Three days later, in the Black Sky Cult camp.
"I think we can launch an all-out attack."
At the meeting, Li Feng once again expressed his opinion, "The Shang Qing Sect is already exhausted. As long as the Hierarch and the two consecrators of the Sacred Cult join in, the eight camps will definitely be able to break the Mountain-guarding Formation!"
Qiu Zhenli replied expressionlessly, "No."
Xu Geng frowned. "Why?"
Qiu Zhenli said, "The Cult Leader's teachings are for us to break through the Mountain-protecting Formation before he appears. Who dares to disobey the Cult Leader's orders? "
Sheji chuckled. "Yes, we don't dare. Messenger Xin, you can speak to the Cult Leader. Maybe he'll be more polite to you on account of you being guests? "
Li Feng said unhappily, "I don't understand what the Cult Leader is thinking. Shangqing school is already leaderless. Whether it's military strength or top-notch experts, we're better than them. Why don't we wipe out Shangqing school in one go? Why do we have to do this kind of tedious work? "
Qiu Zhenli's eyes revealed a trace of disdain. "Messenger Xin, you know nothing about Shangqing school's array."
Sheji laughed. "Shangqing school is proficient in the Dao of Talismans. The Dao of Array derived from Talismans is unparalleled in the world. The easiest way to break Shangqing school's Mountain-protecting Formation is from the inside. You just have to destroy the array tower. But from the outside, it's more than a hundred times harder to break the array. "
Qiu Zhenli snorted and said, "Shangqing school is maintaining the array with all their strength and activating the ability to counterattack. You've seen it these days. The fiercer the external attack, the stronger the counterattack! Because the Mountain-protecting Formation absorbs a portion of our attack power and reacts it back. If the Cult Leader can't break through the Mountain-protecting Formation with one attack, he will also have to bear the counterattack! Do you think Shangqing school, as the leader of the righteous path, can be destroyed so easily? A centipede dies but never falls down! "
Sheji added, "That's why the Cult Leader ordered us to form eight camps and take turns attacking the Mountain-protecting Formation to put pressure on Shangqing school. When they are mentally exhausted, Cult Master will break the formation in one fell swoop. "
This logic wasn't difficult to understand. Just like in a siege, the low-level soldiers and cannon fodder had to take turns to go into battle, exhausting the strength of the defending army and weakening their will. Under normal circumstances, no one had ever seen a commander directly charge into a city.
Li Feng was a bit unconvinced. "Then Jiaozhu Daren is just going to stand there and watch? Not doing anything at all? "
Qiu Zhenli snorted heavily, "Messenger Xin, watch your words! Although the Hierarch didn't make a move, the effect was much better than if he did. Why do you think we besieged Shangqing school for so long, but the other righteous sects didn't even make a splash? "
Sheji chimed in, "It's all because of Sect Leader's foresight. He appears and disappears unpredictably throughout Jiangnan, causing the other sects to tremble in fear. They're afraid that when they come to support Shangqing school, Sect Leader will target their hometown!"
Qiu Zhenli looked at Li Feng's expression and calmly added, "Right now, the sect master has already set off for Penglai Island."
Li Feng cried out involuntarily, "Why?"
Qiu Zhenli said, "News came yesterday that Penglai Pavilion actually sent elites to rescue Shangqing school. According to Sect Leader's analysis, the other righteous sects should also be unable to sit still. They also know that after the Sacred Sect destroys Shangqing school, it will be their turn. Therefore, they took the risk and sent their experts to help. "
"Then what should we do?" Xu Geng hurriedly asked, "Is Sect Leader going to intercept the reinforcements?"
Sheji chuckled, "Are all of you so ignorant? You don't even understand the principle of avoiding the main force and striking the weak points. Since Penglai Pavilion has sent their elites, Penglai Island's defense must be empty. Sect Leader only needs to break Penglai Island, massacre the entire island, and discipline the other righteous sects to keep quiet out of fear. "
Qiu Zhenli said, "Sect Leader rushed to Penglai Island overnight. Within a few days, there will be good news. We will maintain pressure on Shangqing school and wait for good news. "
Suddenly, a Black Sky Sect Branch Leader rushed over to report,
"Not good, Lord Protectors!"
"What's wrong?"
"Tan Zhou Branch Leader sent an emergency report. A large number of Tianshan Sect experts passed through Tan Zhou and are rushing towards Shangqing school!"
"Bang!"
Qiu Zhenli slammed the table heavily, "Tianshan Sect is located in the remote Xijiang, thousands of miles away from Shangqing school! They actually came to get involved in this mess, how preposterous! "
Sheji said in a low voice, "No matter, Tan Zhou is still two days away. By the time the experts of Tianshan Sect arrive, Sect Leader would have already slaughtered Penglai Island. Tianshan Sect will definitely retreat in fear and return to defend their sect. "
Qiu Zhenli sighed heavily, "These righteous hypocrites have always been protecting themselves and pretending to be benevolent. Why did they suddenly change? Yesterday, Penglai Pavilion already made Sect Leader sigh. Who would have thought that Tianshan Sect would come today? "
Sheji said, "Fortunately, they are still in Tan Zhou and won't affect our plan. We just need to be prepared."
The Branch Leader's expression was a bit strange as he said in a low voice, "Protector, please calm down. There is another urgent report."
"Speak!"
"Yes! There is also a group of Jianghu martial artists of unknown origin. They are using the banner of Iron Blood Alliance and have come ashore from Dongting Lake. "
Li Feng's eyes suddenly widened, "Jianghu martial artists? Could it be that the Saint and Li Chun have successfully incorporated Jianghu martial artists and are here to help? How can it be so fast? "
"Unbelievable." Sheji was clearly a little surprised. Clearly, she was very clear about the Saint's capabilities.
Qiu Zhenli smiled, "Looks like Envoy Li Chun is quite capable."
A few days ago, Li Feng joined forces with Xu Geng and the others to kick Li Chun out of the group that besieged Shangqing school. Qiu Zhenli and Sheji, who were natives, also saw this, but they were too lazy to care.
Li Feng was very upset.
"Why don't we go and welcome him? Envoy Li Chun has done a great job this time." Sheji licked her lips.
Li Feng quickly said, "I'll go! I haven't seen my brother for many days, and I miss him. "
Sheji chuckled, and Qiu Zhenli snorted. Both of them did not object, and the matter was settled.
Everyone present did not know that Li Chun and Li Yan had failed to incorporate Jianghu martial artists. Even the news of Lv Wang's appearance had not spread!
The reason was simple. Li Chun was unwilling to admit his failure, and he did not want to be mocked by Li Feng. He also did not know that the incident at Iron Blood Cliff had been used by Lv Wang to form a blood alliance and unite the Jianghu heroes.
Li Chun was also brewing another plan, which was to save the country through a roundabout way.
As for Li Yan, he had similar thoughts as Li Chun. He was afraid that the news of failure would spread and he would be secretly mocked by the higher-ups of the Sacred Sect. The Saint who took the backdoor was also very sensitive.
