Chapter 1 Official Xingzhe

The official Xingzhe looked at each other, but no one responded.

"At Guan Ya's place?" Zhang Yuanshi pointed to the high-rise building where Lao Si Ji was and said, "Let's go inside and talk. Water ghosts, go refine some drinking water. Wood spirits, you're in charge of hunting and getting some food." The others, who had not yet gathered, dispersed in an orderly manner, each busy with their own tasks.

Zhang Yuanshi entered the high-rise building and happened to see Guan Ya leading Blood Rose downstairs. Ignoring the latter's slightly dazed gaze and stiff face, they were practically a pair of goddesses. A middle-aged fire master, supporting Jiang Jingwei, shouted, "Damn, she's beautiful! Yuanshi Tianzun, didn't you hesitate at all when you killed this woman to refine her into a Yin corpse? Or did you pick her just because of her beauty?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know that loach are subtropical creatures?" If anyone else had said that, Zhang Yuanshi would have suspected that they were trying to smear him, but since it was a fire master, Zhang Yuanshi believed that he was just speaking his mind. The men let out strange chuckles.

Zhang Yuanshi didn't want to explain, but he glanced at the several attractive female colleagues who were silently watching him. He coughed and said seriously, "This Yin corpse was prepared for me by Centurion Fu. The one used in the arena was lost in the Village of Lost Speech." The female colleagues suddenly understood. He then looked at Guan Ya and smiled, "Did you get the reward for the Heart of the Forest?" Guan Ya nodded lightly and blinked, "It's a very beautiful gemstone, so green it makes me dizzy!" As she spoke, she glanced at the female colleagues around her. "This sentence contains a lot of information. She can tell that my unnecessary explanation is to save face with the female colleagues." Zhang Yuanshi silently grumbled. Although he was used to Guan Ya's speaking style, he still sometimes got stuck and didn't know how to respond. "Sister Guan Ya, my stomach hurts."

Jiang Jingwei made a timely appearance, frowning slightly as she walked to Guan Ya's side.

Guan Ya carefully examined her and confirmed that her injuries were under control, then breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her to sit down on the steps.

So, everyone sat on the floor in the dusty, rubble-filled stairwell, waiting for the wood spirits to finish hunting, the water ghosts to retrieve the water, and the fire masters to roast the meat. They chewed on the not-so-tasty roasted meat and began to discuss the next steps. Zhang Yuanshi said, "Let's talk about the mission first. We need to take four 'Hearts of the Forest' to four arrays, find the array eyes, and stabilize the seal. The activation interval between each array cannot exceed ten minutes, which means we have to split into four teams to go to different arrays." According to the mission prompt, as long as one array is breached by the Mountain Ghost camp, they can summon the existence in the Blood Pool. The Mountain Ghost camp also has four Blood Jades. I guess that Blood Jades, like the gemstones, represent an array.

"This mission has two core points: first, reinforce the seal within the specified time; second, defend the array and prevent the Mountain Ghost camp from passing through the grand array and sending Blood Jades into the Blood Pool. Not even one."

"We need to develop tactics around these two cores." Tianxia Guihuo raised his hand and said, "If I were the Mountain Ghost camp, I would just charge one array. Even if I lost a Blood Jade in the process, as long as I summoned something from the Blood Pool, I could easily defeat us." Yunu Wugua said, "The mission requirements state very clearly that only warriors who believe in the Mountain God can open the array. We have priority." Tianxia Guihuo frowned and said, "Does that contradict what I said? Even after we open the restriction, the Mountain Ghost camp can still charge one array."

Niulanshan Xiaoxiannu shook her head. "Each array can only have fourteen people. We have more people. As long as we ensure that the number of people entering the array is greater than the number of people in the Mountain Ghost camp, they won't be able to specialize in one location." Tianxia Guihuo sneered. "Does that contradict what I said? If I were the Mountain Ghost camp, I would first send people into the array to gather information and confirm which array Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhao Chenghuang are in. Then, I would send A Yi, Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi, Wei Wo Du Zun, Jiu Lou Yu, and Tianxia Jie Bai!!!!! these few experts as a team to select the array that doesn't have those two. In this way, the Mountain Ghost camp will definitely win." "So you haven't realized the seriousness of the situation yet?" "What a rabble! I overestimated your intelligence!" Tianxia Guihuo thought disdainfully. Of course, he wasn't an ordinary fire master, so he could only think this in his heart and wouldn't say it out loud. "This..." Everyone thought carefully about it, and it was indeed the case, and their hearts sank.

