Chapter 244 Pre-war preparations

After mobilizing the enthusiasm of the external aid, Taoist Lingyun discussed the plan of deploying troops with everyone.

According to the previous spies, the Lu family will forcefully attack Fuyun Temple this time, so the focus of defense should be on the mountain gate.

Fuyun Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and there is only one road to the mountain. As long as the mountain gate is guarded, there will be basically no problem. Even if things go wrong, everyone will retreat to the temple and use the two-meter-high wall for defense. It will not be easy for the opponent to break through.

After a brief discussion, everyone determined their respective responsibilities. Among the people who came with Chu Yang, more than ten people were masters of the Qi Refining Stage. These people will form the first line of defense with the Taoist disciples, and the rest will use the high walls for defense.

If the opponent's offensive is fierce and the vanguard cannot resist, everyone will retreat to the temple and then rely on the terrain to fight against the opponent.

As for the task of Chu Yang and Taoist Lingyun, it is to try to delay the opponent's foundation-building masters to prevent them from causing too much damage to those with low cultivation.

Generally speaking, this plan is not fancy. It is just soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Everyone performs their duties and tries their best.

After deciding on the plan, Zhu Lixin sighed, "Xiao Chu, the other side has three foundation-building masters. We only have you and Taoist Lingyun. I wonder if you can resist two foundation-building masters on the other side?"

Chu Yang thought that he had the Frost Sword in his hand and learned the exquisite swordsmanship of "Tai Yan Tian Xuan Sword". Even if he could not kill the two newly promoted opponents Lu Guangxiong and Zhao Tiancheng, he could at least delay them for a long time.

As long as those families who were instigated to take action, the Lu family would be in chaos under the attack from both sides. At that time, it would not be difficult for his side to win with the momentum of thunder.

However, before Chu Yang could speak, Taoist Ling Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "Everyone, this time the Lu family attacked our mountain gate for no reason, and I also asked for help. Just yesterday, one of my Taoist friends came to help and is now resting in the temple. We are evenly matched with the other side in terms of the number of masters!"

"That's great!"

Zhu Lixin slapped his thigh excitedly. He thought that his side was at a disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power, but he didn't expect that Taoist Ling Yun actually invited a master in the foundation-building period to help. This is a double insurance.

Chu Yang's pressure was also reduced a lot. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he simply said, "Taoist, since there are masters coming to help, why not take us to meet them while there is still time, so that we can get to know each other."

"That's what I mean."

Taoist Ling Yun nodded, stood up and led everyone to the guest house.

According to Taoist Lingyun, his fellow Taoist is from the north, and the Taoist tradition he taught is also very different from that of the southern school. The two sides have debated with each other for decades over doctrine, and neither can convince the other.

However, it is precisely because of this that the two have forged a deep friendship. A few days ago, he heard that a secular family dared to take the risk of attacking the mountain gate of his old friend, and immediately expressed his willingness to bring disciples to help.

However, Taoist Lingyun couldn't let go of his face. If he asked the disciples of the northern school to help his family, there would be rumors in the future that the southern school was weak and needed the help of the northern school to avoid overthrow. This was something Taoist Lingyun couldn't accept.

Therefore, Taoist Lingyun rejected his old friend's request verbally, but the old Taoist didn't care and simply came to Jiangnan alone, saying that he wanted to see the tough folk customs of Jiangnan. In fact, both sides understood that this was just an excuse he deliberately made to help.

In a quiet courtyard, everyone met Taoist Lingyun's fellow Taoist.

This Taoist priest had white hair and beard, and wore a simple Taoist robe. His eyes were bright and he seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts.

Chu Yang took a glance and found that the old Taoist priest had the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building, which was a rare existence in this world where spiritual energy was scarce.

When the two sides met, Taoist Lingyun pointed at the old Taoist priest and introduced him: "This is my old friend Taoist Xuancheng."

"Wulian Tianzun."

Taoist Xuancheng bowed to everyone, and then his eyes swept over everyone.

Taoist Lingyun introduced everyone one by one: "This is Chu Yang, the young friend Chu, this is Zhu Lixin, the head of the Zhu family, this is Hu Liangyu, the head of the Hu family, and this is..."

Everyone greeted Taoist Xuancheng one by one. Perhaps because of the immortal aura on the other side, Zhu Lixin and others were a little restrained, with indescribable curiosity and envy in their eyes.

Among these people, Chu Yang's performance was the most indifferent. After bowing to Taoist Xuancheng, he stood quietly by the side, as if this immortal-like figure had no attraction to him at all.

This action actually attracted the attention of Taoist Xuancheng.

Earlier, when Taoist Lingyun introduced everyone, Chu Yang was ranked first, followed by the elders such as Zhu Lixin.

Taoist Lingyun also knew etiquette, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake in the order. If that was the case, this young man named Chu Yang must have something unusual.

Taoist Xuancheng thought for a while and asked Taoist Lingyun: "Lingyun, you asked your disciples to pass on the message that you wanted to introduce a master to me. Could it be this young man named Chu?"

"Yes, although Chu is young, he is extraordinary in cultivation. He entered the foundation-building stage at a young age, much earlier than me."

Lingyunzi said with some emotion.

Taoist Priest Xuan Cheng took it seriously. He had only seen a cultivator who had successfully established a foundation at such a young age, and he was also a disciple from a hidden sect. Chu Yang had such ability at such a young age, so maybe he was also a disciple from a sect who went out to gain experience!

"Please forgive me, Chu Xiaoyou. I was careless before and didn't pay attention to your cultivation. Now I can see something."

Master Xuancheng bowed apologetically.

"I am a junior with little knowledge. It is normal that you didn't pay attention."

Although Chu Yang thought so, he didn't agree in his heart.

If you want to see the other party's cultivation, unless you have the skill of looking at the air, or your realm is much higher than the other party, it is possible to see through the other party's strength. Master Xuancheng deliberately said this, which is purely a self-flattering behavior!

However, Chu Yang only thought about these in his heart, and did not say them to his face to hit the old Taoist's self-esteem.

The focus today is not to make enemies for himself, but to unite all the forces that can be united and defeat the Lu family in one go. In this way, Jiangzhou may become his possession.

After meeting Master Xuancheng, it was already late.

Ling Yunzi personally directed his disciples to make the final preparations.

At this time, the Taoist temple was already brightly lit, and several high-brightness spotlights were set up around the square, illuminating every corner as bright as day.

Two 1200-watt high-power LED searchlights were also installed on the lamp posts on both sides of the stone steps of the mountain gate. All places leading to the foot of the mountain were covered with lights, leaving no place for any evil spirits to hide.

At this point, the battle preparations have been completed, and they are just waiting for the Lu family to bring people to attack, and then they will use the strategy of internal and external cooperation to catch the opponent in one fell swoop!
