Aunt Jin was delighted to have gained two powerful reinforcents on their side, but at the sa ti, she was sowhat surprised. It was one thing for ng Zhang's Deep Earth Cultivation Base to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Building, but to also have Shocking Thunder, a mid-stage Foundation Building expert, join them was truly a pleasant surprise for the recently risen Taiyi Sect.
With the addition of these two strong allies, ng Zhang's confidence soared, and he decided not to wait any longer but to engage in a direct confrontation with Forest Spring Watch. After all, the enemy's Foundation Building cultivators numbered no more than ten, which was similar to their own forces.
In particular, Deep Earth Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General were once powerful individuals with Gold Core strength. Even if their power hadn't fully recovered, they couldn't be regarded as ordinary Foundation Building cultivators.
Even if they were to be outmatched, they could still retreat unscathed. Of course, despite his inflated confidence, ng Zhang didn't dare to launch an attack on the mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect. With the protection of their formidable mountain-guarding formation, Forest Spring Watch was already in an unbeatable position. Even if the strengths were evenly matched, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties before reaching the mountain-guarding formation.
If they were to fight, they needed to lure the enemy out. ng Zhang had a rough idea in mind and voiced it directly. "We have remained silent all this ti, and we have yet to openly confront Forest Spring Watch. We might as well send a transmission talisman, stating that we encountered a large group of demonic beasts while on our way to the mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect. We were trapped by the beasts and had to seek help from Daoist Guang Hui, requesting him to co and reinforce us as soon as possible."
As soon as ng Zhang finished speaking, Jin Wengbo imdiately dismissed his idea. "This approach is too childish and easily detectable. Guang Hui is not a fool; how could you deceive him so easily?"
"That's exactly what we want," ng Zhang replied with a smile. Aunt Jin pondered for a mont and had to admit that ng Zhang's idea had so rit. "I have known Guang Hui for many years and have so understanding of his character. He is cunning and resourceful, especially in battles with cultivators. He excels at using soft tactics to overco the strong and prefers to employ strategies rather than engage in direct combat with opponents of equal strength."
"After he sees through our little sche, he will most likely turn the tables and use his own plan against us." ng Zhang clapped his hands together. "This ti, we hope he falls into our trap. Regardless of his sche, as long as he leaves the mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect and fights us, we will have the advantage."
Aunt Jin understood ng Zhang's line of thinking and agreed with his idea. After so discussion, they formulated a rough plan. Having a basic plan was sufficient because, in the end, the outco would depend on the strength of both sides to determine the victor.
ng Zhang called back Yang Xueyi, and the two flying boats departed from the location, flying to a sand dune over two hundred li away from the mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect. ng Zhang then took out a transmission talisman, inputted the prepared request for assistance, and sent it off.
The transmission talisman transford into a streak of light and disappeared, flying towards the mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect. It didn't take long before Forest Spring Watch's Sect Master, Guang Hui Daoist, received the transmission talisman.At this mont, Guang Hui Daoist was sitting in the original main hall of the Golden Blade Sect. Two rows of Foundation Building cultivators sat below him, including Guang Hong Daoist, Guang Quan Daoist, Guang Rui Daoist, and Guang De Daoist from Forest Spring Watch, as well as Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo from Forest Mountain School. Azure Bamboo and Bamboo Sword from Green Bamboo Mountain were also present.
In this hall, there were a total of nine Foundation Building cultivators gathered. The ground of the hall was still stained with a large pool of blood left behind by Gu Tanghai and Shi Weida not long ago.
Guang Hui Daoist glanced at the content of the transmission talisman and couldn't help but laugh. "ng Zhang really thinks I'm a three-year-old child."
Seeing the curious looks from below, Guang Hui Daoist handed the transmission talisman to the others to read. "It seems that we can confirm that both Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect have discovered the trap we set here. They are bold enough to try and lure out the experts here. Do they think they can still set up an ambush outside and defeat us one by one?"
Guang De Daoist muttered suspiciously, "Strange, how did ng Zhang from Taiyi Sect see through our trap?" He cast a doubtful look at Azure Bamboo and Bamboo Sword, who had joined Forest Spring Watch due to their interests. However, Guang De Daoist had never fully trusted them. If it weren't for their betrayal of Gu Tanghai and Shi Weida, there would have been even more people in the hall who doubted them.
Azure Bamboo and Bamboo Sword noticed Guang De Daoist's suspicious gaze. Bamboo Sword snorted coldly and didn't bother to explain, while Azure Bamboo hurriedly said, "Guang Hui Sect Master, we have pledged our loyalty and have no ulterior motives."
"Rest assured, I trust you both completely," Guang Hui Daoist reassured them. He then glanced at the people below. "Azure Bamboo and Bamboo Sword have proven their loyalty. From now on, I won't allow anyone to doubt them without reason."
Guang Hui Daoist wasn't just putting on an act; he genuinely trusted Azure Bamboo and Bamboo Sword. Guang Hui Daoist was a person with many ideas, complex thoughts, and was very sensitive. A series of events that had occurred in the Endless Sea of Sand recently had aroused his suspicions.
First, Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze accompanied Fei Tian Daoist Master into the Demon Wind Gobi. Losing contact with Guang Zhi Daoist Master temporarily made Guang Hui Daoist uneasy. Then, Earthfire Sect and Land Walk Sect had an inexplicable dispute that escalated into a situation where the two factions were about to go to war.
Finally, the original territory of the Golden Blade Sect was invaded by a large number of demonic beasts. The source of these demonic beasts was likely from the Demon Wind Gobi. A series of seemingly unrelated events had triggered Guang Hui Daoist's sensitive nerves.
He had a vague feeling that sothing was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem lay. He turned his suspicious gaze towards Flying Swan Sect. Given the current situation in the Endless Sea of Sand, Flying Swan Sect posed the greatest threat to Forest Spring Watch.
After much deliberation, he chose Green Bamboo Mountain as a breakthrough point. The relationship between Green Bamboo Mountain and Flying Swan Sect made Flying Swan Sect trust Green Bamboo Mountain. If Flying Swan Sect had any actions nearby, they would most likely not bypass Green Bamboo Mountain.
On the surface, Green Bamboo Mountain appeared respectful, but they harbored great grievances towards Flying Swan Sect. Flying Swan Sect believed that Green Bamboo Mountain's sacrifices were taken for granted and had never considered the feelings of Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators or their interests.
Last ti, the four major sects defeated Green Bamboo Mountain and even reached the foot of Green Bamboo Mountain, but Flying Swan Sect had no reaction whatsoever. This showed that in Flying Swan Sect's eyes, Green Bamboo Mountain was dispensable and could be easily abandoned.
