Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 912: Decisive Battle and Different Calculations

They soon reached the fifth floor, where there happened to be a private room that had just been vacated. Although it was a bit low, it was just right for the old Taoist's foundation-building period.

The private room was not big, but it was clean inside. The old Taoist was very satisfied after seeing it and immediately paid the spirit stones.

After the waiter left, he walked to the window alone, looked deeply at a palace area in the center of Beixuan City, and his eyes suddenly closed slightly, as if he was sensing something.

It was not until a moment later that the old Taoist opened his eyes again, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"It can actually block my spiritual sense, interesting!" The old Taoist was naturally no other than Mo Juren who came all the way from Tianxing City to Beixuan Island. In order to make the hunting operation more smooth and to prevent accidents, he made some disguise in advance.

After the defeat on Huangyue Island, there was varying degrees of panic within the Anti-Star Alliance, and the alliance leaders Liudao and Wan Sangu had to rush to the headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

This matter was not a secret, and Xinggong naturally got the information at the first time. After learning about the situation, Mo Juren also set off immediately and rushed to Beixuan Island at high speed.

His targets this time were Liudao and Wan Sangu, two late Nascent Soul masters. Although his strength was enough to kill any one of them easily, he could not be careless if he wanted to get rid of both of them.

Both of them are cunning and sensitive to life and death crises. Their means of saving their own lives are first-class. The slightest negligence may alert the enemy, making it easy to kill one but let the other escape, making it difficult to find the other again.

Therefore, before taking action, you need to carefully explore and find the right time.

……

Beixuan City has a radius of more than two hundred miles. Although it cannot be compared with a behemoth like Tianxing City, it is one of the best cities among the many cities in the inland sea.

In the central area of ​​the city, there is a group of palaces built, which is the real headquarters of the Anti-Star Alliance.

This place is covered by a super large formation, which is extremely powerful in defense, attack, and shielding against spiritual consciousness, and has extremely high security.

A special pass token is required to enter and exit the formation, otherwise you will not be able to pass.

At this moment, inside the headquarters, in a side hall, two figures, a man and a woman, were sitting opposite each other.

The man looked to be around forty years old, wearing a loose black robe, and there was a hint of evil in his handsome face.

He has long black hair that is casually draped behind him, a high nose bridge, crystal clear skin, and his eyes are flashing with endless murderous intent.

The woman opposite also looked middle-aged, but her appearance could only be described as pretty. However, her skin was as white as jade, her hair was as long as a waterfall, and she was wearing a gorgeous dress. Combined with her icy temperament, she had a unique charm.

These two people are none other than the real leaders of the Anti-Star Alliance, Six Paths Supreme Sage and Wan Sangu.

The two of them sat opposite each other, taking a sip of tea from time to time, but no one spoke, making the entire hall eerily quiet.

  After an unknown amount of time, until the entire pot of spiritual tea was finished, Liu Dao finally took the initiative to speak:

"There are too many suspicious points in this battle on Huangyue Island. My side of the Demonic Path has made every effort to investigate, but unfortunately there is nothing to be gained. Do you have any clues?"

  "In addition to the power in the open, the Star Palace has also secretly cultivated a group of monks. These people were dispatched in the previous battles on the other four star islands besides Huangyue Island." Wan Sangu shook her head slightly and continued,

"As for other aspects, the righteous side also doesn't know much."

“I can guess this even without checking. After all, our Anti-Star Alliance also has forces that are secretly cultivated. How could a force like the Star Palace not have any?

  What is really important is the situation on Huangyue Island. So many Yuanying-stage masters were annihilated, and not a single Yuanying escaped. This is too abnormal. "Liu Dao sighed, and then changed the subject.

"My nephew Wan Tianming also died in the last battle on Huangyue Island. It was really sad and lamentable."

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. Maybe tomorrow is the end of your life, and you can't blame others." When mentioning her own nephew, the hatred in Aunt Wan San's heart soared to the sky.

Wan Tianming is a genius of the Wan family. He is one of the best in terms of aptitude and character among the cultivators of the same level. He has been vigorously cultivated by his family since he was young, and his cultivation has increased rapidly. He is also regarded by her as the successor.

