Encirclement and suppression!

Several days later, when Chen Fan received a message from Zi Qi, his pupils couldn't help but contract!

He didn't know through what channels his friend had found this information!

But clearly, this intelligence channel was extremely comprehensive!!

On the paper, almost every stronghold in the entire city was marked.

The black dots were almost densely distributed in every corner of the county!

Chen Fan gasped, this level of infiltration was truly terrifying!

If the intelligence provided by Zi Qi was not wrong, the Soul Devouring Sect behind Chai Jun had already achieved a 10% infiltration rate in the county!

That is to say, in this entire small county of hundreds of thousands of people, at least tens of thousands of people were already controlled by the Soul Devouring Sect!

While everyone else was engaged in small skirmishes with dozens or hundreds of people, the Soul Devouring Sect had unknowingly grown to a scale of tens of thousands of people. This only showed how well they could hide!

"Indeed, the world does not lack people who know how to make a fortune in silence. However, this time, the advantage is with me!"

Chen Fan had already completed the task and was just waiting for this information to start the simulation!

"System, start simulation!"

"Initiating the 12th simulation, remaining simulation opportunities: 0."

"Drawing random entry."

"Purple Entry: Xuanwu Defense Body (When you are on all fours, your defense comprehensively increases, with the specific increase rising with your Realm.)"

"Entries for this simulation: Constant Heart, Weak Crisis Perception, Giant Strength, Comprehension Ability, Eternal Undying Saint Body, Sophistry, Martial Arts Talent Enhancement, Xuanwu Defense Body."

Originally, when Chen Fan saw 'Xuanwu Defense Body' at the beginning, his heart was ecstatic, but upon seeing the explanation that followed, his mood instantly plummeted!

Alright, alright! So it only works if I'm like a Black Tortoise, huh? Fine, I give up!

Chen Fan smiled bitterly. Being on all fours was practically lying down or sleeping. At least he wouldn't be ambushed and killed in his sleep, right?

"Simulation begins!"

"Day 1, you discover you have an additional talent entry. You try lying down."

"You find that your entire body's defense, and even your Mental Energy, seem to become incredibly resilient in an instant, with defense soaring significantly."

"As a result, even a Grandmaster, as long as they are not high-level Body Tempering, cannot break your defense if you lie on the ground, no matter how hard they strike."

"But you are not satisfied with this; passively taking a beating is not your style. You want to find a way to unleash combat power while on all fours."

"However, you quickly give up. In this world, there are simply no Cultivation Techniques similar to the Toad Style for the all-fours posture."

"You begin to shift your attention to proper matters. You carefully conceal the intelligence regarding the Soul Devouring Sect's strongholds and then begin searching for Song Que, the Grandmaster of the Golden Wing Tower! You believe Song Que received a mission during this month and came to Tanzhou County."

"One month later, you indeed detect a subtle aura arriving from outside the county. You intercept the other party outside the county first!"

"Song Que is surprised that you know his origin, even his name, and True Qi attributes."

"You deceive him, saying that you are an insider of the Golden Wing Tower and have found all of the Soul Devouring Sect's strongholds in the county!"

"You didn't expect Song Que to expose you on the spot, revealing that you are Chen Tianyao's son, a major wanted criminal of the Blood Fiend Sect, and that he was specifically ordered by his superiors to capture you!"

"You didn't expect to be involved in the gossip yourself; the other party had come directly for you. And you couldn't get any useful information from Song Que, as he was also on an internal mission for the Golden Wing Tower."

"Seeing your identity exposed, you and Song Que instantly engaged in combat!"

"However, the current you possesses powerful strength and astonishing combat prowess. Even in a direct confrontation, with the aid of Giant Strength, your power is only slightly weaker than his."

"And your movement technique is almost identical to his. The fight between the two of you can only be described as one gaining the upper hand and the other the lower, making it almost impossible to quickly determine a winner. Both of you even vaguely sense that the other is hiding a trump card."

"As a result, Song Que also realized that instead of the thankless task of capturing you, it would be better to cooperate with you to eliminate all of the Soul Devouring Sect's strongholds!"

"After all, if the intelligence you provided is true, then eliminating the Soul Devouring Sect as a whole would clearly bring him much greater merit than capturing you, a remnant of the Blood Fiend Sect."

"You heard the other party agree to your request, and you sneered, asking, 'Aren't we friends?'"

"To your surprise, the other party sneered back, saying, 'What friends? To me, there's no difference between any Secret Sect; they all eventually die.'"

"So, this is Song Que's true stance?"

"In that case, that old fellow Chai Jun was just making a big show; they had no real connection before."

"But with such a stance, can I really cooperate with them?"

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's gaze once again turned to the simulator.

"You and Song Que reached a consensus. He took the intelligence you had and quickly departed!"

"You did not choose to hide immediately. You wanted to risk your life to test whether Song Que's path was truly reliable."

"In the following days, you did not act rashly but stayed in the Martial Arts Academy to practice martial arts and continue to improve your cultivation."

"Until a month later, you sensed a large number of Martial Artists rushing into the county!"

"You went to a high place and looked around. You were shocked!!"

"Countless experts from the Golden Wing Tower, cooperating with the Great Wei army transferred from the border defenses, surrounded and attacked the entire Tanzhou County!"

"Along the way, it could be said that they killed anyone they saw. As long as they were not from the Golden Wing Tower or the army, no one could escape the steel blades of these butchers; they were all killed."

"You were shocked; they were not targeting the list you provided and sending special forces for assassination at all!"

"But you quickly understood the other party's concerns!"

"In a month's time, who knows how many new members the Soul Devouring Sect might have proliferated, and they wouldn't easily believe the stronghold intelligence you provided! This was also a very realistic problem!"

"If you were the opposing commander, you might also consider the principle of 'better safe than sorry.'"

"It was just unexpected that the imperial court would execute such a decisive plan."

"You quickly returned to the Martial Arts Academy, explained the situation to Master Hong, and then led the many apprentices of the Martial Arts Academy in a coordinated breakout!"

"When you arrived on the street, the entire county had already descended into chaos. The Martial Artists and aristocratic families of the county, along with commoners, tried to break out from various directions, but unfortunately, facing the seasoned army and the elites of the Golden Wing Tower, they could not successfully break through for a while!"

"Chai Jun of the Soul Devouring Sect even led a large number of Martial Artists in a counterattack, engaging in fierce battles in the alleys! Only the Wei Family had no one come out!"

"When you realized that the enemy's forces were formidable and it was impossible to break through, a voice in the team spoke up. 'I heard from a friend from the Wei Family that their family has a secret passage connecting to the outside world.'"
