When Li Yuebai looked up from the case file again, it was already past noon.

"Host." The system's voice sounded again: "Since you have successfully completed the first two tasks and performed well, the system will give you an additional introduction to the original plot."

Every minute and every second of the preparation stage is precious, so Li Yuebai first asked: "Is this plot important?"

"It's related to Master Wanfeng." The system replied.

A backbone force like Wan Guangliu certainly cannot be ignored, and Li Yuebai immediately agreed to take the time to read the original plot.

The system played the video quickly.

The video has been improved compared to the last one. It has become a three-dimensional holographic video, giving people an immersive feeling.

The video content is that Yu Tianji and the original owner Mu Qingning inspected the various mountain gates before the war.

Mu Qingning looked as tired as he is now, but his demeanor and temperament remained unchanged, his eyes were gentle, and he took everything in. He carefully checked the guard situation everywhere, looking for every flaw, and every order was issued just right.

Yu Tianji was also trying hard to cheer himself up and show the aura of an Immortal Lord, and he and Mu Qingning cooperated well.

Soon, they patrolled the two mountain gates in the south - these two mountain gates were guarded by monks from Qinglong Peak.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened just as we reached the mountain gate.

Wan Guangliu, the leader of Qinglong Peak, with a long sword on his waist and a furious look on his face, strode straight towards Mu Qingning.

"Master Wanfeng, what's the matter?" Mu Qingning was neither humble nor arrogant, with a gentle expression.

"Master Jijiu, your tactical arrangement must have gone wrong, right?" Wan Guangliu sneered, "Why did you order Master Qiu Mingqiu to guard the main gate, and order me to guard the secondary gate?"

There are two mountain gates on the south side, one is the main gate and the other is the secondary gate. The main gate is slightly larger and the secondary gate is slightly smaller. Because of this distinction, the monks think that the main gate is more important, and if they can defend the main gate, they will have greater merit.

Wan Guangliu and Qiu Ming have always been sworn enemies because of various conflicts of interest. Wan Guangliu's Qinglong Peak is stronger, so he has always looked down on Qiu Ming.

This time, Mu Qingning sent Qiu Ming to guard the main gate, and let himself guard the secondary gate. Wan Guangliu was of course dissatisfied, so he simply questioned him directly in front of everyone.

"Master Wanfeng, my arrangement was carefully considered and I have no intention of disrespecting you." Mu Qingning smiled and said, "Everyone, don't think that the main gate is the main gate and the secondary gate is the secondary gate."

"Oh? I'd like to hear your reasons!" Wan Guangliu said.

Next, Mu Qingning explained the reasons for this arrangement in an orderly manner. He spoke quickly and his thoughts were clear. After he finished speaking, everyone was convinced.

It turned out that the Demon Cult would most likely focus its attack on the secondary gate, and Qinglong Peak's fighting style was more suitable for smaller openings, so this arrangement was perfect.

Wan Guangliu blushed and had to bow his head and said, "Master Jijiu is indeed very thoughtful. I admire you!"

Then he bowed, turned and left.

Next, the system played another video.

It was after the battle, and Wan Guangliu was in his own study at Qinglong Peak, discussing matters with a few of his trusted subordinates.

"Peak Master, Mu Qingning is too disrespectful to you regarding the gatekeeping matter!" A female cultivator said, "He clearly knew that this arrangement made sense, but he refused to inform you in advance, causing misunderstanding!"

"I think Mu Qingning is trying to suppress you." Another monk added, "He deliberately made you unhappy and provoked you to argue with him in front of everyone, and then he slowly gave you the reasons. Everyone in Kunlun thought you were being unreasonable and he was considering the overall situation."

"Yes, Mu Qingning has evil intentions and must have other purposes." Someone else said, "Not to mention that he later sent someone to appease the Peak Master in a hypocritical manner. He is really good at dealing with people and taking advantage of every opportunity!"

"Don't say such things again." Seeing that they were going too far, Wan Guangliu also pretended to be angry and said, "He is the chief priest of Kunlun, and I am just the peak master. How dare you talk about him behind his back? You should follow the rules!"

Although he said this, Li Yuebai could still see that Wan Guangliu was just as dissatisfied with Mu Qingning as his subordinates.

After the video finished playing, Li Yuebai sighed.

The part where Mu Qingning persuades Wan Guangliu looks very familiar. It is a common plot in various entertainment works in the real world - the supporting characters are unreasonable, the protagonist has reasons and evidence, and everyone is convinced after listening to the protagonist's words.

But according to Wan Guangliu's character, this plot actually planted the seeds of disaster, and his resentment towards Mu Qingning would only grow heavier.

Logically speaking, Mu Qingning really can't be blamed for this. He has been thorough enough. No matter how thorough a person is, it is impossible to take good care of everyone's mental state. He will always offend people.

What's more, Mu Qingning was very busy during that period, so how could he have the time to explain everything to Wan Guangliu in advance?

Li Yuebai looked at his case file. He remembered it clearly - he had issued the order to send Wan Guangliu to guard the secondary gate and Qiu Ming to guard the main gate a day ago. This decision was exactly the same as the original owner's.

Forget it. Since the system has reminded me, I should just listen to the advice and explain myself no matter how busy I am.

