Chapter 747: All the Good Fighters Are Women
After hearing Chu Liang explain everything that had happened, Wang Xuanling's brows immediately furrowed as he grasped the gravity of the situation.
"Grand Ancestor Fuyou?" Wang Xuanling spoke at a measured pace. "The best course of action would be to get Ziyang and Lin Bei out of there first. Your clone should also leave as soon as an opportunity presents itself. Once that's done, we can inform Grand Ancestor Wuchao and launch a coordinated attack to destroy the Ruins of Return Cult and kill Grand Ancestor Fuyou. That would be the safest approach."
"Grand Peak Master, I have another idea," Chu Liang responded, voicing his objection. "Why don't we turn their plans to our advantage?"

Although he might only hold a ten-year lease of the Red Cotton Peak, there was no way that the Mount Shu Sect would reclaim the Red Cotton Peak by the end of the lease.

He continued, "These eighth-realm existences rarely reveal themselves, and even when they do, they often show up as clones. But if it's for a full-scale battle, they might appear in person. Wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop?"
Wang Xuanling fell into deep thought. "If we were to do that..."
