Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1185: Chapter 472: The Lord’s Sage Wisdom

In the main hall of the Tianyang Star Hall, the Tianyang Star Lord’s expression was grave.

On one hand, there were snowstorm-like calls for help.

On the other hand, there were various hidden worries!

The disciples stationed at the various branches and institutes of Dachen by the Tianyang Star Hall, after twenty years of training, one-third have become core elites of the Tianyang Star Hall, and the other two-thirds are not bad either.

Although the top talents had all been brought to the main hall of the Tianyang Star Hall for training.

But the remaining ones are also an important component of the Tianyang Star Hall’s power.

Normally, the power stationed by the Tianyang Star Hall in Dachen’s various states and counties is stronger than the power stationed by Dachen in those regions.

But the problem is, Dachen is fighting on its home turf.

Now, with the Star-picking Tower’s transmission completely shut down, Dachen’s elite forces can support continuously, while the Tianyang Star Hall has no quick reinforcements.

More crucially, before the incident in Mei State, the Tianyang Star Hall had previously hidden remnants of the Blood God Sect, and they were deeply hidden.

This investigation took a month.

If something had been found, it would be fine.

But after a month, nothing of value was discovered.

This is somewhat terrifying!

It has led the Tianyang Star Lord to now suspect everyone he sees.

For instance, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and even the Emperor Dahong are suspected of being behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could it be hidden so deeply?

Yet no evidence can be found.

Dachen, however, took action at this juncture.

The Tianyang Star Lord is now wondering if there is any connection between these events?

If he were to go all out, would that be exactly what the mastermind wants?

But the problem is, not rescuing?

That is absolutely out of the question!

If they watch as the forces stationed in Dachen’s branches and institutes are completely annihilated by Dachen, the damage to the Tianyang Star Hall would be too great.

Perhaps one-fifth of their elite forces would be completely wiped out.

Another important point is, if they don’t rescue and these elites die in battle, how will the survivors perceive this?

Will it not exacerbate the internal turmoil of the Tianyang Star Hall?

The Tianyang Star Lord has many concerns.

But the Tianyang Star Lord understands even more clearly, if you don’t cut the knot quickly, you will suffer for it!

In a flash of lightning, he made the first decision!

They must rescue!

However, Dachen launching attacks across various states and counties simultaneously greatly increases the difficulty of the rescue.

In this situation, holding firm is useless.

Retreat!

They must pull these elite forces back.

Withdrawing the fist to strike again is the most powerful approach!

In an instant, many plans flashed through the Tianyang Star Lord’s mind.

For example, concentrating the Eighth Tier experts to directly attack Dachen’s heartland, which is the most aggressive strategy.

They might succeed in one battle!

Or it might drag the Tianyang Star Hall into a quagmire.

With significant losses!

Who benefits the most from significant losses?

The Cangming Star Hall!

This made the Tianyang Star Lord gnash his teeth in hatred against the Cangming Star Lord at that moment!

He is certain that if he fights to the bitter end with Dachen, the biggest beneficiary would be the Cangming Star Hall.

By that time, he would be foolishly making wedding clothes for the Cangming Star Hall.

Or even for the hidden hand behind the scenes in the Tianyang Star Hall!

This option was instantly ruled out!

Caution is still necessary!

A steady and sound approach is still needed!

Avoiding aggression is the prudent route!

Considering all aspects, the Tianyang Star Lord set the tone for this matter, and the overall direction of the rescue mission.

As for the specific details, he doesn’t need to supplement them one by one.

Otherwise, if he did all the work himself, what’s the point of having so many people?

He is the Star Lord.

Not a laborer!

After a brief moment of thought, the Tianyang Star Lord made a decision.

In an instant, the upper echelon of the Tianyang Star Hall, under the command of the Great Elder Wang Kan, began to get busy.

Quickly, within just a few dozen breaths, two plans were devised and submitted to the Tianyang Star Lord for review.

The main theme of both plans was the same, aligning with the direction previously set by the Tianyang Star Lord.

