Chapter 493: The Queen's Clever Plan
Anyone who enters the city to help me will be rewarded with 100,000 spiritual spirits!
As that cold announcement was made, it seemed as if the entire Wanhuaping fell silent for several breaths.
Not to mention the geniuses and evildoers in the Foundation Establishment Realm who were stunned for a moment, even the many God Transformation Sect Masters who stayed outside the city and watched couldn't help but reveal strange expressions at this moment.
"It's so simple and direct... It's really unexpected."
"Why is that Junior Sister Si He attracting so much incense? Is she also a member of Bodhi? Which Buddhist kingdom does she support?!"
"Are you stupid? What Bodhi disciple would attract his own divine incarnation by stirring up incense? This Senior Sister Si He is definitely not as advanced as she appears!"
"Such a powerful incense secret technique is dozens of times more powerful than the skills of the Bodhi monks of the same realm! It is more than enough to slaughter Jindan at will. It is too difficult for other junior sisters to compete for it."
There are more than thousands of immortals gathered in Wanhuaping?
Soon someone noticed something and said that this Junior Sister Si He might not be an ordinary cultivator, and might even be like those high-level Bodhisattvas, whose main means of survival depended on their own incense... The cultivation level of the first level of foundation building was just for show!
at the same time.
Many foundation-building cultivators began to get restless, and went into the city in groups of three or five to look for the fairy Sihe.
"I naturally don't care about a mere 100,000 spirit stones. I just want to fight for Senior Sister Si He."
"Just use spirit stones as the price. The Blood Robe Walker should also go to help Fairy Si He. Let's go and take a look together?"
"Huh~ Xue Yi is truly wealthy... Senior Sister, shall we go earn some spirit stones?"
When Si He said that, many beautiful women in the city thought it was ridiculous, but now they only saw... there were really cultivators gathering and leaving in groups.
It’s simply unbelievable!
Someone wanted to make an offer, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Firstly, they each already have a lot of support, so it is not appropriate for them to waste resources to compete for those individual customers. Everyone understands that the problem is not the lack of support but the uneven distribution of support.
Secondly... someone who can be moved by a mere spirit stone can't really play a big role in Tianxiang City.
Jian Ting had not yet entered the city, and he could not help but frown as he watched from afar.
After a brief discussion with his clan, he quickly sent a message to Jian Qiong: "Just let your Majesty do what she wants. Don't compromise the original arrangement."
Jian Qiong: "I understand."
Not only the Jian family, but many immortal sects of the seven ancient clans have sent similar messages to Tianxiang City.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. At this critical juncture, no one would be stupid enough to compete with Xue Yi for help. That would be tantamount to aiding the enemy!
"Why didn't the Huangfu family fight for it?"
Shuyue's eyes were full of surprise, and she whispered doubtfully.
In fact, Zhao Qing was a little slow to react, but his aunt's beautiful eyes rippled as she explained softly, "For example, if the Huangfu family asked for 300,000, Si He would definitely offer a higher price."
“Once it reaches that point, even the independent visitors who originally looked down on the mere spirit stones will be pushed towards Si He.”
"Even if we fight to the bitter end, the Ancient Immortal Sect's price will never be higher than ours."
"My husband only became a Blood Robe Walker last year. The resources he can mobilize are unfathomable. Just for a few casual guests, those Zhongzhou aristocratic families will never compare with our wealth."
"They're seizing the city for the sake of Tianxiang's status and interests. If they invest countless resources before even seeing any hope of seizing the city, it's really putting the cart before the horse."
Bai Wanqiu and Qin Chuxin walked side by side. At this moment, she seemed to be thinking about something. She smiled lightly and sighed, "Your Majesty's plan has forced them to sigh in despair. It is truly brilliant and unparalleled."
Zhao Qing: ???
Your Majesty, do you have any other plans?
It was only after listening to his aunt's analysis that he gradually came to his senses.
In fact, he didn't think about these things at all. He was discussing the deck arrangement with Si He enthusiastically.
And what plan can the Queen have?
The Queen was just simply drawing a card.
Zhao Qing suddenly realized that his family's luck was getting better and better. His aunt and Shuyue were able to accidentally defeat Huangfu Ming, and the decision Si He made on a whim was actually the best solution for the current situation.