The affection between the two was self-evident. They were not mother and son, but they were very much like mother and son. How could she not hate him when she heard that he had died? She wanted to go to Xinggong immediately to avenge her nephew.

"The death of your nephew is indeed regrettable, but fellow Daoist must not be swayed by hatred. We need to consider everything in the long term." Feeling the other party's overwhelming hatred, Liudao hurriedly tried to persuade him.

  "Is it too late to make a long-term plan?" Wan Sangu sneered.

"With the situation developing to this point, do you really think it's a good idea to continue delaying it?"

"This..." Liu Dao was stunned for a moment, and after some thought, he sighed.

"To be honest, ever since the sudden appearance of the Fairy Liaoqing, I have felt a little uneasy in my heart. Until the battle of Huangyue Island, that feeling has become stronger. It seems that the situation has gradually begun to get out of control and is rapidly evolving in an unknown direction. We really can't delay any longer."

"There is no turning back now. No matter how the situation develops, we can only go this way to the end." Wan Sangu's eyes were cold and her tone was grim.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wan?" Liudao's eyes flashed.

  "Decisive battle!" Wan Sangu was filled with murderous aura.

"Since the situation is getting out of control, we must act as soon as possible. Although we dispatched a considerable force last time, it was divided into five routes, with Huangyue Island as the main force and the other four islands as feint attacks, which dispersed the force. There is no need to play tricks. We will mobilize most of the forces and attack Huangyue Island directly. You and I will accompany us and take charge. I don't believe we can't take it down.

Huangyue Island is located in a very important geographical location. Once it is captured, the connection between the remaining four star islands and Tianxing City will be directly cut off, and they will become lambs to be slaughtered. "

"I know what you said, but the previous battle on Huangyue Island was really incredible. Wouldn't it be too risky to act rashly before figuring out the situation?

In addition, Fellow Daoist Wan, don't forget that Xinggong now has three Yuanying late-stage masters in charge. Even if we capture five islands, we still can't do anything about Tianxing City." Liudao frowned, obviously disagreeing with the other party's plan.

  "Who said we have to capture Tianxing City? The five islands are enough." Wan Sangu laughed.

"As long as we capture these five star islands, the Star Palace will be completely reduced to an isolated city in this inner sea. The two old fellows of the Twin Saints cannot leave, so we just need to trap them. One of us will be responsible for staying behind, and the other will go to the outer sea to remove the islands controlled by the Star Palace one by one. In this way, why should we worry about not achieving the final victory?"

  "This..." Liu Dao thought about it, then shook his head slightly.

"It is indeed feasible in theory, but how can things go so smoothly? In such a large-scale decisive battle, the top powerhouses can certainly play a key role, but they are not omnipotent. If they really fight to the death, both sides will inevitably end up losing. If the overseas demons take advantage of the situation and invade, the human race will be in danger."

  "I never thought that as the leader of the demon sect, you have such a loving side. I admire you." Wan Sangu laughed, but her words were obviously mocking.

"Let's not talk about whether the demons from the outer sea will take advantage of our situation and come in. Even if they do come, what will happen? Given the current situation of the demons, even if we are seriously injured, they may not be our opponents.

I think Brother Dao should still remember that unknown incident in the past caused the offshore dragon clan to suffer unimaginable damage, and then they were constantly suppressed by the Suanni royal family, which was a heavy loss.

The dispute between the two royal families has further weakened the overall strength of the demon race. Now that they are unable to take care of themselves, how can they have the strength to go to war with the human race?"

"That's true, but it's just speculation after all. What if the Jiaolong clan and the Suanni royal clan give up and make peace? How should we respond then?"

"Since ancient times, there has been an irreconcilable hatred between the Jiaolong clan and the Suanni royal family, which has continued to this day. Do you think it is possible for them to stop fighting and make peace with each other?" Aunt Wan San sneered again.

"This..." Liudao thought about it and it seemed really unlikely. The hatred between the two royal families was really too great, so great that it could not be resolved at all.

Another point is that there are now two level ten monsters in the outer sea monster clan, one is the Golden Dragon King of the dragon clan, and the other is the old Suanni.

The former is fine, as he is now in his prime, but the old Suanni is not so good. He doesn’t have much life left and doesn’t even have the ability to go out and fight.

