Gushan, inside Lu Xuansheng’s hermitage.
Yan Haiping and Xue Qingxia were protecting Lu Xuansheng, while Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Jian, Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing were standing at the door of the temple.
Li Xuanyi's left arm had grown back under the powerful magic power of Taiyi Xuanxian, but he was not used to it yet, so he kept it in his sleeve.
"I took this arrangement for granted." Fang Jian sighed and said, "The failure of this plan is my responsibility."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Master, don't blame yourself. Everything is subject to change. How can human beings predict it?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "I'm afraid we can't hide it this time. Lan Jianling must have already informed the Zhenyang Taoist Palace. I'm afraid the people from the Zhenyang Taoist Palace are almost in Huacheng now."
Zhao Yangqing said: "The Taoist friends from Shaoyang Mountain and Yuhua Temple have all shown up. If the Zhenyang Taoist Palace sends people over, after they arrive in Huacheng, they will search for us and hunt us down."
"We can't give them this opportunity." Fang Jian said slowly.
Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing's gaze fell on Fang Jian again. Li Xuanyi asked, "Master Dafang, what are the arrangements for the future?"
At this point, Li Xuanyi added, "If the Zhenyang Dao Palace sends more than five Taiyi Xuanxian cultivators, I suggest we flee far away and avoid the attack for the time being."
Zhao Yangqing said, "Master Li is right."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside without saying a word. He knew that the atmosphere between the three of them was very subtle at this moment.
Lu Xuansheng had failed before, and even Li Xuanyi who went to rescue him was injured. Although no one had expected this turn of events, it was Fang Jian's plan after all, so the responsibility for the failure naturally lay with Fang Jian.
It’s not that Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing don’t trust Fang Jian, but they are more inclined to be cautious at the moment, temporarily avoiding the limelight and looking for another opportunity.
Fang Jian was silent for a moment after hearing this and then said, "Master Li, Master Zhao, please come with me for another walk outside Huacheng."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yangqing. Zhao Yangqing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go again."
After receiving Zhao Yangqing's reply, Li Xuanyi simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Fang Jian walked into Lu Xuansheng's abode and looked at Zhao Yangqing, who was sitting cross-legged on a wooden couch healing his wounds. Fang Jian walked over to Yan Haiping and said, "If you need any elixirs, please ask Master Yan."
Upon hearing this, Yan Haiping stood up, bowed to Fang Jian, and said, "Thank you, Master Dafang, for your concern. I hope Master Dafang will not blame Junior Brother Lu for not being successful this time."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "This matter is not your fault, Fellow Daoist Lu. It was my fault for planning errors and taking things for granted. The fault lies with me."
Yan Haiping shook his head and asked, "Master Dafang, the failure of this operation must have attracted the attention of the Zhenyang Dao Palace. What should we do next?"
Fang Jian said, "Abbot Li and Abbot Zhao suggested that we flee far away and avoid the limelight for the time being. I intend to go to Huacheng with the two Abbots in the early morning."
Yan Haiping immediately understood what was going on and said, "No matter what the situation is, our Yuhua Temple will always support Dafang Zhenren. I wonder what Dafang Zhenren needs our Yuhua Temple to do when he heads to Huacheng in the early hours of the morning?"
Fang Jian said, "That's right. I hope that Abbey Master Yan can stay at Gushan and coordinate the disciples of the three academies to guard Gushan."
After saying this, Fang Jian took out a Thick Earth and Rock Formation Plate and said, "This is the Plate of the Thick Earth and Rock Formation. First, you should refine it, then bury it underground to connect it with the earth's energy. If there are no enemies, ignore it. If there are enemies approaching, you can immediately activate the formation defense."
Upon hearing this, Yan Haiping immediately took over the Thick Earth and Rock Formation and said, "Okay, please rest assured, Master Dafang."
Fang Jian turned around and nodded to Xue Qingxia again before walking out of the abode.
After leaving the temple, Fang Jian said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "General Zhu, you should go to bed early tonight."
What this meant was that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others didn't need to do anything tonight and could rest early.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay, the three of you will go to Huacheng later. Please take care of yourselves."
The three men bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded in agreement. Then Zhu Yuanzhang left and returned to his room.
"Let's go, let's set off now." Fang Jian said to Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing.
Li Xuan said, "Wait a minute."
As Fang Jian and Zhao Yangqing looked at each other, Li Xuanyi said to Zhao Yangqing, "I also need to tell my disciples that when we are not in the mountains, you must obey the orders of Abbey Master Yan and General Zhu."
"Yes." Zhao Yangqing nodded and said, "It should be so."
Afterwards, the two of them immediately returned to the temple and summoned all the disciples who were at the Nascent Soul stage and above, instructing them to obey the orders of Master Yan and General Zhu and not to act recklessly.
After the disciples received the order, the two of them set off and reunited with Fang Jian before flying towards Huacheng together.
...
However, Lu Ming and others from the Zhenyang Taoist Palace entered the Zhenyang Palace in Huacheng, and found that there was no damage except for some damage caused by fighting.
After asking the disciples in the palace, I found out that after Lan Jianling was defeated by Li Xuanyi, Li Xuanyi did not enter the city to destroy Zhenyang Palace.
But it’s better this way, at least everyone has a place to stay.
After entering Huacheng Zhenyang Palace, Lu Ming called everyone together for a meeting and said, "If Li Xuanyi and his men don't flee far away, they will definitely camp near Huacheng. We should search for them overnight and eliminate them as soon as possible."
The Taiyi Xuanxian who had been joking with Lan Jianling earlier said, "Daoyou Lu Ming is absolutely right. Our Zhenyang Dao Palace is about to face a major war. If we allow these outsider demons to wreak havoc, they will inevitably become a thorn in the flesh of our Zhenyang Dao Palace. This thorn must be removed as soon as possible."
