Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 708 Choosing to Stay
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"However, there are a few disadvantages to going back now. I wonder if you seniors would be willing to hear them?"
"harm?"
Cao Wu asked bluntly, "What harm could there be in going back now?"
"Yes, isn't this the perfect moment?"
Everyone was filled with doubt.
Yu Changsheng held up one finger and said, "First, how will the Second Elder react once he learns that the Black and White Mixed Yuan has been killed by us?"
"They must be extremely angry, and even willing to pay a huge price to besiege us."
"Where will the Second Elder ambush us? He will probably do as you all expect, by attacking us on our way back."
"They might even directly attack Sanling Town, forcing us to go back and provide support."
"If we go back now, we will have truly fallen into the Second Elder's trap."
"At that time, we will be at a disadvantage, and the initiative will turn into a passive one. Only if we stay here and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on other places will we be able to succeed."
"Only by maintaining our initiative can we force the Second Elder to return to our aid as soon as possible, thus securing a favorable position for us."
The others also suddenly realized that Yu Changsheng's idea was correct.
If we really take this opportunity to go back, we'll return to Sanling Town.
That would be truly dangerous if the Second Elder personally led his men to attack.
Du Xingcai asked worriedly, "What about Sanling Town? What if the Second Elder really attacks Sanling Town as you predicted?"
"With the resources of Sanling Town alone, it will be difficult to resist."
Yu Changsheng said, "That's easy to handle, there are only two ways."
"Either Elder Wu leads the people of Sanling Town to temporarily avoid the enemy's advance, or Elder San sends additional reinforcements."
"However, the second possibility is unlikely. After all, for the Third Elder, the battle on the front lines is more important. In comparison, Sanling Town can be sacrificed."
"Therefore, it would be best to have Elder Wu and his men hide for the time being, and to raise the defense of Sanling Town to the highest level, so as to use this illusion to deceive the Second Elder."
"When the Second Elder actually attacks Sanling Town, he will find that Sanling Town is now practically a ghost town."
Du Xingcai also thought it made a lot of sense. "Alright, I'll send the communication jade slip to Elder Wu right away."
Du Xingcai was also worried that someone in his family might be killed, so he immediately told the relevant people to go into hiding.
Cao Wuman said, "You just gave your first reason, which is indeed good, but that alone doesn't seem to be enough to convince everyone. What is your second point?"
Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "This second point is naturally even more important."
"If we leave now, it will certainly be a great achievement. But in terms of the overall situation, our contribution is actually not that significant."
"If the Third Elder really defeats the Second Elder, then those on the main battlefield will be the greater heroes. When the Third Elder takes over the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, I will only get a small share of the spoils."
"But if we can persevere and capture the Second Elder's sacred ground, the outcome will be completely different!"
"The Holy Land is the most important city for an elder! And at this moment, the Second Elder's Holy Land is at its weakest."
"With our strength, taking it down is not impossible!"
"As long as we can achieve victory, even if our contribution is not the greatest, it will still be among the top! When the Third Elder rewards us according to our merits, we will be able to secure a place, instead of just getting a few scraps."
Cao Wuman remained silent for a while after hearing this, carefully considering it.
The others were also persuaded by Yu Changsheng's words.
This is indeed what they value more.
Although the harvest was good this time, it was only in terms of material resources.
For the few Nascent Soul cultivators, their influence within the Sea Beast Heavenly Island did not change much.
But once we take over the Holy Land, everything will be completely different.
Yu Changsheng slowly said, "Do you know what your thoughts are now? Whether you're going or staying?"
This is indeed a difficult decision.
Originally, everyone was inclined to leave, but after Yu Changsheng's persuasion, they began to waver.
Cao Wuman was also somewhat tempted at this moment. Although he had gained a lot of benefits from this trip, he was not entirely unmoved.
But what he wanted was far more than that.
"Okay, I'll stay!"
Soon, Cao Wuman made a decision and was the first to agree to stay.
Yunshangqing nodded in agreement, "Alright, since Yu Changsheng has said so, I will naturally stay as well."
Qian Shizai nodded and said, "So what if we took some risks? As long as it succeeds, it's worth it! Let's stay!"
Thus, the three Nascent Soul cultivators sent by the Third Elder to provide support all agreed.
Chen Xueqing never expressed her opinion from the beginning, but she always chose to support Yu Changsheng.
The reason why the form has not been filled out yet is that they want to see what Cao Wuman and the other two think.
Now that Cao Wuman and the other two have agreed to stay, it is only natural that she should stay as well.
As for Lin Hai, there was no surprise, since he only considered Chen Xueqing's opinion.
Thus, only Du Xingcai remained hesitant.
Although Du Xingcai was very interested in plundering these cities, he also had more concerns than others.
"Hehe, Miss Du, what are you hesitating for? We've succeeded so many times already, this last time will naturally be no exception!"
"Besides, that old scoundrel Wang Donghai would never have imagined that we would dare to attack his sacred ground at a time like this!"
Qian Shizai immediately began to persuade him.
After some hesitation, Du Xingcai finally made up his mind and nodded, saying:
"Okay, I'll join too!"
In this way, everyone finally reached a consensus.
Yu Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Alright, now that everyone has made their decision, I'd like to talk about the plans for the future!"
Cao Wu nodded and said, "That's right, we do need to prepare for what's to come. What are you planning to do? Attack the Holy Land directly?"
"Although that old bastard Wang Donghai may not have expected us to attack the Holy Land directly, Fire Valley is too close to the Holy Land after all, so Wang Donghai is very likely to take precautions."
"It could be quite dangerous if he figured out our intentions."
The others nodded in agreement; this concern was indeed valid.
It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, they are risking their lives by launching a direct attack, which is obviously not a good idea.
