Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "I've only been here for a short while, so there are many things that I don't know. I dare not speak carelessly."
"According to the records of my clan, human cultivators are extremely intelligent and adept at scheming. Brother Xiao, you don't have to be so courteous."
It was not that Xiao Lingyu was unwilling to offer a plan, but he really did not have a good plan to deal with the Dorsal Fin Clan's crisis.
However, if he could not come up with a useful plan, Xiao Lingyu was worried that Ji Yuan would harm him. According to the prophecy of the Dorsal Fin Clan's prophet, he could bring about the revival of the Dorsal Fin Clan. It was precisely because of this that Ji Yuan was so courteous to him. If he could not show any value at this time, Ji Yuan might attack him.
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Rather than waiting for death, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"
Ji Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He asked, "Our Dorsal Fin Clan has suffered heavy casualties this time. We've lost ninety percent of our elites. How can we take the initiative to attack?"
Xiao Lingyu replied, "It's precisely because your clan's situation is not good that we have to take the initiative to attack. The other nearby clans must be calculating their own losses. They should not know about the Dorsal Fin Clan's casualties. This is especially true for the powerhouses of those clans. Even if they managed to escape, they will still have lingering fears. The Dorsal Fin Clan's initiative to attack will be beyond their expectations. It will make it even harder for them to figure out the Dorsal Fin Clan's true situation. Moreover, no matter who the Dorsal Fin Clan attacks, the party being attacked will respond with a defensive stance. They will not be able to receive support from the other clans. The other clans will only watch from the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. Peace … can only be won through war! "
Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Brother Xiao's words are reasonable. It's always better to face one clan alone than to face the siege of many clans at the same time. If our Dorsal Fin Clan does not take action immediately, once the surrounding clans form an alliance, even if we have Divine Spiritual Treasures, we won't be able to resist. "
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment before asking, "How many Saint God powerhouses does your clan still have?"
Finyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm the only one left. If it weren't for the fact that the number of experts in my clan is gradually dwindling and our clan is in a precarious state, I wouldn't have taken such a huge risk and led an army of several dozen races into the territory of the Dorsal Fin Clan."
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and asked again, "What is the current realm of the Fin Clan Leader?"
Ji Yuan replied honestly, "I'm only a step away from the advanced Saint God stage, but with the help of the Divine Spirit Treasure, I believe that it won't be long before I reach the advanced Saint God stage. Without the Divine Spirit Treasure, I, the last Saint God of the Dorsal Fin Clan, will likely die while trying to break through to the advanced Saint God stage. Without the deterrence of the Saint God, the Dorsal Fin Clan will very quickly be swallowed up by other races."
Xiao Lingyu continued to ask, "With the help of the Divine Spirit Treasure, how many Saint Gods can Patriarch Ji deal with?"
Ji Yuan calculated silently and said, "I can easily defeat three early-stage Saint Gods without using a Divine Spiritual Treasure, easily defeat a mid-stage Saint God, and fight two mid-stage Saint Gods to a draw. If I use a Divine Spiritual Treasure, no matter how many Saint Gods there are, I can guarantee that I won't be defeated for a short period of time. However, anything can happen on the battlefield. None of the experts who have reached the Saint God stage are easy to deal with. "
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a long time before he suddenly asked, "With the Dorsal Fin Race's current strength, can they exterminate a race that's slightly weaker than them in a flash?"
Ji Yuan was clearly a little surprised. After being stunned for a moment, he replied, "If it was in the past, it would definitely be extremely difficult. However, it should be possible to give it a try now. After all, the nearby races have suffered heavy losses when they invaded our clan. Many of their experts are also injured."
Xiao Lingyu stroked his chin and said indifferently, "Patriarch Ji, pick a weaker race and reorganize the experts in the clan before mobilizing the army. No matter how heavy the losses the Dorsal Fin Clan suffered, this attack must be grand and mighty. We must bring out our strongest battle strength!"
Perhaps because of the existence of the prophecy, Ji Yuan still trusted Xiao Lingyu. After his conversation with Xiao Lingyu, he really went to mobilize the Dorsal Fin Clan's battle strength.
Xiao Lingyu sighed deeply, secretly thankful that he had passed this hurdle by a fluke. In truth, he didn't have much confidence in the strategy he had just mentioned. However, he could only take one step at a time and pray that the prophecy wasn't something the Dorsal Fin Clan's prophet had used to fool the descendants of the Dorsal Fin Clan.
The reorganization of the army took less than two years. After all, the elites of the Dorsal Fin Clan were gathered in the vicinity, so it wasn't difficult to mobilize them.
Under Ji Yuan's lead, almost all of the Dorsal Fin Clan's elites were mobilized and they charged towards the north.
To the north of the Dorsal Fin Clan was a race called the Black Rakshasa Race. Their strength was originally on par with the Dorsal Fin Clan, but the Black Rakshasa Race had also participated in the invasion of the Dorsal Fin Clan. However, apart from a Saint God expert who managed to escape, the rest of the Black Rakshasa Race's army had died to the might of the Ancient Formation of Water and Earth.
Even the Saint God from the Black Rakshasa Race who managed to escape was seriously injured. However, the Black Rakshasa Race still had a Saint God.
After marching for nearly a hundred years, the Dorsal Fin Clan's army finally reached the northern border. After a few days of reorganization, the army resolutely charged into the Black Rakshasa Race's territory.
