Chapter 1751 The Choice Given by He Lingchuan
"Strange. Could it be that the Heavenly Palace has given all its resources to it? Banqiu Lighthouse has been built, and Bai Ziqi wants to consolidate this achievement. Even if resources and manpower are tight, he must allocate garrison troops to it. In this way, the pressure on our battlefield by the lake will be reduced."
He had been procrastinating in the mine for so long without taking any action, so of course Bai Ziqi would send reinforcements to Banqiu. But Bai Ziqi was really willing to do so. The Banqiu Lighthouse could grow so tall and bright, it must have been devouring the black crystal.
Isn't this great? Everywhere the fights are lively and evenly matched.
But Xiao Wencheng shook his head, his face solemn: "The situation on the lakeside battlefield is unfavorable."
This is also an important reason why he invited He Lingchuan back.
He pointed to the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, which now showed the situation on the lakeside battlefield.
He Lingchuan noticed something was wrong: "Why aren't there any Yakshas in the Upside-Down Lake?"
The lighthouse barrier has automatically shrunk its scope and no longer includes the upside-down lake. The lakeshore is now clean, with a few Yakshas patrolling occasionally, all in a lazy manner.
"Miao Zhantian tampered with the barrier, making it able to conceal the secrets of heaven." Xiao Wencheng was right. True Man Qianhuan was the "heaven" of this cave. "The Heavenly Palace team hid in the lighthouse barrier, and the Yaksha army at the bottom of the lake lost its target and stopped coming out."
He Lingchuan heard the problem: "Yaksha doesn't listen to you?"
He felt a little contemptuous. The Yakshas launched a massive attack on the Tiangong team, exposing the fact that these things were controlled, but now the facts are further clarified, their real owner is Qian Huan, and everyone else ordered the Yakshas not to move.
Xiao Wencheng shook his head: "If it was just the Yaksha stopping the tide, we could still handle it, but——"
Afterwards, he talked about Bai Ziqi's shouting tactics in the lighthouse barrier, and then said: "After their nonsense, the morale of our sect has obviously dropped, and we have been pushed back a hundred feet by the Heavenly Palace."
He Lingchuan did not ask how much Bai Ziqi's words were right, and just said: "It is too difficult to prove yourself, there is no point in making excuses."
Although Xiao Wencheng downplayed it and did not repeat the original version, He Lingchuan was so smart that he understood it all after just a few words.
Why is the morale of the Huan Sect's disciples so low? Because Bai Ziqi's words can stir up the doubts in their hearts, making them think more and more.
The only words that came to He Lingchuan's mind were "you deserve it". Bai Ziqi was indeed the one who found the point of force very accurately.
Xiao Wencheng was deeply touched: "Yes, yes, that's the truth."
Dong Rui couldn't help but twist his mouth. The sect's decades of earnest teachings were no match for the enemy's half-minute lies. What was the reason? These immortal elders knew it clearly, right?
"The situation on the lakeside battlefield is difficult to reverse for the time being, so let's just hold on for now." He Lingchuan turned and pointed at the sand table, "Banqiu Lighthouse is the place we must fight for! Destroying this tower can temporarily change the situation!"
The main forces of Tiangong are all on the lakeside battlefield. He Lingchuan doesn't think fighting to the death is a good idea.
Therefore, Xiao Wencheng transferred more than 100 people from the lakeside battlefield to Banqiu. The terrain there was not as open as the lakeside, and the battle area was small, which was not suitable for large-scale combat.
As soon as the transfer order was issued, good news came from Banqiu:
Goddess Fenghe was killed by Elder Liu!
"Good, good!" Xiao Wencheng couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "Elder Liu is as mighty as ever!"
You know, there are now five immortals (including Aunt Zhu) in the Banqiu Lighthouse barrier. This lineup is even more luxurious than the lakeside battlefield, and the firepower is also extremely fierce.
Goddess Fenghe used the skin of Master Diyun and had been injured before, so her strength declined. The anger and attacks of the elders of the Huan Sect were directed at her first.
Being targeted by the concentrated fire of the five great immortals, Goddess Fenghe could not hold out for long. She did not even have time to retreat before she was blown into a handful of fireworks in the air by Elder Liu.
Including the support that Bai Ziqi dispatched later, there were only three masters left in the Banqiu barrier, while there were five in the Huanzong.
Moreover, although the goddess Fenghe was weaker before, her magic could cooperate with other demons to produce excellent results. Her fall has greatly reduced the defense capability of Banqiu Lighthouse.
On the Banqiu battlefield, the situation is improving.
At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and a cultivator from the Illusion Sect hurried back.
He Lingchuan remembered that this was Elder Xu's disciple, and he had never looked so panicked when he was in the square before.
"Master, Elder Jin died a heroic death!"
Xiao Wencheng's face turned pale: "What! What's going on..."
He Lingchuan spoke almost at the same time as him: "Where are the other two elders?"
With the death of Elder Jin, the pressure on the lakeside front became even greater, and quick deployment was required.
The disciple looked at him and then at Master Xiao, and opened his mouth, not knowing which question to answer first.
Logically, I should answer the headmaster first, but it seems...
Xiao Wencheng calmed down for a moment and asked, "What's the situation on the front line?"
"We have broken through the siege. Elder Xu is injured, but Elder Su is fine."
He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "What about the other side?"
"Yes, there is also a powerful person who is seriously injured."
