Chapter 80: No need to rush them to come.
This grandmaster is really not polite at all!
Wang Yan chuckled awkwardly and pulled out four "Heavenly Net" cards: "You said one card could be exchanged for a life-saving iron shield!"
"Alright!" Qin Bilian waved his hand, and the four life-saving iron tokens flew into Wang Yan's hands.
Wang Yan happily put the package away, then asked with concern, "Have the reinforcements arrived at Flying Eagle Mountain?"
"They regrouped half an hour ago." Qin Bilian's brows continued to relax, a relieved smile in his eyes. "They are now discussing how to launch a counterattack against the Mad Eagle Sect and the Golden Python Sect that ambushed them."
……
At the same time, Qiao Bentu, Jiang Linyue, and Di Nan were in the command tent set up by Shen Conghui, participating in the counterattack meeting chaired by Shen Conghui and Cao He.
Deng Jianghui, who specializes in offensive divine scripts, and Chen Ziqiang, who specializes in defensive divine scripts, along with Li Tianfeng, the peak master of Zhantian Peak, are having a heated discussion around a sand table depicting the currently explored terrain of Feiying Mountain.
Shen Conghui, whose face was still somewhat pale, had taken the excellent medicine that Chen Ziqiang had brought. At this moment, he spoke in a still weak voice, his voice filled with resentment.
"Our sect has already thrown the three spies suspected of being enemy informants into the dungeon. Currently, there is only fog on the mountaintop, no rain, and today is expected to be sunny. Therefore, we are ordered to stay here for one day to first defeat the combined attack of the Mad Eagle Sect and the Golden Python Sect. We will return to reinforce the sect at dawn tomorrow."
"Currently, we have myself, the peak master, and two others from Divine Inscription Peak who are capable of fighting. We also have four more from Fire Refining Peak and Pill Cauldron Peak who are capable of condensing essence. However, our combat strength is still slightly weaker than those two sects. I think it would be better to use me as bait to lure them into our trap."
Shen Conghui had been engaged in open and covert struggles with several elders of the Guyuan Realm from the Mad Eagle Sect and the Golden Python Sect for over a hundred years, and had always maintained the upper hand.
Unexpectedly, this time when he led the team to explore the secret realm of Flying Eagle Mountain, he was betrayed by the two sects and watched helplessly as his two close senior brothers died one after another, and he himself was seriously injured.
If the sect hadn't discovered Wang Yan, a prodigy with a six-petaled literary talent, and provided him with miraculous medical-type divine script in time, Shen Conghui would already be dead.
This was truly a great humiliation, so he was determined to take revenge.
His eldest disciple, Cao He, stood to the side, his eyes also flashing with hatred: "This disciple believes that we can use the concealed divine runes of this evasion technique to break through, ambush, and assassinate them one by one."
"If we want to make the act more convincing, we can also choose a few young female junior sisters and nieces to pretend to be seriously injured and separated from us, so as to lure them to kill us."
"This disciple is willing to give it a try." Jiang Linyue, who had been listening in, immediately lit up her beautiful eyes and took the initiative to clasp her hands in a gesture of respect: "This disciple's cultivation is weak and she is young. Her injuries are not serious. If she is really chased by them, this disciple is confident that she can escape."
Qiao Ben looked at her with concern, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Uncle Hua, my master told me to make sure I follow my junior sister closely."
Still looking tired, Hua Xufang glanced at them without surprise and nodded approvingly: "Alright, you've both exchanged for Wang Yan's medical, stealth, and speed-type divine rune combinations, right? Be careful. Be sure to return in one day so we can go back to support the sect."
In any case, the divine scripts that Wang Yan applied for are definitely superior to those of disciples from rival sects of the same level.
"Then, I will inform the sect now that we will return by inter-domain flying boat at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow," Li Tianfeng declared decisively.
...
After half a cup of tea.
