Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15793 Doubt

After hearing Zhang Hongliang's words, everyone fell silent. They really couldn't believe what Zhang Hongliang said, but there was some truth to it. Their attack today was a test. Did the people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace not expect this? Of course they did. Could it be that they also had a backup plan? That was very possible. If it were them, they would definitely have a backup plan.

The man in black robes then spoke up: "How far beyond nine suns can their sea of ​​fire extend?"

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say right now, but expanding to about ten miles outside Jiuyang should be no problem, and it might even be further. The data we collected today is too little to make an accurate inference."

After hearing Zhang Hongliang's words, everyone could understand. After all, today's attack was not very long or intense. Under such circumstances, it was already quite remarkable that Zhang Hongliang could deduce these things.

The man in black robes looked at Zhang Hongliang and then said, "If we test them a few more times, won't we be able to see just how powerful their Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation really is?"

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "Their Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation is extremely complex. It is not an easy task to collect all the data on the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation and then find a way to break it. It will take a long time to do so, and it is best to go through several large-scale, high-intensity battles. Only in this way will the collected data be more accurate and we can truly find a way to break the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation."

The man in black nodded without saying anything more. He turned to look at everyone and then said, "That's all for today. Everyone go back and rest. We're going to attack the Nine Yang Immortal Palace tomorrow." Everyone responded and then dispersed. Zhang Hongliang naturally followed Nong Gufeng back to their area.

Just as Zhang Hongliang was about to return to his room, Nong Gufeng called out to him, "Zhang Hongliang, come to my room for a moment." Zhang Hongliang responded and followed Nong Gufeng to his room, which was very close to his.

Following Nong Gufeng into his room were two other Supreme Elders of the Azure Dragon Sect. The three of them entered the room and sat down directly in the living room, then all looked Zhang Hongliang over.

Zhang Hongliang stood in front of the three men, his expression somewhat unnatural under their gazes. However, he still stood there obediently. Then Nong Gufeng spoke up, "Hongliang, although you joined our sect later, I think the sect values ​​you highly. After this incident, the sect will definitely focus on cultivating you."

Zhang Hongliang immediately bowed to Nong Gufeng and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Nong Gufeng nodded, then looked at Zhang Hongliang and said, "Your array techniques are indeed very impressive. Today you actually saw through so many things about the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Array. Are you sure about all of these things?"

After listening to Nong Gufeng's words, Zhang Hongliang nodded and said, "Yes, Elder, I can confirm what you said today. These are all things I deduced based on the existing data, and they are almost certain. I didn't say anything that was uncertain."

Nong Gufeng nodded and said, "Very good. Don't tell them anything you're unsure about yet. Now tell me, what are some things you're not quite sure about?"

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "The power of the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation should be more than what it is now. Besides using the Nine Suns as the energy source of the formation, they should have other energy sources. The simplest one is that the disciples of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace input energy into the formation. This can be used as an energy source. Moreover, I think that today the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation was not manipulated by anyone. They just let the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation operate on its own, and it already has this kind of combat power. If someone really manipulated the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation, then the power of this formation would only be greater."

Nong Gufeng frowned and said, "He's this powerful even without anyone controlling him?"

Zhang Hongliang nodded and said, "Yes, it's this powerful even without anyone controlling it. If someone were to control it, the power of this formation would be even greater. A formation controlled by someone is completely different from one without. I can say with certainty that the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation hasn't even used one-tenth of its power yet." Upon hearing Zhang Hongliang's words, Nong Gufeng's expression turned somewhat grim. He said, "If that's really the case, then the Nine Suns Immortal Palace will truly be difficult to defeat."

Zhang Hongliang remained silent this time, because he knew that Nong Gufeng's words were not only directed at him. The other two Supreme Elders also had solemn expressions at this moment. After a long while, Shui Miao finally spoke up: "The Nine Yang Immortal Palace is so powerful, can we really break through them?"

After hearing his words, Nong Gufeng fell silent for a moment before speaking, "To be honest, it's really hard to say. The people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace dare to rely on their defensive array to hold this place to the death, so there must be a reason for it. Don't they know that this time we are being attacked by twenty-three sects together? But they did not choose to run away, but stayed to fight, which is enough to show their strength."

