Conquer the game world

Chapter 33 Strategy
"Boss, the mountain where we were ambushed is just ahead. Be careful, these guys have set a lot of traps." Xiong Batian's team had arrived at the mountain where Ye Feng was, and the squad leader from before reminded Xiong Batian to be careful of the traps.

"Alright, I know, you can go now." Xiong Batian already knew about the traps in the mountains ahead; the squad leader was just reminding him again out of concern.

In fact, given Xiong Batian's personality, he would not normally act so rashly, making such a fuss over a few small fry, especially since the other side had set up a dangerous trap.

However, the situation is different now. The Lion Faction has launched a major attack on the Star Dust Sect, and the two sides have reached a point where it is either you or me who will die. Even though Xiong Batian is calm and cautious, he is still a little impatient. He can't wait to get rid of the small fry who are trying to sneak up on him.

However, now that they had arrived at the entrance and seen the mountain gate barrier open, Xiong Batian began to have some doubts again. He even wondered if it was the right decision to rush in.

"Xiong Batian, they're already here. How much longer are you going to make us wait? They're just a few punks. Hurry up and rush in and kill them. Don't delay the important matter, hmph." At this moment, He Tian started urging again. In He Tian's opinion, Xiong Batian seemed cautious but was actually a coward. Such a situation should be resolved quickly.

"Alright, Gan Xiong and Wang Hu, pass on my orders. You two will lead the team in. Be careful not to spread out too much, lest the enemy pick you off one by one." Urged on by He Tian, ​​Xiong Batian was also a little annoyed. Besides, the situation was already irreversible. Forcibly suppressing his doubts, Xiong Batian still announced the decision to lead the team into the mountains.

Inside the main peak of the Stardust Sect, Shui Xuan hurriedly arrived at the room where Lu Qiao was.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Shui Xuan? What's wrong? Have the enemies invaded?" Lu Qiao seemed quite surprised by Shui Xuan's arrival, as the elders had accumulated some grudges over the years due to their open and covert struggles. They hadn't had much interaction in private.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now take your men and fight your way out with me. I'll give you a piece of my mind if you don't." Shui Xuan replied coldly. "Xing Tianyu is too old to even go out. Are we just going to wait here to die? Brother Lu Qiao, it's up to you whether you take your men and come out with me or continue to wait to die."

After saying that, Shui Xuan ignored Lu Qiao's surprised expression and turned to walk out. No matter what Lu Qiao planned, Shui Xuan had already made up her mind.

Similarly, Shui Xuan also went to see Mu Jianchao and said the same things as Lu Qiao.

Soon, Shui Xuan began to gather his disciples. In reality, Shui Xuan's disciples were not many. Even with the addition of the newly recruited Song Yu, Li Cheng, and Su Yi, there were only about ten people.

"Alright, let's set off now. We'd rather live standing than die kneeling!" Shui Xuan began to mobilize his disciples' will to resist. Sure enough, his speech had an effect, and now the disciples were all full of fighting spirit.

"Brother Shui Xuan, this is not right of you. How could you act so quickly without waiting for me?" Lu Qiao's voice suddenly came. Shui Xuan looked closely and saw that Lu Qiao and Mu Jianchao had also arrived with their disciples.

Lu Qiao and Mu Jianchao had far more disciples than Shui Xuan, and now that several hundred people had gathered, they finally felt like a real team.

Shui Xuan didn't say much, but she nodded to the two of them as a response.

Soon, Shui Xuan and the other two led their respective disciples, opened the great formation, and charged out.

"Sect Leader, Elders Shui Xuan, Mu Jianchao, and Lu Qiao have already departed with their respective disciples," a Star Dust Sect disciple reported to Xing Tianyu.

Xing Tianyu sighed, "So be it. Perhaps our Star Dust Sect is destined for this calamity. Issue my order to immediately assemble all disciples."

"Ah, Sect Leader, do you really want to think twice? The Lion Clan is still out there eyeing us covetously." This Star Dust Sect disciple was clearly someone who didn't want to go out and fight, and was trying his best to dissuade Xing Tianyu.

"Hmph, although there have been some minor conflicts within the Stardust Sect since its founding, they have all been for the benefit of the sect's development." Xing Tianyu glared at the Stardust Sect disciple who was trying to dissuade him.

"The reason why our Stardust Sect has been able to survive for so many years is because of unity. Now that the elders have made up their minds, we must unite and fight together. Otherwise, even if we live on in disgrace, the Stardust Sect might as well perish."

"Yes, Sect Leader." Seeing that there was no way to dissuade Xing Tianyu, he had no choice but to follow the instructions and begin to gather the remaining disciples.

