Chapter 941: Joining Forces, The Bait

"That's right."

Hearing Xuan Che's words, Cao Tian's eyes lit up, "Jiuyou and the others are indeed not weak, but they are not yet strong enough to annihilate our team of five hundred."

"Furthermore, judging by the sudden intervention of the Wenxian City cultivators, it is clear that Wenxian City has already developed the intention to approach Jiuyou and the others."

"Once they persuade Jiuyou and the others to join forces with them, the strength of Wenxian City will surely increase significantly."

Yuwei woke from her deep thoughts and looked at Cao Tian, "This is merely your speculation, Senior Brother."

Cao Tian shook his head, "But you cannot deny, Junior Sister, that this possibility exists."

Upon hearing this, Yuwei fell silent.

Seeing this, Cao Tian continued, "I have another piece of news that I need to remind everyone of."

His voice suddenly grew louder.

The attention of the crowd focused on him one after another.

Cao Tian scanned the crowd and said with a grave expression, "Ye Lingyun, whom I forced into a desperate situation, did not perish. Instead, he turned a misfortune into a blessing; his strength has improved tremendously. Now, even without employing an Array, his own power alone is enough to possess Leader Stage combat strength."

The crowd was shocked upon hearing this.

Ye Lingyun didn't die?

And, a Monster Array Master whose own combat strength could actually reach the Leader Stage???

How could this be?

The crowd was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Seeing this, Cao Tian looked at Xuan Che, "Daoist Friend Xuan just fought with Ye Lingyun; on this point, Daoist Friend Xuan has the most authority to speak."

The crowd came back to their senses one after another and looked at Xuan Che.

Xuan Che's face was as cold as water, and he nodded, "That Ye Lingyun indeed already possesses Leader Stage combat strength."

Hearing Xuan Che's confirmation, the crowd gasped.

All this time, what everyone feared was merely Ye Lingyun's ability in the Array Path.

Now that his own strength has reached such a level, his ability to influence the war will inevitably become even greater.

It seems the difficulty of attacking Wenxian City is much harder than imagined!

Thinking of this, a sense of heaviness weighed on everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, Cao Tian continued, "I think you all already have some understanding of our current situation."

"Since the two leaders, Daoist Friend Xuan and Junior Sister Yuwei, cannot reach a consensus, why not leave the decision to you, fellow Daoists?"

"What do you fellow Daoists think we should do?"

"Should we leave Jiuyou and the others, who might rebel at any moment, alone, or should we eliminate the future trouble once and for all?"

As Cao Tian's voice fell, a voice immediately responded, "Naturally, we should kill Jiuyou and the others first to eliminate the future trouble."

The person who spoke was a Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator.

This person came from the Youyun Holy Land.

Not to mention that Jiuyou was a traitor to the Youyun Holy Land and was already viewed with hostility by the disciples of the Youyun Holy Land.

In the previous pursuit team of five hundred, there were also dozens of Youyun Holy Land disciples.

Just the annihilation of these fellow disciples was enough to make the remaining Youyun Holy Land disciples hate Jiuyou.

Following his words, the Youyun Holy Land cultivators present spoke up one after another in agreement.

Immediately after.

The Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators also followed suit.

After that, voices of agreement rang out one after another.

Seeing that more than half of the cultivators present had agreed, Yuwei sighed and finally stopped insisting.

"Since that is the case, then let it be decided according to your plan."

Hearing Yuwei's words, Cao Tian's eyes lit up instantly.

Among the cultivators present, he understood Yuwei's strength the best.

Yuwei's strength was an overwhelming kind of strength.

The so-called Leader Stage, in his view, had a huge gap compared to Yuwei.

Even having witnessed Lu Xiu's strength, he still had absolute confidence in Yuwei.

"You mean for us to go to the area you specified to rest for a day?"

Hearing the Great Star Envoy's so-called plan, Jiuyou was stunned.

After pondering for a moment, she raised an eyebrow, "You want to use us as bait to lure Cao Tian and the others back again, right?"

The Great Star Envoy nodded frankly, "That's right."

Jiuyou shook her head, "Are you so sure that Cao Tian and the others will dare to come back?"

The Great Star Envoy nodded.

Jiuyou looked at the Great Star Envoy for a moment and nodded, "Since that is the case, then let's proceed according to your plan."

"However, in doing so, our obligation to cooperate with you will be considered fulfilled. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, you Wenxian City must let Wan Guiyuan go."

The Great Star Envoy nodded, "Agreed."

Jiuyou shook her head, "A mere verbal promise won't do."

The Great Star Envoy's expression shifted, "I swear upon my Dao Heart that after this matter, I will certainly not make things difficult for that cultivator who broke into Wenxian City from Outside the Realm."

He did not dare to say the name Wan Guiyuan directly.

Because from Wang Jianqiang, she already knew that the name Wan Guiyuan was not fictitious, but rather borrowed from someone who had already perished.

Hearing this, Jiuyou did not think much of it, "Since that is the case, I will go and settle things and prepare for a while."

After speaking, he flew off into the distance.

After Jiuyou left, the expression on Lu Xiu's face, which had been slightly tense the whole time, suddenly relaxed.

She looked at the Great Star Envoy with a smile, "The arrangements are not bad."

A flash of unnaturalness crossed the Great Star Envoy's face.

Long before the operation, Wang Jianqiang had already revealed the true identity of "Lu Xiu" to them.

Naturally, they knew that the person before them was not the real Lu Xiu, but was disguised as Mu Lingxi.

Afterwards, Mu Lingxi's figure flashed, and she arrived beside Xiao Ke Ke, pinching her cheek, "Tsk tsk, still so tender."

Xiao Ke Ke's face flushed red, a shy expression appearing on her face, "Junior sister, don't be like this."

"What are you afraid of?"

Mu Lingxi pursed her lips, "Are you afraid that Senior Brother will be jealous of me?"

Xiao Ke Ke's face instantly turned even redder.

Mu Lingxi smiled, her gaze shifting to land on that figure filled with a noble temperament, and she said with a smile, "Fairy Nangong has come too? Senior Brother has praised Fairy's talent several times; I wonder if you have been won over by Senior Brother?"

Nangong Yu smiled, "Mu Xianzi is joking. There are so many beauties by Daoist Friend Wang's side; he certainly doesn't lack someone as mediocre as me."

"Fairy Nangong is being too modest." Mu Lingxi smiled and did not continue on this topic, "Senior Brother has already informed me of the plan via message; you all just need to do what you are supposed to do."

"When necessary, I will take action to assist."

The Great Star Envoy, Xiao Ke Ke, and Nangong Yu nodded simultaneously.

Afterwards, Mu Lingxi did not chat much with the three of them and flew toward the direction where Jiuyou had left.

Not long after.

He flew into a team.

It was precisely the team from the Sacred Palace and the Beast Taming Sect.

Originally, the combined number of people from the two sects was several dozen.

Now, after two rounds of interception and killing, the number of people in the team had shrunk significantly, leaving only thirty-some people.

Moreover, among these thirty-some people, more than half were seriously injured, and the rest also had more or less injuries on their bodies.

Even Yaoguang and Yuan Xiuya, these two great Ninth-Order Will Stage combatants, had light injuries on them.

At this moment.

Jiuyou had already gathered everyone together.
