Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1182: Preparation Before the Battle
The distant mountains were misty as if they were covered with a thin layer of muslin that made it faintly visible, along with fine clouds that seemed neither near nor far around it. The dark lines in the scenery separated the blue horizon and the sea blue sea as if they had been lightly painted with a brush.
A closer look at the mountain shows the sea on the east side with grasslands on the west side, while the north and south sides are guarded by winding and undulating mountain corridors with steep rocks and steep forests. Thanks to its strong winter Wintersweet plants and tenacious tall green bamboo, the mountain still has some places with lush greenery even in winter.
Whooshing sound…
A cold current lingered in the wind blowing on the mountain peak and, suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared suddenly and leaned against the pine tree at the peak. That figure was Tang Xiu. There was a faint little bead at the end of his nose as his intelligent and agile eyes scanned the surroundings. However, his mind wandered around and was filled with the contents of the spells and the rotating array.
It was the designated battlefield for the massive battle between Joyous Palace and Camp Gene. He rushed to this place with Tang An after knowing the location and then started to draw up a large lineup as he arrived. The main purpose of his arrival to Japan was to push Kuwako to become the most powerful person in Japan and thus, either Gembira Palace or Gene Camp would influence his plans. It was then that he decided to commit murder to remove all obstacles and pave the way for Kuwako.
“Four people climb quickly about 2 km to the east, Grand Master.” Tang An appeared out of nowhere and reported in a low voice. “They should be genetic fighters Gene Camp.”
Moving like a flash of lightning, Tang Xiu threw a jade skewer onto the ground and covered the trail with the ground and leaves. Then, she grabbed Tang An's wrist and their figures vanished at the same time.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
Four figures quickly arrived. Wearing black sportswear and katanas on their backs, with faces covered by masks, they vigilantly observed the surroundings nonstop.
After a while and not realizing any abnormality, the four people ran to the other end.
“Astep carefully and carefully.”
Tang Xiu slightly sneered after him and Tang An reappeared.
However, Tang An's expression was solemn as he whispered, “It's very possible that the Glad Palace and Camp Gene were really stimulated by us, the Grand Master. I can say that their next battle should be quite serious. ”
“Yes, otherwise my hard efforts to put down this huge array would have been in vain had they just sat down,” Tang Xiu commented.
“But .. do you really not need us to come with you on the day of the fight?” Tang An asked doubtfully. “I'm afraid they'll stop fighting once they both suffer a big blow.”
“Ah, you have never participated in a battle between cultivators, An. You have no idea about the scene where a large crowd of people were killing each other at all times. It's very bloody, brutal and really won't end so easily. No matter which side showed fear, they would soon be in a weak position, and what greeted them afterward was a crazy pursuit from their enemy. What do you think is the most important problem in a large-scale war among cultivators? ” Tang Xiu chuckles.
“Strength?” Tang An hesitated for a moment and checked.
“Power is just a small factor. The most important thing is momentum. ” Tang Xiu shook his head and smilingly explained, “Individual conversation does have its own role in large-scale war, but it matters in the overall picture of war is not as big as you imagine. To make it clearer, let's make a comparison. You are now a Golden Core cultivator, but do you have the confidence to win against dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Foundation Establishment experts? ”
“It ... I'm not sure about that.” Tang An shook his head.
“A true powerhouse may be able to escape, but a weak one will not have that luxury.” Tang Xiu continued with a smile, “Momentum of any party will weaken once their strength starts to run. The rest would lose their fighting spirit, leading to a decrease in their combat power. ”
After saying that, he took out a prepared shovel from the interspatial ring and dug a hole six and a half meters wide and two meters next to the pine tree. After inserting six fist-sized jade slips into the hole, he covered the hole with earth and erased all traces as he clapped and said, He covered the hole with earth, “Array is done and this pine will be the point. When both sides finally fought, they would be trapped inside the array once I activated it. ”
Tang An, who really admired Tang Xiu's knowledge and mastery in the array, nodded and said, “Are we going back now, Grand Master?”
“Come back!”
Tang Xiu calmly smiled and grabbed her wrist again.

The next day finally arrived.
Thousands of genetic warriors from the Gen Camp along with hundreds of cultivators occupied the mountain top side under the leadership of General Fukuda. The radius of a few kilometers around the entire camp was under close surveillance by many genetic fighters with hidden and open guard posts literally everywhere around the camp.
As dusk came, a large number of Buddhist cultivators from Joyous Palace also arrived under the leadership of the Joyous Palace Master, Dragon Vanquisher Sage. Down with him on the other side of the mountain were dozens of detection experts, while the 500 Buddhist cultivators in the palace marched forward to approach the Gen Camp camp.
“When will we start, Miyaji?”