Most of the other Stardust Sect disciples are disciples of the other two elders. Since Cao Mao and Wan Chaowu have not yet returned, they are temporarily led by Xing Tianyu.

"Who on earth is this person, so insidious? I'll catch you and make you wish you were dead!" Xiong Batian was furious, extremely furious.

When Xiong Batian led his large force to attack, he thought the battle would be easily resolved. Even if some traps caused trouble, he believed that with caution, the losses wouldn't be too great. Xiong Batian hadn't expected that Ye Feng's traps were no ordinary traps.

Ye Feng's traps are not only well-concealed and generally undetectable, but he can also activate them at will. Ye Feng always activates the traps when everyone thinks the place is safe and relaxes their vigilance, catching the Lion Faction members off guard and causing them heavy losses.

Xiong Batian, who had originally come with the intention of encircling and annihilating Ye Feng, nearly coughed up blood when he saw the number of losses. If Xiong Batian's resentment could kill, Ye Feng would have died a million times over.

However, Xiong Batian's team eventually broke through the trap blockade and reached the outside of Shuixuan Palace.

Although Ye Feng's traps were powerful, he did not expect the Lion Faction to send so many people to besiege them at once, and he was clearly unprepared in terms of the number of traps.

Moreover, with the Lion Clan on guard and more vigilant, Ye Feng's traps became even more difficult to execute, especially with Xiong Batian, a martial artist at the Agile level, fully on guard. Ye Feng's traps were hardly a threat to him.

This was something Ye Feng hadn't anticipated at first. Before he could make that mistake, Xiong Batian had already led his men to block the door, and now it was too late to run away.

"What should we do, Ye Feng? Why are there so many people? We need to think of something quickly." Seeing so many enemies from the Lion Sect, Wan Hai panicked. He didn't believe that his four men could hold out for long. He had already started praying and now pinned his only hope on Ye Feng coming up with a good solution.

"What can I do?" Ye Feng said helplessly. He had overlooked something. He hadn't expected the Lion Clan to value them so much.

Ye Feng could have used stealth to sneak away, but with the other three around, he couldn't bring himself to abandon them and run away.

"Why don't we just fight them? There's no other way anyway. We'll just use the last trap we set at the entrance to stall for a while. Now we can only hope that the sect leader and senior brothers on the main peak will notice soon and send reinforcements." Ye Feng didn't have any good ideas either, since he had no initiative anymore.

"Those inside, come out and surrender now, or I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me, Xiong Batian, for being merciless." At this moment, the Lion Clan members were already taunting them at the door.

Originally, Xiong Batian could have attacked directly, but thinking of the losses caused by the trap, he felt a pang of heartache. Seeing the Shui Xuan Palace in front of him, Xiong Batian's cautious nature resurfaced.

If there were any dangerous traps inside, even if they succeeded, they would likely suffer some losses. Xiong Batian didn't want to make such pointless losses. His current attempt to persuade them to surrender was simply to lure the people out, thus avoiding certain risks. In truth, regardless of whether they surrendered or not, Xiong Batian wouldn't let any of them go.

“Perhaps we still have a chance.” Upon hearing Xiong Batian’s shout, Ye Feng said to the others. “I’ll go out and meet him.”

After saying this, Ye Feng walked out of the Shui Xuan Palace, but he didn't go far. He stopped just two steps away from the entrance of the Shui Xuan Palace and stopped going any further.

"It seems you are the master here. I truly admire you." Seeing Ye Feng emerge, Xiong Batian smiled amicably. "You lot have finally fallen for my trap. Once you're out of that Water Profound Palace, I'll teach you a lesson."

Seeing that Ye Feng stopped after only two steps at the entrance of Shui Xuan Palace, Xiong Batian became even more suspicious and felt that there might be danger inside.

"May I ask your name?" Xiong Batian asked politely.

"Ye Feng".

"So it's Brother Ye Feng. With your exceptional skills, it's a waste of your talents to be in a place like Star Dust Sect. Why don't you consider joining my Lion Sect? I guarantee that after you join, your status will be second only to mine." Xiong Batian began to lure Ye Feng with promises of power, but whether he was sincere or not, only he himself knew.

"No need. I'm not interested in any status. Chief Xiong, it would be more practical to give me something tangible." Ye Feng said slyly. He didn't care about status; he wanted some rare treasures or peerless weapons.

"Brother Ye Feng, once you join my sect and attain a supreme position, you won't have to worry about not having good things. You don't need to worry about that."

"No way! I've heard you have some Jade Dew Pills that seem pretty good. How about this, give me ten to eat like candy first, and then prepare all the gold, silver, jewels, and beautiful women for me." Ye Feng ignored Xiong Batian's increasingly unpleasant expression and was now rattling off his conditions.
