Chapter 383 Coping Strategies
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen hurried all the way, and when they returned to the sect, it was already dusk. When they stepped into the mountain gate, the tense atmosphere in the air was as heavy as a haze. The disciples were in a hurry, with solemn faces, obviously knowing the crisis they were about to face. The two went straight to the Elders' Pavilion. On the way, Chu Mochen slightly turned sideways and looked at Yun Yao with a firm gaze: "Yao'er, this crisis is not a trivial matter, we need to take a long-term view." Yun Yao nodded slightly, with an equally determined look: "Brother Chen, I understand, we must not let that evil force succeed."
In the Elders' Pavilion, candlelight flickered, and several elders had already gathered. The head of the sect sat at the head, looking worried but dignified. When he saw the two people come in, he raised his hand to signal them to take a seat. After everyone was seated, the head of the sect spoke first: "Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, did you get any accurate information during your trip? This evil force is coming with great force, and we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
Yun Yao stood up and told them what they had found out: "Master, we have found out that this evil force covets our cultivation results and wants to seize our spiritual power to strengthen itself. They have been planning for a long time and are now ready to act. According to our estimation, they may launch a surprise attack on our sect within a few days."
Hearing this, the elders looked even more solemn and discussed. A white-haired elder frowned and said, "What should we do? Since they dare to have such a plan, they must be very powerful. Although our sect has a deep foundation, we can't take it lightly."
Another middle-aged elder immediately said, "This force is quite hidden. We know very little about their specific strength and personnel composition. If we act rashly, there may be risks."
Chu Mochen stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "What the elders said is very true, but I think that if we just defend blindly, we will only be passive. Since this evil force dares to attack, it must be well prepared. We are in the open, and they are in the dark. If we defend, they will inevitably find the flaws. It is better to take the initiative to attack and catch them off guard."
After these words came out, the pavilion fell silent for a while, and everyone was thinking about his words. After a moment, the head of the sect nodded slightly: "What nephew Chu said makes sense, but it is not easy to take the initiative to attack. How should we plan to ensure that there will be no mistakes?"
Yun Yao said, "Master, when we went out this time, we not only found out their conspiracy, but also discovered the location of one of their strongholds. Although the stronghold must be well defended, if we can plan carefully, we may have a chance." She took out a crudely drawn map from her storage bag and spread it on the table. "This is the approximate location of the stronghold and the surrounding terrain. In my opinion, we can send people to pretend to attack and lure them out. When their main force is dispatched, we will send elite troops to attack from the rear and hit them directly. We will beat them so hard that they can't take care of both ends."
The elders gathered around, carefully examining the map and asking questions from time to time, which Yun Yao and Chu Mochen answered one by one. After a heated discussion, a preliminary plan gradually took shape.
First, several elders who are good at hiding their auras led a group of elite disciples to lurk around the stronghold in advance, hiding their bodies and waiting for the opportunity. They are responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat at the critical moment to prevent any fish from escaping. At the same time, if the battle ahead is tight, they can also provide support at any time.
Secondly, select a group of disciples who are good at illusion and deception to form a vanguard. Their task is to pretend to attack, create a huge momentum, attract the enemy's attention, and make the enemy mistakenly believe that the sect has come out in full force, so as to transfer the main force out of the stronghold. This team of disciples must be flexible and evacuate quickly once the enemy sees through the plan to avoid too many casualties.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen led the most elite forces in the sect as the main attack force. After the vanguard led out the enemy's main force, they attacked from the rear where the enemy's defense was weakest. With the powerful strength of the two Yuanying realm and the cooperation of the elite disciples, they strived to break through the core of the stronghold in one fell swoop, kill the enemy leader, destroy their command system, and make the entire evil force leaderless.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the elders decided to open the sect's treasury and take out the magic weapons and powerful spells that had been treasured for many years. Some of these magic weapons can release powerful attack spells, some can form a defensive shield to resist the enemy's attack, and the spells can play an unexpected effect at a critical moment, either trapping the enemy or enhancing one's own strength.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, the sect also arranged for logistics disciples to prepare sufficient healing pills and pills to restore spiritual power. Once the battle starts, casualties are inevitable, and timely treatment is crucial. Only by ensuring the fighting power of the disciples can we win in this tough battle.
After the plan was agreed upon, everyone discussed many details. For example, how to transmit signals between the vanguard and the main attack force to ensure tacit cooperation; how to hide the aura of the lurking elders and disciples so as not to be detected by the enemy; how to respond if an emergency occurs during the battle, etc. Every link was repeatedly scrutinized to ensure that it was watertight.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already late at night. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked out of the Elders' Pavilion and looked up. The night sky was full of twinkling stars, but they had no appreciation in their hearts. They only felt solemn about the upcoming battle. Chu Mochen gently held Yun Yao's hand and whispered, "Yao'er, this battle is extremely dangerous. Are you afraid?"
Yun Yao held his hand in reverse, shook her head slightly, and said firmly: "Brother Chen, I am not afraid as long as you are by my side. Moreover, this concerns the survival of the sect, and we have no choice but to do it. I only hope that after this battle, the sect can return to peace."
Chu Mochen gently held her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "It will be so. We also need to intensify our training in the next few days, adjust our state, and greet the battle in the best posture."
In the following days, the sect was busy. The disciples practiced day and night, familiarized themselves with tactics, and improved their coordination. The workshop responsible for manufacturing weapons and equipment was brightly lit, and the craftsmen worked overtime to build and repair magic weapons and talismans. The logistics disciples ran around, collecting medicinal materials and refining elixirs.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not idle either. They practiced in seclusion in the training room every day to consolidate their realm and familiarize themselves with the newly acquired skills. At the same time, the two of them exchanged experiences from time to time and discussed how to better exert each other's strengths and cooperate with teammates in battle. After each training session, they would come to the martial arts field to practice tactics with the disciples, point out the shortcomings, and improve them.
As time went by, the shadow of the war grew heavier, but it also made the entire sect more united. The disciples no longer laughed and played as they did in the past, and their eyes were full of determination and resoluteness. They knew that this battle was not only for themselves, but also to protect the sect's heritage and the peace of the cultivation world.
Finally, the day of the planned action arrived. In the early morning, before the sun had completely penetrated the clouds, the sect square was already crowded with people. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were dressed in tight clothes, carrying long swords on their backs, standing at the front of the team with stern expressions. Behind them were the elite disciples who were ready to go. They were dressed in uniform, holding sharp blades, with spiritual power surging, exuding an indomitable momentum.
The head of the sect came forward, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Dear disciples, today's battle is about the survival of the sect, and about the justice and peace of the cultivation world. I believe that each of you is the pride of the sect, and you will definitely be able to exert your strongest strength in this battle and return triumphantly! Let's go!"
Following the order from the headmaster, the team marched towards the stronghold of the evil forces. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other with determination in their eyes, then turned around and led the disciples into the unknown battlefield. A thrilling battle began...