At this time, Yu Tianji came in with several subordinates.

Li Yuebai currently works in the Auspicious Palace. In order to provide him with a quiet environment, Yu Tianji specially opened a study room for him in the Auspicious Palace so that he would not be disturbed easily.

"Master Mu, please follow me to inspect the mountain gate." It was rare for Yu Tianji to wear clothes that did not reveal his chest. At first glance, it was unrecognizable that it was him.

It was a strict black suit, the material was very solid, without any extravagance, the collar and cuffs were tightened, obviously prepared for battle. Yu Tianji's hairstyle also changed, the long hair that was originally casually scattered was now neatly tied up with an ebony hair crown, looking more decent.

Only the smile on the corner of his mouth has not changed.

Inspecting the mountain gate?

The scene in the video took place during the inspection of the mountain gate.

Fortunately, there's still time.

Li Yuebai's pen moved quickly on the paper. After a while, he had written a letter. He folded the letter and handed it to a reliable monk, ordering him to deliver it to Wan Guangliu as soon as possible.

The letter was naturally addressed to Wan Guangliu, and its content patiently explained why he was sent to guard the second gate.

But Li Yuebai put some thought into his writing style, using his experience in dealing with difficult parents at parents' meetings. His words were sincere and sincere, taking the other party's thoughts into consideration at every turn, and even the most picky person would not be able to find fault with it.

I can't expect Wan Guangliu to really have a good impression of me after reading this letter, but I can guarantee that he won't jump out and blame me later.

After the monk Yi Jian who delivered the letter flew out, Li Yuebai followed Yu Tianji out of the Auspicious Hall.

Yu Tianji had difficulty walking and the mountain gate was far away, so of course he couldn't walk there, so he used his sword to fly. This time, taking the impact into consideration, he didn't cling to Li Yuebai, but instead, one person, one sword.

It was afternoon, the sky was clear and everything was visible clearly.

In the past, in Kunlun, the monks would either play chess or admire flowers in groups of three or four, or gather in rooms to discuss Taoism. It was a leisurely scene. But now, there are no more groups of three or two. Every monk has been organized into a team, each with his own duties and strict discipline. Everyone has a tense face, a long sword hanging around his waist, and they move hurriedly but in an orderly manner to complete their respective tasks.

At the mountain gate, there were even more monks, and they had already formed the formation arranged by Li Yuebai and were practicing repeatedly.

Seeing Yu Tianji coming, the monks saluted one after another.

Yu Tianji waved his hands and said, "No need, no need. With a powerful enemy in front of us, just practice with peace of mind."

Having said that, he flew high up with his sword.

The monks all secretly admired him behind his back.

Everyone knew that this second son's Taoism was a mess, and he even made a scene at the old immortal's funeral, dropping his sword. But today, he was in good shape and skilled in swordplay.

Li Yuebai could see the expressions of the crowd. He smiled and said, "You are all busy practicing the formation. I'm afraid you haven't seen the Immortal Lord's "Book of Confession" yet?"

Just the day before yesterday, Yu Tianji asked someone to draft a "Letter of Confession" for himself and posted it.

This is a bit like the emperors in the real world. In ancient times, whenever there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the emperor would issue a "self-criticism edict" to reflect on his mistakes. Yu Tianji had been a playboy since he was a child, and even ten self-criticisms would not change his image. So, he simply wrote the self-criticism into a declaration of war, in which he scolded the Demon Cult and refuted its combat power one by one. With the help of Li Yuebai, this book was written in a grand and well-reasoned manner. After reading it, the Kunlun monks could not help but have more confidence and their impression of the new Immortal Lord improved.

Some people even secretly discussed that: Perhaps, the more this kind of new immortal master does not follow the ancestral rules and rituals, the more hope he has of defeating the Demon Cult. After all, the Demon Cult cannot figure out his thoughts...

After inspecting all the mountain gates along the way, each of them was in full military order. Finally, they arrived at the two mountain gates in the south.

From a distance, Li Yuebai saw Wan Guangliu, and next to him stood the monk who delivered the letter. It was obvious that Wan Guangliu had finished reading his letter.

Sure enough, Wan Guangliu just nodded from a distance and was busy leading the Qinglong Peak monks to practice formations. He did not come forward to argue with him.

Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this plot had been changed.

Soon it was getting dark, and in the darkness, the two of them inspected the southern mountain gate and spoke some words to encourage morale. Suddenly, a crack appeared somewhere in the mountain gate.

Soon, a hole was briefly opened in the mountain gate. The whole process took less than two seconds, and several black-robed monks jumped in within these two seconds.

"Who is it?" The monks hurriedly grasped their swords and spoke sternly.

"Don't panic, everyone. These are scouts sent out by me." Li Yuebai said.

When two armies are at war, scouts must be sent out, and the advantage of Kunlun is that it can secretly open the mountain gate to let people out, and then secretly open the mountain gate to let people in at any time.

The monks who came in didn't bother to say anything else and hurriedly reported: "Looking at the situation over there, the Demon Cult will start attacking tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow..." Li Yuebai pondered for a moment and said, "Quickly notify everyone and let each team prepare for the battle."
