In the side hall:
Zhou Qing, Su Moyu, Chu Zhaohe and others are discussing the situation of the battle:
"It seems that this time, the command headquarters did not suffer much loss."
"Yes, at least I didn't see any of the cave's magic weapons being damaged. Even the spiritual light is intact."
"It is a blessing that we were not defeated on the frontal battlefield. It is the only good news..."
They had just returned to the command headquarters, and they had no idea about the situation on the frontal battlefield. They just knew that the Chunyang Immortal Sect had not suffered a loss, so they were in a stalemate and retreated their troops.
Zhang Zhenyu, who sent a Feijian letter ordering them to withdraw, has still not been seen.
A few people just discussed a few words:
"Junior brothers and sisters."
A clear voice came from the door of the side hall.
Everyone subconsciously turned around and saw a slender and handsome young man, wearing a crimson robe, walking into the hall.
"Senior Brother Su?"
"Greetings to Senior Brother Su!"
Zhang Shun, Zhou Xingcheng, and Lao Jin looked shocked and stood up to salute. Even Chu Zhaohe, He Qu and others seemed to recognize him, and their attitudes became respectful.
"Cousin..."
Su Moyu, who was usually carefree, was a little uneasy at the moment and greeted in a low voice.
When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised.
Even Zhang Shun, Zhou Xingcheng, Lao Jin and others were startled. These teammates who were close to Su Moyu didn't seem to know that he had such a relationship with Su Mo.
"Xiaoyu, I hope you're safe."
Su Mo nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, fixed on Zhou Qing, and showed a faint smile:
"If my prediction is correct, this should be the famous Junior Brother Zhou Qing, right?"
"You don't deserve senior brother's praise."
Zhou Qing replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Junior Brother Zhou, let me introduce you."
Su Moyu on the side saw this and said:
"This is my cousin, the direct disciple of the master of the Demon Slayer Hall, and also the head of the inner disciples who will be on the battlefield this time."
"oh?"
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was immediately moved.
He was mingling among the crowd and called Senior Brother Su, but he didn't expect that this person in front of him was such an outstanding person.
It should be noted that there are also eight hundred inner disciples, but there are only a handful of people who can worship under the master of a certain six halls, let alone the master of the demon-slaying hall who is number one among the six halls!
"Junior brothers and sisters, you have just broken through the siege after a bloody battle, and you have just come from the rear, so you should have a good rest."
Su Mo said in a gentle tone, then looked at Zhou Qing and signaled:
"Junior Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I came here specifically to find you. I have something extremely important to ask you for."
"If you are free now, how about going for a walk with me?"
"……OK."
Zhou Qing thought briefly and then readily agreed.
After Zhou Qing followed Su Mo and left, Su Moyu, Chu Zhaohe and others looked at each other.
"Senior Brother Su...are you here specifically to see Junior Brother Zhou? Or is it something very important?"
Chu Zhaohe's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of confusion.
It is true that Zhou Qing's strength is extremely strong, and his future is limitless. He is one of the witnesses of Zhou Qing's rise, and he admires him extremely.
But in the final analysis, Zhou Qing is still an outer disciple, and his identity, status, and strength are completely different from Su Mo's.
What is the important thing that made this leader of the inner disciples find Zhou Qing instead of looking for others?
…………
"What on earth is going on? Do you bother Senior Brother Su to come and look for me in person?"
The two of them walked through the corridor one after another, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask this question.
"Not urgent."
Su Mo waved his hand and led Zhou Qing to a garden pavilion.
The Tianhong Palace occupies an area of tens of feet. The interior is not only pavilions and pavilions, but also has rockeries, streams, gardens and lotus ponds. It is completely equipped as a luxurious residence.
"Junior Brother Zhou, please."
After he took the seat first, he motioned for Zhou Qing to sit down.
After Zhou Qing also sat down, he showed a smile and said:
"Junior Brother Zhou, I have a few questions to ask you, which are related to the success or failure of this battle!"
"I hope you can answer truthfully. Senior brother, I would like to thank you in advance."
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Qing, his expression showing sincerity.
"Senior brother, your words hold true."
Zhou Qing quickly stood up, supported him, and said seriously:
"Senior brother, just ask. Junior brother, I can answer everything I can."
He didn't say it too seriously, but since Su Mo mentioned it was related to the success or failure of this battle, he naturally took it very seriously.
"good!"
Su Mo sat down again and asked in a deep voice:
"Junior Brother Zhou, I heard that you opened up the sea of consciousness and gave birth to divine thoughts in advance when you were in the late stage of opening your meridians. Is this true?"
"good."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and used his spiritual thoughts to shoot past.
There is nothing to hide. There are many people who know this. Su Mo is just being cautious and wants to confirm again.
"As expected!"
