Lu Xuan's choice of Xumi Palace was not without reason. Firstly, Xumi Palace was very important to the Sikong family. Secondly, Xumi Palace's defense was relatively weaker than that of the Ascending Heaven Manor and the Insect Hall. Thirdly, Xumi Palace was close to an artificial river in the Sikong family's palace complex. Ao Ze could exert more power in this river.
As for the fourth reason, Lu Xuan did not mention it. That was, the distance between Xumi Palace and the Insect Hall was not far. Once something happened to Xumi Palace, a part of the Insect Hall's defense force would inevitably come to help. This way, the defensive force of the Insect Hall would be reduced imperceptibly.
This fourth reason, apart from heaven and earth, only two people and two beasts knew about it. They were Lu Xuan, Ning Yi, Ao Ze, and A 'Li. This was also why Ning Yi was moved by Lu Xuan's trust. After all, Ao Ze and A' Li had a very close relationship with Lu Xuan, while Ning Yi was relatively an outsider.
In the following time, Lu Xuan explained the overall battle plan to everyone in detail. This plan was the best plan that Lu Xuan and Ning Yi had deduced countless times. But even so, the success rate was less than 30%. Moreover, this 30% was based on the premise that Lu Xuan could enter the vicinity of Xumi Palace without anyone noticing.
"Okay, this is the plan. When the time comes, we will act according to the plan. Now go and inform the rest of the brothers. We will set off in three days!" After Lu Xuan finished explaining, he set off. Three days should be enough for Ning Yi to finish the matters in Heaven Saint City.
No one raised any objections. As a special envoy, Lu Xuan originally had the highest authority. Plus, there were indeed no loopholes in this plan.
First of all, he needed to give the brothers of the Anying Hall enough confidence and encouragement. After all, this was a matter of life and death. In addition, he also distributed some of the many resources that he brought from the Myriad Treasure Tower. Perhaps there was some suspicion that he was sharpening his spear at the last minute, but as the saying goes, sharpening one's spear at the last minute would shine even if it was not very bright. There were indeed several warriors who made breakthroughs in these three days. Perhaps this was also a kind of breakthrough under pressure.
On the other hand, the warriors of the Nangong Family were calmer than Lu Xuan had imagined. Everyone seemed to be very stable. Every time they saw Lu Xuan, no matter who it was, they would reveal a kind and grateful smile. This was because they had personally witnessed Lu Xuan sending their families away. They knew that their wives and children were now safe in the Jiuhua Alliance, so they had no worries. This trip to the Sikong Family was not only to help Lu Xuan, but also to take revenge. After all, many of their parents, wives, and children had died in the hands of the Sikong Family.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Many warriors streamed out of the temporary cave. More than three hundred people stood in an orderly fashion in the valley, almost filling the entire area. The two hundred people of the Anying Hall stood on the left, and the one hundred people of the Sikong Family stood on the right. There were nearly three hundred and fifty people in total.
Yi Yong and Song Jianbai took the lead and stood in front of the warriors of the Anying Hall. Nangong Lie and Nangong Tianyou stood in front of the warriors of the Nangong Family. Lu Xuan stood on a boulder in front of the crowd, and Ao Ze stood behind Lu Xuan. An austere aura quietly emanated from them. After three days of rest, everyone's aura and condition had been raised to the extreme.
"Special Envoy, the two hundred and sixteen warriors of the Anying Hall's Octagonal Holy Temple are all present. Special Envoy, please give the order!" Yi Yong shouted. Nangong Lie also cupped his hands, "The one hundred and twenty-eight warriors of the Nangong Family await Brother Lu's orders."
Lu Xuan's solemn gaze swept across the crowd. He took a deep breath. The lives of nearly three hundred and fifty people were now in his hands.
"Brothers, our enemy in this battle is the Sikong Family. I'm sure you all know better than I do how powerful they are. This time, we will have to penetrate deep into their territory and destroy their most important Xumi Temple. This will be extremely difficult!"
"Many of us will have to sacrifice our lives, myself included! But to the brothers of the Anying Hall, everything you do is for the sake of the countless people of the Alliance. I, Lu Xuan, promise that no matter what happens to any of you, as long as I, Lu Xuan, am alive, I will repay your family tenfold! Your children will receive the best training, and will enter the Jiuehua Alliance! "
"Brothers of the Nangong Family, you are now part of the Alliance. The Alliance will never forget your contributions. You are here not only for me, for the Alliance, but also for revenge! You will show the Sikong Family that even if we lose Redflame City, the Nangong Family is still the Nangong Family! In the Alliance, the Nangong Family will shine as brightly as it once did. As long as I, Lu Xuan, am alive, I will ensure the smooth development of the Nangong Family. If I break this oath, my path of martial arts will stagnate for the rest of my life! "
"Brother Lu, there is no need to make such a vow. The Nangong Family is grateful for everything you've done. If the Nangong Family declines because of this, it only means that the descendants of the Nangong Family have not worked hard enough." Nangong Lie spoke up.
Lu Xuan smiled, but didn't comment. He took a deep breath, then continued, "I have no other requests for you on this trip. I only ask that you listen to my orders! To avoid confusion, follow my orders. I will not sacrifice your lives in vain. If things go south, I will immediately announce a retreat. You can use whatever means you have to escape, and I will not hold you accountable. If things go south, you must advance bravely. Can you do this? "
"Yes!" Deafening shouts filled the entire valley.
After the pre-battle encouragement, Lu Xuan didn't waste his breath. He took out the Taiyi Cauldron and said, "Everyone, do not resist my power. I will put you all into this small cauldron. When you appear, you will appear directly in the heart of the Sikong Family. Be prepared to fight at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan immediately threw out the Taiyi Cauldron. A beam of light shone from the bottom of the Taiyi Cauldron. The gentle light enveloped everyone, and those who were enveloped by the light disappeared. In a moment, only Lu Xuan and Ao Ze, who was behind him, were left in the vast valley.
"Let's go," Lu Xuan said faintly. He seemed to be talking to himself, but it also seemed to be talking to Ao Ze.
After three days, Lu Xuan returned to Heaven Saint City again. The city was still as prosperous as before. There were endless merchants, tourists, and martial artists. This time, he didn't go to the Myriad Treasure Tower. If there were no accidents, the Myriad Treasure Tower should already be "closed for renovation" at this time.
Compared to the eastern district, the northern district of Heaven Saint City was much less crowded. This was because this was the entrance to the Sikong Family's residence. There weren't many shops there. At this moment, Lu Xuan came to a small spiritual material store in the northern district. It seemed that business was normal.
After entering the spiritual material store, a shop assistant walked to Lu Xuan silently. Then, he walked inside without saying a word. Lu Xuan slowly followed behind him. After walking inside, he saw a familiar figure.
Ning Yi cupped his hands and said, "Special envoy, everything is ready. We are only waiting for your order."
