Chapter 335 Suggestions
The plot is heating up: Update! Come check out Cola Novels!
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yuyao."
Upon seeing Zhang Lingyu emerge from the crowd, the cultivators instinctively stopped in their tracks.
Although this person has only recently advanced to the Golden Core stage, their performance half a day ago was quite remarkable.
Not only did she kill Xue Yang of the Blood Flame Sect alongside Song Siyu, but she also single-handedly repelled the Green Ridge Demon King.
If it weren't for this aspect, I would have turned around and left long ago.
Furthermore, they also wanted to see what other ways there were to remedy the situation given that things had come to this point.
Didn't you see that even the Nascent Soul cultivators have given up?
"Fellow Daoist Yuyao, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. We're waiting to get back and put out the fire!"
"Yes, every second we delay increases the danger to our family and sect's foundation!"
"Your Yingchuan County is protected by Tianliu City, but we are different."
"Everyone, I know you're anxious, but if you just go back like this, do you really think you can fight off the combined attack of the demonic cultivators and the demon race?" Zhang Lingyu said in a deep voice.
If it's just a matter of offense, defending won't be a problem.
The problem is that the two have already joined forces. To put it bluntly, each sect and family basically has a Golden Core cultivator. Facing a combination of a Demon King and a Golden Core cultivator, without the support of the Six Sects, who can stop them?
The State of Chu had this plan in mind: to gradually dismantle the State of Zhao.
"What does Fellow Daoist Yuyao mean?"
"We must keep them in Yanxing County and not let them get any closer. At worst, we must keep them in Danyang County and Baoshan County."
Without wasting any words, Zhang Lingyu immediately spread out the map and pointed to it, saying:
"Yanxing County is one of the largest counties in our Zhao Kingdom. Currently, the Chu Kingdom and the demon race have broken through the passes of Qinglin Mountain and Xiaoxiu Mountain, but these passes are all close to the Wanling Mountain Range. If we want to go to Danyang County and Baoshan County, we have to cross at least half of Yanxing County."
"There are also two major sects guarding the key passages at the junction of Danyang County, Baoshan County, and Yanxing County. What we need to do now is to rush there as soon as possible and help defend the great formation."
The sect bordering Danyang County is the Iron Sword Sect, and Baoshan is the Fragrant Flower Valley. Both are Golden Core level forces. As long as they rush to assist in the defense, they can buy some breathing room.
If we hand over these two strategic passes to the State of Chu, it will be troublesome if we want to launch a counterattack later.
"Fellow Daoist Yuyao is right. We still have a chance. At the current speed of Chu, it will take at least half a day to reach the two passes. If we Golden Core cultivators set off now, we can still make it."
Master Chenxuan of the Chenyun Sect nodded and pointed to one of the spots, saying:
"Look here. If you want to go to the two passes, this place is called Thousand Blade Valley. It is both a vital passage and a fork in the road. If you want to break through the two passes at the same time, the Demon Emperor and the Nascent Soul will definitely separate here."
"And I estimate that the number of people attacking the two countries will be reduced."
After Qinglin Mountain and Xiaoxiu Mountain were captured, the Chu Kingdom and the Demon Kings could not simply ignore them and would inevitably send people to guard them to prevent the Zhao Kingdom from taking them back.
In addition, Yanxing County is large and each family has accumulated a lot of wealth. There will definitely be many demonic cultivators who break away from the group and plunder the county. Therefore, the number of teams attacking the two passes will inevitably decrease.
"Fellow Daoist Chenxuan is absolutely right."
Seeing that he immediately understood the key point, Zhang Lingyu didn't hesitate and looked at True Monarch Bai Yan and True Monarch Kui Lin, saying:
"In a moment, I would like to ask the two True Monarchs to take some fellow Daoists ahead to Thousand Blade Valley to intercept the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon Emperor and the Nether Spring Sect."
