4: Sudden changes in circumstances, strategic planning and response.

Jun Xiaoyao was discussing countermeasures with everyone in a secret chamber in Beyond Heaven when he suddenly thought that although The Net was already quite large, its management could perhaps be improved. "System, how many Summoning Points do I have left?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"The host currently has 400 Summoning Points," the System replied.

"Perform a summon. I hope to summon a talent who can help with the current situation," Jun Xiaoyao decisively ordered.

"Consuming 400 Summoning Points, beginning random summon..." The System's notification sound rang out.

In the secret chamber, a brilliant light erupted, and space twisted and churned like boiling water. The intense light almost filled the entire chamber. The light gradually receded, and a figure slowly emerged.

Summoned Character: Zhao Gao

From World: "Myth"

Realm: Early Grandmaster Realm

Martial Skill Cultivation Technique: Proficient in stratagem, skilled at manipulating situations from behind the scenes. Although he does not possess powerful combat Martial Skills, he is adept at utilizing human nature and resources, possessing extremely keen insight and planning abilities.

This person was tall and slender, dressed in a black robe, wearing a tall crown. His face was fair but exuded a feminine Aura, and his eyes flickered with shrewdness and calculation. He slowly knelt, his voice sharp but full of reverence: "Greetings, Master."

Jun Xiaoyao was delighted. Zhao Gao's arrival might bring new ideas for The Net's management and intelligence operations. "Zhao Gao, The Net is currently facing threats from multiple allied forces. Do you have any thoughts?"

Zhao Gao raised his head slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Master, in this servant's opinion, the allied forces appear formidable, but in reality, each harbors their own intentions. We can exploit this to divide and conquer them. At the same time, we should strengthen The Net's intelligence gathering, mastering their every move to better formulate countermeasures."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded, feeling that Zhao Gao's words were very true. At this moment, Marshal of the Unruly stepped forward and said: "Master, this old servant also has a request. The Net has now established itself in the Jianghu, but this old servant also wishes to establish a special team that only obeys you, named 'The Unruly.' This team will be personally selected and trained by this old servant. Its members will all be absolutely loyal to you and possess extraordinary skills, serving as a secret force for Beyond Heaven, capable of producing miraculous effects at critical moments."

Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, feeling that Marshal of the Unruly's suggestion had great potential: "Good, I will leave this matter entirely to you. But the most urgent task at hand is to deal with the allied forces' attack on The Net."

Everyone continued to discuss countermeasures. West Gate Blows Snow said: "Young Lord, we can utilize The Net's intelligence advantage to set up an ambush in advance and catch them off guard. At the same time, we can also send experts to infiltrate the enemy camp and disrupt their deployment."

Thirteen Swallows nodded in agreement: "Furthermore, we can have Ye Gucheng and I attract the main enemy force on the front lines, and then have other experts flank them from the sides, disrupting their formation."

Ye Gucheng's expression was stern, and he nodded slightly: "My Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens will surely display its power on the battlefield."

With the discussion concluded, everyone quickly took action. Marshal of the Unruly arranged for The Net's intelligence personnel to closely monitor every move of the allied forces. At the same time, he set up numerous traps in the valley near The Net's headquarters and deployed a group of elite assassins in ambush.

West Gate Blows Snow, Ye Gucheng, and Thirteen Swallows, leading several Grandmaster-level assassins, infiltrated the allied forces' camp under the cover of night. In the allied forces' camp, Immortal Master Xuanfeng of Lingfeng Holy Land was discussing the plan to attack The Net with the leaders of several other minor forces.

"This time, we will launch a joint attack and must annihilate The Net in one fell swoop, letting the power behind it know the consequences of provoking us!" Immortal Master Xuanfeng said fiercely, flicking the whisk in his hand with force.

"Sect Head is absolutely right, but The Net is mysterious and unpredictable, so we must not be careless," a leader of a small force reminded, a hint of worry on his face.

Just then, shouts of battle suddenly erupted outside the camp. West Gate Blows Snow and Ye Gucheng's group rushed into the camp like ghosts. Ye Gucheng unleashed Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, and the Sword Qi flared brightly, like a meteor falling from the heavens, instantly slaying several guards. West Gate Blows Snow was not to be outdone; his Sword Qi surged everywhere, and wherever it reached, enemies fell, their blood splattering the ground.

The allied forces immediately fell into chaos. Seeing this, Immortal Master Xuanfeng roared furiously: "Who dares to trespass into my camp!" With that, he held his long sword and flew to meet West Gate Blows Snow. Immortal Master Xuanfeng, as the Sect Head of Lingfeng Holy Land, had reached the Grandmaster Initial Stage of strength. His swordplay was sharp, and he engaged West Gate Blows Snow in battle.

Thirteen Swallows, meanwhile, led the other Grandmaster-level assassins, charging and killing throughout the camp, specifically targeting enemy commanders and experts. For a time, flames soared into the sky within the camp, and shouts and screams intertwined.

