Chapter 2678: Chapter 2678: The Method to Steal the Stone Tablet

The Second City Lord fell silent, and the Great City Lord said, "Boss, by what you’re saying, it seems almost impossible to obtain the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. All the Guardians are stationed at the First Divine Palace, and with the First God’s powerful strength, how can we possibly get the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet right under their noses?"

"That’s exactly what I’ve been pondering!" Su Yang looked at the three Crystal Skulls. "How can we seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet right under their noses?"

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances, and the Second City Lord whispered, "Boss, they know we’re coming to snatch the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, so they’re bound to have heavy defenses. Not to mention, there must be numerous experts guarding around the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. If we rashly approach, let alone getting close to the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, even if we did touch it, we wouldn’t be able to escape. They might have thousands of strong cultivators surrounding us. How would we escape then?"

"As long as we can acquire the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, I have a way to escape!" Su Yang explained the concept of Instant Teleportation to the three of them.

The Second City Lord’s eyes lit up. "Instant Teleportation? That’s a great technique, perfect for stealing! Boss, can you teach me this method?"

Su Yang glanced at him and shook his head decisively. With their disposition, if they learned this method, who knows what kind of chaos they’d cause. Then, they would truly have enemies wherever they go, and others might not even be able to do anything about them!

"Look at you! So stingy!" The Second City Lord sneered. "It’s just a Secret Technique. What’s the big deal? Why so tightfisted?"

"I’m doing this for your own good!" Su Yang replied. "You don’t want to make enemies out of all the powerful figures in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, do you? If that’s the case, I can guarantee that even if you can Instant Teleport, you won’t survive!"

"Why? If I can Instant Teleport, who would I be afraid of?" The Second City Lord scoffed.

Su Yang cursed inwardly. This bastard had no good intentions. Learning Instant Teleportation was just a ploy to steal.

"Think about it, if everyone in the Three Thousand Great Worlds becomes your enemy, teleport from this place to another, you might still have enemies waiting for you there. Moreover, using Instant Teleportation consumes seventy percent of your power, making a second use impossible. If you teleport to another place and encounter enemies again, wouldn’t that mean your death?"

"Uh..." The Second City Lord scratched his head. "Makes some sense."

"Of course it’s reasonable!" Su Yang asserted. "I’m thinking about you here. We’re on the same side, and I don’t want to see you get killed out there!"

"Boss, your thinking is thorough!" The Second City Lord nodded repeatedly.

Su Yang: "No need for gratitude, we’re all on the same team, it’s just what I should do!"

The Great City Lord pondered for a while. "Boss, by your reasoning, we might still have a chance. If we can get the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, you can use Instant Teleportation to escape, avoiding their pursuit!"

"Exactly!" Su Yang nodded. "However, that’s the most difficult scenario, so how can we actually obtain the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?"

"What if we disguise ourselves as them? Could we get the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet then?" the Great City Lord asked.

"I think it’s unlikely!" Su Yang shook his head immediately. "The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is extremely important to them. They’re definitely guarding it with utmost vigilance, and even their own people might not be able to easily access it. Over the years, while I’ve slain some cultivators from the Immortal Palace, they were mostly marginalized figures who never set foot in the First Divine Palace. Even if we disguise ourselves as them and approach the First Divine Palace, there’s no guarantee that they won’t suspect us, and at the very least, we’d definitely have no access to the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet."

"Although that’s true, circumstances can vary!" the Great City Lord suggested. "If the First Divine Palace suddenly falls into chaos, and we then disguise ourselves as them, doesn’t that give us a chance to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet amidst the confusion?"

"Chaos?" Su Yang perked up at the idea. That indeed seemed possible.

"For instance, the three of us could go to the First Divine Palace and provoke them. They haven’t been able to catch us for so many years, so they must harbor deep hatred. Our sudden appearance would surely agitate them, and they’d think we’re there for the Stone Tablet, causing chaos!" the Great City Lord explained. "Boss, you could then disguise as someone among them, sneak in, grab the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and join us to teleport away, couldn’t you?"

Su Yang’s eyes sparkled. "That’s a feasible plan. However, you three shouldn’t be the ones going to provoke them at the First Divine Palace!"

"Why?" the Great City Lord asked curiously.

"The Guardians truly fear me, and they hate me as well. If you three provoke them, it might not impact them much, and they might not even be afraid of you. With your current strength, any of them could easily defeat you. Going there would be futile; you’d be captured instantly, failing to create any chaos!" Su Yang explained. "Hence, the best approach is for me to confront them directly, while you three disguise as the Guardians and infiltrate to steal the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet!"

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged another glance, and the Great City Lord spoke in a low voice. "Boss, the one provoking them upfront will face numerous Guardians from the First Divine Palace. It’s highly dangerous."

"Which is why it must be me!" Su Yang smiled. "With my strength, I can at least hold out for a while. They won’t be able to kill me. Besides, stealing isn’t my forte. You three are better suited for the task of snatching the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet!"

"But..." The Great City Lord hesitated, but Su Yang waved his hand dismissively. "It’s settled. I’ll find three suitable candidates for you to disguise as, and you’ll infiltrate the First Divine Palace as planned!"

Seeing Su Yang had made his decision, the three Crystal Skulls couldn’t argue further and could only agree.

Su Yang selected three individuals among the slain Guardians of the Immortal Palace. These three lived in relatively secluded areas and had minimal contact with others in the Immortal Palace. Even if Su Yang killed them, no one from the Immortal Palace would bother checking their locations. In other words, the First Divine Palace had no clue these three were killed by Su Yang.

Indeed, some marginalized individuals existed within the Immortal Palace. Over the years, Su Yang primarily targeted those marginalized. The three Crystal Skulls disguising as these individuals were quite suitable, as people in the First Divine Palace were not aware of these individuals’ circumstances, let alone distinguish their authenticity.
