Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 909 - 883 Tactical Deployment
Chapter 909: Chapter 883 Tactical Deployment
The Wudang Patriarch nodded and smiled slightly, "What Valley Master Tang said is very true. I’ve been somewhat worried as well. Seeing Valley Master Tang, my heart is much more reassured; we’ll rely entirely on you this time."
"It’s only proper. In the face of disaster, our Ancient Martial World should unite to overcome the hardships. Only by doing so, can we prevent the Dark World from exploiting any opportunities," Tangyu nodded and said.
Both the Wudang Patriarch and the Sect Master nodded.
Others looked at Tangyu with shock in their eyes. The Ancient Martial World actually has such a young Imaginary Realm expert, and Myriad Saints Valley has produced such a young Valley Master.
Tangyu’s name, why has it never been heard before?
Fang Qiutian and others looked ashen and embarrassed, quite a spectacle. They felt severely provoked, and their original arrogance was greatly dampened. In the presence of an Imaginary Realm expert, they could only suppress their egos.
Tangyu turned to Fang Qiutian and said, "Fang Qiutian, everyone knows your strength, but this isn’t about fighting courageously, it’s about battles, large-scale battles, involving the life and death of the Wudang Holy Land. I don’t know if you have any understanding of this Dark World’s attack strength, but from my observation, their power is incredibly strong. If they really launch a massive attack, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold them off. So, we absolutely can’t be careless; otherwise, we’ll suffer the consequences."
Fang Qiutian’s face was unpleasant, but he calmed down a bit, naturally knowing Tangyu’s words were not false.
"I was too hasty earlier," Fang Qiutian muttered, indirectly admitting his mistake.
Tangyu said, "Everyone is anxious; being anxious is good. It was just a small misunderstanding earlier, let’s leave it at that."
The Sect Master also said, "I deeply thank everyone for your urgency regarding Wudang Mountain. Let us start discussing our countermeasures."
Everyone finally snapped back to reality and nodded.
The Sect Master explained the situation here, and after hearing his account, Tangyu frowned, confirming his observations. This time the Dark World’s attack force is incredibly fearsome, and the previous two attacks only utilized a portion of their power, without launching a full-scale assault.
On the Dark World’s side, they don’t seem to be in a hurry to capture Wudang Mountain, just training soldiers, warming up first.
The Sect Master said, "Fang Qiutian, do you have any thoughts?"
Fang Qiutian said, "From the opponent’s intention, the Dark World seems to be waiting for us to slow down, then launch a strong offensive, possibly aiming to catch us all in one net, to deplete the power of Skies Beyond the Skies. They’ve planned this cunning strategy very precisely."
The Sect Master nodded, "I think so as well. Judging from the battlefield, we can only respond with calmness, focusing on defense without active offense. Strong opponents require us to hold the city steadfastly, watch and respond to their changes, and use constant strategy to adapt. Only this way can we preserve our slight advantage. My Wudang Mountain is also a perilous place; if they want to attack the mountain, it will be quite difficult. Regarding tactical arrangements, does Fang Qiutian have any good ideas?"
Fang Qiutian said, "In such circumstances, the best approach is naturally to respond with calmness. Blind initiatives will surely backfire. Our most important task now is holding the city, preventing the Dark World from capturing and looting."
"Exactly. Since Fang Qiutian agrees, let’s discuss how to deploy tactics and how to defend," the Sect Master nodded and then looked at Tangyu, "I wonder if Valley Master Tang has any insights?"
Tangyu shook his head, "I have no opinions; let’s proceed as you all decide."
After a round of discussions, they formulated a series of countermeasures, ensuring the tactical arrangements were flawless.
We have to admit, Fang Qiutian has some thoughts in this area. The Art of War by Sun Tzu is cleverly employed, but we don’t know if this is just theory without practice.
After the discussion, the Sect Master said, "For those who traveled far, I have prepared a feast. In these extraordinary times, we won’t hold a banquet; shortly we’ll send food to your guest rooms. Please return to your rooms to rest; the Dark World might launch their third offensive soon."
A man in his thirties approached Tangyu and his party respectfully, "Valley Master Tang, please follow me."
"Thank you," Tangyu nodded and followed him out of the Council Hall, arriving soon at an independent courtyard.
"Valley Master Tang, my humble abode is simple and crude, so please bear with it. My name is Peng Zheng; if Valley Master Tang needs anything, feel free to instruct me," Peng Zheng said.
Tangyu nodded, "There is indeed something I’d like to trouble you with. Where are the people from the Liang family of Ancient Martial? Could you bring them over?"
Peng Zheng immediately nodded, "Of course, Valley Master Tang, please go inside to rest; I’ll fetch them right away."
"Good, thank you," Tangyu said.
Peng Zheng nodded and promptly left.
This courtyard is somewhat simple, but it’s clean and clear, evidently just tidied up. However, Tangyu and his party didn’t mind; as long as there was a place to settle down, it was fine.
