Chapter 1261 Plans within plans
"Look, I\'ll say it one more time. Things don\'t have to get ugly. Just hand over Damian William and we\'ll just go our separate ways. None of this has to get ugly."
For a few moments more, the two Heavenly Immortals did not respond, as if deliberating. But then they smiled.
"Little Lex, I already told you once. You\'re in over your head."
Jeffrey\'s figure suddenly disappeared from the illusory Lex\'s hands, and appeared next to the two Heavenly Immortals. He was still tiny in stature, but his entire demeanor had changed. He no longer looked panicked and on the verge of a mental breakdown. Instead, he looked completely calm, as if everything was playing out according to his plan.
The atmosphere around the planet suddenly turned a light shade of red as a formation activated and covered the planet, trapping Lex within completely. On top of that, incredibly powerful spirit senses began sweeping the planet, searching for where his real body was hidden.
"You were planning this?" Lex asked curiously, though his expression did not change, nor did that of the devil beside him. In fact, the devil summoned a Pina Colada with a bright pink umbrella in the glass and began to sip from it.
"You\'re a scary guy, Lex," Jeffrey admitted honestly. "It takes a lot to scare me, and you did it, which means I never took you lightly for even a second. You know that seal inside my mind you tried to look through? I can hide my consciousness behind it as well. So while my outer consciousness was a bumbling buffoon, my inner consciousness was arranging everything. I was completely confident that you\'d find a way to track me. Even if you didn\'t, it\'s not like I lost anything. Turns out, my plan was a success."
Lex smiled. It seems like while he was planning in secret, so was Jeffrey. Now it would come down to who had planned more thoroughly.
"You\'re over confident Lex. Just because the organization that supports you has a single Dao Lord, you think you\'re all that. But we\'re not even scared of the Henali as a whole, what makes you think you can do anything to us?"
Lex did not answer, and instead just kept looking at Jeffrey.
"And you," the cocky wyvern said, looking at the devil. "We have a non-interference deal with devils, which means you have no backing whatsoever. Even if we kill you, no one from whatever your background is will come looking for us. You just signed your own death warrant."
Yet even with the threats, neither Lex nor the devil looked too concerned.
"Ah, it looks like you got me," said Lex. "You outsmarted me, and I was too arrogant for my own good. Is this the part where you bring out Damian so that he can watch as you kill me?"
Lex looked left and right as if searching for Damian. The devil beside him just chuckled at the antics.
"Laugh all you want Lex," Jeffrey said, suddenly becoming angry. "You won\'t be laughing for long."
"Let me ask you a question, Jeffrey?" Lex said casually.
"We have a lead on his location," Bairsh interrupted, and teleported them away. Yet no matter where they teleported to, Lex\'s illusion was a set distance away from them, as if curiously watching them search.
"Like I was saying, let me ask you a question. Is that division in your consciousness what gives you the confidence that this is not an illusion?"
Jeffrey snorted.
"You cannot even begin to fathom what the seal within my spirit does. Your illusions are a joke in front of it."
"Oh really?" Lex asked, with a raised eyebrow. Jeffrey, who was putting up a strong front, suddenly started to feel bad, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"He\'s right there," the Heavenly immortal said, and smashed an entire mountain into rubble. Yet even so, Lex was not discovered, making both the immortal frown. Jeffrey wasn\'t paying attention though. He was still looking at the illusion of Lex.
"What if I told you that you\'re still in an illusion?" Lex asked softly.
"Wait, I\'ve found him for real this time," said Bairsh again, bringing the group with them.
"It\'s impossible. You can\'t replicate this place in an illusion."
"Oh, can\'t I?" Lex asked softly, and raised his hand into the sky. "If this is not an illusion, then it would be pretty strange if I could… let\'s say, summon the lightning tribulations once more, without being the target of it."
Bairsh destroyed another mountain, but Lex was still not there.
Above the illusions hands, black clouds started to appear, floating towards the sky.
"These are just tricks. You can\'t really…" Jeffrey began, but his words were caught in his throat when the sound of thunder rumbled across the planet, and he felt the familiar aura of a lightning tribulation.

Everyone looked up, and the sky was red no more, instead covered in black lightning clouds. The sound of thunder roared across the planet, like the steady beat of a war drum right before a battle.
Jeffrey started to hyperventilate. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"If this is not an illusion, it would be pretty odd if, say, I just summoned a suit wearing dragon to fight for me," Lex whispered, yet Jeffrey heard the words like thunder in his mind.
The dragons hated Lex. They would never work with him! Never!
"I\'ve found him this time!" Bairsh exclaimed, and launched an even stronger attack against another mountain. Yet before it could land, a massive claw appeared in thin air, blocking the attack as if it was blocking the wind.
A very handsome looking dragon wearing a dashing suit appeared in front of them, out of thin air.
"You\'re right. This totally can\'t be an illusion," Lex chuckled.
