Chapter 3753: Heavenly Beast Sect Reinforcements Arrive

"Heavenly Beast Island is unlike these strongholds. It's impossible for us to infiltrate it using the same method. If we attack head-on, Heavenly Beast Island's protective sect formation is not just for show."

Ni Tianlong still disagreed.

Before the battle began, Wang Changsheng called them to a meeting to discuss strategy.

According to the plan, Ni Tianlong would use the Law of Illusion to confuse Heavenly Beast Sect disciples and infiltrate Sky Toad Island. He would then release Wang Yidao and others from a spatial treasure. At the same time, Wang Qingshan and his group would launch a frontal assault on Sky Toad Island to prevent ambushes, creating a pincer movement.

Sky Toad Island is merely a stronghold of the Heavenly Beast Sect, while Heavenly Beast Island is their main headquarters. Attacking Heavenly Beast Island this way might have been possible before the war, but now that hostilities have begun, the Heavenly Beast Sect will certainly heighten their alert.

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Nothing is impossible."

A pleasant female voice rang out. As soon as she finished speaking, a white light flew in, revealing a white flying boat with over ten True Immortal cultivators, including Xia Sibing, standing inside.

Xia Sibing had placed all Xia family members below the True Immortal realm into her spatial treasure. Capturing a stronghold and then releasing them to clear the battlefield and plunder cultivation resources on the island was standard procedure.

"Madam Xia," Wang Qingshan began, "it will be very difficult for us to assault Heavenly Beast Island head-on. Or rather, do you have helpers on Heavenly Beast Island?" He reasoned that if they had an inside accomplice, a coordinated attack would be less difficult. Xia Sibing surely had helpers if she intended to attack Heavenly Beast Island.

"We do have a helper on Heavenly Beast Island," Xia Sibing said, "but his cultivation level isn't high, and your previous victories have been too significant. The Heavenly Beast Sect has already heightened their vigilance, so he won't be able to help much. By the way, how did you manage to capture four islands? Tell us about it; it might give us a way to break into Heavenly Beast Island."

Ni Tianlong looked at Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, recognizing that the matter couldn't be kept secret for long anyway.

"My name is Ni Tianlong. I have a rudimentary understanding of the Law of Illusion. I tricked the low-level Heavenly Beast Sect disciples into letting me in. I carried a spatial treasure and released some True Immortal cultivators, who then eliminated the True Immortal cultivators on Sky Toad Island. After that, we used the teleportation array to move to other islands. The Heavenly Beast Sect quickly reacted and shut down the teleportation arrays; otherwise, we would have captured more than four islands."

Ni Tianlong briefly explained the process, glossing over the details of eliminating the Heavenly Beast Sect's True Immortal cultivators in a single sentence.

"The Law of Illusion! I recall that the Heavenly Beast Sect has illusion-type cultivation techniques. Their Sect Master from three generations ago, who had mastered the Law of Illusion, died at Fellow Daoist Bai's hands."

Xia Tianxiong said.

"Illusion-type cultivation techniques!"

Ni Tianlong felt a stir of interest. He didn't yet have a suitable cultivation technique, and if they could destroy the Heavenly Beast Sect, he would acquire one.

"Precisely. The Bai family paid a heavy price to eliminate that person, but he was at the late True Immortal stage."

Xia Tianxiong said.

Ni Tianlong nodded, saying nothing further.

"Madam Xia, since you intend to attack Heavenly Beast Island, you must have considerable knowledge of the Heavenly Beast Sect's treasures and the divine abilities of their high-ranking members, right? Please tell us your plan!"

Wang Qingshan said.

Xia Sibing flicked her sleeve, and several jade slips of various colors flew out towards Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Ni Tianlong, and the others.

They caught the jade slips, swept them with their divine sense, and expressions of contemplation appeared on their faces.

The jade slips contained information on the divine abilities, treasures, and spirit beasts of the Heavenly Beast Sect's high-ranking members, as well as the sect's grand formations and foundational treasures. Of course, this information wasn't entirely comprehensive; their last engagement was many years ago. After so much time, the Heavenly Beast Sect's high-ranking members might have acquired new precious treasures, exotic beasts, or secret talismans, and their protective sect formation might have been altered.

"I possess a treasure, the Immortal-Breaking Mirror, which can weaken the power of a first-tier Immortal Formation. Fellow Daoist Ni will use the Law of Illusion to attempt to infiltrate Heavenly Beast Island. We will attack Heavenly Beast Island head-on, creating a pincer movement to seize Heavenly Beast Island."

