Si Lin left, feeling anxious and uneasy when he left.
No one knows where he went, and no one knows what kind of mission Duan Tiannan has arranged for him.
"What did you give him?" Mo Lian asked curiously as he watched Si Lin disappear into the sand.
"What do you mean?" Duan Tiannan turned around with a smile.
"Master Duan, why should you hide it from me? Before Si left, you gave him something and I saw it." Mo Lian said with a smile.
"It's nothing, just something that can make the Si family completely strong." Duan Tiannan's lips curved slightly, but he still had no intention of telling Mo Lian.
Upon seeing this, Mo Lian shrugged and stopped dwelling on this topic. Instead, he asked, "Master Duan, what should we do next? Is there any good strategy?"
Hearing this, the smile on Duan Tiannan's face slowly disappeared and became extremely gloomy again.
Since he has been in this secret realm since the beginning of the operation, he has been unable to contact the outside world and does not know what the overall situation is now.
It wasn't until Si Lin surrendered a few days ago that he got a lot of important external news from this Yidi Mountain disciple who entered the secret realm later.
For example, the geniuses of several powerful forces all attacked Xu Yue on the top of Yidi Mountain, but failed miserably. Zong Qing of the Emperor Demon Sect and Tang Biao of the Changle Sect died as a result.
For another example, Mu Chuxuan, the former emperor's daughter, was not completely imprisoned. She even swung her sword light at the critical moment to block Duan Mutian's final blow.
But all these could only make him feel shocked and regretful. What really made Duan Tiannan extremely angry was another piece of news.
Xu Yue, the man who led his army to defeat him before, had actually destroyed the Mutian Sect not long ago!
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Duan Tiannan. He even did not dare to make the news public. He just told Mo Lian and other high-level commanders to let them know in their hearts.
Because, if this matter is told, so many Mutian Sect disciples who are still operating in the secret realm may collapse. When the military morale is messed up, it will be completely over.
"Well, now, although Xu Yue and Xiao Lanxian are both on the Yidi Mountain side, and they are powerful, we are not at a loss."
Duan Tiannan's voice was heavy, he looked at several monks and demon figures, and said slowly: "We were defeated by Xu Yue earlier. In addition to the fact that we have been fighting for days and the disciples are quite tired, there is another important reason, which is that the leader of the world The terrain of the tree allows their imperial formation to be fully utilized! It is no exaggeration to say that that is the home ground of Yidi Mountain! But here, it is different."
Duan Tiannan gradually calmed down, showing the outstanding qualities of an excellent commander, and said solemnly: "The terrain here is flat, the imperial formation is spread out, the power will be dispersed, and we can fight! And don't forget, the previous battle was not With all our combat power, we still have many disciples scattered in various areas.”
Duan Tiannan gradually clenched his teeth, remembering the humiliation of running away in a hurry, and said in a cold voice: "Now, I will gather all the disciples in the secret realm, gather here, set up a formation, and rely on the strength of fellow Taoists from Tianmoling. Formation, fight to the death with Xu Yue!!"
These words boosted morale, inspired people's hearts, and made the high-level officials of Mutian Sect and Tianmo Ridge excited.
That's right, their disciples are much higher than Yidi Mountain in terms of both quantity and cultivation. The only flaw is that the disciples come from various sects in the Immortal Realm. In terms of cooperation and tacit understanding, they are far inferior to Emperor Mountain. The disciples are so harmonious.
But Duan Tiannan believes that as long as his disciples gather together, they will definitely be stronger than Xu Yue and the others!
"But Sir, if all the disciples are transferred back, what will happen to our plan? If we don't get rid of those miscellaneous fish early, I'm afraid that by then..." After the excitement, a monk from Mutian Sect said worriedly.
"It's okay! Sharpening the knife is as good as chopping firewood. Once Xu Yue is dealt with, won't those people still be able to do whatever they want? Besides, if Xu Yue doesn't die, do you think we can complete the task with peace of mind?" Duan Tiannan asked.
"No, of course I understand this."
The monk from the Mutian Sect shook his head and asked tentatively: "Sir, I'm thinking, since it's all about fighting the enemy, we are still at risk, so why don't we open the formation and ask for help from the outside world? If we can If we get additional troops or reinforcements, or even if the adults personally take action, wouldn't it be possible to capture a mere Xu Yue?"
"no!"
However, this time, before Duan Tiannan could speak, Mo Lian, the number two figure, spoke up and said in a cold voice: "Now that the time for the trial in the secret realm has passed, Yidi Mountain is paying attention to this place all the time. Once the formation is opened, , it might be noticed by then, wouldn’t that mean all the previous efforts have been wasted?”
Mo Lian glanced at Duan Tiannan, who was silent, and then said: "Besides, with all due respect, your sect has been killed. Even if we open the formation, our reinforcements will not be enough."
"What's the meaning!"
The monks of Mutian Sect quit and said angrily: "Am I the only sect of Mutian Sect that contributes? You monks from Tianmo Ridge can't come in, right?"
"Sorry, your Mutian Sect strongly requested that the exit of the formation be set up in Tianzhou. Why, now that our family is destroyed and everyone is dead, we are asking the monks from Tianmoling to travel all the way from Nanling to Tianzhou. Are you going to enter this secret realm again?" Mo Lian sneered, his voice cold.
"you!"
The Mutian Sect members were angry and glared at him.
"Okay, no need to argue."
At the critical moment, Duan Tiannan stood up and said in a deep voice: "The war is about to begin, you and I should work together! Fellow Demon Daoist is true to what he said. Opening the formation rashly... does have certain risks. Let's follow my plan first. Line up and wait for the enemy!"
"Master Duan is wise!"
Several demonic figures bowed down at the same time, and the Mutian Sect monks could not say anything more. They bowed their hands with a stiff look on their face, showing a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
Duan Tiannan watched this scene silently, feeling a little strange in his heart.
He always felt that Tianmo Ridge seemed to be hiding something, and he was particularly concerned about every detail here being noticed by the outside world.
What is it hiding?
He didn't know, all this was just speculation.
"Report!!"
At this moment, in front of the team, a disciple suddenly ran over in a hurry, falling a few times on the way and looking quite embarrassed.
They were the vanguard sent to explore the dungeon. Their appearance at this moment made Duan Tiannan and others feel a sinking feeling.
"What's up!"
"Reporting to you, my lords! The stronghold in front...that is the dungeon has been destroyed at some point!"
"What!!"
call out!
Duan Tiannan looked horrified. He stretched out his hand to grab the spy, and the spy was sucked in by a powerful force, caught in his hand, and strangled his throat.
"You said that the dungeon ahead has been destroyed!?"
"Yes, it is!"
Facing the furious Duan Tiannan, the captured spy didn't even dare to struggle and could only respond with a horrified expression.
"When did it happen!" Duan Tiannan yelled.
"I don't know! But a disciple found the corpse of a monster deep in the dungeon. It's a little... weird!" The spy trembled, his face turned purple.
As he finished speaking, Mo Lian beside Duan Tiannan had a flash of surprise and coldness in his eyes.
