Chapter 318 Prudence

Chapter 318 Prudence

When they heard that it was just a small market, Yan Kai, Cui Liang, Meng Wenxing and others all nodded slightly to express their understanding.

They had different expressions on their faces, but they were secretly relieved.

For a Taoist with multiple eyes in the middle stage of foundation building, even if he doesn't surrender and chooses to fight to the end, he won't be able to make much waves.

In this case, the intensity of the battle would not be too high, and they would be much more relaxed. At least they would not have to worry about their lives being in danger from the beginning.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Although Liu Yu was not familiar with the art of war, he still knew this. After he understood his mission, it didn't take long for him to make up his mind and formulate a preliminary strategy.

According to the map given by the elder, this place is less than thirty miles away from Mang Mountain. With Gui Yuanzhou's escape speed, it can be reached in just over a quarter of an hour.

Give the operation token to Jiang Qiushui and let him control the flying boat.

Liu Yu put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, looking at the mountains below, and fell into deep thought.

…

Mang Mountain, the second-level lower level Lingshan Mountain, is about 280 feet high.

The scenery has no special features and cannot be said to be beautiful, but it is still ordinary and can attract the discernment of the monks.

In the eyes of secular people, it can be called a "fairy resort"

It was occupied by Duomu Taoist in the middle stage of foundation building. Under his management, it gradually became a small market.

Because it had only been established for a few decades, and due to insufficient accumulation and other reasons, it was not very prosperous. Most of the monks who came in and out of this city were in the Qi Refining Stage, and few monks in the Foundation Building Stage came.

But this can be regarded as a foundation, and it is much better than being a helpless and wandering wandering cultivator. At least Duomu Taoist people do not have to worry about spiritual stones.

Under his painstaking management, everything is developing in a good direction, and the market has improved slightly in recent years. The name of Mangshan City has gradually spread within a hundred miles.

In the second half of Youshi, the sky was already dark.

An inconspicuous red light came from the sky. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a spiritual boat. It finally landed on the grassland seven or eight miles away from Mang Mountain.

It was Liu Yu and his party!

The range of spiritual consciousness of monks in the middle stage of foundation building is usually four to six miles, and the distance of seven or eight miles is enough to avoid the scanning of their spiritual consciousness.

Even if Duomu Taoist heard the news about the change of ownership in Guque City, he would not be able to detect it even if he was always on guard.

Liu Yu immediately ordered all the monks to leave Guiyuanzhou and land on the grass first, and asked Jiang Qiushui and others to jointly perform simple illusions to hide everyone's whereabouts.

Guque City is the northernmost fairy city in Youzhou and even the Yan Kingdom. Its status is very important and is comparable to Qianxue City.

The fall of such an important fairy city was earth-shattering news to the entire Baiyun Temple, Youzhou and even Chu State, like thunder on the ground.

As the overlord of the two states, Baiyunguan cannot fail to take corresponding countermeasures.

The information that Yuanyang Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Cangyue Valley sent out teams of monks to conquer the forces along the way in Youzhou is not a top secret. Baiyun Temple may have made corresponding arrangements.

Maybe the disciples he sent would unite with the affiliated forces to form a large net and set up an ambush somewhere, waiting for Chu teams to enter.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Yu's cautious character would naturally not act rashly.

Although Taoist Duomu was originally just a casual cultivator and did not look like he had anything to do with Baiyun Temple, who could say for sure?

If he accidentally fell into an ambush and his team suffered heavy casualties, his plan would basically be ruined.

"First send people into Fangshi to get some information. If there are no problems, we will take action immediately and attack Fangshi with the force of thunder."

"We must win it as quickly as possible so that no news about Mangshanfang City leaks out in a short time."

Putting Gui Yuanzhou into the storage bag, Liu Yu entered the illusion range and said in a deep voice.

This kind of ordinary illusion, with his spiritual consciousness that is close to the peak of foundation building, is of course not affected at all.

Thirty Qi refining teams stood on the grass and whispered to each other. The strange monks began to communicate and become familiar with each other. After all, they were "teammates" who would fight together for a period of time.

The ten foundation-building monks were discussing the next action inside the soundproof shield.

"Senior Brother Liu, isn't this a little too conservative?"

"There are ten of us foundation-building monks, and our senior brothers are profound and powerful. However, there is probably only one foundation-building monk named Duomu in Mangshanfang City. With such a huge gap in strength, we can completely attack and capture them directly. .”

"Besides, the thirty Qi-refining juniors in the team are all in the middle stage of Qi-refining at their lowest level. They are by no means comparable to the stragglers in the city."

Yan Kai didn't seem to take Mangshanfang City seriously and was a little eager for success, so he asked in confusion.

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately fell silent.

Some of the five foundation-building monks, including Meng Wenxing, felt that they were too cautious, but as monks from affiliated forces, they could not say it in public.

"Junior Brother Yan's words are wrong. For the safety of the team, before I know the actions of the monks from Baiyun Temple, I can't be too careful."

Cui Liang said immediately.

He still has a lot of life left to enjoy the beauty of the world, but he doesn't want to lose his life due to carelessness.

