Chapter 2280: Chapter 2259: Counterasures
The first wave of pioneers dispatched by each sect consisted of ten people in total. Considering the potential danger, all were at the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. After making preparations, these ten individuals rose swiftly and, in an extre mont, traversed the space passage to Earth.
Looking at the dozens of large cauldrons wrapped in layers of formations, they were quite troubled, but the mission had to be completed. Thinking of this, the ten people imdiately drew their respective weapons and charged toward the defensive array.
However, before they could even reach the edge of the defensive array, suddenly more than a dozen elders flew out from it. To their amazent, all these elders were actually Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses. They couldn’t understand how this was possible. How could there be Earth Immortal Realm individuals on Earth? What was going on?
Just as they were in a daze, these twenty-so elders had surrounded them. Faced with such a situation, they couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, "What exactly are these people thinking?" Only in the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, how could they do anything to us, who are in the middle stage?
But they never dread that when these twenty-so elders made a move, they were instantly suppressed without any ability to counter. Within less than the ti it takes to brew a cup of tea, five among them had been killed. Seeing this situation, these middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses all ran away in an instant, completely disregarding the bodies of their five slain comrades!
"Search the space bags on those bodies and return!" Xu Tianhong imdiately instructed the others. Watching the five middle-stage Earth Immortal individuals who had fled, he sneered coldly, "With such strength, they still wish to invade Earth? What a huge joke!"
Several elders rushed to the bodies, retrieved the space bags, and then imdiately returned to the defensive array.
Upon returning inside the defensive array, the mbers of the Holy Wind Sect erupted in cheers. The victory of the Inner Pavilion Elders was a great on. Recalling the previous battle results, a sense of fighting spirit surged in everyone’s hearts. The people of the Immortal Realm weren’t so terrifying after all. In less than the ti it takes to brew a cup of tea, five middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses had been slain. Such strength was enough to intimidate the opponents!
Moreover, most importantly, the Inner Pavilion Elders also brought back the space bags from those five people, which contained many miraculous elixirs and even so dharma treasures, making the mbers of the Holy Wind Sect even happier.
"Everyone, calm down for a mont. The Immortal Realm isn’t so easy to deal with. This ti, we won due to the opponent being unprepared, catching them off guard. If my estimation is correct, the Immortal Realm’s next attack won’t be so easy. We must be on guard against this." As everyone rejoiced, Xia Yuntian said earnestly. He needed to remind everyone not to underestimate the enemy, or the Holy Wind Sect would suffer greatly.
"Vice Sect Master Yuntian is right. We can’t just be happy; we need to consider the aftermath. If they sent ten middle-stage Earth Immortal individuals this ti, what if they send twenty or thirty next ti? What will we do then? We need to anticipate these possibilities and keep a clear mind," Ding Wan’er said to everyone at this mont. With Lin Feng not around, she couldn’t allow anything to happen to the Holy Wind Sect.
The joy in everyone’s hearts disappeared in an instant upon hearing this. They had to admit that Xia Yuntian and Ding Wan’er made sense. These situations could indeed occur. With Lin Feng not present, they could only rely on themselves, allowing no unexpected incidents. After all, the current strength disparity between the Holy Wind Sect and the Immortal Realm was significant. They had to consider every eventuality and be prepared.
"Let’s discuss the first issue. If they send twenty middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses, how do we respond?"
"The Inner Pavilion Elders can handle fifteen people, but more would be challenging."
"We sisters can take care of the other five."
"Alright, we’ll settle on that for now. But what if they send thirty middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses?"
"The Inner Pavilion Elders still handle fifteen people..."
"We sisters can manage about eight!"
"What about the remaining enemies?"
"Vice Sect Master, what if we use lasers to deal with the rest?"
...
Afterward, the mbers of the Holy Wind Sect enthusiastically discussed all possible scenarios. The power of the people is great, and as such, through dialogue, they formulated a strategy for facing the invading force from the Immortal Realm.
Coincidentally, on the other side, the Immortal Realm invading army was also discussing how to solve the problems on Earth.
