When everyone in the hall heard Zhang Yu's words, they all began to ponder.
Daoist Wang then asked, "But Mister Tao, I have a question. Since it is as Mister Tao said, his strength will multiply after devouring, why didn't he attack me first? After all, this formation was set up for me. If he attacked me first and refined my strength, wouldn't it be easier for him to deal with King Xi? "
Zhang Yu said, "If that's really the case, he doesn't need to make such an unnecessary move. Everyone can see that the formation he used to attack me was just a probe before the main attack. However, he didn't have the confidence to break my formation, so he decided to attack from the inside first. He was afraid that I would fall into his trap, so he came to communicate with us so that he could refine King Xi's army before attacking me."
Everyone couldn't help but understand. Combining the previous events, these words were very persuasive. Daoist Wang thought for a moment, then raised his hand and bowed. He earnestly asked, "Then Mister Tao, how should we deal with this?"
Zhang Yu said, "Just wait for an opportunity to act. This person and I aren't allies and are still enemies. If he doesn't do well in the beginning, I might as well help him. But if everything goes smoothly, then I'll destroy this formation before he succeeds in refining essence." He looked at Zhu Zonghu and said, "If Zhu Zonghu thinks this is feasible, I can report back to him now."
Zhu Zonghu pondered for a moment. Solemnly, he said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mister Tao."
Zhang Yu flicked his finger and a ray of light entered the other side's formation through the point where the two formations intersected.
At this moment, Old Daoist Lin's mind stirred. When he saw the ray of light, he hurriedly operated the formation to receive it. When he sensed it, he knew that the other side had agreed with his words. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but be on guard. This was because when the other side sent the message, they were able to easily send it into his formation. This was enough to prove that the other side's methods were brilliant. Fortunately, he had already decided to attack King Xi's army first.
King Xi's army was completely defenseless against him, but he was able to use the formation to figure out more than seventy percent of the army's strength. If he could kill this person immediately, the rest of the army wouldn't be able to resist him.
After thinking it through, he followed the agreement and sent a portion of the formation mechanism's information, as well as the approximate time it would be activated, to Mian Lu.
In this way, the changes in his formation could be clearly seen by the other side.
Of course, this was only the most superficial thing. It was obviously impossible to break the formation with this. However, it could clearly distinguish whether his formation was attacking from the inside or the outside, preventing the two sides from confronting each other first.
Actually, he knew very well that even without these things, the person controlling the formation at Mian Lu would also be able to discern these things. This was just him expressing his sincerity.
Since he had already made up his mind, the anxiety in his heart disappeared. The red light in his eyes also slowly disappeared as he regained his usual appearance. He turned around and walked down from the array.
Advisor Song came up and asked, "Elder Lin, how is it?"
Old Daoist Lin said, "The array is very stable. As expected, there are no flaws. Please tell His Highness King Xi to use this to strengthen the array. In another one or two months, we will be able to attack Mianlu."
Minister Song said happily, "Good, good, I will report to Your Highness as it is."
At this moment, in Mian Lu City, because they knew that the other side would be activating their formation soon, all sides were urgently preparing for battle.
Yin Huanting returned from the main hall and stared at the map on the wall. What he needed to consider at this moment was how to make use of this matter to gain the most benefits if King Xi really died here.
One had to know that apart from them, no one else knew about this matter. No one could think of it, and no one dared to think about it. Thus, if they seized this opportunity, they would be able to seize the initiative.
Others thought that Mian Lu City had no external help, but that was actually wrong. In the past twenty years, a few more Xuanxiu had entered this world and established small factions at the edges of the continent.
Not to mention these, the first batch of Xuanxiu had infiltrated various large and small factions. Many of them were under King Xi's rule. Moreover, with Xuanxiu's outstanding qualities, they all had a certain level of status and identity. If these people could be mobilized, once King Xi died, they would be able to gather a large number of forces for Mian Lu.
However, the more he thought about it, the more he hoped that King Xi would die quickly. He believed that the person in charge of the array on the other side was also thinking the same.
While both sides were preparing, another month passed. On this day, Advisor Song sent Old Daoist Lin a decree from King Xi. Old Daoist Lin took a look and said in surprise, "Attack the array in advance?"
"Yes."
Old Daoist Lin frowned and said, "Why do we have to do it in advance? Didn't we agree to attack next month? "
Advisor Song emphasized, "This is His Highness King Xi's decree. Elder Lin only needs to follow it. You don't need to ask why. Or is it that the array isn't ready yet? Is there something wrong with it?" He stared at Old Daoist Lin as he finished speaking.
Old Daoist Lin's eyes were calm and unperturbed. He said, "Since His Highness King Xi has requested for it to be brought forward, then there's no harm in bringing it forward a few days. However, I can't activate the array in one go. I still need four or five days to prepare."
Advisor Song said, "Then please hurry, Elder Lin."
