Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 187 Attack on Four Passes

Yuanshi looked at Nuwa and Laozi with scrutiny.

This angered Nuwa: "What do you mean? Do you want to bring trouble upon us?"

"Hmph, it could be you, me, or my elder brother who killed the disciples of Jie Religion and put the blame on the Western Religion, but I know it wasn't me!" Yuanshi said righteously.

The main thing is that he really didn't do it, and of course he didn't feel guilty at all. He really wanted to know who ruined his good thing.

Anger surged in Laozi's eyes. He had obediently sent his disciples to Jiameng Pass according to the rules. All seven disciples died together with the Four Saints of Jiulong Island. In this conspiracy, he was the most innocent one.

"Enough, the most important thing now is how to deal with Jiejiao. Do you still want to create internal strife and division at this time?" Laozi said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

I am the eldest brother and have two top-level innate treasures, making me invincible. My prestige among the Six Saints of Heaven is quite high.

As soon as Laozi got angry, the other three Yuanshis dared not quarrel anymore.

"This matter was caused by the Chan sect, so it is the Chan sect that should take the lead!" said Zhunti.

Anyone who has reached the Golden Immortal stage has consumed a huge amount of resources. With the combined efforts of the four sects, they can definitely defeat the Jie Sect.

The key is how to minimize the losses to one's own sect.

"Humph, you think you can be sure with just one sentence. You said that it was my sect that did it. Show me the evidence!"

Of course Yuanshi would not let the Chan sect take the lead. Whoever takes the lead will surely suffer the heaviest casualties.

Zhunti could not refute it. The divine will was in chaos and he could not deduce it. He really could not produce any evidence.

But he was at least 70% sure that it was Yuanshi who did it. This was Yuanshi's style.

Seeing that Zhunti had nothing to say, Yuanshi directed his criticism at Nuwa: "The demon race has the most Quasi-Saints and Daluo Jinxians, so it is only right that the demon race should take the lead."

Nuwa was of course not happy either, so they started arguing again.

"That's enough. You all want to take advantage. What will you get from arguing like this?"

"Yuanshi, go and ask Tongtian and Lingxiao to come and discuss. Have them set up defenses at Jiameng Pass, Jiepai Pass, Qinglong Pass, and Chuanyun Pass. We will attack them. Each sect will be responsible for attacking one pass."

I spoke up angrily to take charge of the situation.

This is indeed the fairest way. All the saints remained silent, and Yuanshi went to invite Tongtian and Lingxiao over.

I stated my proposal.

"can!"

Tongtian and Lingxiao agreed readily.

Lingxiao doesn't care, but Tongtian is very confident in his disciples.

Jiejiao has the most core disciples, and the four religions combined do not have much more than Jiejiao.

With the help of Jinwu's disciples, he was very confident.

The next step is to decide which sect will attack which level.

No one wanted to go into battle first, for fear that Jiejiao and Jinwu would concentrate their strongest forces to defend Jiameng Pass, and whoever attacked Jiameng Pass would suffer a great loss.

The Five Saints started arguing again.

Finally, it was Ling Xiao who came up with the idea, asking each of the four sects to send a disciple to seal their spiritual consciousness and draw lots, relying on luck.

Ling Xiao carved the names of the four levels on four bamboo sticks. Each of the four sects sent out a disciple to seal their spiritual consciousness so that they could not be detected. At the same time, they were blindfolded to prevent the Five Saints from cheating by making eye contact.

In the end, Yuanshi's face turned black, and the Chan Sect was chosen to attack Jiameng Pass.

Given his grudge with Tongtian, Tongtian would definitely deploy heavy troops to guard Jiameng Pass and try to kill him.

"Everyone, for the sake of fairness, after going back to make some arrangements, go to the Heavenly Palace and use the Haotian Mirror to watch the battle. Each sect's disciples will rely on their own abilities, and no one should interfere."

Ling Xiao suggested.

