"You, me, this..."
Yao Qingque was speechless, completely dumbfounded.
If I had that ability, would I need to grovel and beg you?
If I'm of any use, I'm not completely useless!
Yao Qingque was so frustrated she felt like she was going to vomit blood, and she almost blurted out "Geneva refund!"
However, upon seeing Bai Cang's dangerous gaze, he swallowed his words and immediately changed his tune, asking, "How confident are you, Master?"
I almost forgot, this "rising dawn" requires you to pay them, and they'll kill the employer for every penny they lose, regardless of whether the employee actually does any work.
"As for the odds, let's say it's fifty-fifty!"
Bai Cang blurted out, "But you have no other choice but to abandon all illusions and prepare for battle, don't you?"
Anyway, before the fight, it was a 50/50 chance against anyone.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qingque's expression softened slightly, and she had no choice but to believe Bai Cang's lies.
I'll say it again: she had no choice!
"Since we've decided to go to war, let's reveal our cards first!"
Bai Cang then added, "As the saying goes: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"
"If the mountain-protecting formation remains intact, how many True Lords do you think you can hold off?"
After thinking carefully for a moment, Yao Qingque gritted her teeth and said, "If the mountain-protecting formation is not broken, the patriarch should be able to hold off five to seven True Monarchs for at least half an hour."
"If I mobilize the entire sect and unleash the Heavenly Thunder Five Capital Dragon Fang Sea-Breaking Divine Ship, it should be no problem to hold off three or four True Monarchs before all those below the Dao Foundation True Person are killed."
Yao Qingque truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran True Lord of Heshan Dao.
She hesitated for a while before making up her mind.
Once they make up their minds, they also have the courage to go all in.
According to her calculations, it's clear that she's willing to risk the lives of everyone in Heshandao, even at the risk of the mountain gate being destroyed, just to give the other side a ruthless blow!
The key question now is: can Bai Cang be the crucial element to break the deadlock?
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up: Goodness, you won't know how much potential you have until you're pushed, right?
Seven plus four equals eleven, while the other side "only" has Thirteen True Lords present.
Doesn't that mean...?
In a short period of time, I only need to face two True Lords working together?
Bai Cang mentally solved a simple elementary school math problem and suddenly felt that there was great potential in it.
If he had only made things up casually before, just to appease Yao Qingque...
Now, he really feels like it's a 50/50 chance!
"But there is a problem: it is almost impossible for the other side to risk their lives before the mountain-protecting formation is broken."
After Yao Qingque finished sharing the good news, she immediately added, "If they don't enter the formation, all of these plans will just be castles in the air."
Bai Cang leaped up, and the "Zhaoling Heavenly Eye" manifested, bringing the entire area within a thousand miles into view.
Clearly, the Thousand Mountains Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and Ghost Mother Mountain have joined forces to assemble this lineup of thirteen True Monarchs, blatantly intending to "strike while the iron is hot" and aiming to destroy the Heshan Sect.
However, despite having an absolute advantage, they were overly cautious.
One by one, they leaped into the air, never getting too close to the mountain-protecting formation, but instead bombarding it from a distance with their magical treasures and supernatural powers.
This is also why the protective array of Heshan Road has been able to withstand the test for so long.
"It seems they are certain that Lao Yao and his group will not be able to escape their predicament anytime soon!"
Bai Cang also had a headache upon seeing this, "And we also have to calculate accurately the extent of Venerable Yin Sha's injuries, which will definitely not heal in the short term."
That's why they dared to be so unscrupulous, slowly eroding the protective mountain formation by gradually weakening it.
This is a strategy to take over the entire Heshan Road with minimal cost!
Subconsciously, Bai Cang immediately thought of strategies such as forming alliances and sowing discord.
If the "Blood Spirit lineage" is actually a demon spirit clone that has possessed the Blood Fiend Forbidden Land, could it incite the Five Poisons Sect and Ghost Mother Mountain to join forces and betray the Thousand Mountains Sect?
However, Bai Cang quickly dismissed the idea.
