Chapter 2140: Chapter 2140: Proceed as planned!
At that moment,
voices began to emanate from outside the grand hall.
“Brother Tuoba, what exactly happened tonight?
Everything was going smoothly; how did it suddenly turn into such a major upheaval?!”
“Our Evil King Sect hadn't even reached the Qilin family's territory, and over five thousand of our men were wiped out!”
“Is it possible that those guys knew we were going to attack them, so they called upon the support of the Heavenly Immortal Ancestors?!”
“Tonight was utterly frustrating; I can't swallow this grievance!”
Just then, Ye Canghai, the Sect Master of the Evil King Sect, and Tu Wanxian, the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult, rushed into the grand hall with several elders from their respective sects.
Their faces were extremely troubled, filled with gloom and fury.
Tuoba Ye greeted them and with a raise of his hand said, “Gentlemen, please, calm your anger and take a seat before we talk!”
After Ye Canghai, Tu Wanxian, and others sat down,
several disciples from Myriad Demon Valley hurriedly brought over tea.
Ye Canghai took a big gulp of tea, and said angrily, “Brother Tuoba, didn't you say this plan was foolproof?
How did it suddenly go awry?”
Tuoba Ye's brows knit together as he spoke in a deep voice, “If those four old fools from the Qilin family hadn't shown up, our plan would indeed have been foolproof!
But now, their unexpected arrival really caught me off guard!
You all should be very aware of a Heavenly Immortal's strength; our men sent there were like ants to them, easily crushed in an instant!
However, there is a silver lining – we only sent a small faction of our forces, so our foundational strength remains unaffected!”
Ye Canghai lamented bitterly, “Even if our foundations were not shaken, a significant number of our sect's members have died, including some elders!”
Tu Wanxian was perplexed, “For so many years, those four old men never showed themselves.
Why would they all appear tonight?”
Ye Canghai clenched his teeth and said, “Could it be that those guys really knew about our plan?
So they prepared in advance to wait for us to fall into their trap?”
“It's a possibility we can't rule out!”
Tuoba Ye responded, then continued, “Of course, we should not jump to conclusions without a thorough investigation.”
Ye Canghai said vehemently, “Tonight, the Evil King Sect lost so many men without a clear reason; I cannot stand this!
I propose we gather everyone, launch an all-out attack, and formally declare war!
They have Heavenly Immortals; do we not have our own?
I'll request our Ancestor to come out of seclusion and help us!”
Tu Wanxian spoke with a chilling resolve, “Half a year ago, our Ancestor already crossed hands with the Qilin family from afar through the void!
Our Ancestor has long been itching for a real encounter with the Qilin family!
As soon as we initiate the all-out attack, our Ancestor will most certainly come forth to assist!”
“Indeed, no need to hide any longer, let's just declare war!”
“If all the Heavenly Immortals from our sects take action, those folks will certainly be no match for us!”
“The four old men from the Qilin family are indeed strong, but our Heavenly Immortal Ancestors are not weak!”
“Our enmity with those families runs deep.
War is inevitable; let's just start it!”
“We must show them who the true master of Kunlun Ruins is!”
The elders and Law Enforcers present were filled with righteous indignation, voicing their agreement.
“Not so fast!”
Tuoba Ye raised his hand, interrupting everyone.
“Why not?”
Ye Canghai frowned.
Tu Wanxian and the others also turned their attention to Tuoba Ye.
Tuoba Ye said somberly, “Although we currently only know of Yi Qiongsheng, Qilin family, Mo Yunfan, and Qin JuechenaEUR”the four old foolsaEUR”making their move,
who can guarantee that the old fools from the Azure Dragon Family, White Tiger Family, and Vermillion Bird Family aren't watching this matter closely or might not also suddenly appear?
Moreover, our Ancestor from Myriad Demon Valley is still outside striving for Enlightenment and aiming for the Heavenly Immortal Perfected Stage and hasn't returned.
Not just our Ancestor, but also those from the Nine Nether Sect, Soul Devourer Sect, Blood Flame Sect, Luosha Gate, and others have not returned to their sects.
Even though many Heavenly Immortal Ancestors from our fifteen great sects have returned, there is still a part who have not.
Let's contemplate this: if we were to go to war in full force based on our current strength, do we truly have the assurance of exterminating those adversaries?”
For a time,
everyone in the grand hall fell silent.
Tuoba Ye continued, “Originally, because not all of our great sects' Heavenly Immortal Ancestors had returned, I did not want to implement the plan so soon.
But because everyone said it was a golden opportunity, and it was the perfect chance, so I agreed to advance the plan.
Alas, it seems we've encountered problems after all.”
The crowd pounded the tables angrily, venting their rage and dissatisfaction.
After a moment of silence,
Ye Canghai took a deep breath and asked, “Brother Tuoba, what do you suggest we do now?”
The others also looked towards Tuoba Ye.
After pondering for a moment, Tuoba Ye said, “I suggest we stick to the original plan and refrain from any rash actions for now!
What we need to do now is continue to recruit various families and sects to strengthen our forces!
As for those unwilling to submit, we either destroy them or incite disputes among them, letting them slaughter each other!
Most importantly, we must wait until all the Heavenly Immortal Ancestors of our great sects have returned!
Only then can we be more confident in eliminating those adversaries in one fell swoop!”
“Well then, it leaves us no other choice!”
“We'll have to suppress our indignation for now and settle the score together later!”
“Let them be arrogant for a bit; we'll extinguish them later!”
Ye Canghai, Tu Wanxian, and the others roared in agreement.
Tuoba Ye spoke again, “Furthermore, we need to immediately investigate why those people are congregating twenty thousand at Penglai Immortal Island and what their intent is.
I'm certain that whatever they are planning is no small matter; otherwise, why would they need so many people?”
Ye Canghai squinted his eyes and said, “Looking at their posture, why do I feel like they're going to attack Penglai Immortal Island?”
Tu Wanxian analyzed, “While Penglai Immortal Island and our Kunlun Ruins have never been on good terms, it's not to the extent of fighting to the death.
After all, should both immortal realms engage in a full-scale war, it would benefit neither side.”
“Brother Tu is right,” Tuoba Ye nodded and said, “And besides, twenty thousand people thinking they can conquer the entire Penglai Immortal Island?
That's simply impossible.
Even though Penglai Immortal Island has always been under our Kunlun Ruins' thumb and their overall strength is less than ours, they still have many powerful families and sects, and they possess a fair number of Heavenly Immortals too.
Unless Mo Hongtu and Yi Hanshan have lost their minds, they wouldn't possibly instigate a war between the two worlds.”
Ye Canghai asked, “Then what exactly are they gathering twenty thousand people for?”
Tuoba Ye shook his head, “As for that, I'm not quite sure, so we'll need to investigate thoroughly.”
In the time that followed,
Tuoba Ye, Ye Canghai, and Tu Wanxian discussed and planned their next moves.
Not until dawn did everyone disperse and go their separate ways.