To maximize the chances of withdrawing the disciples stationed in Dachen’s branches and institutes, wealth comes second, and the families can be handled with Dachen diplomatically later.

To withdraw them, they must deploy elite forces to support them.

Because the most aggressive possibility had already been vetoed by the Tianyang Star Lord.

Hence, the Elder Council provided two most feasible plans.

Plan one is to send only Seventh Tier experts to various states and counties for support, while Eighth Tier experts from the Tianyang Star Hall patrol the borders to hold Dachen’s Eighth Tier forces in check.

In terms of the number of Seventh Tier experts, the Tianyang Star Hall holds an absolute advantage, but due to the limitations of space and time, and the transport convenience of Dachen, this advantage is leveled!

The advantage of this plan is that it can effectively control conflict escalation, while ensuring absolute safety within the Tianyang Star Hall.

However, the efficiency of support and rescue is not high.

Plan two is slightly more aggressive.

According to known intelligence, Dachen only has three Eighth Tier experts, while Tianyang Star Hall has eight; if they utilize one of the two Eighth Tier Ritual Officers from the Dahong court, they can have nine.

With the Tianyang Star Lord and several powerful elders stepping in to restrain Dachen’s three Eighth Tier experts, if the opportunity arises, they could consider killing or severely injuring one of them.

At least four to five Eighth Tier experts will be occupied.

The remaining Eighth Tier experts will quickly move to support, and on the way to support, they will try to kill as many of Dachen’s elites as possible.

Reciprocation is only proper!

Such matters must be met with reciprocity!

When presented with the two plans, the Tianyang Star Lord only pondered for two breaths before making a decision.

The second plan!

Though the first plan is cautious, it’s too cowardly!

The more cowardly people are, the more likely they are to be bullied!

Between forces, it is the same!

Only by displaying power and instilling terror, will the enemy respect and fear you!

Quickly, Tianyang Star Lord and the elders discussed the more specific action plans.

In the specific action plans, Tianyang Star Lord’s arrangements were more cautious and bolder.

”If this is the case, let’s act.

Remember, the eighth tier sent out to assist must be more ruthless in their methods, no need to hold back!

Anyone who dares to obstruct you, regardless of their tier, will be exterminated!

As for Dachen’s eighth tier.

Rest assured, there are very few eighth tiers in Dachen, they absolutely won’t have the chance to trouble you.

Of course, what requires caution must be cautious.” Tianyang Star Lord instructed.

The crowd of seventh and eighth tiers quickly took their orders and left.

At the same time, Tianyang Star Lord also prepared to set off.

He had his own task.

His task was to contain Dachen’s National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

Currently, apart from him, no one can restrain Cheng Yuxiao, so he must personally take action.

But before departing, Tianyang Star Lord took out a set of Directional Space Movement Array Plate and refined the spatial marker within.

The spatial marker turned into the main hall of Tianyang Star Hall.

If there is any change in the main hall, he can return immediately.

As long as he is present, the grand scheme of Tianyang Star Hall will not be disturbed.

In the next moment, Tianyang Star Lord transformed into starlight and swiftly departed.

******

In a mysterious underground great hall, Elder Gao Shiji of Blood God Sect was using the Mandarin Duck Seal to report to the Vice Sect Hierarch.

[Sir, the latest intelligence, Dachen has taken advantage of the national mourning to launch a surprise attack on Tianyang Star Hall’s branches in Dachen, the conflict is intense; to ensure these elite disciples return safely, Tianyang Star Hall’s eighth tier experts have fully mobilized!

This opportunity is once in a lifetime, should we take it?]

Soon, the Mandarin Duck Seal transmitted the voice of the Vice Sect Hierarch.

[Have you forgotten the lesson from encountering Cheng Yuxiao previously?]

[The combat power of top eighth tier like Tianyang, Cangming, and Cheng Yuxiao is even stronger than we imagined, the Luomei Manor incident was a wake-up call. If Cheng Yuxiao is so formidable, imagine how strong Tianyang Star Lord, who has always been reputed to overpower Cheng Yuxiao, must be?

Continue to hibernate.

Take small bites and consume quietly!

I see the chaos in the world is emerging!

