Ling Tianyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying nothing more.
However, Jiang Ke and the Prison Tower Sect Master grew anxious. The more they were prevented from deploying troops, the more it indicated the necessity of doing so.
If not now, then when?
"True Martial, now is the perfect time to deploy troops," Jiang Ke reminded Ling Tianyu. "The more they deceive, the more they hide their true intentions, even pretending to attack in one place while striking another. They fear you are obstructing their plans to act."
"They fear you, Emperor Mountain, will hinder their actions."
Ling Tianyu merely smiled and said, "It's already too late."
"Too late?" Jiang Ke and the others were bewildered by his words. What did he mean by too late? The operation was still ongoing, and by deploying troops now, they might prevent further action.
