Chapter 2317: Momentum of a Swift Advance

In response, Sikong Jing calmly replied, "Of course, Chai Jiu might see through our plan, but we can’t worry about that now. We have only this one path to take."

"We can only gamble that Chai Jiu can’t guess our direction of action..."

Sikong Jing’s voice was clear and powerful.

"And how to maximize our chances of success, of course, is to act swiftly, and not delay until the Absolute Array Gate closes."

"At the same time, we must create a situation of a grand battle intent to break through the Absolute Array Gate, to deceive Chai Jiu."

"There has never been a one hundred percent certain victory, sometimes what you strive for is just two hours, or even fifteen minutes."

With Sikong Jing’s continuous encouraging words, the people of the Yu Vein finally nodded heavily.

Subsequently, Sikong Jing began to strategize with the core of ’Reverse Cang Vein’.

First, he ordered the gathering of all Demons on the sea surface around Demon Rock Island.

Sikong Jing’s first war order was precisely as it appeared, a scene of grand battle intent.

This order was without any concealment, intended to make Chai Jiu believe they would break through the Absolute Array Gate within a month... While the Demons were gathering, Sikong Jing continuously publicly instructed them on the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique.

To allow the Demons to continuously break through!

That is, to let the terrifying momentum of the Demon’s breakthroughs also be perceived by Chai Jiu and others.

Now the war has been going on for several days, the Demons who were previously on Divine Demon Island have basically stopped making breakthroughs, meaning that all Holy Martial Demons and ordinary Demons have reached a bottleneck.

But there are many Demons gathered here who have not yet made breakthroughs, some have just started cultivating the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique.

Therefore, under Sikong Jing’s guidance, Demon Rock Island was almost shrouded in the aura of the Demons’ frenzied breakthroughs.

In this aura...

Sikong Jing found Ying Sanmeng again and said firmly, "Ying Sect Master, now you need to set off immediately with the eight Holy Martial Demons I’ve arranged to sneak out of the Absolute Array, and I will spread rumors saying... you are in seclusion to break through the third Great Realm of Divine Martial."

Upon hearing this, Ying Sanmeng trembled slightly and asked, "So soon?"

"It must be fast, it must be rapid..."

Sikong Jing nodded without hesitation, "As I said before, we must catch Chai Jiu off guard."

Gulp...

Ying Sanmeng quickly swallowed, but still nodded determinedly with gritting teeth.

As Ying Sanmeng was preparing to depart, Sikong Jing asked in a low voice, "By the way, Ying Sect Master, do you have a Transmission Stone from the prison? If you do, this battle will certainly be easier."

To this, Ying Sanmeng replied no, the control of the prison had been completely seized by the Cang Lineage a year ago.

Hearing this answer, Sikong Jing could only smile bitterly.

If there were a Transmission Stone, after Ying Sanmeng completed his raid on the Cangyu Sect, he could use it to send some Holy Martial Demons directly from the prison into the Cangyu Sect.

That would be much simpler...

"Without a Transmission Stone, Ying Sect Master will have to act on his own inside the Cangyu Sect; I can only command you through the body of the Divine Martial Ancestor, but there’s not much I can do specifically."

"Be very careful, retreat immediately if things look bad, don’t delay."

With Sikong Jing’s words, Ying Sanmeng nodded with gritting teeth again and set off without saying more.

Watching Ying Sanmeng leave with eight Holy Martial Demons on their mission...

Teng Yue, staying on Demon Rock Island, approached Sikong Jing with a wry smile and said, "Black Scale Brothers, I’m embarrassed. If our Yu Vein had more say in the Cangyu Sect, this battle would be much simpler for you, wouldn’t it?"

Sikong Jing nodded in agreement without comforting, the difficulty of this battle is indeed significant.

You could say, even if Sikong Jing’s strategies are all successful, the action in the Cangyu Sect still depends on Ying Sanmeng himself.

Whether Ying Sanmeng could accomplish this is beyond Sikong Jing’s control.

This Ying Sect Master is a good person, with strong combat power now, but his character and wisdom are quite another story indeed.

Looking at the wry smile on Sikong Jing’s face, Teng Yue’s expression was also slightly awkward.

He continued with wry smiles, "Black Scale Brothers, our Yu Vein has been holding back your progress, it’s really difficult for you."

It has been this way from the start...

The hostage exchange, despising the Demons, those Yu Vein trash, the lack of battle intent one by one, all needed Black Scale Brothers to resolve, if not holding back, what was it?

If it weren’t for Black Scale Brothers being formidable, there’s no way they could have gotten this far.

And Teng Yue also noticed, that the eight Holy Martial Demons sent to Uncle Ying by the Black Scale Brothers were the smartest and most decisive among the Holy Martial Demons, to prevent any blunders by Uncle Ying that could be led by a Holy Martial Demon.

In other words, it was another act of holding back Black Scale Brothers.

Forcing Black Scale Brothers to dispatch powerful Holy Martial Demons to Uncle Ying.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing just smiled calmly and said, "The decisive and formidable figures of the Yu Vein have been eradicated by the Cang Lineage, haven’t they? I can understand the current situation of the Yu Vein."

"At least Brother Teng is still here, Brother Teng has helped a lot."

Opening his mouth, Teng Yue obviously knew this was just Black Scale Brothers comforting him.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing looked up at the sky and continued to speak...

"Where there’s bad, there’s good..."

"If there were strong individuals within the Yu Vein, how could I command you freely like this now?"

"Strong characters aren’t a problem, the real challenge is those with strong characters but lacking skills trying to interfere."

These words made Teng Yue blink and instantly understand.

That is if Ying Sanmeng had a strong character but weak abilities, it would be counterproductive for Black Scale Brothers.

Without absolute command over the war order, the current effect couldn’t be achieved.

That being said, Sikong Jing suddenly shifted the topic, "Brother Teng, there’s something I need to tell you, stop calling me Black Scale Brothers, my real name is Sikong Jing, you can call me by my name."

Until now, Sikong Jing revealed his true name.

His origin within the absolute formation is still a big secret, temporarily he couldn’t reveal he wasn’t a Demon of the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain, so he hadn’t disclosed his name, until confirming there were no issues with Teng Yue.

Not waiting for Teng Yue to react, Sikong Jing continued...

"We must prepare for the worst regarding Ying Sect Master’s action."

"So now I need to start preparing my own setup to ensure that the Demons and the Yu Vein can break through the Absolute Formation Gate."

"That is, even if Chai Jiu and his Divine Martial body are still guarding outside, we must guarantee the escape."

As he finished speaking, Sikong Jing bid farewell to Teng Yue and left.

Teng Yue stood dumbfounded in place, understanding Sikong Jing’s meaning...

Uncle Ying’s secret aim to capture the Cangyu Sect is intended to lure away Chai Jiu’s body outside the Absolute Formation Gate, but it might not work, so they must ensure they can break through regardless.

Otherwise, all actions would be... futile.
