Chapter 93: Mo Yuetian’s Strategy
Zhang Yuhe raced along, continuously annihilating multiple squads of the Demon Clan Army.
Each time he struck, it was as fast as thunder and as urgent as fire.
Before the Demon Clan Army could react, he had completely wiped them out.
As a result, even after he struck repeatedly, those Demon Clan Mahayana Cultivators still hadn't noticed anything unusual.
…
Yuanxing Prefecture, Ming Province.
A massive Demon Clan force was advancing westward in a mighty procession.
Above the procession, a magnificent palace hovered.
The palace followed the Demon Clan force, rapidly moving forward.
In a certain hall within the palace.
Mo Yuetian sat at the head position.
The twelve Demon God Guards sat quietly below.
Zhao Mingyue, the leader of the Demon God Cult, was also among them.
At this moment, Zhao Mingyue felt somewhat anxious.
She was very puzzled by Mo Yuetian's actions.
With the Demon Clan's strength so formidable, why not advance quickly and directly attack the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate?
Instead, they were advancing slowly, as if on an outing rather than an invasion.
She had once suggested that the Demon Clan Mahayana Cultivators lead some elite troops, break away from the main force, and launch a surprise attack on the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate.
If that were done, perhaps within half a year, there would be no more resistance in all of Yu Fantian.
However, Mo Yuetian completely dismissed her suggestion.
This left her feeling very disappointed.
Zhao Mingyue didn't know what Mo Yuetian was worried about. Could there be some terrifying existence within the Dao Saint Sect?
That made Mo Yuetian unwilling to take risks.
Was that why he adopted a strategy of steady advancement?
In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Mingyue who was puzzled; even the twelve Demon God Guards
felt somewhat dissatisfied with Mo Yuetian's actions.
They thought Mo Yuetian was wasting too much time.
Didn't Mo Yuetian understand the principle that delay breeds change?
At this moment, the first Demon God Guard, Wu Tian, who was sitting below, spoke up urgently.
"Palace Lord, if we advance this slowly, when will we ever reach the Dao Saint Sect? Why not let me lead a contingent and set off first to directly take the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate."
"Yes, Palace Lord, why not split up and take down the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate first."
"Right, as long as we breach the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate, all resistance against the Saint Clan in Yu Fantian will cease."
…
After the first Demon God Guard, Wu Tian, spoke, the other Demon God Guards also chimed in to persuade.
However, Mo Yuetian remained unmoved. He spoke calmly.
"Don't think of the Dao Saint Sect as so simple. As a legacy passed down by Immortals, if it could be destroyed so easily, would it have lasted until now?"
"But Palace Lord, doesn't the Dao Saint Sect only have one Mahayana Cultivator left? How could Feng Xiaotian alone withstand our attacks?"
At this point, everyone turned their gaze to Zhao Mingyue, who was standing at the back.
The news that the Dao Saint Sect had only one Mahayana Cultivator left was provided by Zhao Mingyue.
They had tried to verify it these past days, and it seemed the information was indeed true.
Seeing that everyone was still stubborn, Mo Yuetian slowly said.
"What we want is the entire Yu Fantian, not just to defeat the Dao Saint Sect."
"Besides, who knows what tricks the Dao Saint Sect's Immortal Ancestor left behind in the mountain gate?"
"If we attack the mountain gate and Feng Xiaotian activates the means left by the Immortal, do you have confidence in stopping it?"
"This…"
Hearing Mo Yuetian's words, everyone fell silent.
No one dared to underestimate the methods of an Immortal.
Even if it was a trick left by an Immortal a million years ago, once activated, they would likely find it hard to survive.
But would the Dao Saint Sect's Ancestral Master really have left behind some trick?
No one could guarantee that.
Logically, the possibility was indeed significant.
Just like their Demon God Palace, which could directly communicate with the Upper Realm. In an emergency,
Immortals from the Upper Realm could even send people down to support the Lower Realm.