At the same time, he also felt that this fellow student was too reckless, so he made up his mind to keep a distance and not let it affect him.

"After all, the State of Yan does not need the State of Chu. We are new here, so it is better to fight slowly."

Jiang Qiushui also disagreed with Yan Kai's radical views.

As for Leng Yuexin, she just stood quietly without saying a word, looking towards Mang Mountain without knowing what to think.

"Yes, I should be careful when I first arrive."

"Okay, that's it."

"Junior Brother Yan, take someone to find some monks nearby and bring them back to ask about the recent situation in Mangshanfang City."

"Junior Brother Cui, please arrange for a few disciples to go into Fang City to inquire about information and see if there is anything unusual."

"It's best to bring a Fangshi guard back and torture him about Fangshi's specific arrangements."

"As for fellow Daoist Meng, please take turns to pay attention to the surrounding situation. Don't let us be discovered by the immortal cultivators who happen to pass by, so as not to alert Mangshanfang City and the Bai family of Fenghuang Mountain."

Regardless of the monks' different thoughts, Liu Yu made the final decision and quickly made corresponding arrangements.

In the world of immortality, the minority has never obeyed the majority. It is normal for the powerful to have more say and even dictatorship.

As the leader of the team, he holds great righteousness and is also the strongest person in the team. Everything can be settled with one word.

Negotiation is just a process, and the final result must be what he wants to see.

"Yes, Senior Brother Liu."

Yan Kai wanted to say something else, but seeing that Senior Brother Liu had already made a decision, he could only make arrangements honestly.

Liu Yu's prestige in his heart was very deep. Under normal circumstances, he did not have the courage to disobey.

Cui Liang also immediately accepted the order and arranged for a few disciples with suitable cultivation levels and maturity to change their clothes and prepare to go to Mangshanfang City to inquire about the situation.

Liu Yu naturally couldn't do everything by himself. Seeing that everyone followed the orders, he nodded slightly and felt satisfied.

In this way, he felt at ease for a while.

So he took out the futon and sat down, took out the Yi'an Dan Technique and looked through it, waiting for news from everyone.

Whether it is to inquire for information or capture a few local immortal cultivators and bring them back, it is a very simple matter.

If the two of them can't even handle this, then they're really useless, and Liu Yu needs to readjust his attitude towards this kind of teammate.

He has always been relatively rational and has no sympathy for waste.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Two hours later, Yan Kai and Cui Liang returned one after another with several disciples. The former captured several local monks, and the latter used various methods to tie up a city guard.

"Ah" "Uh-huh"

Screams rang out one after another, but they were restricted to a certain distance by magic, and only a few monks could hear them.

"Senior Brother Liu, apart from the recent tightening of martial law in Mangshanfang City, nothing else has happened."

"After some torture, they have already told me what they know."

Not long after, Cui Liang and Yan Kai reported to Liu Yu.

They were still impeccably dressed, and for things like interrogating monks, disciples who were proficient in this would naturally do it, and they only needed to report the results.

Due to the rush of time, it was natural to treat the captured monks to make them speak in the shortest possible time, so the method was a bit cruel.

Although most of them are innocent, their current and future actions are related to the success or failure of the team and their own lives. There must be no mistakes or leakage of information.

No Qingzhou monk thought there was anything wrong with doing this when his own life was at stake. Even if he couldn't bear it, he had no intention of stopping it.

Human nature is selfish, and truly selfless people have long been eliminated over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

In the end, several local monks and city guards were silenced, and their bodies were turned into fly ash, nourishing the land.

"Is the news sure to be reliable?"

Liu Yu confirmed repeatedly.

"Everything is arranged by me personally, and there will definitely be no mistakes. Please rest assured, senior brother!"

Yan Kai and Cui Liang clasped their fists heavily and replied immediately, feeling very confident in the news they had received personally.

"In this case, we will take action immediately. We will first surround Fangshi to recruit and surrender, and see if Duomu recognizes the situation."

"If he doesn't know what to do, he will forcefully break through the formation and be sure to capture Mangshanfang City in the shortest possible time."

Liu Yu looked serious and said immediately with a focused look.

In fact, there is a better way at the moment. It is completely possible for a few foundation-building monks to hide their cultivation, enter Mangshanfang City without anyone noticing, implement beheading tactics, and directly capture Duomu.

In this way, Mangshanfang City can be easily captured, which is much simpler than a frontal attack.

But this is the team's first battle, and the obvious strength gap between the two sides is so large that if some "despicable" methods are used, it will seem anticlimactic.

And Liu Yu also needs an upright victory to build the team's confidence.

…

Soon after he gave the order, the entire team was mobilized, no longer covering their tracks, and marched towards Mangshanfang City with great fanfare.

The distance of seven or eight miles is considered very close to the immortal cultivators, and can be crossed in a matter of seconds. Naturally, there is no need to use the Guiyuan Boat.

I saw streaks of escaping light rising into the sky in the dim night sky, flying towards the Lingshan Mountain within sight.

Among them, the ten rays of light at the front were the most eye-catching, and they were close to Mang Mountain in just a few breaths.
