718: Chapter 219_4 718: Chapter 219_4 Nie Jie looked at Cao Zhen with confusion and explained, “Sect Leader, our Hundred Peaks Sect is indeed an Immortal Sect of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and so are they.
The people from the Great Lai Dynasty attacking us is also a slap in the face of all the Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Moreover, when the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty present a united front against outsiders, shouldn’t we, the Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, know to do the same?
No matter how we compete against each other on normal days, once the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrives, all the great Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty will support each other.
Of course, the arrival of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and others was so sudden that the other great Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty didn’t have time to react, but if we were to attack the Great Lai Dynasty, the great Immortal Sects would certainly provide support.
After all, if they send people, then when the time comes, and the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty are defeated, they can naturally take the resources of those Sects for themselves.
To them, it would be beneficial as well.
Moreover, if our top ten Immortal Sects join hands, the other major Sects won’t need to send too many people; just one hundred Golden Core Stage cultivators from each Sect, combined with our Hundred Peaks Sect taking the lead, would naturally be enough to easily crush those three great Sects.
Their disciples wouldn’t lose too much either.”
As Cao Zhen listened to Nie Jie’s words, his heart suddenly jolted, and he thought of the conversation between the Eclipse Demon and Hei Xing from before.
Looking around and finding no one nearby, he suddenly lowered his voice, “We cannot invite the other major Immortal Sects, because this could very well be a conspiracy of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, and even the remnants of the former dynasty’s corrupted royals.
I have already confirmed something—The reason the Sun and Moon Demon Sect joined forces with the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty to attack us is not necessarily to take down our Hundred Peaks Sect but to cause even more chaos within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
And once we invite the other great Immortal Sects to attack their three Sects, those Sects will surely be weakened.
If at this time, the remnants of the former dynasty and the two major Demon Sects join forces with the Immortal Sects of other countries to attack us, how will we respond?
Or what if they don’t attack us but lie in ambush within the Great Lai Dynasty?
I’m afraid they have already predicted that we would invite the top ten Immortal Sects, so they’ve remained inactive so far, waiting for us to invite the other Sects and for our people to leave the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty before they begin their scheming.”
Nie Jie was suddenly taken aback.
He had not failed to consider why they would attack the Hundred Peaks Sect, but he hadn’t thought that they were targeting all ten major Immortal Sects of the whole Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Yet, what Peak Master Cao said was not impossible.
“If that is indeed the case, then their goal is to overthrow the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Not only that, but since the royal family of the former dynasty were cultivators, they might even want to overthrow the entire power structure of the Immortal Sects!
After all, though I am not clear about the specifics of the past, I suspect it was really all the great Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty working together that annihilated the former dynasty,” Nie Jie said with a deep frown, troubled, “But we can’t just not attack those three great Sects.
Are we to rely on our own strength to attack them?
If so, even if we, the Hundred Peaks Sect, are victorious, our losses would be significant.”
“Vengeance must be taken, and indeed, when we take it, I do plan to rely solely on the power of our Hundred Peaks Sect, but who says that taking revenge has to result in losses?” Cao Zhen pointed to himself, then pointed into the distance and said, “Tell me, when the time comes, if I, Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Little Bei Yan, were to seek revenge on the three great Sects together, could they hinder us?
Even if we cannot take down their Immortal Sect, if we want to leave, their overwhelming numbers still won’t be able to stop us.
At that time, if we continuously harass their three Sects, none of them will dare to leave their Sect.
The Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth will bring about the emergence of relics, so if they are capable, let them not contend for those relics.
Moreover, no matter how solid their Mountain Protection Array is, or how hard their shell, if we attack it bit by bit, there will come a day when we break through.
Once we breach their Mountain Protection Array and we wear them down, they will surely reach a point where they can’t take it anymore.”
Cao Zhen had already thought of a strategy.
With so many experts on their side, they would dispatch them directly for a confrontation.
If their group of experts joined forces, it would be nearly impossible for the other side to hold them back.
Of course, in the past, others had the opportunity to strike because he and Ling Xi, Xiang Ziyu, and others were all absent from the Hundred Peaks Sect, so he would also learn from the past.
A couple of experts would remain at the Hundred Peaks Sect.
This time was different from the last when they were unable to return from the Minor Worlds.
This time, when they went to attack the Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, there wouldn’t be a situation where they couldn’t come back.
Moreover, this time he had also improved the Great Formation of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and there were more cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.
Once all the Golden Core stage cultivators in the Hundred Peaks Sect had improved, their strength would increase further.
Only then would he feel reassured enough to leave the Hundred Peaks Sect and attack the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty.
Nie Jie understood what the Sect Leader meant—the Sect Leader wanted to rely on their even stronger position, with more experts, directly dispatching them to wear down the opponents bit by bit.
Once the Mountain Protection Arrays of the three Sects were breached, the Sect Leader and others could at any time enter any of the three Sects.
