In the main hall.
Jin Yichuan looked at the jade scroll in his hand with a serious expression. The others also looked solemn.
"Zhishou Tower of the Southern Region has worked hard for so many years, but we can only cause some small losses to the Hades.
A Xiuchun cultivator and a disciple of the Sword Sect, just the two of them, can do something that so many of us can't do? "
Jin Yichuan's tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was very deep.
"Should we say that they are extremely capable, or that we are too incompetent?"
The other high-level cultivators of Zhishou Tower looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds. Then, someone asked tentatively, "Could this be false information?"
"Xiuchun cultivator would never betray Zhishou Tower." Lu Xingjian was the first to object.
"You misunderstand, Town Counselor," the cultivator who had just spoken explained, "What I mean is, could this Xiuchun cultivator have been deceived by the Hades?
Everyone knows that the Hades are very tight-lipped. How could they reveal such confidential information so easily? "
What he said was very reasonable, so everyone fell into deep thought.
Even if it was the information given by Xiuchun cultivator, no one could immediately believe it.
One could imagine how much trouble it would cause if Lu Qingshan came alone and wanted to give the information to join forces with Zhishou Tower to destroy the Hades.
Information was not so easy to give.
Especially the stricter and larger organizations, they would often maintain a skeptical attitude towards benefits that were given out for free.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan had Dantai Qingrun, who had a certain status and authority in Zhishou Tower, as a guise. She could give him a lot of leverage.
After a long time, Jin Yichuan's expression was dignified. He said thoughtfully, "What if this information is true?"
His dignified gaze swept across everyone. "Our duty is to destroy the Hades. Even if this is false information, we have to treat it as real information.
Otherwise, if we miss the chance to deal a heavy blow to the Hades because of our carelessness, our dereliction of duty is a small matter. However, will there be a second chance for us to miss this opportunity? "
He made the final decision.
Since Jin Yichuan had said so, no one raised any objections and began to seriously discuss the plan of action.
It was also the reason why Lu Qingshan appeared to be too reckless and crude every time he revealed information to Zhishou Tower.
Zhishou Tower was just like the police station in his previous life. Even if it seemed like a "false police report", it still had to be treated as a police report.
It was their duty to do so, and they had to do so.
He would rather be busy for nothing than be careless!
Lu Qingshan's foreplay was never to provide a flawless explanation for his source of information. It was more of a superficial effort.
Because as long as Zhishou Tower was still the Zhishou Tower, they would treat this information seriously, even if it came abruptly.
However, if Zhishou Tower's original intentions had changed, even if his information came flawlessly, it would still be overlooked by Zhishou Tower.
It was that simple.
.....
Time passed quietly. It was the seventh day, which happened to be the first day of the seventh year of Tianyuan. A Zhishou Tower cultivator sent a message, telling Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun to wait at the Xuanhui Square.
This meant that Zhishou Tower had already made all the plans of action and was ready to take action.
In seven days, they had organized everyone and made a corresponding plan of action. The efficiency of the Zhishou Tower cultivators was praiseworthy.
When Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun arrived at the Xuanhui Square, there were already hundreds of cultivators there. They were all at least Nascent Soul cultivators.
The two found a place and stood.
Not long after, the head of Zhishou Tower in the Southern Region, Jin Yichuan, appeared.
His gaze swept across all the cultivators present, and he slowly said, "This operation is of great significance. If it succeeds, it will be an outstanding achievement that has never been seen before. It will be a great blow to the arrogance of the Hades.
At the same time, we will show the methods of our Zhishou Tower, so that human cultivators will think twice about the temptations of the Hades in the future. "
The reason why the Hades had been able to recruit human cultivators, other than the huge benefits, was that the deterrence given by Zhishou Tower was not enough.
This made many human cultivators feel that even if they joined the Hades, it would not be too dangerous.
If they wanted to stop human cultivators from betraying their race for profit, they could not rely on their moral standards and conscience. The true method of the Great Void should be to make them afraid, so that they would not dare to do it.
Jin Yichuan continued, "The targets are also relatively clear. They are the Northern Region's coastal region, Ge Region's Mount Qingming … there are a total of 14 targets.
The specific distribution is as follows: Guardian Lu Xingjian will lead Team Ding He and Team Bing Ren … to Ge Region …
Team Ding Xiu will lead … to Ning Region … "
The Zhishou Building had also done a survey of the exact location and drawn up a corresponding map, marking the exact location on it.
"Set off immediately. It's the first day of the lunar month now. Three days later, which is the beginning of the first month, you need to reach the designated locations.
Attack at noon at the same time, and you must not delay or move ahead. "
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately understood Zhishou Tower's plan.
This was an extremely simple battle strategy, and of course, it was very practical.
To be more specific, in order to prevent information from being transmitted between underworlds, the Zhishou Tower would launch a surprise attack on all fourteen underworlds of the Southern Underworld at the same time based on the information provided by the Zhishou Tower.
Relying on their strength and numbers, the Zhishou Tower was prepared to divide their forces into fourteen divisions, striving to wipe out all fourteen divisions in one fell swoop.
