With a whoosh, Mo Qingqiu's figure flickered and disappeared from her spot.
She reappeared beside a figure, and with a boom, a punch landed. Her fist was fair and not large, but as it struck, it was like a thunderclap, much more powerful than many lightning bolts in Gulei Mountain.
Whoosh~~~
The figure spread his five fingers and then grabbed forcefully. The thunderous punch instantly vanished into nothingness.
"En?" Mo Qingqiu raised an eyebrow.
She was completely surprised that the person could break her punch so easily.
While she hadn't mobilized the power of the formation, she had been at the peak of the Integration Realm for a long time. Normally, heavily wounding the intruder would be a simple matter. However, she hadn't expected not only to fail to heavily wound the intruder, but for her attack to be so easily neutralized.
"Greetings, esteemed Nine-Tailed Fox. My name is Yang Feilong, and I'm here to help you. I bear no ill will!" Yang Feilong said repeatedly.
That's right, the one who had infiltrated the Nine-Tailed Fox clan's protective formation so silently was Yang Feilong, who had rushed here all the way.
"You infiltrated my Nine-Tailed Fox territory without a sound, and you say you bear no ill will?" Mo Qingqiu's voice was as cold as an ice mountain.
"If I had malicious intent, I wouldn't have deliberately shown a weakness!" Yang Feilong shrugged and said, "I let you discover me on purpose!"
"En?" Mo Qingqiu's expression slightly froze upon hearing this, and her brows furrowed.
Initially, she had assumed the intruder had snuck in quietly and revealed some weakness by accident. After all, this protective formation had been reinforced by generations of her Nine-Tailed Fox ancestors. Besides destroying it with immense power, it was difficult to infiltrate silently. She hadn't expected the intruder to be able to do so!
"My formation skills are very high. At the very least, I can set up formations that are no less powerful than your clan's protective formation!" Yang Feilong shrugged, with a hint of pride on his face. "Forcefully breaking this formation is difficult, but finding some loopholes in the formation and sneaking in is not a big problem! Tell me, if I had malicious intent, why would I sneak in alone? I could have brought some people with me, couldn't I?"
"En." Mo Qingqiu nodded slightly, temporarily believing Yang Feilong's words. Then, she looked at Yang Feilong and said sternly, "I don't know what help you are referring to when you say you want to help me. And which country are you from?"
"Naturally, it's to help the Nine-Tailed Fox clan resolve the current crisis!" Yang Feilong shrugged. "As for which country I'm from, I don't fear telling you. Like you, I'm from the Vera Empire!"
"From the Vera Empire?" Mo Qingqiu was surprised. She hadn't expected this at all. She had thought he was a cultivator from one of the outside countries.
She hadn't expected him to be from the Vera Empire like herself.
But could someone from the Vera Empire resolve the current situation?
To be honest, if the Vera Empire weren't so vulnerable, she would have wanted to join the battle herself. After all, her clan's territory was in the Vera Empire. This was also why, with the allied armies from the three outer nations at her doorstep, she hadn't chosen to pledge allegiance to anyone!
"You can resolve it? Haven't you seen the situation outside? They gave me three days, and there are still two days left! I haven't even figured out how to solve this problem myself, and you tell me you have a way?" A cold smile appeared on Mo Qingqiu's lips. "I wonder what your method is? It wouldn't be for me to fight them to the death, would it?"
Looking at the proud Mo Qingqiu, Yang Feilong's mind wavered slightly. Why was the depiction of nine-tailed foxes in Chinese history so different from what he was seeing?
Historically, they were described as lecherous and unrestrained.
But whether it was Mo Qingqiu's rejection of the Vera Empire or her current cold demeanor, neither matched the descriptions.
Yang Feilong suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said calmly, "Of course, it's not for you to fight them to the death!"
"Now, there are two methods," Yang Feilong said slowly.
"There are two methods? Tell me about them." Mo Qingqiu looked at Yang Feilong suspiciously. I don't have a single good idea, and you've come up with two? I don't have any proof, but I have a feeling you're trying to fool me.
"The first method is to sow discord among these people!" Yang Feilong said. "Once they are divided, they won't dare to gather together, and then we can pick one and destroy them with lightning speed!"
"No, your first method is unreliable," Mo Qingqiu shook her head, looking disappointed. "It's easy to divide them, but to destroy them one by one, I simply can't do it!"
Because any single faction possessed the strength to kill her. As for bringing her clansmen along, it was impossible. If those people saw so many of her clansmen emerge, they would likely become vigilant. Once they were vigilant, it would be worse than her going alone, because the outcome would be tragic, and her clansmen would probably be annihilated.
Therefore, if she were to act, she could only act alone.
She alone could not possibly destroy seven or eight Integration Realm cultivators who were fighting together with lightning speed, not to mention an army of a million!
"What's unreliable about it? Actually, to destroy them one by one, the main thing is to eliminate the Integration Realm experts on one side! Once the Integration Realm experts are eliminated, the army will lose its backbone and become a pile of loose sand, not daring to stay," Yang Feilong said gravely.
"But as I said, I can't kill seven or eight Integration Realm cultivators working together! After all, those Integration Realm cultivators are not at the early stage of the Integration Realm. One of them is extremely powerful and can entangle me for a while!" Mo Qingqiu frowned.
"Did you forget about me?" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"En?" Mo Qingqiu's eyebrows shot up. "You?"
"If we join forces, destroying seven or eight Integration Realm cultivators in an instant will be no problem!" Yang Feilong said.
"Even if you and I can do it, won't the remaining two countries clearly understand that I don't want to pledge allegiance? Their combined strength would be equivalent to thirty or forty Integration Realm cultivators, including top-tier Integration Realm experts working together," Mo Qingqiu asked again.
"At that time, we just need to say that we are joining one of the countries, and the experts of the other countries will not dare to act rashly, or even stay away from the other country! After all, they have ulterior motives towards each other and cannot trust each other," Yang Feilong continued to lay out his plan.
"This method is good!" Mo Qingqiu listened to Yang Feilong's analysis and pondered it carefully. It seemed feasible. Yang Feilong's plan was meticulous and complete. Even relying only on the two of them was enough to reverse the situation.
However, she noticed that there was a prerequisite for this plan: Yang Feilong's strength had to be at least at her level.
"You had no reputation before. Why should I believe you can do it?" Mo Qingqiu looked at Yang Feilong.
Ultimately, she doubted Yang Feilong's strength.
In response, Yang Feilong wanted to prove himself. There were two ways. One was to fight Mo Qingqiu. But to win, he would have to reveal some of his abilities, which would cause too much commotion and might alert the outside world.
The other way was to rely on his past battle records. Yang Feilong sighed and said, "The third marshal of the Star Sea Empire, Tuoba Lingyun, met a tragic end at my hands! I killed him with a single sword strike!"
"En?" Upon hearing this, Mo Qingqiu gasped.
