710: Chapter 218_2 710: Chapter 218_2 “Don’t you know what you should be doing at this time?
The Hundred Peaks Sect is busy with their own defenses, they simply have no time to care about anything else.”
“Shouldn’t you be leading our Sun and Moon Demon Sect’s disciples to visit the towns around the Hundred Peaks Sect, to slaughter those mortals, and to the nearest small sects, to exterminate them, causing the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty to descend further into chaos?”
“Yet you have done nothing and just stayed here!”
Eclipse Demon was silent for a moment.
Of course, he knew that his task was to plunge the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty into greater chaos, and he knew that was what he should do.
But what would be the consequences of such actions?
What if Cao Zhen and the others really did come to kill him?
Then, they would have to face the wrath of the Hundred Peaks Sect and withstand the attacks from experts like Cao Zhen.
At that time, he might not even be able to escape.
But it was different being here.
If the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect really did attack, he could immediately retreat into the sect doors of the East Sea Mirage and join forces with them to confront the Hundred Peaks Sect.
In that case, even if a big battle ensues, the chaos would give him a much better chance to escape.
Before encountering those Golden Core Stage cultivators from the Hundred Peaks Sect, he had never imagined that the Golden Core Stage could be so powerful.
He was truly frightened!
Yes, he had ordered his subordinates to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect fearlessly, but just because he told his men not to fear death didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of dying.
He had cultivated so hard to reach this level, achieving the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and had managed to survive until the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
Now, with the relics of the Reversal Mini Epoch Period yet to emerge, how could he die so easily!
Cao Zhen was shocked.
He finally understood the purpose of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect: it was not to breach the Hundred Peaks Sect, but to create more chaos in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Just like the current situation, even if the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty did not defeat the Hundred Peaks Sect, the Hundred Peaks Sect would still have to retaliate against them.
By then, not only the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty but even the Great Lai Dynasty would be thrown into chaos as a result.
And after the Hundred Peaks Sect attacks the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, their ability to defend their own region will be weakened.
Then it will be even easier for them to stir up trouble.
But what is their purpose in doing this?
If it had been before, he might have suspected that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect simply wanted revenge on the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
However, Yan Yourong had previously informed him that Yu Tuoyu had left a message.
“The Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect may be colluding with the remnants of the former dynasty!”
If they were indeed colluding, then everything makes sense.
They muddy the waters of the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, pushing it into disorder, hence making it easier for the remnants of the former dynasty to stage a comeback.
Speaking of this world, and not just his previous life, throughout the entire history, the rise and fall of dynasties have always been due to the chaos of one dynasty, which provides an opportunity for another dynasty to rise and overthrow the current rule.
And if the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect are doing this, it must be because the remnants of the former dynasty promised them benefits.
Perhaps after the restoration of the old dynasty, they would establish the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect as the state religion, or perhaps something else.
After giving almost a reprimand, Hei Xing pointed to the distance and said, “Call all disciples.
Now, follow me to Cheng Ji Jiang City and let’s obliterate that city.
The Hundred Peaks Sect has made no move, evidently continuing to build up their strength.
We can’t give the Hundred Peaks Sect this opportunity.
We have to make them dance to our tune, lead them by the nose!”
Cao Zhen saw that the people of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect had already begun to gather and quickly retreated from the China Cloud.
Jijiang City and Ten Thousand Horse City are both close to the Hundred Peaks Sect, but one lies to the west of the Hundred Peaks Sect and the other to the east.
This east-west division creates a great disparity.
To the west of the Hundred Peaks Sect, it is closer to the border and more chaotic, but to the east of the Hundred Peaks Sect, thanks to the barrier set by the Hundred Peaks Sect, the people of the Great Lai Dynasty would never invade, making the cities on the east side of the Hundred Peaks Sect much more prosperous.
Jijiang City, in particular, is a large city with a population of over 500,000.
If the Sun and Moon Demon Sect were to enter the city and start a massacre, who knows how many would die.
Cao Zhen did not consider himself a saint, but upon learning this news, he couldn’t just watch as Jijiang City was slaughtered by the Sun and Moon Demon Sect!
But how could he save them?
The disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect will surely suffer many casualties if they go into battle.
If he and the others from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect go, they only have slightly over three hundred Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Among these Golden Core Stage cultivators, there are even those at the First Layer and Second Layer of Golden Core.
If he went along with Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Little Beiyan, and they suddenly struck, inflicting heavy damage on some of them first, followed by the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect joining the fight…
This way, they could avoid casualties among the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Zhen soon had an idea.
He did not tell anyone the news he had learnt.
After all, the people of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect were still in the Great Lai Dynasty; daring to come also takes time.
What he needed to do was just to arrive at Jijiang City before the people of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Two days later, Cao Zhen stopped his alchemy, instructed Yi Sheng to watch the Pill Furnace for him, and then gathered two hundred Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Along with Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Little Beiyan, he quietly set off for Jijiang City.
This time, he left Xiang Ziyu behind.
After all, that young man was now the Transmission Elder, needing to learn all kinds of cultivation techniques and Divine Skills of the Hundred Peaks Sect first—just right to leave him at the Sect.
In truth, taking so many people away this time, he wasn’t so worried.
