Chapter 546
"Has the Fomen already all set out?"
"Yes, they have been divided into five directions."
Inside Zhu Feng's main hall, Qi Xiong, Shi Song, Wu Shou, Hong Zun and the other senior members of the Dao Yi Sect were looking at the Formation Light Curtain in the center of the hall.
And the person within the light curtain was the Peak Master of Shadow Peak, Jueying.
She has already led a portion of Shadow Peak's people on the road back to Dongzhou, and moreover, the Fomen's movements have also been learned by Shadow Peak.
According to the Fomen's displayed march route, the million Fomen disciples have been divided into five teams.
They are respectively heading toward Dongzhou Dukou, Leyun City, Nanjing City, Bo Yunhai Strait, and Wujun Island.
Regarding the Fomen's movements, Qi Xiong and the others weren't particularly surprised; it was as expected.
Moreover, these five places, including Dongzhou Dukou, are indeed all contested spots.
If the Fomen wants to attack Dongzhou, these five places are absolutely the best choices.
And Qi Xiong had already made deployments in these five places.
"Okay, I understand."
Hearing Jueying's words, Qi Xiong nodded and replied, according to Shadow Peak's intelligence, the Fomen could reach Dongzhou in about five days, and the Dao Yi Sect should also prepare to act.
Then Qi Xiong reminded Jueying to be careful on the way, and afterwards he ended the formation.
His gaze swept over those present, and Qi Xiong spoke in a deep voice.
"Dongzhou Dukou is handed over to Luo Xia Sect."
"Leyun City, Hong Zun's Divine Sword Peak, Qin Shanhai's Blood Blade Peak, Lin Potian's Overlord Spear Peak, and Guigu."
"Nanjing City, Mo Yun's Literature Institute Peak, Capture Dragon's Dragon Elephant Peak.........."
He announced the planned assignments one by one; each place had someone in charge.
In response to Qi Xiong's orders, everyone present respectfully complied.
Usually the Shī xiōng could joke around, but now with the imminent war, no one could joke about this.
As the Sect Master, at times like this, Qi Xiong's words are orders; even a Shī xiōng must obey unconditionally.
Having made the arrangements, the people dispersed one after another, and they would set out tomorrow.
The five major battlefields against the Fomen have basically been confirmed, and the outcome of these five battlefields directly determines the outcome of the entire campaign.
Other places might still have sporadic skirmishes, but compared to the five major battlefields, those are insignificant.
Truly, the outcome still depends on these five major battlefields.
Afterwards, Qi Xiong went to the canteen again, mainly to find Yu Mo and the others.
The Fomen had dispatched several Great Saint powerhouses; exactly who they were, Shadow Peak could not ascertain.
So Qi Xiong could only have Yu Mo and the others be careful, after all, a Great Saint Realm elder could only rely on Yu Mo and the others.
"Although the Fomen have slightly more Great Saints, they cannot possibly send them all out; leave it to us."
The Great Saint Realm elders of the Western Fomen, according to Yu Mo and the others, should be around ten people.
Their numbers are slightly more than the Dao Yi Sect's, but the Western homeland definitely needs to keep a Great Saint elder to hold the fort.
So, it's impossible for all of them to come, and moreover, among the Fomen Great Saint elders, several are nearing the end of their lifespans, making it impossible for them to easily leave seclusion.
Qi Xiong only needs to take charge of the overall situation; as for the Great Saint elders, Yu Mo and the others will handle them.
Hearing that, Qi Xiong silently nodded, then didn't linger long, soon bidding farewell and leaving.
These days he has not relaxed for a moment, after all this concerns the future of the entire Dao Yi Sect; as Sect Master, he cannot afford the slightest mistake at this time.
On another side, across the boundless expanse of the Jiehai Sea, Fomen star vessels are speeding past at great speed.
The Demon Race beings on the water surface, facing such a multitude of star vessels, dare not even show their heads, let alone attack.
Within one of the Fomen fleets, inside the largest and most luxurious star vessel, several Fomen saints sat together in a circle.
They are one of the five Fomen fleets, and these few saints are the leaders of this fleet.
"That Dao Yi Sect probably already sensed our intentions."
"No problem, Dongzhou Dukou, Leyun Cheng, Nanjing Cheng, Bo Yunhai Xia, Wujun Dao—these are must‑take targets; the Dao Yi Sect will surely focus its defenses there."
"How many more days until we reach Leyun Cheng?"
Their fleet's main mission is to capture Leyun Cheng, establishing a foothold for the subsequent assault on Dongzhou.
"Five days."
"Good, no matter what countermeasures the Dao Yi Sect has, our sole goal is to seize Leyun Cheng at any cost."
"Namo Amitabha, this time we must let our Xizhou Buddhist teachings spread completely throughout Dongzhou."
"Shī xiōng, these words are excellent."
Regarding the assault on Dongzhou, these Fomen saints seem quite confident, not showing excessive nervousness.
After all, the Dao Yi Sect cannot possibly gather the entirety of Dongzhou's strength like the Fomen can.
Although it claims hegemony over Dongzhou, building that takes time, and the Fomen clearly have no intention of giving the Dao Yi Sect any time.
With just one sect's strength, to think of opposing the entirety of the Xizhou Fomen is impossible.
Among the star vessel fleet, Buddhist chanting voices rise one after another, and the momentum is indeed immensely grand.
The Fomen keep approaching, while inside the Dao Yi Sect, the disciples have also readied themselves to set out for the five major battlefields.
According to Qi Xiong's arrangements, the thirty-six peaks of the Dao Yi Sect each fulfill their duties.
Hong Zun's Divine Sword Peak, Qin Shan Hai's Blood Blade Peak, Lin Potian's Overlord Spear Peak set out first, preparing to rush to Leyun Cheng.
The disciples no longer had their usual frivolity; early in the morning, the entire Dao Yi Sect was shrouded in a solemn, killing aura.
The sect's Teleportation Array was fully activated, with mountains of spirit stones being wildly consumed, though no one paid attention to that.
At the summit of Zhu Feng, Qi Xiong and Wu Shou watched from afar as disciples continually rushed toward the Teleportation Array; neither spoke, and no one knew how many disciples would return this time.
Just as before, before the Teleportation Array, the Elders of Hundred Herbs Peak, Ten Thousand Formations Peak, and Refining Weapons Peak had already prepared ample pills, Talisman Seals, and magical treasures.
Every disciple could receive a share, and this time, Peak Master Yu Mo, Zhang Tianzhen, and Chen Bing—the three of them—were also personally present.
"This time the Sect gave out a lot of medicinal pills!"
A disciple received the medicinal pills, examined them, and then feigned a smile as he spoke.
Indeed, this time the Sect's medicinal pills given to each disciple directly increased by more than double.
With so many medicinal pills, there are all types—healing, life-preserving, detoxifying.
With so many disciples each receiving a share, the total consumption adds up to an astronomical figure.
However, the disciples are not stupid either; they all clearly understand why the Sect is doing this.
It means that this great battle is absolutely incomparable to previous ones; the Sect has exhausted every means, giving its all to provide protection for the disciples, hoping they can survive as much as possible on the battlefield.
But from another perspective, this undoubtedly also tells the many disciples just how cruel this battle is.
Holding in their hands the heavy medicinal pills, talisman seals, and various magical treasures, although some disciples forced smiles, many more remained silent, stepping onto the teleportation array; the next moment, their destination would be the most brutal battlefield.