Xia Sibing laid out her plan. There were over thirty True Immortal cultivators in the hall, most of them at the early True Immortal stage.

"This is too risky," Wang Qingshan immediately rejected Xia Sibing's suggestion. "The Heavenly Beast Sect must have significantly strengthened their defenses. A single trick won't work universally. Infiltrating Heavenly Beast Island at this point is far too dangerous. Since we have so many True Immortal cultivators, we should still launch a frontal assault on Heavenly Beast Island!"

If he were a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Beast Sect, he would also heighten their vigilance. Allowing Ni Tianlong to infiltrate Heavenly Beast Island at this moment would be too risky.

"Alright then! We'll launch a frontal assault, but we must act swiftly. Let's go now!" Xia Sibing said.

Wang Qingshan had no objections. He placed his clansmen into his spatial treasure and followed Xia Sibing and the others, departing from Purple Rainbow Island.

Heavenly Beast Island, Heavenly Beast Hall.

Tan Hu sat on the main seat, a wide smile on his face.

Over a dozen True Immortal cultivators sat on either side; they were reinforcements for the Heavenly Beast Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, your Heavenly Beast Sect has lost so much territory in such a short time..."

A medium-built, red-robed old man said with a frown. He was Xu Yifeng, a True Immortal at the Mid stage.

The Xu family was an ally of the Heavenly Beast Sect. Upon receiving the Heavenly Beast Sect's plea for aid, they immediately dispatched seven True Immortal cultivators to assist.

"Indeed!" A young woman with delicate features in a silver dress asked, puzzled. "When Fellow Daoist Qian was still here, you almost wiped out the Water Fiend Race. How long has it been since then?" She was Xie Yunxin, a True Immortal at the Mid stage.

The Xie family had sent six True Immortal cultivators to support the Heavenly Beast Sect. Of course, it wasn't free; the Heavenly Beast Sect would have to pay a substantial reward for repelling the Wang and Xia families. Without tangible benefits, allies wouldn't exert themselves.

"Our Sect Master was killed on Chaos Continent, and the Wang family's strength is not to be underestimated. True Immortal Taihao has killed a mid-stage True Immortal cultivator before; otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses," Tan Hu explained. He couldn't admit that the Heavenly Beast Sect's strength had plummeted, so he could only exaggerate the Wang family's power.

All True Immortal cultivators from the Heavenly Beast Sect on Chaos Continent had been killed, and now they had lost another seven True Immortal cultivators, causing their strength to drop drastically.

"Do you have detailed information about True Immortal Taihao?" Xie Yunxin asked. "As they say, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.'"

"We've contacted Fellow Daoist Li from the Heavenly Ghost Gate and inquired about True Immortal Taihao's situation," Tan Hu replied. "All we know is that he possesses immense physical strength, has a relatively high level of artifact refining skill, and owns a three-legged Golden Crow at the True Immortal stage."

The Wang family's True Immortal cultivators rarely engaged in combat with others, so the Heavenly Beast Sect's intelligence hall had gathered limited information and knew little about the Wang family.

"With the Wang family deploying so many experts, their rear must be vulnerable," Xu Yifeng suggested. "We could attack Green Lotus Island. We can set up an ambush along the way and besiege the stronghold to draw out their reinforcements. If we can take Green Lotus Island, that would be even better. Our next step would then be to deal with the Xia family." They chose to pick on the weaker target. The Wang family had not been established for long, making them easier to handle. Capturing Green Lotus Island would serve as a warning, and there's a high probability that the Xia family would then retreat.

"I agree," Xie Yunxin stated. "Presenting True Immortal Taihao's head to the Heavenly Ghost Gate would also earn us a favor."

"In that case, our Heavenly Beast Island's defenses would be weakened," Tan Hu said, his brows furrowed.

"Don't worry," Xu Yifeng reassured him. "We will leave a few True Immortal cultivators to assist you. Holding Heavenly Beast Island won't be a problem. With the Wang family's strength, we'll quickly take Green Lotus Island."

Tan Hu breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

After discussing the specific course of action, Xu Yifeng and ten other True Immortal cultivators departed from the Heavenly Beast Sect, heading towards Green Lotus Island.

Heavenly Beast Island still had over ten True Immortal cultivators, not counting True Immortal-stage spirit beasts. Defending Heavenly Beast Island should not be a problem.