The reason why the three sects joined forces to attack Heshan this time was that Heshan Dao was too strong, which seriously affected their interests and caused the situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains to lose balance.
The sixteen True Lords guarding Heshan Mountain certainly sounds incredibly powerful.
However, this also means being the target of public criticism and being at the center of controversy, which is the same as the "Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage" of the Jie Sect.
Even if Bai Cang reveals the truth, they will probably pretend not to know and focus on destroying Heshandao first.
Even the current high-ranking officials of Ghost Mother Mountain may not be unaware of the truth.
The attack on Heshan by the Thirteen True Lords was indeed led by the Thousand Mountains Sect.
However, if after conquering Heshandao, the "Blood Spirit Lineage" is then overthrown by the Xuanmen sect Qingsuan, leading to the decline or even demise of Qianshan Sect.
Wouldn't that mean that the entire Ten Thousand Mountains would only be left with their three unorthodox sects: Ghost Mother Mountain, Five Poisons Sect, and Xuan Yin Cave?
"Fellow Daoist Qingque, the reason you've been guarding the mountain gate is to protect Venerable Yin Sha, right?"
Thinking of this, Bai Cang suddenly spoke up: "If Venerable Yin Sha breaks through his cultivation and even tries to escape, do you think they will get angry?"
If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both the land and the people; if you save the people but lose the land, you save both the land and the people.
Bai Cang didn't believe in such a simple principle, and Yao Qingque couldn't understand it.
The Heshan Sect, possessing a large-scale war artifact such as the "Heavenly Thunder Five Capitals Dragon Tooth Sea-Breaking Divine Ship," also has the ability to gather most of its elite disciples and forcefully break through the encirclement.
Although Bai Cang had never witnessed the power of the "Heavenly Thunder Five Capitals Dragon Fang Sea-Breaking Divine Ship".
However, he had witnessed the "Daoji version" of the Five-Toothed Warship, which was a powerful weapon capable of destroying mountains and temples and dominating its peers.
The "Heavenly Thunder Five Capital Dragon Tooth Sea-Breaking Divine Ship," which is regarded as the sect's treasure by Heshan Dao, must be quite impressive.
"As long as the Venerable One is alive, Heshan will exist. If the Venerable One is not here, whether Heshan is destroyed or not will be meaningless."
As if guessing Bai Cang's thoughts, Yao Qingque shook her head without hesitation, "Even if the entire sect perishes at the mountain gate, I will never allow anyone to do anything detrimental to the Venerable One!"
Moreover, the Patriarch only obeys the orders of the Venerable Ones and guards the mountain gate to the death. Without the Patriarch's cooperation, we can't do anything.
If Yao Kaishan and the others were trapped at the gates of the Thousand Mountains Sect, Venerable Yinsha would be the last reliance and hope of the Heshan Sect.
If even Venerable Yinsha were to perish, Yao Qingque would have no chance of supporting the Heshan Sect.
Not to mention the Dao Foundation Realm cultivators below!
At that point, let's not even talk about the fact that the opposing True Lord will relentlessly pursue and kill us.
Even if they were allowed to break through, Heshandao would essentially perish without being defeated!
Therefore, no matter what Bai Cang was planning, as long as it involved Venerable Yin Sha, Yao Qingque was determined to never agree.
Even if it means mutual destruction, we will never compromise!
Bai Cang clearly sensed her determination.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly, and his white teeth gradually transformed into sharp teeth. His pupils also changed, forming a pair of vertical pupils.
"Sing!"
The next moment.
With a long roar, he transformed into a winged dragon amidst the thunder, soaring into the sky and stirring up a storm of wind, rain, and lightning.
The dragon's roar was long and resonant, shaking the universe; the heavens trembled, thunder roared, and wind and rain howled.
The golden scales shone brightly, and the entire sky trembled violently.
It was only a hundred feet long, yet it seemed to occupy the entire sky.
Immediately afterwards, the golden Yinglong swayed in the air and transformed into a white Teng Snake, appearing and disappearing amidst the clouds and mist.
"Fellow Daoist Qingque, how much do I resemble the Venerable One?!"
