Chapter 265: A Strategy to Defeat the Enemy
The Wanxian League did not mention in its announcement how many of the nine powerful Hedao masters from the Five Elders Council died.
But the loss is definitely heavy.
Otherwise, the Five Elders Association, which was so arrogant just now, would not have become like a toothless tiger in an instant, withdrawing its forces and switching from offense to defense.
In this incident, the only person known to everyone was the fallen Hedao monk.
Instead, it belongs to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
But he didn't die in battle, but was executed.
Because he is a spy.
A man who has been hiding in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for nearly a thousand years, and no one has been able to detect him.
He holds a high position, and no one would suspect him of being a spy for the Five Elders Society until his identity is revealed.
Tianyuzhou, the Immortal Lord of Purple Sky.
Sitting in the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals League's Martial Arts Hall, he is invaluable.
It was precisely because this Purple Sky Immortal Lord secretly passed on the message that the Five Elders, after some testing and verification, would firmly believe the news that "a cultivator who has achieved the Dao is about to be promoted to the Immortal Lord of Longevity".
This led to the extremely risky strategic move of "sending Nine-Life Hedao monks deep into enemy territory."
Because this isn't the first time either.
In the previous operations, the Five Elders Association has tasted enough sweetness.
The last time this was done was during the raid on the Five Elements Cave.
That’s right, at that time, it was this Purple Sky Immortal who leaked the news about the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
His men received a request for help from the expedition team, hoping that the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could send people to assist in relocating the Five Elements Cave.
As for the value of this cave, the Immortal Master Ziqiong knows better than most people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
So he secretly conveyed the news to the Five Elders Association.
That's why the Five Elders Council was able to react so quickly and even arrive before the support from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance arrived.
Even later, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance sent out a pursuit team of eight Hedao monks out of anger.
With the leak from the high-ranking Immortal Ziqiong, the Five Elders Council also knew the entire staffing configuration.
If nothing unexpected happened.
A Jindan cultivator who was ignored in the team actually burst out with a combat power comparable to that of a Hedao cultivator, and turned the tide at the critical moment.
I'm afraid that the eight Hedaoists who are in charge of the pursuit will most likely die on the battlefield.
But even so, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance suffered heavy losses in this incident.
Although the Five Elders Association also suffered some losses, it was completely acceptable in comparison.
The only pity is that because the incident happened suddenly, we didn’t have time to mobilize enough manpower in a hurry.
The mission to steal the Five Elements Cave has failed.
No matter what, as the deepest nail sunk by the Five Elders into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the information provided by Ziqiong Immortal Venerable should be absolutely trustworthy.
Therefore, even if one "sends a Nine-Life Hedao monk deep into enemy territory", this behavior is theoretically extremely risky.
The Five Elders Association still does this.
So they fell into the trap that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had carefully set for them.
Some people within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have been brooding over the inexplicable leak of the news about the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
The monk's name was not stated in the announcement.
It is just referred to as [Gu Ying].
One of Gu Ying's good friends was one of the eight Hedao monks who participated in the pursuit.
A good friend died tragically, and it was also my duty.
Gu Ying swore that he would find the spy hidden deep in the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
After the Tianlingzhou War ended, an investigation was initiated within the Wanxian League.
It was Gu Ying who was in charge of this matter.
Unfortunately, the status of Ziqiong Immortal Venerable is too high and he is too well hidden.
Even if there is some suspicion, there is nothing that can be done about him without substantial evidence.
The final result can only be left unresolved.
However, Gu Ying did not give up easily.
A bold plan was born in his mind.
If you really have to explain it, it's actually very simple.
It's nothing more than "luring the snake out of its hole".
However, this plan involves too many things, and if you are not careful, it may fail.
Gu Ying was a little hesitant at first.
But he finally withstood the pressure and slowly completed the layout.
Gradually, news spread that there was a cultivator within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who was about to achieve immortality.
It began to spread quietly among the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Moreover, many Hedao monks received invitations to assist and disappeared.
Ziqiong Immortal Venerable naturally also learned the news.
However, Ziqiong had no way to guarantee the accuracy of the news.
In addition, he has only been investigated not long ago and has not yet completely cleared himself of suspicion.
Ziqiong did not intend to take the risk to verify the authenticity of this news himself.
However, this matter is too serious.
If a new Immortal Lord is born in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance...
After hesitating for a long time, Ziqiong passed the news to the Five Elders Association.
Just let the Five Elders Association verify it themselves.
The Five Elders Association, who received the news, attached great importance to it.
It happened that a sect's ruins suddenly descended on Jiushan Province, which borders the two sides, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
The Five Elders Council took this opportunity to send out a Divine Transformation cultivator to provoke and test the enemy in a high-profile manner.
The reaction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was very strange.
He spoke harsher words than anyone else and issued a solemn warning, saying something like "If you dare to come, you will die."
However, he only sent a few gods to support the battle.
When will the Divine Transformation cultivator be able to lead the charge?
With so many Hedao monks in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, where are they now?
You know, if there is no Hedao monk in charge.
Even if we don't use other forces, let this incarnation monk named Luo Xi go to the meeting alone.
With only one Divine Transformation cultivator in Jiushan Province, can the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance do anything to him?
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would not be unaware of this.
Could it be that after receiving a loud slap in the face, he was just going to endure it?
what happened?
The so-called solemn warning.
From the perspective of the Five Elders Council, it was obvious that this was a case of appearing to be powerful but actually being weak.
Rather than saying it is for the Five Elders Council to see, it is more like it is for the people within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to see.
Just to reassure the people.
It seems that the message conveyed by Immortal Master Ziqiong is very likely to be true!
There really is a Hedao cultivator within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who is about to do something that goes against the laws of heaven and earth.
Even the results of divination and deduction many times have verified that this is true!
The Five Elders Council suddenly became anxious.
No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would swallow their anger and compare themselves with a newly promoted Immortal Lord.
Forget about saving face, even losing a few states would be acceptable.
Once you are promoted successfully, all those lost things will come back in an instant.
No, we must stop it!
So, the Five Elders suddenly declared war.
At the same time, a team of nine Hedao monks, based on the information provided by Ziqiong, went to Tianyuzhou to carry out the mission of disrupting the promotion.
But I didn't expect that everything was a trap.
…
Li Fan had a puzzled look on his face as he read the arrogant announcement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance several times.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
“If you don’t stand at that height, you won’t be able to understand the full picture of what happened.”
"As to what happened, perhaps we can only look back and see what happened after it is over."
“Only then can we learn something.”
