Chapter 527: Single 6
Zhao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Li Wushuang and Yan Hong and said slowly, "Let's put aside the division between the White Tiger and Black Tortoise deployments for now."
"Regardless of whether they are Jade Capital cultivators or clan disciples, in this battle, all of them will coordinate to attack the city and leave no room for maneuver."
"Junior Sister Pu will help us seize the city from the secret realm and attack the enemy. Fairy Ye Xi will lead people to fly across from the Dongren Territory to break through the city and harass the enemy together."
"Try to eliminate Sha Qiujing in the melee, the sooner the better."
"There's no time to lose, let's get going!"
Li Wushuang: ???
What? Let's get going?
This hasn't clarified the situation yet...
Not only him, but Yan Hong, Shen Mo, Yao Siyu and others also looked hesitant and puzzled.
"Didn't Senior Brother say there was a hidden threat? We're being so reckless...will something unexpected happen?"
Zhao Qing and Shuyue exchanged a glance, then looked back at the crowd and chuckled, "Perhaps, but this city must be taken."
Originally, according to my aunt's plan... she would just stay in the secret realm and keep an eye on Sha Qiujing, waiting for any chaos over there, and then seize the opportunity to eliminate it at the lowest cost.
This is obviously the best strategy of waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.
But now the situation in Tianxiang City has changed suddenly, and everyone is forced to join forces... To eliminate Sha Qiujing, they can no longer wait for an opportunity.
After all, her city is the last entrance to the Sand Gold Secret Realm, and she is now urgently looking for someone to conspire with to protect herself. Once she is allowed to gain power, not to mention the chaos in the city... she will probably be in big trouble just from the powerful enemies outside her own secret realm.
My aunt also nodded seriously, stood up and paced around, explaining slowly, "The Jian family holds a lot of information and is qualified to assess the situation and wait."
"But not only do we not know the situation of the alliance between the various parties, we even know very little about where the various secret realms in Tianxiang City lead to..."
"To continue to remain imprisoned is undoubtedly to wait for death. We must take the initiative to reverse our situation."
Zhao Qing nodded silently after hearing this and cast a questioning look at Ye Xi.
Even though there are many doubts and the future is unclear, he and Xiaoyi have the same idea.
Before, everyone in Tianxiang City was fighting for themselves, so they could rest assured while staying in the secret realm.
But now it is an inevitable trend for all parties to join forces, but they don’t even have complete information and continue to guard the secret realm... Aren’t they just waiting to be beaten?
Ye Xi pondered for a long time and nodded in affirmation: "Yes, the Sand Gold Secret Realm is already an extremely advantageous location for us. We only need to gamble this time and reclaim the last pass."
Seeing that Zhao Qing and Ye Xi had both made the same decision, Pu Xiu stopped thinking about it. She just had to follow suit and contribute...
Xiang Qin frowned slightly and warned again: "It is urgent to take the last entrance."
"But even if you knew there would be a hidden threat, you still took the initiative to join the game...isn't that too unwise?"
Ye Xi glanced at Zhao Qing with her eyes fixed slightly, then smiled back at Xiang Qin: "Xiang Xuezi, you are joking."
"Everyone is gambling now. Xia Yuchan is betting that her plan will work, the Jian family is betting that they can hold on and not fall into decline, and Ye Xi is also betting that he won't be attacked and killed by you..."
"Those who stand alone bet on themselves, those who join forces bet on their allies."
"What we are betting on right now is nothing more than a yellow bird. More than 4,000 cultivators can instantly wipe out a city. As long as we can kill the general as quickly as possible, we can minimize our own danger."
Xiang Qin was silent for several breaths, gazing deeply at the charming girl before him, and muttered to himself, "You know where the yellow bird is... I only need to kill you in the chaos, and I can drive away the more than 2,000 people who are helping you. It won't be too difficult."
Zhao Qing was listening and thinking quietly. At this moment, a light bulb went off in his mind and his eyes were instantly filled with smiles.
He smiled and shook his head and said lightly: "That's right."
"We are going to eliminate Sha Qiujing. What we want is to kill her in the chaos of the battle. Then her helpers will be driven away and the city will fall without a fight."
Shuyue had a strange expression on her face at the moment, as if she had thought of something. She couldn't help but shift her gaze away from her husband and looked at Ning'er together with her aunt Qinghuan.
