This news came very suddenly, and Xia Ji was extremely shocked.
Sure enough, something happened over there. The prisoners escaped and all came to kill them. Although the Green Lotus Sect was not afraid, the dozen or so Taoist monks were definitely a force that should not be underestimated.
.If they don’t respond well, it will definitely ruin their career.
"The prisoners escaped. Could it be that all the sisters we left behind to guard were killed? That's why Senior Sister Qi sent out three cyan signal smokes?"
The Taoist female cultivator from before lost her voice.
Xia Ji's bright face was covered with a layer of frost.
The sudden change in the situation was undoubtedly a huge setback for Xia Ji. Although there were accidental factors, she, the saint who took charge of the overall situation, undoubtedly had an unshirkable responsibility.
This will undoubtedly become a stain on her.
"Holy girl, I'm applying to bring a group of sisters to intercept and kill them!"
The Taoist female cultivator from before took the initiative to ask for help.
Xia Ji said solemnly: "Although we have the advantage in numbers, to completely kill this group of true disciples of the Daoji Realm, we must dispatch at least twice their number of troops."
"We can use the old methods, use poisonous smoke, or set up traps."
"Now that the traps are temporarily arranged, we can't be so comprehensive. Besides, the twelve true disciples are gathered together, which is different from the earlier ones. The inferior traps can't do anything to them. As for the poisonous smoke, they suffered a loss once, and the same
I’m afraid this method won’t be effective either.”
Although the situation was urgent, Xia Ji did not give orders blindly.
If they sent people to intercept and kill the opponent, they would have to deploy at least double the manpower. As a result, their manpower would definitely be stretched thin.
"Saint, the enemy is coming very quickly, we must attack quickly."
A look of determination flashed in Xia Ji's beautiful eyes: "Don't attack, let them enter the underground palace and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Let them in? If they cooperate inside and outside, wouldn't it be..."
"If we can't defeat them individually in the underground palace, let's let them reunite. They will become our prisoners outside, and they don't know that we have laid a trap here. So, let them reunite, and we will catch them all!"
Xia Ji's decision was very bold.
The risk of letting two groups of true disciples from the Yanluo Region meet is extremely high.
If this trap fails to trap them, the Green Lotus Sect will have to confront them head-on.
In a head-to-head confrontation, although the Green Lotus Sect still has a numerical advantage, this advantage is not particularly obvious.
The most important thing is that the Green Lotus Sect's strategy is to capture all the geniuses from the seven countries of the Yanluo Domain with minimal sacrifice.
But now, the Qinglian Sect's casualties have obviously exceeded expectations.
If all the sisters responsible for guarding were killed, it could even be said that the number of casualties suffered by the Qinglian Sect was not inferior to that of the Seven Kingdoms of the Yanluo Domain.
When she thought of this, Xia Ji felt inexplicably upset.
For this operation, the superiors were very optimistic about Xia Ji, and asked Xia Ji to coordinate, control, and lead the operation behind the scenes.
But now, the progress of the situation has experienced twists and turns, and has slightly deviated from the original established track.
If they cannot capture these two groups of people in one fell swoop, their plan may even fail.
This is something Xia Ji cannot accept no matter what.
Therefore, she was unwilling to order an interception of the group of true disciples from the Seven Kingdoms of the Yanluo Region, because if they intercepted them, a head-on collision would be inevitable.
A head-on collision will not only expose your strength easily, but will also inevitably cause a large number of casualties.
The more casualties there are, the more unsuccessful this operation will undoubtedly be.
Not only the casualties of the Qinglian Sect members, but also the requirement from above is to try to ensure that the true disciples of the Seven Kingdoms do not suffer a large number of casualties. It is best to surrender and be used by the Qinglian Sect.
These geniuses from the Seven Kingdoms are the future pillars of the Seven Kingdoms. If they can be adopted by the Qinglian Sect, they will be returned to the Seven Kingdoms in the Yanluo Domain.
These chess pieces will be a very important layout.
After a few decades, when this group of geniuses grow up and become the pillars of the Seven Kingdoms and control the voice of the Seven Kingdoms, then their plan of the Green Lotus Sect to attack the Yanluo Territory and control the Yanluo Territory will undoubtedly be
Greatly increase your chances of winning!
This is the goal of this operation of the Qinglian Sect.
This is also why the Qinglian Sect pays little attention to geniuses below the mortal realm. If they can be caught, they will be caught, and if they cannot be caught, they will be killed.
If you can't catch them, you won't kill them all, and you won't waste a lot of manpower chasing them down.
Of course, Qin Yi was one of the surprises.
He is a genius in the Mortal Realm who was personally named by the leader of the Qinglian Sect. That's why Xia Ji personally took action, but in the end he still fell short.
With Xia Ji's character, if she didn't want to take charge of the overall situation, she would definitely not give up and continue to pursue Qin Yi.
The more she thinks about it now, the more she feels that Qin Yi is very suspicious.
If there is anyone below the true disciples of the Seven Kingdoms who can really sneak into the Blood Flame Valley, Xia Ji feels that Qin Yi is the biggest suspect.
Of course, this is just a guess she has now, and she will naturally not say it out loud.
When those members of the cult heard that Xia Ji said that they would lead those true disciples into the underground palace, they all hesitated a little.
"Holy Maiden, divide them into two groups and we can defeat them individually. If they get together, the risk is not small."
"I have full authority to make the decision on this matter. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it. All you have to do is do it." Xia Ji's tone was cold.
"Saintess, please think twice. What if these people who have escaped from trouble already know the trap here? Wouldn't it be a big deal?"
"How do they know? Where do they know it? Do you suspect that those fellow guards will reveal the secrets of our religion?"
Xia Ji stared coldly at the person trying to persuade her.
The saint was so angry that no one else dared to persuade her.
"Saintess, calm down, my subordinates have given an order not to block them along the way and allow them to enter the underground palace."
Xia Ji nodded: "After they entered the underground palace, we tried every means to disperse them and try not to let them gather together."
The best way to deal with these true disciples is to spread them out.
As long as they are spread out, one or two, there is nothing to worry about.
What I'm afraid of is that there are many people on the other side. If many people gather together, the destructive power will be greater. A two-level monk in the underground palace will not be able to cause any big waves.
…
Qin Yi followed the team and arrived outside the entrance of the underground palace.
"Brothers, please allow me to say one more thing. You can't see the end of this place at a glance, and the terrain inside must be extremely complicated. Once you enter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control everything. Based on my guess, there must be a trap set by those witches down here.
Wait for us. Are you determined to break through?"
In fact, Qin Yi knew that the following was a trap, because he had heard the secrets leaked in the important conversations of those witches before.
