At this point, a trace of excitement suddenly entered Lotus Eye's voice as he continued:
"I must say, Xu Taiping, though this scheme of yours is madness, it is by no means impossible."
"Especially with you personally commanding this army."
Xu Taiping drew a deep breath, banished the smile from his face, and said to Lotus Eye in all seriousness:
"Before we march, I'll have to trouble you, Lotus Eye, to simulate the Nine Abysses Demonic Army forces we'll encounter along the way, so we can prepare countermeasures."
Lotus Eye's voice remained full of excitement:
"A trifling matter."
He immediately added:
"But before your army of sixty thousand charges into the Nine Abysses Demon Domain, you must have the armies of the four directions and the various frontline armies coordinate their attacks against the Nine Abysses Great Army."
"The fiercer, the better."
Xu Taiping naturally understood what Lotus Eye meant.
He nodded without betraying anything and said:
"I'll do my best to secure their support."
The fiercer the various armies' frontline assaults against the Nine Abysses Great Army, the laxer the defenses of the Zhoujue Demon Grotto in the rear would become, and the greater Xu Taiping's chances of striking straight at their lair.
At this thought, Xu Taiping drew a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Once we descend the mountain, we'll have to choose the members of this army carefully."
This thunderbolt strike, catching the enemy by surprise and attacking where they were unprepared, could be used only once at most. Xu Taiping had no intention of wasting it.
"Taiping, isn't this plan of yours a little too... too insane?"
Inside the Dragon-Trapping Tower.
After hearing Xu Taiping's scheme to attack the Zhoujue Grotto, Sect Master Zhao Qian's eyes widened, as though he could scarcely believe his ears.
