A rare opportunity

Yin Zijuan added the last sentence because she was afraid the previous words would make the demon tribe lose confidence. As the saying goes, an army that is in despair will always win. But an army that loses confidence is doomed to fail!

Although the three demon saints didn't understand the concepts of time, place, and people, they still found it difficult to accept the consequences Yin Zijuan described. That would mean the annihilation of their entire race!

They just hoped that Yin Zijuan was exaggerating, but looking at Li Yu's expression, they knew that what Yin Zijuan said was true.

"Fairy...Fairy! Are you saying that we still have a chance of winning? Then...then what should we do?"

Big White Rabbit couldn't help but ask, his voice dry and his face stiff.

"Of course! Although the enemy is powerful, they also have their weaknesses! After all, most of them are just a ragtag group. As long as we can hold our ground and fight to the death, the final victory will surely belong to us!"

Yin Zijuan paused for a moment and continued:

"Of course, if we want to achieve victory, the morale of the army must not be shaken! If we want to maintain morale, we must let everyone know the difficulty of this battle! Everyone must know the importance of this battle to the demon race! Everyone knows that at this critical moment of our race's survival, we cannot retreat a single step! In this battle, we can only win and not lose!"

Upon hearing this, the three demon saints all looked solemn! After Yin Zijuan's analysis, they naturally understood the significance of this battle! They also knew how difficult it would be! As a result, their initial excitement had turned into a heavy heart!

It wasn't just this one battle, but every one of them couldn't afford to lose! The Xianxia Sect could afford to lose, but they couldn't! If the Xianxia Sect lost, they could still make a comeback. But if they failed, they would face the danger of extinction!

Even if they managed to eke out a victory in this battle, what would they do next? Now that the relationship had been exposed, the Xianxia Sect would never give up! If this endless battle continued, how could they guarantee victory in every battle? Wouldn't that mean the demon race would ultimately be doomed to extinction?

Li Yu seemed to see through their thoughts and immediately said in a deep voice:

"In order to maintain the reputation of the Xianxia Sect and to consolidate its position in the cultivation world, I think we can't afford to lose this battle, and the Xianxia Sect can't afford to lose either! Therefore, to ensure that everything is foolproof, they will definitely mobilize the entire sect to encircle and suppress our Yunfu Mountains! In addition, the various forces that have been bewitched by them must be extremely powerful! Therefore, this battle will definitely be a hard one!

However, there's no need to worry too much! While the enemy is numerous and powerful, we have the support of spiritual cannons and the true fire of the sun. Therefore, the difference in strength between the two sides is not much.

Besides, I have reinforcements outside. If we can hold out until they arrive, and attack them from both inside and outside, then they will undoubtedly be defeated! Of course, the outcome of the battle depends on whether you can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

"Reinforcements?"

The three demon saints were all astonished! They knew Li Yu and his men were from outer space, and that almost all the demon cultivators on Xuanyuan Star were concentrated in the Yunfu Mountains. Where would the reinforcements come from? They figured this battle would be more of a loss than a victory, and that Li Yu was just trying to comfort them!

"Everyone, there's no need to doubt it! Do you still remember Xi Wuyou? I think he's leading a large number of reinforcements right now!"

"oh……!"

The three demon saints couldn't help but beam with joy! They naturally knew the original purpose of the attack on Jinsuo Town. Li Yu must have received the news that Xi Wuyou was on his way with reinforcements. With reinforcements, what was there to fear? Ideally, this pincer attack from both inside and outside could wipe out the invading enemy! That way, perhaps future troubles would be eradicated!

Li Yu's words weren't because he had received accurate information about Xi Wuyou. They were simply words to reassure the troops. Seeing the color finally showing on the faces of the three demon saints, he knew his words had worked. To prevent the three saints from underestimating the enemy again, Li Yu continued:

"What I want to tell you is that although we have reinforcements, we cannot rely on them! After all, it takes time for the reinforcements to arrive! If we can't hold on, then no matter how many reinforcements we have, it will be useless! As Sister Yin said just now, we must let the monsters know the significance of this battle to the monster race!

