"Could the passage possibly appear inside a city in the Earth Cave? Wouldn't that mean we'd be heading straight into their lair?"
A representative from a Martial University asked.
"That's possible. If it really appears in the middle of a city, all of Rui'an will be evacuated and this place will be turned into a war zone. In a crisis, we may even have to disrupt the passage. If it isn't inside a city, then we have to seize a stronghold. After all, we can't place the battlefield on the surface. Once a Rank Nine breaks through, it would take three or four Rank Nines to kill them, and the damage caused in the process would be incalculable. Rank Nines are too fast and too destructive. We can't allow that possibility to happen. So no matter what, the battle must take place in the Earth Cave, and we must establish a stronghold."
Wang Jinyang explained.
"In other words, to seize a stronghold, we'll pay any price? It doesn't matter how many people die?"
"That's right. No matter what, we have to take the stronghold. The passage will take a month to stabilize. That means that during this month, we can only enter in batches. If we want to enter without restraint, we'll have to wait until a month later. But during this month, we have to seize a stronghold." Wang Jinyang said.
"But what if we go in and encounter several Rank Nine Earth Cave martial artists? Are we just sending people in batch after batch to die?"
"Then we stall. If we can't stall them, we scatter. It's not that hard for Grandmasters to escape if they want to. The Grandmasters can infiltrate the Earth Cave, wage guerrilla warfare, and directly attack cities, forcing their high-ranking fighters to return