Yu Changsheng naturally understood this principle, and he had already prepared a countermeasure from the very beginning.
"What Senior Cao said is certainly correct. Therefore, I think we should hide for a while before launching a direct attack."
"During this period, we must also transform all the resources we have obtained along the way into strength, whether it is to strengthen magic weapons, improve our own cultivation, or refine pills."
"In short, we must be fully prepared."
"Furthermore, the advantage of concealing the sword and book for a while is that it can make the Second Elder think that we dare not take action again and must be secretly trying to sneak back to Sanling Town."
"This makes our attack on the holy site a little safer."
"And the most important preparations needed to attack the Holy Land are, naturally, feinting to the east while attacking in the west and seeking external assistance!"
"foreign aid?"
Who else can help us?
"It's Zhao De, of course!"
The group frowned upon hearing this.
"Zhao De? Does he really dare to help us deal with Wang Donghai? Besides, this guy is really not trustworthy."
Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Zhao De is naturally untrustworthy, but we are not truly cooperating with him either."
"As I said before, Zhao De was just bait for us to lure Wang Donghai to focus his attention elsewhere."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Those pirates haven't made a move yet, have they? Now that we've dealt with the Black and White Chaos, it'll be a good opportunity for them to play a role."
Cao Wuman nodded and said, "In that case, when shall we make our move?"
Yu Changsheng said, "No rush. In short, let's go into seclusion for a while first."
"I need to heal my injuries first, then improve my strength before taking any action."
The others nodded in agreement.
Yu Changsheng immediately found those pirates.
After the battle just now, these guys have been watching from a distance and haven't made a move at all.
Of course, Yu Changsheng did not force them.
However, this approach naturally displeased Yu Changsheng and others.
"Hehe, thank you all for keeping watch for us just now."
The leading pirate chuckled twice. They hadn't expected that Yu Changsheng and his group would actually defeat the Black and White Chaos.
They had hoped to escape when both sides were exhausted, but Yu Changsheng and the others kept a close eye on them, and they couldn't find an opportunity.
"Ahem, the reason we haven't taken action is because we're afraid of causing trouble and holding you back. After all, our strength is too weak to be of much help."
"Enough! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore!"
Yu Changsheng roared, causing those men to break out in a cold sweat.
They had all witnessed Yu Changsheng's previous strength. Although he was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Those few tamed beasts, in particular, were extremely troublesome.
Moreover, Yu Changsheng has several Nascent Soul cultivators behind him, so they naturally dare not be angry.
"Hehe, young brother, calm down. Alright, we won't say anything else. After this incident, we are even more certain of your strength and will support you wholeheartedly without any disloyalty."
"Alright, I already know what kind of people you are."
"But I know Zhao De quite well, and I'm sure he's not a short-sighted person. He's able to see the current situation clearly."
"In short, although you have betrayed us this time, I will give you another chance and spare your lives for the sake of Elder Zhao."
The leading pirate hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, please give your orders. We will definitely carry them out this time. If it happens again, we will accept whatever punishment we are given without any complaints."
The group quickly agreed, not daring to refuse any further.
Yu Changsheng slowly said, "What you all need to do this time is very simple: just deliver the corpse of this Black and White Chaos to the Second Elder."
"what?"
Upon hearing this request, the group all turned pale.
What a joke! Sending these people's corpses to the Second Elder is no different from sending them to their deaths.
The lead pirate immediately tensed up and said, "This, this can't be a joke, young brother. Even if you wanted to kill us, you didn't need to be so roundabout, did you?"
Yu Changsheng frowned and said, "Who said I was going to kill you? Sending two corpses over, how does that become sending them to their deaths?"
"The Second Elder doesn't know who killed Black and White Hunyuan, so he'll only focus on us."
"He doesn't know whether you've betrayed us or not. On the surface, isn't Zhao De still one of the Second Elder's men? If that's the case, what are you afraid of?"
After hearing this, the group realized that they had been scaring themselves and there was no need to worry about anything.
Upon seeing this, the group immediately agreed to the two.
"Very well, in that case, we will certainly guarantee to complete the mission. We'll get to it now!"
"Wait a minute!"
Yu Changsheng immediately stopped them.
He then added, "Sending away these two bodies is easy, no rush."
"Besides this matter, there is another thing I would like to discuss with Senior Zhao."
"Please speak, we will certainly convey your message."
Yu Changsheng said, "This time I plan to cooperate with Senior Zhao! Now that the Second Elder has lost the three major cities and no longer has the help of the Black and White Mixed Yuan, he is already at his wit's end."
"Such a great opportunity, doesn't Elder Zhao want to seize it and make a fortune?"
"Everyone, you only need to hand this matter over to Senior Zhao."
The pirates quickly agreed, "Yes, we will definitely convey your message to you, young man, without fail."
Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't keep you any longer."
"Can we go now?"
The pirates were also surprised that Yu Changsheng would let them go so easily.
"Otherwise, do you perhaps wish to stay?"
"No, no, no, we won't bother you any longer, young man. Farewell!"
The pirates, naturally, wouldn't risk their lives by staying any longer, and quickly left.
After the others had gone some distance, Yu Changsheng returned to the group.
"Alright, let's find a safe place as soon as possible and begin our seclusion."
"However, before we find it, we might as well invite Master Cao Anming to forge some magic weapons for us. With such good conditions in Fire Valley, it would be a real pity not to take advantage of it."
"Moreover, the Second Elder is unlikely to send anyone here easily in the short term, so it is safe here for the time being."
Cao Anming hadn't gone far to begin with.
They rested in a small town near Fire Valley.
Upon suddenly receiving Yu Changsheng's message jade slip, Cao Anming did not refuse and immediately came to Fire Valley to meet with everyone.
After learning of Yu Changsheng and the others' request, they readily agreed. (End of Chapter)