The Black Rakshasa Race had naturally received news of the Dorsal Fin Clan's large-scale attack long ago. They had actively mobilized their troops and were waiting for the Dorsal Fin Clan's army to arrive at Luo Nan City.
However, the Black Rakshasa Race had already taken away all of the troops they could easily mobilize when they invaded the Dorsal Fin Clan. Now that the Dorsal Fin Clan was about to launch a counterattack, the Black Rakshasa Race's territory was not small. Many of their powerful troops were unable to gather at Luo Nan City in such a short period of time.
Although the Black Rakshasa Race had expected the Dorsal Fin Clan to launch a counterattack, they had not expected the Dorsal Fin Clan to choose to attack them first. After all, the Dorsal Fin Clan was surrounded by several dozen other races.
The Dorsal Fin Clan wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible. As such, their army headed straight for Luo Nan City. In less than three months, they had completely surrounded Luo Nan City.
In a large-scale war like this, the city walls were extremely insignificant. Under the bombardment of the Dorsal Fin Clan's army, the four walls of Luo Nan City only lasted for an hour before they all collapsed.
An intense clash ensued. However, the Black Rakshasa Race was completely surrounded and their numbers were far smaller than the Dorsal Fin Clan's army. The situation was extremely grim.
The Black Rakshasa Race could only hope that their Saint God would emerge victorious.
Unfortunately, one of the two Saint Gods of the Black Rakshasa Race had yet to recover from his injuries. Even though the other Saint God was in peak condition, they were still no match for Ji Yuan.
In order to cooperate with Xiao Lingyu's plan to take down the Black Rakshasa Race with lightning speed, Ji Yuan immediately used his Divine Spirit Treasure. The blue bubble released from his gourd killed the Black Rakshasa Race's Saint God on the spot.
Although Ji Yuan had expended a lot of energy after using his Divine Spirit Treasure, he was still able to easily defeat the severely wounded Black Rakshasa Race's Saint God. However, he was unable to kill the severely wounded Black Rakshasa Race's Saint God.
With the Saint God defeated, Luo Nan City naturally fell. The Black Rakshasa Race cultivators guarding Luo Nan City were all slaughtered by the Dorsal Fin Clan's army.
With Luo Nan City's fall, the vast territory of the Black Rakshasa Race was naturally opened up to the Dorsal Fin Clan's army.
Over the course of several hundred years, the Dorsal Fin Clan's army swept through the territory of the Black Rakshasa Race as they pleased. They slaughtered countless Black Rakshasa Race cultivators and plundered countless cultivation resources at the same time.
During these years, Xiao Lingyu had always followed the army, but she had never personally participated in any battles. Instead, she had only quietly refined her Saint Artifact.
When the Dorsal Fin Clan's army was on their way back, Ji Yuan captured the severely wounded Black Rakshasa Race's Saint God alive and forced him to swear allegiance to the Dorsal Fin Clan on behalf of the entire Black Rakshasa Race.
From then on, the Black Rakshasa Race became a subordinate race of the Dorsal Fin Clan.
After the Dorsal Fin Clan's army returned to the northern border, they rested for a short period of time before setting off again...
Over the next few thousand years, the Dorsal Fin Clan continued to wage war everywhere. Although they had only managed to exterminate two weaker races, the surrounding races were still unable to live in peace.
The Dorsal Fin Clan's powerful counterattack caused the other races that had previously attacked the Dorsal Fin Clan to feel extremely uneasy. They no longer knew the true strength of the Dorsal Fin Clan. They only knew that Saint God experts had been killed by the Dorsal Fin Clan's Saint God one after another.
The deaths of Saint God experts had truly intimidated the experts of the surrounding races, causing them to not dare to rashly attack the Dorsal Fin Clan. Instead, they continuously mobilized their own forces and actively defended their borders.
The surrounding races of the Dorsal Fin Clan were all worried that the Dorsal Fin Clan's army would invade. Just as Xiao Lingyu had predicted, they all chose to protect themselves and did not help the other races that were being attacked by the Dorsal Fin Clan's army.
However, in order to avoid any accidents, the Dorsal Fin Clan's army never stayed in one place for too long, nor did they engage in any kind of siege. As long as they encountered a relatively strong resistance, they would put on a show of attacking for two days before quickly retreating.
The Dorsal Fin Clan's army seemed to only fight for the sake of fighting. They did not have much of a goal in mind and would only attack when they discovered that a race was not prepared.
Later on, under Xiao Lingyu's suggestion, the Dorsal Fin Clan's army no longer slaughtered the defeated races and instead incorporated them into their own forces...
Gradually, although the Dorsal Fin Clan's army continued to wage war, their scale grew larger and larger.
Armies formed by cultivators from other races were usually used as cannon fodder. Although it was a little cruel, the Dorsal Fin Clan did not feel the slightest psychological burden because of this.
The Dorsal Fin Clan's conquest had been going on for twenty thousand years. In reality, they had spent very little time fighting and most of their time on the road.
However, the twenty thousand years of conquest had stabilized the situation around them. In the eyes of the surrounding races, the Dorsal Fin Clan had changed from a weak race to a powerful existence that could not be provoked.
The Divine Soul Treasure that Ji Yuan had used to intimidate Saint God experts made the Saint Gods of the other races not dare to act rashly. Naturally, they also did not dare to invade the Dorsal Fin Clan.
