Chapter 1782
"However, all the above deductions are based on the premise that the Illusion Sect adopts the first plan. Next, what I say, switch to sign language again," He Lingchuan gestured. "Do you know, since concentrating the Illusion Sect immortals' power can crush the lighthouse, why did I let them attack separately before?" In the lakeside battlefield, he arranged at most three Illusion Sect immortals; although there were five immortals in the Banqiu battlefield, three were under the lighthouse, and two (including Mother Zhu) were in the mine cave, none of them bunched together.
Although after killing the Zhaoyou God and Jie Shui True Person, Mother Zhu briefly went to the Banqiu Lighthouse to help, He Lingchuan quickly summoned her back as soon as Fenghe Goddess was killed, never letting her stay in Banqiu for too long.
Mother Zhu and Dong Rui both shook their heads; neither of them had He Lingchuan's thousand-turn brain, and this reason was truly impossible to guess.
"Because of Miaozhantian!" He Lingchuan gestured, "He dared to raid the Inverted Sea because he was prepared. Since the immortal-demon war started, he has always been wary of Thousand Illusions and hasn't personally taken the field, but if the bait in front of him is rich enough, it's hard to guarantee he won't be moved, won't reach out."
Mother Zhu suddenly realized: "No wonder you said that if the Illusion Sect immortals bunch together to attack the Banqiu Lighthouse, it would be easy to be wiped out in one pot."
"There is strength in numbers; their view is not wrong, and their laughing at me is not wrong. The saying of 'wiped out in one pot' is also something I made up. I couldn't even think of what method Miaozhantian could have to kill four or five immortals in one go, but once he takes action, it must be thunderous. The Illusion Sect's immortals will suffer major damage, and the balance of strength between the Tiangong and the Illusion Sect will likely be broken."
"Even if Miaozhantian can't get rid of the Illusion Sect immortals, that doesn't matter," He Lingchuan shrugged. "The Banqiu Lighthouse is blown up, and the Tiangong's pace of advance is dragged down; we are equally happy to see it. No matter how you calculate it, we don't lose."
This war belongs to the Illusion Sect and the Tiangong; to go deeper, it belongs to Thousand Illusions and Miaozhantian. He Lingchuan and the others were originally just onlookers; as long as they didn't become the bird that sticks its head out, they could be at ease between the two sides.
"Besides, I have created such a good opportunity for Bai Ziqi; if he can't catch it and instead loses, that can't be blamed on me."
To some extent, he might be the person who believes in Bai Ziqi the most in the Inverted Sea.
Dong Rui looked at his smile and felt a bit creepy.
After calculating the Tiangong, he turned around and calculated the Illusion Sect; those recorded in He Lingchuan's little notebook have no good endings, and they are pitiful without knowing it.
He also gestured to ask He Lingchuan: "Is there anyone you and Bai Ziqi can't deal with if you join forces?"
He Lingchuan thought seriously: "In the Inverted Sea, there probably isn't."
……
Xiao Wencheng asked He Lingchuan and the others to enter the Wenhui Pavilion again.
The elders had already left, and the pavilion returned to tranquility.
Seeing his ugly expression, He Lingchuan asked with concern: "What happened just now?"
"A traitor sneaked into the Immortal Light Cave to steal Profound Crystals and transported a portion out."
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other; a traitor appeared so quickly? The Tiangong had entered the Inverted Sea for less than a night.
"The loss is huge?"
"Not small." Xiao Wencheng's expression was solemn. "But he didn't steal it all."
He? The traitor who caused trouble was just one person?
This extremely bad episode in the Immortal Light Cave also made Xiao Wencheng determined.
It was hard to gain the upper hand, but the Tiangong had obtained more than sixty thousand jin of Profound Crystals out of thin air; God knows what they could do. The Tiangong's methods were truly flexible, and their own side was restless.
He Lingchuan said solemnly: "Wait, this batch of Profound Crystals has already fallen into the hands of the Tiangong?"
