Chapter 136 Clang!
In the dead of the night, in Anshui City’s Sea God Temple.
Brother Changshou? The gilded jade statue beside him let out wisps of spiritual will.
After a while, the main statue responded. Two wisps of spiritual will entered the realm of the dream. Ao Yi saw the figure standing under the statue.
Ao Yi quickly walked forward. His eyes flickered, and he looked energetic.
“Brother Changshou! My father has already begun to deploy troops! The Western…
Those people have been spying on the dragon race for a long time! I will definitely let them know that the dragon race is not to be trifled with!”
After hearing that, Li Changshou did not feel any emotions. This was within his expectations.
The dragon race had yet to lose their sense of pride. It was unlikely that they would retreat without fighting
However, they had to plan carefully in the future.
I can’t hurt the Western Sect too much, lest I hit the younger ones and end up luring the older ones out. I can’t kill too many mortals and increase my negative karma.
Li Changshou said, “Don’t be happy. This time, we are not dealing with ordinary enemies. Besides, if a war breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties. This is not something to be happy about.”
“Yes, Brother Changshou, you’re right.” Ao Yi immediately stopped smiling. He cupped his hands and bowed with an ashamed expression.
After that, Ao Yi explained what he had done for the past two days.
He rushed back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to meet his father and described the matter according to Li Changshou’s instructions.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean pondered for a while and gathered all the elders of the Dragon race to discuss.
Other than one or two old turtle immortals who felt that they could not fight head-on with the Western Sect, the other elders were filled with righteous indignation and requested to start a battle. Ao Yi said firmly, “This time, Father has decided to send thirty thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops. Our dragon race has more than six hundred experts, and twenty experts of the Golden Immortal realm! If the battle is urgent, the elders of the dragon race will be ready to fight at any time!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. He felt a little guilty… This brother from the dragon race is too honest.
There are twenty Golden Immortals, six hundred dragon race experts, and thirty thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops!
Without considering the other factors, they would be enough to kill a huge immortal grandmaster!
Once they take action, their power would be formidable.
Since the dragon race could survive since the ancient times, they must really have their own unique traits… Li Changshou could not help but feel a little guilty. The dragon race was making such a big fuss. The other party had only sent over a dozen Perfected Immortal realm demons…
That would be awkward.
Ao Yi said, “Brother Changshou, do you have any more instructions for me? I’m going to meet a few uncles and rush to the South Ocean.”
“Brother Yi, your cultivation level is still low. You should not participate in the battle…”
“I’m the Great Guardian of the Sea God Sect. How can I be absent from this battle?”
Ao Yi’s gaze was firm. “I took so much merit for no reason. I naturally can’t let my clansmen shed blood for me! Father has already ordered me to be the general. I will definitely attack the strong enemy this time! Brother Changshou, you don’t have to worry about this battle. You don’t have to rush over.”
“How can I not be worried? Since that’s the case, take care of yourself and don’t fight hard.”
Li Changshou said, “Over the past few days, I’ve already made a plan to retreat from the enemy. I’ve placed it behind our statues in Anshui City. It’s a blue package. You can first get an expert who is a little faster to secretly take it away. There are also letters for you in there.
I’ll talk big about something.
As long as you can think of these schemes and the Dragon race can advance or retreat appropriately when facing an expert that is not extraordinary, there will definitely not be too many casualties.”
Ao Yi blinked and suddenly thought of something. He said in a low voice, “This is a plan to retreat from the enemy, but the superiors…”
Li Changshou smiled mysteriously and did not say anything.
He waved his hand and dissipated the dream.
On Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou calmed himself down and began to take his next step.
At the same time, in the East Ocean Dragon Palace… Ao Yi followed his instructions and invited an expert from the dragon race who could fly fast. He immediately rushed to Anshui City and secretly took away the retreat technique.
When the Golden Immortals flew back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace on a cloud, the thirty thousand troops in the Dragon Palace were already prepared in the sea.
The Second Prince, Ao Yi, hung up the flag and changed into a jade battle armor. There were a few experts with profound auras protecting him.
The expert transmitted via voice transmission from afar, “Your Highness, it’s here!”
Ao Yi’s eyes lit up as he paced back and forth at the bottom of the sea. He immediately went forward and said, “Thank you for going to the trouble, Uncle!”
The dragon expert transformed into a human and floated over. He tugged and pulled something out from his sleeve…
It was a two-foot-long, square wooden box.
The wooden box was indeed wrapped in blue cloth.
Ao Yi and the other experts of the dragon race were stunned. Ao Yi hurriedly wrapped his immortal powers around the wooden chest to prevent it from being crushed by the pressure of the seawater.
