672: Chapter 670: The Plan to Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain!
Hearing Li Qingxuan say this, it was almost certain that Sword Xuan was in the hands of the Shengyue Sect.
“Who would have thought, Sword Xuan has fallen into the hands of the Shengyue Sect!”
“Humph, the Shengyue Sect has kept such a tight lid for over a hundred years!
They didn’t leak a word!”
“Yes, if it weren’t for Li Qingxuan’s thorough investigation and infiltration into the Shengyue Sect, and overhearing this news, we might not even know if Sword Xuan died there.”
A lot of Spirit Sword Sect Elders were infuriated at the news of the Shengyue Sect detaining Sword Xuan.
Lin Bai said solemnly: “Honorable Elders, please calm down.
Our top priority now is to find a way to rescue Sword Xuan senior brother.”
“The Shengyue Sect is the foremost sect in the Dayue Kingdom, extrely powerful.
Without a well-thought-out plan, our Spirit Sword Sect, as it stands now, will have a hard ti challenging them.”
That was what Lin Bai stated seriously.
In the Dayue Kingdom, the Shengyue Sect held the absolute power, the only large-scale sect in the region.
With hundreds of thousands of disciples under their wing, saying their talents were like dragons and their masters were as nurous as clouds wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
At this mont, Lin Bai recalled that the Thousand Star Bead seed to be in the forbidden area of the Shengyue Sect…
Then Su Jiannan chid in: “Lin Bai is right, our most important task now is to rescue Sword Xuan.”
“To rescue Sword Xuan, we’ll inevitably have to confront the Shengyue Sect.
If our Spirit Sword Sect’s strength isn’t their match yet…” Ji Bei said with so worry.
Su Jiannan nodded: “True, the Shengyue Sect is the top sect of the Dayue Kingdom.
They have over ten masters that are in the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer among them, including the Sect Leader and two other esteed elders.”
“I can handle one, but it would be hard to confront three Human Elixir Realm Second Layer masters at once.”
Su Jiannan said in full seriousness.
Being the reigning sect in the Dayue Kingdom, holding 70% of the kingdom’s cultivation resources, it was no surprise that they had over ten Human Elixir Realm masters with them.
Lin Bai said: “I can also confront a Human Elixir Realm master, or maybe two or three.
But, if there are over ten of them, I’m afraid even if the whole Spirit Sword Sect marches out, we wouldn’t easily breach the Shengyue Sect’s mountain gate.”
Su Jiannan nodded gravely: “Therefore, we can’t confront the Shengyue Sect head-on, we must outsmart them!”
Ji Bei said seriously: “If there were a way to have all these Human Elixir Realm masters leave the Shengyue Sect, that would be great.
We could surreptitiously enter their forbidden area and rescue Sword Xuan without them knowing.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai looked thoughtful.
“Divert the Human Elixir Realm masters from the Shengyue Sect?” Lin Bai slightly furrowed his brows.
Suddenly, a spark appeared in Lin Bai’s eye and he exclaid in joy, “Sect Leader, I have a plan!”
Su Jiannan asked in delight: “Lin Bai, what’s your plan?
Do tell.”
Everyone turned to Lin Bai when they heard he had a plan, including Su Jiannan, Ji Bei, Li Qingxuan, Lijian Xing, and Ji Bai.
Lin Bai said: “Do you rember?
I had a duel agreent with the King of Sheng Yue.
After the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition, I will go to the Forbidden City in the Dayue Kingdom and fight him.”
“By then, the Human Elixir Realm masters from the Shengyue Sect might accompany him to watch the battle!”
“I’ve seen the map of the Dayue Kingdom.
The Shengyue Sect is still seven days away from the Forbidden City in the Dayue Kingdom.”
“Once these Human Elixir Realm masters go to the Forbidden City, with the Sect Leader and other elders’ strength, it would be easy to sneak into the Forbidden Area and rescue Sword Xuan.”
“And I can also rush back to the Shengyue Sect on a flying sword within an hour after defeating the King of Sheng Yue to assist you guys.”
Lin Bai slowly shared his thoughts with Su Jiannan.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiannan and Ji Bei agreed.
Lin Bai’s plan was probably the best way to do it now.
