Li Yan helplessly discovered that what Wei Chongran said was exactly the same as what he thought. The opponent deliberately let his team take over the defense easily.
Otherwise, if the second team of the "Heavy Front Camp" was still defending that day, breaking through the "Tonggui Ridge" formation would consume more magic crystals from the opponent.
Even during this long period of defense, some Yuanying ancestors of Fengliang Mountain had reacted and began to intervene.
“Several Nascent Soul ancestors will attack at the same time to kill the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, but the area where the valley is located is already the enemy’s hinterland.
However, there is a high possibility that there are other Nascent Soul-level demon generals in the surrounding area, and the probability of success of this matter is actually less than 30%.
The main reason here is that as long as we reveal a little bit of our intention, the demon general guarding the magic weapon will take away the eight magic weapons in an instant when he sees that the situation is not good, leaving us no chance to destroy them.
I don’t know if you are aware that when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he already has the ability to teleport, and especially when the situation becomes dire, he can even easily abandon his physical body and escape with his Nascent Soul.
Once the Nascent Soul leaves the body, its teleportation speed is twice that of the physical body. Not to mention being able to kill him, even seriously injuring him is difficult.
Therefore, if the Nascent Soul-level demon general who is guarding the magic weapon sees that the situation is not good and intends to run away, the chances of being stopped are slim.
At that time, as long as there is a movement, the other Nascent Souls of the opponent will be alerted and will even attract the attention of the opponent's Divine Transformation cultivators.
Under that situation, it is possible to trigger the start of a real decisive battle between the two sides ahead of time, but some of our plans have not yet achieved their goals.
To put it bluntly, we haven't completed our preparations yet, and a decisive battle now is definitely not the result we want."
Having said this, Wei Chongran stopped talking, looked at Li Yan, and then his eyes revealed hesitation.
Li Yan suddenly felt a dry mouth and sweat broke out on his body. He felt something was wrong and was extremely nervous.
"Master... Master, you wouldn't..."
Wei Chongran's eyes showed even more hesitation.
"Li Yan, just now, the Yuanying Patriarch said a few things in his voice transmission before he left, one of which was about destroying that magic weapon.
They had seen your method of concealing your aura before, they just didn't notice a small cultivator like you and were almost deceived by you.
Therefore, the original plan to destroy the powerful magic weapon of the demon clan has changed. They want you to take a few people to complete this task..."
Before Wei Chongran finished speaking, Li Yan felt his head buzzing.
"Lead a few people to destroy the magic weapon in the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivator!"
This was a mission that meant he would definitely die. What was the difference between that and committing suicide? Moreover, he didn't even know the relationship between the eight magic weapons and the altar.
Is there any formation protecting the altar outside? How could they break the outer formation under the nose of a Nascent Soul
In the past, monks would not even be able to get close to the altar. The chance of being exposed was 99% high, so one can imagine the fate that awaited them.
“Master, I am not trying to shirk this mission. Even the Yuanying ancestors are not sure about this. Even if I risk my life, I cannot complete it.
It would not be a pity if the disciples and others died then, but that would alert the enemy and they would easily know our intentions, which would only make them more vigilant. If they want to destroy us again in the future, it would be extremely difficult. "
Li Yan, who was usually calm, suddenly lost his composure this time. Before Wei Chongran could finish his words, he started to refuse.
Are you kidding? He was already risking his life to be able to participate in this war, otherwise he would have thought of hiding in a secret realm with his family.
But if we do that, it will be a problem for our mortal relatives to survive in the secret realm.
Pingtu often falls into a deep sleep. His parents are not like him who can survive without food or drink and just rely on meditation and Qi training.
Moreover, he himself needs to practice frequently. He cannot keep his parents and other relatives locked up in the secret room all the time. If they leave the secret room to cultivate the land and plant crops, there is a great possibility that they will fall into the mouths of monsters and become food.
Secondly, what about Gong Chenying and Zhao Min
Especially Zhao Min. Although she usually has a deep grudge against her master and his mistress, if she is really asked to give up her parents and follow him to escape the disaster, she probably won't be willing to do so given her stubborn personality.
To take a step back, bringing so many people into the secret realm would inevitably increase the possibility of exposing Pingtu's existence. This is related to the Five Immortal Sect, and Pingtu would probably not be willing to do that.
For many reasons, Li Yan had to try his best to use his own strength to complete what he could for the sake of his family.
But the current mission has long been beyond his ability. How could he be willing to die for no reason
Wei Chongran took a breath when he saw him like this.
“I’m just asking for your opinion. You can listen to me and we can talk about the rest later.
I have been thinking about this matter just now, but this is the decision of the Yuanying Patriarch. I must at least explain it to you clearly, so that if someone asks you about it in the future, you will let it slip without knowing the whole story. Don't worry, if you don't want to, I will go to find your master, after all, there is a Yuanying Patriarch in my Xiaozhu Peak.
Although in the current war, all cultivators are said to obey all orders from above, but your master still values you very much. At least what happened to you in Xuanqing Temple is worthy of him coming forward to take responsibility for this matter for you.
