Chapter 214 The Secret Plan Of The Twelve Strategies Of The Steadiness Sutra
Why did Master Zhao and Master Huang Long sneak out of the hiding place?
Fortunately, Li Changshou was not completely at ease with Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long. Although most of his attention was focused on the battle in the South Ocean, he was still focused on the movements of the two experts who were his trump cards.
Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long had just emerged from the cave in the deserted island. Before they could use their mystical abilities to escape, a paper effigy that Li Changshou had hidden in the seawater immediately appeared.
It was an ordinary fish. It drew a parabola in the air and produced a few drops of crystal water...
The fish exploded and turned into a kind-looking immortal. It then landed in front of the two Dao Sect experts.
“Seniors, why did you suddenly come out?”
Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long looked at each other. Just as the latter was about to speak, the former coughed and said with a smile, “It’s a little stuffy inside. Let’s go out and take a look... However, Brother Sea God, your hiding technique is impressive. You actually deceived me and Senior Brother Huang Long.”
Uh, the two of you clearly did not investigate!
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I did not intend to hide. This incarnation had already arrived here a few months ago.
However, it had been using the shape-shifting technique to transform into a fish and swam with the fishes every day. Perhaps, he had accidentally deceived the two of you...
Senior, is there something urgent? Or did you discover something?”
“No, nothing’s wrong. I just came out to take a breather. Umm, you can go ahead and get busy with what you have to.”
Zhao Gongming waved his hand and pulled Perfected Huang Long into the cave. Li Changshou was puzzled.
They added on to the confusing behaviors of the experts of the three sects.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy was no longer hiding.
He bowed to the cave with a Dao salute and held his horsetail whisk. He sat cross-legged behind a reef and used the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra and the illusion technique to minimize the possibility of him being discovered.
He had divided his attention and placed them in too many places, and it was indeed not enough. He could not be bothered to tell Uncle Zhao and Perfected Huang Long too much.
The war in the South Ocean was about to blow up.
The enemies had started to show up near the East Ocean. However, the other party was very cunning. The spies planted by the dragons still did not get anything.
Apart from the South Ocean and the East Ocean, Li Changshou also wanted to leave a portion of his “foundation” mental energy for his master and junior sister...
Eliminate all possibilities of being attacked!
He was worried that the Western Sect would stir up trouble. He also had to pay attention to a few places in the East Ocean and the South Ocean Sect that were more prone to risks...
After calculating and adding everything up, Li Changshou realized that he had too many things to pay attention to.
“Ah...”
There was no such thing as coming up with strategies and making decisions about everything. It was just throwing out a bunch of paper effigies...
It was still rather peaceful in the East Ocean. The second wave of experts who had rushed to the South Ocean Dragon Palace had already arrived.
The joyous atmosphere of the dragon race wedding was naturally affected.
The guests were also puzzled. They did not know why the usually weak deep-sea demons would be so bold as to attack the Dragon Palace.
The immortals from Jie School who were currently in the Dragon Palace were already prepared to help Ao Yi.
They were not afraid of blowing things up. The bigger the commotion, the more experts from Jie School would have to intervene. Anyway, they had the Immortal Vanquishing Sword Array to support them. As long as they were right, there was no need to be afraid!
There were less than four hours to go before Ao Yi’s wedding. After thinking about it, Ao Yi decided to look for the elder with the highest seniority in the dragon race, to suggest that he delay his wedding by a day. Today, the dragon race would go all out to eliminate all the enemies that had invaded the South Ocean Dragon Palace.
In the end, Ao Yi was reprimanded by the elder of the dragon race who told Ao Yi to do what he had to do today.
Ao Yi wanted to complain to his Brother Sect Master and ask for a strategy, but he was pulled away by his own brother, Ao Jia, who then brought him to touch up his makeup...
Compared to Ao Yi, who had a strong sense of responsibility, the handsome and tall Crown Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Jia, appeared to be a little heartless.
Ao Jia smiled and said, “Silly little brother, don’t worry anymore. Our dragon race has come from ancient times. We have experienced countless calamities of various sizes and have remained standing! You and I have not fully mastered our abilities yet. Don’t worry about this.”
Ao Yi was speechless.
As expected, he felt that his Brother Sect Master was a hundred times more reliable than his own brother.
No, ten thousand times!
In six hours, more than a hundred thousand people had died in the South Ocean Dragon Palace.
When the battle had just begun, three mysterious armies had ambushed the South Ocean Dragon Palace.
The South Ocean Dragon Palace, which had been prepared for that, immediately retracted its defensive formation. It relied on the array formations at the bottom of the sea to block the enemy and mobilized its army to surround the enemies.
