Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1360 580: The Ten Nascent Soul Masters

"Thirty thousand miles of sea route, a regular flying ship requires half a month to traverse, but a Nascent Soul Realm expert can arrive within three days."

Five Elements Master unfolded the "East Sea Chart" and his finger traced across the storm-marked area labeled "No Return Island," "We currently don't know the numbers of the 'Four Seas Commerce Association' and 'Celestial Net Dao Sect'; how many Nascent Soul Realm experts should we dispatch?"

He turned his gaze to Li Yunjing, seemingly wanting to hear his opinion.

This matter is extremely important!

If too few go, it's not an ambush but like throwing buns to a dog, gone for good.

If too many go, Shenxiao Island and East Sea Alliance will be left defenseless internally, and if attacked, the losses would outweigh the gains.

The stakes are high on both sides.

If we win, we'll profit greatly, but if we lose, it's hard to recover for a long time.

"Regarding numbers, I believe it would be appropriate to invite the East Sea Alliance experts to join the fight; we must gather enough people!"

Li Yunjing contemplated for a moment, then gently tapped a coral reef cluster on the map, "This area called 'Thousand Reef Abyss' has complex terrain suitable for an ambush."

"The plan is indeed good."

Five Elements Master tapped his fingers at the edge of the East Sea Chart and suddenly smirked, "'Those old foxes in the East Sea Alliance, if they knew they could share in the black market channels of the Four Seas Commerce Association, they'd likely take the bait willingly. However...'"

He gazed intensely at Li Yunjing, "How much benefit do you intend to offer them?"

"Thirty percent! Another twenty percent will be set aside as the alliance's resources to reward those who achieve battle merits in the future!"

Li Yunjing unhesitatingly extended three fingers, "But the condition is that the forces dispatched with Nascent Soul Realm experts split the thirty percent evenly, those without participation don't count!"

He paused and added, "The more Nascent Soul Realm experts dispatched, the greater the share of benefits for the force involved!"

"Good! This plan is feasible!"

Five Elements Master clapped and laughed heartily, "You wait! I'll immediately send a communication to them and discuss it!"

With that, Five Elements Master took out his "Communication Talisman" to arrange a meeting with the Nascent Soul Realm experts on the island in the "Council Hall."

Inside Shenxiao Island's council hall, the candlelight flickered, and twelve bronze lamps lined up on both sides, casting everyone's faces in hues of pale green.

The Five Elements Master at the head lightly tapped the table, Shenxiao Dao Sect's ten Nascent Soul Realm masters were all present, and eight other alliance Nascent Soul Realm experts had arrived.

"Gentlemen, gathering everyone here tonight is for a major affair!"

Five Elements Master got straight to the point, and an "East Sea Chart" flew from his sleeve, suspending in mid-air, with No Return Island circled in red, "'Celestial Net Dao Sect' and 'Four Seas Commerce Association' are colluding to conduct unspeakable transactions here!"

"The people of 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' truly have a lot of schemes!"

Master Lei Ze sneered, "Brother Xing, you must be planning to deal with them, go ahead and issue your orders!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Master Lei Ze's words, the other eight Nascent Soul Realm masters of East Sea Alliance were somewhat displeased.

They hadn't fully understood the situation yet Master Lei Ze was already eager to march, treating them like subordinates, it seems?

"You're so impulsive!"

Seeing Master Lei Ze's blunder, Peak Master Alchemy Tripod coughed and scolded, "Everyone's gathered here, we should discuss carefully!"

"Uhm..."

Master Lei Ze was admonished by Peak Master Alchemy Tripod and immediately realized his error.

He looked apologetically at everyone, saying, "Sorry everyone! I'm straightforward by nature, please don't mind!"

"Not at all! Not at all!"

"Master speaks candidly, no offense! No offense!"

With this, the Nascent Soul Realm experts relaxed their demeanor.

Water Moon Fairy of Bibo Pavilion lightly waved a round fan, hiding a smile as she said, "Master Lei Ze indeed has a fiery temper, but is refreshing too."

She brushed her fingertips across the "East Sea Chart," reflecting the "Four Seas Commerce Association's" cargo ship route in the water ripples, "This 'No Return Island' is a resupply island in the East Sea, not occupied by any force due to scarce spiritual energy."

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, are you sure they will transact here?"

Feiyun Master expressed his doubts.

"Absolutely!"

Five Elements Master gestured for silence, "Earlier our Shenxiao Dao Sect's Celestial Secret Grandmaster acted, deducing their transaction location through the elder's aura from Four Seas Commerce Association!"

He continued, "This is an excellent opportunity!"

"Used appropriately, we can annihilate the Four Seas Commerce Association and Celestial Net Dao Sect high ranks, easing the pressure of the upcoming war!"

As Five Elements Master's words fell, the council hall was filled with discussion.

Inside the council hall, candlelight flickered gently, casting diverse expressions on everyone's faces.

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, this matter carries considerable risk."

Feiyun Master mused, "'Four Seas Commerce Association' has deep roots, 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' is full of intrigue, should we act rashly, I'm afraid..."

"Brother Feiyun's concerns are justified."

Water Moon Fairy of Bibo Pavilion softly waved her fan, her eyes sparkling, "But if we can indeed sever their transaction, not only weakening the enemy, but also seizing resources, why not do it?"

"Exactly!"

Master Lei Ze slammed the table, his voice like thunder, "Instead of waiting for them to team up and attack, why not strike first, catch them off guard!"

"If the information is accurate, it's certainly worth taking action!"

Saint Sound Fairy of the Holy Sound Sect also expressed her opinion.

"This battle benefits outweigh the drawbacks!"

Five Elements Master slowly looked around, saying, "Gentlemen, for this operation, our Shenxiao Dao Sect is willing to send five Nascent Soul Realm experts, I wonder if the alliance's fellow daoists are willing to join in the event?"

His words prompted brief silence in the hall.
