"That's the situation. The Tenmu Temple's Lai Province branch, Ping Province's Mi Family, Bu Family, and Broken Star Sect all discovered that unknown martial artists had killed their way into the defensive perimeter. At least one of the outer scouting teams of the three families was killed! Among the scouting teams, the strongest was at the peak of the Constellation Realm. Among them, the Tenmu Temple's Lai Province branch was confirmed to be an attack by the Star Luo Temple, "Ling Dong said slowly.
In the Ling family's meeting hall, the half-step Zhou Tian orthodox gods who had united around Ling Dong all had heavy expressions, especially Wu Zhengyang, Bu Zi Wen, and Lao San who was proficient in formations.
Elder Hai, who had been arranging the defense of Zhenhai City in Liao Province, was also standing in the meeting hall. Jin Nu, Jin Chen, Bai Han, and the others were also present. Only Bai Bai Xuan, who was at the crucial moment, was absent.
As for the other ten half-step Zhou Tian orthodox gods who were still cultivating in the Ten Thousand Star Palace, Ling Dong hadn't disturbed them yet. In Ling Dong's view, those people were just martial artists. They absolutely couldn't participate in the current core decision-making.
If they were needed, Ling Dong would transfer them out and let them fight. Especially in the current situation where there was a traitor.
Outside the meeting hall, four cold-looking criminal soldiers overflowing with murderous intent stood guard around the meeting hall. Their divine senses were unscrupulously exploring the surroundings, vigilant of any martial artists or divine senses that passed by.
"We have half an hour. Within that time, we have to come up with a rescue plan," Ling Dong added.
According to the emergency talismans sent by the three families and the warning talismans sent by the scouts who had been killed, the group of mysterious people would arrive in 15 minutes at the earliest.
The strength of the attacking martial artists was unknown. Even if the three families concentrated all their strength on defense and even used formations, delaying them for half an hour was already the most they could do. This was also because Ling Dong and the others had been actively preparing for the battle these days.
He had ordered the various clans to select cultivators who were adept at concealment to form a small scout team and set up an alarm array. Coupled with the existing alarm methods, the current results were achieved.
"The Tenmu Temple's branch in Lai Province, the Mi family, the Bu family, and the Broken Star Sect of Ping Province are at least fourteen thousand li away from the Transforming Jade Mountain where the Star Luo Temple's main camp is located. The furthest one is at least six thousand li away. The three families are so far apart from each other, but they launched an attack at the same time. There must be something strange going on! "
Wu Zhengyang was the first to speak. Even though his Celestial Martial Palace's Lai Province was an important area of the Celestial Martial Palace and was also on the list of targets, Wu Zhengyang's expression was only grave. He did not seem very anxious.
Even Bu Ziwen, Elder Mi, who was proficient in formations, felt the same way. Ling Dong wasn't surprised at all. Firstly, it was because they had already made arrangements. Even if their clans and sects were really destroyed, there would still be a torch to pass on.
Moreover, to be able to reach their level, each and every one of them had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The death of one or two martial artists, or even more, was just a number in their eyes, as long as they were not the most important members of the family.
After so many years of training, their hearts were as hard as stone. Even if they were truly worried about their clans, they could still see the big picture.
"Old Wu, do you think there's a trap in this?" Bu Ziwen asked.
"There must be a problem. It would be strange if there wasn't! If they really want us to be flustered, they will send out three or four teams to attack our clans in order of arrival. When we receive the first warning talisman, we will send out reinforcements. When we receive the second one, we will split up, and then the third. These warnings come one after another. Whether they are real or fake, our side will definitely be in chaos.
I don't understand. Why would they not use such a simple method to throw us into chaos? Why would they use such a method of splitting up their forces at the same time? Is it just to make us hesitate on which clan to send out reinforcements and cause internal strife? How can such a simple plan work on us old fellows? "Wu Zhengyang said.
"That's right. That's the strange part. It doesn't make any sense! Or perhaps they are attacking three clans at the same time to make us split up our forces to send reinforcements, and then attack our main base, the Ling family castle? "Elder Mi said.
"Do they think we can't see through such a simple plan?" Wu Zhengyang interjected.
Jin Nu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "It's hard to say. The great path is simple, and great wisdom appears foolish. Sometimes, simple things are easier to confuse people. "
"That's right. The possibility of this is very high!" Ling Dong nodded. "However, there's no need to worry about this. It's just the Ling family castle. If it's destroyed, then so be it. After preparing for so long, if we leave, there won't be much left of the Ling family castle. As for the Long An Star Palace, if we really fall for their plan of luring the tiger away from the mountain, the Long An Star Palace can definitely hold out until we return. "
"Actually, there's an extremely important problem that we've all overlooked." Elder Hai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, what problem?" Everyone's gazes gathered on Elder Hai.
"That would be to slaughter our clans and sects. Would they dare? Perhaps the four Palace Masters of the Star Gauze Temple would dare, but would the other half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods dare? Even if the four Palace Masters dared, would the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods under them let them do it? "Elder Hai said.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"That's right. More than half a year ago, when Zhangsun Tong came to fake surrender, Young Master Ling had already warned them that if they dared to kill a single one of our clansmen, they would be killed ten times over. I believe they all know the weight of this. Furthermore, this kind of thing is also an unspoken rule in the entire Long An Territory. "Wu Zhengyang said.
