A rare opportunity

Chapter 794 Cannon Fodder

Duan Kaishan was unable to figure out Gu Changfeng's intentions for a moment, but he knew that the person who could sit in the position of deputy sect leader was no ordinary person. He immediately bowed and said:

"Master, be wise! Master, you are a man of extraordinary intelligence, and you have foreseen every possible plan. With Master at the helm, we will surely slay Li Yu and his band of invaders and eradicate the demon race! We will establish prestige for the human race and rid the people of this scourge!"

"I am a fool. Even if I racked my brains to come up with a solution, I'm afraid it wouldn't be even a fraction of what you have. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have bothered you, and I wouldn't be in this situation. How should I respond? Please tell me!"

Since he didn't know if it was just a lie or a pretense, he might as well just flatter him! If he really wanted to ask for advice, then he could talk to him. With so many elders present, if he seriously proposed his own ideas, it would inevitably seem like he was interfering in other people's affairs, which would make Gu Changfeng suspicious.

Gu Changfeng was very satisfied with Duan Kaishan's cautiousness. This was also an important reason why he made Duan Kaishan the deputy leader.

Although this Kaishan cultivator's cultivation wasn't very high, nor was his ability very strong, he was known for his obedience. It could be said that he followed his orders and never dared to overstep the line!

The reason he asked this question wasn't because he really wanted to ask Duan Kaishan for advice. It was just a gesture of goodwill, purely to comfort Duan Kaishan! After all, he had nothing to do with Hong Shouen's defeat.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military, so there's no need to underestimate yourself. The previous defeat wasn't your fault, it was everyone else's fault for not obeying orders! This sect leader knows you have a good plan, but you just have some concerns! In that case, this sect leader won't force you, but just follow my instructions!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master! I will obey your orders faithfully, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

"Alright, alright! This Sect Master knows your loyalty!"

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and continued:

"The reason why Li Yu was able to win both battles was simply because he relied on the might of the Spirit Cannon and the power of the Sun's True Fire. If we can avoid the Spirit Cannon and contain Li Yu's Sun's True Fire, then he and his entire demon clan can be destroyed with a single blow!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Kaishan couldn't help but think: Isn't this all nonsense? Isn't the reason they're repeatedly defeated because of the spiritual cannon and Li Yu's Sun Fire? If it were based on strength, even if so many of them just stood there and let them kill them, they would be exhausted to death!

Want to avoid the Spirit Cannon's attack? Unless they just surround it, as long as they enter the Spirit Cannon's firing range, they will become cannon fodder! Contain Li Yu's Sun True Fire? How to contain it? Unless Li Yu becomes a dead man, there is no way to stop him from releasing the Sun True Fire!

Although he didn't agree in his heart, he showed an expression of admiration on his face.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Xianxia Sect all showed joy on their faces! Especially those elders who had witnessed the power of the Spirit Cannon and the Sun's True Fire, were even more excited!

The Sun's True Fire was fine, after all, it was divine fire. But what they couldn't understand was the sheer power of the Spirit Cannon! It could actually kill a Saint-level cultivator! If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it, even if they had been beaten to death! After all, in their minds, the Spirit Cannons they had seen were like toys to Saint-level cultivators!

They believed the Sect Master! Since he had spoken out, he must have a plan to deal with it! Without the threat of the Sun's True Fire and the Spirit Cannon, they would be able to crush Li Yu and his gang! Therefore, everyone stared with wide eyes and stretched their necks to wait for Gu Changfeng's good plan!

"This time, this Sect Master has brought with him no fewer than 300,000 Xianxia Sect disciples who are above the Condensation Crystal Realm. Adding to the nearly 200,000 disciples we already had, there are now a full 500,000 Xianxia Sect disciples gathered in the Yunfu Mountains! And the number of disciples from those smaller families and sects is as high as one million!

If these 1.5 million people march forward bravely, then even the might of the spiritual cannon will not be able to stop us from advancing!"

"this……?"

Everyone was confused and a little nervous! They had agreed to avoid the spiritual cannon's attack, but how could it be reduced to risking their lives to block it? In this way, even if they finally achieved a close combat with the enemy, most of their own cultivators would probably die!