Of the 14 groups of cultivators, four of them were led by Realm Seven cultivators, while the other ten groups were led by three or more Realm Six cultivators.
This was Zhishou Tower, and its strength was comparable to many large sects.
In just seven days, they had gathered information, made plans, and gathered so many people.
Finally, Jin Yichuan looked at Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan. "If the two of you want to destroy the Hades together, you can choose one of the 14 groups to follow."
Dantai Qingrun looked at Lu Qingshan, as if waiting for his decision.
Jin Yichuan saw all of this.
As an old man, he immediately realized the difference in status between the two, and who was in charge. His eyes flickered.
"We'll go with the group in the Northern Region." Lu Qingshan quickly made his choice.
.....
This group of cultivators from the Northern Continent's Sea Ring should be the last group of cultivators to arrive at their destination.
Because of the 14 groups, their journey was the furthest.
The Northern Region was naturally the northernmost region of the Southern Region.
In order to maintain the overall efficiency and secrecy of the operation, the Zhishou Tower cultivators did not fly separately. Instead, they first arrived at the Northern Region through the Teleportation Formation, and then relied on a standard flying Dharma artifact to head to the Northern Region's Hades branch.
The flying Dharma artifact was a spirit boat with an invisibility Dharma Artifact. Other things aside, it was quite fast.
Although there were some doubts about Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan's participation, the Zhishou Tower cultivators on the flying boat all remained silent, and no one asked for no reason.
This was the good quality of the Zhishou Tower cultivators, which was also the so-called "discipline".
…
The Northern Region, as its name suggested, belonged to the area on the coastline.
There were many islands scattered around, and on each island, there were cultivator families or small sects of various sizes stationed.
In this way, the Underworld's Underworld Palace also occupied a small island and blended in with hundreds of cultivator families and sects. It was really difficult to see any big flaws in it.
Two days later, the flying boat approached the Northern Region's coastline.
The Northern Region's temperature was extremely low, and the cold air surrounded them. Everyone took a deep breath, and immediately felt their minds become much clearer.
The leading cultivator of the sixth realm carefully steered the flying boat to the island where the Hades branch was located, and then activated the flying boat's Dharma Artifact with all his strength.
A layer of barrier like a water curtain and gauze appeared, enveloping the flying boat and completely concealing all of its aura.
Next, they would wait here for a day until noon the next day before brazenly making their move.
Time slowly passed.
The noon of the second day arrived quietly.
"Do it!" The leading Soul Formation cultivator confirmed without a doubt and shouted in a low voice.
In an instant, dozens of cultivators filed out of the flying boat and rushed towards the island below them.
At the same time, a beam of light shot out from the flying boat. It was shaped like a laser cannon, and it shot towards the island where the Hades branch was located.
In the next moment, spiritual light shone brightly, and after the beam of light landed, a huge Dharma Artifact immediately enveloped the entire island, forming a sealed Dharma Artifact.
The flying boat was not only a transportation Dharma artifact, but it also had the ability of a Dharma Artifact!
There were a total of four Soul Formation cultivators in this group of cultivators heading to the Northern Region.
Once the Dharma Artifact was formed, one of the Soul Formation cultivators stayed on the flying boat to maintain the operation of the Dharma Artifact. The remaining three Soul Formation cultivators had already rushed into the Dharma Artifact with their men.
Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun did not enter the Dharma Artifact.
First, they needed someone to protect the outside world to prevent any fish from escaping the net.
After all, although the Dharma Artifact was strong, it was not invincible, and there was no lack of people who used certain methods to break through the Dharma Artifact and escape.
Second, the Zhishou Building cultivators who entered the Dharma Artifact were just like Lu Qingshan's Tiger Team. They all entered the Dharma Artifact as a team, and their cooperation was seamless.
The leading Soul Formation cultivator also knew the combat strength of each team like the back of his hand. If the two of them rashly entered the Dharma Artifact, it was very likely that not only would they not be of much help, but they would also cause trouble for their actions and instead cause trouble.
The Dharma Artifact did not block vision, so the high and mighty Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun could see the situation on the island at a glance.
It could be seen that when the Zhishou Building cultivators erupted, in just a few breaths of time, there were already hundreds of figures rushing out from all corners of the island.
Yes, at the first moment, even if they did not completely understand the current situation, in the face of this obvious extermination situation, the Hades cultivators here made the best choice at the moment. They erupted with all their strength in order to break out of the encirclement.
The Hades cultivators' decisive reaction caught the Zhishou Building cultivators, who had launched the first attack, off guard.
However, the three Soul Formation cultivators in the lead quickly stabilized the situation.
The spirit cultivators and magic cultivators controlled the scene, casting a large domain spell to control the field. The other cultivators also did their own duties, forming an encirclement that was slowly closing in.
The Zhishou Building cultivators still had this bit of experience.
Although the Hades cultivators had more people, their individual strength was far inferior to the Zhishou Building's.
Zhishou Building had mobilized a total of four Soul Formation cultivators this time, but in the Hades branch here, there were only two Soul Formation cultivators. Moreover, they were both Soul Formation cultivators who had been cultivated through some special methods of the Demons. Compared to true Soul Formation cultivators who had cultivated step by step, there was always something lacking.