"Unless they have full confidence in destroying the enemy's main force, normally when two clans fight, they wouldn't kill the weaker cultivators or even the normal clansmen. Unless the enemy is the kind of Light Mark Commander who doesn't care about anything. I believe that the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods on the other side are very clear about this kind of thing. "
"Hmph, if they dare to slaughter any of our clans, at that time, Young Master Ling will form an army of half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods and slaughter their clansmen all over the world. Whenever we see a clan, we'll slaughter a clan. If we, the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, really want to be ruthless, we'll come and go without a trace. Who would be able to stop us? Who would dare to do that?! "Bu Zi Wen's mouth suddenly revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
Ling Dong raised his eyebrows, "This means that they must have some motive. Furthermore, even if we don't go and help, who among them would dare to do something like exterminating a clan? "
"That's right. These few years, there have been many conflicts between the various clans in the Long An Territory. However, no one would dare to do that kind of thing! Because if one of their late-stage Star Monarch cultivators escapes the net, as long as they are ruthless enough to conceal their identity and act against ordinary people or low-level cultivators without caring about their status, who would be able to defend against them? "
Pausing for a moment, Bu Zi Wen continued, "Right now, we have over twenty half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods gathered here. As long as two or three of them escape the net, they would not be able to rest peacefully for the rest of their lives! Furthermore, Young Master Ling's Vermillion Bird only needs to spread its wings slightly, and it would be able to destroy the foundation of one of the clans' ancestors.
Before they completely defeat us, who would dare to lay their hands on any of our clansmen? At most, they would only lose some peripheral members. I'm sure that they would not dare to make a move! "
"Brother Bu's analysis is correct! However, now that they've launched a large-scale attack, we can't just sit back and do nothing, right? Let them do as they please? "Old Hai questioned.
"Even if we don't move, what can they do? Perhaps we can make their vicious plan collapse by itself?" Bu Zi Wen shouted. He was not worried about the safety of his clans at all.
"This old man feels that it's better to move. If we don't move, it might cause the hearts of our clansmen to become unstable! There's another important problem. If we don't move, they might capture all of our clansmen and use them as a threat in the final battle. What can we do then? "Old Mi was a bit worried.
The moment Old Mi's words left his mouth, the consensus immediately fell apart. Everyone had their own opinions and laws as they argued endlessly. If it wasn't for Ling Dong's presence, there might have already been people fighting.
For example, the hot-tempered Wu Sheng was already arguing with Old Mi until his face and neck were red.
"Cough cough …" While everyone was arguing, Ling Dong lightly coughed twice, and the discussion hall immediately quieted down.
"Everyone's ideas are quite feasible, but time is of the essence, and it's not good to continue arguing. Let me make the decision." Ling Dong said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded. If Ling Dong made the final decision, they had nothing to say. However, the key was whose suggestion Ling Dong chose. That was contribution, and it was related to who had the priority to use the God Sealing Stone.
In an instant, everyone's gazes gathered on Ling Dong. However, Ling Dong coughed softly once again. "Uh, wait a moment. I am waiting for a piece of information to make a final decision. We should be able to see the results very soon."
When Ling Dong finished speaking, the captain of the criminal army, Zhan Xiong, had already reported to Gao Yuan that he wanted to see him.
"Young master, we've already received the report. More than eighty percent is normal!"
"Eighty percent?" Hearing this number, Ling Dong's eyes immediately shone. He immediately shouted, "Jin Chen, you take Wu Sheng and Old Mi to the Mi family. Old Wu, you take Wu Sheng, Old Xiang, Old Hai, and Bai Han to the Tenmu Temple's Lai Province region."
After pausing for a moment, Ling Dong's gaze paused. He looked at Bu Zihun and said, "Old Bu, Old Bi, how about the three of us go to the Bu family?"
Bu Ziwen nodded. Then, he asked doubtfully, "Young master Ling, wouldn't Ling family castle be too empty like this? Also, if we move too heavily, wouldn't we fall into their trap? "
It was clear that Bu Ziwen was sincerely thinking for Ling Dong.
Ling Dong shook his head. "Yes, we'll fall into their trap. I want to see what they're playing at." Of course, Ling Dong was just saying this. Ling Dong had other important reasons for his decision.
"Alright, let's go!" After saying this, Ling Dong strode out of the meeting hall. At the same time, he instructed Gao Yuan and Zhan Xiong, "Zhan Xiong, if someone attacks the Ling family castle, you know how to retreat, right?"
"Understood!"
As soon as Zhan Xiong responded, the group immediately rushed towards the teleportation formation. In just a few breaths of time, the majestic fluctuations of the formation immediately rose. However, a question still lingered in everyone's mind. "What is the Star Luo Temple trying to do?"
At the same time, in the Star Luo Temple of the Transforming Jade Mountain, in the cave where the fake Zhou Tian Shenjian was kept, First Palace Master Xi Hao, Second Palace Master Xiu Hong, and Fourth Palace Master Bu Ze gathered together. Their expressions were unusually serious.
"Come, let's see how we lose."
