"An active assault is unwise. Perhaps we can employ a flanking tactic. Since these Secret Spirits have gathered here, their lairs must be left unguarded. We could send troops to strike their lairs first, forcing them to retreat, thereby resolving this predicament," suggested Bai Yueguang.
Zhu Hongzhi shook his head, "Our understanding of the Phoenix Forest is limited. Finding their lairs is not that easy. Searching one by one would take too much time. Judging by the situation, they should soon flood toward the Qilin Mountain Range. We won't make it in time."
"Then we can lure the enemy deep into dangerous terrain, set up defenses in advance, and draw them in to annihilate them," Zhang Yujian thought aloud. "The valley we passed earlier should be suitable."
Bai Yueguang opposed, saying, "With our forces, if trapped in that valley, not a single person would escape."
