Chapter 406: Chapter 405 Gathering Montum
After the situation was reversed, Gongsun Chou spoke to Ye Fan with so lingering fear. "It’s a good thing you arrived in ti. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would have been the ones massacred by the Mo Sect today!"
Ye Fan said, "My army is on its way. This ti, we will annihilate the insignificant Mo Sect in one fell swoop!"
Ye Fan had, in fact, planned this a month ago, but the Mo Sect Poison Miasma had always been a problem. Now was the perfect ti to strike.
"Good! My Gongsun Family and Fla Valley will fight alongside you to the very end!" Gongsun Chou said decisively.
"Grandfather, I must go this ti!" Gongsun Shengheng imdiately declared.
Gongsun Chou glanced at Gongsun Shengheng, then said, "You should wait. We can discuss this another ti!" Without a doubt, he had refused him.
"Why?" Gongsun Shengheng said, dissatisfied. He hadn’t expected his grandfather to refuse him. This was his chance to mature. He might not be of much help, but he could still grow through the experience.
Ye Fan patted Gongsun Shengheng’s shoulder and said, "Your ancestor is right. Sotis, impulsiveness is not the best way to prove courage. You have a long road ahead of you, and your future path of battle will surely be extraordinary!"
"But—" Gongsun Shengheng truly had nothing more to say.
As for Liu Ruyan, she knew Ye Fan would never let her go, so she didn’t bother asking.
The army arrived that night. The warriors from Heavenly King Hall were all elites. Veterans like Nangong were present; thanks to Ye Fan’s help, his strength was now extraordinary. He had advanced from the Emperor Level and was now half-step into Supre. Black Fog had also reached half-step into the Emperor Level. He had decent talent and a fanatical dedication to the Martial Arts, so his breakthrough was to be expected. Duan Lang, for whom Ye Fan had high hopes, had smoothly advanced to the King Level. Tian Can and Di Que’s aptitudes were slightly inferior. They had not yet stepped into the King Level, but they were close; a few more battles, and they would surely break through.
Ye Fan was very satisfied. Heavenly King Hall was growing stronger and stronger, which was an excellent thing. However, he had other preparations this ti that he hadn’t revealed yet, and he didn’t plan to. The best trump cards were always saved for last. This ti was no exception; his real plan was still waiting in the wings. Whether it would be needed or not depended on the situation.
Gongsun Chou, an Emperor Level master—though not a high-ranked one—led the mbers of the Gongsun Family and the disciples from Fla Valley to set out.
But in Ye Fan’s view, he should be more than enough to deal with a re Mo Sect.
The army set off overnight.
「Three days later.」
They arrived in the Bashu Mountains, now close to the Mo Sect Headquarters.
At that point, Ye Fan turned to Tian Can and asked, "What does the intelligence say?" He suspected other powers might get involved in this war, so he had placed special emphasis on intelligence gathering.
Tian Can replied, "Chief, rest assured. Everyone knows that Heavenly King Hall is about to engage the Mo Sect in battle. Until a victor erges, no power dares to place a bet on either side!"
Ye Fan nodded. The previous intervention by Zhuang Zhou had taught him a valuable lesson: there is always soone stronger, a higher heaven beyond the sky.
Then, Ye Fan looked at the natural barrier of the Bashu Mountains. Indeed, even with the poison miasma diminished, the Bashu Mountains were still an insurmountable obstacle. This unique natural advantage made him realize why the Mo Sect was so arrogant, yet no other power dared to challenge them. Their poison was one reason, but the location of their headquarters was another.
Ye Fan asked again, "Are the tools for crossing the Shu Road ready?"
Black Fog replied, "They are ready. We’ve requisitioned over a dozen helicopters, which should be sufficient."
This was the power of modern civilization. While humans and even ordinary Martial Artists could not climb this Shu Road, fabled to be more difficult than ascending to heaven, modern technology could bridge the gap. Nowadays, Heavenly King Hall was a massive organization with vast resources. Mobilizing a dozen helicopters on short notice was a simple matter.
Ye Fan said, "Good. Very good. We’ll ascend the Bashu Mountain Road, rest for the night, and attack the Mo Sect tomorrow. Let the arrogant Mo Sect learn the might of Heavenly King Hall!"
"Yes!" Black Fog imdiately nodded and went to make the preparations.
Soon, ten helicopters began transporting the troops up. As Ye Fan set foot in the Bashu Mountains, he did not let his guard down and imdiately ordered his subordinates to scout ahead. The helicopters continued to ferry the rest of the forces. Although they had successfully scaled the Shu Road, this also ant they were entering the Mo Sect’s surveillance zone. From this point on, every move they made would put them on the defensive.
When night fell, Ye Fan was wide awake. At his level of cultivation, he no longer required sleep. Even going four or five days without it wouldn’t affect his spirit or stamina in the slightest.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the woods. The Heavenly King Hall’s Martial Artists were on high alert. In the clearing outside the forest, a thousand ters from their campsite, a swarm of poisonous insects advanced rapidly under the moonlight.
"Prepare the chemical agents!" Black Fog barked.
Instantly, his n readied nurous chemical sprays and powders. When unleashed, the agents and powders killed the poisonous insects in droves, but their numbers were simply too great to control at once.
"Incendiary grenades!" Ye Fan imdiately roared.
The Martial Artists hurled incendiary grenades, imdiately setting the swarm of poisonous insects ablaze. The air filled with a crackling sound and a foul stench. It was a ghastly scene.
Ye Fan said, "It seems the Mo Sect has already made its move."
Luckily, they had co fully prepared and suffered no casualties from the Mo Sect’s tactic. But he knew they couldn’t just keep reacting like this; it wasn’t a viable solution. For this reason, he summoned his top commanders.
He said, "The Mo Sect has certainly prepared many traps, just waiting for us to walk into them. Therefore, we must scrap our original plan!"
"What should we do then?" Nangong asked him.
Ye Fan replied, "It’s actually quite simple. We split up to minimize the damage. We have superior numbers, so there is nothing to fear! They cannot possibly wipe out any single one of our teams!
"Nangong, you lead two hundred n and attack from the right!
"Black Fog, you and Gongsun Chou take two hundred n and attack from the left!
"I will lead two hundred n and attack from the center. Although our three groups will act separately, we must not stray too far from one another. We need to be able to reinforce each other within half an hour at most! This way, whatever traps they’ve prepared will be rendered completely useless!"
At this mont, Ye Fan was clearly demonstrating his talent for command. After all, to confront a top-tier power, relying on individual strength alone was not feasible. He also needed to maximize his command over the allied forces of Heavenly King Hall and Fla Valley, using their overwhelming montum to conquer their opponent.
