Chapter 1025

Fairy Baihua led the Jade Maiden Peak disciples to Nanjin City and has already left the sect.

Ye Changqing could not get away, so he was a day late and prepared to set off tomorrow.

Originally, Qi Xiong did not agree with Ye Changqing going to Nanjin City, but since his own woman had already gone to the battlefield, it would be unjustifiable for him to remain cowering at home.

Under Ye Changqing's insistent refusal, Qi Xiong was able to understand and eventually could only nod in agreement.

However, that evening, Yu Mo and the others still handed Ye Changqing quite a few life-saving items.

With so many things, even if faced with the pursuit of a Saint, he could still maneuver for a while.

After all, these were all treasures from the Great Saint ancestors.

Furthermore, Ye Changqing had the Ghost King Zhu Wu protecting him by his side, and with Fairy Baihua added to the mix, there shouldn't be any problems.

Early the next morning, Ye Changqing took Zhu Wu and left the Dao Yi Sect directly, rushing toward Nanjin City.

The eight people including Yu Mo did not travel with him; there was no help for it, as their main task was to deal with the Buddhist Great Saints, so naturally, they could not stay by Ye Changqing's side at all times.

With the departure of the disciples from each peak, the Dao Yi Sect instantly became quiet; only the disciples of a few logistics peaks, such as the Hundred Grass Peak, Ten Thousand Array Peak, and Artifact Refining Peak, remained within the sect.

However, they were not idle either, but were tirelessly refining elixirs, talismans, magic treasures, and so on.

Once the war started, the consumption of things like elixirs would be a bottomless pit; no matter how many there were, it would not be enough.

There were also the main seat Elders; apart from Qi Xiong and Wu Shou who remained to guard the sect, the rest had also rushed to the five major battlefields along with the disciples of each peak.

At Leyun City, Until Hong Zun and the others arrived with their subordinates; the original commoners in the city had long since been relocated to other places.

If these people had remained here, once the war started, they would absolutely have had no chance of survival.

A city that originally had a population of several million was now quiet, and not a single shadow could be seen.

Standing on the city wall, one could see the boundless Boundary Sea in the distance, where the sea and sky met, appearing as if it had no end.

"Senior Brother, should we start preparing?"

A Junior Brother asked Xu Jie and the others; the preparation he spoke of was naturally about setting traps and the like.

After all, although it was said that in a battle of this scale, relying solely on traps could not directly decide the outcome, it was still a good thing to be able to consume some of the Buddhist forces.

Moreover, wasn't this precisely the specialty of the Dao Yi Sect disciples?

However, looking at the Boundary Sea ahead, Xu Jie did not reply, but instead fell into silence.

It was only after a long while that Xu Jie slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"I think we should be flexible this time."

"Flexible? What does Third Senior Brother mean?"

Hearing these words, the surrounding disciples were all stunned, and even Until Hong Zun, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and the others cast their gazes over.

"What kind of devious idea does your brat have again?"

Until Hong Zun asked with even more curiosity; this brat was full of devious tricks, so what had he thought of this time?

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Jie did not keep them in suspense and spoke bluntly.

"I am wondering if we can strike only after the enemy has struck?"

"Strike only after the enemy has struck? What do you mean, brat?"

"Simply setting traps might not have a very good effect; the Buddhists will definitely be on guard in advance, and right now the entire Leyun City is an empty city."

"Master, you say, if we were to put on a show first, then pretend to be defeated and flee, and yield Leyun City to the Buddhists, would they be happy?"

"That's for sure."

"If at this time, traps had already been set by us in the city, and even on the Boundary Sea, just not triggered, then when the Buddhists are at their most excited, we trigger these traps, wouldn't the effect be even better?"

Hmm???

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun already understood Xu Jie's meaning, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Soon, he laughed loudly.

"Haha, good brat, you really do have many devious ideas; you are worthy of being full of devious tricks."

"Master, are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Haha, it means the same thing."

This idea was good; while happy, Until Hong Zun did not think much more of it, but regarding this, Xu Jie had a face full of resignation—what did he mean by "it means the same thing"?

Xu Jie's idea gave Until Hong Zun excellent inspiration, and immediately, he went to find Qin Shanhai, Lin Potian, and the others.

If they executed according to this method, it would truly be able to give the Buddhists a heavy blow, a pretty good opening victory.

And the surrounding disciples, looking at Xu Jie, all revealed expressions of admiration, and one after another, they thought in their hearts.

As expected of the Third Senior Brother, he could even think of such a "vicious" method; he is amazing.

The way of traps and tricking people had truly been mastered by Xu Jie; look at this, the false and the real, the real and the false, it really made people unable to figure it out.

Moreover, an empty Leyun City didn't count for anything at all; if it was lost, it was lost. As long as it could result in severely damaging the Buddhists, it was worth it beyond measure.

This deal was not a loss.
