Chapter 270: Chapter 185 Strategy_3

“Wu Daoyou’s words are very true!” Liu Kaiquan of the Pengcheng Liu Family agreed.

“Then why do you go around spreading rumors that there is a Star Moon Fruit Tree in the lair of the Third Order Tianluan Turtle?”

Seeing everyone’s scorn and ridicule, Chu Jie’s face changed, and he immediately sneered back.

“It’s true I was the one who released the news, but I never forced anyone to come. It was you who coveted the Star Moon Fruits, wasn’t it?”

“If you didn’t discover any treasure, would you still vent your anger on me?”

“You… you…”

Hearing Chu Jie’s mocking words, Wu Xu became infuriated but was unable to retort.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Su Yunlong hurriedly stepped in to mediate.

“Fellow Daoists from Huangyang Kingdom, do not be irritated. Daoist Chu did not deceive us. Think about it, haven’t the cultivators from Zhenyang Sect also been waiting here for such a long time?”

Even though Su Yunlong’s words were reasonable, they managed to calm the atmosphere.

Xu Hua nodded and then spoke:

“Daoist Chu, no more beating around the bush, just be straightforward. Tell us about the situation with the Tianluan Turtle clan. Without killing a Third Order Demonic Beast, our cooperation is necessary, isn’t it?”

As soon as these words were uttered, Liu Kaiquan echoed them.

“Yes… I’m not hiding anything either. As long as the Third Order Demonic Beast is not dead, we won’t conflict with each other. Even if we do kill the Third Order Demonic Beast, it will still be based on our abilities. Aren’t we all just trying to fulfill our Sect’s mission?”

The frankness of these blunt words made people less repelled.

Chu Jie and the others nodded, their expressions gradually easing.

“Fellow Daoists, I don’t intend to hide it from you, the matter of the Tianluan Turtle is indeed absolutely true,”

Chu Jie said, then his expression turned mournful.

“Twelve of us entered the Secret Realm, and one of our fellow disciples died on the small island in the middle of the lake. Before that disciple perished, he sent back a message using a secret technique, and by judging the disturbances at that time, it was indeed an Early Stage Third Order Tianluan Turtle without a doubt!”

No sooner had he finished than Xu Hua hurriedly asked, “Was there any mention of the overall strength of the Tianluan Turtle clan?”

Seeing Xu Hua’s inquiry, Chu Jie’s expression became solemn, and then he responded:

“According to the description from our perished fellow disciple, there is only one at the Third Order, but there are likely many at the Second Order—no less than dozens of them. Their strength is formidable. That’s the reason why we haven’t driven away so many Loose Cultivators who have come here!”

Upon hearing Chu Jie’s explanation, everyone seemed to awaken from a dream. No wonder he had spread such important news far and wide.

“That makes sense… With a Tianluan Turtle clan of such strength, even we, the Six Major Golden Core Forces, might not be able to handle it,” said Xu Hua.

Chu Jie nodded and then shifted the topic.

“Fellow Daoists, that’s the situation. We don’t have much time. You may want to think of a plan. We must finish this within three days, or we will waste this opportunity!”

On hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, and then some suggestions were made, only to be quickly dismissed.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed…

Seeing that they could not find a reliable method, Xu Hua finally spoke up:

“If we forcibly attack the Tianluan Turtle’s territory, the risk is too great, and even if we succeed, our losses will certainly be huge. We can try to lure them out!”

“How do you suggest luring them out? Who would be willing to seek death?” Su Yunlong said.

“Exactly… Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would be practically going to their death by entering the Tianluan Turtle’s cave in the middle of the lake!” Li Wenyi commented as well.

“Hehe… take a look at this!”

Xu Hua chuckled, then took out a jade box, opened it, and placed it in front of everyone.

Within the jade box lay a spirit grass, half a foot long, entirely water-blue in color, with patterns of clouds adorning it, looking quite peculiar.

Seeing the spirit grass in the jade box, Chu Jie asked with a surprised and pleased expression, “Is this Tianluan Grass?”

“Hehe… Chu Daoyou, you have a discerning eye indeed!” Xu Hua responded.

