Now that various construction matters have been decided, Hu Qingqing, Gu An, and Li Changsong went about their business without mentioning it. Qian Yunsheng rushed back again without stopping to make arrangements for the Wsha Stone Spirit.
The amount of Wusha Stone Essence is not large. According to Hu Qingqing and Gu An's estimates, Qian Yunsheng feels that with his current cave-heaven magic weapon, it should be enough to carry it.
However, just after he first used the seeds of heaven to return to the small world of Huangquan to arrange the Wusha Stone Spirit, and then returned to the New Qing Ning Valley, he heard Jie Puzong coming over to report: "Master, what is there in Longhu Mountain?" Bian is using the puppet technique again!"
Now Longhu Mountain is the backing of Qingning Valley. The reason why Qingning Valley has been able to develop steadily for more than two years is because Longhu Mountain has intimidated the surrounding Xiaoxiao.
The few times Guang Qian Yunsheng came back, he heard about seven or eight battles around him, and countless small fights. However, Qing Ning Valley has always been stable, and this is all due to Longhu Mountain.
If the previous arrangements were followed, Qian Yunsheng would naturally arrange the puppet technique since Longhushan urged him to do so in order to obtain more benefits.
But now is the critical time for the construction of Kuiyou City. Longhushan came to urge the puppet technique, obviously he didn't have any good intentions. Therefore, Qian Yunsheng frowned slightly and said, "Think of a way to delay them for another half year."
Xie Puzong knew that Qian Yunsheng's order must be implemented no matter how difficult it was, but it was obvious that it was difficult for the Longhu Mountain side to delay it any longer.
So I cautiously suggest:
"Master, the first batch of wild vines we planted in the past two years have just been harvested. Although we have recruited hundreds of disciples through two consecutive years of ascending to immortality conferences, they have just begun to cultivate their Qi, and none of them have entered the Qi refining stage. , so they are all unusable.”
"So this old slave is thinking, can we integrate our puppet technique into the wild vines, and then offer this kind of wild vine puppets?"
"In this way, we can not only see hope in Longhu Mountain. At the same time, the large quantities of wild vines are unique to us, and there are too few monks we can use. Once Longhu Mountain requires mass production, according to our The number of monks is definitely not enough to meet the requirements of Longhu Mountain."
"Thinking about it this way, we have a reason. Even if I, Qing Ninggu, make all-out preparations, it will take at least half a year as the master said before we can deliver enough barren vine puppets for Longhu Mountain."
Qian Yunsheng knew about Xie Puzong's suggestion, but he realized that Longhushan was a well-known and upright sect, so it was not easy for him to snatch Qing Ninggu's puppet technique and arrange for his own production.
So, he thought for a while and nodded: "Well, this method is feasible. In this way, what we are talking about is the actual situation. Even if we don't believe it when we come to Longhu Mountain, we are not afraid of them coming to investigate."
"Just do as you say! Go, call Sha Baili and bring some crudely made wild vines. I will teach you how to make this puppet technique first."
"In this way, you can not only report to Longhu Mountain, but also delay the progress of the whole matter."
Just as Qian Yunsheng was teaching puppet skills to Jie Puzong and Sha Baili, monks from the three sects gathered again on Longhu Mountain.
Taoist Qingmu was the first to hear: "Last time, Longhushan said that as long as you give you a few years, you can develop a new method to restrain the soul clan."
"But now more than two years have passed, where is the method to restrain the soul clan? If we don't send troops, this demon sect will resurrect!"
Taoist Black and White stiffened his neck and said, "Taoist Qingmu, you can't say this nonsense!"
"The technique of restraining the Soul Clan involves secrets, so we naturally have to be cautious. What's more, the construction of the Demon Sect was an unexpected event. When we talked about the method of restraining the Soul Clan, we only talked about a few years, but You didn’t kill any two-year agreement, did you?”
Xiang Yushi gently shook his folding fan and said, "Hei Baizi, if you have any unspeakable secrets in Longhu Mountain, you can tell them openly. Wouldn't it be faster if the three sects of us study the details together? Why hide it?"
"Everyone must know that our informants in Kuiyou City are here to report. In at most one year, Kuiyou City will be completely completed."
"As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable but swift. Is it possible that we have to wait until then to gnaw on this hard nut?"
Yun Xiangzi shook his head at the side and said: "Brother Yushi's words are wrong. It is true that soldiers are valuable and quick, but they must be surprised."
"Now that the Demon Sect is busy building the city, the whole world knows that our three major sects will never be able to watch it be completely completed."
"As a result, we have lost our concealment and suddenness strategically. In addition, the Soul Clan is holding us back from the side, so how can you really have the confidence to achieve the effect of having powerful troops and great speed?"
"If you ask me, maybe the combined forces of the Demon Sect and the Soul Clan are lying in the middle of the road, waiting for us to get in!"
Although Yun Xiangzi's words were hypothetical, everyone knew that they were probably not far from the truth. Obviously, it is impossible for everyone to just watch the Demon Sect build this city, otherwise there would be no need to gather in Longhu Mountain in such a hurry.
