My filial piety will never change

"... "

...

Back at the camp, the senior executives gathered again for a meeting.

After hearing the news, the women had different expressions.

Ao Bibi's confidence was severely shaken. "If there really was a True Immortal here, our chances of winning would drop significantly."

Zhao Yuchen said, "Don't panic. I and Qianqing will jointly deal with the True Immortal. As for the rest, proceed according to the original plan."

Qing Meng pondered, "Then we should at least find out the identity of this True Immortal. Is he Ao Jiu's guest, ally, or a member of the Dragon Clan?"

Sheng Ying said, "We have to confirm it face to face. With the Azure Dragon Order in hand, as long as we can subdue this True Immortal and Ao Jiu, the others will have to cooperate."

The dragon clan has a very high degree of recognition of the Azure Dragon Order. As long as Ao Bibi wins this battle in the name of the Dragon King, she will definitely gain the recognition she deserves.

Chapter 90: Filial Piety to Three Masters

Ao Bibi wasn't as naive as she appeared. She had already instructed her subordinate, Ao Daolin, to conduct a basic investigation of the twelve soldiers under Ao Jiu. After a brief encounter, they knew the four were fakes. Ao Xi was 99% sure he was fooling her.

Zhao Yuchen was pleased with her intelligence and said, "This is indeed a trap that leads us deep into it, but we can't retreat because of this."

"If they want to use us as fish, then they can just fish for us instead." Gu Lingling snorted.

Qing Meng asked, "Then how should we counter it?"

Zhao Yuchen took the influence map from Ao Bibi and said, "The influence points marked on it are definitely fake, but the terrain is real. This trench is long, narrow, deep, and narrow. They probably want to ambush us here. We should split our forces into two groups. One group will pretend to cooperate, and the other will flank them from this side and catch them off guard."

Sheng Ying pondered, "Guess is just a guess after all. This trench looks dangerous. They should have expected us to be on guard. Therefore, they would let us pass through the trench safely and completely let down our guard."

Ao Bibi scratched her head and said, "Then doesn't that mean we won't be able to know their exact location?"

Shengying smiled seductively, "On-site investigation is always the best way to deal with the enemy. Before taking action, send someone there first."

Gu Lingling couldn't hold back and immediately raised her hand and said, "Let me go!"

Zhao Yuchen said: "Actually, it would be most appropriate for me to go. My hiding method is more reliable."

Gu Lingling's eyes turned, "I remember Xiao Yuchen can hide with someone. In order to have someone to look after him, the two of us can go together."

"OK…"

"hey-hey!"

The matter was decided. Zhao Yuchen and Gu Lingling would go ahead to investigate, while we would continue to deal with Ao Xi to buy some time.

The meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

Only Zhao Yuchen and Qian Qing were left in the tent.

The reason why Zhao Yuchen stayed was that he wanted to talk to her.

Qianqing sat elegantly and quietly, as if nothing could affect her.

Zhao Yuchen stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you speak in any meetings?"

Qian Qing blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Qian Qing is yours. I will only follow your arrangements and will not participate in any discussions."

Zhao Yuchen shook his head and said, "The relationship between us is one of equality, not one of me being yours or you being mine. I hope you can truly integrate into this group and become a part of it. Of course, everyone has different personalities and souls, and I can't force you to do this. I just want you to live more freely."

Qian Qing held his hand and said, "Doing nothing and not having to think about anything is the freest life for Qian Qing."

Zhao Yuchen stared at her strange and beautiful face and held her hand tightly: "Well, I respect you."

...

After everything was ready, Zhao Yuchen and Gu Lingling flew hand in hand to the sky above the trench, then activated the waterproof talisman and dived into the sea.

Although this place is far from the excavation site, the water is still a little turbid. Due to the particulate matter in the water, even the best eyesight will be affected to some extent.

"Xiao Yuchen, swim faster, time waits for no one."

It can be seen that Gu Lingling is quite excited, just like a child coming to an amusement park.

Zhao Yuchen followed closely behind, "Third Master, we should restrain our aura a little more to avoid being discovered."

With their current level of cultivation, there is no danger in being discovered, but it will alert the enemy, which is not worth the loss.

Hearing this, Gu Lingling slowed down, pressed her soft body against him, and giggled, "Yes, yes, we should keep a low profile."

Zhao Yuchen tilted his head and asked, "Third Master seems very happy, why?"

Gu Lingling said truthfully, "It's been a while since I've been alone with Xiao Yuchen, and business has been very busy lately. I finally got the chance today."

