"

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi. After all, this was the Wei Dynasty, not the Jin Dynasty. Even if Sima Yi had indeed gathered a group of forces, it would not be enough.

Just like this, Sima Yi was not strong enough to face him.

"Of course it's because you need me!" Sima Yi smiled, his smile was quite steady.

"You want to kill my subjects, how can I tolerate you!" Cao Cao looked at the wine glass in his hand, as if he was considering whether to kill Sima Yi.

"So how does the King of Wei plan to deal with me?" Sima Yi remained calm.

"Zhongda's chess game is really ingenious. How about you come and discuss the situation with me?" While talking to himself, Cao Cao took out a few black pieces and dotted a circle around the white piece in the center.

"Do you know what your biggest weakness is?" Sima Yi fell silent as he watched Cao Cao's actions.

Cao Cao’s meaning was very clear, to keep him, but to control him.

If it were Sima Yi, he would definitely agree to this method, but unfortunately, he was already the Emperor Gaozu of Jin.

"Where?" Cao Cao looked straight into Sima Yi's eyes. He felt the spirit rising from Sima Yi.

"You are just too conceited!"

"Even though I knew it was poisonous, I still chose to endure it!"

As he spoke, Sima Yi's eyes were extremely cold.

A figure appeared from behind Sima Yi. Cao Cao frowned and wanted to get up, but found that his body was unable to move due to the appearance of the other party.

"This is indeed the Great Wei, but this is also the Nine Provinces. You are Emperor Wu of Wei, and I am Emperor Taizu of Jin. Do you think you can still make me submit like before? That would be too easy."

Sima Yi smiled and removed all the chess pieces that Cao Cao had just placed on the chessboard, and replaced them with new pieces.

"What kind of poison did you give me?" Cao Cao was a little confused. After all, he dared to come and was fully prepared.

He dared to drink the poisoned wine because he brought a treasure, the seal of the Plague Department, which could protect him from all poisons, unless it was some innate poison that could harm the emperor level.

If such a thing really existed, Cao Cao would have acknowledged it.

After all, the fact that Sima Yi could come up with this kind of thing meant that he had no way to fight against Sima Yi, even though this was his home court.

"Let me introduce to you, General Jiu Tian Sha Tong, the eighth star of the Big Dipper!"

"It's not poison that limits you, but thunder!"

"Using thunder as wine? What a magical power!" Cao Cao now understood what had happened to him.

As he carries the seal of the God of Plague, he will naturally not be harmed by poison, but if it is thunder, then it will be a different story.

The God of Plague cannot shut down the God of Thunder.

"You are really capable. You have not only climbed into the Buddhist sect, but also made friends with the Thunder Department!"

Cao Cao did not have any other emotions, but just felt that there was a time when Sima Yi could only rely on him to strengthen himself and finally devour the entire Wei Dynasty.

But now it is completely different. They are standing at the same height as him. The protagonists of this battle to transcend the tribulation have never been them. They just happened to participate in this battle to transcend the tribulation.

The Buddhist sect, which had originally been the biggest trouble, mysteriously withdrew for unknown reasons. Instead, some forces that had originally planned to come in and look for opportunities began to surface.

The Plague Department behind Cao Cao and the Thunder Department behind Sima Yi. Sima Yi was also secretly glad at this moment that he was cautious enough and was now able to control the situation again.

"I really can't underestimate you. Just a little bit of negligence has turned the situation upside down." Cao Cao sighed leisurely.

"Please take action, General God!" Sima Yi said respectfully to General Jiutian Shatong.

Although the other party was temporarily added as his general, his status was fundamentally equal to his.

General Jiutian Shatong did not hesitate at all. With a flash of silver light in his hand, he stabbed directly at Cao Cao.

However, at the moment the silver light fell, General Jiutian Shatong's face changed drastically, and he grabbed Sima Yi and was about to leave.

However, at the sound of a bell, General Jiutian Shatong was completely frozen in place, not daring to move at all.

"Are the people in the Thunder Department so unruly?"

"Greetings to the True Lord of Plague!"

General Jiutian Shatong had no choice but to put Sima Yi down and salute the figure that suddenly appeared behind Cao Cao.

The head of the Plague Department, the God of Plague, Lu Yue waved his hand to untie the restraints on Cao Cao. He and Cao Cao had a cooperative relationship.

The human world and the gods and immortals are two parallel tracks, just as Buddhism also needs the cooperation of a Jin emperor like Sima Yi.

In a relationship of spokesperson and partner.

To put it simply, they should be considered angel investors, who invest and receive shares and dividends but do not participate in management.

"Did Wen Zhong ask you to come, or did Bian Zhuang ask you to come?"

Lu Yue looked at the general Jiutian Shatong in front of him. Strictly speaking, the other party was indeed capable of fighting with him. After all, his world limit was here. But who made him give his magic weapon to Cao Cao?

Led by Cao Cao and controlled by himself, even if he could only exert a little bit of power, it would be enough to crush the Nine-Sky Killer Boy General in front of him.

What Lu Yue is concerned about now is whether it is Wen Zhong or Bian Zhuang who is behind the Nine-Sky Killer General.

