Chapter 4475: It Seems Like Child’s Play

"Brother Wei, you see it too; how can I hold on here? It's difficult!" Dong Chengji shook his head helplessly. "Just watch, it won't be long before the Heavenly Court attacks again."

"Will they?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Definitely! I estimate it will be soon…"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"…

"Enemy attack! An enemy attack!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"…"

Just as Dong Chengji finished speaking, the Heavenly Court really launched another attack.

Xiao Fan was stunned, looking at Dong Chengji in disbelief.

Good grief.

He even suspected whether this was intentionally arranged by Dong Chengji; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"You see it, right? An enemy attack…" Dong Chengji shook his head helplessly.

"I… I see it." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Sigh… it's miserable." Dong Chengji shook his head helplessly. "My days here are hard."

"It is quite difficult." Xiao Fan nodded and patted Dong Chengji on the shoulder. "Brother Dong, please accept my condolences!"

"Alright, Brother Wei! I must head to the front line! Please make yourself at home; I won't be able to entertain you." Dong Chengji gave a bitter smile.

"Alright… Brother Dong, go ahead and get busy." Xiao Fan nodded.

With the war at this stage, Dong Chengji certainly did not have time to entertain Xiao Fan.

Watching Dong Chengji leave, Xiao Fan sighed. Judging by the current situation, the Heavenly Court truly considered this a key target.

But why didn't the Ghost Mansion send anyone over?

Is the Ghost Mansion out of people?

Impossible!

How could the Ghost Mansion be out of people?

"Wait! Could it be…"

Suddenly, Xiao Fan thought of something else; it was entirely possible that the Ghost Mansion was indeed out of people.

The Nether Ghost Mansion manages Reincarnation, and those remnant souls unwilling to enter Reincarnation would later be captured by the Soul-Detaining Envoy of the Nether Ghost Mansion.

With a war of this scale breaking out now, the number of deaths must be unimaginable…

The Ghost Mansion needed to deal with the Heavenly Court while also ensuring the normal continuation of Reincarnation.

Otherwise, the Ghost Mansion would fall into chaos first…

"Could this be the Heavenly Court's plan…" Xiao Fan muttered, suddenly realizing something.

Xiao Fan's figure vanished as he followed Dong Chengji's Qi.

Soon, Xiao Fan arrived at the front line of the East War Zone and caught sight of Dong Chengji.

Dong Chengji held a ghost-head broadsword in his hand, erupting with a shocking aura, clearly possessing the strength of the Peak of the ninth layer of the Emperor Lord Realm.

Behind Dong Chengji was a group of experts from the Ghost Mansion, currently engaged in battle with formidable enemies from the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court's side was not weak either, but their faces were all unfamiliar; Xiao Fan did not recognize a single one.

The Heavenly Court's side was fearless in the face of death, charging forward one by one…

However, due to Dong Chengji's bravery, the people from the Heavenly Court were unable to cross the line even by a single step.

Xiao Fan did not intervene, but silently watched the battle…

Soon, Xiao Fan discovered something amiss: "No wonder…"

Xiao Fan suddenly realized that while the people from the Heavenly Court were fighting, some were secretly capturing remnant souls.

These captured remnant souls would undoubtedly become assets for the Heavenly Court later.

The reason the Heavenly Court dared to keep fighting was not because they were stronger than the Ghost Mansion, but because the Ghost Mansion needed to maintain the stability of Reincarnation, whereas the Heavenly Court grew stronger the more they fought…

The Ghost Mansion simply could not block the Heavenly Court's offensive, but the Heavenly Court was not using its full strength; they were just wearing them down bit by bit.

After capturing the remnant souls, it wouldn't be long before they became combatants for the Heavenly Court.

"Could it be… that they aren't planning to find a weak point, but are letting the Ghost Mansion think they are, while actually aiming to wear the Ghost Mansion down to death?" Xiao Fan muttered, suddenly understanding everything.

The Heavenly Court's plan was to confuse the Ghost Mansion and then weaken it point by point. After all, the Heavenly Court's current situation was that they grew stronger the more they fought… while the Ghost Mansion had too many concerns, causing it to grow weaker and weaker.

The current situation was unfavorable for the Ghost Mansion.

But would the upper echelons of the Ghost Mansion not know about this?

Would the Ghost Lord not be aware of it?

Yet why had the Ghost Lord not made a move?

With the Ghost Lord's strength, if he were to act, he would surely be invincible and could wipe out the forces of the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop.

Why not act?

"No… there must be something else going on." Xiao Fan muttered, feeling that this war, from its outbreak until now, seemed like child's play.

The Ghost Lord did not seem anxious; was he not in a hurry because he was confident?

What about the Heavenly Court?

Why did they take action without being completely certain of victory?

Were they just planning to wear them down silently?

Were they not worried that the Ghost Lord would intervene and easily destroy them?

If the Ghost Lord were to act, Xiao Fan believed that those below the Emperor Lord Realm would definitely be unable to save their lives, and might not even be able to use any life-saving measures!

As for those at the Emperor Lord Realm, whether they could survive would depend entirely on luck…

But under such circumstances, why were the Heavenly Court and the Ghost Mansion in this state?

It's bizarre!

It's too bizarre!

It left Xiao Fan completely unable to understand the reason behind it.

"Strange, it's truly strange…" Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.
