Chapter 322: Chapter 149 Jiangning’s Xu Qing Is Here (An Update for the Silver Alliance Patron Warm Sun Boss)_2

Xu Qing listened to King Lin’s detailed plan, fell into deep contemplation, and said, "Brother, forgive my bluntness, but the enemy might also have guessed that Gao Gongyuan has defected to us. They probably have anticipated this opportunity."

This kind of plan which is suitable for a surprise landing and assault, much like the tactic of burning supply depots at Wuchao, would not be unguarded against by an experienced Sea Gang.

No matter which day King Lin and his men plan to act, the enemy will surely adjust and respond accordingly to the corresponding celestial timing and water conditions.

"I’ve considered this possibility too, but some opportunities must be seized," King Lin said resolutely.

Xu Qing nodded, "Since the enemy is prepared, their leaders will certainly gather together. Engaging with them in a large-scale naval battle would be to fight with our weakness against their strength. They can afford the attrition. After all, once we exhaust our resources, we will not be able to replenish them as quickly as they can."

King Lin was full of fighting spirit, "That’s exactly what I am thinking. The first battle will be the decisive battle, a single fight to determine the fate of heaven and earth."

Xu Qing knew very well, no matter how brilliant the strategy, it ultimately comes down to a contest of absolute power.

Back in the day, even after Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu, it still took him seven years to pacify Hebei, and that was after Yuan Shao’s death and the infighting among his sons.

To dream of swallowing up the powers of the Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Sand Gang in one battle was sheer fantasy.

However, turning the tide of the war would greatly expand Xu Qing’s maritime living space, creating an opportunity to truly grow into a coastal hegemon like the Sea Sand Gang or the Giant Whale Gang and qualify for a large amount of maritime trade.

Otherwise, they would always be risking minor skirmishes.

While that may be sufficient to replenish Jiangning Prefecture, it was far from enough to embark on grand ventures.

Afterwards, Xu Qing and King Lin devised their plan.

They would land first, try to set fire and burn the warehouses, and if there was a chance, go straight for the decapitation strike. Meanwhile, Gao Gongyuan and others would wait with ships at a concealed location near Giant Whale Island.

The feasibility of the plan rested entirely upon Xu Qing and King Lin.

After discussing, they went back to prepare.

...

...

"Although it’s said that a wealthy man’s son does not sit under a leaking roof, with King Lin and me joining forces, even if we are discovered, escaping will be very easy. Plus, if the situation turns dire, I will leave immediately. You don’t have to worry too much," Xu Qing explained to Feng Wu.

He had the black energy from the Qi Fortune Little Snake, which provided instantaneous feedback on the level of danger for upcoming events.

This was akin to ’the cicada feeling the breeze before the storm’, possessing the ability to seek fortune and avoid disaster.

Such abilities were found only at extremely high realms within Martial Arts and Divine Soul.

Taoist and Buddhist experts sometimes refer to a sudden inspiration, which is similar to this ability.

However, such abilities are usually only present in exceptional Ghost Immortals.

Or in some magicians who study the secrets of heaven might deduce certain things.

Overall, Xu Qing’s ability was extremely valuable in this world.

This was also why Xu Qing could repeatedly take risks and still manage to escape with ease.

Xu Qing calmly reassured Feng Wu.

Feng Wu felt less worried and said, "I will follow with the sea ship, and if there’s a need, I will support you with the Cloud Weaving Silk."

Xu Qing nodded.

After all, Feng Wu was a Divine Soul Expert at the Manifestation Level, as long as she didn’t encounter beings like Yan Kong or Cao Cao or Refining Internal Masters who had achieved Spirit and Body Integration, she could fight, even win.

Moreover, the power of Dao Skills increased to a certain extent after one left the Great Yu Dynasty.

Of course, the increase in power wasn’t significant, but it also wouldn’t be suppressed by the Dynasty Destiny of high officials and nobles from the Great Yu court.

Xu Qing then instructed Su Lianqing on the details.

They would dispatch two sea ships.

Xu Qing’s sea ship would follow King Lin’s.

After reaching the vicinity of Giant Whale Island, they would follow Gao Gongyuan to a designated spot for concealment.

Then, King Lin and Xu Qing would each take a small boat to land on the same beach for rendezvous.

In fact, Xu Qing didn’t need a small boat.

He had a plank that could ride the wind and waves without encountering tsunamis or giant tides; this was the advantage of cultivating both Magic and Martial arts.

However, King Lin was a Refining Internal Master, capable of using his pores to breathe underwater and cover a considerable distance if submerged.

But compared to true sea creatures, there’s no match.

Moreover, the strength of Martial Arts was greatly diminished in water, and facing fierce Sea Beasts like giant sharks could even risk death by ingestion.

In contrast, Xu Qing, who cultivated both Magic and Martial arts, had more versatile and varied means, which made him more composed in overseas adventures.

Whenever a grand unified Dynasty came into existence, it was common for emerging Dao Skill experts from the times of chaos to set sail.

Therefore, there were often overseas hermits lingering or islands where the remains of senior experts’ cave dwellings were guarded by Exotic Beasts or inherited by their disciples.

In Xu Qing’s view, the Xuantian Treasure Vault at Liubo Mountain should be similar to these.

However, as for how Liubo Mountain could move with the ocean currents, Xu Qing was somewhat puzzled.

He wondered if some enormous sea creature was drifting with the currents while carrying Liubo Mountain or whether Liubo Mountain was itself a sea-based Mechanism.

Such things could only be confirmed upon seeing them.

He attuned his Qi-Blood and rested to rejuvenate his spirit.

When the appointed time arrived,

Xu Qing and King Lin landed on Giant Whale Island under the cover of night.

Although it wasn’t a full moon tonight, the stars filled the sky, which was sufficient for such powerful individuals to clearly see things nearby and the outlines of objects in the distance.

The Ziwei Star seemed eternal and motionless in the sky, forming an inexplicable connection with Xu Qing.

Even without operating his Divine Soul, Xu Qing felt as if he could attain a viewpoint from the heavens above.