The two parties surrounded and attacked each other, and continued doing so back and forth...
In the sea area within thousands of kilometers around the South Ocean Dragon Palace, the number of casualties amongst the seafood was immeasurable!
The surging ocean surface was already filled with many rare... delicious ingredients.
For example, a thousand-foot-long squid, a nine-foot-long lobster, a huge crab the size of a tree’s crown...
Due to the intense battle in the ocean, balls of True Flames and fire would often appear. The flames that could not be extinguished by ordinary seawater would continuously rise, be roasted directly, or heat up the seawater, and slowly bring it to boil...
The crab shell quickly turned red...
If Xiong Lingli were to see that situation, she would definitely cry and dig up the soil to bury them. Li Changshou could not help much in the battle in the South Ocean.
Although there were many casualties on the other side, it was only a secondary stage. The main highlight was still in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Li Changshou used the paper effigy that he had prepared beforehand to observe the battle in the South Ocean for half a day. He gradually had a thought.
The West probably prepared a few big plans this time and chose the right time to use them.
Regardless of which member of the Western Sect was in charge of that matter, he had to get some returns since he had already invested so much into it.
The Western Sect’s goal was to scare the dragon race and subdue them.
At that moment, Li Changshou could already confirm that the Western Sect really did not care about the casualties. They wanted to give the South Ocean Dragon Palace a huge blow and use the Sea Clan’s rebel army to create a pressure to force the King of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, who was also the dragon race leader to swallow his pride and succumb.
If that is the case... the Western Saint’s disciple must be near the East Ocean. When necessary, he would appear and come to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to show off the Saint’s authority.
Li Changshou placed his hand on his forehead and pondered carefully.
The Great Daoist Master could sense that Li Changshou’s mind was working at full speed. He did not disturb Li Changshou and merely waited with a smile.
Not long after, Li Changshou said, “Great Daoist Master...”
“Huh?”
“No, I haven’t considered everything thoroughly.” Li Changshou smiled apologetically and continued to think.
The Great Daoist Master did not bother about it. He merely nodded with a smile and pinched his fingers to calculate.
This time, the Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows and pointed at the crystal mirror. “Changshou, look here.” Li Changshou looked up and saw huge figures sliding across the pitch-black ocean. They looked like huge octopuses.
The Great Daoist Master said calmly, “This place is less than fifty thousand kilometers away from the East Ocean Dragon Palace. The other party’s timing is exceptionally accurate. It’s the time when the wedding is about to begin.
What is the detailed situation in the South Ocean now?”
“The situation in the South Ocean is in a deadlock. I don’t know what happened to the Western Sect this time.” Li Changshou frowned and continued, “Logically speaking, the best solution is to lure them away. After that, they will immediately retreat and continue to attack and disrupt. However, this time, more than thirty percent of the demonic soldiers and ferocious beasts that the Western Sect had gathered had died. The dragon race’s reinforcements had already rushed over, but they still did not retreat. This is indeed very confusing for me.”
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and smiled. “It’s that twelfth-grade golden lotus.”
“I don’t understand.”
“The twelfth-grade golden lotus that the Western Sect is suppressing should be reaching its limit soon. It can’t protect so many evil demons and beasts with negative karma.”
The Great Daoist Master patiently explained in detail, “The subordinates from the Western Sect who went to the South Sea must have deliberately died there. If the lives of these subordinates are exchanged for the loyalty of the dragon race, the Western Sect would naturally win. If they fail this time, they will only lose some of their pawns and relieve the pressure of the twelfth-grade golden lotus. In all, they will not lose out too much.”
Li Changshou could not help but be stunned. He immediately stood up and bowed. He said, “I have yet to consider this. Thank you for enlightening me, Great Daoist Master.”
The Great Mage waved his hand and smiled. “You don’t have to blame yourself. Your cultivation level is limited. It’s reasonable that you can’t see anything. The two people from the Western Sect don’t like to be taken advantage of.”
Li Changshou nodded and immediately reorganized his plans. He also considered the twelfth-grade golden lotus and other important elements.
It did not have a great effect...
The Great Daoist Master continued to cast spells, revealing traces of the enemies who had ambushed the East Ocean Dragon Palace...
There were twelve armies!
They attacked the South Ocean Sect and were suppressing the East Ocean. The Western Sect was really scheming!
Li Changshou waited quietly for a moment. When the twelve Sea Clan rebels were 15,000 kilometers away from the Dragon Palace, they were discovered by the Dragon Palace.
At that moment, the war drums in the East Ocean rumbled. The prawns, crabs, and Immortal Flood Dragon troops that had been lying in ambush rushed out from various places to block the enemies.
