Chapter 2379 The Presence of the Alliance Leader
There were singing and dancing outside, celebrating the victory, but the atmosphere in the newly occupied City Lord's Mansion was solemn.
Regardless of Yin Xueer, Xu Zichuan, Bingji and White Tiger Emperor, these high-level powerhouses were not in a relaxed mood.
"Suyun Palace can even give up on Nanhuo City, which shows that they are holding back their ultimate move."
"Yes, this is the rhythm of the coming rain."
"It's possible that a dragnet has been set to lure us in."
They are guessing out of thin air, but they can't guess the truth.
I can only cast doubtful eyes on Gong Qing, hoping that she can give me some advice.
The palace military advisor pondered for a moment, and then slowly said something that made everyone's expressions change drastically.
"When the war finally begins, we may encounter more than just Yangting Zhengshen."
"What?"
"Could he be able to find other righteous gods to help him?"
"Didn't it mean that the four righteous gods had great conflicts with each other in order to compete for territory? How could they join forces?"
When they were on Dongzhu Island, they encountered several temples that were under siege.
At that time, everyone relied on the numerous formations and altars on the island for defense, plus the intrigues between several temples, so they didn't want to waste too much, and there was also the Ancient Sage of Blue Abyss on their side.
Only after paying a heavy price did he hold on with difficulty.
Now they don't have the power of Jiuting Palace, and they don't have the impregnable Dongzhu Island.
If several righteous gods come together, even if the Ancient Sage Lanyuan is present, they will definitely end in a disastrous defeat.
This is also the situation that everyone is most afraid of seeing.
"It's too popular to take the initiative."
"They used to think of us as a tough nut to crack, but now we're more like a knife to cut out."
"The feeling it gives them is different."
Gong Qing looked at Jiang Cheng and said slowly: "Their determination to destroy us will reach its peak at this moment."
Everyone understood what she meant.
In the past, everyone stuck to Dongzhu Island, and the four temples could still remain calm.
Just fight for territory outside first, and occasionally encourage other temples to take the lead.
But now that Dongzhudao has taken the initiative and threatened their territory, it is impossible for the four temples to sit still.
"Then what do we do?"
"How about we stop as soon as we see fit and withdraw before they join forces?"
"Conquering the Southern Fire City is considered a huge victory."
"Yes, there are hundreds of millions of immortals here, and most of them want to go back to Dongzhu Island with us."
There are only a few holy masters in Nanhuo City, but there are a huge number of holy masters and Taoists.
During the period of Suyun Palace's rule, their arms could not twist their thighs, so they were forced to change to Shushen style.
This is why the cheers were so loud after the army entered the city.
For them, Dongzhudao is here to save themselves.
Those who cultivate immortality do not need any food and grass supplies, and there is no logistical pressure.
As many as there are, Dongzhudao can collect them.
"Bringing them back together will greatly enrich our capabilities."
"That's right, this is already a great achievement, and Jiuting Palace can't find any fault with it."
"Do they dare to dissatisfy? In the past, the number of us was getting smaller and smaller as we fought. Now that Leader Jiang has come, our number has increased several times. This is the difference."
For a moment, everyone in the hall was beaming with joy, and they had already begun to imagine what the scene would be like after the class teacher returned.
But Gong Qing's expression changed slightly.
"A lot of people want to join our team?"
She stood up and said urgently: "Stop accepting new people immediately!"
Everyone was very puzzled.
"Why?"
"Those who are willing to join us are all our own people."
"Yes, they are all looking forward to returning to Dongzhu Island together..."
Gong Qing shook her head.
"I know they are one of our own."
"But not all."
"If any one of them is not, it will be a disaster for us."
Yin Xueer, Qin Chang and others expressed confusion.
"What does it mean?"
Gong Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "The other party is not fighting with us now. The reason is that we can't figure out where our confidence comes from and have seriously overestimated our strength."
"Therefore, they are afraid to attack easily."
"If I were them, the first thing I would do now is to find out our truth."
Everyone was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"You mean, among the newcomers who join us in the city, there may be spies from Suyun Palace?"
Gong Qing said in a deep voice: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty!"
Everyone opened their mouths and found that they could not refute at all.
At present, there are at least hundreds of millions of immortals in the entire Southern Fire City who want to join Dongzhu Island, and 99% of them can be said to be sincere.
But even if there are only 0.001 people with ulterior motives and deliberately sneaking in, that is a very scary number.
This group of spies will find out clearly the true and false situation of this army, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, everyone broke out in cold sweat.
"Then we won't accept any of them?"
Gong Qing shook her head again.
"No, of course we have to accept such a powerful force."
"It's just that the newcomers and the old must be separated to avoid information leakage."
"And choose people who are strict and reliable and manage them."
"As for the spies who have sneaked in, it won't be too late to find them out slowly in the future when they return to the island."
Everyone was so convinced that they had no objections at all.
"As expected of a palace military advisor, he is so stable!"
Yin Xueer, Xu Zichuan and others all stood up.
"We'll make arrangements immediately!"
Bingji, White Tiger, Ancient Ape and other holy masters also responded one after another.
"I will keep an eye on this matter personally and there will never be any mistakes."
"Okay, okay, sit down."
Brother Cheng, who listened patiently for a long time, said that he was almost exhausted.
As the protagonist, the leader of the alliance, and the leader of this army, my presence is so thin that it is almost transparent.
Even Feixianmen disciples such as Yin Xueer and Xu Zichuan unconsciously followed Gong Qingyan's advice.
How embarrassing is this?
"Do we have any confidential information that we don't want anyone to see? If it's leaked, just leak it. "
He glared at everyone with hatred, and then said seriously: "What is our purpose? Isn't it just to come out and fight the enemy?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to deliberately let the spies pass on some news of our weakness to attract the enemy to attack earlier?"
Gong Qing hadn't seen this brother for many years, and didn't know what his current strength was.
Her calm and sober instinct took over, forcing her to retort: "However, this time it is very likely that not one righteous god, but four righteous gods will attack, and the situation will be completely different..."
"Nothing different!"
Leader Jiang hopes that all enemies will come together.
"Aren't they just four righteous gods? Our structure needs to be bigger."
"Send my order and spread the news to the outside world. Just say that we don't have any Ancient Saints outside this time."
"Oh, by the way, let me tell those spies that the reason why we suddenly set off for the expedition was because there was a serious internal conflict with Jiuting Palace, and Dongzhu Island was split!"