Zhao Yuchen touched her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Third Master."

"It's certainly hard work, but when I think about the fact that I can live a carefree life with the people I care about in the future, it's all worth it." Gu Lingling snorted, "Also, I'm not a child, don't touch my head!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Third Master is an adult now. He is no longer that young boy who has not yet fallen in love." Zhao Yuchen teased.

Gu Lingling blushed slightly and said, "You bad boy! If I didn't have a mission this time, I would definitely teach you a lesson!"

Zhao Yuchen leaned forward and asked, "Third Master, how do you plan to educate your disciple?"

Gu Lingling looked towards his crotch and raised her little pink fist, "I'm going to smash your vitals with one punch!"

"That won't do. It still has to fulfill its filial duties to its three masters in the future." Zhao Yuchen protected his younger brother and changed the subject. "It seems to be here."

They were now at a depth of about five thousand meters. If it weren't for the extremely strong body of the immortal monk, he would have been crushed into a bloody cake by the water pressure in an instant.

Although the water is not so turbid at this depth, it is still very dark because light cannot penetrate and the trench is so deep and bottomless.

The two of them restrained their breath, heightened their senses to the extreme, and moved forward leisurely in the trench. Zhao Yuchen opened his eyes of insight and scanned everything around him.

There are many strange creatures living in the trench, with various shapes, some of which can even glow, which is an eye-opener for the two people.

This trench is more than a hundred miles long, and after exploring it, nothing unusual was found.

Just as Shengying expected, the enemy would not take action in the trench.

Across the trench is an underwater plain covered with huge seaweed and kelp, which crisscross each other, the longest of which reaches hundreds of meters.

The moment Zhao Yuchen stepped in, the Eye of Insight immediately detected a subtle fluctuation, which was the spiritual power emanating from the periphery of the formation.

"Third Master! I've got something. Follow me."

"Ah."

The two of them shuttled through the gaps in the kelp and came to the center of the plain. The place looked normal, but there were quite a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals busy doing something.

Upon closer inspection, they were setting up a formation, and were being commanded by three dragons in the Yuhua realm.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the two of them tried to retreat from the center and found a hidden haystack to hide.

Gu Lingling said fiercely: "Such a powerful formation, it seems that they want to catch us all in one fell swoop."

Zhao Yuchen narrowed his eyes and said, "From this, it can be seen that Ao Jiu is indeed no ordinary person. But I really want to know the details of his plan this time. Is that spring really real..."

Gu Lingling sneered, "It must be fake. We probably won't get what we want this time."

"It's hard to say. Using a fake thing to lure is far inferior to using a real thing. At least it's a mixture of real and fake. Just look at the murky water. Shh... here comes a master."

Zhao Yuchen held Gu Lingling in his arms and used absolute concealment to completely isolate the two.

The reason why he was so alert was that the person who came was a powerful person at the ninth level of the Yuhua realm.

Gu Lingling rubbed her face against Zhao Yuchen's chest, and with her delicate hands she pressed down the offensive artifact, whispering shyly, "Bad disciple, at this time, you're still thinking about that~"

Chapter 88 Preparation before the war

The people present at the scene included three masters, Ao Bibi, Qing Meng, and Qian Qing.

Mingjing and Huang Li are not the main combat forces, so there is little point in their attending the meeting.

Ao Bibi was the most excited one, screaming loudly.

Qing Meng also expressed his opinion: "Longquan is indeed attractive, but Ao Jiu has been searching for it for so long and still hasn't found it. Maybe it's just a cover."

As the person who first proposed this plan, Sheng Ying explained, "Even if the existence of Longquan is fake, we can still use it to collect the resources of the South China Sea and utilize its combat power. In this special period, as long as we win, we will never lose."

Qing Meng pondered for a moment, "Then how should we allocate the candidates for the expedition? Someone should stay behind to take charge."

Gongsun Ningyu said, "I believe everyone is eager to participate. So, Ao Bibi, Qing Meng, and Qian Qing will all go on the expedition. The four of us, master and apprentice, will draw lots and leave one person behind to take charge."

Ao Bibi was the protagonist of this mission and couldn't possibly stay. Qingmeng's cultivation was at the bottom of the pack, and Qianqing was a demon from outside the region who had just joined. Regardless of whether he trusted her or not, he couldn't hand over the main task to her.

Therefore, the person in charge can only be chosen from among the three sisters.

Everyone agreed and began drawing lots. The results came out quickly.