"Idiot! Your master has already figured out how to deal with this, and your stupid brain is far from enough~"
The pretty face of the white-haired girl emerged, her words were firm and her smiling eyes even curved into crescents.
"Ah, yes, yes, Master, a great idea!"
Zhao Qing casually praised Si He, saying that he was so damn smart.
In Tianxiang City, the authority of walking on the twelfth floor is useless, but what is the authority of the Xueyi lineage?
Is it a bloody attack that will lead to the death of a hero? Is it the blue dragon's good fortune that makes everything go smoothly?
wrong!
Yes, I have money!
Of course, the wealth of the Ancient Holy Land is much richer than that of a Blood-Cloaked Walker like him, but they will never compare their wealth with that of a Blood-Cloaked Walker just for the sake of the Tianxiang City, whose outcome is yet to be determined.
The costs are completely disproportionate to the risks and benefits.
Moreover, one hundred thousand spirit stones is already a very high price.
It just requires the help of a foundation-building cultivator. There is no need to worry about your life in the city, and there is still a chance to get some opportunities.
In the past, Zhao Qing’s share of profits from Songshanfang was only 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones per year.
Apart from Zhongzhou, 100,000 spirit stones are definitely a considerable amount of resources for foundation-building cultivators, and can really bring in a lot of help.
But how many Yujing monks are there among them...that depends on the probability of Si He's card drawing this time.
For a Yujing disciple, his personal combat power might not be that important.
But if disciples from several factions come together to form a formation, they can definitely crush those clan geniuses with ease.
Zhao Qing had a vague intuition in his heart.
He transmitted his thoughts strangely, "It seems we have... truly found the correct way to open Tianxiang City."
"I think so too. That day, Sister Wu Xiang claimed to be a big star and even invited Zhang Jinyi to have afternoon tea while chewing gum. What kind of thinking could she have?"
Si He was in high spirits at the moment. Although his incarnation was still looking down at Tianxiang City coldly, his real body had already begun formulating strategies on Shouyun Mountain.
Neither she nor Zhao Qing had expected that... the battle for Tianxiang City was actually a strategy tower defense game.
At least when the difference in strength is not too great, the coordination and changes among the cultivators of various sects in Yujing can definitely produce unexpected results.
And the most important thing is——
Zhao Qing glanced at the fairy jade tower where Ning Mei was, and some enlightenment came to his mind.
Although everyone, including Sister Zhang, said that this was a battle to seize the city.
But in fact it was a battle to defend the city.
Only those who can defend their own city of a hundred miles will not lose the qualification to compete for the right to move.
And as long as you can hold on, you will definitely have a chance to take Tianxiang and walk away.
After assessing the situation, Zhao Qing immediately hit it off with Si He and changed his strategy again.
Capture the city?
Which city to capture?
Be the turtle first!
Watch the show on your own!
Build high walls! Store up food! Become king slowly!
The three auxiliary cultivators of Tianxiang, Baiyu and Bodhi, one Liyan and one Yunhai, assisted by the Star-Breaking Battle Formation, form a team of six. They may not be good at attacking the city, but they are absolutely invincible in defending the city.
Not to mention the Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage came, he would be disgusted and curse on the spot.
……
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
There were fewer monks watching among the sea of flowers and the butterfly field, and the leaders of the clans also began to wander around and sit in groups.
The battle for the city of Tianxiang gathered at least tens of thousands of foundation-building cultivators, and was obviously a protracted trial.
It is difficult to determine the winner within ten days or half a month, so there is no need to wait and see.
Qin Chuxin did not stay and watch.
Instead, he called over Bai Wanqiu and Liu Zijing. The three of them, along with Tang Shiqi, brought along many fellow Taoists from the Li, Yan, Mingyue, and Quyun sects... and had a banquet and chatted happily, waiting for news together.
Everyone came here because of the Blood Robe. The Foundation Establishment geniuses who should have entered the city had already entered the city. Naturally, they had to entertain one or two of the remaining Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.
……
And in the west of Tianxiang City, in Chu Hongning's fairy pavilion.
The tea mist is thick and the fragrance is floating in the air.
