Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1437 - 605: High-Sounding Pretexts, Exploiting Illness for the Kill

After listening to the explanation of Five Elements Master, the crowd finally came to their senses.

In the council hall of "Cyan Sea Palace", the atmosphere was heavy. The Demon Sect being wiped out was certainly a good thing, but the overwhelming strength of the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" was astonishing.

Having fought two consecutive battles, against both the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" and the "Demon Sect Alliance", the "East Sea Alliance" had deeply felt their power.

Now, as soon as a great enemy appeared, it vanished instantly.

In such circumstances, no one could feel at ease.

No one knew when the second decisive battle with the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" would happen or whether they could withstand it.

"The ’Heavenly Net Dao Sect’ comes with ill intentions!"

The Bihai Palace Master, a middle-aged master in brocade, said angrily, "They destroy the Demon Sect as a pretense; their real intention is to seize our East Sea! I estimate they will soon send people into the ’Netherworld Sea’ to loot those Demon Sect dao fields and confiscate resources."

"Palace Master, please remain calm!"

Nine Netherworld Master, leaning on a cane with a dragon’s head, said slowly, "The ’Heavenly Net Dao Sect’ has also gone through two wars and suffered heavy losses. Their intention to take over the Demon Sect’s territory and replenish themselves isn’t something that can be achieved overnight! This gives us enough time."

"Indeed!"

A burly body cultivator sneered, "We can take this opportunity to repair the front lines, redeploy restrictions and arrays, repair warships, and refine talismans and weapons."

"Hmm! This is certainly a good thing for us!"

Master Lei Ze pondered for a moment and then voiced his concerns, "But will our increase be smaller compared to the ’Heavenly Net Dao Sect’?"

"This..."

Master Lei Ze’s words rendered the high-level figures in the hall silent.

The "Demon Sect Alliance" involved five major factions and many clans and minor sects, with as many as six Tier Four spirit veins. As for other spirit veins, along with numerous magical treasures, talismans, and elixirs, who knows how many there are?

If the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" obtains these benefits, reorganizes, and attacks, can they still withstand it?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.

Five Elements Master coughed lightly, his voice not loud, yet it attracted everyone’s attention to him.

"Everyone!"

His gaze swept over the crowd, "You are not without support! Our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ also needs time, and if we can delay until the ’Transverse Mountain Range’ battles are stabilized, our sect will be able to deploy a great number of experts to assist you..."

Five Elements Master began painting a rosy picture!

Li Yunjing nodded silently while listening below, as there was no other solution at the moment but to prolong the situation.

If the ’Transverse Mountain Range’ is settled, then all would be fine, but if not, then these friends of the ’East Sea Alliance’ would have to fend for themselves.

Perhaps, facing a complete loss, would be more beneficial to the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’?

This thought suddenly emerged in Li Yunjing’s mind.

After all, once the East Sea was lost, many present would lose their foundation. Besides seeking refuge in the ’Great Ming Cultivation Realm’, what other path could they have?

Having gone to the ’Great Ming Cultivation Realm’, they would naturally rely on the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ for survival, and at least serving as a guest minister or tributor wouldn’t be too much, would it?

In that case, perhaps the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ could boast of ten Nascent Soul Realm Masters and hundreds of Golden Core Realm Cultivators?

"Forget it! Let’s talk about it later!"

Li Yunjing quickly dismissed this wicked thought.

This isn’t something an ally should contemplate!

...

While the "East Sea Alliance" was holding its high-level meeting, on the side of the "Holy Sound Sea Region", the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" completed their post-war regrouping once again.

The giant warships of the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" loomed across the sea, flags fluttering, and the characters "Profound Celestial" at the ship’s bow shone brightly.

At this moment, Xuantianji stood at the bow with hands clasped behind his back, with forty-five Nascent Soul Cultivators standing behind him, their momentum like a rainbow.

"Sect Master, why not directly invade ’Cyan Sea Palace’?"

The Law Enforcement Elder asked in a low voice.

"The main forces of the East Sea Alliance remain, and they still have quite a few Nascent Soul Realm Masters."

Xuantianji’s gaze was deep, speaking faintly, "The cost of a hard battle is too high. From now on, we’ll fight them gradually! With small-scale, localized wars as the main strategy, we’ll seize the opportunity to kill the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm high-level figures of the ’East Sea Alliance’!"

"We will obey the sect master’s decree!"

Everyone responded in unison.

At the same time, they all felt relieved inwardly.

Xuantianji’s decision was immediately agreed upon by everyone.

Why?

The previous war was indeed brutal, and they were afraid too!

If caught in the grand array organized by the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ or focused-fired by Nascent Soul Realm Masters, there weren’t many among them who could guarantee their survival!

In the previous battle, the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" and its affiliated forces also lost seven or eight Nascent Soul Realm Masters.

Most people engage in cultivation mainly for longevity. Bullying the few with the many and the weak with the strong are the kinds of wars they are happy to participate in, but there aren’t many willing to engage in equal-level wars.

Look at how many years the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ has fought other sects in the ’Transverse Mountain Range’?

Hundreds of years of war, daily conflicts, but Nascent Soul Realm level wars occur only once every three to five years, and even then it’s often just three or four people battling each other.

Nothing like the battles between the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" and the "East Sea Alliance" which were so brutal?

It’s not that sects like ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’, ’Mingxin Temple’, ’Primordial Yang Dao Sect’ are without power, right?

Not so!

These sects may not be more formidable than the ’Heavenly Net Dao Sect’, but they are of the same level of existence.

Each sect can easily mobilize dozens of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.

The reason they don’t fight so fiercely is mainly because the high-level members are unwilling to risk their lives!
