"No, the condition for coordinating inside and outside is to create chaos inside, creating opportunities for those outside."
"Let's not even talk about whether we can get in, even if a few get in, what then? Aren't they just sending themselves to their deaths?"
"Even if I go in alone, it won't make any difference."
"For the cultivators of a city targeting one person, no matter how high their cultivation, it's futile."
"In the face of a grand and magnificent giant city with numerous cultivators, individual strength plays almost no role."
"Unless you are strong enough to resist an entire city by yourself, which none of us have reached that level yet."
...
Shui Wu was silent for a moment before speaking.
"With your late Nascent Soul stage cultivation, Sect Master, you can sneak into Chushan City and assassinate the high-ranking officials of the Chu family."
"Once all the Chu family's high-ranking officials are dead, Chushan City will undoubtedly fall into chaos, and then it will break without a fight."
...
Wu Tao shook his head and replied.
"Most of the Chu family's high-ranking officials are Nascent Soul stage cultivators, how could they be so easy to kill?"
"Moreover, it is currently a time of war, and the Chu family's high-ranking officials are definitely in the safest place, with countless people protecting them."
...
"As long as they delay for a little while, the large number of cultivators that will follow will target me comprehensively, and then it will be dangerous!"
Wu Tao rejected.
...
Shui Wu chuckled awkwardly after listening.
...
"Then Sect Master, what should we do?"
Jimo said with a frown.
...
"Let's wait and see. In the meantime, you are responsible for meticulously recording the surrounding terrain and geography."
"Also, send people to investigate the personalities of these Chu family high-ranking officials!"
Wu Tao pondered for a moment and then said.
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately responded.
Another half a month passed, and Wu Tao and his companions finally investigated the specific situation of Chushan City.
It was extremely difficult to conquer this city!
It was indeed too difficult to conquer this city, and currently, the Chu family's cultivators were also extremely vigilant, making it almost impossible to take it quickly.
The group brainstormed for a long time, but couldn't come up with any particularly good solutions.
Until, a casual remark from Jimo reminded Wu Tao.
The remark Jimo made was, "Damn it, if only there was a way to blow this city up."
Hearing this, Wu Tao finally understood how to conquer Chushan City.
At night.
In the silent night sky, a figure, seemingly real and illusory, suddenly moved, and in an instant, it headed towards Chushan City.
The guardian array of Chushan City, the Brahma Pure Fire Array, for some unknown reason, suddenly showed a crack.
A shadow, invisible to the naked eye, slipped through this narrow crack and plunged straight in, disappearing in an instant.
Beneath Chushan City lies a large underground cave.
At the entrance of the cave, flames soared, and countless flames flickered, as if alive.
The lava cave, created by the Chu family ancestors with great divine power, relying on the natural terrain and further modified.
As long as one has a certain status among cultivators in Chu Territory, they would naturally know of this famous lava cave.
This giant fire vein beneath Chushan City nurtures countless fire-attributed treasures, and fire explosive crystals are just one of them.
There were also treasures like Candle Red Flame Fire, Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, Fire Kun Fruit, Yang Xiang Spiritual Material, and so on.
It can be said that the Chu family's ability to remain prosperous for so many years is also greatly related to this giant fire vein.
...
Because of the protection of the great array and the strict guard outside, even for a crucial place like the lava cave, the guards arranged were only seven or eight cultivators at the Core Formation stage.
In normal times, these seven or eight Chu surname cultivators would never dare to be negligent when guarding the family's important area, diligently performing their guard duties.
They were afraid of even the slightest oversight, and would question even a flying insect that approached.
However, things were different now. Due to the invasion of Wu Tao's Ascension Gate army, the entire Chu family, from the ancestors and elders to the young disciples, was in a state of confusion, fear, and contemplation.
It was like the feeling of panic and unease when a person learns that the giant ship they are on is starting to leak and might sink at any moment.
The high-ranking officials of the Chu family, apart from resisting the external enemy, had no other thoughts.
As the superiors are so inclined, the subordinates will follow suit!
This was the mindset of the Chu family's high-ranking officials, let alone these grassroots Chu clan disciples.
Apart from defense and guarding matters, most other affairs had nearly ground to a halt. The high-ranking officials in charge had no energy to attend to these matters.
