Upon hearing this, the great wizard seemed to have anticipated it, and with a slight smile, his somewhat icy gaze fell upon Tian Lu.
"If I told you that you would become the clan chief after this is done, would you still say that?"
Tianlu smiled, unconcerned about the attempt to win him over, and said, "Even if you succeed in the end, you can't guarantee that I'll stay in my position."
To be honest, he was tempted.
Having served as a subject his entire life, how could he not yearn to be a master for once?
However, there are many issues to consider, the first and foremost being how to smoothly transition power.
Of course, this transition does not refer to the continuation of the succession, but rather to forcibly taking it from the current clan leader, which will involve a very brutal battle.
Now, because he is going to attack the Great Thousand World, he has the army of most of the extraterrestrial demons under his control. Of course, the clan leader Feng Qizi is not entirely at ease entrusting such a large force to him.
At least half of the people in the army are Feng Qizi's people. After all, he has been the clan leader for so many years. He couldn't have done a good job without some cunning and scheming.
Moreover, it is highly likely that these people carry secret orders from clan leader Feng Qizi. If he truly harbored rebellious intentions, those people would definitely not stand idly by.
This is also his concern. The most crucial point is that he doesn't know who Feng Qizi's people are, which puts him in a passive position. He is in the open, while those people are outside, so he can't act openly in many ways.
"Who says I can't guarantee that?"
The great wizard sat down in the chair in front of Tian Lu, smiling as he spoke. A rosy glow suddenly appeared on his withered, almost emaciated face.
He said, "If I say that I can provide a list of the people Feng Qizi has planted in the demon army, and that I can also secretly eliminate them, then can we talk about the next step?"
Undoubtedly, this was a huge temptation for Tianlu, but he wasn't stupid; the Grand Wizard wouldn't do things for him for no reason.
What are your conditions?
“I’ve already said, my condition is to proceed with the next step of the plan,” the High Wizard said.
The so-called next step in the plan naturally refers to rebellion.
"I need to think about it carefully. Give me fifteen minutes." Tianlu hesitated for a moment.
The great wizard seemed certain of Green Society's choice that day, so he was not in a hurry. He slowly walked to the side, sat down, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing. A faint demonic aura emanated from his body and then surrounded him, forming an aura-like field.
Seeing this, Tianlu didn't say anything and went back to thinking about her own things.
How he chooses to act will determine his future trajectory, whether he rises to great heights or falls into the abyss—it all depends on his decision.
If he succeeds, he will be the supreme king; if he fails, he will be a worthless piece of trash.
With this in mind, he had to think carefully about every step he took.
Finally, he made up his mind, but when he walked up to the great wizard, the latter remained motionless, which seemed unusual, and he felt a pang of panic.
Just then, the great wizard slowly opened his eyes and chuckled to himself, "Have you thought it through?"
Tianlu awkwardly withdrew her hand. "I've thought it through, but I still want to know how you resolved those issues for me?"
The real issue is that even if he becomes the clan leader, what if his subordinates don't respect him? Even if he eventually succeeds in becoming the clan leader, if those people don't respect him, it will all be for nothing, and he might even lose his life.
There is no benefit in either direction.
"Why don't you take a gamble?" the great wizard asked.
"I'm already successful, why should I gamble? Besides, even if I succeed, it's just icing on the cake." Even though Tian Lu tried his best to hide his inner desires, the great wizard saw through him at a glance.
He chuckled to himself, stood up, and said, "Then I'll talk to you when you no longer have these worries."
Without giving Tianlu any time to consider, he left immediately, his figure disappearing into the dark darkness as if he had never existed.
"General..."
Just then, a soldier hurriedly walked in.
Green was startled that day, thinking she had been discovered. She was immediately alarmed, but when she saw that it was a servant, she visibly relaxed.
"What is it?" he asked with a stern face.
"The general previously ordered a general offensive to be launched tomorrow morning, and he will report to you every hour," the servant said.
"good……"
Tianlu nodded, then realized that this was his own plan, and couldn't help but admire his own caution, because at this moment he had already forgotten about these things, and he was going to change his plan.
If it weren't for the servants coming, he would have forgotten.
"Pass on my order: begin a period of rest and recuperation tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the servant was greatly surprised. "General, you previously said that wasting time is wasting a battle opportunity, and you should be punished according to military orders. Now you..."
This order was somewhat inconsistent, but at this moment, Tianlu had no intention of winning the battle; his mind was filled with the words of the great wizard.
Therefore, after the servant talked back, his expression turned cold in an instant, and he said, "Who else is on duty today?"
Another servant came in, cupped his hands, and said, "I am here."
"You have two tasks. First, take this servant out, collect his salary for this month, and then move him back to his hometown. Second, relay my order: the army shall rest on the spot immediately. Without my order, not a single soldier shall be mobilized."
The servant's expression changed, and he said, "General, these were all your orders. I was just following your instructions. It's not reasonable to punish me now."
Tianlu walked straight to the servant who had spoken, his gaze revealing a hint of authority.
"Do you think what I say has no effect? Or are you deliberately provoking me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant clearly felt a sharp killing intent rushing towards him.
The servant's expression changed abruptly. He truly felt the murderous intent. A surge of courage suddenly welled up within him, and he took several steps back to create distance. He shouted sharply, "How dare you! I am the clan leader's man! If you kill me, be careful of the clan leader..."
"I was originally going to spare your life, but you didn't cherish it."
At this moment, Tianlu felt utterly disgusted with the so-called clan leader, and yet these people, lacking any sense of propriety, kept mentioning the clan leader, causing him to lose his temper.
Immediately, layers of demonic energy descended, and in the blink of an eye, the servant turned into a cloud of black smoke and vanished.
“You didn’t see anything today, understand?” Tianlu said to another servant.
The servant trembled slightly, then nodded and said, "I understand."
