Ji Tianxing gave a series of orders to Patriarch Pine Crane.
The main content of the orders was to strengthen the defenses of Ancient Pine grotto-heaven and not give the enemy scouts a chance to infiltrate.
In order to make the act more realistic, all the guards guarding the entrance of Ancient Pine grotto-heaven withdrew into the grotto-heaven.
The formation at the entrance of the grotto-heaven was also closed, as if they were going to defend Ancient Pine grotto-heaven to the death.
This was the only way to make the army dispatched by Commander Styx believe that the Pine Crane clan had no confidence in facing Commander Styx head-on even with the secret help of the four clans.
The second point was that the three thousand plus disciples of the Pine Crane clan had to participate in this battle.
Moreover, the two thousand plus captives imprisoned in the prison had to be scattered and mixed into the Pine Crane clansmen's groups.
Only this kind of mixed army, divided into several groups, would not cause chaos.
The third point was that Ji Tianxing would personally set up another formation near the entrance of Ancient Pine grotto-heaven.
With the Pine Crane clan's Godking and the four clan patriarchs, it would only take a few hours to complete.
The most important point was that Ji Tianxing would still conceal himself in this battle. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not reveal his true identity.
Regardless of whether Commander Styx's side was suspicious or not, he had to delay as much as possible.
The longer Commander Styx saw through it, the easier it would be for his side to win, and the smaller the price they would have to pay.
After listening to Ji Tianxing's orders, Patriarch Pine Crane understood his plan and thought process.
This time, the second army dispatched to deal with Commander Styx would fight in Ancient Pine grotto-heaven.
He was deeply puzzled and could not help but ask, "Lord Kenshin, didn't we set up a formation outside the grotto-heaven?
Why not set up an ambush inside the formation to deal with the second army?
Why do you have to work so hard and waste so much effort to set up a formation inside the grotto-heaven? "
In the previous battle, Patriarch Pine Crane had tasted the sweetness of victory and also witnessed Kenshin's terrifying strength.
With the experience of success, he naturally wanted to follow the prescribed order and replicate the success and victory of the last time.
However, Ji Tianxing shook his head and explained, "Last time, the eight thousand strong army was not on guard. Of course, it was easy to deal with them.
But this time, the second batch of soldiers was very vigilant and alert. They would not be easily ambushed.
Furthermore, the number of enemy troops this time would definitely exceed ten thousand, perhaps even double the previous number.
This was a crucial battle for Commander Minghe to save face and intimidate the Reincarnation Island. They could only win and not lose.
Therefore, I will put them into the Ancient Pine Grotto, and then try to kill them.
By doing so, we can also prevent the fish from escaping the net from leaking the news and my whereabouts … "
After listening to Ji Tianxing's explanation, Patriarch Song He finally understood the reason, and he couldn't help but nod in admiration. "Lord Kenshin is indeed far-sighted. His considerations are so comprehensive that not even a drop of water can leak out.
It was this old man who was slow-witted. Please don't blame me. "
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "Go and carry out your mission."
Patriarch Song He didn't waste any more time. He quickly bowed and left to pass on the order.
After a short half an hour, the guards guarding the entrance of the grotto had all retreated back to Ancient Pine Grotto, and the defensive array of the grotto's entrance was also closed.
At the same time, more than three thousand six hundred Pine Crane clan members had all gathered in the square.
More than two thousand captives locked up in the prison had also arrived near the square.
Under the command of Patriarch Song He and several elders, more than two thousand five hundred captives began to integrate into the ranks of the Pine Crane clan members.
Everyone carried out the order with high efficiency. In less than half an hour, they had completed the integration of six thousand and two hundred soldiers. They were temporarily divided into three teams, and were on standby in the square.
Next, Patriarch Song He and several elders led these soldiers to the vicinity of the grotto's exit.
The area within twenty thousand miles of the exit was a flat grassland covered with green grass and wild flowers.
Ji Tianxing had already led the four patriarchs of the Hidden Dragon clan, Fang clan, and the others to set up a divine array here.
Ji Tianxing stood high in the sky and cast a spell. His entire body was shrouded in blazing white divine light, and no one could see his face and figure clearly.
The four patriarchs and four elders stood in different positions, casting spells according to Ji Tianxing's instructions.
After Patriarch Song He arrived with the army, he quickly joined the team that was setting up the grand array.
Under the command of him and several elders, the six thousand and two hundred soldiers spread out, occupying the various nodes and positions of the array, and began to cast spells together.
With the addition of the six thousand and two hundred soldiers, Ji Tianxing's speed in setting up the divine array was obviously several times faster.
This time, the divine array he was going to set up was more marvelous and grander than the one he had set up outside the grotto.
After all, there were more enemies to deal with this time, and they would be more powerful.
Ji Tianxing was still setting up a high grade King level divine array, but with three grand arrays stacked together, its power was closer to that of a high grade King level divine array.
Even if a Peak Divine King was trapped inside, it would be difficult for him to escape in a short period of time.
In other words, even if Commander Minghe and the Blood Prison Marshal were to come personally, as long as they were trapped in the grand array, they would be buried here.
Time passed quietly.
Unknowingly, eight hours had passed.
This even more exquisite and magnificent formation, which covered an area of twenty thousand miles in radius, was finally completed successfully.
Everyone stopped casting spells and followed Ji Tianxing's orders, meditating where they were to recover their divine power as soon as possible.
Next, all they had to do was wait.
Patiently wait for the arrival of the second army.
…
At the same time.
The five hundred assassins of the Hidden Death Group quietly arrived near Ancient Pine grotto.
They were well-trained and cooperated very well. They quickly spread out and investigated the situation within a hundred thousand miles of the grotto.
As long as there were any clues, these assassins would not let go of them.
The tense and oppressive four hours passed.
After repeated searches, the five hundred assassins finally checked the area within a hundred thousand miles, and confirmed that the area around the entrance of Ancient Pine grotto was safe.
Moreover, the two Mid Divine King assassin commanders also felt that something was amiss.
They felt that there was something wrong twenty thousand miles away from the entrance of the grotto, and there was an unnatural power.
However, they were not strong enough to find out the reason, and could only report it to the Blood Prison Marshal.
After another six hours, the Blood Prison Marshal finally arrived with his army.
The nine Divine Warships stopped in the sky and remained invisible.
The Blood Prison Marshal led more than twenty Divine Kings to personally investigate that strange place.
After everyone brainstormed and investigated repeatedly, two hours later, the Blood Prison Marshal finally came to a conclusion.
Twenty thousand miles away from the entrance of the grotto, there was a High King Grade grand array with a radius of ten thousand miles!
The towering mountains and forests they saw were all illusions created by the grand array.
In reality, the area within ten thousand miles had experienced a great battle and had long been scorched and ruined!
This result made the Blood Prison Marshal and the others excited.
They immediately concluded that this grand array was set up by the five ancient clans.
The four Divine Generals of Samsara and the eight thousand soldiers were ambushed here!
