Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 265 Wang Jianʼs Faction Faces Another All-Out Attack Of Devil Forces

After resolving the situation with the Empress and the Second Queen, Wang Jian swiftly returned to his palace using the Teleportation Formation before making his way back to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Silver Masked Group, led by Su Xian and Bixi Shuyan, had become highly acclaimed throughout the Empire, winning the hearts of the general populace with their heroic deeds.

On the other hand, the Black & Crimson Masked Groups, led by Fen Shuying and Kang Huian, had gained notoriety for their actions of looting the factions of the Crown Prince and the Second Princess.

This had put them on the radar of the Law Enforcement Organizations, forcing them to discard their masks and lay low for a while.

Turning to Wang Jian for guidance, they sought his counsel on their next steps. He instructed them to target a few more strategic sites marked by Su Xianʼs group before rejoining him on the battlefield to confront the devil forces.

The blow dealt by the Black & Crimson Masked Groups would prove to be a significant setback for the Crown Prince and Second Princessʼs factions, weakening their strength and reducing their resources.

As for Su Xianʼs faction, Wang Jian had a grander plan. He encouraged her to continue her valiant efforts, aiming to elevate her groupʼs reputation even further.

Once they reached the pinnacle of fame, he suggested that they publicly declare their alliance with Wang Jianʼs faction to combat the looming threat of the devils.

With the Silver Masked Groupʼs reputation soaring, Wang Jian intended to leverage their renown to enhance the standing of his own faction.

As events unfolded on the battlefield, the devil forces made a daring move by sending an envoy to the Crown Princeʼs faction, seeking to negotiate the release of Zyrithia, the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clanʼs Heiress.

However, much to their dismay, the Crown Princeʼs faction, despite its significant political influence, was not in possession of Zyrithia.

Following the information shared by Wang Jian, the Emperor Realm experts had reason to believe that Zyrithia was being held in a guarded convoy en route to the capital, where she would be under the custody of the Emperorʼs faction.

Due to this revelation, the Crown Princeʼs faction found themselves unable to engage in negotiations for Zyrithiaʼs release.

They had no choice but to let the envoy return empty-handed, much to the devil forcesʼ frustration.

In response to this perceived defiance, the devil forces intensified their attacks on the Everlasting Mystical Empire.

The battles grew more ferocious and intense, with casualties mounting on both sides.

However, the Empire suffered significantly greater losses, bearing the brunt of the devil forcesʼ onslaught.

Unbeknownst to the devil forces, the Crown Princeʼs faction was secretly hatching a masterful plan—a massive trap that would turn the tide of the war in their favor.

Their ingenious strategy revolved around a Four Violet Emperor Barrier Formation.

Four of the Crown Princeʼs most formidable Emperor Realm experts were entrusted with the task of erecting a powerful barrier designed to thwart the entry of any opposing Emperor Realm experts.

As the devil forces unknowingly stepped into this seemingly ordinary formation, they would soon realize the true extent of its power—it was designed to prevent any enemy Emperor Realm experts from entering.

In that moment of realization, the trap would spring shut, and the hidden Emperor Realm experts of the Crown Princeʼs faction would reveal themselves, launching a devastating onslaught that would obliterate the unsuspecting devil forces trapped within the barrier.

To execute this brilliant strategy flawlessly, the Crown Princeʼs faction had to carefully orchestrate their actions.

They cunningly portrayed themselves as being at a disadvantage, deliberately allowing the devil forces to gain the upper hand.

By feigning weakness and retreat, they sought to boost the overconfidence of their adversaries to an all-time high.

The devil forces were to be lured into a false sense of security, convinced of their imminent victory.

Only then could the trap be sprung with maximum effect.

As the war raged on, the Crown Princeʼs faction played their part meticulously, deliberately appearing as though they were struggling against the relentless assaults of the devil forces.

They endured losses and setbacks, all the while carefully orchestrating the illusion of their own vulnerability.

As the Crown Princeʼs faction executed their daring trap, they understood the immense risks it entailed. The safety of the four Emperor Realm experts, crucial to maintaining the barrier, became their top priority. Even a single loss among them would unravel the entire plan.

In the fierce battle that ensued, the Crown Princeʼs faction had to devote all their efforts to safeguard these vital experts, and some of their own Emperor Realm warriors suffered severe injuries in the process.

