Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1504 - 628: Embezzling Military Funds, Rectifying Military Discipline

"The East Sea is not at peace at the moment either; we might need to reserve a mobile force for the future!"

"We just settled the chaos in the South Sea last year, ’Wanghai City’ collapsed by a third, and restoration work has been ongoing; it also requires a lot of manpower."

"We truly cannot afford a large-scale war!"

After listening to Li Yunjing, the others remained silent.

Compared to Li Yunjing, Xu Wuyi and those Golden Core Realm Cultivators, the Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators, received less information from the sect.

They can see part of the truth, but the main direction of the sect remains beyond their comprehension.

Because the Supreme Elders of the Nascent Soul Realm are the highest decision-makers.

These people are not qualified to discuss sect affairs alongside the Supreme Elders.

The big figures worry about major issues and have no intention to converse with subordinates about them.

It’s all about how orders are given and how these Elders and Stewards execute them.

Now, Xu Wuyi and the others only realized the pressure the sect faces after hearing Li Yunjing’s words.

The tea cup in Xu Wuyi’s hand "crackled," splitting with a thin line, and the emerald green tea dripped through his fingers onto the cyan jade table.

The bronze lamp in the hall suddenly flickered without wind, casting fluctuating light on everyone’s changing expressions.

"So, these years..."

An Elder’s throat moved, "In fact, the sect’s continuous extraction of elite forces from various peaks was for..."

"That’s right! The sect is under great pressure; the peace of the ’Great Ming Cultivation Realm’ is won through battles on multiple fronts."

Li Yunjing unleashed a map of the East Sea from his sleeve, suspending it before everyone.

"Therefore, ’Seven Stars Peak’ must not add more pressure to the sect!"

Li Yunjing said, "From now on, we must mobilize everyone from ’Seven Stars Peak,’ including those temporary disciples at the foot of the mountain! The matter of the Spirit Veins, we will vie for ourselves."

The Elders gasped at the statement.

They knew better than anyone else, each repair of the array required Spirit Stone consumption equivalent to half a year’s sect expense.

These years, "Seven Star Palace" created numerous array plates distributed across various locations, consuming massive resources.

Now, they finally understood the frontline situation.

"Do not worry, everyone."

Li Yunjing glanced at the worried faces, smiled, and said, "At present, the situation on all fronts is still favorable! The East Sea is tense, the South Sea is settled, and we dominate the ’Transverse Mountain Range,’ it’s our enemies who should be worried."

"Sigh..."

Xu Wuyi sighed, "Over the years, despite knowing some matters on the frontline through friends and sect’s public information, I had never perceived the issues so clearly on a macro scale."

"It seems, junior brother, your decision is right!"

"We indeed should not start a war with the Barbarian Race!"

At the end, Xu Wuyi gritted his teeth, eyes showing unwillingness.

These years, Li Yunjing was away from the "Seven Star Palace," Xu Wuyi held power, and he planned this strategy for a long time, unexpectedly being vetoed by Li Yunjing before executing it.

He understood Li Yunjing’s decision was correct, but years of effort being wasted still discomforted him.

"Senior brother, disheartened?"

Li Yunjing sneered, "We won’t launch a large-scale attack on the Barbarian Race, but that doesn’t mean we won’t act!"

Li Yunjing waved his sleeve, fingers moving rapidly in the air, soon displaying a three-dimensional map of the Barbarian Race’s border before everyone.

Three secret routes in the map gleamed with dark blue light, eventually converging at a mountain peak resembling a wolf’s head.

"Wolf God Altar?"

Xu Wuyi abruptly stood up, beard trembling slightly, "Junior brother, you actually..."

"This time, I’m prepared to teach the ’Sky Wolf Barbarian Race’ a lesson!"

Li Yunjing gently tapped his finger, and the map revealed dozens of tiny light points, "These are the points of conflict between the Barbarian Race clans. We don’t need to press with a large army, just here..."

He suddenly stabbed his finger into a light point, "Invite ’Beidie Sect’ people to act, causing the ’Sky Wolf Tribe’ to kill each other."

The temperature in the hall plummeted.

The Elders inhaled sharply.

No one expected that the Vice Peak Master who hadn’t inquired into sect affairs for years had devised such a cunning plan in his mind.

"But... but this is against the sect’s usual..."

An Elder wiped his cold sweat, hesitatingly said.

"Relax the suppression on ’Beidie Sect’?"

Li Yunjing chuckled, "In exceptional times, exceptional measures are needed."

He suddenly turned to Xu Wuyi, "’Beidie Sect’ is after all a major Profound Sect, although declined, it still aligns fundamentally with our interests and has considerable strength; asking ’Beidie Sect’ to act is the best option to relieve our pressure."

"But... about Sect Leader Venerable?"

Xu Wuyi’s pupils contracted as he hesitated.

"About Sect Leader Venerable, I have my explanations."

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "These minor affairs are not even in the sights of the sect’s higher-ups! Senior brother, personally visit ’Beidie Sect’ once; you can discuss terms of cooperation with them."

While speaking, Li Yunjing took out a Talisman Brush, writing a letter, sealed it with his ’Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal,’ and handed it to Xu Wuyi.

Xu Wuyi took the letter, fingers numb when touching the Thunder Pattern, this seal represented Li Yunjing’s writing.

The mana fluctuations on it were identical to his, impossible to fake.

"Alright!"

Xu Wuyi nodded slightly, showing a relaxed expression.

"Beidie Sect," "Louguan Dao," and "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are the three great Profound Sects in the "Great Ming Cultivation Realm," each having had their own glory in history.

Within ’Beidie Sect,’ Xu Wuyi knew a few friends.

He did not believe this matter would be refused by ’Beidie Sect’!