In this way, the strength of the outer sea monsters is indeed not a concern.

  "There is also the battle on Huangyue Island. Although it is a little strange, with our strength, plus the full deployment of the Anti-Star Alliance, what danger can there be?" Seeing that the other party was ready to move, Wan Sangu struck while the iron was hot.

"Wealth and honor are sought through risk, and it is worth taking some risks at the right time. If we don't do this, and still do small-scale operations like before, wouldn't it be a tactic of adding fuel to the fire?

Or is it that the failure last time scared you, brother? If that's the case, then we shouldn't discuss this here. Wouldn't it be easier to just disband the Anti-Star Alliance and surrender to the Xinggong?"

"I was only hesitant out of caution. I hope Fellow Daoist Wan won't think too much about it." Liudao could hear the provocation in the other party's words, and he didn't get angry. Instead, he expressed his apology with a smile.

"I'm not angry. I can understand that you have always been cautious in your actions, but in this situation, we have no choice. As the saying goes, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. At this important moment that concerns life and death, you must not be indecisive." Wan Sangu continued to persuade him earnestly.

  "Fellow Daoist Wan is swift and decisive. I admire him." Liu Dao nodded slightly.

"Well, let's do as you said. You and I should hurry up and prepare, and we will march directly to Huangyue Island soon. As for the actions after we capture the five star islands, it won't be too late to discuss it then."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave." Wan Sangu understood what the other party meant and did not refute. She immediately stood up and said goodbye and left.

After a moment, making sure that he had gone far away, Liu Dao looked directly at the corner of the hall and said calmly, "He's gone, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a brocade robe and a tall crown walked in slowly. He was about thirty years old, with a handsome and gentle appearance, and there seemed to be a golden glow between his eyebrows.

"Master!" The young man strode forward and bowed respectfully to Liudao.

"You heard what was said just now. Do you have any opinion on it?" Liudao asked indifferently.

  "Wan Sangu is eager for revenge, so she can't wait to have a decisive battle with Xinggong. As for the action plan she proposed, it is a bit unrealistic." The young man shook his head slightly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

“Let’s not talk about the righteousness of the human race for now, let’s just talk about the Star Palace. It has been able to stand in the Chaos Star Sea for tens of thousands of years. How could it be so easily overthrown?

I think that Master, you have always adopted a steady and cautious strategy, gradually eroding the opponent's strength, and this is also your consideration. If you act rashly, you may suffer heavy losses if you make a mistake. "

  "You have such insight, you are worthy of being my disciple." Liu Dao smiled slightly and continued,

"Xinggong is indeed not that easy to deal with. The previous defeat of Huangyue Island is enough to prove it. In addition to the power on the surface, how much is hidden in the dark is still unknown. If we really fight to the death, even if we can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory, which is really not worth the loss.

With the current strength of the demon clan, they may not be able to take advantage of the situation, but nothing in the world is immutable. What if a level ten demon suddenly appears?

  This is not impossible. Just like the Star Palace before, who could have thought that a fairy of love would suddenly appear?

If the demons invade and our human race is defeated, the end result will be genocide. In that case, what is the meaning of everything we have done before?"

"Since Master has such concerns, why didn't he just reject Wan Sangu's proposal?" The young man was stunned. By now he had realized that Master might have other intentions.

  "Why would you refuse?" Liu Dao laughed.

"At least the first half of her plan is feasible. If we can remove the last five star islands, our Anti-Star Alliance will dominate the Inland Sea in the future. The population, resources, etc. will all belong to us. Why not do it?

Moreover, once this plan succeeds, Tianxing City will be completely reduced to an isolated city in the inner sea, which will inevitably be a huge blow to the hearts of all the cultivators in the Star Palace.

As for whether we should continue, we can test it step by step. What if the blow is too great and they have internal strife? Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. As long as we realize that it is impossible to do anything, we will stop immediately and continue to stalemate with the other party. It won't affect anything."

  "Master, you have a keen eye. I was not thoughtful enough." The young man suddenly realized something and continued,

"In that case, I will prepare immediately, so that Aunt Wan San won't have any objections."

"Go." Liudao smiled and waved his hand. When the other party also left the hall, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a trace of inexplicable ferocity that disappeared in a flash.