If you hadn't destroyed the demon clan's plan, it might not just be the demon clan army coming through the South China Sea channel, but they might have opened another channel somewhere else."
The hesitation in Wei Chongran's eyes had disappeared, and his tone became more and more calm. After listening to what Wei Chongran said, Li Yan's emotions gradually calmed down.
The excitement and panic just now were indeed his truest reaction, but what the master said was true, at least we should listen to him finish, and Wei Zhonghou’s subsequent words also gave Li Yan hope.
Seeing Li Yan calm down so quickly and his breathing became steady, Wei Chongran was very impressed by this. If such a thing happened to him, his blood would surge and his mood would be unsettled.
“The Yuanying Patriarch’s plan is this: he wants you to lead a few people to approach that area because there are a large number of traitors who have defected to the demon clan and are on guard in the periphery and in the valley.
It was still the same reason. Although the number of foundation-building cultivators was not everywhere, there were still many of them, and it was difficult to attract the attention of mid- and high-level cultivators.
Especially the Nascent Soul cultivators, in their eyes you are no better than an ant and pose no threat to them at all. You are just some chores and trivial matters that cannot be done by a Nascent Soul cultivator himself.
Therefore, in terms of safety, the presence of you guys is actually far greater than the consequences brought about by the presence of mid- to high-level monks.
Therefore, there is still a slight chance to sneak into the valley, just like sneaking into Zhouyang Town.
If you can reach this step, the success rate will reach about 30%. By then, you will carry a magic weapon bestowed by our Nascent Soul Ancestor.
As long as you can quietly place this magic weapon near the altar, your mission will be completed.
Then, if you can get more than 500 miles away from the valley within half an hour, you don’t have to worry about what happens next, just find a way to get back.
Moreover, there will be Nascent Soul ancestors following you secretly along the way, and if you really encounter danger, they will come to the rescue.
This is all the information that I just received, and now you know it. "
Wei Chongran frowned. How could he want to take on such a task? However, as the person in charge of Fengliang Mountain, he still had to carry out the orders from above.
Although, after seeing Li Yan's strength with his own eyes, he had a moment of the absurd thought that Li Yan might be able to complete this task, but the probability of Li Yan's death was of course greater.
If this matter were assigned to him, he would do it without hesitation.
Wei Chongran certainly has no moral principles for the entire Desolate Moon Continent, but for the sake of the sect and for his daughter to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage safely, he can do everything.
Li Yan's concealment skills were too strange, and Wei Chongran couldn't figure it out. After hesitating for a while, he finally let Li Yan make his own decision.
However, he still hoped that Li Yan would not agree to it. Next, he would definitely go to find Master Da Cen and save Li Yan's life at all costs.
A low-level foundation-building cultivator like Li Yan can be abandoned at will by the higher-ups now, and the consequence of not following orders is death.
After seeing that his master seemed to be lost in thought after he finished speaking, Li Yan had regained his composure at this time, but he was still indignant in his heart.
He has always been very cautious, and although he could see that his master really wanted to protect him, he did not dare to show it at the moment.
Don’t underestimate the presence of Wei Chongran. Although he now roughly knows that his master is very powerful, he is not a true Nascent Soul cultivator after all.
There are many Yuanying old monsters who are all-powerful and better than Wei Chongran. Maybe there is one of them who is secretly spying on everything here right now.
If Li Yan behaves too aggressively, not only will he bring disaster upon himself, but he might also implicate his master.
These Yuanying monsters have too many ways to deal with the two of them, and will make them die without knowing it. What will it matter even if Patriarch Da Cen comes forward then
Even if he were to die, could Patriarch Da Cen really fight to the death with cultivators of the same level
Moreover, we are now in the midst of an invasion by demons, and there is no way to avoid the fact that he is disobeying orders. Even if Patriarch Da Cen comes forward, he will not be in the right.
After Li Yan calmed himself down quickly, he figured it all out quickly. He was too weak. Although he seemed to be in the most top sect in the world, what really determined his fate was often the casual words of the strong.
Li Yan thought about how he exposed his strength today. If it happened again, he would still do the same thing and try his best to let his relatives live in peace without knowing it.
Li Yan calmed down and there was not much grief and anger on his face. He thought again about what Wei Chongran had just said. This time the mission was not for him to destroy the magic weapon directly, but to place a magic weapon near the opponent's altar.
However, there is a Nascent Soul-level demon general stationed there. No matter from which perspective, all those who go to carry out the mission are most likely to die.
As for the so-called Nascent Soul ancestor following secretly, it is true that he followed. Otherwise, once his group brought the thing that could destroy the opponent's magic weapon and placed it near the altar, who would activate it
But as for whether the Yuanying Patriarch would come to the rescue if Li Yan and the others were really in danger, Li Yan didn't believe it at all.
In the eyes of those Yuanying ancestors, they were just ants with a little bit of use value. When Li Yan and others were in danger, the Yuanying ancestors would only think about how to complete the next plan instead of thinking about saving Li Yan and others first.
