Within the Lingxu Market, after learning of the Shadow Society's sinister plot, various factions quickly threw themselves into intense pre-battle preparations. Lin Yang once again summoned the leaders of each faction for an emergency meeting in the council hall of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and everyone's expressions were serious and resolute.
Lin Yang stood in the center of the hall, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "Everyone, we now know that the 'Shadow Society' plans to launch a full-scale attack against us in conjunction with evil cultivators. We don't have much time left, and we must quickly formulate a comprehensive countermeasure, make full use of our existing resources and strength, and strive to win this great battle."
Zhao Wanbao, the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion, spoke first: "Our Wanbaoge Pavilion has successfully refined the magic weapon 'Shadow Rift Blade,' which incorporates mysterious substances. After testing, its power is immense. Next, we will accelerate the refining of more such magic weapons and distribute them to elite members of various forces to enhance everyone's combat capabilities. At the same time, we will also use these magic weapons to build a powerful defense and early warning system covering the entire Lingxu Market, so that we can detect any enemies that approach in time."
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect continued, "Our Spirit Sword Sect has found rare materials in the ancient city for refining pills that enhance spiritual power. The alchemists of the Spirit Union Merchant Guild have already begun refining these pills. These pills will not only enhance the spiritual power of those participating in the battle, but also quickly restore the spiritual power lost during combat. In addition, our Sword Cultivator Association will strengthen the training of sword formations, improving the variations and attack methods of the sword formations in response to the characteristics of the 'Shadow Society' and evil cultivators, striving to unleash greater power on the battlefield."
The president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce also said, "On the one hand, our chamber of commerce will assist Wanbaoge in improving its defense and early warning system, and on the other hand, we will increase our reserves of supplies. Pills, magic weapons, spirit crystals and other supplies will be supplied to everyone in a continuous stream. At the same time, we will also organize ordinary members of the chamber of commerce to form a logistics support team, responsible for treating the wounded and delivering supplies during battles."
The head of the joint intelligence team stood up and said, "We will continue to closely monitor the movements of the 'Shadow Society' and the evil cult forces to ensure we have timely access to their latest intelligence. We will notify everyone immediately if we discover any of their actions."
After in-depth discussion, the group formulated a detailed battle plan. First, they would set up multiple layers of defensive arrays around the Lingxu Market, a collaborative effort between the magical artifacts of the Wanbaoge and the array masters of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce. These arrays would not only defend against enemy attacks but also interfere with and weaken their spiritual power. Simultaneously, they would utilize the magical artifacts of the Wanbaoge to construct an early warning system, ensuring that enemy attacks could be detected in advance.
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect will form the vanguard, launching the first attack when the enemy approaches, disrupting their formation with a fierce sword array. The sword cultivators will flexibly change their sword arrays according to the different characteristics of the enemies. For example, when facing evil cultivators who are good at close combat, they will use the "Eight Trigrams Locking Dragon Sword Array," which is tight in defense and sharp in attack; when facing enemies who attack from a distance, they will use the "Swift Wind Illusion Sword Array," which allows for rapid movement and counterattacks.
The disciples of Wanbaoge will operate various powerful magical artifacts from the rear, providing long-range fire support to the front lines. They will precisely strike key enemy targets based on the battlefield situation, such as the core of enemy formations and command personnel. Simultaneously, Wanbaoge will also deploy a group of disciples skilled in stealth and surprise attacks to infiltrate enemy ranks at crucial moments in the battle and sabotage important enemy facilities.
In addition to logistical support, members of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce also utilize the guild's various esoteric arts and special magical artifacts to assist in combat. For example, they use mist artifacts that can interfere with the enemy's vision and perception to create favorable combat conditions for their side; and they employ rune artifacts that can break through enemy formations to assist sword cultivators and Wanbaoge disciples in breaking through the enemy's defenses.
In the days that followed, the Lingxu Market was a hive of activity. Inside the Wanbaoge's weapon-refining workshop, the furnaces roared as master weapon refiners worked day and night to forge magical artifacts. One after another, magical artifacts infused with mysterious substances were born, radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. The deployment of the defense and early warning system was also proceeding smoothly, with various magical artifacts placed in key locations throughout the Lingxu Market, forming a tight network.
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect were undergoing intensive training in the valley. They practiced sword formations repeatedly, constantly adjusting their coordination. The elders personally guided them, providing targeted training for various possible combat scenarios. The shouts of the sword cultivators echoed through the valley, their eyes filled with a thirst for battle and an unwavering belief in victory.
The alchemists of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce stood guard by their alchemy furnaces, intently refining pills to enhance spiritual power. A rich medicinal aroma filled the furnaces as each pill was born from their meticulous craftsmanship. Meanwhile, the Chamber's logistics team was undergoing intensive training, learning how to quickly treat the wounded and efficiently deliver supplies on the battlefield.
The members of the joint intelligence team dispersed to various locations, venturing into areas where the enemy might appear to gather intelligence. They carefully avoided enemy surveillance, made contact with informants in different places, and did not overlook any possible clues.
As time passed, the defenses of the Spirit Ruins Market gradually strengthened, and the preparations of various forces became increasingly thorough. However, everyone knew that the Shadow Society and the evil cultivators were also meticulously planning their attack, making this battle an unprecedented and severe test. Lin Yang looked at the busy crowd, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that the outcome of this battle not only concerned the survival of the Spirit Ruins Market but also the future of the entire cultivation world. He secretly vowed to lead everyone to protect the Spirit Ruins Market and fight for the peace and tranquility of the cultivation world.
Finally, on a cloudy night, the joint intelligence team delivered an urgent message: the "Shadow Society," in conjunction with other evil cultivators, had assembled and was heading towards the Spirit Ruins Market. Upon receiving this news, everyone in the Spirit Ruins Market quickly went into battle mode. They stood at their posts, ready and waiting for the enemy's arrival. A breathtaking battle was about to unfold in the Spirit Ruins Market. The wind howled, and the dark clouds rolled in, as if they too were preparing for the impending battle. The fate of the Spirit Ruins Market would be rewritten in this fight…