His wife laughed softly and reminded him, "If there's a yellow bird watching, it must be asking for the same thing: to wipe out Ning'er, Ye Xi, and Pu Xiu from the chaos."
"It's natural, it's the same everywhere in the city."
Xiang Qin had no objection to this.
After all, finding an opportunity to kill Fairy Tianxiang is the easiest and most direct way. Could it be that someone is willing to kill them all at the cost of losses?
The aunt glanced at the many thoughtful eyes, a faint light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her smile became even brighter: "Then let's not gamble. After all... not gambling is winning."
Not gambling again?
Li Wushuang, who had just been convinced, was now confused again.
But Luo Xianning beside him understood what Zhao Qing and Shu Yue meant, and couldn't help but look slightly excited.
Ye Xi looked sideways in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Why not gamble?"
Gee tut.
Zhao Qing just felt happy at the moment, thinking to himself, has this touched upon your blind spot in knowledge?
He explained with a smile: "Right now, what we are worried about is the Yellow Bird and our disadvantage compared to the Ancient Clan. This is undoubtedly the control of information, right?"
Yan Hong nodded, thought for a moment, and replied, "That's right. With all the forces intertwined, it's inevitable that there will be some spies among them."
"If we can find these people..."
His eyes fixed, and he said excitedly, "Let's start investigating one by one. The two junior sisters Ye Xi and Pu Xiu should do the same. First, try to eliminate the spies among us, and then..."
But what can?
Qing Huan, who was watching from the side, felt somewhat helpless and gently reminded them, "But our recent movements have already been revealed."
"And how easy is it to catch a spy? Not only will an investigation cause many fellow Taoists unnecessary annoyance, but there's also no way to question their true intentions. According to the city's rules, spies are only sent word, not attacked."
"Just like Senior Brother Wushuang's fellow Daoist Jizhou, he made such a fuss about himself just for this. Qinghuan... feels that this is inappropriate."
Yan Hong: ...
"So what do we do?!"
There was a smile in Zhao Qing's eyes, and Si He also walked closer to Ning Mei. The two leaned against each other and smiled at the many puzzled looks.
My aunt raised her beautiful eyes slightly, glared at the three of them unhappily, then looked at everyone and chuckled, "The gambling game in Tianxiang City is settled. There are many losers and few winners. The banker takes it all."
"We don't have the combined power of those ancient clans, nor do we have the eyes and ears of various forces. Naturally, we are not qualified to sit on the sidelines and watch. We can only become gamblers..."
"but--"
But what?
Ye Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Hong Ning and Si He.
Luo Xianning was very familiar with Zhao Qing's family. There was joy in her eyes, and she was obviously not surprised at all.
As for Yao Siyu, Li Wushuang and others, they were still looking at Zhou Xiaoyi in confusion.
The woman in red curved her beautiful eyes and smiled with a beautiful smile, which was more beautiful than any other fairies in the city.
she says……
"But gamblers don't have to bet."
Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated and looked at each other in confusion, as if they had understood the truth, but in fact they still didn't understand it at all.
Gamblers...can’t be the banker, but can choose not to bet?
What do you mean?
But soon, someone gave the answer.
Chu Hongning's eyes sparkled as she paced leisurely and said, "Finally, I have a chance to go out..."
She tilted her neck slightly and leaned closer to Zhao Qing, laughing: "I thought my husband really had locked me up in a secret place in Tianxiang City~"
"Of course not."
Zhao Qing stroked Ning Mei's hair and turned to look at Ye Xi: "Fairy Ye, would you like to go shopping in Tianxiang City with Ning'er and Si He?"
Amidst the many doubtful looks, the charming young woman suddenly understood and exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent! This time I'm really enjoying myself."
Pu Xiu was silent for a moment, the doubt in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he said softly, "Leave my people to Xiaoyi. I will also travel with the three of you."
Shen Su's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
With a smile, she explained briefly to Miao Jian through voice transmission, then stood up and strolled leisurely. She invisibly tossed the Hanguang Sword to Shuyue and said leisurely, "I'll just stay with you in the secret realm. I'll also go outside to see what the scenery is like."
Seeing that Shen Su had also made such a decision, Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel relieved.
