"Fellow Daoist Lu, what a brilliant insight!" Though Luan Xiao'e had thought the same thing, she showed none of it on her face. "Then we shall proceed as you suggest."
She vaguely guessed that Lu Ye's side had deployed five Tiger Shark Warships because they had originally intended to make the same arrangement. Otherwise, the numbers could not possibly have matched so neatly.
"However, I have a suggestion," Luan Xiao'e said again.
"Please, go ahead!"
"With this arrangement, the cultivators piloting the Tiger Sharks will undoubtedly face greater risks. It would not be right to have your Nine Heavens Realm bear it all alone. How about having cultivators from all three realms contribute manpower? Each warship can carry one cultivator from each realm."
Lu Ye considered it, then nodded. "That works!"
Under such an arrangement, the cultivators aboard the Tiger Shark Warships would indeed shoulder greater danger, since they would be separated from the fleet. Moreover, all the cultivators from the Nine Provinces were Star Constellation Realm Early Stage. If Jade Snail and Azure Dawn Dao Realm sent their late-stage cultivators into the Tiger Sharks as well, their ability to protect themselves and their Insight into danger would be stronger.
Once the two had settled the matter, they immediately began making arrangements.
Before long, the personnel aboard the five Tiger Shark Warships had been reassigned. Each warship carried three cultivators, one from each of the three realms. The Nine Provinces needed no explanation—all were Star Constellation Realm Early Stage cultivators—while Jade Snail and Azure Dawn Dao Realm had each sent only late-stage cultivators.
Following the prior plan, the five warships spread out, keeping a certain distance from the fleet. This ensured they could communicate with one another while allowing the fleet to provide support at any moment should danger arise.
