Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: We Also Have Reinforcements

Fang Bai and Gu Li, among others, decided after discussion to select a few thousand elite disciples from Green Bamboo Stronghold. Fang Bai would subject them to a month of intensive training, and once trained, launch a surprise attack on Swiftwind Valley, annihilating them with a lightning-fast assault.

This so-called intensive training essentially involved Fang Bai explaining Martial Dao to the selected elite disciples. And after they made a certain degree of progress in strength, he would impart to them a multi-person training Formation called "Heaven’s Net."

The disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold primarily cultivated Wood System Martial Arts, and the "Heaven’s Net" Formation was a wondrous array based on Wood System Martial Arts that was both offensive and defensive and immensely powerful.

The "Heaven’s Net" Formation was divided into a small array and a large array.

The small array consisted of forty-nine people, while the large array was made up of four hundred ninety people.

Whether it was the small array or the large array, once the Formation was set, it could trap and kill enemies several times their number.

For instance, the small "Heaven’s Net" Formation made up of forty-nine people could annihilate several hundred martial artists of the same rank. Meanwhile, the large array, consisting of four hundred ninety people, could trap and kill thousands of martial artists of the same rank within the Formation.

Hence, the "Heaven’s Net" Formation was most suitable for large-scale battles involving thousands or even tens of thousands.

In Fang Bai’s words, the few thousand elite disciples selected from Green Bamboo Stronghold, after training under his supervision and becoming familiar with the "Heaven’s Net" Formation, could easily defeat the tens of thousands of disciples from Swiftwind Valley.

Before this, Fang Bai successfully healed Su Linglong’s injuries and helped Su Linglong, Zhuge Lian, Qian Jiao, and Linghu Baimei advance several realms in their cultivation level, miracles that deeply convinced Gu Li and other senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold of his words.

What excited Gu Li and other senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold even more was that if the "Heaven’s Net" Formation imparted by Fang Bai was as powerful as he said, then no other power in Weixiang Nation or even the entire Tiansheng Continent could contend with Green Bamboo Stronghold.

A month flew by swiftly, and after a month of gathering their energy and strength, each one of them was in their optimal state. Fang Bai, who had supervised their training, now appeared before Gu Li and the others with the few thousand disciples from Green Bamboo Stronghold.

Upon close observation, Gu Li and the others noticed that, compared to a month before, the thousands of Green Bamboo Stronghold disciples trained under Fang Bai seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. The cultivation realm of each of them had improved to varying degrees, and every face was filled with pride and confidence. They stood like spears, their aura seemingly capable of shaking mountains.

To verify whether the "Heaven’s Net" Formation was as miraculous as Fang Bai had claimed, Gu Li personally joined a large "Heaven’s Net" Formation created by several hundred disciples. Despite exerting all his power and attempting to break through left and right, he failed to escape.

Seeing this, the Elder of Elixir Hall, Zou Qing, couldn’t resist the urge to challenge the small "Heaven’s Net" Formation composed of forty-nine Green Bamboo Stronghold disciples. After a fierce battle, he was ultimately exhausted and defeated.

From this point on, every one of the over ten thousand disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold was completely convinced by the miraculous abilities of Fang Bai.

"With this Formation, why worry about Swiftwind Valley not being destroyed?"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Gu Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

That day, the few thousand disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold dispersed, led by Gu Li and other senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold, they split into several groups and stealthily headed towards Swiftwind Valley, planning to regroup near Swiftwind Valley and catch it completely off guard.

Before setting off, Fang Bai used a large number of Essence Stones provided by the Green Bamboo Stronghold to set up several Defensive Arrays. This way, even if most of the disciples of the Green Bamboo Stronghold left, they could still hold out for a while when facing formidable enemies, without worrying about concerns from behind.

......

At the same time, far away in Swiftwind Valley, from top to bottom, there was shock upon receiving the news of the deaths of Elder Qiu Heming, Steward He Yushu, and the direct disciples Feng Shijun and Feng Shijie.

Valley Master Feng Lingtian was furious to the extreme and mobilized all resources of the Swiftwind Valley to thoroughly investigate the matter. The findings were that the deaths of these disciples of Swiftwind Valley were all related to a Martial Artist named Fang Bai.

Feng Lingtian then ordered to track down Fang Bai’s whereabouts, discovering that Fang Bai’s recent movements were in the Green Bamboo Stronghold.

Swiftwind Valley and Green Bamboo Stronghold had been in both open and secret conflict for many years; they could be considered archenemies. Both had planted spies within the other’s Sect, and although these spies could hardly access core secrets of the Sect, Swiftwind Valley still managed to gather some information about Fang Bai.

What surprised Feng Lingtian was that the unknown Fang Bai was so remarkable that he not only killed five powerful members of their Swiftwind Valley but also healed the heavily injured Su Linglong and became an Elder of Tribute in the Green Bamboo Stronghold.

However, the information that Swiftwind Valley could obtain was just that. As for the attack on Swiftwind Valley, the Green Bamboo Stronghold had sealed off the news tightly, limited to only a dozen or so top members. Even those disciples of the Green Bamboo Stronghold who were trained under Fang Bai’s supervision and prepared to participate in the attack on Swiftwind Valley were kept in the dark, ignorant about their destination and mission, until they were near Swiftwind Valley, where they would then learn the truth.

And by that time, it would be too late for the spies of Swiftwind Valley to send any warning.

In truth, after Fang Bai became an Elder of Tribute in the Green Bamboo Stronghold, some spies of Swiftwind Valley noticed some unusual movements and reported them to Feng Lingtian. However, Feng Lingtian was convinced that the Green Bamboo Stronghold did not dare to provoke Swiftwind Valley and did not take the matter too seriously; otherwise, it would not have been easy for the Green Bamboo Stronghold to sneak an attack on Swiftwind Valley.

"I won’t rest until Fang Bai is dead, to soothe the hatred in my heart and restore the reputation of Swiftwind Valley!"

Thinking of the Elder and other disciples killed by Fang Bai, Feng Lingtian’s rage was hard to quell, and he said to the high-ranking members of Swiftwind Valley, "Let us demand the person from Green Bamboo Stronghold. If that old man Gu Li refuses to hand him over, it will give us a perfect reason to wage war on Green Bamboo Stronghold!"

"But Falcon Mountain and Green Bamboo Stronghold are allies. If we attack Green Bamboo Stronghold, Falcon Mountain won’t just stand by!"

One of the Elders asked with a furrowed brow.

Feng Lingtian said, "So what? Green Bamboo Stronghold has Falcon Mountain as an ally, but our Swiftwind Valley is not without supporters..."

As he spoke, a proud look appeared on his face, and he continued, "I have a younger sister named Feng Peilan. At the age of eight, she was discovered by a powerful figure from Shenwu Continent for her potential and was taken to Shenwu Continent to be nurtured. Ten years ago, my sister suddenly sent a message saying she is now a direct disciple of a great Sect in Shenwu Continent, the Tianji Sect..."

The high-ranking members of Swiftwind Valley heard for the first time that their Valley Master had a sister and that she was a direct disciple of a great Sect in Shenwu Continent. They were both shocked and delighted.

The direct disciple of a great Sect is a Cosmic Level expert at the peak of perfection. If they could invite the Valley Master’s sister for assistance, defeating Green Bamboo Stronghold would be within reach.

Then, Feng Lingtian added, "Just a few days ago, my sister sent word through a messenger that she is currently on a training journey with several fellow disciples in the Tiansheng Continent and that in the coming days, they will pass by Swiftwind Valley. If I ask for her help then, how could she refuse?"
