Starting with Panlong, the Swallowed Star Universe

Chapter 31 Raymond's Strategy

Landis felt a little regretful when he saw Gabrielo reject Jonas. For the Bass family, eight hundred billion inkstones was not a small amount and was very tempting.

But he dared not disobey Gabriel's decision.

He thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly he suddenly heard Gabriel's telepathic message.

"Let Julian follow him."

Julian is a six-star demon elder in the Bass family. He cultivates the laws of darkness and is most skilled at tracking and stealth.

"Yes, clan chief."

Landis immediately sent a divine avatar to inform Julian.

Gabriel continued to transmit his voice: "Tell Julian to be careful and not to be discovered. If he sees Raymond, kill him immediately! Raymond's strongest divine avatar has already fallen, and he is no match for Julian now."

Landis was startled: "Chieftain, why is this?"

"Why?" Gabriel smiled faintly. "For the Butler family's wealth, of course."

"Raymond wants me to help him kill Jagger? Hah, what a joke! Jagger was just a mid-level god a few hundred years ago, and now he can kill a six-star demon. This kind of cultivation speed is rare in the entire Hell. He will most likely become a seven-star demon, or even a Hell Asura!"

"Most importantly, his strongest divine avatar is within the Purple Thorn Army. Who would dare to kill anyone from the Purple Thorn Army? His strongest divine avatar is immobile. Even if we kill his other divine avatars, what's the point? We'd just needlessly provoke a genius enemy and wait for him to retaliate later."

Landis suddenly realized.

If you're going to take action against a genius, you have to make sure you can kill their strongest divine avatar; otherwise, once they grow stronger, you'll face even more intense retaliation.

Jag's strongest divine avatar is in the Purple Thorn Army. Even a seven-star demon like Gabriel wouldn't dare to directly kill members of the Purple Thorn Army, which means the Bass family can't touch Jag's strongest divine avatar.

In this situation, if Gabrielo agrees to Raymond's request, it would be tantamount to completely offending a genius powerhouse who could potentially become a demon in the underworld.

The thought that his family might be targeted by a demon from hell sent chills down Landis's spine.

Gabriel said, "Eight hundred billion inkstones are indeed very tempting, but there is more than one way to get them. We can get this wealth by killing Raymond. Compared to Jag, Raymond, who only has a weak god avatar left, is much less of a threat. There will be no trouble after killing him."

Landis immediately replied, "The patriarch is wise! My divine avatar has already informed Julian to carefully follow Jonas and kill him as soon as he sees Raymond!"

"Yes, report to me immediately if anything happens." Gabriel nodded.

"Yes, clan chief."

……

The Butler family temporarily resides in an unnamed valley tens of millions of miles away from the Bifeng Mountains.

Jonas found Raymond.

"Patriarch, my divine avatar has already left the Bass family."

"So? Did Gabriel agree?"

"No, he refused," Jonas sighed.

"As expected." Raymond's expression remained unchanged. "Don't let your divine clone return yet. Go to Yihua City to take refuge. I suspect that the powerful members of the Bass family are following you."

"Yes, Chieftain." Jonas looked worried. "Chieftain, what should we do next? Give up on revenge and go to another prefecture to develop our power?"

The Butler family still has several five-star demon powerhouses and nearly a trillion inkstones in wealth. Even if they give up their businesses in Blue Maple City and go elsewhere, they can still survive, but they can no longer be as glorious as before and will have to start from scratch.

"Give up? No, how could I give up? Jugg killed my son and destroyed my strongest divine avatar. I must avenge this!" Raymond's eyes were filled with hatred.

"But how do we deal with Jaeger?" Jonas couldn't think of a solution.

Raymond said coldly, "It was expected that Gabrielo would not be willing to help. The powerful members of these great families have many concerns and dare not offend the Purple Thorn Army. But Hell is never short of daring adventurers. Since Gabrielo is unwilling to help, then I will give these eight hundred billion inkstones to the Demon Castle."

"Devil's Castle?"

"That's right. I'll go to Demon Castle and issue an assassination mission, hiring demons to kill Juggernaut. Eight hundred billion inkstones. I believe not only six-star demons, but even seven-star demons would be tempted." Raymond was very confident.

For powerful figures from large families like Gabrielo, they not only have to consider themselves but also their families, so they act very cautiously. After all, if something happens, even if he can escape, his family will not be able to.

But powerful lone wolves like demons are different. They have far fewer concerns about their actions and can simply escape to another continent or even another plane. Even if a powerful ruler wanted to find them, it would be extremely difficult.

The madman Akili killed Bernard's strongest divine avatar and many members of the Bauhinia Army. As a result, even powerful forces like the Bauhinia Army and the Four Divine Beasts Clan could not find him. Hell is too vast, and it is not easy to find a person.

"You all stay here, I'm going to the Demon Castle in White Pine City to issue demon quests."

"Yes, clan chief."

After giving some instructions, Raymond immediately boarded the metal lifeform and left. It would take several years to travel from here to the nearest city, White Pine, and Raymond didn't want to waste time.

Ten years later.

Crescent Moon Mountains.

Jage's main body and other divine avatars set off from Menglan City and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Zijing Army.

Centuries later, he returned, this time with ease.

He flew straight to a purple palace.

This is the headquarters of the Bauhinia Army, where captain challenge matters are handled.

"Jeg!"

"Jeg, you're back!"

There were also some Zijing Army soldiers at the palace gate, who recognized Juggernaut at a glance.

Back then, Jaeger took advantage of the squad leader selection opportunity to relentlessly challenge the six-star demons in the Purple Thorn Army, making him known to most people in headquarters.

Jag greeted everyone with a smile as he entered the palace.

Directly opposite the palace gate was a row of service counters. Jeger walked straight to an elderly man with white hair behind the counter.

"Anibal, it's been a long time."

The white-haired old man, "Anibal," chuckled when he saw Jag: "Jag, you're quick, kid. Judging by the time, you just received the news and rushed back from Dreamland City, right?"

"Of course, I can't wait! How's my challenge going? When can we schedule it?"

"Haha, it's not just you, Adolf is also very anxious."

Adolf is Jag's opponent in this challenge, a squad leader with the strength of an ordinary six-star demon.

"How about tomorrow? If you have no objections, I'll inform Adolf," Anibal said.

"No objections, arrange it immediately!"

Jag took out a blue crystal bottle from his spatial ring: "This is 'Meng Hua,' a famous wine from Menglan City. I brought it for you to try."

Anibal's eyes lit up: "We're all comrades-in-arms, no need to be so polite."

As he spoke, he put the wine bottle into his spatial ring.