By pulling a Bogie-Maneuver, if these Human Elixir Realm masters went to the Forbidden City, the Shengyue Sect would definitely be left defenseless.
With the strength of Su Jiannan, Ji Bei, Ji Bai, and others, infiltrating the Forbidden Area should not be a difficult task.
Ji Bei then comnted: “This is a good plan.
I agree with Lin Bai’s proposal.”
After pondering for a while, Ji Bai also expressed his agreent: “I also agree with Lin Bai’s plan!”
Lin Bai asked with a smile: “What do you think, Sect Leader?”
Su Jiannan said, “This thod is good, but the King of Sheng Yue is not easy to deal with.
Do you have confidence in defeating him?”
“I must tell you, he, like you, is enveloped in glory and radiance!”
“He’s not only the King of Sheng Yue from the Shengyue Sect but also the Top Blade Cultivator of Lingdong’s 700 States!
His strength is nearly equal to yours!”
Su Jiannan looked at Lin Bai with a solemn expression.
Lin Bai said, “No matter, who wins and who loses, we won’t know until after the fight.
I too want to experience the strength of Lingdong’s Top Blade Cultivator firsthand.”
Su Jiannan said, “But, we have no way of knowing how many Elixir Realm experts from Shengyue Sect will go to the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom!”
“What if this battle does not draw away the top-tier Human Elixir Realm fighters from the Shengyue Sect, what then?”
Hearing Su Jiannan’s concern, many of the elders deeply agreed.
They had great trust in Lin Bai at the Spirit Sword Sect.
Wasn’t the Shengyue Sect’s faith in the King of Sheng Yue just as strong?
The Spirit Sword Sect believed that Lin Bai could defeat any opponents from Lingdong’s 700 States, and the Shengyue Sect believed the King of Sheng Yue could do the sa.
What if those Elixir Realm-strong fighters believed that Lin Bai would definitely lose to the King of Sheng Yue and decided not to watch the fight?
Lin Bai gave a slight smile and said, “I have a solution!”
“Lijian Xing, go and spread this news for .”
“Announce this: In half a month, atop the Forbidden Summit in Dayue Kingdom, the Human Elixir Realm experts from Shengyue Sect should co and collect the King of Sheng Yue’s corpse.
Otherwise, I’ll hack his body into pieces!”
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words,
Su Jiannan and others imdiately understood.
Su Jiannan exclaid, “You plan to provoke the Human Elixir Realm experts from Shengyue Sect?”
Lin Bai said, “If I don’t provoke them, how will they co to the Forbidden Summit to confront ?”
Su Jiannan sternly said, “No, no, this is too dangerous.
What if all the Human Elixir Realm experts from the Shengyue Sect go there, and you provoke them, what will you do then?”
“If they attack you, won’t you be trapped with no chance of escape?”
“No, this plan is not good.
I can’t risk another talented mber of the Spirit Sword Sect to save Sword Xuan!”
Su Jiannan imdiately rejected the idea.
Hearing Su Jiannan’s words, many elders within the Elder Pavilion also agreed.
At present, Lin Bai was already on par with Sword Xuan.
If the Spirit Sword Sect could rescue Sword Xuan, with Lin Bai and Sword Xuan, the sect could easily dominate Lingdong’s 700 States.
However, if they couldn’t rescue him and risked Lin Bai in the process, it would be a catastrophic loss for the Spirit Sword Sect!
Lin Bai reassured, “Don’t worry, Sect Leader.
I’m confident in my abilities.
Even if all the Human Elixir Realm experts from the Shengyue Sect co, even if I can’t beat them, I should be able to withdraw without getting hurt!”
Su Jiannan said, “This is too risky.
I don’t want you to take such risks!”
Lin Bai laughed, “This is our best option.
If we miss it, we’ll probably have to wait several more years to rescue Sword Xuan Senior Brother!”
“Sect Leader, we no longer have that much ti to wait.”
“Sword Xuan Senior Brother has been waiting for us in the Shengyue Sect for a hundred years, suffering for a century.
We can’t let him wait any longer.”
Lin Bai said very seriously.
Su Jiannan was torn, but eventually, he could only nod reluctantly.
Just as Lin Bai said, this was the best plan.