Except for Guan Ya, Zhao Chenghuang, Guo He Zu, and a few others, the rest hadn't reacted yet. Tianxia Guihuo stopped wasting words with them and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun. "You must have an idea, or at least you've already seen it, otherwise you wouldn't have gathered us to discuss a strategy." The others, who were in thought, suddenly lit up. "That's right, since Yuanshi Tianzun is here, why bother racking our brains? He can formulate a plan, and we can just fill in the gaps." If his plan didn't work, with everyone's wisdom, they could see it immediately. Zhang Yuanshi was silent for more than ten seconds, then said, "As Tianxia Guihuo said, the situation is a bit tricky. I strongly suspect that the副本 (fùběn - instance/copy) mission is being adjusted based on the real-time situation of the killing 副本 (fùběn - instance/copy). Like the two-hour 'invincible time.'"

"Although the 副本 (fùběn - instance/copy) can't let us end the battle early before entering the final stage, the two-hour invincible time is reasonable. But in this stage of reinforcing the array, the Mountain Ghost camp's mission conditions are clearly restraining our numerical advantage."

Because they have fewer people, as long as they send one in, they can summon the monster from the Blood Pool, offsetting their numerical disadvantage. And the Mountain God camp, with its large number of people, has to face such a tricky problem.

It feels like there's an invisible hand constantly adjusting the difficulty of the mission to bring both sides into a balanced state. Jiang Jingwei patted Guan Ya's thigh and said with a silly look, "Hey, get to the point." The fire masters nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuanshi glanced at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces and smiled.

"Don't be nervous. There are always more solutions than problems. If you think about it from another angle, balance also means that we have opportunities and methods. It just depends on whether everyone can find them." After a word of comfort, he went straight to the point. "To solve this problem, we need to make full use of our advantages. We have two advantages: first, we decide when to activate the grand array; second, our numbers are double that of the Mountain Ghost camp. We have thirty-six people, and the Mountain Ghost camp has eighteen people."

"First, we randomly select an array and arrange for twelve colleagues to enter it. Then the Mountain Ghost camp can only enter two people. In the Transcendent Realm, even if An Jun and the Female Marshal join forces, they cannot defeat twelve elites of the same level. I guess the Mountain Ghost camp will most likely give up directly."

ahzww.

"Then, we arrange for another eleven people to enter the second array. The ratio of people here is 11:3. Demon Lord and the Female Marshal, plus me, can still take on eleven people, but the Mountain Ghost camp doesn't have such characters. Although they have trump cards, they definitely won't risk using them in this array." "Next, we arrange for another nine people to enter the third array. At this time, the ratio of people is 9:5. Finally, we arrange for five people in the fourth array." Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanshi said, "The Mountain Ghost camp's first target will definitely be the fourth array with only five people, and the second target will be the third array guarded by nine people. Therefore, the third array must be guarded by the elites among the elites, such as Sun Miaomiao, Guo He Zu, and Tianxia Guihuo." "In this way, they will most likely place their bets on the fourth array."

Hearing this, even the fire masters understood that Yuanshi Tianzun was relying on the arrangement of numbers to artificially choose the final battle location to be in the fourth array. He broke the Mountain Ghost camp's advantage of 'concentrating forces for a fixed breakthrough'.

The Mountain Ghost camp would definitely choose the fourth array because they have nine people, plus the so-called trump card. Even if they know this is the Mountain God camp's plan, they will gladly accept the invitation. This is a conspiracy in broad daylight!

