Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 369 Strategies for Dealing with the Enemy
Yixian Lake, Fuyun Island.

Since they had nothing else to do, Wen Daoxian took Yunyi around to see the sights.

Because Yun Yi was Wang Shenlai's disciple, the Wen family treated him without reservation, completely regarding him as one of their own.

As a reclusive family of cultivators, the Wen family has few rules, which is the complete opposite of those cultivation sects.

Moreover, most of the Wen family members cultivate the "Beast Taming Sect" techniques, living in harmony with those demonic beasts and growing together, which is truly rare.

Upon seeing this scene, Yun Yi finally understood why Wen Daoxian had taken the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship alone to venture into the Demon Capital. It was because the Wen family bloodline was thin and it was not advisable for them to show themselves. That was why he founded the Great Wind Alliance and relied on the power of rogue cultivators.

Unfortunately, this tranquil and peaceful secluded place is about to suffer a calamity.

As the two were strolling around the island, Yun Yi couldn't help but remind them, "Bai Ze carries the Heavenly Pillar, which will most likely attract the Overturning Heaven Pavilion."

Unexpectedly, Wen Daoxian said, "It was expected. After deciding to ally with you and fighting a great battle with Xiao Buyi, I knew that the Wen family was facing an inescapable calamity."

"If they want to shatter the Heavenly Pillar, the Overturning Heaven Pavilion will definitely send an Ascension Realm expert. Seven Kill Xiao Buyi is already dead, so we don't know who the Ascension Realm expert who comes this time is."

“This person is my biggest headache. Back then, it took four Dao Integration Realm experts working together to barely restrain Xiao Buyi…” Wen Daoxian shook his head.

Yun Yi said, "Based on past experience, destroying a Heavenly Pillar is not an easy task for someone at the Ascension Realm. When Xiao Buyi attacked the Heavenly Pillars of the Fuyou Sect and Fusheng Temple, he couldn't spare any resources to deal with others."

Wen Daoxian asked, "You wouldn't be thinking of..."

"If Aunt Chun can really separate Bai Ze from Tian Zhu, perhaps we can abandon Tian Zhu and focus all our efforts on dealing with the others in Futian Pavilion, in order to protect the Wen family and Bai Ze."

“There are very few Heavenly Pillars left. I never expected you to come up with such a plan.”

Yun Yi laughed and said, "You have to give up something to gain something. It's not the best way to directly attack an Ascension Realm cultivator. Moreover, according to my speculation, since Ascension Realm cultivators cannot replenish their spiritual energy, they will become weaker every time they make a move in the mortal realm."

Wen Daoxian suddenly realized: "So you plan to simply sell the Heavenly Pillar on Bai Ze's body in exchange for that Ascension Realm cultivator's strength to decrease... But in doing so, wouldn't all the pressure be put on the Righteous Qi Sect?"

"My master once said that if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"Is that really what Elder Sword Immortal Wang meant?"

"Let's just say that." Yun Yi thought to himself that as the number one sect of the righteous path, the Heavenly Master who was in charge of the Righteous Qi Sect had long been at the Ascension Realm. If even he couldn't protect the Heavenly Pillar, then no one could stop the Overturning Heaven Pavilion's plan.

Wen Daoxian sighed, "If the Wen family wants to get out of this mess, it seems this is the only way."

Yun Yi said, "Taking a step back to advance doesn't necessarily mean losing. The most important thing is to take this opportunity to figure out the details of that Ascension Realm cultivator. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight him in the future."

The two hit it off immediately, after all, they were both cunning schemers.

When Wen Daoxian founded the Great Wind Alliance, he even impersonated a Qi Envoy and used a secret technique to create a fake "Wen Daoxian," which almost led to Lan Zhenxin's death.

Yun Yi is a master at killing enemies across realms. Now that he has finally entered the Dao Integration Realm, he is just worried about not having a suitable opponent to test the sharpness of his sword.