At this moment, there were seven people sitting around on the platform, chatting and chatting while also briefly discussing countermeasures - Zhao Qing, Hong Ning, Auntie, Li Wushuang, Xiang Qin, Luo Xianning, and Yan Hong.
This is the fairy tower and pavilion belonging to Ningmei, so there is no need to say much about Ningmei being present.
Zhao Qing first asked Shuyue and Qinghuan to go to Sihe to help gather and count the cultivators from various sects and the geniuses of the mortal world, but those cultivators who were casually found with the help of flower spirit stones were obviously not the main force.
The focus of the Tianxiang City trial is still in the West City of Hongning, while the South City corner is left for Si He to play strategy tower defense.
Zhao Qing and his aunt analyzed a lot of situations together. There were at least tens of thousands of cultivators in Tianxiang City. It was definitely not like the previous martial arts competitions. Instead, it was more like a battle between dozens of countries in one state.
Since it is a siege, the time, place and people must all be taken into consideration.
Those who seize the right time hide their abilities and wait for the right time to act, wait and see, discuss and negotiate more, and wait for opportunities.
As for the geographical advantage, the two immortal pavilions of the family are within a radius of one hundred miles, both in a corner of the city, so they are not attacked from the front and back, and can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But even so, it can't bring out much advantage.
"Our greatest advantages actually lie in two aspects."
"The pavilions of each of these Heavenly Fragrance Fairies are like the capitals of small countries, each leading their own forces to deploy their troops..."
My aunt served tea and water to the guests while she chuckled and discussed things.
Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he smiled at Li Wushuang and Yan Hong and continued, "We have two towers in Tianxiang City. Even if we miss one, we still have a chance to turn around and recapture the city."
Li Wushuang immediately understood, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps we can use one strategy, openly and secretly. After a long period of chaos, we can use a surprising strategy to sacrifice one city to lure the enemy in exchange for greater benefits for the other side?"
Wonderful!
Zhao Qing nodded with a smile: "We can also unite and attack vertically, and if necessary, we can try to take the southwest by force."
"But we only have a slight advantage. I think the four sacred places and the seven ancient clans should each have at least two towers..."
Her red lemon eyes were rippling, her slender hand supported her chin, she smiled silently, and listened quietly to her man's arrangements.
At this moment, she seemed to have really become the woman in those rumors, who only wanted to cling to the blood-stained clothes in exchange for her own opportunities.
But if someone really brought it up, Ning Mei would inevitably laugh and ask back - so what? She, Chu Hong Ning, was just like that. She loved to see Zhao Qing devote himself to her, and loved to follow Zhao Qing around like a vase!
Luo Xianning didn't have much experience, and at this moment she also frowned and listened quietly beside Hong Ning.
Xiang Qinning nodded, put down his teacup, and replied slowly, "Indeed, as far as I know, the Jian family has three... and the Huangfu family has at least three."
She turned to look at Zhou Xiaoyi and whispered doubtfully, "I wonder what our second great advantage is?"
Hearing this, my aunt smiled, lowered her head and silently prepared the tea.
But Zhao Qing laughed out loud, "The second advantage is naturally the four of you present here."
"Is it... us?" Xiang Qin was puzzled.
Zhao Qing leisurely put down his teacup, first glanced at Li Wushuang with a smile, and then introduced him to Xiang Qin and Luo Xianning in detail: "Junior Brother Wushuang, the young master of the Jizhou Li family."
"The younger brother of Blood Robe Nine Walkers holds an extremely high position in the clan. As someone who has been in a high position for a long time, he naturally has a unique vision and can see the overall situation."
"Although Junior Brother Yan Hong is not a Blood Robe cultivator like me, he is also a relative of my Blood Robe Sixth Walker. His knowledge and experience far surpass the ordinary, and he is deeply admired and respected by fellow cultivators of the same generation."
Zhao Qing smiled as usual and then introduced the two women: "Junior Sister Xiang Qin, you are the Young Master of Mingyue Mansion and have experienced the trivialities of the sect for a long time...
"It's me, Blood Robe Yan Chuanzhou's blood son, who ranks among the top three in the Dragon Abyss competition. Now, in Yan Chuanzhou's Blood Robe lineage, he is also the noble one who has integrated the Blood Robe disciples of a state."