After reading the report sent by Li Tianfeng, Wang Yan frowned subconsciously. His eyes darted around a few times with a serious expression before he quickly looked up and stared intently at Qin Bilian: "Grandmaster, besides Flying Eagle Mountain, shouldn't our sect have other forces stationed elsewhere?"
Master Qin nodded in confusion: "Of course. The team from Flying Eagle Mountain is the furthest from us. Without using a trans-domain airship, which consumes a great deal of resources, a normal rescue would take at least a month to reach them."
"Since they're going to use inter-domain airships to get back anyway, I'll give them a day to take their revenge."
"But I think you don't need to rush them back!" Wang Yan's gaze was intense. He sat down opposite Master Qin, picked up a blank sheet of paper, then picked up a pen and began to write in front of the latter.
"Our sect's hidden formation should hold for another day or two. Why don't we let the disciples who have completed their missions in other locations return first?"
"I think that after we defeat those three sects this time, we should go to them and retaliate against them one by one. Meanwhile, the Flying Eagle Mountain team will conduct guerrilla warfare outside, ready to follow our orders at any time to retaliate against the five sects and tie down their forces. Perhaps the alliance of the five sects will gradually dissolve due to internal conflicts."
Considering the word-formation and sentence-making abilities of this world, Wang Yan tried to use as few idioms as possible and spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Seeing Master Qin looking over in surprise, Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly said, "Master, I've seen plenty of fights between uncles and brothers in the village. It's nothing more than rallying one group to deal with another. Whoever has stronger allies will be more wary of the others."
"Even within a family, with many brothers, there will be their own agendas. Otherwise, my uncle and aunt wouldn't have both taken care of me and abused me at the same time."
"Once these three sects attacking our area learn of the situation at Flying Eagle Mountain and realize they can't quickly take us down, internal disagreements will inevitably arise. Then, it will be our turn to take revenge!"
Master Qin's gaze was deep and unfathomable: "Ke Lin Yue is there too, aren't you worried about her?"
Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, then his face quickly burned, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "I believe that Grandmaster Deng and Peak Master Li will definitely protect her well."
Qin Bilian's gaze softened considerably, even showing a hint of a smile: "What's there to be ashamed of?"
"You were just an outer disciple before, and your sea of consciousness level wasn't high, so I didn't think highly of you and Lin Yue. But now, you are an inner disciple of my Divine Literature Peak, and your cultivation has reached the Profound Breakthrough stage. You are also about the same age as Lin Yue. I believe Elder Zhu won't object to you two spending more time together."
Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a fawning smile, "Then thank you very much, Peak Master!"
Qin Bilian smiled and pointed at him, "That's more like it! When it comes to relationships, a man has to be shameless!"
After a pause, Qin Bilian's smile faded. "I'll discuss your opinion with your other senior uncles and see how to allocate resources."
"Thank you for your understanding, Martial Uncle!" Wang Yan's eyes lit up with joy, and he bowed with a smile, "Then I'll go out for a stroll."
Go!
At the same time, Qian Li was also on the descending airship when he received a solemn divine sense transmission from Hui Hetian.
"Brother Qian, Du Weihu sent word that the severely injured Yunding Sect disciple in Flying Eagle Mountain has suddenly disappeared without a trace, quite similar to our current situation. It's likely they used the same kind of concealed divine rune formation. Elder Qi of your sect, who possesses the five-petaled flower of literary talent, is renowned alongside Deng Jianghui. Could he devise a way to break the formation?"
Qian Li's face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance as he grumbled, "Hmph, despite his usual arrogance, he's already tried over ten different methods, and none of them have worked!"
Huihe Tian's divine sense quickly transmitted again, its tone sinister: "Brother Qian, our three sects' disciples have searched for a whole day without finding a single clue. Continuing like this will only be detrimental to our side!"
"Do you think it's possible that those three sects discovered our intentions beforehand and sent a master of divine script to the Cloud Cauldron Sect?"