Although Duan Kaishan remained calm on the surface, a huge wave of shock was set off in his heart! Others might not be able to guess the intention of Gu Changfeng's words, but he knew it clearly in his heart!

It was obvious that his sect leader was planning to use those millions of disciples from the aristocratic families and sects as cannon fodder! He must have wanted those cultivators to rush to the front to defend the Xianxia Sect disciples from the spiritual cannon attacks! As long as these cultivators rushed to the city and made the spiritual cannons ineffective, the Xianxia Sect disciples could then overwhelm them at any time! In this way, Li Yu and the demon clan would be defeated without a doubt!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited! I had thought about it before, but I didn't dare to do it. After all, this approach goes against the will of heaven and I'm afraid of incurring public wrath! Now that the Sect Master is willing to take this responsibility, I'm of course happy to see it happen! I just don't know how the Sect Master can curb Li Yu's Sun True Fire?

Sure enough, Gu Changfeng's next words confirmed Duan Kaishan's thoughts.

"Don't worry, everyone! Since those sects and families want to cling to the power of our Xianxia Sect, they need to show some sincerity! They are the perfect cannon fodder!"

Since this was an internal meeting of the Xianxia Sect, no one else was eligible to attend. Therefore, Gu Changfeng spoke directly. Everyone was delighted when they heard this! As long as the Sect Master didn't let them be cannon fodder, the lives of others would have nothing to do with them! However, they were still a little worried. Someone immediately asked cautiously:

"Master! What if...what if those people are unwilling?"

"Don't want to? They dare! With a knife at their necks, they have to agree even if they don't want to!"

Another person said disdainfully.

"That's right! Elder Teng is right! During the attack, the disciples of the Xianxia Sect will support us! For those who dare to desert, we will kill them without mercy! This Sect Master will see who dares to risk their lives!"

"But...but what about Li Yu's Sun True Fire?"

The man from before said timidly.

Honestly, while the spiritual cannon was incredibly powerful, it wasn't impossible to dodge as long as they focused their attention. After all, it required aiming and refilling with elixirs! What they feared most was Li Yu's Sun True Fire!

The terrifying thing about the Sun's True Fire was that Li Yu could summon it with a wave of his hand. It was elusive and left no trace! It danced like snowflakes, leaving nowhere to hide or avoid! Once it caught fire, it could not be extinguished!

"That's right! That little thief's Sun Fire is indeed a bit tricky! But there is a way to break it! As long as we can contain him and prevent him from using it, then the Sun Fire will become a decoration!

You don't have to worry! Leave that little thief to me! I will definitely make sure he doesn't have time to use the Sun's True Fire! "

"The Sect Master is mighty! This time, the Sect Master will come in person to make that little thief Li Yu disappear into thin air! He will definitely razed the Yunfu Mountains and eradicate the demon race!"

"The Sect Master is mighty!..."

……

Everyone lost their worries and started to praise each other! Although most of them were flattering, Gu Changfeng was very happy to hear them!

"Alright! Alright! Everyone, let's go back and prepare. We will attack Li Yu and his gang in ten days!

Remember! Tell those aristocratic clans not to have any evil intentions and to obey orders honestly. This clan master will not treat them unfairly! Otherwise, be prepared to accept this clan master's wrath! "

Originally, the Xianxia Sect elders, relying on their own strength, had treated the elders and disciples of lesser-known aristocratic families as slaves. Now armed with the Imperial Sword, they felt even more emboldened! They immediately returned to their respective defense zones and relayed Gu Changfeng's orders to the elders and disciples of the aristocratic families they led.

For a moment, most of the troops besieging the Yunfu Mountains were filled with sorrow! Especially the heads, clan masters, and elders of the aristocratic families had gloomy expressions!

According to Gu Changfeng, they didn't seem to be in any danger. But their disciples had narrowly escaped death! These people were the future of their aristocratic families and sects! If they lost these disciples, what was the point of fighting so hard?

At the same time, they also didn't believe that Gu Changfeng would really personally stop Li Yu! They were worried that they would become cannon fodder for the Xianxia Sect like their own disciples!