This battle is a matter of life and death for the demon race! Therefore, I hope the three of you can restrain the demon cultivators, so that they don't underestimate themselves and never take it lightly!

As long as we win this battle, the Xianxia Sect will be severely damaged! When this situation weakens, I will lead you all to counterattack the Xianxia Sect and destroy it in one fell swoop, eliminating the threat forever!

Upon hearing this, the three demon saints couldn't help but feel their blood boiling, a surge of heroic spirit. Since ancient times, the demon race has only been bullied by humans, and there has never been a precedent for the demon race annihilating a large sect! If this could really be achieved, wouldn't it mean that they have created a historical precedent? The thought of it makes people excited!

"However, that all requires us to hold out until reinforcements arrive! I can tell you that reinforcements are gathering and will soon be heading to the Yunfu Mountains! Therefore, during this period, we must at least hold our ground and not collapse! Therefore, your top priority is to calm the demons! Don't be blindly confident or arrogant. Don't be too self-deprecating or lose confidence either!"

It was only then that the three demon saints finally understood that Li Yu and Yin Zijuan's earnest advice was precisely to stabilize the army's morale! Pride leads to impetuousness! Failure is a crushing defeat. Low self-esteem leads to a loss of confidence. Once confidence is lost, people will abandon themselves and surrender without a fight! The key is that the human race may not accept surrender. If they give up resistance, they will immediately become the target of human hunting!

The three demon saints immediately bowed to Li Yu and said:

"Follow the Lord's instructions! We will restrain the demons, make them realize the situation, and fight to the death for the demon race!"

"That's great! I'm just afraid that the three of you might be too rough and ineffective. Therefore, please follow Senior Sister Yin's instructions!"

"Order!"

The three saints all bowed and followed Yin Zijuan out of the cave.

Looking at their backs as they left, Li Yu frowned and fell into deep thought!

By now, he and Yin Zijuan had roughly guessed the Xianxia Sect's method of dealing with the spiritual cannon and their own Sun True Fire. It was nothing more than using those reckless cannon fodder to consume the cannon operators and their own internal energy.

This idea was nothing short of sinister! After all, both the gunners and himself were still mortal. While his own Sun Fire didn't require internal energy, it did require the power of the spirit to stimulate it. Over time, it would become unsustainable. This would inevitably give the other party an opportunity to exploit!

Solving this problem is nearly impossible! The only way to alleviate this problem is to increase the accuracy and the number of gunners. However, the accuracy has already been determined, so we can only rely on the few we brought with us and the two main monster gunners. The only additional gunners we can add are the less skilled secondary gunners!

As for his own Sun True Fire, he could only act according to circumstances!

Thinking of this, he immediately called Hou Rujing and others over and told them his speculation.

Everyone was silent upon hearing this. They all realized the seriousness of the problem! After all, they were not made of iron, and they would eventually run out of energy.

"Who cares? Let's fight! I don't believe they aren't afraid of death!"

After a long time, Hou Rujing let out a long breath.

"That's right! I don't believe it either! Let's see who starts the chaos first, or I get down first!"

Mu Chengqi also said viciously.

Hua Zirong, Qian Youzu, Park Chengxian and others also had determined eyes! They all knew that this battle should be the most difficult battle they had fought since entering Xuanyuan Star!

Honestly, they all didn't understand why Li Yu was wasting his time here. Why would he fight the Xianxia Sect to the death? But since Li Yu had made his decision, they would carry it out unconditionally. Since they had decided to fight, they had to fight with morale and prestige, no matter what!

After Xi Wuyou and Han Xiuzhi parted ways with Wu Changlin, they quickly rushed to the White Dragon Gate's hiding place. The remaining White Dragon Gate members were overjoyed to see that Han Xiuzhi and Han Jiubian were still alive! They naturally asked about their well-being!

But Xi Wuyou remembered the ten-day agreement with Wu Changlin, and immediately summoned all his disciples, ordering them to rush out to contact like-minded people, go to Ziyang Mountain, and besiege the Xianxia Sect!