Tianluan Grass is a Third Order Water Attribute Spirit Grass. Although it’s not of much use in alchemy, with only a scant few elixirs requiring it, it has immense attraction for water attribute demonic beasts, especially the Tianluan Turtle. It’s nearly their favorite spirit material, easily capable of drawing water attribute demonic beasts from a distance.

“Haha… with this, we can indeed lure the Tianluan Turtles out…” Chu Jie said with a hearty laugh.

Su Yunlong was also very happy, and then spoke up:

“We can find a place rich in Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy, set up a Second Order Formation, and then use the Tianluan Grass to attract the Tianluan Turtle clan. With the power of the formation, we might be able to reduce our casualties significantly!”

Hearing Su Yunlong’s plan, everyone’s expression turned excited, with Xu Hua speaking up:

“Exactly… That’s also what I was thinking. It is said that Su Daoyou is a Second Order Medium Quality Array Master, so I’m certain he will have a very powerful formation.”

Before he had finished speaking, everyone present was fixating their gaze on Su Yunlong, apparently eager to hear his thoughts.

Seeing this, Su Yunlong confidently stated:

“I have a complete set of Second Order Medium Quality Array Flags on me, which can be used to set up a Myriad Flames Sky-Scorching Formation. Although only relying on this formation wouldn’t be enough to kill a Third Order Tianluan Turtle, with the advantage of the right timing and location, restraining its power for a period of time is doable!”

“Good… This plan is solid!” Chu Jie said.

“Yeah… Does anyone else have anything to add?” asked Xu Hua.

Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Jie and the others began to discuss the specific implementation plan.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Golden Core forces’ disciples of the two countries reached a consensus: using the Tianluan Grass to attract the Tianluan Turtles into the formation, then combining the power of many cultivators, they planned to kill the Third Order Tianluan Turtles.

As for the Star Moon Fruit and the spoils of the big battle, it would come down to each person’s capabilities.

After working out the results and methods, representatives from the Six Major Golden Core Forces gathered together, surveying the loose cultivators present.

All six were at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, their strength undeniably among the strongest of the over two hundred cultivators present.

With solemn expressions, Chu Jie among them, addressed all the cultivators present with a fist salute, laying out their plan in full and inviting everyone to join in the fight against the Tianluan Turtle clan.

As for those who did not want to take action, they had to leave this place by a hundred miles now. If they did not heed the advice and lingered, they would immediately be driven away.

Those who were unwilling to take action but dared to lay hands on the Star Moon Fruit and spoils after the successful killing of the Tianluan Turtle clan, no matter their background or cultivation, would face pursuit and attack by the Six Major Golden Elixir Forces.

However, those who did participate would have the right to vie for the Star Moon Fruit and spoils; whether they could obtain them would depend on their own abilities. Of course, if they died here, it wouldn’t be the fault of the Six Forces.

Hearing Chu Jie’s threats and incentives, along with the stern expressions of the other five, it didn’t seem like a bluff.

Instantly, the cultivators present began discussing amongst themselves, with many hesitating, although some had no intention of leaving from the start.

Some cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level were very aware of their own limitations; they had come to watch the excitement and maybe pick up some bargains. If they perished here, what use would the Star Moon Fruit be to them?

Quickly, nearly a hundred people left the scene, yet still, more than a hundred people remained, seemingly reluctant to give up on this opportunity.

Seeing many cultivators leaving, Lin Tianming was in a dilemma. He then sent a message to Lin Shilu asking:

“Fifteenth Grandfather, what should we do, give up participating, or join their camp?”

After pondering for a while, Lin Shilu spoke resolutely:

“Hearing their plan, the feasibility is quite good, and there’s even a considerable chance of success. We’ve come all this way, for the sake of the family’s centuries of effort, I’m willing to stake everything!”

Seeing Lin Shilu’s determined expression, a fierce fire suddenly ignited in Lin Tianming’s chest, and a surge of momentum arose.

“For the sake of the family’s long-held expectations, let’s stake everything…”

Hearing Lin Tianming’s message, the two grandparent and grandchild shared a smile!
