Chapter 1492: Yang Zhen's Plan
Upon careful reflection, aside from being somewhat arbitrary in how he handled Ling Feng's situation, Yang Zhen did not seem to have made any major mistakes.
Yang Zhen remained expressionless as he pointed toward the enemy stronghold.
"The barbarian camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding terrain is open, and the field of vision is wide. A surprise attack is extremely difficult. The only option is this river!"
His finger landed on the great river that flowed past the stronghold.
"However, the river is filled with powerful fierce beasts. I will lead from the front and clear the way!"
Yang Zhen looked composed and confident. He swept his gaze across the group and spoke calmly.
"Well? Does anyone have any questions?"
Seeing how proactive he was in planning and how he personally intended to take the lead, completely different from his previous domineering attitude, the disciples grew excited. It seemed that this Senior Brother Yang was actually quite reliable.
One of the early-tier Great Emperors, whose strength was comparable to Donghuang Xuanyi, spoke in a serious tone.
"Senior Brother Yang, which section of the river should we cross?"
Yang Zhen pondered briefly before answering.
"Since we are adopting a surprise attack strategy, our movements must remain concealed. This river has two sections. One flows through open plains. With our numbers, entering the river there would make us easy to detect."
He paused before continuing.
"The other section flows through forested terrain. It is near our current location. Therefore, we will pass through the forest and set out from this canyon!"
...
Before long, the group quietly made their way through the forest.
Not long after they left, a figure moved swiftly through the trees, following behind them at an unhurried pace.
If Ling Feng had been present, he would have immediately recognized the figure.
It was none other than Wen Te!
The barbarian Great Emperor, Wen Te!
A chilling killing intent flickered in Wen Te's eyes. The awakening of the devil creature had not wiped out the Hall of War disciples as planned. Instead, it had nearly annihilated the elite forces of the barbarian camp!
Only he remained!
He did not know exactly what had gone wrong, but blood debts had to be repaid in blood!
From the back of his hand, a Crystal Sacred Beetle slowly emerged. The strange insect fluttered its wing cases, transmitting all the information seen by its counterpart.
"Good. Very good. Everything is proceeding according to plan!"
Wen Te let out a cold snort. With this plan, he could at least wipe out another group of Hall of War disciples!
...
"We are about to enter the canyon. Relax. There is no need to be overly tense."
Yang Zhen finally stopped before the entrance of a canyon and turned back to warn the group.
"Understood, Senior Brother Yang!"
"Haha, with Senior Brother Yang leading the way, what is there to worry about?"
The disciples responded with laughter. There was little anxiety among them. The atmosphere was relaxed.
Soon, the group entered the canyon.
Just as described earlier, the canyon was extremely narrow. At its widest point, only two people could walk side by side. At its narrowest, only one person could pass.
Above them, clusters of eerie vampire vines writhed slowly.
Fortunately, the canyon was not very long. It stretched only a little over a hundred zhang. Walking through it would not take much time.
With a powerful expert like Yang Zhen leading the team, no one felt much concern.
Very quickly, all thirty plus disciples entered the canyon. However, just as the last person stepped inside, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.
Instinctively, he turned around.
His pupils shrank violently. His face turned pale with shock as he screamed in terror.
"Wen... Wen Te! Run! It's Wen Te! The barbarian Great Emperor Wen Te!"
