Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1186 1178: Planning the Strategy (Part 2)

The rest of the people also had their eyes burning with fervor. To be honest, if it were an uninjured Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard, not yet advanced to the Immortal Venerable Realm, even with the courage of several men, they wouldn't dare challenge it.

However, this Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard had suffered severe injuries, making it a veritable treasure trove of flesh and blood, a colossal fortune for them.

"Amitabha, as a humble monk, I would never deceive you all, nor would I gamble with my own life."

Monk Huiguang intoned a Buddhist chant and spoke.

Among the crowd, the mysterious man always hidden in a gray robe had his pair of gray-white eyes flashing with an extraordinary gleam, filled with palpable delight.

"Hmm?"

Qin Yang turned to glance at the mysterious man, his eyes showing a flicker. There was something strange about this mysterious man to him.

"What do we do now, do we charge straight ahead?"

The elder with the surname Meng had a keen gleam in his eyes as he looked at those present.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged a look, all showing a hint of contemplation. Judging by appearance alone, the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard indeed seemed severely injured.

Yet, how much fighting strength it retained was unknown to them.

If they rashly charged forward, facing a demon beast with high bloodline and commander-tier strength, they could be wiped out in one move, rendering their action foolish.

After all, the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard differs from the Fire Marsh Queen Ant – the queen ant's bloodline isn't of high grade, while the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard contains a hint of dragon bloodline.

If uninjured, it would be invincible to cultivators of the ordinary Immortal Venerable Realm.

Nevertheless, having come this far, it's natural for everyone not to just take a look and then retreat.

What needs discussing now is strategizing against this severely injured Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard.

"I suggest we take action at night."

Monk Huiguang gazed at the sun slowly descending into the western sky, pondered briefly, and said.

"At night?"

"Indeed, nighttime is when the Essence of the Moon is most abundant and also when the Moon Cold Stone gathers the most Essence of the Moon."

"The Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard, severely injured by the Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python, needs the Essence of the Moon to heal. At this time, it will be the least alert, and that's when, if we all act together, we can achieve the greatest effect."

Monk Huiguang's gaze fell upon the crowd and spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room had their eyes light up.

Demon beasts differ from human cultivators, as demon beasts can't refine elixirs. When severely injured:

Firstly, they consume spirit medicine, though the healing effects are far inferior to human cultivators' refined elixirs.

Secondly, they use the essence of heaven and earth or the natural environment to heal, with the Essence of the Moon being one example.

The Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard can absorb the Essence of the Moon to heal its internal wounds, becoming least vigilant while using the Essence of the Moon this way.

Balancing with the Heavenly Dao gives different strengths to human cultivators and demon beasts: humans excel in wisdom, while demon beasts have physical and ecological advantages, such as absorbing the Essence of the Moon for healing, which only Moon Element Cultivators can do among humans.

"What do you all think of acting at night?"

Monk Huiguang sought opinions from the crowd.

"Master Huiguang's reasoning is sound, and I agree."

The elder named Meng nodded in agreement.

"We agree too."

The Song sisters also nodded.

Teng Yingwu, Teng Kui, and the mysterious man in the gray robe did not speak, thus tacitly agreeing to the plan.

Qin Yang naturally did not object; striking at night while the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard was healing indeed seemed a good opportunity for these Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm cultivators.

Qin Yang's gaze softened as he looked at Zilan, thinking the reason he brought Zilan into the temporary group was for her to learn from such experiences.

"Amitabha, since all the patrons agree, let us take action tonight."

Master Huiguang intoned a Buddhist chant and spoke.

The eyes of the elder Meng flickered briefly, and he meditated for a moment before speaking again: "Master Huiguang, though nighttime offers an advantage as the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is healing, it's not entirely foolproof."

"What do you mean, Patron Meng?"

Monk Huiguang asked.

"The Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is a commander-tier beast with strong bloodline and innate talent. Even now, though severely injured, the exact battle strength it has left is uncertain."

"If it retains three to fifty percent of its fighting strength, we might still find it difficult to handle. Even withdrawing would result in casualties, which I imagine none of us here wish to see."

The elder Meng said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Monk Huiguang and the others were silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Qin Yang's eyes flickered; he had to admit that the elder Meng's concerns were thorough.

"Do you, Patron Meng, have a suggestion on how we should proceed?"

Song Yu, one of the twin sisters, asked, knowing that being among the nine, she and her sister were slightly weaker and would face greater danger if anything went wrong.

"I'm afraid I must ask Friend Qin for assistance."

The elder Meng smiled slightly, turned his gaze toward Qin Yang.

"Me?"

Qin Yang raised his brows.

"Friend Qin is proficient in arrays; I assume you can set a Trapping Array? If this Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard retains considerable strength, and we find ourselves outmatched, we must consider escape."

"If during our retreat Friend Qin could pre-set a Trapping Array to momentarily trap the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard, it would afford us a greater chance of escape."

The elder Meng spoke with a wise demeanor, his eyes sharp.

Upon hearing this, the twin sisters, Monk Huiguang, and the mysterious man's eyes lit up, all turning their gaze to Qin Yang.

"Ha, Patron Meng, you want me to take the rear?"

Qin Yang stared at the elder Meng, offering a cold smile.

For the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard to fall into the Trapping Array, Qin Yang would have to stay to activate it. Who in their right mind would agree?

Actually, Qin Yang joined this temporary group to give Zilan a chance to gain experience; otherwise, the Late Stage and Peak Immortal Spirit Realm cultivators were not worth his attention.

Upon hearing this, the elder Meng glanced more at Qin Yang; despite his youth, it was evident he was quite shrewd.

"Friend Qin, please don't be upset; I merely wish to ensure more safety for us. If Friend Qin would agree to set the Trapping Array, I support granting you secondary prioritization choices."

The elder Meng offered his condition, then turned his gaze to consult the others.

"We sisters also agree to grant Friend Qin secondary prioritization."

The twins looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

After all, compared to life, secondary prioritization isn't much; if one's life is gone, even owning the entire Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard would be worthless.

Monk Huiguang and the mysterious man in the gray robe also nodded; eventually, everyone turned their gaze to Teng Yingwu and Teng Kui.

"Fine, I also agree."

Teng Yingwu's face slightly darkened before nodding in agreement.

"What does Friend Qin think?"

Seeing everyone agree, the elder Meng turned his gaze to Qin Yang and asked.

"Alright then, I'll set the Trapping Array."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded; these days, without benefits, who would put in the effort? If Qin Yang offered no terms, didn't fight for benefits, and exerted himself for no reason, it would be unusual.

"Amitabha, this is good; thank you, Patron Qin. If you could prepare the Trapping Array first, we'll wait here for nightfall."

Master Huiguang intoned a Buddhist chant and looked up at the sky's sunlight, speaking.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded simultaneously.

Whoosh!

Qin Yang's silhouette flickered, appearing among the towering stones. Three thousand green Wood Array Flags flew out of his Storage Bag, landing in specific positions.

Qin Yang's fingers formed incantations, and spiritual power threads connected different Array Flags.

Once the array was complete, the three thousand verdant flags vanished into the void.

Seeing Qin Yang finish setting the Trapping Array, everyone nodded; now what remained was to wait for nightfall.
