Chapter 559

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, everyone wore a curious expression, and under everyone's gaze, Ye Zhangqing spoke slowly and unhurriedly.

Actually, Nanjing City has always had a huge advantage that we have all overlooked.

Advantage?

Not bad, compared to the other four battlefields.

What advantage?

The rainforest witch tribe.

Witch tribe? Yè Chánglǎo, you might not understand; although our Dao Yi Sect now dominates Dongzhou, those witch tribes are utterly clueless and simply won't obey our orders.

Yeah, even when we enter the rainforest, these witch tribes will attack without hesitation.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing say it was the rainforest witch tribe, everyone shook their heads, thinking it impossible, after all these years, when have the witch tribes ever had contact with the outside world?

In response, Ye Zhangqing said without diminishing his smile.

What you say is correct, but the witch tribe isn't only targeting us; if the Fomen enters the rainforest, will the witch tribe...............

Upon saying this, everyone quickly realized, and their eyes lit up.

Exactly, given the witch tribe's foul temper, they won't care who enters the rainforest; as long as you dare intrude their territory, they will launch an attack without hesitation.

Moreover, although the Fomen suffered a major defeat this time, wanting to defeat them is also not an easy task.

If you really drive these Fomen disciples to desperation, they will launch a fierce counterattack; who knows how much loss they could inflict on the Dao Yi Sect, and mutual destruction is not impossible.

But if, while taking the initiative to attack, you leave the Fomen a retreat, then it's completely different.

This is actually the same as warfare in the secular world.

When two nations go to war, especially in a siege, the attacking side often leaves the defending side a path to survival.

Surround three sides, leave one open.

The reasoning is simple: once you completely encircle them, for the defenders it means forcing them to fight to the death.

At that point, it is clearly disadvantageous for the attacker, requiring a greater cost to capture a city.

But what if you leave a retreat for the defenders?

Put bluntly, this is human nature; with hope of survival, who would truly wish to die?

Ye Zhangqing's proposal quickly gained everyone's support, and on the spot they began to devise a plan.

At Nanjing City, Ye Zhangqing and Bai Hua Xianzi have already prepared to launch an attack.

Within the Fomen, at this moment the myriad Fomen sages, looking at the light curtain before them, all lowered their heads in silence.

And upon the light curtain was a gaunt old man.

But don't let his appearance fool you; he is actually one of the several great Buddhist patriarchs of the Western Province Fomen, a true Great Saint Realm powerhouse.

Furthermore, he is not like Yu Mo and the others before, whose lifespan was nearly exhausted.

In the opening battle, neither side's Great Saint elders took action; the Dao Yi Sect had none, and the Fomen had none.

Only, no one expected the result to be like this.

At this moment, that Buddhist patriarch, face flushed with anger, shouted at the assembled sages.

After a single battle, the Dao Yi Sect has left us like this; where do you place the dignity of our Fomen?

Patriarch, please forgive us, this Dao Yi Sect is truly...............

A sage spoke up, saying they didn't want this either, but they truly never imagined the Dao Yi Sect could sink to such depths, utterly without limits.

Hearing this, the patriarch's expression didn't change much, but he also stopped rebuking, speaking in a low tone.

Regardless of the reason, this is no excuse for defeat; in this campaign to invade Dongzhou, you should know its significance; reinforcements have already set out from the Western Province; in the next battle, this old monk does not wish to see such a result again.

Patriarch, rest assured, we will certainly not repeat the same mistake.

After saying no more, the formation light curtain soon vanished.

Over the next few days, neither side erupted in battle; the Fomen were busy restoring their vitality, temporarily unable to continue attacking.

Apart from a few small skirmishes at the Dongzhou Dukou, the other four battlefields remained very quiet.

This also made the various major sects of Dongzhou grow increasingly strange.

Outside the Dongzhou Dukou, watching the evenly matched sides, the myriad sect scouts all wore doubtful expressions.

That's not right; with such a situation, how could the opening battle have turned out that way?

Judging from the current state of both sides, the Fomen's opening battle could not possibly have suffered a major defeat.

However, someone immediately retorted.

Nonsense, the garrison here is all Luo Xia Sect, not the Dao Yi Sect; the real crushing defeat was in the other four battlefields.

Any news?

Not for now; the other four battlefields are all very quiet.

Looks like we can only wait.

Curious about how the Dao Yi Sect managed to crush the Fomen with overwhelming force, everyone among the major sects harbored this doubt.

But soon, in Nanjing City, the Dao Yi Sect was the first to take action.

Just see that day, Dao Yi Sect disciples took the initiative to attack; seeing this, the sect scouts hidden in the dark let out a gasp all at once.

They had already been waiting here for several days.

As for their presence, Bai Hua Xianzi and the others naturally noticed as well, but simply paid no heed.

They wanted to watch; let them watch—this also happens to be a good opportunity for the Dao Yi Sect to establish its prestige.

Here they come, here they come; we'll quietly follow behind.

Good.

Behind the Dao Yi Sect disciples, the various sect scouts followed cautiously.

At the same time, the Fomen side naturally also quickly noticed; facing the Dao Yi Sect's proactive attack, the Fomen's first reaction was................

Clothes are all taken off.

Damn it, facing the enemy, the first reaction of these Fomen disciples is actually to take off their clothes.

Moreover, so many Fomen disciples, not a single one felt strange, but instead they all stripped naked.

It's not surprising these Fomen disciples.

After all, knowing the methods of these Dao Yi Sect disciples, wearing clothes out would probably not bring them back, better to just take them off, and still have clothes to wear when returning.

They just understand, but the Dao Yi Sect and the scouts of various major sects don't know.

So, when the Dao Yi Sect disciples rushed to the Fomen garrison, seeing a monk naked rushing out, they were stunned.

What the hell, does Fomen have some problem?

Don't know, addicted to being naked?

Dao Yi Sect disciples look weird, we haven't even started fighting, what do you mean by stripping yourselves?

And the scouts of those various major sects are baffled, they all went dumb, staring blankly at these Fomen disciples, after holding back for a while they stammered.

Is this Fomen's tradition?

What tradition? Take off clothes before fighting?

Then how to explain this?

How would I know.

Why do I suddenly feel that Dongzhou would be better under the Dao Yi Sect's control?

Never seen such a scene, for a moment, the scouts of various major sects all had the same idea.

That is, compared to Fomen, Dao Yi Sect seems a better choice, at least they're normal.

Unlike these Fomen disciples, fighting, what are you doing? Want to get you a room or what?