Wen Zhong is known as the Nine-Heavenly Thunder Lord, and is the head of the Thunder Department.

Bian Zhuang is one of the four guardian gods of Emperor Ziwei, the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, and the Marshal Tianpeng.

The two represent completely different meanings. Although their strengths are the same as his, they are all outside the threshold of becoming an emperor.

However, as an old immortal, Lu Yue knew that although Wen Zhong was also a True Lord, he could be called the Heavenly Lord mainly because he was one of the incarnations of the Great Emperor of the South Pole.

However, he broke his own destiny, assisted the Shang Dynasty in overthrowing the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then ascended to the Kyushu mainland, which was the upper realm.

The main reason why he cannot become an emperor is the karmic entanglement with the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, otherwise he would be promoted to the emperor level in minutes.

If it were Wen Zhong, Lu Yue felt that he should just admit defeat. There was no way to defeat a monster like the Half-Step Emperor.

This is completely different from Guan Yu, who relied on incense to get to the half-step emperor level. There is really no water in it, and he may even be able to borrow the power of the emperor. Lu Yue has no hobby of being abused.

But if it is Bian Zhuang, then everyone will compare and see who will win.

In this battle of tribulation, those who sneak in are not only those who want to obstruct Guan Yu's success, but also those like Lu Yue who want to replace him and break through the Emperor.

"Lv Zhenjun, if you have anything to say, please tell me!"

Bian Zhuang, the Marshal of Tianpeng, dressed in black, a black crown and golden armor, also walked out from the void. He casually released the Nine Heavens Killing Boy General with a burst of lightning, and then walked in front of Lu Yue.

“This is a bit nerve-wracking!”

Lu Yue felt a bit of a headache, but he was also relieved. Although the person in front of him was not easy to deal with, it was better than facing Wen Zhong in person.

"Master Bian, how many people did you bring with you this time?"

"Master Lu, I wonder how many plague gods you brought with you?"

The two True Lords pushed each other straight, but neither of them backed down. The chances of breaking through the Emperor were rare, and now that they finally saw hope, no one would give up so easily.

Sima Yi and Cao Cao looked at each other, and neither of them was willing to give in to the other.

Both sides knew that they were once again standing on the same starting line.

"Two True Lords, if that's the case, why don't we work together to clear out Guan Sheng Emperor first, and then make a final decision?"

Cao Cao took back the initiative and made a suggestion.

After all, he still has the army as a trump card, but he also knows that Sima Yi must have already taken control of those families.

He and Sima Yi basically shared control of the army in half, but at least it was still his home turf, so he had a slight advantage.

Lu Yue and Bian Zhuang hesitated for a moment and nodded. If they started a fight now, the only ones who would benefit would be the others. They were not sure how many people had joined in this chaotic situation.

At least it is certain that there are definitely more than just the two of them.

Apart from being busy with the affairs of the Fighting Department and needing to arrange the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, he probably won't be able to participate.

The Fire Department, Water Department, Pox Department, Tai Sui Department, and Wealth Department may all be involved.

After all, everyone has been stuck at the threshold of the Emperor for a long time, and in this turbulent time, who wouldn’t want to go one step further and survive the catastrophe?

Even the people from Sanmiao were involved. God knows how many people were hiding in secret.

However, before the situation became completely chaotic, Wei, Shu and Wu were always the protagonists.

"Let's go, Master Bianzhuang, we have to leave. Otherwise, once the army arrives, it will be difficult for you to escape!"

Sima Yi looked at the disappearing Cao Cao, turned back and spoke calmly to Bian Zhuang.

"Where?"

"Liaodong, that place is not often recorded, but it's actually not bad!" Sima Yi said with a smile.

Wei, Shu and Wu did divide the world into three parts in the Central Plains, but Liaodong was the force that Sima Yi personally led his troops to destroy. He was very clear that Liaodong could also be called the fourth country.

Wei, Shu and Wu would inevitably fight each other in the Central Plains with blood flowing like a river. All he had prepared was to accumulate strength in Liaodong, and then join forces with the aristocratic families to reap the aftermath.

This is also the most prudent strategy, just like what he did back then, when he outlasted everyone and then the three families returned to Jin.

"Including the Hu people, there are now five forces!"

"Haven't you figured out the power behind the Hu people yet?" Bian Zhuang asked thoughtfully.

"I can't find it at all. It could be because they are too scattered, or there could be a culprit behind it!"

On the other side, Cao Cao, who had left, returned to his own territory and mobilized his army to launch a surprise attack, but found that the place was already deserted.

"Sima Zhongda, your mind is indeed meticulous!" Cao Cao didn't hold too much hope, he just wanted to give it a try.

"King Wei, please stay!" Jia Xu appeared beside Cao Cao with a smile.

"What is the King of Wei going to do next?"

Bian Zhuang and his men were unwilling to get too involved before the situation became clear, and were at most willing to help Cao Cao face other immortals and gods.

"Did Wenhe teach me?"

Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu. He didn't know who had replaced Jia Xu, but he was probably certain that the other party came to obstruct Guan Yu.

"Why not burn our boats and fight the Battle of Red Cliffs again?" Jia Xu suggested with a smile. (End of this chapter)