Of course, if they choose the third array to avoid Yuanshi Tianzun, then there's no need to be afraid, because the third array has nine elites among the elites: Sun Miaomiao, Tianxia Guihuo, Guo He Zu, and the other Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect. Nine against five, the chances of winning are also very high.

Zhang Yuanshi looked at his companions with joyful expressions and reminded them:

"However, to implement this plan, the colleagues in the first and second arrays need to be mentally prepared. You will most likely not encounter enemies and will not be able to kill enemies to earn points. The hope of advancing to Saint is slim." A fire master shrugged. "It's better than dying. The third and fourth arrays are going to be life-threatening. If I can't do it in the middle of the year, I'll come again at the end of the year." The situation has become very clear. They don't have many choices. Living and advancing to Saint, rational people know what to choose. While there is life there is hope, if you die, everything is over.

In this way, I can also protect the survival rate of the official Xingzhe as much as possible!!! Zhang Yuanshi said, "Then let's start assigning positions. Those who volunteer to enter the first array, raise your hands."

All the rogue cultivators raised their hands, plus some official Xingzhe who knew their own limitations. Zhang Yuanshi picked out twelve people and said, "Those who volunteer to enter the second array, raise your hands." He then picked out eleven people. "Those who volunteer to enter the third array, raise your hands." Only Guan Zhong Kui Bao and Tianxia Guihuo raised their hands this time.

You guys have no self-awareness at all!!! Zhang Yuanshi silently complained and said, "All five members of the Taiyi Sect, except for Zhao Chenghuang, will enter the third array. Guo He Zu and the Undead Knight will also go in, making it exactly nine people." Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "The fourth array will be guarded by me, Zhao Chenghuang, Guan Ya, Jiang Jingwei, and Asano Ryo." "Why is it this islander!" Sun Miaomiao puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, glaring at Zhang Yuanshi with her big eyes.

"First of all, there are me and Zhao Chenghuang as Night Watchers. Although you are powerful, your profession is redundant and doesn't have much significance. Secondly, Asano Ryo can unleash weak level four power at crucial moments. Her role is very important." Zhang Yuanshi explained, then looked at Asano Ryo, "Any questions?" "I, I will definitely do my best!!" The island country JK felt excited, feeling that she was being valued by the young mainland genius, and trembled, sadly bidding farewell to "Otou-san" and "Okaa-san" in her heart.

Zhang Yuanshi nodded with satisfaction. As for Jiang Jingwei, Guan Ya, and Zhao Chenghuang, he didn't ask for their opinions. The former two were too close to him and would definitely agree with his arrangements. As for Zhao Chenghuang, that person was too arrogant and would not retreat.

"Then that's the decision!" Zhang Yuanshi raised his wooden bowl and said loudly, "Everyone, I hope we can meet again in reality. I offer this water as wine to everyone!" Everyone raised their wooden bowls. A dozen kilometers away, in an abandoned supermarket, the members of the Mountain Ghost camp were also drinking water and eating meat.

Jiu Lou Yu was lying peacefully on the ground, with a white cloth covering his body and face, like a corpse.

His spirit body left his body and floated in the supermarket, overlooking Bai Wujinji, who was full of enthusiasm and was giving a pep talk (brainwashing) to the evil professions. "How much effort and sweat have we put in to advance to Saint and for this killing instance?" "Over the years, the law-abiding camp has humiliated us, encircled and suppressed us, and how many blood debts have we borne?" "The Mountain God camp needs to guard four arrays, and we only need to occupy one. Those law-abiding fools, once dispersed, are just a rabble. How can they resist our attack?" "Now the advantage is on our side, and we still have trump cards. Joining a treacherous Yuanshi Tianzun at this time is a path to death!!" The members of the Mountain Ghost camp echoed enthusiastically, their faces filled with joy.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Bai Wujinji, that guy, is worthy of being a bewitching demon. His brainwashing ability is very good!!!! Jiu Lou Yu watched silently. The white cloth covering his body was given to him by Dark Night Rose, a prop of the Night Watcher profession. The function of the prop is that when the white cloth covers the body, you will have self-healing abilities comparable to a Night Watcher.

