I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 767: Chapter 712: Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts

Li Shen Zhi, alone with tears in his eyes, reinforced the various parts of the Great Array again. The others all sat around the center of the Floating Island, and based on the situations they observed along the way, they helped Shen Huaxi correct the terrain errors in the Mountain and River Chessboard.

Hongye coiled up nearby, with his left paw resting on his right, yawning, while Jixiang ran around picking up things to eat.

Jiang Yuebai thought that Li Shen Zhi could dual-task like two people, and adding Hongye counted as three.

Generally, if other sects and families also wanted to go out to gather intelligence, they usually left about three people to guard the island.

Jiang Yuebai, also dual-tasking, withdrew his extended Divine Sense after everyone finished speaking, and tapped his finger on Shen Huaxi’s Mountain and River Chessboard. With the Floating Island Group they were on as the center, all the islands within a radius of three hundred miles appeared, and those with Great Array marks were all marked out by Jiang Yuebai.

Seeing this, Shen Huaxi was pleased. Their Divine Sense could only reach a hundred miles, while Jiang Yuebai’s reached three times that distance.

Shen Huaxi said, ”Based on my prediction, within these three days, other forces will definitely come to investigate our situation. So keeping the internal situation of the Floating Island from leaking is one aspect, but on the other hand, we must also guard against possible attacks from other things on the Floating Island.”

”Moreover, on the premise of holding for three days, we should try to investigate clearly the situation on the surrounding Floating Islands. If we can know in advance the Jade Token Totems in the hands of other sects and families, that would be excellent. I suspect that after three days, the Immortal Alliance is very likely to directly announce the totems on everyone’s Jade Tokens.”

The crowd nodded thoughtfully, all having the same premonition.

Directly disclosing everything, with clear objectives, initiating a comprehensive battle.

By then, others will become their targets, and they will become others’ targets as well. They must defend while also attacking.

Lu Nanzhi sat upright and spoke gravely, ”The fear is that the target is not just one.”

Jiang Yuebai also worried about this. They had the Tiger Head Jade Token, but what if there were seventeen or eighteen pairs of Tiger Head Jade Tokens?

By then, there could be a situation where all seventeen or eighteen sects come to attack them. Of course, the probability is small, but at least half will come to seize the Token, and a few unforeseen ones as well, making the situation bleak.

This is why Shen Huaxi suggested that it would be best to figure out in advance the Totems on the Tokens held by other sects and families. If they can find the other half of the Tiger Head Token in advance, they can strike before the chaotic battle begins and focus on defending the island until the first phase is over.

The importance of the first three days is self-evident.

Wenn Jian spoke first, ”I can draw several Maps of Hundred Birds Returning to the Nest, and control the birds to scatter and investigate, which will be more efficient.”

Wenn Jian cultivated Vast Righteous Qi and followed Words and Laws Follow, but later became obsessed with the Painting Dao. Over the years in the Nine Rivers Realm, she connected with many Painting Dao-related things from the Star Alliance and became skilled in painting.

Using Spiritual Ink to paint birds, indistinguishable from the real.

Ge Yuchan immediately followed, ”Huaixi thinks the most dangerous places can be given to me. I can see through their Great Array barriers.”

Muh Wushuang also said, ”I am an expert in arraying. I can investigate all the arrays laid down by these surrounding sects and families in advance and identify any flaws.”

Fang Yuxing gripped the sword in his hand, ”Just tell me who to kill, Huaixi, and I’ll strike wherever you direct.”

Yuu Qiuqi and Lu Nanzhi nodded together, while Tang Weimian looked around, ”I don’t know what to do, but I’m up for anything.”

Everyone’s trust made Shen Huaxi very moved, but he still worried, saying, ”As for stealth techniques, naturally, Junior Sister Ge is the strongest. If we want not to stir the grass while still investigating thoroughly...”

”Why can’t we stir the grass?” Jiang Yuebai suddenly questioned, her voice filled with doubt, ”I think we can do the opposite.”

Everyone looked straight at Jiang Yuebai, who took out the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting from behind and slapped it on the ground with a mischievous grin.

”Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, fish in troubled waters, how about it?”