However, the allied forces, being numerous, quickly organized a counterattack. They surrounded West Gate Blows Snow and his group, attempting to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

At the same time, in the valley near The Net's headquarters, Marshal of the Unruly was leading The Net's elite assassins, awaiting the arrival of the allied forces. Zhao Gao assisted Marshal of the Unruly, using his cunning to make final adjustments to the traps and ambushes.

"Marshal, everything is ready. We just need the fish to take the bait," Zhao Gao said, narrowing his eyes, a sinister smile on his face.

"Hmph, if they dare to provoke our Net, they will certainly not return," Marshal of the Unruly said, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

After the allied forces' camp was attacked, Immortal Master Xuanfeng, eager to salvage the situation, decided to accelerate the pace of attacking The Net. He led the allied forces' army towards The Net's headquarters.

When the allied forces entered the valley, Marshal of the Unruly gave an order, and countless Luowang Assassinss immediately surged out from both sides of the valley. At the same time, the pre-set traps were activated, boulders rolled down, and sharp spikes protruded from the ground, plunging the allied forces into chaos.

"No, we've fallen into an ambush!" shouted one of the allied forces' leaders.

Immortal Master Xuanfeng was secretly resentful, but there was no turning back now. He could only bite the bullet and command everyone to break through. However, the Luowang Assassinss were well-trained and coordinated, tightly trapping the allied forces in the valley.

On the chaotic battlefield, Zhao Gao, with his keen insight, discovered conflicts between several key figures in the allied forces. He subtly spread rumors among the crowd, further escalating their contradictions.

"Look, Lingfeng Holy Land is intentionally letting us charge ahead to die for their own benefit!"

"That's right, they must have some ulterior motive!"

These rumors quickly spread among the allied forces, completely shattering the trust between the various factions, who already harbored ulterior motives. Some smaller forces began to hesitate whether to continue cooperating with Lingfeng Holy Land, and some even wanted to seize the opportunity to abandon the battlefield.

Immortal Master Xuanfeng noticed the anomaly within his ranks, but at this moment, he had to deal with The Net's attack and quell internal chaos, leaving him overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, in the camp, West Gate Blows Snow, Ye Gucheng, and Thirteen Swallows launched an even fiercer attack while the allied forces' morale was in disarray. Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens sword moves became even more formidable, each strike carrying a world-destroying Aura, forcing the enemy to retreat steadily. West Gate Blows Snow and Thirteen Swallows also cooperated seamlessly, their Sword Qi and sword shadows intertwining, slaughtering the surrounding enemies completely.

Ultimately, the allied forces, caught between internal and external difficulties, completely collapsed. Immortal Master Xuanfeng, seeing that the tide had turned, could only flee in disarray with his remaining defeated soldiers.

In this battle, The Net achieved a great victory, not only successfully repelling the allied forces' attack but also further spreading The Net's renown. At the same time, Zhao Gao's performance in this battle also impressed Jun Xiaoyao; his stratagems played an important role in The Net's victory.

After this battle, Jun Xiaoyao deeply understood that although Beyond Heaven had temporarily overcome the crisis, the road ahead was still full of challenges. On this continent, various forces were intricate and complex. For Beyond Heaven to truly rise, it needed to continuously improve its strength and meticulously plan.

"System, what other methods are there to enhance Beyond Heaven's overall strength?" Jun Xiaoyao asked the System in the Beyond Heaven secret chamber.

"The host can find Heaven And Earth Treasure to enhance the strength of summoned characters and core members. At the same time, the host can search the Jianghu for some lost Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals to enrich Beyond Heaven's martial arts System. Additionally, establishing good relationships with other neutral forces will also contribute to Beyond Heaven's development," the System advised.

Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, feeling that the System's words were very true. He decided to have Marshal of the Unruly continue to be responsible for the establishment and training of "The Unruly." At the same time, he arranged for Zhao Gao to use The Net's intelligence network to search for clues about Heaven And Earth Treasure and lost Cultivation Techniques. West Gate Blows Snow, Ye Gucheng, and Thirteen Swallows would be responsible for contacting some neutral forces and attempting to establish friendly relations.

As for Jun Xiaoyao himself, he continued to Cultivate in seclusion in Beyond Heaven to improve his own strength. He deeply understood that as the leader of Beyond Heaven, the stronger his own strength, the better he could lead Beyond Heaven to glory.

In other parts of the continent, after hearing the news of The Net repelling the allied forces, various powers became even more wary of the mysterious force behind The Net. Some forces began to investigate secretly, attempting to uncover the true identity of this mysterious force. All of this was still unknown to Jun Xiaoyao and his Beyond Heaven members; they were fully engaged in plans to enhance their strength and develop their power, while a greater storm might be quietly brewing...