There are two costs: one is that during the healing period, the spirit body leaves the body, and the body has no ability to defend against danger; and the second is that for the next seven days, your days and nights will be reversed, and your schedule will be disrupted. Seeing that the pep talk was almost done, Bai Wujinji said, "Our advantages are too obvious. The Mountain God camp will definitely try to break our advantages. There's no doubt that Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhao Chenghuang, and that alternative fire master all have this ability." Kou Beiyue actively asked, "How will they break our advantages?" Without waiting for Bai Wujinji to answer, the little fatty explained to his boss in advance, "We only have eighteen people. If we are divided into four teams, then each team will only have about four people, and each array can accommodate up to fourteen people. We are outnumbered. Going there is just courting death." "The correct approach is to make targeted deployments based on the Mountain God camp's personnel arrangements." Speaking of this, he looked at everyone and said, "I think there are two points that must be agreed upon. First: I, A Yi, Bai Wujinji, Jiu Lou Yu, Tianxia Jie Bai, and Ta Sui Ling Xiao are the six people that must be in a group." "This is the only way to ensure success." "Second, Yuanshi Tianzun is cunning and has many props. He also shot my boss's ding-ding. He is evil and not a good thing. Therefore, it is best to avoid the array he is in." His proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Bai Wujinji nodded slowly and said, "That makes sense. We need to understand the Mountain God camp's whereabouts now, so gathering information is necessary. Leave this work to the wood spirits." Wei Wo Du Zun looked at the two wood spirits in the team and said, "First, you manipulate the animals and keep an eye on the people in the Mountain God camp. Once Jiu Lou Yu has repaired his injuries, we will act immediately." A Yi is a witch doctor with self-healing abilities. Bai Wujinji is a bewitching demon who can devour the blood of an animal to repair his injuries. And the illusionists, after sleeping for a while, have mostly recovered their injured spiritual power.

And Jiu Lou Yu is a scout who has no defense, no healing, and can only rely on the wood spirits and props to repair his broken bones. The speed is a bit slow.

Time passed quickly. An hour later, the two wood spirits returned and said, "The people in the Mountain God camp have set off." At this time, Jiu Lou Yu had recovered from his injuries and was in high spirits. Bai Wujinji got up and said, "Follow them!" A group of people followed far behind the Mountain God camp, monitored by birds in the sky, wild dogs and rats on the ground. After half an hour of trekking, they arrived at an abandoned subway station in the city center. "The people in the Mountain God camp have gone in, gone in!!!! 12 people." Bai Wujinji sneered and said, "Want to rely on numerical advantage? What does it matter if we give up the subway station." Then, they followed the people in the Mountain God camp to a dilapidated bank building. "The people in the Mountain God camp have gone in, gone in!!!! 11 people." "Give up the bank building, scout again and report." City center shopping mall.

"The Mountain God camp went in with nine people this time." "Who are the nine people?" "Night Watchers from the Taiyi Sect, Guan Zhong Kui Bao, Tianxia Guihuo, the Undead Knight, and Guo He Zu!!" After the wood spirit finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, "The last five people are Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhao Chenghuang, Guan Ya, Jiang Jingwei, and Asano Ryo. They are going to guard the last array." "Which one should we attack?" This is something that can be deduced directly.

Yuanshi Tianzun and the five of them will definitely guard the last array – the abandoned park. Abandoned park or city center shopping mall, choose one.

The five people in the abandoned park are all top experts, but there are only five people. Our side can enter nine players.

The nine people in the city center shopping mall, although not as good as Yuanshi Tianzun and others, also have elites among the elites such as Sun Miaomiao and Tianxia Guihuo, as well as Night Watchers who are not inferior to evil professions. In addition, Night Watchers have Yin corpse spiritual servants (Yin corpses do not belong to Lingjing Xingzhe, but belong to props and do not take up places). There seem to be nine people, but in reality, there are a dozen or twenty people, and our side can only enter five people. The number difference is huge. How to choose, the members of the Mountain Ghost camp couldn't help but look at Bai Wujinji.