The hundreds of ghosts in the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting have been captured from the Yin Si Ghost Gate over the years, and Jiang Yuebai has always wanted to try the power of the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts.

Shen Huaxi pondered briefly, his eyes brightening with a hint of helplessness, ”Aren’t you worried that someone will resent you after the Qingyun Conference ends and give you trouble?”

Jiang Yuebai’s idea was to indiscriminately cause trouble around, attacking the arrays of other sects and families, and using the chaos to gather intelligence. If any kills could be easily made in passing, it would be even better.

At this moment, most people are likely in a post-battle condition, busy arraying, resting, and discussing follow-up plans.

At such a time, if they suddenly charged with great momentum, it would definitely scare people thoroughly.

But evidently, Jiang Yuebai’s suggestion excited everyone, their fighting spirit raised.

Seeing this, Shen Huaxi said, ”Since that is the case, let’s follow Senior Sister Jiang’s idea. Among us, in terms of combat strength, naturally Senior Sister Jiang and Senior Sister Lu are the strongest. Then let’s split into two routes, with this as the boundary.”

Shen Huaxi drew a line on the Mountain and River Chessboard.

”I’ll go left.” Jiang Yuebai interjected before Shen Huaxi arranged anything, sensing her Little Cloud Mushroom in that direction, she had to go investigate.

Shen Huaxi noticed Jiang Yuebai’s intent, but didn’t mind, knowing Jiang Yuebai wouldn’t harm everyone.

Shen Huaxi had Jiang Yuebai lead Ge Yuchan, Yuu Qiuqi, and Fang Yuxing as a team to the left side.

Lu Nanzhi led Muh Wushuang, Tang Weimian, and Wenn Jian to the right side, with Shen Huaxi temporarily following the side led by Lu Nanzhi.

”Senior Sister Jiang and Senior Sister Lu will be in charge of offense, while the others will gather intelligence amid the chaos. Two days from now, everyone must return. If anyone is seriously injured, they must return immediately.”

After arranging everything, everyone prepares individually.

Jiang Yuebai gathered Ge Yuchan, Yuu Qiuqi, and Fang Yuxing to discuss her plan, which was mostly about her causing havoc, while Ge Yuchan would stealthily seek out Jade Tokens, ideally taking them directly.

Yuu Qiuqi, with many things in his Hundred Treasures Box, ensured everyone’s safety, making sure the retreat path was unobstructed and avoiding encirclement.

Fang Yuxing would act according to the situation, assisting wherever needed.

”Jixiang, let’s go!”

Jiang Yuebai tucked Jixiang into her embrace, waiting for Li Shen Zhi to open the Great Array layer by layer, waiting for thirty or forty breaths without seeing the Great Array fully opened.

Fang Yuxing was at a loss, and couldn’t help but glance at Li Shen Zhi.

The crowd was originally worried whether Li Shen Zhi could hold the line alone, but seeing him layer twenty or thirty arrays, with a pile of materials still not fully laid out beside him, they all couldn’t help but chuckle in disbelief, but felt relieved as well.

Finally, the Great Array opened, and Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi led everyone as they split into two paths, swiftly charging out from the Floating Island Group.

Black thunderclouds gradually closed behind them, lightning and thunder roaring, without any trace of array markings.

In their region, within a radius of ten miles, there were no other Floating Islands, only some small, non-island rocks floating in the air.

This place never experienced night, always remaining in daylight.

Sprinting ten miles away, Jiang Yuebai held the Taihe Umbrella and gracefully landed on a large floating rock, her gaze fiercely fixed on a nearby Floating Island dense with forests, countless thick vines twisted into braid-like forms, linking surrounding smaller islets, swaying with the wind.

”There’s someone on the island.”

Ge Yuchan materialized like an apparition beside Jiang Yuebai, having already seen through the island’s disguise array.

Yuu Qiuqi and Fang Yuxing followed closely behind, Jiang Yuebai swept them with a glance, raising her hand to draw the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting from behind, shaking it in the wind.

Suddenly, fierce winds roared, the world changed colors, and hundreds of ghosts poured out from the painting mightily, charging towards the Floating Island ahead.