Yet, the results were nothing short of spectacular.

The trap ensnared a significant portion of the devil forces, and the Crown Princeʼs faction emerged victorious from the dayʼs ferocious battle.

It was a hard-won triumph that justified the risks taken.

With their momentum building, the Crown Prince turned his attention to the remaining formidable adversaries—the Devil Emperors and the Human Emperor Realm experts among the enemy ranks.

To secure victory, he sought aid from his siblings, Second Princess Wang Yingʼs faction, and Seventh Prince Wang Jianʼs faction.

Given the Crown Princeʼs factionʼs impressive achievements and their steady progress in the war against the Devil Forces, it was only natural for Wang Jianʼs and Wang Yingʼs factions to lend their support.

Failure at this crucial juncture could place the blame squarely on their shoulders.

Wang Yingʼs faction promptly dispatched an Emperor Realm expert to reinforce the Crown Princeʼs faction, recognizing the importance of their unity in this dire situation.

However, Wang Jianʼs faction opted not to send immediate assistance.

Instead, they sent a messenger to provide a rational explanation—currently, they could only spare three Emperor Realm experts, who were essential in defending their faction against the ferocious devil attacks, particularly due to their capture of Zyrithia, the Clan Heiress of the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan.

Wang Jianʼs decision was met with mixed feelings by the Crown Princeʼs faction.

On one hand, they understood the precariousness of Wang Jianʼs position and the need to protect his own faction.

On the other hand, they couldnʼt help but feel a sense of disappointment at the lack of direct support during this crucial juncture.

After the massive battle, the devil forces decided to take a daring approach to achieve their goals.

They hatched a plan to completely destroy one of the royal princeʼs factions and then negotiate for the princeʼs life in exchange for Zyrithiaʼs freedom.

Choosing their target carefully, they ruled out the Crown Princeʼs faction, recognizing its overwhelming strength and unstoppable momentum.

The second princessʼs faction was also deemed unsuitable due to its formidable defenses, equipped with powerful artifacts capable of dealing with hordes of devils in one fell swoop.

An attack on her faction would be too risky and might lead to catastrophic consequences for the devil forces.

Instead, the devil forces set their sights on Wang Jianʼs faction.

They believed that this faction had been weakened significantly by the continuous battles with their forces, leaving them vulnerable and isolated.

This time, the devils planned an all-out assault, confident that Wang Jianʼs faction wouldnʼt have the time to call for support from other factions.

Their previous attempt to attack Wang Jianʼs faction had failed, as it had been too predictable, driven by the need to save Zyrithia.

This time, however, they were more cunning and strategic, aiming to catch Wang Jianʼs faction off guard and deliver a devastating blow.

As the day of the devilsʼ all-out attack on Wang Jianʼs faction drew near, Ye Chen devised a daring plan to eliminate Wang Jian before he could activate his domain.

He believed that he would have the upper hand as long as he could prevent Wang Jian from using his powerful domain ability.

When the assault commenced, the devils wasted no time in employing precious artifacts to neutralize the barrier that had once kept them at bay. With the barrier temporarily disabled, a relentless tide of demons surged forth, launching ferocious attacks at Wang Jianʼs faction.

Even Wang Jian was caught off guard by the sudden and fierce onslaught, but his quick thinking and strategic mind kicked into action.

He immediately issued orders to Yue Yanling and Grand Elder Yi, instructing them to do their utmost to hold back the Devil Emperors, the most formidable adversaries on the battlefield.

Without a moment to spare, he swiftly snatched Zyrithiaʼs body and tapped into his peak-level insights of the Shadow Element and the Moonshadow Step.

Employing the Moonshadow Stepʼs extraordinary speed, he carried Zyrithia away from the chaotic camp.

Once at a safer location, Wang Jian summoned the Black Castle. Well, he had to utilize 2000 Destiny Points to teleport the Black Castle to his position, but it was worth the cost.

Placing her within the impenetrable confines of the Black Castle, he made certain that she couldnʼt escape. Wang Jian teleported the Black Castle back to its original position in the Windhaven Kingdom.

With Zyrithia taken care of, Wang Jian adorned his robe and mask, unleashing his full power to confront the devil forces that had recklessly chosen to target his faction.
