Lin Xiuyuan quickly reviewed some intelligence materials.
There was one last sentence.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this and the information above are offered as friendly assistance to our temporary cooperation. However, this is the limit of what I can provide, as I am not the local Pavilion Master. Future information will require payment."
"By the way, a friendly reminder, messages like this cost two thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
Seeing such a comment, Lin Xiuyuan smiled helplessly. It seemed that obtaining intelligence would not be so easy in the future.
However, Lin Xiuyuan was also secretly alarmed.
I was just trying it out and would give it a shot if I didn't hear anything.
But Xinyuan Pavilion actually obtained the intelligence in such a short time!
That's truly unbelievable.
It's important to know that they were on the front lines and were the first to notice the enemy's personnel movements.
But it only took less than 15 minutes.
Xinyuan Pavilion had obtained the general information.
The army of rogue cultivators split into several teams, each with two to three hundred people, intending to attack various resource sites in Yunxiao, turning these strongholds into isolated islands and completely surrounding them.
The jade slip contained information including the number of Purple Mansion cultivators and their approximate personal details.
This demonstrates the terrifying infiltration and intelligence capabilities of the Xinyuan Pavilion.
For some reason, this made Lin Xiuyuan feel a sense of apprehension.
"I wonder which force nurtured her? Or is she a top-tier force on her own? If it's the former, that would be quite terrifying! It's a pity that she doesn't have enough influence in the demonic path, otherwise we could have more detailed information about Cai'er."
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan didn't dwell on it; he still had important business to attend to.
Then, Lin Xiuyuan looked up and saw that Xu Zeda and less than ten other Foundation Establishment disciples of the sect had already gathered their gazes on him, each with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"Gentlemen, the reason I have summoned you all today is to present you with a task that we need to complete together. This journey is fraught with danger, and if you are unwilling, you may still withdraw now."
Lin Xiuyuan said slowly.
"But what about sniping the enemy's split forces? This is something we have an inescapable responsibility to do."
Xu Zeda immediately said.
The other disciples nodded in agreement, their eyes resolute.
Xu Zeda then asked, "Which protector accompanied you this time? Protector Pang? Or Protector Zhong? Protector Zhong is currently in command, so perhaps it was the Ge family's Grand Elder?"
"No, it's not that. Only we are making a move this time. According to reliable intelligence, the experts at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm from the Loose Cultivator Alliance have not made any moves. They have only sent some experts at the late Purple Mansion realm, with only one such expert in each team, along with two to three cultivators at the early to mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm."
Lin Xiuyuan gave a brief explanation, then said, "Therefore, our three Yunxiao cultivators at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm need to be kept in reserve and cannot be easily moved. The one who will take action will be me leading the rest of you."
"ah?"
Xu Zeda was taken aback.
Did I hear that right?
Although it's just a small team, that's relative.
Each team consists of several hundred people, with two or three Purple Mansion cultivators in charge.
Xu Zeda exclaimed in astonishment, "Just us? We have a late-stage Purple Talisman cultivator in charge, or at the very least, we should have Deacon He or Protector Huang join us!"
The other Foundation Establishment disciples present were also stunned, as if they had misheard.
"It doesn't matter. Our primary objective is to prevent them from hindering the collection and transportation of resources in the rear, not to annihilate them completely."
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and slowly stood up, saying, "Anyone who is unwilling to take this risk may stay. As for the rest, there is no need to say more. By order of the commander, you are all to follow me."
After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan calmly walked outside.
Seeing this, Xu Zeda hesitated, but ultimately gritted his teeth and followed.
The rest of the Foundation Establishment disciples, naturally, wouldn't want to be labeled as cowards, and since things had come to this point, they all followed suit.
However, naturally, many people felt that this matter was not very safe, and asked Xu Zeda to send a message to Zhong Kangshun, Pang Hongbo and others.
Xu Zeda immediately nodded, sharing the same thought. He followed Lin Xiuyuan's steps while taking out a jade slip to send a message.
Lin Xiuyuan noticed these small actions, but didn't care much. He led his men to retrieve a large number of spirit talismans and array plates, and then headed straight for the outside of the array.
"Use concealment techniques to avoid alerting the enemy to our movements."
As the person in charge, Lin Xiuyuan only needed to say a word to go into the formation. After someone confirmed the order, the formation was immediately opened, creating a passage.
Immediately, Lin Xiuyuan used the technique of concealment to slowly hide his figure, as if he had disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, his cultivation level has reached the Purple Mansion stage. His divine sense is profound and he can use it with ease. He has fewer flaws and can use his magic power to enhance his speed, so he no longer needs to walk as before.
In an instant, Lin Xiuyuan disappeared from sight.
Xu Zeda and the others were secretly shocked when they saw this. They had not expected that this chief seed was so skilled in the art of concealment, and that it was so mysterious.
But even now, they are still somewhat bewildered.
It felt like a dream. So few people, following Lin Xiuyuan to snipe at the enemy's troops?
For a moment, Xu Zeda couldn't help but look back repeatedly, hoping that Pang Hongbo or Zhong Kangshun would appear and stop Lin Xiuyuan's crazy idea.
But, it wasn't until they had gone far away that...
Pang Hongbo and Zhong Kangshun arrived just in time. The enemy's offensive had been quite fierce earlier, which had distracted them and left them no time to examine the jade slip.
By the time I learned of this, it was already too late.
After learning from the disciples of the Xuanmai lineage in the area that Lin Xiuyuan and his group had already left, the two men's expressions instantly turned grim.
"Didn't you consult with Manager Lin before? And this is the result you came to?"
Pang Hongbo looked at Zhong Kangshun with a serious and somewhat gloomy expression.
Zhong Kangshun's expression was also extremely ugly. He said, "No, didn't I tell you before? But who would have thought that Manager Lin's method would be to personally take the risk, and with such a small group of people!"
Pang Hongbo shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. I'll take some men to help. We'll rely on you here."
Zhong Kangshun hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. If the news of Pang Hongbo's departure were to reach the ranks of the rogue cultivators, the attack they would face would be incredibly fierce. If anything unexpected were to happen, the situation would become extremely perilous without such a heavyweight figure in charge.
However, for these protectors, the safety of Lin Xiuyuan, this core disciple and the chief seed, was of greater importance...
It can be said that even all the resources in Fengxia could not compare to Lin Xiuyuan.
Zhong Kangshun was speechless for a moment, only inwardly blaming Lin Xiuyuan for being so reckless and adventurous!
Just as Pang Hongbo was about to mobilize his two protectors to catch up with Lin Xiuyuan, the communication jade slip at his waist flashed.
Pang Hongbo picked it up and saw that it was a message from Lin Xiuyuan, telling him to remain calm, not to act rashly, to hold the stronghold, and to return shortly...