Dachen has already started to rise, already in conflict with Tianyang Star Hall, the forces of both sides will inevitably be weakened.

Moreover, Cheng Yuxiao has sworn to the heavens that in the future, he will have a death battle with Tianyang Star Lord.

We develop in secret, waiting for the opportune moment!

Perhaps, in this wave of events, as long as we patiently hibernate, Tianyang Star Lord’s efforts to investigate us will surely decrease!

Besides, with Tianyang Star Lord’s cunning style.

This might be part of a baiting strategy!

Order everyone to continue remaining silent, unless ordered, do not awaken!]

After hearing the message from the Mandarin Duck Seal, the elegantly faced Gao Shiji also smiled, [Hierarch is wise.]

...

*****

Cangming Star Hall.

Great Elder Sun Xianzu, Second Elder Wang Yue, and Fourth Elder Fei Zheng jointly requested to meet Cangming Star Lord Wu Shou.

Seeing the elders all smiling, Cangming Star Lord knew their intent.

Many intelligence pieces he also grasped firsthand.

”What brings such joy to the elders?” Cangming Star Lord asked with a smile.

”Lord, the latest news, Dachen’s National Master Cheng Yuxiao took advantage of the national mourning to officially launch a surprise attack on the elites stationed at Tianyang Star Hall’s branches in Dachen,” said Great Elder Sun Xianzu.

”Lord, the latest battle report, Dachen was well-prepared, and eighth tier Elder Peng led the crowd to successfully breach Tianyang Star Hall’s branch in Wan, annihilating over four hundred elites, and capturing others,” Second Elder Wang Yue reported.

”Lord, outside of Wanyi, the latest battle report, Dachen Xihai State Branch has already preemptively broken through the Tianyang Star Hall’s branch in Great Chen Xihai State, achieving amazing results with minimal losses.

However, the battles in other states and counties are still in a stalemate.

Even while being surprised, the branches of Tianyang Star Hall were alert earlier on, though suffering losses, they quickly activated the Hall Guardian Array, currently consuming strength.

But according to the latest intelligence, Jing State and Thunder State may not hold out much longer.

These attack teams are all led by seventh tier individuals.” Fourth Elder Fei Zheng stated.

When the two finished speaking, Great Elder Sun Xianzu cupped his hands and said, ”Lord, according to the inside line message, Tianyang Star Hall’s eighth tiers have fully mobilized but acted separately to rescue the trapped elites within Great Chen Realm.

Various secret lines have confirmed this message as true.”

Upon hearing, Cangming Star Lord looked at the elders with a smile, ”Then what are your thoughts?”

”Lord, the opportunity is rare!”

”Lord, Tianyang Star Lord must be restrained by Cheng Yuxiao, and at least three or four of the eighth tiers will be occupied.

Tianyang Star Hall’s maneuverable eighth tier power is halved, not to mention the others are acting separately.

Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime!”

”Lord, seize the opportunity; it never comes again!” Great Elder Sun Xianzu advised.

Upon hearing, Cangming Star Lord nodded, ”Tianyang Star Hall has at least four eighth tier elders acting separately. These four are our potential targets.

But our goal is not merely to weaken Tianyang Star Hall.

Both Tianyang Star Hall and Dachen must be weakened.

Continue analyzing intelligence, select two targets for action.

Let the remaining two or three engage in consuming Dachen’s strength.”

”Lord, your wisdom is unparalleled.”

Great Elder Sun Xianzu, in his excitement, contributed a great deal of emotional value.

Then asked, ”May I ask Lord, how to arrange the attack personnel?”

”The attack personnel must all be eighth tiers!

Also, count me in!

This increases the perfection of the operation!”

Understand?”

Cangming Star Lord added to the elders, ”This time, the action must be a lightning strike!

With absolute superiority, instantly execute, leaving no evidence.

If asked, say it was Dachen’s doing!

Let them bite each other!

We at Cangming Star Hall, are all in closed cultivation of the Great Gathering Star Pattern.”

”Lord, your wisdom is unparalleled!” The elders exclaimed in unison.