However, Yun Xiangzi's analysis actually addresses everyone's concerns. Song Hezi seemed to have woken up from his sleep, his old eyes were dim but his eyes were actually reserved and he looked at Yun Xiangzi and said:
"Then what do you think Longhushan should do?"
Seeing that Yun Xiangzi had successfully diverted everyone's attention from the method of destroying the soul clan to the offensive strategy, he spoke eloquently: "I think it is true that we want to attack, but it is also extremely important to choose the direction of attack."
"For example, we can completely push the army to the border of the Soul Clan, but we are not in a hurry to act. Instead, we send out small teams to attack everywhere. In this way, the initiative of the attack can be transferred back to us."
"As long as we don't rush to suppress the enemy with our army, but remain motionless, the Soul Clan will be in a dilemma."
"If they organize a large army to abandon the geographical location and leave the border to attack us, it will naturally play into our hands. We can make good use of our large formation at the border to annihilate the soul tribe."
"If it can really succeed, then Kuiyou City will be easy to do without the help of the Soul Clan. This is the best strategy!"
"If the Soul Clan doesn't dare to attack, we can definitely arrange a strong team to attack everywhere."
"In this way, we can not only explore the reality of the Soul Clan, but also make the opponent exhausted and unable to know which of our attacks is the real attack."
"When, where, and on what scale we attack Kuiyou City will be within our control, and we can adapt accordingly."
"We can completely and flexibly determine the time and order of the attack based on the situation at that time. Even if we don't invest much and just attack with elite troops, we can also organize a second and third attack in the event of a failure. .”
"Even if our efforts fail several times, as long as we can find out clearly the truth about the Soul Clan on the frontal battlefield, it won't be considered a complete failure. This is the right strategy."
"And what you just said is exactly the wrong strategy. The intention of the attack is too obvious. Once the attack fails, there will be no room for change, and it will easily make the world's heroes laugh."
"Isn't it Mingjian that we had the Nanman garrisoned monks organize in a hurry for the first attack?"
Yun Xiangzi's methodical analysis immediately silenced the other two factions.
Obviously her words were profound and in line with the truth. Everyone silently considered their own methods and found that her method was the most reasonable.
However, Xin Linjun still pointed out:
"But as a result, we are under great pressure on the place. There are so many monks and spiritual beasts, not to mention that the spiritual stones, elixirs, etc. are all a big expense."
"We have just recovered the Southern Barbarians, and each sect has just begun construction. Not to mention their huge investment, I am afraid it will be difficult to accumulate any surplus wealth in just over two years."
"Now that we suddenly start fighting again, it would be okay if the local sects only support us for a short period of time. But if it takes a longer time, it will be difficult for them to support us. It would be extremely dangerous if the army loses support."
"If we want to allocate resources from Zhongzhou, it will be difficult to quench our thirst with water far away. Therefore, Yun Xiangzi, although your idea is good, it is not a sustainable strategy."
Yun Xiangzi said with a smile: "You also said that the Demon Sect will only build the city in a few years. Although we have launched a protracted war, it is just to deceive both the Demon Sect and the Soul Clan."
"Actually, if we cannot conquer Kuiyou City within a few years, there is no point in stationing at the border for a long time. Since we have the advantage, if we really cannot conquer Kuiyou City, we will have to fight or retreat. Aren’t we determined?”
After hearing Yun Xiangzi's explanation, Xin Linjun finally understood, nodded and said:
"The last time we fought against the Soul Clan, the Longhu Mountain route was the most successful. It seems that we are still impatient. This time, I, Taiwei Pavilion, are willing to advance and retreat with Longhu Mountain."
Yun Xiangzi smiled slightly, bowed to Xin Linjun to express his gratitude to Taiwei Pavilion, and then looked towards Qingyun Mountain.
Qingyun Mountain wants to compete with Longhu Mountain for the first place among the three sects, so naturally it doesn't want Longhu Mountain to take the lead.
But the last time the Nanman fought, Qingyun Mountain didn't get anything good. Obviously, the three-pronged strategy that Qingyun Mountain advocated successfully in the East China Sea had failed in the Southern Barbarians.
In addition, Taiwei Pavilion has also expressed its stance. If I don't express my stance, I will look petty.
Therefore, Song Hezi had no choice but to speak on behalf of Qingyun Mountain: "Master Yun really has a thorough plan, and I admire him!"
"That being the case, in this second battle with the Southern Barbarians, I, Qingyun Mountain, will also obey the command of Longhu Mountain!"
Yun Xiangzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving two promises, secretly saying that he was finally not outdone by Qingyun Mountain in Nanman. The other side calmly sent a message to Taoist Black and White: "Junior Brother, the matter of Qingning Valley cannot be delayed any longer."
"We finally dealt with it today, but once the army sets out and we can't come up with this method to deal with the Soul Clan, it will delay the big thing."
Taoist Black and White also knew that this matter was of great importance, and quickly sent a message to respond: "Senior sister, don't worry, it's going to happen today, I will go to Qing Ning Valley myself immediately!"