Soon, Peng Zheng returned with more than ten people. Liang Youshan eagerly ran up, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Youwei..."
The Liang family of Ancient Martial is quite sparse, relatively declining, with only four in the Innate Realm. Fortunately, Liang Youshan’s strength is impressive now, bringing glory to the family.
The Liang family welcomed Liang Youshan with obvious excitement and joy; Liang Youshan is now the family’s pride, their greatest honor.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Liang Youshan said, "Grandfather, Father, let me introduce you. This is Tangyu, whom I’ve mentioned before. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. These two are my good brothers, Wang Wei and Wu Fei. The three of us owe our current achievements to Tangyu’s generosity."
The Liang family’s gaze, filled with utmost respect and gratitude, fell upon Tangyu.
Liang Youshan’s grandfather bowed to Tangyu, "The great benevolence and virtue you have shown us, Master Tang, is something our Liang family can never repay. Please accept my deep bow."
Tangyu immediately felt embarrassed and quickly helped the old man up, "Old Master, I don’t deserve this. You’re shortening my life span with such gestures."
Tangyu’s amiable nature further increased the respect the Liang family held for him.
While Liang Youshan and his family enjoyed the joy of reunion, Tangyu stepped outside, wishing to wander around Wudang Mountain.
Wudang Mountain is greatly renowned in the secular world, often referred to as Taoism’s Holy Land. Of course, such literary embellishments are the creations of some literati. In reality, Wudang Mountain is a place of cultivation, a Holy Land for Ancient Martial Arts.
Wudang Mountain, indeed a place blessed by nature and man, with lush greenery and an aura of ancient mystique.
The ancient structures, though not as grand as Myriad Saints Valley, impart a sense of the Great Dao with their weathered appearance, as if etched with the decadence of the sun and moon, the baptism of time, revealing a path of the human Great Dao.
What is cultivation?
Cultivation is the cultivation of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Walking within, Tangyu couldn’t help but feel pleased, casually observing the surrounding scenery.
Some disciples of Wudang Mountain, who had never seen Tangyu before, looked at him with curious eyes, which Tangyu didn’t mind at all.
Standing tall at the peak of a ridge gives one a view of all the mountains, small as they may seem.
Standing on Wudang Mountain and looking around, one indeed gets a feeling akin to ascending Mount Tai. Standing high allows one to see far, one’s thoughts become clear, as if one could step onto the heavens in a single stride.
This feeling gave Tangyu a strange thought in his heart, yet he couldn’t articulate it, as if something was pulsating in the dark, but was firmly grasped by an invisible hand, unable to break free.
Unknowingly, Tangyu arrived in front of a great hall, about to step in, when a stern voice called out, "Halt! This is the Tai Chi Hall, a revered place in Wudang Mountain. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter."
Startled by the voice, Tangyu halted and looked over, seeing a young man in his early twenties approaching, looking at Tangyu solemnly, just an Ancient Martial Artist at the Innate Realm.
"Tai Chi Hall, sounds interesting. Can’t I go in and take a look?" Tangyu asked.
The young man, looking somewhat impatient, replied, "Of course not. Didn’t I make myself clear just now? This is a key location in Wudang Mountain. No unauthorized persons are allowed. Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Move along."
As he waved Tangyu away, Tangyu felt slightly frustrated. To think that he, a formidable Imaginary Realm expert, would be shooed away by a mere Innate Realm youth.
"Bi Qing, do not be rude." At this moment, a reprimanding voice came, and a figure swiftly approached—it was Peng Zheng.
Peng Zheng, with an apologetic expression, said to Tangyu, "Master Tang, please forgive us for the offense."
Seeing such reverence from Peng towards the figure in front of them, calling him Master Tang, Bi Qing was instantly dumbfounded and didn’t know what was happening.
Peng Zheng turned back to glare at Bi Qing, scolding irritably, "Quickly apologize to Master Tang."
Only then did Bi Qing regain his composure, quickly and nervously saying, "I apologize, Master Tang. I didn’t know it was you, so—"
Tangyu, with a slight smile, waved his hand, "It’s fine, it’s fine. You’re quite dutiful. Since this is a key location in Wudang Mountain, I won’t trouble you by going inside. Well then, I’ll explore elsewhere."
Peng Zheng quickly said, "Master Tang, you’ve misunderstood. Although this is a key location, there is no issue at all if you wish to go in and take a look. Come, Master Tang, I’ll take you inside."
Tangyu was indeed curious about the Tai Chi Hall, so he nodded, "If that’s the case, I’ll go in for a look. Thank you for your trouble."
"Master Tang, you’re too kind. Please," Peng Zheng said.
After these two left, Bi Qing stood there in a fog of confusion, very puzzled, wondering what was really going on. Who could tell him about the origin of this Master Tang?
However, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that this Master Tang was reasonable, otherwise, he might not have escaped some punishment.
