As soon as Elder Yuanshou finished speaking, other elders echoed him.

But soon, the voices of approval died down... because everyone suddenly realized that there were far fewer people agreeing this time.

To be more precise, those who came to support the performance were all elders from the Guyuan Zhao family, while those from the Luo family and the neutral camp, contrary to their usual behavior, remained silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiu Changtian, as if they were waiting to see what comments this Chang Geng Zhenren would make.

"Although this plan is good, it has its flaws." Qiu Changtian asked bluntly, "What if the ambush fails?"

Zhao Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked back:

"According to your plan, if the siege of Tiecheng Mountain fails, what will happen?"

"What do you mean by failure?" Qiu Changtian smiled faintly, "Any strategy must be implemented until its goal is achieved."

"The siege of Tiecheng Mountain is to prevent the army from going north and cut off our connection with Guanzhong. If it is considered a failure, it will be that we are vulnerable to Tiecheng Mountain and cannot stop it from capturing Longshan."

"If it really comes to that, I think what we need to worry about is not the safety of Guanzhong, but the survival of our sect itself."

The elders nodded one after another: If they really wanted to besiege Tiecheng Mountain, it would be almost impossible for them to fail given the strength of Kunlun Taiqing Sect.

The only question is to what extent Tiechengshan needs to be pushed.

If the Shura Path were to be uprooted, the losses on Kunlun's side would certainly be staggeringly large.

But if we can "encircle but not attack", and all the monks who have passed by can return safely, that would undoubtedly be the best choice.

Zhao Jinghong certainly understood this and continued:

"Encircling but not attacking is a good idea, but will the Demon Cult really act as you expect?"

"Master Chang Geng, if the Demon Cult's army marches out from Tiecheng Mountain, you will suffer heavy casualties if you try to stop them. If you don't, you will just sit back and watch them cut off the connection with Guanzhong. What can you do?"

"Master Yunhong." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "If we really encounter that kind of danger, what if we don't intercept them and they lead their army to Kunlun?"

Zhao Jinghong was speechless.

"If the Demon Cult is really like you said, and wants to destroy everything together." Qiu Changtian continued calmly, "Then Kunlun has no choice but to fight."

"Well said!" The head of Ziwei Sect suddenly praised loudly, "Kunlun Taiqing Sect only cherishes the lives of the monks and is unwilling to start a war easily, but it does not mean that they do not want to fight or dare to fight!"

When these words came out, there was no doubt that they were directed at some of the elders who had accused Qiu Changtian of being "indecisive" and "unworthy of being kind", so that Elder Jiuce sighed and said:

"Chang Geng is right. If the Demon Cult wants to send troops from Tiecheng Mountain, there will be a battle sooner or later."

"Instead of passively waiting for them to make a move, why don't we first besiege Tiecheng Mountain and take the initiative into our own hands."

Elder Yuanshou, who was standing next to him, had never expected that he would speak up to help Qiu Changtian, and his expression suddenly changed.

Oh no, the Luo family is going to switch to the opposite camp!

Following Elder Jiu Ce's lead in speaking, the cultivators in the Luo family camp also echoed him, and for a time, the momentum of supporting Qiu Changtian increased greatly.

Senior sister Luo Baiyuan was also among them. When the Luo family supported Zhao Jinghong before, they asked her to help question Qiu Changtian, but she held on and kept silent.

At this time, the Luo family turned around and supported Qiu Changtian. She expressed her support enthusiastically, but it was a pity that she was too dumb to think of any nice words. She could only repeat "yes, yes, yes", "right, yes", and "you're right" three times.

The opinions in the main hall of Kunlun quickly became one-sided, with everyone supporting Qiu Changtian's two-pronged strategy of sending troops, maintaining the defense of Guanzhong while suppressing Tiecheng Mountain.

Sect Leader Ziwei remained calm and composed, but was extremely proud in his heart. He thought to himself that even if the Luo family wanted to form an alliance with the Zhao family, you have to see if Zhao Jinghong has the ability to compete with Qiu Changtian!

There was a huge gap in intelligence and ability between the two sides. You chose to listen to Zhao Jinghong's advice, but how many people were killed in Beimang Mountain?

It's not too late to turn from darkness to light! Hahahahaha...

Qiu Changtian was unaware that his master was laughing wildly in his heart, and he just said respectfully:

"If we can't agree on the issue, please let the headmaster make the decision."

"Yes." Master Ziwei said calmly, "Yunhong, you don't support sending troops to Tiecheng Mountain, right?"

Zhao Jinghong cursed in his heart.

He only proposed a plan to set up an ambush in Longshan in order to restore his prestige. Since Qiu Changtian did not approve of this strategy, he started to argue with the other party and picked out a few minor faults, essentially to save face.

Now that everyone supports this strategy, how could Master Yun Hong possibly go against everyone and openly stand against so many elders?

Besides, with Zhao Jinghong's eyesight, he could naturally see that the tactic of approaching Tiecheng Mountain, although not very sophisticated, would definitely be a problem in dealing with it.

Fighting on two fronts is indeed very risky, but the Demon Cult has already taken the lead in adopting it. Unless Kunlun gives up Guanzhong and retracts all his fingers into a fist, he will definitely have to divide his forces in the same way.

After thinking it over quickly in his mind, Zhao Jinghong suddenly had another idea and said respectfully:

"Yun Hong has no objection, but has some ideas."

"Since we are going to send troops to Tiecheng Mountain, why can't we propose to Shushan to jointly besiege Shura Road?"

The elders' eyes suddenly brightened when they heard this.

Everyone had already discussed that if Shushan threatened the flank, Shura Road would not be able to move north.

But Shushan has always been secretly competing with Kunlun. Last time, when it was besieged by the Demon Cult for a long time, it did not ask for help. Now, Kunlun wants to ask Shushan for help in turn, which will be regarded by the world as a sign of Kunlun's decline.

Zhao Jinghong's statement undoubtedly provides another perspective:

Now Kunlun is not besieged by the Demon Cult, but is taking the initiative to teach Shura Dao a lesson. In this case, inviting Shushan to come over is not a request for help, but cooperation.

However, this strategy seems good, but could there be any flaws in it that we didn't expect?

It’s not that we don’t trust you, Master Yun Hong, but we were really scared by you last time. A simple surprise attack resulted in the death of seven out of ten people, and they were all elite soldiers... No younger generation can withstand such losses!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Jinghong thought of the key point and became so angry that he felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost vomited blood.

So because of one mistake, no one is willing to believe me anymore, right?

"Good plan!" Amidst the silence, Qiu Changtian was the first to applaud, then turned to Master Ziwei and said, "Master, I think this plan is feasible."

"Since we are jointly attacking Shura Dao, if the Shushan Shangqing Sect takes into account its relationship with Kunlun, it must not only send out enough sword immortals, but also deal a heavy blow to Shura Dao!"

The head of Ziwei Sect instantly understood the deep meaning of his words: Aren’t you from Shushan going to compete with me from Kunlun?

How about we see who has killed more evil cult villains?

"Okay." He nodded.

Looking at Zhao Jinghong again, this Master Yunhong just stared at Qiu Changtian blankly, and gradually fell silent.
