Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8639: 616-pincer attack _1

Since the blood slaughter sect incident, chaos has enveloped the whole blood sea realm, ushering in a turbulent age. Far more events have unfolded in recent years than during the preceding hundreds of years, particularly among the major sects. Clashes between these large sects have exceeded anything from centuries ago. For tens of thousands of years, the ten great sects reigned supreme over the blood sea realm, dominating its territories. But now, only nine great sects remain. How could such a shift not stun everyone? With incidents erupting continuously, the astonishment grows even deeper.

A colossal conflict now looms between the yin ghost sect and the Yin Yang sect. All were aware that the yin ghost sect endured heavy defeats from the Yin Yang sect, losing over half their elite experts. Without the ghost shadow group's intervention, the yin ghost sect would have been completely eradicated.

The yin ghost sect has now openly declared war on the Yin Yang sect. Those with sharp insight could see it stemmed from the ghost shadow group's involvement. Yet, even after the giant demon sect and corpse demon sect feud resolved—with the Yin Yang sect withdrawing—the yin ghost sect still rallies its forces. It appears they intend to strike at the Yin Yang sect, leaving many baffled.

Yet the observers quickly realized the truth. This likely wasn't the yin ghost sect's own plan, but the ghost shadow group's scheme. In the giant demon sect versus corpse demon sect war, the ghost shadow group stole the spotlight by obliterating 2000 islands of the corpse demon sect in a single assault. Their ruthless tactics alone sent shivers through spines. Simultaneously, their formidable battle prowess left everyone in awe.

Moreover, ghost shadow group members never endured attacks without striking back. Earlier, the Yin Yang sect's public threat against the ghost shadow group provoked the yin ghost sect's declaration of war. Now, having crushed the corpse demon sect, that foe lacks the will for vengeance. The ghost shadow group can turn its full might toward the Yin Yang sect. Thus, they are almost certainly orchestrating this clash to target the Yin Yang sect.

Having pieced it together, onlookers watched the yin ghost sect's actions with heightened interest. They eagerly anticipated the yin ghost sect's next moves, as well as the Yin Yang sect's response. Truth be told, other sects tracked the Yin Yang sect's preparations closely. They knew the Yin Yang sect had summoned all its experts, clearly to guard against the ghost shadow group. The ghost shadow group's feats against the corpse demon sect had stunned the world. No one imagined they could rampage so freely amid that sect's chaos and still emerge victorious. Such power was truly terrifying.

This very display explained the Yin Yang sect's precautions perfectly. Any sect that provoked the ghost shadow group would act similarly. Failure to prepare would leave them vulnerable to the same devastating tactics unleashed on the corpse demon sect by the yin ghost sect.

Still, the Yin Yang sect never anticipated the yin ghost sect launching a direct assault. They figured the ghost shadow group, though powerful, lacked numbers. They might ambush the Yin Yang sect effectively but couldn't annihilate it entirely. The yin ghost sect posed a greater threat, being a peer large sect. Despite prior setbacks—mostly among high-level forces—their low-level disciples remained largely intact. A full yin ghost sect invasion would overwhelm nearby islands, inflicting massive casualties.

As Yin Yang sect members grew anxious, a surprising figure approached with an offer of alliance too tempting to reject. They accepted without hesitation. Immediately afterward, the Yin Yang sect began mobilizing its troops.

Zhao Hai and his companions had closely monitored the transformations within the Yin Yang sect. They were naturally cognizant of the shifts in its personnel. Hence, they refrained from overemphasizing it. To them, the Yin Yang sect was gearing up to confront the yin ghost sect, which suited their desires perfectly. Thus, they simply needed to execute their original scheme against the Yin Yang sect.

Members of the blood slaughter sect were fully prepared as well. In a matter of days, they would reach the prearranged site. After getting there, they could rest briefly prior to launching their strike on the Yin Yang sect forces. Concurrently, the yin ghost sect personnel would lend their support. At that point, the Yin Yang sect's end would be sealed.

