Chapter 1780: Each Insisting on Their Own View

Elder Liu turned and pointed to the Haoyuan Golden Mirror: "The Banqiu Lighthouse is growing too fast, far exceeding expectations! If this continues, in less than an hour, the Banqiu Lighthouse barrier will connect with the second lighthouse barrier! The Tiangong team will be able to travel unimpeded under the cover of the lighthouse barrier and come toward Shilong Peak!" The Banqiu Lighthouse was already twelve zhang high, exceeding the lakeside lighthouse. Bai Bai Ziqi seemed determined to pump it up.

If they didn't find a way to curb it, the Tiangong team would soon enter Shilong Mountain.

Elder Xu urged anxiously: "Only if we all go together can we help each other! Don't listen to that brat surnamed He's nonsense; what ability does Miaozhantian have to wipe us out in one pot?"

Xiao Wencheng exhaled a dry breath and told them about the change at the Immortal Light Cave.

The elders' expressions changed drastically. Elder Xu said hatefully: "Slapped to death with one palm? That traitor truly got off lightly!"

Elder Liu said: "Looking at it this way, the Profound Crystals stolen from the Immortal Light Cave were used on the Banqiu Lighthouse. Not good. The Tiangong holds over sixty thousand jin of high-grade Profound Crystals, with no worries behind them. After the Banqiu Lighthouse, they will likely build new lighthouses at the foot of Shilong Mountain! By then..."

By then, the Tiangong army could directly attack Shilong Mountain and invade the Illusion Sect's station! "The Tiangong is frantically pouring resources into the Banqiu Lighthouse; this thing is becoming harder and harder to fight." Elder Xu insisted, "The lakeside battlefield will be abandoned sooner or later; why not let go now and blow up the Banqiu Lighthouse first!"

All the junior brothers were shouting to fight. Xiao Wencheng pondered: "Listen to me, if we blow up the Banqiu Lighthouse, Miaozhantian might personally take action."

From the beginning of this battle, the strength of both sides had been unequal. The Illusion Sect's biggest disadvantage was Qianhuan's loss of contact!

If they pulled the progress bar of the battle to the end all at once, and the other side played their trump card, what would the Illusion Sect do? They were the only ones missing the hardest and most powerful card!

"By then, how many of us junior brothers will be left?"

"Then what, wait for death?" Elder Xu had a fierce smile on his face. "I am not afraid of death anyway; when the time comes, I will detonate my Primordial Spirit, and even in death, I will drag a few to be my cushions!"

"So in your mouth, either we rush up and have a hard fight, or we sit and wait for death; can't you find any other way?"

"I..."

"Then what about the Illusion Sect? What about the True Person?" Xiao Wencheng said, almost pressing his forehead against Elder Xu's. "Master is still in secluded cultivation; if all of us junior brothers die, who will protect Master? How will Miaozhantian treat the old man?"

Elder Xu choked, but his cheeks were still bulging.

"Then tell me what to do now!"

"Drag it out!" Xiao Wencheng squeezed a word out from between his teeth.

As the person overseeing the overall situation, who could understand his difficulties? This war couldn't be lost, but the Tiangong couldn't be pushed to a desperate situation either, otherwise, they would have to go all out! Just maintaining the current situation took all of Xiao Wencheng's efforts. "Just drag it out with the Tiangong; either find a way to awaken Master, or get them into Kidney Lake! Bai Bai Ziqi has already discovered the connection between the Silver Pearl Fruit and Kidney Lake; perhaps we don't even need to take action, and they will go in themselves!"

"Kidney Lake?" Elder Xu and Elder Su were both shocked. "But, but!"

Luring the enemy into Kidney Lake was a great act of rebellion! "We have already done our best to weaken the enemy; one demon immortal and four Heavenly Demons have died on the other side, so the Tiangong's power is no longer at its peak. Conversely, if we are all wiped out and Master is still in secluded cultivation, I'm afraid he will ultimately be unable to escape..."

He said in a low voice: "Miaozhantian must have come for the skin for divine descent, and Master is so special; if he falls into Miaozhantian's hands, it truly would be unimaginable."

Elder Xu said hatefully: "That would truly be a great humiliation; Master must not be able to tolerate it!"

Xiao Wencheng reached out and patted the Haoyuan Golden Mirror: "Over the past thirty years, we have thought of countless ways but couldn't awaken Master, but just half an hour ago, I felt a palpitation coming from this mirror; Master should be waking up soon."

The two elders were shocked, simply unable to believe their ears: "Really?"

Elder Xu was suspicious: "Sect Master Xiao, you wouldn't..."

You wouldn't be deceiving them, just to lure the enemy army into Kidney Lake and making up a story?

"Do I need to tell this lie? You would agree in the end anyway!" Xiao Wencheng was too lazy to argue with them. "It was at moonrise tonight, which is also the moment Kidney Lake opens, that the Haoyuan Golden Mirror had something different!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing: at moonrise, He Xiao happened to be transmitted to the side of Kidney Lake by the Haoyuan Golden Mirror.

And before that, the Haoyuan Golden Mirror had actually made a transmission error that had never happened before! Could there be any connection between these two? But he secretly laughed at himself for being overly suspicious. Master had delayed his secluded cultivation for more than thirty years, and they had tried every method but couldn't awaken him; how could He Xiao, a mere outsider cultivator, have that kind of ability?

It was just a coincidence.

Master should be in a state between waking and sleeping. Xiao Wencheng said again: "What we should do is drag this war out; this depends on you junior brothers."

"He Xiao, an outsider, can understand my painstaking efforts and knows that the essence of these few battles lies in repeated entanglement!" Xiao Wencheng looked at Elder Xu. "Xu Lao Si, you have tempered your heart for thousands of years; how can you still not compare to a brat in his early twenties!"

Upon hearing He Xiao's name, Elder Xu was furious: "He, an outsider, is pointing fingers here, and I don't know what kind of heart he has. How can we fully trust the ideas he gives? He originally gave Sect Master two methods, but because he had a conflict with me, he told us not to go to Banqiu. *Heh*, who exactly is acting on impulse, you tell me!"

Elder Su said in a low voice: "Island Master He's words are not without reason..."

"Five immortals went on stage just now and couldn't take down the Banqiu Lighthouse; now there are only three left. Can it be taken down without putting in more effort?" Elder Xu stared. "Maintain stability? Listen to his words and go maintain stability again, and the Tiangong team will be at the foot of Shilong Peak!"

This time, Elder Liu also helped him: "Sect Master, if we take down the Banqiu Lighthouse and block the Tiangong's path northward, isn't that also a 'drag it out' tactic? Besides, we've already taken down four or five lighthouses before, and we didn't see Miaozhantian fly into a rage. What could be different this time?"

Seeing that all his junior brothers were so determined, Xiao Wencheng couldn't say anything more: "Junior Brother Su, return to the lakeside battlefield; Junior Brother Xutuo, go to the second lighthouse; the rest, along with that Spider Immortal, all go to Banqiu and take down the lighthouse at the first opportunity!"

When the Storm Wall first opened, the Illusion Sect had nine great immortals (not counting Qianhuan); two died in battle, leaving seven. ===== CHAPTER 1781 =====
