"Be careful and prepare to face the enemy."

"How dare they pursue us, they are indeed too arrogant, completely disregarding us."

"Although that Yang brat managed to escape a calamity, he is severely injured, and his combat power greatly diminished. Moreover, that Heaven-devouring Divine Beast is also injured by the Dragon Suppressing Talisman. The enemy's overall strength has reduced, and they've left the Mountain Protection Array of White Jade City, so we have the advantage."

"Let's confront them."

The crowd was furious, and the majority of the cultivators wanted to duel with the opponents.

Wu You's expression changed a few times, and he shook his head, saying, "Everyone, since they dare to pursue us, they must have prepared something. Furthermore, they came by spirit ship, so if a fight breaks out, they have the spirit ship's defensive protection. Even if injured, they can recover on the spirit ship, putting them in an undefeated position. If they don't confront us directly, but instead wear us down continuously, we'll be in danger."

Hearing Wu You say this, Zhuo Donglai and the others fell silent.

Indeed, although Yang Fei appeared injured and the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was wounded, diminishing their combat power, the number of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators wasn't much different from theirs. With the protection of the spirit ship, if the opponent intended to slowly wear them down, staying to confront them would not be wise.

"We shouldn't confront them directly. We need to be adaptable," Wu You's eyes glinted sharply, "Let's go, first avoid them and attack the headquarters of White Jade City."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes, bypass them and hit their base."

"As long as we take down their headquarters, we can occupy the mountain as our kingdom. With the support of that huge mineral resource, even if reinforcements from home can't arrive in time, we'll be able to keep them at bay."

"Let's do it."

The group quickly agreed on the plan, immediately flying low to avoid the route of the spirit ship, intending to launch a surprise attack on White Jade City.

On the spirit ship, Lu Chen, operating through the array on the ship, had already detected the specific positions of Wu You and the others. The ship, moving at an astonishing speed, pursued Wu You and the group, only to find them fleeing to a farther place, attempting to bypass the spirit ship and head towards White Jade City.

"They discovered us and are trying to bypass. What should we do?" Lu Chen asked.

At this time, the one in charge was Qin Yanyang.

Yang Fei and Wang Chunyang were in the cabin, seizing the time to recover, while the others were on the deck looking out.

Qin Yanyang pondered slightly, then said, "Pretend we haven't discovered them yet, continue heading south, and see where they're going."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, nodding, "Okay."

During the time the spirit ship docked at White Jade City, Tong Yunshu and Zhuge Cang spent most of their time studying on the spirit ship.

Lu Chen had also studied the ship, having already understood its offensive and defensive systems. Moreover, he collaborated with Tong Yunshu and Zhuge Cang to add a long-range detection array on the ship.

With the spirit ship's powerful driving array as a basis, once the detection array was activated, its ability to perceive the situation around was far more potent than a late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, with a scanning range close to the Divine Sense detection range of a Core Formation Stage strong.

The spirit ship's previous detection ability was like that, and when the ship flew, its target was huge, and the sound of breaking the air was much louder than when a cultivator used Sword Flight, making it easier for cultivators to discover it in advance.

Therefore, now Lu Chen was pretending not to discover Wu You and the others, and Wu You and the others did not suspect.

Soon, Wu You and the others hid in the distance, watching the spirit ship speed south at its fastest.

"What are they going there for?"

"Maybe to pick up people, after all, we previously wiped out a group that came to join them, and there might be other groups gathering here. They're worried we'll ambush, so they're going to meet them."

"That's likely."

Wu You said, "There are six Lingxiao Sect members on that deck, plus two other Foundation Establishment cultivators. Right now, White Jade City shouldn't have a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding it, or at most one or two."

"Go, head to White Jade City and launch a surprise attack."

"Let's go."

At that moment, the group, brimming with momentum, ferociously flew with Sword Control towards White Jade City.

On the spirit ship, Lu Chen fully activated the detection array, observing Wu You and the group's movements, and soon, they disappeared from the detection range.

He quickly reported, "Lost track of the enemy, what now?"

Ye Wuya said gravely, "They want to attack White Jade City's headquarters. With these people's cultivation and numbers, the Mountain Protection Array at White Jade City may not hold for long, we can't go too far."

Linglong also said, "Yes, we must return immediately and catch them off guard."

Qin Yanyang looked towards Lu Chen and asked, "Is there a way to conceal the spirit ship? Or to make the ship quieter during flight?"

Lu Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, "I don't have such skills. Only the Hidden Talisman refined by a Divine Talisman Master can have that effect."

Qin Yanyang looked disappointed, "Nevermind, it seems a surprise attack on them is impossible. Let's just follow them and slowly wear them down. We have more resources, sooner or later we'll exhaust them all."

Ye Wuya nodded, "Yes, that's the best plan."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

In a situation where both sides' combat power is similar, it's a matter of endurance and supply lines.

They had the inexhaustible cultivation resources of White Jade City as support, so as long as they stalled the enemy, they could whittle down the opponent slowly.

The only downside is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Under Qin Yanyang's command, Lu Chen piloted the spirit ship to return.

Without intentionally reducing speed, the spirit ship followed closely behind the enemy.

Soon, they returned to the headquarters of White Jade City.

Wu You and his group appeared and immediately launched a frenzied attack on the Mountain Protection Array.

Tong Yunshu and Zhuge Cang joined forces to operate the array, focusing on defense, and resisted four or five rounds of attacks from twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Twelve people, each attacking the array four to five times, which was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator striking the array about sixty times.

The Mountain Protection Array was visibly shaken, its defenses showing weaknesses.

Wu You and the others were overjoyed, throwing all of their trump card offensive talismans in hopes of a quick victory.

Inside the Mountain Protection Array, Tong Yunshu, Zhuge Cang, and others were in a state of panic, facing the bombardment from twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators, they felt extremely desperate.

The disparity in strength was too great. The attack damage from these Foundation Establishment cultivators was too powerful, none of them dared to take it head-on.

Once the Mountain Protection Array was breached, even if they used their numbers strategy, they could only resist for a limited time at best.

At this time, the spirit ship returned at amazing speed, and from very far away, seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out from the ship, launching an attack on Wu You and his group.

Wu You and the others were shocked, realizing they were tricked, and immediately said, "Run!"

However, the six Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lingxiao Sect were in full force, entangling six people.

Helian Zhan and Qin Yanyang each engaged another opponent.

Eight people from the enemy side were suddenly tied up.

The most terrifying thing was that Ye Wuya actually took out the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, and with the activation of mana, the Primordial Spirit of an unwary Flame Moon Sect disciple was wounded, leaving him momentarily dazed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Wuya's Flying Sword struck, severing the opponent's head in one swift move.

Nearby, several people were terrified, quickly fleeing into the distance, while exclaiming, "Be cautious, Ye Wuya has the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, Ma Kui has already been beheaded."

"Run, don't linger in the fight!"

Although only one was sacrificed, the alliance camp of Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and three major cultivation aristocratic families had their morale collapse.

They vaguely sensed that the enemy intended to slowly wear down their strength.