Three days passed, and Zhao Hai with his group reached their target location. Situated to the left and right of the yin ghost sect, it allowed a pincer assault on the Yin Yang sect. Upon arrival, Zhao Hai held off on any immediate strikes. He dispatched select disciples as scouts to probe the islands encircling the Yin Yang sect. His goal was to assess the defensive formations on those islands. Zhu Yong had gathered ample intel before, unafraid of Yin Yang sect disciples. But with the sect now on high alert, Zhu Yong found it tough to gather more data, particularly from minor islands he now ignored. Consequently, Zhao Hai lacked current details on those areas. This presented an ideal chance to deploy blood slaughter sect disciples for reconnaissance, potentially uncovering fresh insights while serving as practical training.

Over the next ten days, Zhao Hai and his followers gathered intel on the islands around the yin-yang sect. From this, Zhao Hai learned that though these islands remained active, no powerhouses lingered there. Moreover, yin-yang sect disciples rarely ventured out for missions, sticking mostly to their islands. Alarm arrays were meticulously arranged, blending overt and covert ones. A single misstep could trigger them. Several blood slaughter sect disciples nearly got spotted.

Fortunately, the outcome proved thrilling yet safe. The key factor was that every blood slaughter sect disciple carried an early warning array. Designed specifically to detect energy fluctuations from arrays, it aided those probing for intelligence.

Every sect employed such early warning formations—nothing extraordinary. Critical sites often featured even more. Blood sea realm disciples scouting or acting as covert agents frequently infiltrated hidden spots, risking these formations. Thus, they developed this tool to preemptively sense concealed early warning arrays.

Following ten days of scouting, Zhao Hai secured the desired intelligence. He then messaged the yin ghost sect. Their army was advancing toward the Yin Yang sect, albeit slowly and boldly, as if inviting notice. This sparked suspicions among other sects, yet none dared interfere—not even the Yin Yang sect sent harassers. Zhao Hai observed their next moves closely.

Suddenly, the yin ghost sect’s army accelerated, drawing all eyes. Observers realized that if the yin ghost sect truly allied with the ghost shadow group against the Yin Yang sect, reinforcements from the ghost shadow group were imminent.

True to predictions, as the yin ghost sect’s army picked up pace, the Yin Yang sect's opposite flank—its ten islands—faced a sudden onslaught. Defenses crumbled swiftly, every disciple slain, bodies carted off. Resources vanished entirely, and even loyal slaves were seized.

Once this news spread, all attention instantly shifted to the opposite flank of Yin Yang sect. It was obvious that the ghost shadow group was responsible—the sole group capable of such audacious actions. As a result, everyone's gazes locked onto that side of Yin Yang sect. Meanwhile, Yin ghost sect's army sped up its advance. By this point, their scheme was clear: Yin ghost sect and ghost shadow group planned a pincer assault on Yin Yang sect using 200 men to scatter their defenses.

All onlookers were eager to witness Yin Yang sect's response. Despite boasting numerous disciples, countering the dual-force clampdown remained a formidable challenge. The real shocker was the ghost shadow group's tactical shift this time. In the past, they targeted zones dense with enemy island Lord-level powerhouses to eliminate top leaders first. That done, ordinary cultivators fell easily.

Yet now, ghost shadow group struck directly at those regular cultivators. This left everyone stunned. Many had figured ghost shadow group would use Yin ghost sect to divert Yin Yang sect's focus, creating a window to strike their elites. But reality proved otherwise. Curiosity surged—what scheme was ghost shadow group truly brewing?

Even more shocking stood Yin Yang sect's reaction. They refused to divide their experts against both foes. While assembling their army, they surged headlong toward Yin ghost sect's forces. The ghost shadow group's strikes? Utterly disregarded, almost as if inviting the blows. No one could have anticipated this twist.

Witnessing Yin Yang sect's daring maneuver, Zhao Hai felt deep surprise. He couldn't grasp their motive. Still, no distractions swayed him. His resolve to eradicate Yin Yang sect burned firm. Thus, he ramped up the onslaught, slamming all 20 Yin Yang sect islands simultaneously. Could they truly dismiss him? If they dared, regret would hit hard.

But soon, an event unfolded that revealed to Zhao Hai exactly why Yin Yang sect chose this path…