After opening the wooden box, he saw a few neatly arranged bamboo slips. There was a jade talisman above the bamboo slips.
He picked up the jade token and probed it with his immortal senses. Soon, he saw a few simple sentences.
“I can’t explain the reason in detail.
The next steps are written here. There are a total of twenty-six steps. The first step is “March”. You must read it before setting off. After reading it, you will know what the second step is.
Ao Yi put away the jade talisman and looked down. Soon, he picked up another bamboo slip.
He slowly unrolled the bamboo slip. The words on it were clear, and the words engraved on it seemed to have some kind of magical power. Ao Yi soon fell into a trance…
Soon, Ao Yi finished reading the first chapter.
After some deliberation, Ao Yi decided to follow the plan. He immediately took out the ‘Nine Dragons Proud Sky Seal’ that his father had given him and said loudly, “Uncles, fellow clansmen, split up and advance immediately! Ten percent of the troops will be traveling on the surface of the sea and entering the South Ocean through the water path. However, they have to conceal their auras and not raise any flags. They cannot be exposed! The other armies will hide in the shadows and circle towards the north. After passing through the earth meridians, head to the East Continent and transfer to the South Continent. Avoid the Immortal Sect’s detection and head to the southwest of the South Continent!”
A dragon expert frowned. “Your Highness, why did you split the troops up?”
When Ao Yi heard that, he immediately recalled the words on the bamboo slip that he had just read, “If anyone asks for the reason for splitting up, tell them to think about the enemies that you are dealing with this time.” Ao Yi said calmly, “Uncle, think about the enemies we have to deal with this time.”
The expert of the dragon race frowned and did not say anything else.
Another old dragon said, “The dragon race has been roaming above the nine heavens gloriously. Since when did the dragon race have to do anything like hiding and moving about in the soil?”
ace
Ao Yi was slightly surprised. Could the expert behind Brother Changshou see through the future?
This question was also recorded in the bamboo slip.
Ao Yi remained composed and said, “The earth is formed from the body of God Pangu. The clouds are only the breathing of the Great God Pangu. Why can’t we use the earth’s meridians?”
The old dragon muttered to himself and bowed, not daring to say anything else. The experts of the Dragon race no longer had any objections. They also put away their contempt for Ao Yi.
At that moment, the Dragon race’s troops split up and headed towards the southwest of the Southern Continent. One group headed south, one headed north; one was in the open while the other was in the dark.
Ao Yi reminded again, “Elders of the clan, please help the dragon race conceal the plan.” “Your Highness, don’t worry.” A white-haired old dragon-headed man smiled and said, “I’m already doing it.”
Ao Yi nodded and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again. Soon, he linked the bamboo slips below him.
A dragon carriage drove over. Ao Yi and a few experts from the dragon race sat in it. They also took the sea route to attract the attention of the enemy.
On the way to the South Ocean, Ao Yi began to flip through the twenty-six bamboo slips.
After ‘March’, it was ‘The General Theory’, followed by the ‘Choice Of Battle Location’ (lower-middle), and ‘Baiting the Enemy’.
After ‘Baiting the Enemy’, the strategy was divided into three branches. They would have to choose the corresponding plan according to the other party’s reaction. After that, there were also various parts.
Not long after, Ao Yi held the bamboo slip in his hands and was actually mesmerized by it.
As expected of an expert from Ren School, these schemes are well-thought-out. They are simply too powerful! Very quickly, Ao Yi followed the instructions on the bamboo slip and smiled as he took out the entire set of ‘Ambush’2. He wanted everyone to understand that tactic first… “Uncles, come and take a look at this ambush method. It’s rare!”
The few Dragon race experts smiled and nodded. They did not pay much attention to it. They held the three bamboo slips in their hands and studied them. Soon, their faces turned solemn.
“Split up and scatter without dissipating…” “The ambush on the surface is to lure the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to judge the situation. The low-level ambush is to harm the enemy. There are also the mid-level, higher-level ambushes, as well as the backup troops… It’s really impressive.”
“Is this the method that humans used to defeat the Magi?”
However…
Although they felt that the ambush method was not bad, they did not recommend Ao Yi to use such treacherous schemes.
However, Ao Yi said, “How can two armies fight each other? Compared to useless and dispensable pride, I care more about the lives of my people!”
The experts of the dragon race of the Dragon King generation nodded and followed his orders.
The rules of the Dragon race were very strict. In that battle, Ao Yi took charge and had complete control over the decisions made.
Hence, a few days later…
The three thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops and dozens of experts from the Dragon Palace had secretly arrived in the South Ocean and hid in the sea area near Anshui City.
Naturally, they could not hide their whereabouts from the “enemies” who had been staring at the water path.