After all, if they couldn't hold out this time, the entire Chu family would cease to exist.
At this moment, the entire Chu family, when facing minor issues, simply let them be. As long as there were no major mishaps, no one would come looking for trouble.
It was already late at night, and the seven or eight Chu surname cultivators guarding the place sat cross-legged at the cave entrance, their eyes closed, clearly cultivating.
However, it was understandable. The lava cave was a place of a giant fire vein. Due to the constant eruption of flames, the fire-attributed spiritual energy here was much purer than elsewhere.
For cultivators who practiced fire-attributed techniques, the fire-attributed spiritual energy here was even more precious.
And for safety reasons, the Chu family's high-ranking officials had mostly chosen fire-attributed cultivators as guards.
However, with the Chu family's strict rules in normal times, these on-duty cultivators dared not act rashly.
But now, with the Chu family facing internal and external troubles and in a terrible state, these on-duty cultivators had relaxed their vigilance.
Just as these seven or eight Chu surname cultivators were sitting on futons cultivating, a figure flashed in the darkness.
This figure seemed to not exist, or perhaps belonged to a different dimension, passing silently between these seven or eight Chu surname cultivators and appearing before the restrictions.
During this process, the figure did not make the slightest sound, nor did it stir the spiritual energy.
Even if a cultivator used their spiritual eyes to observe, they probably wouldn't see the shadow's existence, let alone these seven or eight Chu surname cultivators immersed in cultivation.
And this figure was Wu Tao, who had infiltrated Chushan City.
Wu Tao, in a phantom state, stood at the cave entrance, glanced at the seven or eight Chu surname cultivators still immersed in cultivation, and immediately took action.
Wu Tao slowly extended his right hand, reaching towards the restrictions at the cave entrance.
The restrictions used by the Chu family to protect the giant fire vein were naturally extraordinary. It was said to be connected to this giant fire vein, and if anyone touched the restrictions, the entire giant fire vein would be alerted.
Even though it was a special period and the entire Chu family was in chaos, if there was a problem with this giant fire vein beneath Chushan City, the entire Chu family would be alerted.
This was also why these Chu surname cultivators with guarding duties dared to cultivate so boldly.
Yet, knowing this, Wu Tao still did not hesitate, confidently reaching his hand in.
The next second, the formless power of time surged, and a scene that would terrify formation masters appeared.
As Wu Tao's palm pressed against the dense restrictions, a wave of temporal power was released from his palm.
The surrounding temporal power poured into the restrictions, giving a sense of being unsolvable.
No matter what lay ahead, under the passage of time, it would turn into dust.
The dense, constantly rotating restrictions suddenly paused for a moment, showing a slight flaw.
Seeing this, Wu Tao did not hesitate and stepped forward, entering it.
After Wu Tao's figure disappeared behind these restrictions, the operation of the restrictions also began to slowly return to normal.
Everything was done seamlessly, without any flaws, or in other words, it was unbelievably smooth.
...
Deep within the lava cave, at the convergence of the giant fire vein, a figure suddenly appeared.
Black hair, black eyes, standing straight.
Who else could it be but Wu Tao?
Within the lava cave, above the tens of thousands of li vast cave, there were dense flames.
These flames converged to form a terrifying river of fire.
Although there were many fire-attributed cultivators in the Chu family, not many could cultivate freely in the lava cave, most of them being high-level cultivators.
And now with the army pressing down on Chushan City and the situation being perilous, the high-level cultivators generally had their own matters to attend to, which resulted in the lava cave being empty of cultivators.
"Truly brought upon themselves. Such an important place, yet there's not a single person here."
"Good, with no one here, it will be more convenient for me to set things up."
Wu Tao's purpose for going through such great lengths, even risking his life to infiltrate Chushan City, was for the giant fire vein in the lava cave.
The giant fire vein in the lava cave was actually a double-edged sword for the Chu family.
If used well, it could help the Chu family continue its glory, but if used improperly, it would bring disaster to the Chu family.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Tao had his eyes on the giant fire vein in the lava cave.
Wu Tao's Nightmare Eye on his forehead opened wide, emitting a deep blood-red glow, examining the่็ป (vein/path) of this giant fire vein.
