"Although our three families are allied now, it is still uncertain if we can truly face them!" Mo Xingjian sighed with a face full of worry.
The Golden Thunder Sect has undergone a civil war, with many killed or imprisoned.
But ultimately, the law does not blame the masses. The tens of thousands of disciples and high-ranking members of the other faction, though chastised, have acknowledged their faults. However, the rift between them remains, making it hard to guarantee unity in crucial moments.
The Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has suffered even greater losses, with their already few Divinity Transformation Realm experts either losing their physical bodies or self-destructing.
The direct disciples, true inheritors, inner sect, and outer sect disciples were allowed to be slaughtered by the enemy for three days, resulting in extreme tragedy.
The only sect that didn’t suffer any losses is the Taiqing Sect.
What good does this alliance do? At best, it ensures that these two families will assist each other and won’t backstab each other.
But the Cangyan Daoist Palace remained out of this, preserving all their elite forces.
The same goes for the Phecda Sect, skilled in Celestial Secret Skills.
On the surface, it seems like a three-to-two situation, but in reality, it’s barely balanced.
"By the way, Master!" Yan Xiaohu quickly recalled something and hastily took out the half-moving humanoid puppet corpse, describing the scene of the soul search.
Mo Xingjian was shocked. When they arrived, the black-robed men had already escaped, leaving him wondering which faction they belonged to, only to discover they were puppets.
Moreover, their combat power was extraordinary, almost invincible at the same level.
Mo Xingjian immediately examined it, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
"This was refined from killing others using an unknown secret technique, a method too cruel but also incredible!" Mo Xingjian said.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from Hundred Battle Peak Master Ling Yuexiao outside the cabin.
"Senior Brother Mo, Sect Leader has found some intelligence from the Divine Soul of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators we captured. Please come over to discuss!" Ling Yuexiao called out loudly.
Mo Xingjian immediately grabbed the puppet, opened the door, and said, "I also need to go over there. Let’s go!"
Then the two of them left...
Upon returning to the sect, Acting Sect Leader Gao Xuan greeted them.
"When we raided Cangyan Daoist Palace, I couldn’t find you two. I was worried something had happened to you," Gao Xuan said, looking at them.
Zhou Qing felt complicated as he looked at the unchanged note [A Little Actor] above Gao Xuan’s head.
If he had taken all the warships into the ambush circle of Phecda Sect and Cangyan Daoist Palace, the Taiqing Sect would have been finished.
However, he perfectly followed the plan, bringing everyone back safely.
At this moment, Zhou Qing found him even more inscrutable.
However, since Master had entrusted all the rear matters to him, it showed his trust.
Could it be that Master already knew something?
Facing Gao Xuan’s questions, Yan Xiaohu quickly responded, "Well, we had another task, so we snuck out early,"
Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing and then said, "As long as you return safely."
Soon after, shocking news spread across the Eastern Domain of Lingyun Mansion,
the Taiqing Sect officially declared war on Cangyan Daoist Palace!
This news instantly caused an uproar.
Following that, both the Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect also declared war on them.
In response, Cangyan Daoist Palace simply replied with four words—"Bring it on!"
As for Phecda Sect, there was no news at all.
All three major sects besides the Taiqing Sect looked down upon it, while the Cangyan Daoist Palace distrusted it. What it would choose to do, no one knew.
Thus, the Eastern Domain was thrown into complete turmoil, causing countless people to be on edge.
Besides the five major sects, there are countless mortal cities and thousands of small factions living here.
Since war was chosen, they couldn’t avoid it, involving even their alliances.
Refuse, and there would be no good outcome—offending the wrong side would be disastrous.
Not refuse, and you would surely become an example for others, suffering retaliation!
With many sects announcing closure and large groups of people starting to leave with their families.
Soon, an envoy from Lingyun Mansion arrived to mediate, but the result was predictable.
After all, the Holy Martial Dynasty and the major sects were of equal standing, seldom interfering with each other.
Currently, the Task Hall of Taiqing Sect was overcrowded, with several halls opened to assign tasks.
By killing disciples of varying levels and numbers from Cangyan Daoist Palace, recording the scenes and identity tokens to accumulate points, you could exchange for cherished items.
Sometimes, cruel war is also an opportunity!
Personal trials, treasures from the opponent, points from the sect and exchange goods—all these could accelerate personal growth rapidly.
Especially the enlightenment from walking the line between life and death, which no ordinary opportunity could replace.
"Jealous much?" Yan Xiaohu flaunted the new record disk to Zhou Qing.
It was imbued with special marks by the sect, automatically recording relevant information after killing Cangyan Daoist Palace members and transmitting it back to the sect’s monitoring array.
Then, corresponding points would be awarded.
Zhou Qing advised, "I suggest you report manually, offering their storage bags to the sect."
"Why?" Yan Xiaohu asked, puzzled.
Zhou Qing stood up, stretching his neck, and said, "Because I’ll be going with you, so we’ll split the spoils fifty-fifty."
