Seeing that everyone shared the same opinion, Wang Ming glanced at Nanjing Shuo beside him and nodded.
Nanjing Shuo nodded in response, picked up a stack of calligraphy practice sheets from the floor, and passed them down one by one. "This is the battle plan. Everyone can take a look. If you have anything to add, feel free to speak up."
Everyone picked up the battle plan and began to examine it. Yu Daohen also picked up a copy and started reading.
While called a battle plan, it essentially only stated which sect should be stationed where.
The three major sects, naturally, needed no introduction. Each would dispatch disciples to guard one entrance.
However, the number of disciples was astonishingly large.
Only one line was written.
"The entire sect, no reservations."
These eight characters were enough to represent the resolve of the three major sects.
The number of people other sects were to send was also essentially emptying their coffers, with a few words noted at the end.
"In case of any unforeseen circumstances, the entire sect must resist to the death."
However, what surprised Yu Daohen was that his own sect was also included, with four characters noted.
"Maintain order."
These four characters, while seemingly innocuous at first glance, held great depth upon closer consideration.
There were many ways to maintain order, and it depended on which one one chose to adopt.
The plan did not specify how order was to be maintained.
Yu Daohen then began searching for the Corpse Fishermen and the Coffin Bearers sects.
Regardless of whether Da Hu and Su Lai participated, he hoped that the sects they belonged to would suffer minimal casualties.
Flipping to the second page, he saw that the Corpse Fishermen and Coffin Bearers sects were listed at the very top.
The entrances they were to guard were the southeast side of the fifth layer of hell's entrance. The main force on the east side was the Talisman Sect, and on the south side was the Treasure Guardian Sect.
Yu Daohen was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
Good heavens, were these two fellows that lucky?
Not only were they assigned together, but they were also positioned between two first-rate forces.
It was like being a sandwich cookie, with casualties certainly being much lower than other sects.
However, on second thought, this probability was too coincidental.
Could such a coincidence truly happen?
Yu Daohen then looked at the people beside him. Wang Ming and the other two showed no change in their expressions.
It seemed it wasn't their doing.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so calmly.
Yu Daohen then looked at Nanjing Shuo, the only one who could tamper with this plan.
Nanjing Shuo gave him a meaningful smile.
Seeing this smile, Yu Daohen understood everything.
The two old foxes exchanged a knowing glance, and everything was understood without a word.
Yu Daohen sighed inwardly.
As expected, dealing with intelligent people was so much less troublesome.
Before he could even mention it, Nanjing Shuo had already thought of it.
It was like when you take out a lighter and a cigarette after a meal, and he hands you a tissue.
He understood that your next step would be to defecate.
After everyone had reviewed the battle plan, they fell silent.
They had nothing to say.
The three major sects had already written the eight characters, "The entire sect, no reservations."
It was already more than generous that they weren't asked to contribute their entire sect's disciples.
Even so, the situation that needed to be faced still had to be faced.
Li Tianxiang put down the battle plan and asked, "Since the personnel distribution is complete, how should we deal with the entrance to the second layer of hell?"
The conference room fell silent again.
Yes, how should the entrance to the second layer of hell be dealt with?
Although it was only the second layer, there were quite a few malevolent spirits within.
Wang Ming and the others also fell silent.
They too hadn't figured out how to deal with the entrance to the second layer of hell.
With the current manpower, guarding the other three hell entrances was already extremely difficult, and there weren't even enough experts. It was impossible to allocate any to the second layer of hell's entrance.
Meng Da Long extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and asked, "Why don't we send disciples to defend it, directly leaving the Divine Religion with no opportunity?"
Li Tianxiang shook his head and said, "That's unrealistic. To send disciples to defend it, we can only send experts. Sending some low-level fighters would be useless, and the other three hell entrances are the top priorities."
Meng Da Long also fell silent upon hearing this.
Yes, to make the Divine Religion completely unable to take advantage of the second layer of hell, experts would have to be stationed there.
Moreover, it would have to be experts of Black List caliber to ensure complete foolproofness.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Yu Daohen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"It's not that there's no way."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their gaze towards Yu Daohen, who was smoking.
Yu Daohen took a deep drag of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled, his tone calm but filled with dominance.
"It's just that the second layer is unmanned, leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and taken aback.
Although it was only the second layer of hell, the sheer number of malevolent spirits within was not something that Black List experts could resolve.
Shi Bingzhi couldn't help but ask, "Master Yu, are you sure? This is not a joke."
Yu Daohen curled his lips and retorted, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Shi Bingzhi immediately fell silent, but his heart was still filled with confusion.
Something was wrong.
According to the past, Master Yu would definitely not be the one to stick his neck out.
Although he wouldn't put himself outside of it, he would definitely minimize the losses.
But today, he acted contrary to his usual self, directly taking on the responsibility for the second layer of hell's entrance by himself.
After all, even Black List experts would not dare to readily agree to such a task.
Wang Ming, Wang Fubao, Liang Jing, Nanjing Shuo... they were all bewildered.
They knew Yu Daohen's character all too well: he wouldn't act without profit and never made a losing deal.
But his prompt agreement today, was there something fishy going on?
Cui Yiling, Li Tianxiang, Meng Da Long, they all looked at Yu Daohen with newfound respect.
Although their relationship with Master Yu wasn't deep, they had some understanding of his temper and personality.
But his actions today were truly surprising.
To be honest, even Yu Daohen himself didn't know why he agreed.
Perhaps the stone in his heart had finally been laid to rest.
In the past, he never actively took on responsibility because his strength was insufficient.
But more importantly, those two were still waiting for him!
But now it was different. Liu Feng had been rescued, and Qin Muyu could also awaken.
His wish had been fulfilled. Although he didn't know when the guys in the sky would descend.
But before that, he could at least save a few more people.
Yu Daohen never considered himself a good person, and he understood a principle.
With great ability comes great responsibility. He never believed this!
There is no free lunch in this world; you get what you pay for.
The Blazing Fire Sect only needed to maintain order in the rear this time, not engage in front-line combat.
This was a huge advantage!
Having gained such a great benefit, he should also bear some responsibility.
Otherwise, how could the Blazing Fire Sect, when it stood alongside the three major sects in the future, gain the respect of all the martial sects?
The Blazing Fire Sect was now just a step away from entering the ranks of the three major sects.
At such a critical juncture, they absolutely could not bear the stigma of being deserters.
