Chapter 0345: 0345
Li Chuxue had a clear understanding of the situation . The more dangerous the matter was, the more effective a test it would be for her juniors . As for their safety, she was not worried at all since there were others in charge of that instead of her .
When people like Beishan Mo and Nangong Wei traveled far, they would not be in any mortal danger from the moment they stepped out of Shushan .
It was highly likely that the Seven Immortals of Shushan had set up some defenses on their bodies . Furthermore, there were definitely top-notch experts protecting them in secret as they traveled .
As such, Li Chuxue only had to be responsible for leading them in battle, practical training, and strategizing .
Therefore, she immediately sprung to action . After surveying the surroundings, she said, "Everyone, Yin Yang Mountain is too big, and there are many entrances to this ore vein as well . Now that we are here, we naturally have to protect the valuables that belong to our Shushan Immortal Sect and our fellow Shushan disciples . Now that the location of the blue jade mines may have been leaked, we need to split up in order to fortify it . We have to rein in the entire Yin Yang Mountain into the purview of our domain . "
"That's right . Even if the demons attack, we can't allow them so much as a single step," Beishan Mo decisively replied .
It was indeed true that if the demons attacked, it would be unwise to turtle in the surrounding area . The more appropriate move would be to extend the battlefront in order to detect the enemies' movements earlier . This would allow them to protect the entire Yin Yang Mountain . If they did not do so, the demons did not even need to attack them . They could just dig their own tunnels in the Yin Yang Mountain and start to mine blue jade mines of their own .
"Listen to the following plans I'm about to make . We need to spread out in order to surround the entire Yin Yang Mountain . At the same time, we still need to maintain a line of communication with one another . The moment we come across a demon, we need to be able to swiftly assist each other . We also need to be able to contact each other with core-tail talismans . "
Li Chuxue took out a map of Yin Yang Mountain . She coughed a few times and marked out several spots on the map . They were all roughly in the vicinity of the entrances to the ore vein and were able to cover the entire Yin Yang Mountain . At the same time, the space between each of these spots was not that far either .
"All of you spread out to these positions . I'll be stationed in the very center in order to offer my aid as and when you need it . I'll guard the grand blue jade ore as well . "
Her position was close to everyone else . Once an enemy approached, she would definitely be able to respond the quickest and head in any direction to provide support .
Soon after, Li Chuxue assigned everyone to their respective positions . Wu Yu noticed that there was an extra position marked out . Apparently he had been included in the plans for this mission as well .
"Wu Yu, you'll be here . " Li Chuxue pointed out a position that was on the south side of Yin Yang Mountain . This was slightly further away from the rest, and was also the spot that was the furthest from the Endless Demon Seas . It was probably the safest spot .
The fact was that Nangong Wei and Beishan Mo's positions were both at the most northernmost points . These positions had the highest chance of contact with the Endless Demon Seas . An even more important thing was that these positions were very close to each other, so they were well-suited to offer support to each other .
Nangong Wei had an unhappy expression on her face as she said, "Why did you arrange a position for him as well? He's only tagging along with me and isn't taking part in this mission . You're not going to give him any merits either, so I don't think it's justified for him to put in any effort to help us . "
Li Chuxue did not dare to butt heads with Nangong Wei, so she meekly replied, "Don't worry, I've already informed the Achievement Hall about this . If Wu Yu completes this mission well, he'll get 30,000 merits . He can't just tag along and do nothing . This isn't in accordance with the rules of Shushan . "
This was treatment that Nangong Wei could barely accept . She replied, "Assign me to a spot that's close to Big Brother . "
Li Chuxue was in a bind .
Beishan Mo was feeling uneasy as he said, "Big Sister Nangong, the positions close to the north are of great importance . It's really likely that we'll come across demons there . If you let him go there, it'll be of no good to him, and if he doesn't perform up to expectations, he'll implicate the rest of us in this mission as well . "
Truth be told, the slight difference in distance did not matter that much . If nothing else, Li Chuxue just wanted to provide more opportunities for Beishan Mo and Nangong Wei to interact with one another . Wu Yu felt that these small gimmicks were utter nonsense, so he waved his hands and said, "Wei Er, don't worry . The south side is safer for me . If there's any issue, we can just communicate with core-tail talismans . I'll be there in no time . "
He was instead dissatisfied about the danger that Nangong Wei was being put in . She was a partner of his that he wanted to protect the most after all .
"Mm . " Only then did Nangong Wei not continue to argue .
"Hurry to your positions and exchange core-tail talismans with one another . "
Under Li Chuxue's arrangements, the group exchanged core-tail talismans with one another in order to ensure that everyone was able to contact each other . However, Wu Yu noticed one small detail . As he received his tail talismans, he realized that besides Li Chuxue and Nangong Wei, the others had broken the talismans he gave them . It was obvious that the rest did not want to receive any news from Wu Yu . The fact that they were so brazen in their actions made Wu Yu totally understand that other than Nangong Wei, everyone else harbored feelings of hostility against him .
In fact, if Nangong Wei did not treat him so well, they would not behave in such a way either . They were all from the same social circle, whereas Wu Yu originated from some unknown and rural locale . This was why they looked down on him and were unwilling to associate with him in any way .
Over here, Beishan Mo had the highest authority, yet he was under Nangong Wei's control . At the same time, Nangong Wei would surely be influenced by Wu Yu to some extent . How could Li Chuxue and the rest, especially Mu Lingche, accept this in their hearts?
After breaking Wu Yu's tail talismans, the others quickly left . Wu Yu guessed that if there was any news whatsoever, they would not inform him about it either .
"Wait and see . " He felt unhappy about this as well .
"Big Brother, don't bother with them," Nangong Wei said .
