Chapter 894: Hunting Ye Lingyun

Hearing the two names mentioned by Yaoguang.

The expressions of the crowd shifted, and they all stared at Yaoguang, waiting for her to continue.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Yaoguang paused for a moment before continuing, "Ye Lingyun is an Array Path Monster of the Immortal Abandoned Land. He repaired the damaged City Protection Array of Wenxian City and even built a second City Protection Array for Wenxian City. Given his status, it is easy for him to come into contact with the City Protection Array."

"Wei Yuan is a heaven-gifted talent of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace in the Immortal Abandoned Land. He holds a high position within Wenxian City and also has the opportunity to come into contact with Wenxian City's City Protection Array."

"Besides them, Lingling, Yin Xuan, and the members of the Wenxian City Array Department are all excellent candidates."

"However, members of the Array Department generally do not leave Wenxian City, Linglong has already left the Outer Realm Battlefield, and Yin Xuan is the newly appointed City Lord of Wenxian City; he will not easily go out."

"Therefore, Ye Lingyun and Wei Yuan are the best candidates."

Upon hearing the name Ye Lingyun, a flash of resentment appeared in the eyes of Xiaoyue Daoren among the crowd.

He chimed in, "This person Ye Lingyun has an unprecedented mastery of the Array Path. We attacked Wenxian City twice in succession before, and both times we were turned back just as we were about to succeed."

"If we can behead him and then have Daoist Friend Wan disguise himself as him to enter Wenxian City, it would be killing two birds with one stone."

"I suggest prioritizing Ye Lingyun."

Hearing the words of Xiaoyue Daoren, the expressions of everyone present became somewhat solemn.

"Reversing the war situation with the strength of one person? I didn't expect that such a heaven-gifted talent could be born in a place with such thin Spirit Qi like the Immortal Abandoned Land."

A look of amazement appeared on the face of Qingshui, "However, for such an Array Path talent, Wenxian City would be too busy protecting him inside the city to let him roam in this Outer Realm Battlefield, wouldn't they?"

Xiaoyue Daoren smiled and shook his head, "Daoist Friend, that is where you are wrong. For an existence of Ye Lingyun's level, whether or not he stays in Wenxian City depends entirely on his own will; Wenxian City cannot force him."

"As far as I know, Ye Lingyun happens to be a person who likes to take risks and roam."

"I won't hide it from you all, my Tianlang Hall has always had people chasing and blocking Ye Lingyun in this Outer Realm Battlefield."

"Although we have never been able to catch the other party, we can confirm that the other party is currently roaming in the wild areas of the Outer Realm Battlefield."

"Moreover, I can contact my fellow sect members to obtain the other party's approximate location."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up one after another.

"Killing Ye Lingyun can not only eliminate a major threat but also make it easier to approach the City Protection Array by disguising as him; it can be called killing two birds with one stone."

"Since there is an opportunity to behead Ye Lingyun, we should naturally prioritize him."

The Leader of Cangzhou nodded.

The other leaders nodded one after another upon hearing this.

"Since that is the case, let's settle it this way."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "However, our arrival needs to be kept secret, so it is not appropriate to mobilize too many people to surround and kill Ye Lingyun."

"Not mobilize too many people? Foolish!"

As soon as Wang Jianqiang finished speaking, a cold sneer suddenly came from somewhere.

Wang Jianqiang turned his head to look at the person who sneered and said with a smile, "Daoist Friend, if you have any opinions, you can speak them directly. Although you don't have much say here, we are currently in the stage of brainstorming. If your opinion is good, we can consider adopting it."

Upon hearing this, Cao Tian's face turned dark.

These words from Wan Guiyuan were as good as telling him plainly, "You are a head shorter than all of us; I will pay attention to you if I want to, and if I don't, nothing you say matters."

A wave of anger surged in his heart.

Yet he had no way to refute it.

Because the leader of Cangzhou was Yuwei, he indeed had no decision-making power.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang and snorted coldly, "That Ye Lingyun possesses the ability to change the battlefield alone and has been able to survive endless pursuits until now, which proves his outstanding ability."

"You know this, yet you still insist on this; if this isn't foolish, what is?"

Wang Jianqiang was not angry upon hearing this.

He shook his head with a chuckle, "Mobilizing fewer people is just to reduce the impact; it doesn't mean the force mobilized is small. At worst, we can just form an Elite Squad."

An Elite Squad?

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the crowd was stunned.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "That's right, each continent sends two Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators. We have eight continents in total; with sixteen Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators joining forces, are we still afraid we can't take down Ye Lingyun alone?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the crowd shifted.

With sixteen Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators joining forces, no one below the Spirit Transformation Stage could resist.

Taking down Ye Lingyun should be no problem.

Just as the crowd was lost in thought, Wang Jianqiang looked at Cao Tian with a smile, "Does Daoist Friend Cao now think that Wan's plan is appropriate?"

Cao Tian snorted coldly, "With so many Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators mobilized, although the number of people is small, the commotion caused may not necessarily be small."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Isn't it enough if we conceal our aura well before we make a move?"

"Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivation is already the top-tier cultivation in this Outer Realm Battlefield. Under the Concealment Technique, as long as we don't make a move casually and don't run into cultivators of the same level, it should be very safe, right?"

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators sitting in Wenxian City right now."

Cao Tian's expression froze.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "If Daoist Friend is still worried, why not just join the team to hunt Ye Lingyun?"

"Could it be that Daoist Friend only knows how to talk?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's obvious provocation, Cao Tian sneered, "Wan Guiyuan, you don't need to provoke me; a mere Ye Lingyun is not worth my concern."

"Since you want Cao to make a move, then Cao will grant your wish."

"Among the people from the Cangzhou side, count me in."

"However, I dare to join the team, do you dare?"

"This operation was decided under your leadership. As the leader, do you dare to participate personally?"

Hearing Cao Tian's words, the brows of the Beast Taming Sect disciples in the Youzhou team furrowed at the same time.

Jiuyou's gaze flashed, "Do not fall for his provocation. You are the leader of our Youzhou team. If you participate in the operation to hunt Ye Lingyun, who will command our Youzhou team?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, "Daoist Friend Cao is actually quite right. I am the leader of this plan, and it is best for me to lead the Elite Squad."

"Furthermore, after killing Ye Lingyun, I will have to leave the team anyway; sneaking into Wenxian City and leaving the team is only a matter of time."

"As for who will take command after I leave..."

Speaking to this point, he swept his gaze across the team and pointed at Jiuyou, "Everyone, hear my order: I now appoint Jiuyou as the deputy Leader of the Youzhou team."

"During the period I am not with the team, everyone must obey Jiuyou's orders; those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's order, the eyes of the people in the team flickered with varying thoughts, but no one stood up to object.

This Wan Guiyuan had a very black heart and was bold enough to defy the heavens.

They did not doubt for a second that if anyone stood up to object, this bastard would dare to strike them dead immediately.

Wang Jianqiang swept his gaze over the members of the Youzhou team, and seeing that no one stood up to object, he felt a wave of regret in his heart.

Afterward, he began to select another candidate from the Youzhou team besides himself.
