Chapter 734: Chapter 731: Chain of Events_1
Yun Lu carefully considered for a moment and said subconsciously, “Young Master, you’re right. There’s no need to kill these spies outside the Yuanshan Sect. However, if you send demonic beasts to attack Beishan Main City, the Fire Essence Beasts are not stupid, they will not act rashly!”
“They’ll definitely confirm that your demonic beasts are indeed attacking Beishan Main City before they come to deal with the Yuanshan Sect. By then, they’ll fall into the trap as you said. However, your troops will also be sent out and not in the Yuanshan Sect, and relying solely on the formation to win may not be easy.”
Yang Chen smiled slightly, “Senior Yun Lu, you have thought it through quite thoroughly this time.”
“Yun Lu is just curious.” Yun Lu smiled amiably, “After all, dealing with Fire Essence Beasts must be cautious, Young Master, you cannot be careless.”
“I know what you’re saying. Relying solely on the Double Array is not enough to deal with the Fire Essence Beasts. I must have all my troops under my control, along with this Double Array. Only then can I be sure of victory!” Yang Chen said.
“But how can the troops that are sent out return in a short time? It takes at least three days for these demonic beasts to attack Beishan Main City, while it only takes one day for the Canghai Sect’s Fire Essence Beasts to get here. By then, the Yuanshan Sect would have been trampled to pieces by the Fire Essence Beasts!” Yun Lu said.
Yang Chen replied gently, “Senior Yun Lu, haven’t you forgotten that Beishan Main City is actually quite close to the entrance of Tiandu Divine Country?”
Yun Lu’s eyes widened in surprise, “Young Master, do you mean…”
“It only takes one day for the Canghai Sect’s Fire Essence Beasts to arrive, and it takes only one hour for me to recall the troops I will send out. This one hour will be the time to determine victory or defeat.” Yang Chen’s expression grew heavier.
This move of his was actually a risky one.
First, he would send out his demonic beast troops, deliberately using these spies to reveal a false empty state inside the sect to make the Fire Essence Beasts think that he had no combat power to speak of, and consequently attack. Then, within an hour, he would recall all his troops.
The Fire Essence Beasts were very cunning.
The Fire Spirit Beast Commander named Yun Ge was even more cunning.
They had suffered losses before, so the Fire Essence Beasts could quickly communicate with each other and were on high alert. It was too difficult for him to succeed. Nowadays, the only way was to take a risky move.
“Time is ticking, and I, Yang Chen, can’t afford to wait. Regardless, I have to take a gamble. These Fire Essence Beasts are not ordinary opponents. How can I succeed without taking risks?” Yang Chen clenched his fists.
On the third day of the plan being finalized.
The several Fire Essence Beast spies guarding the outside of Yuanshan Sect were watching intently, afraid of missing anything.
“Brothers, stay alert!”
“Keep a close eye on the Yuanshan Sect, and there will be rewards from the Commander when we get back!”
“Alright!”
These Fire Essence Beasts were talking cautiously.
Suddenly…
“Brothers, take a look!”
They saw nearly a hundred demonic beasts flying in the sky at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they vanished, not knowing where they were headed.
This made the Fire Essence Beast spies widen their eyes in shock, “What’s going on!”
“These demonic beasts are all under Yang Chen’s control. What is he planning to do by sending them all out now?”
“They seem to be heading towards Beishan Main City!”
“That’s right, definitely towards Beishan Main City. What does this Yang Chen want to do? Is he planning to save Beishan Main City and rescue the high-level True Martial Realm people there to increase his troops?”
“If that’s the case, we must quickly send the news back.”
“Hurry up and send the message!”
The several Fire Essence Beasts discussed and quickly relayed the news back.
At the same time, inside the Canghai Sect, the Fire Essence Beast Commander Yun Ge was sitting in a wooden house in the depths of the Sect, contemplating quietly.
At that moment, three Fire Essence Beasts jumped out and broke into the room, saying respectfully, “Commander, there’s a situation!”
As Yun Ge was thinking about strategies to deal with Yang Chen, he now opened his eyes in surprise and asked, “What’s going on? Tell me in detail!”
The three Fire Essence Beasts hurriedly told him about Yang Chen sending out nearly a hundred demonic beasts.
“Haha, what does this Yang Chen want to do? He clearly wants to send demonic beasts to rescue Beishan Main City and then use Beishan Main City’s troops to join forces with the Yuanshan Sect to resist us. But he’s underestimating us, he obviously doesn’t know that we have spies near the Yuanshan Sect. Haha!”
“Commander Yun Ge, please give instructions!”
Yun Ge narrowed his eyes, “Yang Chen is sending troops to rescue Beishan Main City? I can’t be sure about this yet. This Yang Chen is as cunning as a fox, and many races have suffered at his hands. We can’t be easily fooled. Unless there are indeed many demonic beasts fighting and besieging Beishan Main City, don’t act rashly!”
“But… ”
These Fire Essence Beasts looked at each other, and said bitterly, “Commander, this is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity!”
“That’s right, Commander. With so many troops sent out, if we were to send our troops into the Yuanshan Sect now, this Surnamed Yang will be waiting for us to be slaughtered!”
Yun Ge snorted coldly, “This Yang Chen is full of cunning schemes, and if there’s no fighting in Beishan Main City, it’s very likely that this is a trap deliberately set by this kid. We can’t rush things. We have to be patient when dealing with this guy. Buying time works in our favor, so let’s wait!”
Although the other Fire Essence Beasts were anxious, since Yun Ge had said so, they dared not say anything more and waited for the results.
Three days later.
The Fire Essence Beasts under Yun Ge’s command hurriedly broke into Yun Ge’s room once more, exclaiming, “Commander, the results are out! The battle has begun in the sky above Beishan Main City! Hahaha! The Fire Essence Beasts we’ve planted in Beishan Main City have reported that a large number of demonic beasts are attacking Beishan Main City!”
“It’s actually true.” Yun Ge looked incredulous.
“Commander, we can’t wait any longer. Our troops in Beishan Main City won’t be able to hold off those demonic beasts for long. We must act now, seize the opportunity when the Yuanshan Sect is empty, and annihilate them and kill that Surnamed Yang!”
“Yes, Commander, we can’t wait any longer. Time is running out!”
His subordinates knew what to do, and of course, Yun Ge knew as well.
However, he always felt something was off. “Something is wrong. I always feel that something is wrong. No matter if it’s the memories passed down from our ancestors or my own understanding, this Surnamed Yang has always been treacherous and cunning. How could he have easily exposed such a major flaw?”
