Chapter 2549: Use Their Own Method Against Them!

"What are Big Brother and Second Brother doing? Are we still going to fight?"

Xuanming could no longer hold back.

The Xuanming Bone Arrow in her hand and the Qiankun Cauldron both tingled, eager to storm in and slaughter every last demon beast, just to vent her fury.

"Stay calm!"

Houtu glanced at Xuanming and said.

Having cultivated with Luo Fu for so long, both Houtu and Xuanming had developed the cultivation base of inner stillness, but this time, Xuanming was truly impatient.

"I don't know either, but the demon clan's sluggishness is clearly a ploy to lure us away—that's obvious."

"Since the demon clan already knows we've arrived at Bombarding Lingshan, they'll surely send someone. The Ten Demon Sages coming is a certainty—now we just need to see which side they'll target."

Houtu laid out all her suspicions.

When Xingtian arrived, Qiangliang had just left, but they'd overheard most of it.

Xingtian praised: "Houtu is truly remarkable—she's analyzed the core points perfectly. So the demon clan will most likely attack our western flank?"

"Correct, because both I and Xuanming are here," Houtu said with confidence.

"Xuanming and I are likely the demon clan's targets, since we've trained under Luo Fu Shengren. If they capture us, they can use us to threaten the Twelve Ancestral Wus."

"Besides, they also want to threaten Luo Fu Shengren—we're already half his disciples."

After hearing this, Xuanming spat out: "Pah! They'll never catch us!"

Xingtian frowned deeply; he found Houtu's reasoning sound—could it really be as she predicted? If so, they'd need to prepare defenses in advance.

"What do you plan to do, Houtu?"

Qiangliang, listening nearby, also felt it made sense—they needed to act sooner.

At the very least, before the Ten Demon Sages moved, they had to find a way to breach this place. Bombarding Lingshan was swarming with demon clan forces, Luo Fu Shengren wasn't here, and they had no one to ask—they could only rely on their own strength to seize this territory.

Houtu had thought of an excellent trick, though it was a bit underhanded.

"Really go through with this?"

Xuanming said: "If we do this, the demon clan might erupt even more violently than we would—if they go all out, we'll lose more than we gain."

"I won't give them the chance to erupt," Houtu smirked slyly.

"Fine, let's try it."

Xingtian and Qiangliang already knew how to act, but now, hearing Houtu's plan, they realized they could combine both approaches for added security.

The Twelve Ancestral Wus' strategies were always top-tier—it just came down to whose plan succeeded.

The Wu clan had studied the demon clan for over a thousand years; they knew their nature inside and out, so this wasn't hard.

The difficulty lay in how to become demon clan members themselves.

Like the fake Tianwu and Wengzi? But they had no such disguise art.

Guiche alone possessed the disguise art—even the Demon Emperor and Donghuang Taiyi couldn't get their hands on it; as long as Guiche refused to release it, they could never obtain it.

"Then we'll try it ourselves—just need to be eight-tenths similar. All we need is to seize the western Bombarding Lingshan."
