When Pang Hongbo and his men arrived, Xu Zeda led his scout team to wipe out all the spies near the loose cultivator camp.
In normal times, the camp of independent cultivators would definitely have noticed something amiss, because the fluctuations in spiritual energy would be difficult to conceal.
However, at that very moment, Daoist Youqing was leading his army in a fierce attack on the Xingyun Formation, hoping to break it as soon as possible so that he could lead his army to surround and kill Lin Xiuyuan.
And so.
They were killed so suddenly and unexpectedly!
The team launched a surprise attack from the rear, easily breaking into the enemy ranks.
When Daoist Youqing turned around and saw this scene, he was stunned and immediately became furious.
"This...this is coming for me?!"
"What audacity! What arrogant behavior!"
Although Daoist Youqing was taken aback, he felt his heart burning with rage.
I thought that Yunxiao Sect's strategy of dividing its forces to attack was to gradually weaken our strength, thereby eliminating the various reinforcements and reversing the situation.
Daoist Youqing felt he had seen through the enemy's scheme, since that was indeed the case on the surface. He had deliberately gathered his forces and only deployed three reinforcements.
But to everyone's surprise, all the guesses turned out to be wrong.
All the responses now seem like a joke!
The other party actually targeted me from the very beginning?
Instead, they launched a campaign to kill the commander first?
"But how dare you? The central army has over two thousand men. Even in a direct confrontation, they have the upper hand. Now, with only a small force, you think you can crush me? How laughable!"
Enraged, Daoist Youqing immediately ordered his entire army to charge forward.
However, his thoughts soon changed completely, and fear began to creep in...
...
"What audacity! What arrogant behavior!"
At the same time, Cheng Mao, who had just received the message, looked up at the array barrier in front of him after confirming that it was true, and couldn't help but murmur aloud.
He had the same reaction as Daoist Youqing.
I never expected Lin Xiuyuan to take such a risk.
Now it's clear: this chief seed was using himself as bait to attract reinforcements from three directions, creating conditions for a surprise attack on the rogue cultivator camp.
Originally, more troops could have been deployed to suppress all six resource sites at once, but for the sake of prudence, this arrangement is enough to gradually suppress the Cloud Soaring Sect and completely destroy it.
It wasn't that they hadn't considered that the Cloud Soaring Sect's target might be the camp of rogue cultivators, but the possibility was too low. After all, with Daoist Youqing in charge and a central army composed of more than two thousand cultivators, it was the most elite force in this army.
So much so that none of them had guessed this level of understanding.
But the most unlikely move actually happened!
"Could it be that they can really break through the camp? Otherwise, why would they use themselves as bait?"
Despite knowing that the camp had ample strength, Cheng Mao couldn't help but feel worried.
He immediately ordered the entire army to halt their offensive and return to their camp to provide assistance.
Although it is somewhat unlikely that the camp would be completely destroyed.
But the top seed was willing to use himself as bait to do this.
It's possible that unexpected situations might indeed occur.
If the camp is breached and our commander is killed, this small spark could ignite a wildfire that spreads throughout our rear.
Cheng Mao was extremely worried about this and made the decision without hesitation to withdraw the entire army to support the camp.
"Everyone, the attack has already begun over there. Protector Pang, Protector Xu, Elder Ge, and others have led a surprise attack on the loose cultivator camp. Together, we will do our best to hold off this reinforcement army. This is our last battle."
Lin Xiuyuan ordered the array portal to be opened, turned around, spoke to the crowd, and then flew away on his sword.
Apart from Zhong Kangshun, everyone else was visibly stunned for a moment. Only after seeing Lin Xiuyuan's escape light gradually disappear into the distance did they hurriedly follow.
"No wonder...we are so few in number, yet we have to fight so many enemies here!"
"And the commander himself led the charge, showing no sign of retreating even as more and more enemies gathered..."
"So that's how it was arranged? Hahaha, it seems we're about to turn the tide in one fell swoop."
After a long and exhausting battle, even with their desire to advance to the upper realm, the disparity between them and the enemy was so great, and the increasing casualties made the situation increasingly serious.
This caused countless cultivators to feel the urge to retreat.
However, at that moment, her mindset immediately changed.
Because we have already seen the hope of victory, and it is extremely high!!
In particular, Lin Xiuyuan's plans have almost never failed.
This boosted everyone's confidence even more.
The thought of turning the tide and achieving victory, and how much spoils they would reap... made all the previous desperate fighting and risking of their lives feel worthwhile.
Instantly, as if injected with adrenaline, he quickly caught up with Lin Xiuyuan's pace.
"Hmph, they actually dare to pursue and hinder our progress? How laughable! If I weren't worried about things changing, I would probably have to break through this place first."
When Cheng Mao saw the Yunxiao Sect chasing after him, his expression darkened.
They wished the army could turn back now and leave this group of people here forever.
Originally, the situation was completely advantageous, with an absolute upper hand. Now, the remaining forces of the enemy have all gone to launch a surprise attack on the camp.
As long as we keep fighting, we will surely win.
But that would be pointless. Unless Lin Xiuyuan can be captured, the goal of 'killing the commander' can still be achieved!
After all, Daoist Youqing was not the only 'handsome' person in the Loose Cultivator Alliance, but the other party was the only one.
