After Wang Hong removed the ninth Large Formation, several Transmission Talismans' radiance transformed into his hands.

These Transmission Talismans were from different people and different times, but they all contained the same message.

The fourth-tier Patriarch of the Qing Fox Clan has emerged from seclusion, commanding all affiliated forces of the Qing Fox Clan to jointly besiege Yunxia Mountain.

Countless Demonic Beasts are currently converging on Yunxia Mountain from all directions. Based on their current speed, they will likely arrive in about a month.

After reviewing all these Transmission Talismans, Wang Hong's brows slightly furrowed as he walked outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave mansion's gate, Xu Lun hurriedly approached and knelt down before him.

"What is the meaning of this? Please, get up!" Wang Hong asked calmly.

"East Master! Without East Master's consent, I acted on my own, and I request East Master's punishment!"

"Tell me, what did you do without authorization?" Wang Hong remained composed and did not show any emotion.

Xu Lun proceeded to recount everything he had done during this time. His actions mainly involved allocating resources, depleting all the accumulated supplies in the warehouse, and using them on the cultivators of Yunxia Mountain. Additionally, he had organized the excavation of all Spiritual Herbs on Yunxia Mountain, a task still in progress due to its scale.

After listening to Xu Lun's explanation, Wang Hong smiled. "Get up! You did well in this matter. You have a military background, and you know that decisiveness is required in such situations."

Wang Hong appreciated Xu Lun's actions this time. Being able to adapt to the situation and make decisions accordingly was suitable for handling significant responsibilities.

"Notify everyone to gather in the conference hall."

"Alright! I'll do it right away," Xu Lun replied enthusiastically and left.

In the conference hall, all those who held sway on Yunxia Mountain were present.

More than twenty Golden Core Cultivators gathered, constituting the current management team of Yunxia Mountain.

Among these individuals were Wang Hong's old subordinates, such as Xu Lun, Zhang Chunfeng, Luo Zhongjie, Zhao Ning, and others.

There were also talented individuals Wang Hong had nurtured in later stages, like Yang Tiezhu and Ling Xue.

Furthermore, there were latecomers to the sect, such as Sloppy Old Daoist, Jia Liang, Chen Xiaofeng, and others.

Some excelled in management, some in combat, and others in various skills.

"I believe everyone is already aware of the specific situation. Currently, in comparison to the Qing Fox Demon Clan's strength, we are at a significant disadvantage."

"Feel free to voice your thoughts, and let's discuss together," Wang Hong said from the head of the table. By sharing ideas, they could identify potential flaws in their plans.

"Based on the Demon Clan's past battle tactics, I speculate that they will still utilize their numerical advantage. They will start by sending tens of thousands of low-tier Demon Clan members as cannon fodder to deplete our strength and then launch an all-out attack with high-tier Demonic Beasts."

"In terms of numbers, we are far behind them in low-tier forces. I believe our first priority should be dealing with their low-tier Demonic Beasts," He Yuan suggested.

"We have already trained over twenty thousand Mortal warriors. If we organize them all, we might have a fighting chance against these low-tier Demon Clan members."

"However, this approach would likely lead to the complete annihilation of these twenty thousand individuals. They are the carefully nurtured seeds, and losing them all would be a considerable loss," someone remarked with concern.

"In fact, we can take advantage of the fact that the Demon Clan's encirclement is not yet complete. We can gather our forces and break through from one direction, then launch a rear attack on the Demon Clan."

"I think..."

For a moment, everyone chimed in with their opinions, while also pointing out potential flaws in others' plans.

After listening for a while, Wang Hong had a general idea in his mind. He cleared his throat, and the room fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to him, and he spoke slowly:

"Everyone's suggestions are excellent, and after listening to all of you, I've come up with an idea.

Here's the plan: first, all Mortal warriors outside of Yunxia Mountain should go into hiding. Once the Demonic Beasts pass through their area, they can disrupt the rear and eliminate small groups of Demonic Beasts opportunistically.

Meanwhile, the Mortals on Yunxia Mountain should enter the formation and assist with the defense. Among the cultivators on the mountain, we'll select sixty Golden Core Stage cultivators to infiltrate and scatter outside of the Demon Clan's encirclement.

These sixty individuals will quietly make their way to Qingxu Mountain and seize the Qing Fox Clan's main stronghold.

This time, almost the entire Qing Fox Clan is mobilized, even their Patriarch Qingyu has come out, leaving their old lair vulnerable.

When the Qingxu Sect evacuated previously, they left many things behind. Additionally, over the past few decades, the Qing Fox Demon Clan has likely accumulated numerous treasures. This is a perfect opportunity for us to bring it all back.

Do you all think this plan is feasible?"

"Brilliant! This plan is excellent!"

"East Master is a master strategist, deciding the outcome from a thousand miles away!"

The Ma Brothers were the first to jump in with praise. They were determined not to let anyone else steal the limelight in such matters.

People in the room felt a bit annoyed, as the Ma Brothers didn't offer any substantial input during the earlier lively discussion. Instead, they were busy eating the spirit fruit laid out on the table.

Now that East Master had proposed a plan, the Ma Brothers immediately rushed to flatter him, leaving little room for others to participate.

Since they couldn't get a word in, Luo Zhongjie finally spoke up, pondering, "However, with this plan, Yunxia Mountain will likely have a hard time resisting the collective siege of the Demon Clan."

"We were already at a disadvantage, and now we're splitting off more than half of our Golden Core Cultivators. The remaining forces will be even less capable of taking on the Demon Clan."

"I will be willing to pay a hefty price to invite the Immortal Way Trading Company to assist us against the Demon Clan. Additionally, the sixty Golden Core cultivators responsible for raiding Qingxu Mountain's stronghold will primarily focus on breaking their formations."

"After dismantling the Large Formation on Qingxu Mountain, most of them will return to assist in the battle. We'll only need to leave a dozen or so to seize the treasures. Once we raid the Qing Fox Clan, the news will surely reach the Demonic Beasts participating in the siege here."

With Wang Hong's proposed plan, there were no objections from the others. They all agreed and deeply admired Wang Hong even more.

After the discussion was settled, everyone dispersed to carry out their assigned tasks based on the plan.

As Sloppy Old Daoist was about to leave the conference hall, Wang Hong suddenly called out to him.

Sloppy Old Daoist stopped in the hall, straightening his robes. He also used his fingernails to squash a few fleas. After everyone else had left, he turned around with a smile and asked, "I wonder what orders East Master has?"

Wang Hong tossed him a bottle of pills and said, "The Spiritual Objects have been used up. There are twenty Ink Jade Pills in there. Thank you for your help last time."
