"Brother Lin is truly a military genius. He remains so calm and composed in this situation, which is truly admirable."
Liu Rong looked at Lin Xiuyuan, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely.
She never imagined that the once timid and weak cultivator would transform into a leading talent in his region, standing proudly at the pinnacle of the younger generation. His influence was so great that it could sway the situation in an entire area.
The world is like fleeting clouds, ever-changing and unpredictable, which makes one sigh deeply.
Liu Rong thought to herself that the opportunities and good fortune Lin Xiuyuan had encountered along the way were probably far beyond what she could achieve.
Outsiders, unaware of the truth, only knew that Lin Xiuyuan possessed extraordinary talent, having an unparalleled talent in the path of talismanic arts that was unmatched by others. They could only admire him and admit their inferiority.
But Liu Rong knew very well that Lin Xiuyuan was once just a small cultivator with mixed spiritual roots, timid and insignificant, who struggled to make progress on the path of cultivation.
Whether or not one can complete the Qi Refining stage of cultivation is still unknown.
But now...
Aside from extraordinary circumstances and unforeseen events, there is little other explanation.
However, Liu Rong didn't have any particular interest in this.
Firstly, it's difficult; secondly, it involves old friends.
Liu Rong smiled and said, "Now that Brother Wushi is coming from his side, intending to cut off Yunxiao's retreat, does Brother Lin not plan to withdraw his troops either?"
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm. "I probably knew this even earlier than you... Did that guy surnamed Wu send a message instructing you to hold out here and buy us some time?"
Liu Rong was taken aback when she heard this, wondering why Lin Xiuyuan knew so much about it and was so calm about it.
Logically speaking, the main force of the demonic path should have come from the rear, with overwhelming momentum.
Even though they had suffered heavy losses and depleted their strength in the previous battles with Lin Xiuyuan, if they were to devote all their forces to a full-scale attack, they would still be able to confront and compete with the Yunxiao Sect head-on.
Moreover, their choice to outflank the Cloud Soaring Sect from the rear is a fierce offensive that should be extremely oppressive and capable of drastically changing the entire battle situation. A slight misstep could very well leave the Cloud Soaring Sect vulnerable to attacks from both sides!
They might end up being attacked from both sides!
Why is Lin Xiuyuan so calm?
It was as if everything was under his control.
Liu Rong's doubts deepened, and the look of confusion on her face became more and more obvious. Just as she was about to ask what was on her mind,
Lin Xiuyuan seemed to see through her thoughts and spoke directly, his tone calm and confident: "How could I be completely unprepared for the main defensive line of the Iron Peak Forest when I launched this surprise attack on the Yellow Sand Mine? I have already dispatched many Xuanmai disciples to set up layers of exquisite formations on the inevitable path of the demonic army to hinder them."
He paused slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "After our many encounters, Wu Xingteng only feels fear and dread towards me!"
"This man is too intimidated by my reputation. In previous battles, he has always acted cautiously. If he had been more aggressive and decisive, I would not have had such a smooth victory... Ha, how can such a mediocre talent be worthy of being my opponent? He is not qualified to play chess with me at all."
"I'm deliberately creating a diversion this time. The main force of the demonic path will definitely be suspicious and hesitant. They will proceed cautiously and prudently, fearing that this is a carefully set trap and worrying that I will launch a surprise attack." Lin Xiuyuan continued with a playful smile on his lips.
"Under such circumstances, how could they dare to easily risk their army? After all, that army is your last resort. If it is lost, the Lingyan Mountains will be in grave danger, or even tantamount to surrendering them. Therefore, they would never dare to be reckless and aggressive, directly cutting off our army's rear and engaging in a head-on confrontation."
"Given the current situation in the Lingyan Mountains, Wu Xingteng cannot afford any further risks. For him, reinforcements are imminent, and holding onto the Lingyan Mountains, his last stronghold, would be a great achievement; conversely, if he fails, his path to immortality might be over. Given this consideration, how could he dare to engage me in a direct battle?"
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes gleamed with wisdom. "Hehe, that's precisely why we still have plenty of time. After we finish talking with Fellow Daoist Liu, it won't be too late to take this place in one fell swoop. Once the second line of defense is breached by our army, how can the first line of defense hold out? We'll be caught in a pincer attack then."
After listening quietly to Lin Xiuyuan's long speech, Liu Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Sure enough, the reputation of this military genius that gradually spread was not unfounded.
The ease with which they manipulated their own forces and their precise control over the entire battle situation are truly admirable.
Liu Rong shook his head helplessly, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed going to make things difficult for me. However... I have answered all that I can. If Brother Lin is still not satisfied, then just do it. Although the True Man did some wrong things back then, he still bestowed upon me a great fortune. I owe everything I have today to the True Man!"
For a moment, although Liu Rong was somewhat certain that Lin Xiuyuan would not harm her, she was still a little uneasy considering his relationship with Liao Yong.
However, Lin Xiuyuan's next words made her feel completely relieved, but also somewhat surprised.
"Rest assured, it was not Fellow Daoist Liu who did this. I would not disregard our past relationship and vent my anger on you. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor..."
Lin Xiuyuan said calmly.
Although he harbored murderous intent, he was unsure whether he could take action against Liu Rong should things turn out the worst.
now.
After hearing Liu Rong's words, the murderous intent he had harbored towards her naturally dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