Yuji, who had been following the Dragon Vanquisher Sage, used binoculars to observe the area with a waving banner, which was two kilometers away. A terrifying intent could be seen flashing in his eyes nonstop.
The sage himself was very happy with Yuji in the past few days because he discovered that he, whom he had never felt optimistic towards before, turned out to be the most competent person under him now. After gently patting his shoulder, he said, “Don't rush. Victory will be within our grasp if we know ourselves and the enemy. I need to find out how much power Fukuda vagabond has along with the power his Gene Camp has. ”
“Ah, how did you find out?” Yuji asked in surprise.
The Dragon Vanquisher Sage let out a thin smile and pulled 3 black flags from his waist. After chanting a strange spell, an invisible wind gathered from all directions in a strange chimera image that came out on top of the three flags. The chimera has the head and horns of a tiger, but with the ears of a dog and the body of a dragon, the tail of a lion, and the nails of a Qilin. To many of the core members and executives of Joyous Palace, this chimera looked like a dragon, tiger, lion, dog, and Qilin, but it did not.
However, in just a few seconds after that, the ghosts that appeared above the black flag were covered by the flag as the wind condensed and gradually disappeared into the forest.
“Today's battle is an all-out fight. How much power our Happy Palace needs to unleash will depend on how much power Fukuda has, ”Dragon Vanquisher Sage clapped his hands and happily said with a smile.
“What flag have you just released, Miyaji?” Yuji's eyes blinked and he asked with a calm expression, “Can you use it to know the enemy's strength?”
“You haven't heard of ‘Hearer Truth’?” ask Dragon Vanquisher Sage.
“No, never heard of it before.” Yuji shook his head.
A mysterious golden masked man in a black robe on the other side of the sage suddenly interrupted and explained slowly, “In the legends, the, the term belongs to the spirit beast under the sacred Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha or the Earth Guardians who can recognize everything within the world by listening, especially listening to the hearts of people. In the mythical fairy tale Journey to the West, one of four masterpieces is famously devoted to the story of Sun Wukong when distinguishing right from wrong. But that's just it, the legend where you have to take a grain of salt whether you can take it seriously or not. ”
The Dragon Vanquisher Sage happily nodded and looked at Yuji, saying, “Your contribution this time is amazing, avoiding the Glad Palace that the people of Camp Gene will take advantage of, to be sure, which makes you qualified to know some things deeper. This Truth Listener Flag was said to be a magical weapon belonging to the previous Prominent Monk. It may not be as magical as the Hearers of Truth say in legends, but it does have the function of monitoring some areas of the world while being invisible. Thus, it can be used to monitor the number of enemies as well as their strength. ”
Yuji quickly understood, but a worried look, still flashed across his face. Although she did not know about the details of Tang Xiu's plans, she was sincerely worried that her plans would be interrupted. If by any chance, Joyous Palace defeated the enemy easily with light casualties, such a situation would make things even harder for Tang Xiu to destroy Joyous Palace.
“Damn it!”
Just as Yuji was worrying about her, he suddenly heard the Dragon Vanquisher Sage cursing something with a pale face.
“What happened?” asked the mysterious golden masked man in a hurry.
The killing intent in the eyes of the Dragon Vanquisher Sage looked as if it was almost solidified as he clenched his fists tightly and said in a fierce tone, “I did not expect Gene Camp to boast such a powerful strength, as it was, I also don't think that he has a group of cultivators with him. I'm not afraid of them, of course. But the bastard was all around him .. the traitor of the Glad Palace! ”
“Traitors? Who are they?” exclaimed the golden masked man with thick killing intent.
“Bottom of 72 Chess, Ki Kitagawa and rank 36, Aka Hidari. I don't know how these two bastards managed to attract over 100 disciples of the Joyous Palace backbone! ”
The mysterious golden masked man coldly interrupted, “Both will be my first targets once the battle begins, Miyaji!”
Dragon Vanquisher Sage gritted his teeth and said, “I will give it to you, but give your best shot to kill them! They should know what their fate will be for betraying me. ”
“But why is Miyaji so troubled with them? Simply activate the restriction seal you placed on them and instantly kill them because they have decided to betray you. I think their inexplicable tragic death will create chaos in the midst of Gene Camp and attack their morale. ”
The Dragon Vanquisher Sage was silent for half a minute and then shook his head with a pale face. “I don't know what it means they've used. They have broken the restriction seal I placed on them without me being able to detect it. No wonder, yes. No wonder they betrayed me! It turns out they are now out of my control. ”
“How can that happen?!!” Yuji exclaimed with worry. “The seal that the Palace Master has thrown at your subordinates is no joke. Cannot be canceled at all. Didn't you say that no one else but you can undo that seal in this world? ”
“DIAM!!”
The Dragon Vanquisher Sage became furious and shouted loudly.
