Chapter 162 The Advantage Is Mine
"What's going on with the Chu family? How do they have so many powerful killing formations? Wasn't it said that Chu Shen was proficient in alchemy?"
The figure shrouded in black mist, whose appearance and features couldn't be seen clearly, seemed somewhat frustrated.
The plan was extremely perfect, but the result was extremely disappointing.
The power he brought was undeniably strong, with nearly a hundred cannon fodder at the Qi Refining stage, at least twenty or more backbone members at the Foundation Building stage, and three experts at the Spirit Gathering stage were given to him just in case.
According to previous estimates, the strongest force in the Chu family estate came from the accompanying followers of the Fu Yuan Pavilion's Tan Tai family. This time, they all followed the young lady of the Tan Tai family to the inner palace. Among the people left behind, there were only a few impressive Foundation Building stage cultivators who were no match for this team.
And now?
After a good half day, the core area of the estate still hadn't been captured, but casualties and losses had occurred all the way, with nearly a quarter of the manpower lost.
"Sir, please calm down. We have been working very hard. It's just that that Chu person is too treacherous... No, these killing formations couldn't possibly be the heritage of a mortal small family like the Chu family that suddenly obtained an opportunity. I estimate that they are the dowry of Miss Fu Yuan Pavilion!"
Also shrouded in black mist, but clearly of a lower status, the subordinate comforted his superior.
"This is clearly a mistake caused by inaccurate intelligence. The blame should not be borne by the transport officer and us!"
Upon hearing this, the transport officer immediately found a scapegoat and added fuel to the fire: "That's right, I don't know how those dogs in the secret department do things. I will definitely give them a good lesson when I go back!"
But whether they could successfully shift the blame still depended on the final result of this operation.
The transport officer asked impatiently, "How much more time will it take to capture the Chu family's residence? After all, this is the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, and the effectiveness of our arrangements is limited. We have already wasted too much time!"
The subordinate also felt worried about this and couldn't help but grit his teeth, "The Chu family's residence is the most stubbornly defended part, especially with dense killing formations. Most of our casualties come from there."
However, having low cultivation is the absolute weakness of the Chu family. Even if the killing formation is powerful, the person controlling it has limited strength and cannot fully exert its perfect effect. As long as we spare no expense...
The envoy fell silent. He knew what his subordinates meant by "spare no expense." It meant not caring about the lives of the three experts in the Spirit Gathering stage and making them do whatever it takes to break the formation.
In this way, it is obvious that we can buy more time.
However, those are experts in the Spirit Gathering stage, not the Qi Refining stage or Foundation Building stage. They have value within the organization. Do we really want to risk their lives for the sake of the Chu family's goal?
The Chu family's killing formation is dangerous. It is truly possible for them to perish here!
But when he thought about the orders his superior gave him before this operation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "That's what we'll do. Let them break the formation directly and quickly open up the passage to the Chu family's residence. We don't have time to waste."
Also, tell those useless people in front, do not harm the women and children of the Chu family. They are the most important targets of this operation. We must capture them intact at all costs. Do you understand?
The subordinate immediately bowed, "I understand, please rest assured, envoy!"
Just then, there was a report from a subordinate that Chu Shen had returned.
"What? That kid is back? Did he bring people from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace?" The envoy immediately became nervous.
They had used all means before the battle to cut off the Chu family's communication channels with the outside world, including but not limited to communication, messengers, and strange creatures, making the Chu family's estate a complete isolated island, all to deceive the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.
Even though this place is only the peripheral area of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace and not the main territory, it is still under the jurisdiction of the sacred land. The actions of their group are like provoking a tiger at its doorstep.
It really feels like walking on thin ice, like standing on the edge of an abyss, very fearful.
If it weren't for the rare opportunity and the significant relationship, and if the boss hadn't given a life-or-death order, their actions would be no different from seeking death.
Now that the main character has returned, it truly makes the Transport Officer feel as if he has fallen into an ice cave.
"No, only him, oh, and a special mount, should be the Half-Immortal Beast White Tassel mentioned in the intelligence."
The Transport Officer breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's only him, then it's fine, no, it's great, this is a perfect opportunity!"
He suddenly became excited: "In the end, our superiors want us to secretly capture the women and children of the Chu family, not only for their own value, but also as bait to capture Chu Shen."
Now that he has come alone, if we can capture him, it would be more direct and efficient than capturing his concubines and children and then luring him.
"The meaning of the Transport Officer is..."
The Transport Officer excitedly said: "Let the three Spirit Gathering stage experts capture Chu Shen!"
His subordinate had a bad feeling: "Transport Officer, this might not be a good idea."
The Transport Officer glanced at his subordinate: "Do you have any objections?"
The subordinate advised: "Chu Shen rushed here anxiously, he probably already knows that something has happened at the Chu family estate. Based on past intelligence, this person is meticulous and rarely makes mistakes, and he is good at using his own advantages and has connections with many people from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace."
In other words, although he came alone, there must be reinforcements from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace following him.
In this situation, if we leave the Chu family mansion, which we can almost capture, and instead gather our manpower to deal with him, if we can capture him, everything will be fine, but if we can't...
Wouldn't it be all for naught?
On the contrary, if the three experts at the Spirit Gathering stage can break into the Chu family's residence in one fell swoop, even if there are some losses, with Chu Shen's wife and children in our hands, we can both attack and defend.
In attacking, we can force Chu Shen to surrender and easily capture him.
In retreating, we can immediately escape and leave before the reaction from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Not only can we protect ourselves, but we can also continue to implement the strategy of capturing through Chu Shen's concubines and children.
Therefore, I advise that the focus should be on breaking into the Chu family's residence as the best strategy!
This is the reasoning, but the official in charge of transportation thinks that the subordinate's concerns are unnecessary: "Although there have been some mistakes in the intelligence from the secret department, most of the information is reliable.
This Chu Shen is only at the Foundation Building stage, no matter how cunning he is, I will send three experts at the Spirit Gathering stage to capture him. With a three-to-one advantage, I am confident.
Well, even if we add that white-haired beast, if one expert at the Spirit Gathering stage can restrain it, there are still two experts whose cultivation level far exceeds Chu Shen's.
How can we lose?"
Based on the surface data, the official in charge of transportation is not wrong, but the subordinate always feels that there have been many unexpected events in this operation and it is not advisable to take risks again.
However, the decision-maker is not him. Looking at the confident official in charge of transportation, if he tries to dissuade him again, he will doubt his own loyalty. He can only forcibly suppress the advice that is about to come out of his mouth.
"I will obey!"
In the Chu family's estate, the three Spirit Gathering stage cultivators who were urgently recovering and treating their injuries after breaking the formation, although they felt regretful, as they were just one step away from breaking into the Chu family's residence, they still followed the orders and summoned their flying swords, flying towards capturing Chu Shen who had "walked into the trap".
Inside the Chu family's estate, the concubines who were struggling to maintain the formation suddenly felt a lightening of pressure.
Chen Ying, with exceptional vision, saw Chu Shen and Bai Ying's figures from afar and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband has come to save us!"
