Qingxuan and the others looked even more grim. Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and said, "Give me a straight answer. If they really use this kind of formation to deal with us, can they break through our defensive formation in one strike?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "Even if they can't break through our defensive formation with one strike, they can launch a second one. If they can preserve most of the Creation Golden Wheel's power, then they have a way to make the sword formation release sword energy multiple times in a short period of time, which our defensive formation cannot withstand."

Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and said, "Then are we really without any way to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? Are we just supposed to let them attack us?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "There really isn't a good way to stop their attack. The only method I can think of right now is to monitor the underground, and not just ordinary monitoring, but deeper monitoring. In addition, we must also monitor the surrounding sky. Only in this way can we detect them in advance. As long as we can detect them in advance, we can prepare in advance and then we can take action. As long as we can block their magic array in advance, that will be enough."

Qingxuan frowned, and the other sect leaders all frowned as well. This was indeed a method, but it was not an easy task to implement. Qingxuan asked, "If we really want to use this method, how deep underground do we need to monitor?"

Wen Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but the other party is using the Creation Golden Wheel and the Three Mountains Sword. So the underground depth we need to monitor must be at least three to five hundred meters. But how to monitor such a deep depth is a problem."

The crowd fell silent once again. Indeed, how to monitor such a deep depth was a real problem. If they used people to monitor it, how far could a person's mental power detect at such a depth? Not to mention that underground, the soil would block mental power, so mental power simply couldn't detect very far. If they didn't use people, then what could they use?

Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and asked, "Is there any way to detect their magic array?"

Wen Jing thought for a moment, then said, "Speaking of methods, there really is one, but I don't know if it will work. Actually, the method is very simple. We can forge an iron rod and then insert it directly into the ground. The longer the iron rod, the better. And every so often, there is a magic array on the iron rod. This magic array can be a ground listening array. The effect of this kind of magic array is not very large. It can only be used to listen to underground sounds, and the range is not very large. So if we want to use this method, we need to forge a lot of iron rods. It would be best to surround the entire area around our sect. Moreover, this kind of iron rod is very easy to forge. It can be just an ordinary iron rod. We just need to engrave the ground listening array on the iron rod. The ground listening array does not require energy. It just amplifies the underground sounds. However, in this way, we must send people on the surface to watch those iron rods. They must report immediately if there is any sound. Only in this way can we detect the enemy. Of course, this method is just one I came up with. Whether it will work or not is not certain."

Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "It sounds like it's reliable, and almost all sects can use this method, so why don't we give it a try? If it's just an ordinary iron rod, then it's very simple to forge. This is indeed the simplest method."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. This was indeed the simplest method, and each sect could refine it themselves, which was very important. After all, there were too many sects in the Divine Kingdom. If only one or two sects could refine this iron rod, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would have attacked all the sects before the iron rod was even made.

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and said, "This is the simplest and possibly most effective method I can think of. If this method doesn't work, then I have no other choice. At the same time, we still need to hurry up and find the talent pool of the Myriad Laws Sect, otherwise we can only passively take a beating."

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan said, "Alright, everyone go back now. Go back immediately to prepare these iron rods. Only in this way can we discover the formation of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect in advance. I won't waste any more of your time. By the way, what Sect Master Wen said earlier is right. We must hurry up and find the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Otherwise, we will always be in a passive position, which is not acceptable."

Everyone nodded, then stood up, bid farewell to Qingxuan, and left Tianxuan Sect. After all, they were all from major sects and needed to return immediately to prepare for the iron rods. The sooner they had the iron rods ready, the sooner they could ensure their safety, which was the most important thing.

After the sect leaders returned, they immediately informed the other sects in their alliance. Among these sects were those controlled by the Blood Slaughter Sect, which naturally received the news as well. Chang Jun, upon receiving the message, immediately relayed it to Xu Ying. Xu Ying was taken aback upon hearing this, then frowned. He summoned Liu Yi to his room and said, "Elder Liu, I just received news that those sects have devised a method: they've inserted a long iron rod into the ground at one end, engraved with a geo-listening array to monitor the underground and hear our movements. Do you think this method will be effective?"

Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, Liu Yi raised an eyebrow and then said in a deep voice, "The person who came up with this method must be a smart person, and someone who understands magic arrays very well. Although his method is very simple, it is very effective. As long as the iron rods they make are long enough, they will definitely discover our attempt to approach those sects from underground, and they won't have a good solution."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying frowned. Liu Yi, seeing his expression, smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? When we attack those sects, we're not aiming to inflict significant damage on them. We're just trying to attract everyone's attention. So even if we can't defeat those sects, it doesn't matter. Besides, to be honest, even if we don't attack them from underground, we can still put immense pressure on them. Isn't that better? Furthermore, the next time we attack them, we'll pretend we don't know about their actions. So even if they come up with this method, it doesn't seem to have much impact on our plans, right?"

Xu Ying was taken aback, then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're right, that's exactly right. Okay, then we'll attack them using this method next time. Even if the effect isn't very good, we'll accept it."

Liu Yi nodded and then said, "Don't underestimate the Xu Tu Yuan Magnetic Sword Formation. Even if we can't launch a surprise attack on them, this sword formation alone is enough to give them trouble. Moreover, we can take advantage of the fact that they haven't finished setting up those iron rods to attack a few more of their sects and put more pressure on them."

Xu Ying nodded, and then he immediately invited the other elders over and told them about the current situation. After the elders heard Xu Ying's plan, they immediately agreed to it and began to prepare for action.

In the following days, they attacked several smaller sects in succession. These smaller sects were not too far from the Five Spirits Sect. They were not able to stop their attacks and were all easily wiped out. The territories of those smaller sects were taken over by other sects and turned into branch halls of those larger sects.

Meanwhile, the various sects also stepped up their efforts to forge iron rods. Forging iron rods was actually quite simple. For any sect, whether large or small, forging iron rods was very easy. As for magic arrays, they were not difficult either. The Earth Listening Array was not a remarkable array; it was a very simple array. Almost anyone who knew arrays could create this one, making it even easier to inscribe. The so-called Earth Listening Array was like an underground sound amplifier, designed to amplify underground sounds so that people on the surface could hear them. Such an array was naturally very easy to set up, so the production of iron rods by the various sects proceeded very smoothly.

Of course, the length of the iron rods forged by different sects is also different. Some small sects forge iron rods that are generally around 300 meters long, while some large sects, such as the Tianxuan Sect, forge iron rods that are generally around 500 meters long.

About half a month passed in this way. Xu Ying and his group had already wiped out five minor sects, and the iron rods of each sect had all been installed. These iron rods were all inserted into the ground, and they also arranged for people to guard the iron rods, just in case they couldn't hear the sound.

Xu Ying and his group knew that the iron rods of the various sects had already been deployed, and they also knew that they would have to prepare for a fierce battle when they attacked those sects next time. They couldn't afford not to attack, because if they didn't, it would mean that they knew about the sects' actions. Then the sect alliance would know that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect could know their movements, and they would guess that someone in the alliance had leaked information. If they really investigated, they might easily find out the problem. In any case, Xu Ying and his group couldn't let the sect alliance suspect that there were problems within their ranks. Otherwise, they might discover Chang Jun's actions. If the sect alliance discovered Chang Jun's actions because of them, they would become the sinners. Therefore, Xu Ying and his group had to pretend not to know about the sects' actions, which was actually quite difficult.

Xu Ying and the others were ready, so their operation began again. Xu Ying glanced at Liu Yi and then said, "Elder Liu, it's up to you this time. Don't let them see any flaws."

Liu Yi nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've got it covered, there won't be any problems." (End of Chapter)