At this moment, King Xi was sitting on the throne with a listless expression. This time, he urged Old Daoist Lin to attack the array quickly. It wasn't because he sensed something, but because the curse power in his body had intensified a few days ago and couldn't be alleviated.
Daoist Wei believed that King Xi's body would deteriorate in one or two months. Therefore, he had no choice but to bring forward the attack in order to resolve this matter while he was still alive.
After receiving Elder Lin's reply that he had agreed to advance the attack, he waved his hand and dismissed his followers. He leaned against the throne and panted slightly.
Daoist Wei looked at him and said, "You can start preparing first. Regardless of whether Mian Lu is attacked or not, if you want to complete that task, you shouldn't delay it any longer."
King Xi was silent for a while before he finally nodded and said, "Okay."
He called out. A Creator Realm cultivator with a golden mask and a blue aura emitted from his body walked over. He bowed to King Xi and silently stood behind him.
King Xi closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them and said, "Let's begin."
Daoist Wei took out a jade furnace from his sleeve. After opening it, spiritual light rose from within and a talisman flickering with golden light floated above it.
He then took out a jade bowl and used his magic power to guide the talisman into the bowl. With a slight shake, it turned into a bowl of golden liquid. He handed it to King Xi and said, "Drink this."
King Xi took the bowl and raised his head to drink it. At this moment, a faint light seeped out from under his skin. He felt like he was floating and his forehead was slightly swollen.
Daoist Wei took out another jade pendant. King Xi took it and pressed it against the center of his brows. It actually went in without a hitch, and then it disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the golden light on his body gradually faded away.
Daoist Wei said, "This item will last for 15 days at most."
King Xi said in a deep voice, "Lin Jue promised to take down the formation and said that 10 days is enough. If he can't complete this task," he said to the Creator Realm cultivator behind him, "Zhu Ye will take over."
The Creator Realm cultivator nodded.
Daoist Wei said, "Have you chosen him as your successor? Those below might not be convinced. "
King Xi said, "Isn't that for the best?"
The Creator Realm cultivator glanced at King Xi. He understood that if Zhu Ye Heng wanted to become the new King Xi, he had to prove his ability. After receiving this order, he would definitely not let it go. However, Zhu Banye was the true successor in name. Only by defeating Zhu Banye could he become the true successor. Therefore, the conflict between the two of them could not be resolved. One of them had to fall.
King Xi only said these few words, but he revealed a tired expression.
Daoist Wei said indifferently, "The Divine Guiding Water will calm your mind. You can sleep first."
King Xi said to the Creator Realm cultivator beside him, "If anything happens, wake me up immediately."
Solemnly, the Creator Realm cultivator nodded.
Only then did King Xi feel relieved. He first took out several pills and swallowed them, then sat down. After a short while, a silver liquid rose from the bottom of the throne and wrapped around his entire body.
The Creator Realm cultivator silently stood at the side and watched.
Daoist Wei suddenly said to him, "You should make your preparations."
The Creator Realm cultivator suddenly raised his head. A sharp light shone from under his mask.
Daoist Wei said indifferently, "Don't look at me like that. There is no problem with the talisman water. Although the technique is mature, it can't be guaranteed. You have to be prepared. After all, you are his only son."
The Creator Realm cultivator said in a deep voice, "I am not human."
Daoist Wei said, "As long as there is no mistake with your bloodline, who will know your true origin?"
The Creator Realm cultivator raised his head and said, "Is this what His Highness wants?"
Daoist Wei said, "He might think so, but he will never admit it. In his heart, he is irreplaceable. However, in this world, there is no one who cannot be irreplaceable. Think about it carefully. In the end, this is your foundation. After I fulfill my promise, I will leave this place. "
The Creator Realm cultivator said, "The pursuit of the Great Dao? What ….. is there? "
Daoist Wei said, "Before I go there, I can't answer you."
The Creator Realm cultivator nodded.
When King Xi woke up, it had already been three days. His spirit was much more vigorous than before, and the heavy feeling of fatigue on his body no longer existed.
However, he knew that this was only because he had removed the connection between his body and mind. Right now, he was purely relying on the power of the pill to support himself. From the moment he drank the talisman water, it was as if he had given up on his body. Fortunately, he didn't have to endure this for too long.
He picked up his whip and staff. After clenching it tightly, he called out to someone outside. Not long after, Advisor Song quickly walked in and bowed, "Your Highness."
King Xi asked in a deep voice, "Is Daoist Lin ready?"
Advisor Song suddenly felt that King Xi's aura was particularly intimidating today. He lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and said, "It is ready. We are just waiting for Your Highness' order."
King Xi picked up his whip and stood up from his seat. He walked straight to the crystal wall in front of him. Advisor Song bowed and followed his figure as he slowly turned a half circle.
King Xi walked all the way to the crystal wall before stopping. He shook his wrist and swung it to the side. When the whip and staff hit nothing, it made a clear and crisp sound. He said, "Then pass on my order. Let him start operating the array."