Of course, this would come at a great cost.
Moreover, support from the Upper Realm had significant limitations.
Rumor had it that at most, Demon Clan of Mahayana Perfection could descend, but Demon Gods comparable to Immortals could not descend to support.
They didn't know what strength the Dao Saint Sect's backing in the Immortal Realm had.
Or whether they could descend to support.
If the Dao Saint Sect's backing in the Immortal Realm could indeed descend to support,
then directly attacking the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate would indeed be very dangerous.
If a few Mahayana Perfection Cultivators descended from the Immortal Realm and they went straight to their doorstep,
wouldn't that be delivering themselves?
And even without support from the Upper Realm, they couldn't underestimate the means left by Immortals.
For example, the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate Formation was likely left by an Immortal back then.
What power those Formations possessed was unknown to anyone now.
They might even trap all of them.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Mo Yuetian nodded with satisfaction and continued speaking.
"Let's not rush. First, on the territory we've already controlled, we'll purge the local living beings, then transplant Demon Trees to convert the Spiritual Qi of Yu Fantian into Devilish Qi, turning it into a Demon Domain."
"Once we've converted most of Yu Fantian into a Demon Domain, we won't have to worry about the Dao Saint Sect turning things around."
"By then, this world will eventually be ours."
"The Palace Lord is wise."
After hearing Mo Yuetian's explanation, everyone couldn't help but admire it.
Although Mo Yuetian's method seemed clumsy and slow to show results,
it was very safe.
Once they converted the entire Yu Fantian into a Demon Domain, Cultivators would be unable to survive in this realm.
Then even if the Dao Saint Sect's backing from the Immortal Realm descended to support, they could no longer change the situation.
However, completely reversing the Spiritual Qi of a realm into Devilish Qi would take a long time.
But they indeed didn't need to rush.
The Demon Race had long Lifespans; even if it took ten thousand years, they could afford to wait.
Seeing that the Demon Clan Mahayana Cultivators quickly reached a consensus again, Zhao Mingyue, standing at the back, couldn't help but frown slightly.
But she didn't speak.
Due to the disparity in strength and being a human,
she had no say among the Demon Clan.
Mo Yuetian kept her by his side only to obtain more intelligence.
Suddenly, Zhao Mingyue pulled out a mirror, cast a spell, and lines of text appeared in the mirror.
This was the latest information sent by cult members in Ling Province.
After carefully examining it, Zhao Mingyue quickly said to Mo Yuetian.
"Reporting to the Palace Lord, I've just received news that the Dao Saint Sect is building a fortress at the Flowing Cloud Corridor in Ling Province, attempting to block the Saint Clan Army's advance."
"Hmm?"
Mo Yuetian waved his hand, and a huge map appeared before everyone.
Everyone looked at the map and quickly located the Flowing Cloud Corridor.
Looking at the terrain of the Flowing Cloud Corridor, all the Demon Clan furrowed their brows.
"This place is a bit troublesome. Once the Dao Saint Sect blocks the Flowing Cloud Corridor, we won't be able to advance westward."
"Can't we go around through the sides?"
"Of course not. I've heard of the reputation of the Shattered Moon Void and the Boundless Sea since a hundred thousand years ago. Those two places are completely dead zones. Even Immortals cannot venture deep inside, let alone us."
Mo Yuetian quietly looked at the map.
After a moment, he said calmly.
"Ignore it. We'll advance steadily. Even if the Dao Saint Sect holds the Flowing Cloud Corridor, they'll only be guarding a small part of Yu Fantian."
"As long as we occupy the area east of the Flowing Cloud Corridor, we'll have taken most of Yu Fantian."
"That's right. Once we convert the entire area east of the Flowing Cloud Corridor into a Demon Domain, the Dao Saint Sect can only struggle in vain."
Just then,
the first Demon God Guard, Wu Tian, suddenly took out a mirror to check and exclaimed in surprise.
"Not good! Several of our squads have suddenly lost contact."
