# Chapter 2437: Counterattack
The reason the Fate Temple's experts were stationed at the Ye Clan was because one member of the Ye Clan was a core disciple of the Fate Temple. Naturally, the Ye Clan had grown close to the Fate Temple, never expecting that this would lead to such calamity. The Flame Temple and Void Temple had already made their move against the Ancient Saint Clans that had allied with them, using this as a warning to other Ancient Saint Clans not to form ties with the Fate Temple.
By the time the Ye Clan was annihilated, Lin Feng was already on the road. The Fate Temple experts in Dayu City were aware of this as well, so they had dispatched a disciple to secretly receive them. After some time, the person who received them brought Lin Feng and the others to an ordinary large courtyard. From the outside, the courtyard looked extremely common, drawing no attention at all. This made Lin Feng inwardly sigh at the difficult situation the Fate Temple was in.
A group of figures walked out. Seeing Lin Feng and the others arrive, their eyes flickered, then showed a trace of disappointment. A middle-aged man spoke: "Is this all?"
Lin Feng's expression froze. Their group only had four Saint Realm experts, and among them were three Half-step Saints. No wonder the other party was disappointed. Such power seemed utterly incapable of changing the battle situation, let alone turning it around.
"You know the temple is under tremendous pressure right now. All the experts that could be dispatched have already been sent out. This time, only the four of us came," Lin Feng replied.
"Very well. Let's go see Saint Commander Qingye." The man turned around. During this special period, they addressed the Great Accomplishment Saint Kings on the front lines as Saint Commanders. Qingye Saint King was the commander of this battle line.
The middle-aged man led Lin Feng and the others to a meeting hall deep within the courtyard. Several figures stood before them. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked exceptionally clean and refreshing. His gaze fell on Lin Feng and the others as he asked, "Mu Lin?"
"Greetings, Saint Commander Qingye." Lin Feng nodded slightly.
"Mu Zhen, take them to arrange their tasks." Qingye said to the middle-aged man who had brought Lin Feng in, then looked toward the group of Emperor Realm experts outside.
"Alright." Mu Zhen nodded and walked out again to assign tasks to those Emperor Realm experts.
"You've seen the situation with the Ye Clan. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. They could launch a full-scale assault at any moment, trying to completely wipe us out. If that happens, this Dayu City will be theirs for the taking." Qingye looked at Lin Feng and continued: "I'm gratified that you could come at this time, but you must also prepare yourselves mentally. This battle will be very dangerous."
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded slightly. This was a battlefield of life and death. "Saint Commander Qingye, how many Saint Realm experts do we have left on our side?"
"Great Accomplishment Saint Kings remain unchanged, no losses — three. Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings, seven. Half-step Saints, seventeen. And this is after adding the four of you." Qingye Saint said to Lin Feng.
"The two temples have joined forces. Great Accomplishment Saint Kings, four. Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings, eighteen. Half-step Saints, thirty-six. Has there been any change?"
"Yes. They have taken control of several Ancient Saint Clans. Those clans have already submitted, providing them with additional experts, some even directly participating in the battle." Qingye Saint continued. There was no reduction; instead, there was an increase.
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded slightly. The situation was too perilous.
"Why did the Prophet only send four people? It would have been better not to send anyone at all." A voice rang out. Beside Qingye stood a spirited woman with fair, clean skin, wearing a suit of armor that made her look valiant and radiant. However, she was quite frustrated at the moment. Having learned that the Fate Temple was sending reinforcements, she had been looking forward to it, only to find there were only four.
"Mo Yu, you know the situation at the temple. Why complain? You're an old hand here. I'm entrusting Mu Lin and the others to you. First, help them familiarize themselves with the overall situation." Qingye Saint King said to the woman. Mo Yu nodded slightly. Though frustrated, she also knew the temple was in a difficult position.
"Come with me." Mo Yu led Lin Feng and the others to the side, where a shimmering golden map displayed the entire layout of Dayu City.
"Mu Lin, we are currently here." Mo Yu pointed to a corner, saying to Lin Feng and the others. This made Lin Feng and his companions inwardly vigilant — they had been pushed into a corner.