He handed the control of the flying boat to Ning Mei, chuckled and nodded, saying, "The five fairies can steer this boat as they please. I don't think anyone can stop you."
It was not until this moment that Li Wushuang, Yan Hong and the others suddenly understood something.
So... this is what it means to not bet.
But, is this really feasible?
……
Zhao Qing and Shu Yue's ideas are extremely clear.
Since there is a yellow bird... just throw Ningmei out.
The three fairies are gone, how can the yellow bird take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill?
Do we have to force ourselves to defeat these more than 4,000 monks at the cost of a heavy price?
Let alone four thousand, even with Ye Xi's thousand-plus holy land cultivators, Xia Yuchan would be stunned for a moment if she swept over. This involves the most fundamental issue of loss and cost.
Therefore, the strategy Zhao Qing proposed was... everyone plays their own game.
Si He and Shen Su drove the flying boat alone and took Ning Mei out for fun in a grand manner.
They just attacked Sha Qiujing head-on without showing any panic.
If anyone wants to wipe them out... they can only rely on the more than 4,000 monks here.
Obviously, no one is interested in the cost involved, and it also avoids attracting troublemakers to disrupt the battle.
As for the other way...
Right now, the situation is chaotic and everyone is struggling to take care of themselves, and there are many abandoned cities.
If in this situation, Si He and Shen Su were flying a flying boat and still couldn't save Ning Mei.
Then there’s no need to play in Tianxiang City anymore, so let’s just say goodbye.
Even though Si He was by my side, they could still protect Ning Mei alone when they went to fight Sha Qiu Jing together...
But now, not only can he protect Ye Xi and Pu Xiu at the same time, the most important thing is to dispel the thoughts of those who are watching, and avoid a lot of variables and chaos.
The more Zhao Qing thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. Even after Ning Mei left, the spies and informants on his side would be of no use.
There are clearly 4,000 people with us. If someone wants to come and fight, the worst that can happen is that they will just fight each other passionately. Who is afraid of who?
Damn it, just abandon the general and attack!
What do you think of just taking a picture of Lemon Girl?
Ye Xi's eyes were filled with curiosity and amusement, and he said excitedly, "Wait until I return to Dongren Territory to make some arrangements. Then I will send Junior Sister Mu to your side to discuss matters. She is my Junior Sister Yuelian whom I met at the Star-Glancing Terrace..."
……
·
A full hour later.
To the west of Tianxiang City, in the Western Jia area.
The city area that was originally abandoned by my aunt Hong Ning is now home to more than 6,000 monks. Inside and outside each palace, monks can be seen everywhere talking and laughing.
And in a quiet and secluded pavilion somewhere.
There was a woman in plain clothes, with her long hair tied lightly on the side of her shoulders, and her flawless face was softly angular, framed by her eyebrows and eyes.
But those calm and silent peach-like eyes revealed a bit of loneliness and coldness like those in the frost and snow.
This is the Bamboo Vein Saint who has caused endless waves in the city - Xia Yuchan.
And in this quiet little pavilion shrouded in a formation, there was another man standing with his hands behind his back. His face seemed particularly blurry as if obscured by something... This was just a phantom of spiritual consciousness.
However, this posture of standing with hands behind the back is known to everyone in the four sacred places of Zhongzhou.
Walking away from the smoke, water and moon.
The man's figure became increasingly illusory. Even though his features could not be seen clearly, his extraordinary aura could not be concealed. He chuckled and spoke slowly, "I still can't find any trace of Nangong."
"There hasn't been much movement from Jian Qiong's side, but should we continue to push forward? Or should we wait a little longer?"
Xia Yuchan was silent for a moment, looking at the remaining murals in the pavilion, and whispered to herself, "Lan Xin hasn't made any moves yet. Leaving the White Jade Palace in the city is always a hidden danger. You guys should keep an eye on Lan Xin first."
"The real Zhuo Yu in Xicheng has already appeared. We can lock her up and kill her in the Qianling Secret Realm at any time."
Her eyes were dim, as if she was lost in thought. "Let's wait quietly for two days. Once the city calms down a bit, we can stir up trouble again."
"Two days?"
"Two days is too long."
A man's hearty laughter could be heard, but it was not Shuiyue's voice!