The troops of the Dragon Palace were already being watched by a few black mosquitoes.
A few days later, in the depths of the earth, batches of immortal flood dragon soldiers gathered. They hid underground and did not appear. Even if the experts of the dragon race were careful and no matter how brilliant their concealment techniques were… the traces of the Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers were still being monitored.
However, the person monitoring them was a Sea God who had already arranged everything in a short period of time.
How many people could think of that… Would the dragon race, who had always been a little conceited, be so careful and cautious when nothing happened?
Li Changshou saw nearly thirty thousand soldiers of the dragon race beginning to “spiral” forward. They set up a shallow six-layer trap below the barren mountains that they had chosen! The experts worked together to conceal their tracks…
Finally, a fifth of the weight on Li Changshou’s heart was lifted.
Li Changshou had not been idle those few days.
He arranged for the reliable Divine Envoys and paper effigies to be sent to the temples that were most likely to have conflicts breaking out amongst the believers. He also asked the Divine Envoys to appease the believers in advance.
There was a high chance that the other party would start taking action from the conflict between the mortal disciples…
As expected, the ambush area of the dragon troops had just been set up for less than six days. The sects that were next to the South Ocean Sea God Sect gathered a large number of believers and began to rush towards the large cities of the Sea God Sect…
It was really a cross-city armed melee fight.
The factions in the mortal nations had also sent troops to monitor them, but they did not dare to offend the devotees.
Those devotees naturally wanted to thrash the Sea God Temple.
In fact, most of them were poor people. Most of them were involved in that matter because of some wealth…
Li Changshou did not want to be embroiled with any negative karma, so he would not be ruthless to them.
He had also repeatedly mentioned to the dragon race that they could not harm mortals. A few days later, thousands of disciples from the other sects found a temple outside the city…
It was noon and the sky was dark.
In front of the Sea God Temple, a burly young man raised a long rod and shouted,
“The Sea God of the South Ocean is an evil god that can bewitch people!
Destroy this place and let more people believe in our Lima God!
Smash!”
At that moment, thousands of mortals rushed forward in an awe-inspiring manner!
They raised their hoes, wooden sticks, and firewood, and shouted slogans as they rushed towards the tightly shut Sea God Temple…
However, the gate of the Sea God Temple suddenly opened when the thousands of people were less than 100 feet away! Two burly men clad in armor jumped out and roared in unison.
“Hold on!”
The dark crowd was instantly frightened by the two fiendish guards of the gate. They did not know what was going on, but they quickly stopped.
A few black shadows that were hiding among the mortals and were about to attack secretly frowned and observed for the time being.
The burly man on the left asked the crowd, “Are you… here to smash our Sea God Temple?”
The young man who was leading them earlier bit the bullet and shouted, “That’s right! You fake gods, evil gods!”
“Please!”
The two burly men shouted in unison. At the same time, they turned their bodies to gesture for them to enter.
One of them took out a small drum and patted it gently.
The other burly man shouted at the top of his lungs. He followed the rhythm and started yelling, “Everyone here is from our hometown. Listen to me! We’ll smash the statues in the temple. Don’t harm any people ruthlessly! The door is only 20 feet wide. Don’t fight to squeeze through! Before smashing the door, break the wall, destroy the courtyard, and smash the statue! Don’t panic, everyone! One by one! The statues are not worth much, but people can die while being trapped! The two of us will leave immediately. Everyone, take a break after smashing it. There’s still another round next!”
Then, the two men cupped their hands and stopped the drumming. “Alright!”
“Another one!” “What are you doing here! Are you here to listen to music or what!?!” Amidst the noise, the two men hurriedly retreated into the temple. Under everyone’s gaze, they ran to the back of the temple…
They climbed over the wall and fled…
The group of mortals was instantly confused. Someone took the lead and rushed in. A group of devotees from the other factions immediately broke the wall and rushed towards the Sea God Temple.
Under the ground, the paper effigy, whom Li Changshou had put his attention on, smiled.
It was fine as long as they did not add negative karma. The destruction of the temple would only result in some loss in the wealth of the Sea God Sect.
…
At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing, who was secretly observing the scene through the Blood Mosquito puppets in a Cave Abode at the border of the Aparagodānīya Continent was a little lost…
What does that mean?
However, very quickly, the Blood Mosquito puppets that Daoist Wen Jing secretly set up discovered dozens of wisps of dragon aura rushing towards the Sea God temple that had been wrecked.
As for the dragon army in the South Ocean, they had already begun to float out of the sea to assemble.
“Hmph.” Daoist Wen Jing pursed her lips and continued watching the show. She was waiting for the best time to release her children…