"Now look at the strongholds of the Flame Temple and Void Temple. Here, here, and also the Hong Clan, the Leng Clan... a total of nine strongholds, all with their people stationed. Additionally, Emperor Realm experts may be scattered throughout any corner of Dayu City. First, as surveillance; second, to prepare for taking over the entire city."
"Layered advancement. From this small map, it seems they've already occupied the entire Dayu City. But the real Dayu City is vast beyond measure. Even so, they must still be quite spread out," Lin Feng said.
"They have already constructed spatial teleportation arrays at all nine strongholds, allowing them to shuttle back and forth in an instant. At the same time, they have a large number of spatial array talismans. So even if they're scattered across the nine strongholds, they can converge in an extremely short time. Even if we launch a surprise attack, it's useless. They can escape directly, then regroup together," Mo Yu said.
"With the Void Temple among the two temples, that explains it," Jun Moxi murmured. This matter was indeed troublesome.
"We can do the same. Give me some time, and I'll refine a batch of teleportation array talismans," Lin Feng said.
"You can refine teleportation array talismans?" Mo Yu looked at Lin Feng.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. With his current level of array mastery, ordinary array talismans were naturally no problem. Moreover, he was also proficient in the power of space origin, so the quality of the talismans he created would definitely not be low.
"This counts as good news. If we have array talismans, even if we're caught, as long as we activate the talisman and escape before the other party seals the space, we'll be fine. In our battles with them, once we try to seal the space, they immediately use their talismans first and then observe."
"Already at a disadvantage, no wonder the situation is like this," Lin Feng thought to himself. Then Mo Yu arranged living quarters for all of them. Lin Feng spent several days calmly refining array talismans. It wasn't until he handed the talismans to everyone that they all felt a slight sense of relief. They hadn't felt this way in a long time. However, even so, it was still impossible to reverse the battle situation.
"Mo Yu, come with me," Lin Feng said to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's expression flickered, then she walked to the golden map. Lin Feng pointed to the Hong Clan, the closest stronghold to them, and said: "They have eighteen Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings across nine strongholds. Each stronghold should have about two Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings. Let's go take out this stronghold."
"If we launch a full-scale attack, even once, the other party will become extremely vigilant and will track us. This is not a good idea," Mo Yu shook her head.
"There's no need for anything so exaggerated. The five of us going is enough," Lin Feng said, causing Mo Yu's expression to freeze: "Us, five?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Hou Qinglin and Jun Moxi. With this lineup, even in a direct confrontation, they probably couldn't take down the other side. There might even be danger.
"Yes, the five of us. Don't you trust me?" Lin Feng looked at Mo Yu.
"It's not that. It's just that this lineup is indeed impossible," Mo Yu frowned.
"What's the harm in trying? Besides, we have plenty of array talismans. You've tried them too. We can leave at any time," Lin Feng said with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm not about to gamble with my life."
Mo Yu's expression was serious. She stared into Lin Feng's eyes, then said: "Alright, Mu Lin. What abilities do you specialize in?"
"Quite varied. And you?" Lin Feng asked.
"Sealing space, creating barriers," Mo Yu replied.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, but Mo Yu continued: "But it's not very useful. If we have many people, the other party won't give you the chance and will run. If our lineup is weak, we can't destroy them in a short time. They'll send a message to their allies, and reinforcements will arrive quickly, putting us in an unfavorable position instead."
"I know what to do. I'm just asking: are you in or not?" Lin Feng stared at Mo Yu. Her gaze flickered, then she nodded heavily: "I'll give it a try with you."
"Good. Let's set off now. First, the Leng Clan," Lin Feng said, turning and walking away. Mo Yu hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so decisive. She followed and asked: "Why the Leng Clan?"
"All is fair in war," Lin Feng said calmly. He walked out of the meeting hall, then stepped forward, directly soaring into the air. After they left, three figures appeared in front of the meeting hall. The one in the middle was Saint Commander Qingye. He watched Lin Feng and the others departing and said with a smile: "This guy is someone all the temples want to get their hands on. I wonder if he can prove himself in Dayu City."
"Mo Tian sending him to Dayu City must have deeper meaning. Perhaps it's to pave the way for him," someone beside him said softly. They knew that Mu Lin was Lin Feng.