It turned out that the morale of both sides was rising and falling, and the Huanzong team was beaten back step by step. At the critical moment, two great men of Tiangong who were fighting on the front line suddenly turned into rainbow light and flew to the north. It seemed that there was an accident at Banqiu Lighthouse and they were sent to rescue it.
Good opportunity! Elder Jin and others also knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so they immediately organized a wave of attacks, intending to destroy the lighthouse in one fell swoop.
Because the Huan Zong team was not very willing to attack, this time, the elders had to lead the way.
As long as we win, everything will be easy to talk about. Morale will be boosted and Bai Ziqi's lies will mean nothing.
But when they rushed to the bottom of the tower, they found that there were still three powerful people in the Heavenly Palace!
Moreover, Bai Ziqi released four huge beasts and three golden-armored generals in one breath, who suddenly launched an attack!
This is a complete trap.
It was too late for the elders of the Illusion Sect to retreat, as the Heavenly Palace team surrounded them.
After several failed attempts to charge the tower, Elder Xu had to give up the idea of continuing the attack and turned to break out. In the process, Elder Jin unfortunately died in battle.
Of course, he also severely injured an enemy before he died.
Because the lighthouse barrier blocked his vision, Hao Yuan Golden Mirror could not see the thrilling battles, and could only listen to the disciple's straightforward narration. But He Lingchuan believed that Bai Ziqi's dispatch must have contributed to this.
He couldn't help but press his forehead.
Regarding the lakeside front, he had repeatedly told several elders to just hold on and not to be greedy or reckless, because the main battlefield had already moved to Banqiu. As a result, the immortals of Huanzong could not resist the urge to step forward and make a big move in the face of the Tiangong's collusion, and ended up hitting a wall.
Maybe Bai Ziqi's fake moves were too real? Sigh, who really looked like a disciple of the mirage demon?
He Lingchuan also understood that this was not his own army after all, and if they did not obey the order, the execution of the order would be greatly reduced. As the saying goes, "orders from above are not smooth", if the orders are not smooth, it is not easy to win the battle.
"Then we still have two elders and a thousand disciples by the lake." He Lingchuan looked at the disciple who had delivered the message, and hesitated to speak.
Xiao Wencheng immediately asked his disciples to leave Wenhui Pavilion and wait, "Island Master He, please speak."
"Elder Jin has died, and the situation on the lakeside has changed. There are two countermeasures next." Time is tight, and He Lingchuan speaks quickly, "First, abandon the lakeside battlefield and concentrate all forces on Banqiu to destroy the lighthouse with all our strength. Because Tiangong's target is here--"
He stepped on the ground and said, "It initially built a lighthouse by the lake, firstly to gain a foothold, and secondly to consume your strength. Then it will gradually migrate to Shilong Peak. When the time comes, it will abandon the battlefield by the lake."
The Tiangong team originally planned to capture Shilong Mountain step by step under the cover of the lighthouse.
"Destroying the Banqiu Lighthouse means cutting off their path to the north. Their strength is greatly reduced, so it will not be easy for them to build another lighthouse."
He raised his second finger: "The second is to maintain the current situation. As long as we maintain the victory in Banqiu battlefield and the stability of the lakeside battlefield, we can continue to hold out against Tiangong."
Xiao Wencheng nodded. The options given by He Lingchuan were very clear. One was to destroy Banqiu Lighthouse with all one's strength, and the other was to maintain the current situation unchanged.
He Lingchuan continued, "But I suggest to Sect Leader Xiao that if your sect still has a backup plan, you should prepare it now."
"But!" He Lingchuan was about to say "but", "Tiangong is an invader and has no roots in the local area. Once they find that the situation is not going as expected, they will immediately adjust their strategy."
Who doesn't go to war to win? If you can't win, you have to find another way.
Xiao Wencheng's eyes flickered: "You mean..."
He Lingchuan said directly: "The entrance to the retreat place of Immortal Venerable Qianhuan is at Yaozi Lake, right?"
The last time they talked about this issue, He Lingchuan said that he just wanted to leave the Upside-Down Sea, and Xiao Wencheng didn't say much.
But as soon as He Lingchuan approached the glowing Yaozi Lake, the Divine Bone Necklace became extremely excited. So, he had some idea in his mind.
Xiao Wencheng's eyebrows moved slightly: "You know? That's where the Immortal Venerable is in seclusion, and it's also the only way to leave the Upside-Down Sea."
"I was at the mine and saw the demon bird from the Heavenly Palace carrying silver pearl fruit from Upside-Down Lake and throwing it into Yaozi Lake." He Lingchuan said, "The Heavenly Palace has discovered this secret and is also testing it. Once they find that the Lighthouse Tactic has little chance of winning, they will probably change their tactics."
Xiao Wencheng didn't respond.
The unusual movements of the bird demon in the Heavenly Palace were shown to him by the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror. He just didn't tell He Lingchuan and the others.
He Lingchuan paused for a moment. "The two countermeasures I gave you both aim to lead to the same consequence. The only difference is whether it is slow or fast. Sect Leader Xiao, the proposal I gave to your sect an hour ago is still valid."
He brought up the old subject again, but did not state it explicitly.
Xiao Wencheng understood and his eyes flashed slightly.
Previously, all the elders disagreed, so it was not implemented; now that time has passed and the Huan Sect has suffered heavy losses, that suggestion may be the only solution that can be implemented.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and the same goes for immortals.
Now, the voices against him should be small.
At this moment, the Haoyuan Golden Mirror flashed and the Spider Queen jumped out.