"This matter is indeed strange. How could there be more than twenty Earth Immortal Realm individuals on Earth? Logically, it shouldn’t be possible," an elder expressed his opinion, feeling there was a problem, yet unable to pinpoint it. With Earth’s Spiritual Energy being so scarce, it’s impossible to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm; how could more than twenty Earth Immortal Realm individuals suddenly appear?
"It is indeed strange, but the fact is right before us, and we must find a way to respond," another elder added. In his opinion, although the situation was peculiar, it was already a fact, and there was no point dwelling on this issue.
"Another issue: these twenty-so Earth Immortal early-stage individuals overwhelmingly suppressed our team of strong Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses. Do you think this is normal?" another elder remarked.
"It’s abnormal, at least typically. Generally, Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses shouldn’t manage such feats. Who isn’t aware of the gap between the middle and early stages of the Earth Immortal Realm? Even for their respective sects, it would be hard to achieve."
"Indeed, I’m puzzled by why these individuals are so strong."
"Yes, in reality, Earth’s situation isn’t as simple as we thought."
"Is it possible that these individuals have a Special Technique to enhance their strength?"
"I think it seems unlikely. Given the state of Spiritual Energy on Earth, how can there be Secret Techniques?"
...
In the hall, over a dozen powerhouses who had been inford were responding to each other, all utterly puzzled. They couldn’t understand why the situation turned out this way. Even the five who returned alive couldn’t comprehend it. Despite clearly being stronger than their opponents, they couldn’t win, leaving them utterly baffled.
While everyone was puzzled, an elder who had never spoken finally spoke up: "Could it be that the other side mastered so Combined Attack Formation?"
Upon hearing this elder’s words, the other elders suddenly slapped their foreheads as they finally realized it was possible. However, the problem was that such Combined Attack Formations were almost extinct. Even in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, there were no more than five sets known. How did they master one?
"How likely is this?"
"We’ll know if we try, won’t we?"
"Indeed, this ti let’s send out ten more people, not to harm the enemy but to find out the specifics."
"I think it’s feasible!"
...
Thus, the elders concluded and decided to send another ten middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses to test the waters and determine whether the opponents had a Combined Attack Formation, so they could develop future combat strategies. In the end, even Xiao Tianrong agreed with this proposal. In the face of the unknown, a little caution isn’t wrong.
With the plan set, they selected another ten middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses, who once again charged through the space passage to the Holy Wind Sect’s side.
Following the previous routine, they drew their weapons to feign an attack. The Holy Wind Sect’s more than twenty elders indeed flew out, and without a word, both sides engaged in battle. This ti, the fight lasted more than half a two-hour period before they drove the opponents away.
After returning to the base with the Inner Pavilion Elders, Xu Tianhong smiled at Xia Yuntian and said, "This fight was truly frustrating, but they should have fallen for it. Next ti, we’ll trap them big ti!"
"The only concern is if they don’t fall for it. Thank you to all the Inner Pavilion Elders for your hard work!" Xia Yuntian, upon hearing Xu Tianhong’s words, smiled and then invited the elders to rest...
Looking at the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, Xia Yuntian’s face bore a smug smile as he murmured to himself, "People of the Immortal Realm, I’ve prepared a big gift for you. Let’s see if you can swallow it..."
...
The ten middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses reported back to the Immortal Realm, truthfully recounting their combat experiences. They didn’t perceive the opponents as extrely formidable. If anything, the opponents cooperated slightly better. Apart from that, there were no traces of a Combined Attack Formation, leaving them perplexed.
When inford of these combat results, Xiao Tianrong and the others were montarily confused by the situation, sensing sothing was amiss, yet unable to pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"Perhaps we’re being too cautious. If ten middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses can’t do it, let’s send twenty; if twenty can’t, then thirty. If we send thirty middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses, even if the other side has a Combined Attack Formation, it won’t matter, right?"
After deliberation, an elder dressed in black said to Xiao Tianrong that, in his view, the caution was perhaps excessive. As he suggested, faced with absolute strength, what could a Combined Attack Formation do?
The mont this elder’s words reached their ears, everyone was enlightened. They felt the elder made sense. If they dispatched thirty middle-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses, Earth likely couldn’t withstand it.
Settling on this decision, Xiao Tianrong also agreed. He even started to doubt whether he was too cautious. However, he also couldn’t let his guard down with Lin Feng!