Xia Yuchan wasn't surprised and asked carefully, "Senior Brother Jiang, I wonder what the situation is like over there... in the east of the city?"
……
To the east of Tianxiang City is the city of Donggui.
Although the combined forces amounted to more than 5,000 people, it was the result of the joint efforts of Fang and Li Yan Fenghuang.
And in the city, there is a strange secret place where a pool of water is covered by a mysterious array pattern that reaches from heaven to earth.
There were dim lights and shadows on the pool of water, and what they showed and reflected... were the figures of Xia Yuchan and Shuiyue!
If Zhao Qing were here, he would definitely be able to recognize what this is.
In the desolate old land outside Yujing, without the protection of the emerald stars, only clumsy directional communication arrays could be used.
However, this kind of communication array is currently an excellent way to avoid the Nangong family's attention.
At this moment, there were also six people standing by the pool.
Fang Zun, the young master of the Fang family, is descended from the two fairies Tianxiang of the Fang family, as well as Jiang Yanli, the Phoenix walker, Jiang Yu, the Phoenix witch, and Xu Qianqing, who was raised by the Phoenix.
"Huangfu Tang has already taken action to eliminate two city areas..."
"Saint Lady Han guarded the secret realm by herself and did not join forces with anyone."
"But the Ye family seems to have had an accident, and I'm afraid they will be the first to leave."
Fang Zun chuckled softly and sighed, then continued, "Also, there's news from our spies that the blood-stained immortal boat has left the Shajin Secret Realm. It's said that four immortals are traveling together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a faint ripple arose in the pool.
Xia Yuchan frowned and said, "Ye Xi, Hong Ning, Si He..."
The spiritual shadow beside him smiled and replied, "We still have Junior Sister Pu from Thunder Emperor State, so there's nothing to worry about."
"What's the meaning of this? Are you deliberately creating confusion?"
Listening to the laughter in the pool, Xu Qianqing's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She glanced thoughtfully at Senior Brother Jiang beside her, and then whispered, "I don't know."
"But now we've lost contact with these four... They've been separated from all their support, and our eyes and ears are useless."
Right now.
Fang Zun frowned, turned around and stepped into another strange communication formation.
The water and words here also fell into a brief silence in tacit understanding.
But after only a few dozen breaths, the Fang family's young master quickly returned and said in a deep and solemn voice, "The Dongren Territory has moved."
"Ye Xi's men flew across the abandoned city and rushed to Sha Qiujing's side."
"Many cultivators from the Nanjia Region of the Nanding Region have entered the Sand Gold Secret Realm..."
The shadowy figure in the pool strolled leisurely: "They are going to kill the Sand Fairy."
"This must have been a deliberate attempt to confuse the enemy. The four junior sisters are seeking their own death by rashly going alone. They must still be in the secret realm."
"There should be more than 2,000 Yujing monks over there. Will they take action?"
Xia Yuchan was silent for a moment, and also whispered to herself: "Take action?"
“We must move!”
Jiang Yanli's tiger eyes flashed with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhao may have joined forces with Wuwang and Nangong. At the moment, Zhuo Yu is not a concern, but since we can't find Nangong, Junior Brother Zhao and Wuwang must be eliminated."
Even though Jiang Yanli and Zhao Qing have a good personal relationship, everyone walking in Tianxiang City will not hesitate to become an enemy.
The Tianxiang Fairy City in Zhongzhou is like the peerless Tianxiang woman. It can turn friends into enemies and confront each other, but it can also turn enemies into friends and defend the same place.
Such strange and absurd things are the real charm of Tianxiang City. There is only one such city in Yujing and no other place in the world.
There was another silence, and the formation reflected in the pool was faintly distorted.
"Who's going to do it?"
"Let's go this way. For now, just press West City and we'll go there."
"But if Red Lemon Ye Xi is really not here..."
"It must be impossible!"
"Brother Jiang, I'm leaving from West City and will meet you in the Southern Ding Territory. Let's go and see the secret realm of this Junior Brother Zhao. I'll bring three hundred Liyans with me to calm the spirits."
"Young Master Fang, all the fellow Daoists gathered by the Fang Clan, please rush to Saint Lady Sha's side as soon as possible."
"I will send a message to her now... Let's join forces with her."
"Nangong is missing, and the Blood-robed Bodhi must be eradicated..."
