I run a casino in the immortal realm.

Zheng Yifei listened quietly without interrupting.

"The Xuantian Sect now has more than 160 Nascent Soul cultivators, and its strength has indeed increased dramatically."

But my Heavenly Demon Sect is not to be trifled with either.

Ye Tianqiong sneered: "When the old sect leader underwent his tribulation, the Heavenly Demon Sect also produced more than a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and thirty of them were at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage. Our Nascent Soul strength should be stronger than that of the Profound Heaven Sect. Our weakness is that we have far fewer mid-to-lower-level combat forces than the Profound Heaven Sect."

Zheng Yifei nodded: "It was caused by the large-scale sneak attack by the Xuantian Sect last time, right? Qin Cang's scheming is more ruthless than yours."

Ye Tianqiong looked at Zheng Yifei and said sincerely, "Brother Zheng, you also have a blood feud with the Xuantian Sect, the Qingyun Sect, the Mirage Sect, and Qin Cang's pursuit of you. I would like to ask you and your men to participate in this war."

Zheng Yifei tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

"No problem participating in the war."

Zheng Yifei stopped hammering and looked at Ye Tianqiong: "But I have a condition, or rather, I have a tactical suggestion."

"you say."

"If the Heavenly Demon Sect launches a full-scale attack and directly assaults the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate, the casualties will be extremely heavy."

Zheng Yifei analyzed, "The Xuantian Sect's protective mountain formation is not just for show. In addition, they now have a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if the Heavenly Demon Sect wins a head-on confrontation, it will be a Pyrrhic victory."

Ye Tianqiong frowned: "So what do you mean?"

"The foundation of the Xuantian Sect lies not only in the inner mountain but also in the Xuantian Market. And the core of the Xuantian Market is the mirage."

Zheng Yifei's lips curled into a cold smile: "Qin Cang will have to hand over all his profits to Murong Hao this month, so the resources within the Xuan Tian Sect must be extremely depleted. The lower-level cultivators and those newly promoted Nascent Soul elders are definitely harboring resentment."

"The main battlefield is yours."

Zheng Yifei looked at Ye Tianqiong and revealed his plan: "You will lead the main force of the Heavenly Demon Sect and, at the moment the ceasefire order ends, ostentatiously deploy your troops outside the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate to put maximum pressure on them and draw Qin Cang and the Xuan Tian Sect's main force to the front."

"As for me, I took Su Wanqing and the others and sneaked back to Xuantian Market ahead of time, and then contacted Xu Tianyang and his son to carry out operations from the rear."

Ye Tianqiong's eyes lit up.

"I know the formation and internal structure of the mirage inside and out."

Zheng Yifei continued, "When the battle begins head-on and the Xuantian Sect is weakened internally, I will attack from within. The first step is to take down the Mirage, cutting off the Xuantian Sect's economic lifeline and the central hub of the market formation."

The second step is to directly destroy the foundation of the Xuantian Sect's protective mountain formation from behind the market.

"Working together from within and without."

Ye Tianqiong slammed his hand on the stone table and said excitedly, "As long as the mountain-protecting formation is broken, the Heavenly Demon Sect's iron cavalry can drive straight into our path."

"That's right."

Zheng Yifei nodded: "Moreover, Xu Tianyang hates Qin Cang to the bone. Once the formation breaks and the situation becomes chaotic, I will have Xu Tianyang entangle Qin Cang. We will take care of killing Qin Cang, and you will be in charge of commanding the overall situation and eliminating the remaining forces of the Xuantian Sect."

Ye Tianqiong took a deep breath, and his gaze towards Zheng Yifei held not only awe but also a hint of apprehension.

This tactic is too vicious.

Not only did they take advantage of the Heavenly Demon Sect's direct deterrence, but they also precisely targeted the Xuan Tian Sect's weakness of being depleted of resources.

What's even more terrifying is that Zheng Yifei had calculated every single person and every bit of hatred into his scheme.

"it is good."

Ye Tianqiong raised his teacup: "We'll do as you say. For the next month, you can focus on your cultivation at the Heavenly Demon Sect. Whatever pills or magic treasures you need, the Heavenly Demon Sect's treasury will be open to you."

Zheng Yifei raised his teacup and clinked it against Ye Tianqiong's.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The teacups made a crisp clinking sound.

A decisive battle to destroy a sect and determine the future of the Southern Wilderness was officially set in this pavilion on the edge of a cliff.

For the next month, the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared calm on the surface, adhering to the ceasefire order set by Murong Hao.

But in secret, the Heavenly Demon Sect's massive war machine was already running at full speed.

The weapon workshop was forging magical artifacts day and night, the furnace fire in the alchemy pavilion never went out, and large quantities of healing pills and spirit-exploding pills were distributed to various halls.

Ye Tianqiong personally selected three thousand of the most elite inner disciples and taught them the combined attack formation.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yifei's team was undergoing their final seclusion in the back mountain of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Su Wanqing practiced her swordsmanship on the cliff every day, and her sword intent became more and more pure, even faintly carrying a trace of the destructive aura of lightning tribulation.

Zhao Ling then borrowed the best alchemy room of the Heavenly Demon Sect and used the top-grade spiritual materials provided by the Heavenly Demon Sect to frantically refine pills that could restore spiritual power and unleash potential in a short period of time.

Li Jianfeng and Wang Changsheng were sparring and cooperating. Wang Changsheng's formation was becoming increasingly unpredictable, while Li Jianfeng's sword was becoming faster and faster.

Although Zhao Wenyuan and Zhang Biao had the lowest cultivation levels, they maintained the operation of the mirage.

Xu Muyao followed Su Wanqing to learn how to deliver a fatal blow in actual combat.

Zheng Yifei himself would sit at the highest point of the back mountain every day, breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, constantly refining and integrating the trace of lightning rules in his body until it became a complete part of his body.

Time passed day by day.

There are only three days left until the one-month deadline.

Late at night, behind the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Zheng Yifei opened his eyes and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, half of which was covered by dark clouds.

He stood up and dusted himself off.

"It's time to get going."

He took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to Xu Tianyang, who was lurking outside Xuantian Market.

"Prepare for backup."

Then, he turned and walked towards the place where Su Wanqing and the others were in seclusion.

Half an hour later, the Dark Night Dragon took off and carried Zheng Yifei, Su Wanqing, Li Jianfeng, Wang Changsheng, and Xu Muyao to Xuantian Market.

Zhao Ling, Zhao Wenyuan, and Zhang Biao remained at Xiaoyao Palace.

Zhao Ling is an alchemist, not good at combat. She is the guarantee of the team's strength. Zheng Yifei will not let her take risks. In the future, when they arrive in the Eastern Divine Continent, everyone's cultivation improvement will depend on her.

Zhao Wenyuan is skilled in business and is also a protected individual, serving as the team's cash cow.

Although Zhang Biao is very strong in combat, his overall strength is too weak. He would be cannon fodder in battles between Nascent Soul cultivators, and it would be more suitable for him to help Zhao Wenyuan make money.

The demonic dragon dropped off Zheng Yifei and the others five hundred miles away from Xuantian Market and returned.

Zheng Yifei and his group infiltrated the market in batches, eventually meeting at the Jubao Pavilion in Tiefeng to begin planning the assassination of the Xuantian Sect's high-ranking officials.