Immortals are concerned about face; if they can say "the loss is not small," the number of stolen Profound Crystals must be astonishing.
"Yes. They used a Bottomless Bag blessed with divine arts; they stole it here, and the lakeside lighthouse received it in real-time, without the need for transportation in between."
"No wonder!" He Lingchuan suddenly realized. "Bai Ziqi got this batch of Profound Crystals, so he has the resources to raise the Banqiu Lighthouse!"
"As long as the Banqiu Lighthouse's range continues to expand and connects with the second lighthouse, he can move all the ground troops from the lakeside there!" He Lingchuan could deduce it in an instant. "Once Banqiu is occupied, they are almost at the foot of Stone Dragon Mountain!"
Even without using the final trump card, the Tiangong was stepping closer and closer to the Illusion Sect's station.
With this batch of Profound Crystals, they could directly take a big step forward.
Even without mobilizing Miaozhantian's power, the Tiangong was about to reach out to Stone Dragon Peak.
"A traitor can actually rewrite the war situation of Silver Pearl Island?"
Xiao Wencheng sighed: "We have decided to go all out to attack the Banqiu Lighthouse."
Dong Rui immediately glanced at He Lingchuan, meaning "you guessed it again."
He Lingchuan nodded solemnly: "I wish your sect great success."
Excellent. As long as Bai Ziqi and Miaozhantian take action, the progress of the Inverted Sea war will accelerate.
Xiao Wencheng immediately said: "I want to request the Spider Queen's help to coordinate the attack on the Banqiu Lighthouse again."
This cave-dwelling Spider Queen was not only brave but also had quite rich combat experience, and was a very precious combat power at the moment. The Illusion Sect wanted to take Banqiu in one go, so naturally, the more immortals participating, the better.
He Lingchuan immediately asked: "Are there elders guarding the other lighthouses?"
"Yes."
"Mother Zhu can go to battle, but she will only go to the lakeside battlefield," He Lingchuan said immediately. "Sect Master Xiao knows how to arrange it."
His concerns were undisguised, and Xiao Wencheng's heart sank, but the sect had already made a decision, so he couldn't change it.
"Fine." The Spider Immortal was not a disciple of the Illusion Sect, so Xiao Wencheng couldn't force her even if he was unhappy. He immediately transferred Elder Su from the lakeside battlefield to Banqiu and let the cave-dwelling Spider Queen fill the vacancy in the lakeside battlefield.
He Lingchuan gave Mother Zhu a few instructions, and she jumped into the Haoyuan Gold Mirror very simply and went to stroll by the Inverted Lake.
There were no idle people in the Wenhui Pavilion again, and He Lingchuan smiled at Xiao Wencheng: "I originally thought Sect Master Xiao would let the elders hold the Haoyuan Gold Mirror and go to Banqiu."
The Illusion Sect disciples inherited from Thousand Illusions and were all trapped within the rules of the Inverted Sea. Relying on themselves alone, it was difficult to destroy the Haoyuan Gold Mirror.
Xiao Wencheng's expression was a bit bitter: "Can't move it in. The Haoyuan Gold Mirror represents the laws of the Inverted Sea and cannot be brought into Miaozhantian's lighthouse barrier."
He Lingchuan suddenly realized. That's right, why did Miaozhantian set up the lighthouse barrier? It was to keep the laws of the Inverted Sea out. So the mirror could be opened anywhere, but it couldn't be opened inside his barrier.
Miaozhantian's barrier was truly becoming more and more powerful.
Dong Rui blinked at He Lingchuan, yo, this old guy had really tried! If Thousand Illusions came out of seclusion, I don't know if he would scold his unfilial disciple.
……
Upon receiving the news of Goddess Fenghe's death, Bai Ziqi's heart sank to the bottom again.
Counting the Zhaoyou God and Jie Shui True Person who went missing in the mine mountain, this trip to the Inverted Sea by the Tiangong had already lost five great powers without even seeing Thousand Illusions' face, far exceeding the Tiangong's estimates.
