Halfway through the banquet, everyone began to relax. Everyone no longer sat in their own seats. Some acquaintances sat together and chatted. Zhao Hai, Fierce Tiger Daoist Priest, and Jie Yiming were gathered together. Next to them was Tie Shi and the others. Tie Shi and Xuan Yaozi were currently telling Zhao Hai about the situation of the past few days.
Tie Shi looked at Zhao Hai with an ashamed expression. After he finished speaking, he cupped his fist and said, "Sect Master, I've disappointed you. This time, we lost more than a thousand disciples. This is my mistake. I ask Sect Master to punish me." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Sect Master, I've disappointed you.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Treasured swords are sharpened. You led five thousand disciples to help, and although you lost more than a thousand, the remaining three thousand are the elites of the elites. Seeing such a big scene is very good for their mental cultivation. In the future, these disciples' achievements will be much higher than the average disciple. Cultivators like us go against the heavens, fighting against the heavens. Life and death, don't worry too much about it. You didn't make any mistakes in your command, aside from the fact that you underestimated the enemy on the first day, there was nothing wrong with your command. Afterwards, your command was very steady, you didn't take the enemy lightly. You did very well in this aspect, you listened very well."
Tie Shi cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Sect Master, for your generosity!" When he heard Zhao Hai, Tie Shi quickly cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Sect Master, for your generosity!"
Zhao Hai waved his hand, then he turned to Jie Yiming and said, "Island Master Jie, do you have a map of the South Sea? Can I borrow it?"
Jie Yiming nodded and said, "Of course I have a map of the South Sea. I'll give it to Sect Master Jian." After he said that, Jie Yiming turned his head and ordered a disciple of the Spirit Crab Island to take the map.
At this time, Gui Xinyu arrived at Zhao Hai's table. After the group greeted each other, Gui Xinyu sat down. She looked at everyone and said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Hai said, "We're talking about the situation of the Spirit Turtle Island. I want to take a look at the map of the South Sea."
Gui Xinyu quickly said, "I've already prepared the map. I'll send someone to get it."
Jie Yiming waved his hand and said, "I've already sent a disciple to get it. Island Master Jie, please take a seat." As he said that, a disciple of the Spirit Crab Island brought the map over.
This was a map made of animal skin. It can be seen that it was made a long time ago. Jie Yiming opened the map. This was a map of the South Sea. All 72 islands were on the map. Jie Yiming pointed to the Spirit Turtle Island on the map and said, "This is the Spirit Turtle Island, and this is the Sea Snake Island. Between these two islands, there's an area without any islands. If we fly, it would take at least five days to get there. The Sea Snake Island's people didn't declare war. They took advantage of the time when we weren't prepared and suddenly sent experts to take control of the Spirit Turtle Island's branch. Then they used the branch's transmission formation to transfer their army to the Spirit Turtle Island in the shortest time possible. Then they took control of the islands south of the island and used these islands as a base to attack the Spirit Turtle Island. Because of this, our current situation is quite passive."
Zhao Hai looked at the map, then he nodded and said, "It seems like the 39 Southern Islands were premeditated. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such thorough preparations. I want to know the distance between the islands south of the Spirit Turtle Island. How long would it take to travel underwater?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Jie Yiming couldn't help but stare. Then he turned his head to Gui Xinyu. Gui Xinyu didn't understand why Zhao Hai asked this, so he replied, "From the Divine Turtle Island's main island, the southernmost island of the Divine Turtle Island, it would take about ten days to travel underwater."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Island Lord Gui Xinyu, to the south of the Spirit Turtle Island, how many islands are suitable for the army to station? It's not just one island, it's also possible that the army would be stationed there. Which islands would it be most likely?"
Gui Xinyu replied, "This is very simple. Only Eel Island, Turtle Guard Island, and Turtle Egg Island are suitable for the army to station. This is because these three islands have water sources, making it very convenient to get water. The other islands don't have water sources. If there are only a few people, then it would be good, they can use magic to get water. But if there are a lot of people, then it would be troublesome. Additionally, these three islands are the closest to the Spirit Turtle Island. Even if they fly, it would only take them less than two hours to reach the island. They are very suitable for launching an attack. Therefore, their army should be stationed on these three islands."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Then in the south of the Spirit Turtle Island, how many islands have transmission formations?"
"That's a bit too many. There are more than 20 islands with transmission formations. These islands all have water sources and are guarded by the disciples of the Spirit Turtle Island."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stared at the map calmly. However, Fierce Tiger and Jie Yiming had cooperated with Zhao Hai several times, so they understood Zhao Hai very well. They knew that Zhao Hai didn't ask these questions in vain. Perhaps he already had a plan in mind. The two looked at each other, then Jie Yiming directly said, "Sect Master Jian, have you thought about how to deal with the people from the Three Southern Nine Islands?" Zhao Hai nodded, then Jie Yiming directly said, "Sect Master Jian, have you thought about how to deal with the people from the Southern Nine Islands?"
Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming, then at Fierce Tiger. Seeing that the two were looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The two of you are very confident in me."
Fierce Tiger smiled faintly and said, "I've seen Sect Master Jian's methods, so I'm very confident in you. Sect Master Jian, there's no need to hide anything. Tell me in detail."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "The plan is actually very simple. It's impossible for the 39 Southern Islands to send all their cultivators to attack us this time. I think you all have an idea of the number of troops they sent this time. What we need to do now is to cut off the connection between the army of the 39 Southern Islands and their islands. What do you think?"
Jie Yiming looked at the map and frowned, "Cut off the connection between them and their islands? This is easy to say, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to do. What's Sect Master Jian's plan? "
Zhao Hai replied, "It's very simple. Send a few teams to dive into the water. Have them wear formations on their bodies so that the transmission formations on the islands can't be used. The most important thing is to destroy the transmission formations on the three islands where the troops are stationed. It would be best to destroy the transmission formations on the other islands as well. This way, we can cut off their connection to the main island. When the time comes, our army will go all out and eat the troops that the southern 39 islands sent to the Divine Turtle Island." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's very simple." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "We'll send a few teams to the Divine Turtle Island.
Gui Xinyu looked at the island and frowned, "I'm afraid this won't be easy. They must have placed a lot of troops at the bottom of the sea. It won't be easy to sneak in."
"Of course it won't be easy. But this is the Divine Turtle Island's territory. If we're talking about familiarity with the terrain, I think they can't compare to the Divine Turtle Island. The Divine Turtle Island will take the lead and send their elites, preferably experts, to infiltrate these islands. Then we'll act in unison and destroy all the transmission formations on the islands at the same time. After that, our army will launch a surprise attack. I don't believe that they can resist. "
"Sect Master Jian, please explain in detail." Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he pointed at the sea map and said, "Every island has a water source, we'll send a small team. Each island will have at least one elder. The three islands where the army is stationed will be led by several elders. We'll hide in the sea during the day and come out at night. We'll be very careful. After we reach these islands, we'll wait for the others to arrive. Then we'll act in unison. At the same time, our army will move out at the same time and repel them in one fell swoop. The best time to act is at night."
Gui Xinyu and the others listened to Zhao Hai's plan. This plan didn't seem to be anything special, but the requirements for the people involved were very high. Gui Xinyu was worried that their disciples wouldn't be able to do it well.
Jie Yiming said, "But even if we hide in the sea during the day and come out at night, if the other party's defense is very tight, then I'm afraid that they will discover us."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we bring a few illusion formations, we can use them as camouflage."
Jie Yiming and Gui Xinyu looked at each other and saw a flash in each other's eyes. Finally, Gui Xinyu looked at the sea map, then she clenched her teeth and said, "Alright, let's do it. We'll do it now."
Zhao Hai said, "Our Sea Exploring Sect can provide illusion formations and barriers to make transmission formations ineffective. If there's a need for people, then our Sea Exploring Alliance can also provide them. However, the leader must be someone from the Divine Turtle Island. This is because they're the most familiar with the sea. As for the attack force, we'll choose from everyone. We must choose someone who can stay calm and not be impulsive."
"Alright, I'll go arrange it now. I'll ask Sect Master Jian to prepare the formations." Gui Xinyu stood up and said.
Their actions naturally attracted the attention of the people in the hall. The Island Masters of the other islands also came over. Gui Xinyu explained Zhao Hai's plan to them, and the Island Masters all agreed. Then Gui Xinyu went out to select people while Zhao Hai immediately began to assemble the formations.
Actually, Zhao Hai already had these formations, but he didn't take them out. Instead, he transferred them from the Sea Exploring Sect. This way, it would appear that he didn't prepare them in advance.
Soon, the candidates were selected. This time, they were divided into 28 teams. Three of them were to attack the three islands where the army was stationed. These three teams were the strongest. Each team was led by ten Elder-level characters, and each team had about 100 people. As for the remaining teams, each team had three Elder-level characters, and each team had about 20 to 50 people. Because the islands they were attacking weren't very strong, they didn't need that many people.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai gave each team three formations. The first formation was a barrier formation. After it was opened, all transmission formations within the barrier would be sealed, making them unable to be used. The second formation was an illusion formation. It was a type of camouflage formation. It can camouflage them on the seabed, making it impossible for others to discover them. The third formation was a communication formation. This formation would allow the teams to communicate with the main island. This was very important.
After all the teams were prepared, they directly entered the sea and dived towards the designated location.
