Chapter 723: Chapter 335: Countermeasures and Fire Support
"I’ve heard that Haori Mountain is too domineering, their sect is gone, and they’re barely surviving over there."
"..."
He truly hadn’t expected that Haori Mountain would have such a tricky move to divert disaster elsewhere.
The intelligence from Ye made Zheng Fa increasingly vigilant inside.
He pondered for a moment, looked at the other person, and asked again, "Then why are you looking for me, junior sister..."
"Fourth senior brother, if you’re interested in this bounty, I’m willing to assist you."
Zheng Fa was taken aback, seeing Ye looking at him expectantly.
He quickly understood his little junior sister’s intentions... These days, Zheng Fa was often summoned by the Ninth Elder.
Afraid this junior sister noticed.
Is she here to cling to a powerful thigh now?
He hesitated a bit, considering he had another identity, having a tagalong would be inconvenient.
But thinking about the intelligence the junior sister just provided, he had some other thoughts:
"Junior sister, you’ve got good intentions. Are you well-connected in the sect?"
"I’m quite familiar with everyone in the Chongxuan Sect," Ye said with an air of pride, seemingly quite satisfied. "Fourth senior brother, let me tell you a secret... The Eighth Elder wants to become the Third Elder’s apprentice..."
This took Zheng Fa a while to understand...
The original Great Elder of the Chongxuan Sect not only lost rank but also planned to demote himself significantly.
"Besides, if we former Chongxuan disciples don’t unite, what future will we have?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fa changed his mind again.
"In that case, when I raid the Jiushan Sect, I’ll definitely inform you, junior sister."
Ye was overjoyed upon hearing this and exchanged a few more words with Zheng Fa, then took her leave.
A few days later, Zheng Fa found an opportunity to return to the Jiushan Realm.
"You mean... you, the sect leader of Jiushan Sect, plan to raid Jiushan Sect?"
In the Heavenly Palace, hearing Zheng Fa’s plan, the others, including Elder Han, looked like their brains were being ransacked.
What kind of mind comes up with such a plan?
Zhang looked at the rewards Zheng Fa had copied and calculated silently, nodding slowly: "In terms of profits, giving these things to Haori Mountain earns about twice the profit compared to selling to the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s sects. This is feasible."
Zheng Fa smiled and said, "This way, I can also dispel the suspicions of those Nascent Souls in the Chongxuan Sect."
Elder Han and others were momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood.
Zheng Fa was working so hard for Haori Mountain, if Shi Nandang still had doubts, it would chill the hearts of everyone in the Chongxuan Sect.
Seeing they understood his point, Zheng Fa shifted his tone and said, "But the other Chongxuan disciples and external loose cultivators cannot be ignored."
Seeing his serious expression, the others all nodded in agreement.
"I have three ideas..."
"First, through the Comprehensive Records, establish a warning mechanism, issuing different levels of alerts for different enemies. I, Zhang, Fairy Xie, along with Blood River Ancestor and Jiao Wuji, will take turns to be on standby for support."
Zhang and the other three stood up and saluted Zheng Fa in agreement.
"Second, Han Qi and his team should have an action manual."
"The key points are two: first, do not split the forces, always be ready for mutual support. Second, in times of crisis, give up wealth to save lives."
Currently, the caravan led by Han Qi has over thirty Shenxiao warships, which can handle threats at the Golden Core level.
If they really can’t win, they can hold out until Zheng Fa and his team come to support.
After discussing the two most direct countermeasures, Zheng Fa looked at Elder Han and suddenly asked, "Elder Han, I have something to ask of you."
"Me?"
"Elder Han, I intend to consolidate the resources of the Unrivaled Alliance and train a group of Jiushan disciples to gather intelligence. Or rather, I want to establish a department directly under me—the Intelligence Department."
"..."
A look of understanding flashed across Elder Han’s face.
The others also understood that Zheng Fa valued Elder Han’s Spirit Ear Technique and his ability and experience in gathering intelligence.
Elder Han glanced at Yan Wushuang, stayed silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"What can I do?"
"The current goal is to monitor the Nascent Soul loose cultivators coming from Haori Mountain. They have no ties and are essentially desperadoes, posing the greatest threat to my Jiushan disciples."
No matter how strong the Shenxiao warships are, Han Qi and his team would still be in danger if they encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator, so the best approach is to monitor them.
"The long-term goal is to establish an intelligence network within Haori Mountain..."
Zheng Fa’s expression turned cold.
Haori Mountain has caused so much trouble, and Jiushan Sect remembers it all.
"Internally, find some promising talents. In the future, when they practice the ’Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation’..."
As soon as he said this, Elder Han’s expression changed dramatically, his scalp tingling.
The ’Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation’ is so useful as a spy, as seen from Zheng Fa.
However, the problem is that Jiushan Sect doesn’t have many Nascent Soul cultivators who can practice the ’Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation.’
But according to the ’First 50-Year Plan,’ with the idea of having five hundred Nascent Souls in fifty years...
That’s just fifty years; what about a hundred years if it goes well?
What about five hundred years?
In the future, Haori Mountain might even become a branch of Jiushan Sect.
After discussing the three ideas, Zheng Fa looked at Zhang and the others and asked:
"Do you have anything to add?"
Zhang thought for a while and then spoke: "These are all temporary measures. What Lady Xuanhua mentioned before, the idea of combining the Immortal Formation with the Shenxiao warships, I think it has potential."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa couldn’t help but shake his head lightly: "This thing might have some relation to the array... The Immortal Formation Skill, after all, has some differences from traditional arrays."
"Our accumulation in the Array Dao may not be enough to perfect this idea in a short time."
Saying this, Zheng Fa couldn’t help but glance at Xie Qingxue.