Upon hearing Nong Gufeng's words, both of them fell silent. Miao Fei then spoke up, "That makes sense. It seems that the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace are very confident in their Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation. Zhang Hongliang, let me ask you, how long will it take you to come up with a way to break the formation?"

Zhang Hongliang was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If it's an attack like today's, it will probably take one to two years to figure out a way to break the formation. Because the data that can be collected from a battle like today is actually very limited. If there are more battles and the intensity is higher, the speed may be faster, but even if it is faster, it will probably still take several months because this Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation is really complicated."

The group all nodded, their expressions turning solemn. They were acutely aware of the implications of Zhang Hongliang's words. If it truly took several months to gather sufficient evidence, it meant countless lives would be lost. An attack was no casual matter, and an attack like today's would likely only happen once. The skeletons were all magical artifacts belonging to the black-robed man. He couldn't keep using his own artifacts to test the Nine Yang Immortal Palace; that would result in too many losses. Therefore, the task of testing the Nine Yang Immortal Palace would fall to them in the future. Consequently, casualties were inevitable. This time, they had brought the elites of their respective sects to deal with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. If these elite disciples and elders died here, it would have a significant impact on their sects' strength.

That's why they had those expressions. After a while, Nong Gufeng waved his hand and said, "You can go now." Zhang Hongliang responded, then bowed to the three of them before leaving Nong Gufeng's room.

After Zhang Hongliang left Nong Gufeng's room, Nong Gufeng said to Shui Miao and Miao Fei, "Do you think Zhang Hongliang's words are credible?"

Shui Miao was taken aback by Nong Gufeng's words, then looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What? Don't you believe him?"

Nong Gufeng said in a deep voice, "After all, he just joined our Azure Dragon Sect from another sect. And don't forget, the Nine Yang Immortal Palace has a huge influence on the sects in this area. What if what he said is false? What if he is someone arranged by the Nine Yang Immortal Palace? That would be a disaster for us."

Miao Fei was taken aback by Nong Gufeng's words, then looked at him and said, "Really? Is that really the case? Could the Nine Yang Immortal Palace really think that far ahead? That's impossible, isn't it? And would the Nine Yang Immortal Palace really send someone like Zhang Hongliang, who understands formations so well? Wouldn't he be able to play a greater role if he stayed in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace?"

Nong Gufeng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. What is the current situation of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace? This battle is related to their life and death. Of course, they will use every method they can think of, just like this time. I think it is still very possible."

Miao Fei nodded in agreement with Nong Gufeng's words. Shui Miao then spoke up, "If we follow your logic, do you think Zhang Hongliang might be someone sent by the Hell Gate? The Hell Gate seems to be helping us deal with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but so far, although they've put in a lot of effort, it's mostly us who have contributed. What if the Hell Gate isn't just after the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but wants to establish themselves in this area? Then after they've dealt with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, our sects will become obstacles to their entry into this area. It won't be easy for them to enter. But if we fight the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to a standstill, the situation will be completely different. Wouldn't they be able to directly establish themselves in this area?"

Upon hearing Shui Miao's words, Nong Gufeng and Miao Fei were both stunned. Then their expressions changed. In their view, there was indeed such a possibility. If that were the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Nong Gufeng thought for a moment, then said, "There's no use in saying all this now. Let's wait and see. If Zhang Hongliang wasn't sent by either of those two sects, then it would be a great blessing for our Azure Dragon Sect. His array formation skills are unparalleled in my life, and a person with strong array formation skills is a tremendous help to a sect. If he can really break the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Array, then it will be a huge help to us, and it could even determine the outcome of the entire war."

Both of them nodded. Nong Gufeng then sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. We've already attacked the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and we've even fought with them today. The people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace have long held a grudge against us. We have no way out now. If we retreat, the Nine Yang Immortal Palace will definitely not let us go. At the same time, we've also offended the Hell Gate, and the Hell Gate will not let us go either. Don't forget, the Hell Gate is no less powerful than the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. If we offend both of these sects at the same time, then our sect will probably be finished."