The difference in high-end combat strength was so great, so there was naturally no need to say much about other things.
Under such circumstances, every short exchange between the Hades cultivators and the Zhishou Building cultivators ended in the Hades' defeat.
Not long after, the hundreds of Hades cultivators had already lost twenty percent of their numbers.
Even if some people took advantage of the gaps and escaped the encirclement, they were still trapped by the Dharma Artifact and could not escape.
Zhishou Building's operation naturally took into account all aspects.
It looked like it was another encirclement operation where they had caught a turtle in a jar, with a ninety percent chance of success.
This thought flashed through the head of the Soul Formation cultivator in the lead.
At this moment, there was a sudden change.
A strong wave of elemental energy instantly expanded in the western corner of the island.
"This is?!" Dantai Qingrun, who was watching the battle outside the Dharma Artifact, could not help but change her expression slightly.
There were actually three Soul Formation cultivators in the Hades branch here.
And this Soul Formation cultivator who had been hiding all this time was not afraid of battle, but he had found the weak point of the Dharma Artifact and directly used the method of self-destruction to break the Dharma Artifact.
Only this method could allow him to break the Dharma Artifact in the shortest amount of time possible!
Almost at the same time that the third Soul Formation cultivator from the Hades self-destructed, the two Soul Formation cultivators from the Hades on the main battlefield also suddenly exploded. One of the Soul Formation cultivators opened his mouth and roared, an extremely terrifying and sharp sound wave swept towards the cultivators in the western direction of the encirclement.
Under the impact of this sound wave, the cultivators in the west were like birds that had fallen asleep while flying, falling down noisily with a clatter.
Of course, this Soul Formation cultivator from the Hades also paid a certain price to use such a powerful spell. At this moment, he was already bleeding from all five orifices.
But no matter what, a temporary gap appeared in the encirclement!
The cultivators from the Hades hurriedly flew through this gap and escaped.
The Soul Formation cultivator from the Zhishou Building's expression changed and was about to fill this gap.
At this moment, the other Soul Formation cultivator from the Hades revealed a ferocious smile and blocked the gap in front of him. Suddenly, a violent wave of energy expanded and spread out from his body.
It was exactly the same as the wave of elemental energy in the western corner of the island.
This was the self-destruction of the Nascent Soul!
The self-destruction of the Nascent Soul was a suicidal method for cultivators. It was extremely destructive, but also extremely useless.
This was because this kind of self-destruction had a starting process.
And during this process, the strong wave of energy could not be concealed. In other words, as long as the cultivator self-destructed and the others quickly chose to escape, they would be completely able to escape the range of the explosion.
The self-destruction of the Nascent Soul would become a dud.
But the problem now was that the Soul Formation cultivator who was about to self-destruct was blocking the gap, but the Zhishou Building cultivators who were afraid of the power of the explosion could not fill the gap in time.
With this self-destructing Soul Formation cultivator as the boundary, behind him was the fleeing cultivator from the Hades. In front of him were the Zhishou Building cultivators who were afraid of the destructive power of the explosion and did not dare to move forward.
It had to be said that the timing was very good.
This scene was also very heroic.
Boom!
On the other side, the Soul Formation cultivator who had used the self-destruction of his Nascent Soul earlier had already exploded into a cloud of blood in the violent spiritual light.
What followed was a shockwave of terrifying power that was like a nuclear bomb washing the ground.
Under this incomparably powerful shockwave, the enchantment that enveloped the entire island rippled and began to tremble violently.
The Soul Formation cultivator from the Zhishou Building who was maintaining the enchantment immediately turned pale and tried his best to maintain the enchantment's form.
Unfortunately, under the self-destruction of this Soul Formation cultivator who had sacrificed his life and soul, his efforts could only make the enchantment last for a breath of time.
Sizzle!
In the next moment, the enchantment turned into fragments that filled the sky and collapsed.
The aftermath rushed to the surrounding sea surface, stirring up pillars of water one after another.
A Soul Formation cultivator self-destructed the enchantment, and another Soul Formation cultivator's self-destruction temporarily broke the encirclement of the Zhishou Building cultivators.
The Hades cultivators counterattacked with incomparable determination.
Because they knew very well that in the face of the meticulously planned and prepared Zhishou Building cultivators, it was impossible to turn defeat into victory. Even if they wanted to escape, there was little hope.
There was no other way but to sacrifice some people.
It was a very heroic and wise choice.
But what was puzzling was that everyone knew that the Hades cultivators were mostly evil people who were tempted by benefits to join the Hades.
But why would these selfish Hades cultivators show such noble sentiments at a time like this?
With such righteousness, why did they have to be traitors?
This was a situation that the Zhishou Building cultivators and the Hades cultivators had faced for many years and had never encountered.
Before this, when faced with the encirclement of Zhishou Tower, the cultivators of the Underworld had all fled in the face of disaster. This was a situation that the demons could not change even if they had the power to reach the heavens.
This was the human heart.
