A group of rebels under Chen Jie plan to infiltrate the Imperial Palace by setting a fire to cause panic and create an opening. Meanwhile, Zhu Chongba, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun strategize a way to confront Dharma Ba at the heavily fortified Heavenly Prison, realizing a direct assault would be disastrous.

Xu Da was momentarily stunned, as if he understood something.

At this moment, Chang Yuchun asked, "This is bad, brother, do you think they will foolishly come out to fight you? If they don’t come out, are we just going to wait here foolishly?"

"I think if you give me five hundred elite soldiers, I can charge in first and then feign defeat, luring them out. How does that sound?"

Chang Yuchun was still full of energy for charging in, but Zhu Chongba said, "Fourth Brother, why do you always think about charging in? This isn’t a battlefield brawl. We’re in the Great Capital now, and we need to use strategy."

"Use your brain more and your hands less."

Zhu Chongba instructed, and Chang Yuchun heard these words with some confusion, "So you won’t let me charge, and the Foreign Monk will obediently come over for you to kill?"

Zhu Chongba replied, "What do you mean ’come over for me to kill’? They have to come out; this is called attacking their reinforcements."

Chang Yuchun heard this and said, "Are they crazy? Why wouldn’t they stay in a perfectly good Heavenly Prison? Why would they come out?"

Zhu Chongba then smiled and glanced in the direction of the Imperial Palace, saying, "Once the fire is set over there, I don’t believe the Foreign Monk will be able to stay inside. As soon as he shows himself, we can seize the opportunity to take him down!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Yuchun looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, it sounds like a plan. Brother, you’re truly clever."

Zhu Chongba looked at Chang Yuchun and laughed. He was very fond of this Fourth Brother, who was brave but not particularly smart, making him easy to control.

In truth, Zhu Chongba was a suspicious person. While he was willing to use people, he always kept his guard up, even with his sworn brothers, such as Tang He, and even Xu Da he kept a watchful eye on.

However, Xu Da had a very accurate understanding of his own position and never overstepped, which earned Zhu Chongba’s trust.

After the group discussed their plan, Xu Da immediately took charge of deploying the troops. In terms of military strategy, within Zhu Chongba’s ranks, Xu Da was second to none. If his talent for strategy were applied to Martial Arts, he would be on par with the level of Master Zhang.

He was definitely a Heavenly Pride, starting at a level equivalent to Han Shantong’s.

What Xu Da set up was a variation of an array from Wu Mu’s Legacy, called the Dual Harmony Formation!

The inner and outer formations connected, forming a single array with two thousand men. Plus, with Xu Da’s strategic talent, it was enough to bridge the gap against the First Turn of Dharma Ba.

As Xu Da arranged the formations, Zhang Dingbian, watching from a distance, was full of amazement at the impressive command talent and the application of tactical knowledge. Commanding two thousand men was as smooth as manipulating his own body.

Zhang Dingbian pondered whether he could achieve this level himself. After thinking it over, he concluded that it was possible, though there might be a small gap compared to Xu Da’s command, but there certainly was a difference.

Meanwhile, Zhu Chongba and his group set up a Great Array outside the Heavenly Prison, waiting to trap Dharma Ba, while at the direction of the Great Buddha Temple.

Mei Tu, Zhao Ya, and others also stealthily approached the vicinity of the Great Buddha Temple, looking up at the imposing, towering temple. They all took a deep breath, ready to rob the home of the Earthly Immortal, which was indeed thrilling.

In fact, their mission was more dangerous and risky than the one at the Imperial Palace.

At this time, everyone looked at the fifty-meter-high Great Buddha statue inside the temple, involuntarily swallowing, feeling the terrifying oppressive power.

Then Mei Tu looked at the Great Buddha, then at Zhao Ya beside her, saying, "Dharma King’s Wife, are you nervous?"

Zhao Ya was also nervous, her palms sweating, and said, "Facing a Living Buddha, who wouldn’t be nervous? I just wonder how the progress is at the Imperial Palace!"