Su Mo felt the divine thoughts sweeping through him and showed a smile:
"My second question is more critical."
He stared at Zhou Qing with bright eyes and said:
"Junior Brother Zhou, the speed of your cultivation is incredible. It far exceeds all the contemporary disciples of Chunyang Immortal Sect."
"Now that you have mastered Yunling-level spells and have divine thoughts in advance, once you break through to the point of opening the meridians, it will be almost no difficulty for you to open the Qi Palace."
"I want to ask you, if you practice with all your strength, how long will it take to reach the Qi Palace realm?!"
When Zhou Qing heard this, his expression changed slightly and he fell silent for the first time.
Su Mo did not urge him, but sat quietly opposite him, waiting for his response.
"……call!"
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and finally decided to tell the truth.
He knew in his heart that with the blessing of his career panel, the speed of his cultivation had reached a level that could be called unparalleled.
This was destined to be something that couldn't be concealed. He never thought of concealing it from beginning to end. Today he happened to expose it openly and openly, thereby attracting the attention of the higher-ups in the sect!
"Seven or eight days will do!"
Zhou Qing gave an answer that was beyond Su Mo's expectations.
"Okay...ok!! Hahaha..."
Su Mo gave a long laugh, showing a hint of heartfelt joy:
"That being the case, great things can be accomplished!"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Brother Su, I would like to ask you, why is my practice related to the success or failure of this battle?"
"It's a long story."
Su Mo's smile faded and he said slowly:
"In my opinion, as early as ten days or as long as half a month, we and the demon clan will definitely win the final battle."
"This battle will not only determine the success or failure of this major counterattack, but will also determine who will have the upper hand in the outer reaches of Luofu Daze in the next few decades."
"If we win, then for decades to hundreds of years, the thousands of miles of territory outside Luofu Daze will still be a hunting ground for us to roam."
"But if we lose... then there will be a series of consequences that none of us want to see."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, seeming to understand something:
"So, Senior Brother Su has a way to turn defeat into victory."
"But part of senior brother's method, and a crucial part, must fall on me..."
He looked directly at Su Mo in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder, junior brother, is my guess correct?"
"good!"
Su Mo said calmly:
"After this battle was over, I thought about it and felt that the only way to turn the tide and reverse the occupation was to implement decapitation tactics!"
Having said this, he paused and patiently explained:
"The group of big monsters in Luofu Daze are different from the inner disciples like us."
"Their relationship is not usually close. On the contrary, many of them have grudges and have fought many times. This time, it was all because the descendant of the Daze royal family, 'Jiao Shiqi', had a noble bloodline and was in control of the rare treasures in the family, so he threatened them. To serve."
"Not only that, Jiao Shiqi also has seven or eight great demons of the same race with him. They are all his personal guards and attendants, and they are also his key assistants in suppressing and commanding many great demons."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he suddenly said:
"I see!"
"The hierarchy among the demon clan is strict, and there are also many contradictions among the many great demons."
"Once Jiao Shiqi dies, his bodyguards and compatriots will inevitably feel like mourning for their heirs. In order to avoid punishment from the clan, they may even flee on the spot, all the way out of Luofu Daze."
"Without the pressure of the leader and these backbone forces, the demon army may soon break out into a great chaos, and even many big demons may disperse in one fell swoop."
"At that time, as long as we take advantage of the situation and counterattack, we can defeat the demon clan in one fell swoop!"
The principle behind this is similar to the principle of battle formations in which mortal armies fight each other.
The coach is dead, how can the bodyguard survive alone?
If the commander is the head of a large army, then these backbones are the limbs, which are the key for the commander to control the entire army.
Once the head is chopped off and all the limbs are chopped off, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to jump up!
"Yes, Junior Brother Zhou, your idea is right."
When Su Mo heard this, the smile on his face deepened:
"The Demon Clan has a large number of people and respects blood and strength. This is their strongest point and also their weakest point."
"Once there is no suppression from the Daze royal family, this large group of monster armies that already hate each other and are even natural enemies of each other will be easily defeated."
"Therefore, the key to the beheading operation is to kill Jiao Shiqi in the shortest possible time without giving the demon clan guards a chance to react and launch rescue operations!"
When he said this, he took a deep breath and said slowly:
"But I have fought against that Jiao Shiqi several times, and we even had a showdown with horses and chariots before, but I couldn't help him."
"I also have a trump card given by my teacher. I think it's enough to kill him. However, I can't use this trump card right now, so it's limiting me everywhere."
"oh?"
When Zhou Qing heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly:
"I wonder what kind of trump card can make senior brother have such confidence?"
If he guessed correctly, then Su Mo's trump card was the real reason why he came to find him.
But why can he use a trump card that even Su Mo can't use? Is it because my cultivation is so fast?
