Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1424 601: Standoff Between Two Armies

These small-scale skirmishes break out dozens of times each day, with casualties reaching hundreds daily on both sides.

Seeing that "Celestial Net Dao Sect" had no immediate intention of engaging in battle, the leaders of the "East Sea Alliance" breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost every day, two or three high-ranking Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would ask the Five Elements Master and Li Yunjing about when the Yao Tribe of the "Youlan Mountain Range" would arrive.

Li Yunjing could only keep explaining and calming their anxious emotions.

"Fellow Daoists, please be patient. The Yao Tribe's army from the 'Youlan Mountain Range' is already on its way and will arrive at the front line within half a month at most."

Li Yunjing stood in the center of the temporary council hall, looking around with a steady voice.

He understood in his heart that these Yao Tribe forces would certainly not arrive quickly.

After all, the battles here have no direct relation to the Yao Tribe.

Their willingness to come here is already commendable; they certainly won't act like "Shenxiao Dao Sect," which keeps activating super long-distance teleportation arrays to send reinforcements wave after wave.

If the Nascent Soul Realm Demon King isn't hurrying, bringing the mighty Yao Tribe army from the "Youlan Mountain Range" to the "Holy Sound Sea Region," it might not arrive even after a month.

Li Yunjing naturally would not, like others, obsess daily over whether the Yao Tribe had arrived.

"Indeed, I have already received a communication talisman from the Yao Tribe, and they are rushing here at full speed."

The Five Elements Master stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement: "This collaboration is highly valued by the Yao Tribe; they definitely won't miss the opportunity."

To pacify these Daoists, the Five Elements Master had to tell a lie.

Being far away in the "Holy Sound Sea Region," how could he possibly receive information from the Yao Tribe?

"But the front line suffers significant daily casualties; if we delay any longer, the morale might..."

A Nascent Soul Cultivator in a purple robe frowned: "We must push them a bit."

"Master Zi Yang need not worry."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and interrupted: "These minor skirmishes, though seemingly fierce, are actually a great opportunity to exhaust the enemy's sharp qi."

"Since 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' is holding back, it gives our reinforcements time."

"Once the Yao Tribe arrives, we will attack from both inside and outside, and surely we can crush them in one go!"

"Let's hope so."

An elderly woman with white hair snorted coldly: "But what if the Yao Tribe changes their mind temporarily or deliberately delays? Wouldn't we be like fish in a barrel?"

"Granny Xuan Yin, this issue concerns the survival of both races; the Yao Tribe won't be so shortsighted."

Li Yunjing's eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly: "Besides..."

He paused, waved his sleeve, and a spiritual light unfolded in the air, transforming into a map. "I have dispatched law enforcement disciples to secretly receive them and monitor the Yao Tribe's movements along the way. If there is any change, we can respond promptly."

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the enemy at the door, we must work together."

The Five Elements Master stood up and said solemnly: "Vice Alliance Leader Li's arrangements are thorough and proper; we only need to endure a few more days."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit, and they nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, deep within the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" camp, on a giant azure warship.

A middle-aged man in a black robe with golden patterns stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze like lightning, staring at the distant seven-colored light shield.

Behind him, several cultivators with powerful auras stood respectfully.

"Sect Leader, the 'East Sea Alliance' seems to be waiting for reinforcements. According to the scouts' reports, it could be the Yao Tribe from the 'Youlan Mountain Range.'"

An elderly man in a gray robe said softly.

The man in the black robe was the Sect Leader of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

"The Yao Tribe?"

He sneered: "Hmph, even a bunch of beasts dare to meddle in the Human Race's conflicts. Send the order to accelerate the deployment of the 'Heavenly Destroying Formation.' In a month, I want to turn this sea region into their burial grounds!"

"But in one month's time, the 'Heavenly Destroying Formation' is still not fully formed. If forcibly activated, the power might..."

The elderly man in the gray robe hesitated.

"No matter, as long as it disrupts their formation, that's enough."

The Sect Leader of Celestial Net Dao Sect interrupted with a wave: "I have my own contingencies."

"Yes!"

The elderly man in the gray robe dared not say more and retreated with a bow.

"Li Yunjing... Five Elements Old Rascal... This time, none of you will escape."

The Sect Leader of Celestial Net Dao Sect looked at the rolling dark clouds in the sky and muttered to himself, "Especially Li Yunjing, that wretched spawn, who wiped out the younger generation of my 'Celestial Net Dao Sect.' This time, I will obliterate you, severing the hopes of 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'!"

Years ago, Li Yunjing made two successive moves, exterminating the younger generation of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

At the time, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" did not discover the truth.

Over these years, as more experts from the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" have been mobilized, investigations have become increasingly detailed, and Celestial Secret Masters have been tasked with interpreting the truth.

Li Yunjing's heinous actions have already been uncovered by the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

Now, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" has been lacking for as long as two or three hundred years!

This is a vacuum period!

Though it seems insignificant, it actually has a massive impact.

It's crucial to know that as Nascent Soul Realm cultivators reach their lifespan limit, they start to fall, and for a colossal sect to prosper for long, it needs new blood every era.

With time advancing, one day, there might come a point in the future when resources run dry.

If cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm don't increase noticeably after thousands of years, isn't that a sign of the sect's weakening power?

Implying that the Sect Leader of Celestial Net Dao Sect harbors a deep-seated hatred towards Li Yunjing!

This time, the mobilization and attacks on other forces are partly to ensure surrounding forces lose their future generations, preventing any from surpassing "Celestial Net Dao Sect!"

And it naturally includes "Shenxiao Dao Sect!"