This is the fairest thing to do. No one can find any reason to object and they have to agree.

Then, Ling Xiao and Tong Tian went to Jin'ao Island together. Ling Xiao called all the disciples of Jinwu over to discuss how to deploy the troops. "The Chan Sect has the most deputy leaders and is the strongest, followed by the Demon Sect, the Western Sect, and the Guiyi Sect. Let's talk about how to deploy the troops." Tong Tian said.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, for safety's sake, let the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal stay at Penglai Immortal Mountain."

Ling Xiao sent a message to Tongtian. He didn’t know whether the Chang’er Dingguang Immortal had been bribed by Zhunti, but in order to be absolutely sure, he had to do so.

Tongtian didn’t know why Lingxiao always suspected Chang’er Dingguangxian, but Lingxiao didn’t suspect anyone else and just stared at Chang’er Dingguangxian. He must have discovered something.

Although he trusted his disciple very much, one wrong step would mean eternal damnation for Jiejiao, so he had to be cautious.

"Chang Er, follow me. I have something to tell you."

Tongtian said something, rolled up the long-eared Dingguangxian and left, and came back alone not long after.

The disciples of Jiejiao did not think much about it and just thought that their master had assigned some important secret mission to Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

"Tell me, how do we deploy our troops?"

Tongtian returned to the main seat and asked.

"The four sects are selfish and want to take advantage. They all want to preserve their strength as much as possible. That's why they decided that each of the four sects is responsible for attacking a level, and no one wants to put in more effort."

"This is our chance. We are the one who should take on the challenge, but they have already made their decision and we haven't. So the initiative is on our side."

"We have the biggest grudge against the Chan Sect and the Western Sect. The Chan Sect and the Western Sect are attacking the first two levels. We might as well focus on dealing with the Chan Sect and the Western Sect and let go of the last two levels. We can symbolically send weaker disciples to defend the last two levels, and then abandon the levels and retreat when a fight breaks out."

"Anyway, there are still three passes behind us: Tongguan, Lintongguan and Mianchi County. They can't reach Chaoge directly in one go."

Yang Jian stood up and told his plan.

"That's good. I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"..."

Yang Jian's tactics were always recognized by everyone.

Tongtian looked at Lingxiao with envy, wondering how come the disciples of Jinwu were so outstanding.

"Okay, then let's divide it up. Yang Jian, tell me how to arrange it." Ling Xiao smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Chan Sect has many deputy leaders, but the Western Sect has two saints. They will definitely send out their three corpses, which means there will be a total of six quasi-saints at the peak, plus the five sacred beasts. They will be a greater threat than the Chan Sect."

"Among us, my master is the strongest. He must be stationed at the Boundary Pass to deal with the Western Sect."

"Jiameng Pass can be guarded by our Jinwu Sect as the main force. Except for my master, all of them will be stationed at Jiameng Pass."

"I don't know much about Jiejiao's strength, so it's hard to make arrangements."

Yang Jian said.

"Well, in addition to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Immortal Killing Formation, the strongest one in Jiejiao is the Seven Stars Formation that kills evil spirits accompanying the Seven Immortals. Duobao, you will take Chang'er's place and set up the Seven Stars Formation."

"Next are the Ten Absolute Formations, the Five Spirit Formations, the Nine Palaces Heaven and Earth Formations, and the Eight Directions Yin and Yang Formations."

"There are many deputy leaders of the Chan Sect. If we let the Ten Heavenly Lords and the Five Spiritual Saints stay at Jiameng Pass to assist, we can at least trap five deputy leaders of the Chan Sect."

Tongtian arranged the way.

"Yes, Master."

The Ten Heavenly Lords and the Five Spirit Mothers responded.

"Lü Yue, you stay at Qinglong Pass and deal with the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult has the most members. Even if you give up Qinglong Pass, you will not let the Demon Cult have an easy time."

Tongtian continued to arrange.