The two huddled together to discuss how to deal with the Futian Pavilion if it attacked this area, and how to protect their clansmen and the many demonic beasts.

Until a call came from the direction of Zhenxia Terrace—

"Xiaodao, come here quickly!"

Wen Daoxian's face darkened, and he said dejectedly, "Couldn't our ancestor have given me some face? Over the years, the Wen family members have ridiculed me behind my back quite a bit."

Yun Yi expressed his deep sympathy, saying, "It must be really tough being the head of this family." "I have no choice but to suffer in silence. Well, let's hurry over, or we'll get scolded by the ancestor again."

……

“I have figured out the key point connecting Bai Ze and Tian Zhu. As long as we open it, the two will separate.” Chun Li fiddled with the single horn on Bai Ze’s head. The little guy looked a little dissatisfied, but could only silently endure it.

Yun Yi asked, "What will happen to Bai Ze after we separate? Will his old injuries flare up again?"

"Of course it will. Once it's separated from the Heavenly Pillar, it will return to its dying state. So, I'll not only have to spend time separating them, but I'll also have to treat it afterwards. I definitely won't be able to handle anything else."

Clearly, the nine-tailed fox had foreseen what was about to happen.

Yun Yi said, "Aunt Chun, don't worry, Brother Wen and I have already discussed it. When the time comes, the people of Futian Pavilion will attack Tianzhu with all their might. I will be responsible for holding back the enemy, while Brother Wen will use the Tianhai Treasure Ship to transfer people and monsters here."

Wen Daoxian echoed, "As long as the painting is well protected, Yixian Lake can be relocated elsewhere."

Chunli asked curiously, "Xiaodao told me about the Futian Pavilion before. Back then, the Jiang family of Buzhou Mountain was severely damaged by them. Does this group of people really intend to cause chaos in the Three Realms?"

Yun Yi nodded: "Not only that, they also want to kill the Heavenly Dao."

"It's crazy."

"I wonder what Aunt Chun thinks of the Futian Pavilion?"

"Me? I don't have any opinion. The demon race has been struggling to survive for ten thousand years since it was completely suppressed by the human race. Now I just want to try my best to preserve some of the little ones, because if some bloodlines are cut off... then we will never see them again."

Chunli's attitude was self-evident; as a nine-tailed fox, she stood on the side of the demon race and had no intention of stopping the Overturning Heaven Pavilion.

The demon race's survival is already bad enough, so what if the sky falls? Besides, the demon race is weak, so even if she wanted to do something, she would be powerless to do so.

Why is the nine-tailed fox still only at the Dao Integration Realm after living for thousands of years? Isn't it because of the Great Dao Rules left behind after the human race defeated the demon race?

Demons are forbidden from ascending!
Bai Ze sensed the somewhat heavy atmosphere and let out a few soft whimpers, which was quite adorable.

Chunli gently stroked the little guy and said, "Bai Ze is of utmost importance in continuing the bloodline of the demon race. Once it reaches adulthood, it will naturally awaken all the information of the demon race."

This information includes not only the appearance and form of the monster, but also its vital points.

"But I just talked to it, and it said that it has a connection with you and wants to continue to stay by your side in the future."

Yun Yi asked in surprise, "Why are you following me? To go out and suffer?"

Bai Ze whimpered twice, "Anyway, I'm going to follow you."

In fact, Yun Yi had wondered before why Bai Ze was naturally close to him, and after thinking it over, he came to the conclusion that there was only one reason.

After the little guy merged with the Heavenly Pillar, he naturally felt close to the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and thus often clung to Song Xinci. Yun Yi, having shared intimate moments with his wife and being bound by life and death, also absorbed much of the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

Yun Yi said, "Let's wait until we get through this difficult time before making a decision."

Chunli, however, remained optimistic, saying, "Our Yixian Lake isn't a place you can just come into casually, so there's no need for you and Xiaodao to look so worried."

Yun Yi didn't respond, but he harbored deep doubts about it.
