"Yun… the Young Master of the Yun Family?"
Leader Yang was inwardly moved and nodded:
"Good, in this operation, I hope Young Master Yun will lend us a strong hand."
The Young Master Yun in white nodded, "To rid the world of Demons and protect the Taoist way is my unshirkable duty."
The youthful spirit of the young man gave the middle-aged Cultivator beside him a headache.
However, Leader Yang looked on with admiration and then commanded the Deputy Commander beside him:
"After the battle begins, you will follow Young Master Yun and protect him closely, ensuring his safety without fail."
"Yes!"
The Deputy Commander acknowledged the order.
Leader Yang displayed the mine's formation charts, pointing out several Formations that were designed as gate locks at checkpoints.
Leader Yang asked:
"Young Master Yun, please look these over, how should these Formations be broken?"
Young Master Yun shook his head: "I haven't learned how to break them yet, I can only teach you how to destroy them..."
Leader Yang was taken aback.
To break the Formations, isn't there any difference between "breaking" and "solving"?
Usually, when they, the Taoist Soldiers, speak of breaking and solving Formations, they mean the same thing...
Yet he didn't feel it was appropriate to ask in detail, to avoid seeming unprofessional, so he vaguely replied:
"Either is fine."
Young Master Yun examined the Formation Diagram, pondered for a moment, and then began to indicate the weaknesses of the Formations, telling them where the Formation eye was, how the Formation Pivot operated, where the critical Formation Patterns were, and which was the weakest Formation media...
As long as they forcefully destroyed these points with Spiritual Power or physical force, the Formation could be broken.
Leader Yang was delighted, noting everything down and then instructed a few Taoist Soldier leaders:
"Remember what Young Master Yun said; at that time, make sure there is no deviation, and all these Formations must be broken!"
"Yes, Leader!"
Leader Yang then discussed with everyone, looking for omissions and drawing from collective wisdom, refining the plan to suppress the Corpse Mine bit by bit...
Once the discussion was over, someone suddenly asked:
"Leader, this intelligence is so detailed. Where did it come from?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and turned their gaze toward Leader Yang.
Leader Yang couldn't help but look toward Situ Fang.
Situ Fang then rose to speak: "It was two children of Noble Families who told me."
"Noble Family children?"
"Which Noble Family?"
"How did they come by this information? Can we trust it?"
...
Situ Fang frowned and declared in a loud voice: "Our Situ Family can vouch for it."
Someone sneered, "What use is the guarantee of the Situ Family?"
"It's not that we don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance and must be handled with extreme caution..."
Situ Fang's brows furrowed tightly.
After pondering for a moment, Leader Yang said, "How about this, please invite these two disciples over, and we can confirm their identities..."
"This..." Situ Fang hesitated.
Leader Yang asked, "Is there any inconvenience?"
"I can only ask for them, but whether they come or not, I can't guarantee..." Situ Fang said.
"No matter," Leader Yang said, "Situ Supervisor can go and invite them."
"Alright."
Situ Fang nodded, clasped his hands in salute, and then took his leave.
Leader Yang stared at the map, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
It's indeed too comprehensive...
Just like the intelligence leaked by an "insider" within the Corpse Mine...
No, even an "insider" would not necessarily know the details this intimately.
The topographical map and the layout of the Stone Palace are still okay, but this Formation Diagram, it's an absolute secret, not something an ordinary cultivator could get their hands on.
I reckon that in the entire Corpse Mine, only Lu Chengyun would have it...