Um……?
What does this have to do with capturing the city?
The four of them looked at each other in confusion, secretly pondering the deeper meaning of it, and seemed to vaguely understand something.
"Junior Sister Xian Ning, we are old friends. In my early years, she was the Young Master of the Changsheng Sword Sect, and now she is the Elder of the Siyou Sect."
"Although his cultivation is not high, his ability to command cultivators is extraordinary. It would be most appropriate for Xian Ning to slightly organize him to become a free-spirited cultivator!"
Sort out? Rule?
The four of them instantly realized where their advantage lay...
Zhao Qing's true intentions were revealed, but his smile remained as gentle as a spring breeze.
He and his aunt called Li Wushuang and the other three for this matter.
Hong Ning slowly put away her smile and softly concluded, "Our greatest advantage lies in the clear and simple relationships we have. Unlike the ancient clans and immortal sects, which are so complicated and even have so many conflicts of interest."
Although what she said was very obscure and gentle, her meaning was very clear.
This is the countermeasure that Zhao Qing and his aunt discussed—
Their greatest advantage is actually the supreme status of the Blood Robe Walker, which gives them absolute say among all the monks who come to help.
Xiang Qin, Li Wushuang, and Yan Hong still have absolute say in their respective positions.
Xian Ning acted on his behalf, and naturally it was no problem for her to command the Red Dust Wanderer Sect cultivators.
Although those ancient clans have many cultivators and occupy cities covering hundreds of miles, the interests behind them are entangled and chaotic, which is not conducive to unified management. What's more, the several Tianxiang fairies who have joined forces will even have their own ulterior motives.
While traveling in Yujing, Nangong Yao and Huangfu Ming did the same. Ji Meng even lobbied along the way and personally invited a lot of help.
Although they have more people and more cities...but they are definitely no match for me in terms of mobility.
According to Zhao Qing and his aunt's estimation, of the eighty-two towers in this city, the number of people who truly control them and possess absolute power should not exceed the number on their hands...
The aunt saw that the four of them understood and smiled.
Immediately, she gently moved the teacup in front of her, waved her slender hand and took out the chessboard, placed the black pieces in each of the two southwest corners, smiled softly and said, "This is how the game in the city is played."
"Although we have a slight advantage, we are still somewhat weaker than those allied immortal sects and ancient clans."
"We are not qualified to fall into the Tianyuan realm, so we can only work our way up from the edges."
"Fortunately, this area of 200 miles is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How about we just wait and see?"
The little aunt's laughter faded, and seeing everyone nodding, she immediately smiled softly and said, "With Senior Brother Wushuang forming the Xuanwu tribe, leading the three veins of Tianxiang, Baiyu, and Bodhi, and supplemented by Yunhai, Shattered Star, and Liyan, they should be more than capable of defending the Baili City."
Xuanwu tribe!?
Li Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he finally realized that this... could indeed be considered their biggest advantage.
"I'll try my best. We should go into the city and explore a bit. How about we discuss this together?"
Zhao Qing lowered his head and sipped his tea with a smile. Seeing that Li Wushuang agreed, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
Although strategic tower defense can be used as a reference, the most important thing is... in the battle to capture the city, their advantage is actually their lightness, flexibility, and strong control.
The Huangfu clan has five quotas for entering the city, but the relationships between the various foreign clans are chaotic, and even the five saints want to become Tianxiang walkers...
Not to mention those ordinary fairies and saints who are relied upon. It is true that they have the help of geniuses, but can they order others around at will?
But Li Wushuang can, and Yan Hong can.
For those clans that depend on the Blood Robe, he, the Blood Robe Walker, has the final say.
In view of the current situation, the countermeasure Zhao Qing proposed was - build an army!
Others rely on personal connections to build connections in the city, but he directly builds an army in Tianxiang City!
The order came out of the mountains and shook the three armies, and they listened clearly!
An army composed of foundation-building monks to capture the city!
How can the weak defeat the strong?
Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, avoid the real and attack the fake.
He also asked, how can we win with fewer troops?
Only the use of military force is a treacherous path.