Almost at the same time, a huge battle broke out in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
In the East Ocean Dragon Palace, a few generals rushed out and transferred a portion of the troops stationed near the Dragon Palace away to the place where the battle was more intense.
In just an hour, the East Ocean Dragon Palace was faintly surrounded by the enemy’s army. Waves were surging and the sky changed!
The guests in the Dragon Palace looked worried.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sat firmly on his throne. The wedding was still going to proceed as usual.
Right now, the members of the dragon race were particularly calm, as if they had countless tricks up their sleeves.
As bystanders, Master Xuan Du and Li Changshou would always be the first to discover the ‘dangers’ that appeared near the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
In the remote corner of the Crystal Palace, the Great Daoist Master cast another spell. A few blurry figures appeared in the mirror.
The Great Daoist Master let out a soft snort. Two rays of green light flashed past his eyes. The blurry disguises of the in the mirror disappeared, revealing their true faces. It was a mystical ability known as the Real Disappearance Of Disguise! They were four old men, each exuding a shockingly domineering aura.
The location they appeared was less than 2,500 kilometers away from the East Ocean Dragon Palace. They had bypassed the outer battle!
A fat Daoist with a robust build opened the pocket on his back. Streams of light flew out and transformed into figures that quickly got into a battle formation.
Another lanky Daoist who had his eyes closed threw the pagoda in his hand forward. Streams of light flew out from the pagoda...
The four of them carried the treasures of the universe and sacrificed their treasures at the same time. They summoned hundreds of thousands of demons and Sea Clan troops. They were the elites of the Sea Clan’s rebel army and the Deep-sea Demon Clan!
At that moment, one side of the universe was suddenly cut open. A six-winged golden cicada emerged. Behind it, dozens of figures flew out...
Daoist Wen Jing was among the six people in front!
At that moment, the concealment techniques on them were all seen through by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and presented in the mirror...
Xuan Du frowned and said in a low voice, “The Western Sect has actually raised so many vicious disciples. These two Uncle-Masters are really unscrupulous in pulling the Western Sect up.” Li Changshou smiled.
“Changshou, why are you smiling?”
“I’m just relieved...”
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “The entire plot of the Western Sect should be like this. They first used the South Ocean Dragon Palace as bait to lure more than half of the dragon race’s experts away. Then, they used the twelve troops in the periphery to attack, preventing the Dragon race’s elites from escaping. Now, they are using the Universal Treasures and the Cosmic Spells to bypass the outer battlefield and attack the dragon race. They suppressed the dragon race within a short period of time...”
Simply put, the arrangements made by the other party did not exceed his imagination.
However, Li Changshou hesitated for a moment and did not dare to be arrogant.
He merely said, “Although this train of thought is clever, it is not considered a surprise in common sense. I’m afraid that they won’t play according to the rules. That would be the hardest to deal with.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “Then, tell me, how should we resolve this situation?”
“Great Daoist Master, you are testing me again.”
Li Changshou looked at the numerous figures in the mirror and quickly answered, “The main point of this situation is to defend and delay. The East Ocean Dragon Palace has to stay strong during this battle. Other than that, they also have to think of a way to stall the Western Sect disciples who would fly over from the west. They had put in so much effort just for the last scene of ‘rescuing’. I suggest that we give them a solution. If we let the disciples of the Saints from the Western Sect unable to go to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, this situation will be resolved.”
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du pinched his fingers and quickly nodded with a smile.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go and meet the disciples of those two Uncle-Masters.”
“Great Daoist Master, it’s best that you don’t reveal yourself. The situation is not out of control yet.”
Li Changshou hurriedly continued, “May I ask you to deduce the approximate location of the disciples of the Western Sect? I will invite an expert who specializes in suppressing the disciples of the Western Sect to make a trip there. It should not be a problem to stall them for one to four hours.”
“Good.”
The Great Daoist Master did not say anything. The image of the Taiji Painting appeared in his palm. He closed his eyes and began to deduce quietly. At that moment, Li Changshou also noticed that among the incoming enemies, the six-foot-long golden cicada that had cut through the universe had suddenly left the ambushing army and headed deeper into the deep sea.
Indeed, the other party did not want to let go of the dragon race’s fatal weakness...
“Found it.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du opened his eyes quickly. “There are a total of six people on a cloud above the East Continent. They are slowly heading towards the East Ocean.”
“Alright.” Li Changshou immediately agreed. He closed his eyes and focused on the paper effigy on the deserted island.
The paper effigy that was disguised as an immortal immediately stood up and carried his horsetail whisk towards the cave.
This time, Master Zhao was really there.
How could a hero be useless?
