728: Chapter 221_2 728: Chapter 221_2 “Recruiting disciples indeed should not be interrupted, but…” Nie Jie also had a headache and continued, “Yet these days, the world is too chaotic, and our Hundred Peaks Sect was previously attacked by the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty.
Although, during this period, they have not been provoking us, the people from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect are still causing disturbances everywhere in our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
However, since the last incident, they have not appeared from the direction of our Hundred Peaks Sect, and the people from the Great Lai Dynasty have also withdrawn into seclusion.
But the date for our Hundred Peaks Sect to recruit disciples is known to them, and I fear they might come to cause trouble at this time.”
Cao Zhen did know why the people from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect had not been causing trouble lately.
The reason was quite simple; the person in charge of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect in the vicinity of the Hundred Peaks Sect should be Eclipse Demon.
Then, all of Eclipse Demon’s underlings died in the relics of the Ten Sounds Sky Demon, and Eclipse Demon himself had hunkered down to cultivate, naturally having no time to cause any disturbances.
Nie Jie spoke, pausing briefly, then looked at Cao Zhen and said, “Among the top ten Immortal Sects, the Bright Heart Sect and our Hundred Peaks Sect recruit disciples in the same year, and Bright Heart Sect does so before us.
I got the news that those who the Bright Heart Sect had sent out to recruit disciples all over were ambushed and killed.
The first batch of disciples sent out for recruitment was completely wiped out by the forces of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and those of the Earth Jing Dynasty, which is near Bright Heart Sect.
After that, Bright Heart Sect dispatched a large number of disciples and finally completed the recruitment, but even so, they suffered heavy losses.
It’s said that one of their masters with Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection was seriously injured, and they also lost two other masters at the Golden Core Great Perfection level!”
“Has the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty fallen into this level of chaos?
Even Bright Heart Sect, which is also among the top ten Immortal Sects, has been targeted?
Then, what about the common people…” Cao Zhen couldn’t imagine, if the top ten Immortal Sects were in such a state, what kind of suffering ordinary mortals would endure amidst this catastrophe.
“Now the world is in turmoil, but the situation of mortals is actually much better than when it all began,” Nie Jie, seeing the confusion in the Sect Leader’s eyes, explained, “When the reversal of heaven and earth first happened, mortals were indeed in huge distress, and many cities were even destroyed.
Of course, those who went to destroy cities and slaughter mortals were all from the Demon Sects.
But gradually, whether it’s because the Demon Sects found that slaughtering mortals dispersed their power too much, or they discovered that slaughtering mortals wasn’t very useful.
Unless some Demon Sects needed to sacrifice mortal blood, otherwise, they stopped slaughtering mortals.
Now, whether it’s the Sun and Moon Demon Sect or the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, their targets are all in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s cultivation world.”
Nie Jie spoke, and after another short pause, he said in a low voice: “Moreover, the actions of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Red Refinery Demonic Sect make me increasingly certain that they have colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
The remnants of the previous dynasty wish to overthrow the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and the first thing they need to do is to plunge the world into chaos, which is why the people of the Demon Sects targeted the mortals of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty at the beginning.
They even made those mortals lose trust in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
But ultimately, their goal is to seize their lost territory.
In their eyes, the citizens of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty will eventually be their subjects, so they do not want to see too many of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s people slaughtered.
Once their goals are met, the Demon Sects no longer target mortals.”
“That seems to be the case,” Cao Zhen looked at Nie Jie, pondered for a moment, then asked, “How many days are left before we go out to recruit disciples?”
Nie Jie answered without hesitation: “Three days.
In three days, we will be leaving.”
“Good, I will give you an answer in two days,” Cao Zhen planned to see what the Eclipse Demon was up to now.
If Eclipse Demon made no move, that would be even better.
After all, Eclipse Demon should be the person responsible for the Sun and Moon Demon Sect in this area.
His inaction would imply that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect had made no moves.
If the Sun and Moon Demon Sect had any plans, they would definitely inform Eclipse Demon.
Cao Zhen quickly connected to Eclipse Demon through the Zhonghua Cloud.
Eclipse Demon was still in his lair, cultivating the Ten Sounds of Destruction.
Cao Zhen had already cultivated all Ten Sounds to their current extreme, but Eclipse Demon’s Ten Sounds of Destruction had barely reached level thirty.
He watched for two days and found no movement from Eclipse Demon, so he roughly knew that this time, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect probably wouldn’t target the Hundred Peaks Sect.
However, he did not know whether the other Demon Sect, the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, would target the Hundred Peaks Sect.
“So, my spy is just sitting alone in loneliness.
Isn’t he worried that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect will kick him out directly!”
Cao Zhen, feeling helpless, looked again at Nie Jie who had found him and thought for a moment before speaking: “Well then, this time I need to practice Alchemy, so I will continue to stay in the Sect.
Xiang Ziyu needs to cultivate his Divine Skills, so let him stay within the Sect, too.
Have a few of my disciples, Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Little Beiyan, along with Li Ke and Liè Yàn, lead teams of disciples to various places to recruit.
With them in charge, there’s no need to worry.”
Nie Jie nodded slightly and said, “In this way, although our recruitment speed will be slower, we can ensure safety.
I will make the arrangements now.”