Zhao Yuchen said leisurely, "Then Master will stay and take charge."

Gongsun Ningyu was straightforward, "Okay! You guys should be careful too."

...

According to the previously formulated plan, Yin Yang Valley would draw 50 He Dao cultivators, 500 Huan Xu cultivators and above, and 2,000 Hua Shen elites. Elites would also be mobilized from the allied coalition forces, forming an elite division of nearly 10,000 people.

If they were to attack head-on, these troops would still be far from enough to take over the South China Sea.

The south was already ruled by Yin Yang Valley. Zhao Yuchen could summon an army of hundreds of thousands of cultivators if he wanted to. But that would be too ostentatious.

Zhao Yuchen was trying to be as low-key as possible during this expedition, even telling his allies that he was only borrowing troops without revealing the main purpose. He would only announce it after the success.

To sum up, this action was a flank attack, cooperating with Ao Xi's side from inside and outside to achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak.

As long as the opponent's main combat force is restrained and killed, victory will be in your hands.

The concubines who went on the expedition also had their own duties.

Sheng Ying is the commander-in-chief and military advisor, Gu Lingling, Ao Bibi and Qing Meng are the three main generals, and Qian Qing is the hidden ace.

As for Zhao Yuchen, he didn't hold a specific position in the army. He could be a military advisor in the rear, enjoying the same status as Shengying, or he could be a soldier charging on the front lines with Gu Lingling and the others. In short, he was just a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed.

From the aforementioned division of labor, it's clear that the top layer is entirely composed of Yin Yang Valley personnel, and none of the allied Immortal Monks are of any use. Besides maintaining confidentiality, this also serves as practice for larger wars in the future.

The situation on the mainland is becoming increasingly turbulent. While developing steadily, we must also hone ourselves in order to maximize our combat power.

...

A day later, Ao Xi finally sent someone to contact him.

Ao Bibi showed up to receive them, and the two sides had a detailed discussion on combat issues and finally finalized the action plan.

According to the information provided by Ao Xi, two days later, four of the twelve warriors under Ao Jiu will be in charge of the excavation of the spiritual spring at the Scallop Reef in the South China Sea.

Their cultivation level was between the third and fifth levels of the Feathered Realm, and they had brought with them approximately two thousand men. They could be eliminated first to weaken Ao Jiu's core strength.

When Ao Jiu reacts, Ao Xi will release the secretly assembled troops to create chaos within the Dragon Clan. Taking advantage of the internal strife, the people of Yin Yang Valley can launch a charge from the path he arranged, breaking up Ao Jiu's camp. At that time, the internal and external forces will work together to capture and kill Ao Jiu.

Although there are still many details, the general direction is basically this.

Back in Yin Yang Valley, they began arranging personnel for the Scallop Reef operation. Everything was ready, just waiting for the opportunity to come.

The South China Sea is not far from the Yin Yang Valley. There is a teleportation array jointly built by allies nearby. We can teleport there directly and then fly over a sea route of about 2,000 miles to reach our destination.

As elite cultivators, even with a large group, the two thousand li flight would only take a little over an hour. For a top-level immortal cultivator like Zhao Yuchen, the time would be several times shorter.

When the strategic discussion was completed, it was already evening.

Zhao Yuchen returned to his room and planned to have a good rest.

A familiar voice came from outside the door, "Little ghost~ I'm coming in."

Apart from his second master Shengying, no one else would speak to him in such a charming voice.

Shengying was wearing a thin red pajamas, her eyes were charming, her waist was graceful, half of her breasts were faintly visible, and her long legs were clearly visible under her short skirt. From this angle, she looked like she was in neutral gear, which gave people endless reverie.

Zhao Yuchen stood up to greet him, "Second Master, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Sheng Ying sat on the bed very naturally, crossed her legs, poked Zhao Yuchen's butt with her finger, raised her eyebrows and said, "You heartless bad guy, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Zhao Yuchen jumped a little when he was poked, and said while covering his little butt: "Hey, of course you can."

"Sit down~" She patted her thigh, her intention was very obvious.

Zhao Yuchen knew that this fox was out to steal some fish, and he was the fat piece of meat. Looking back, it had indeed been quite a while since he and her had played a two-person game.

It is certainly exciting to play with a group of people, but playing with two people also has its own charm, especially since there are many inhumane games that you can try without being influenced by the people around you.

Zhao Yuchen obediently sat on her soft thighs, leaning against the even softer and more elastic flesh pillow.