The key is to reach the two passes before the Chu Kingdom and the demon race, and to stop the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
If they can intercept them in Thousand Blade Valley for a short while, the Golden Core cultivators will be able to reach the two passes and take over the great formation. At that time, the two Nascent Soul cultivators will retreat back to the two passes and use the great formation to resist the Chu Kingdom and the demon race.
However, this was only a temporary measure. All the arrangements Zhang Lingyu made were merely to keep the Chu Kingdom and the demon race at Yanxing County, preventing them from getting any closer. It was almost impossible to completely defeat them.
Unless reinforcements arrive from other battlefields...
If the demon race and the Chu state gain an advantage in the north, and someone comes to their aid, the situation will become increasingly uncontrollable.
"Since that's the case, let's listen to Fellow Daoist Yuyao's suggestion and give it a try!" Some of the Golden Core cultivators could only grit their teeth and agree.
Now Yanxing County is definitely lost, but we can't let other counties fall as well. Whether we can stop the enemy's advance depends on this game.
After the general strategy was set, someone asked:
"In that case, should we send men to Qinglin Mountain and Xiaoxiu Mountain to retake the pass?"
"Once we take it back, we can trap those demon bastards and monster scum in Yanxing County, and then we can trap them and beat them."
In everyone's view, if these places are not reclaimed, the Chu Kingdom and the demon race can take advantage of the terrain of the Wanling Mountains to continuously replenish the number of demon beasts and demon cultivators. If this continues, the Iron Sword Sect and Flower Fragrance Valley will not be able to hold on.
After hearing this, Zhang Lingyu slowly shook his head and said:
To prevent the Zhao Kingdom from closing in and attacking them, several places in Qinglin Mountain are guarded by demon kings and golden core cultivators. The great formation of Qinglin Mountain is intact, so what can they use to attack it?
Even if we conquer the other places, without the great formation, what will we use to defend them?
When the time comes, the Chu Kingdom and the demon race will launch a pincer attack from both sides, within the Wanling Mountains and Yanxing County, resulting in even greater casualties.
Their advantage now is that they have concentrated manpower. If they split up, they won't be able to retake Qinglin Mountain, and they might even have a hard time holding onto the two passes...
"How about this: send a group of people to Qinglin Mountain and other places to harass rather than attack, forcing some of the Chu people to return to reinforce. Meanwhile, Fellow Daoist Kuilin and I will lead a group to Thousand Blade Valley to intercept Xuan You and Xue Sha, buying time for the cultivators heading to the two passes."
Bai Yan Zhenjun, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, continuing, "Once everyone has reached the two checkpoints, Kui Lin and I will retreat separately to assist in the defense."
"What about Liucheng that day?"
"Leave some people behind to guard the formation. Once we retreat to the two passes, the cultivators who went to harass Qinglin Mountain should immediately retreat to defend it."
No matter what, Tianliu City must not be lost!
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off immediately." After hearing this, True Lord Kuilin made up his mind and began to mobilize his troops.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyu interjected, expressing his concerns:
"Gentlemen, there are likely to be some changes on this trip."
"Variables? What variables?" True Monarch Kuilin raised an eyebrow and asked.
"True Lord, since Blood Dragon Stronghold was able to betray us and hand over the great formation so easily, could it be that other forces had already colluded with the Chu Kingdom, or perhaps they were simply opportunists who, seeing the Chu Kingdom's rise to power, turned around and switched sides?"
This is not alarmist; it is the truth.
Once one faction defectes to the enemy, there will be a second and a third.
The situation in the entire Zhao state is not good right now, and many people have this idea. He dares to assert that some of the Golden Core cultivators here also have this thought.
They don't need to be tied to the Six Sects.
"Lingyu...you mean..." Xuan Shui Zhenren asked hesitantly.
"Fragrant Flower Valley!"
According to intelligence reports, Huaxiang Valley, like Xuelong Village, has secretly allied itself with the Chu Kingdom.
Now we're just waiting for the army to arrive, and then we'll let everyone pass through!
