Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover -
Chapter 219 - 219 218 Turbulence in the Divine City 2
219: Chapter 218: Turbulence in the Divine City 2 219: Chapter 218: Turbulence in the Divine City 2 Hou Niao had received the message by the next day, and although they were true participants, they were merely pawns.
Whether to capture or defend the flag was not for them to decide,
He understood very well, this was a struggle for power, not something that could be swayed by individual whims.
The two found a pavilion in the middle of a lake, leisurely enjoying themselves.
The pavilion was stocked with wine, food, fruits, which highlighted the wealth of the Anhe Daoist; such display was typical of the Daoist Sect, unlike the Quanzhen Sect that cared less about such matters.
The wine was excellent, and the food was even better.
Drinking cheerfully amidst such beautiful lake and mountains, it truly felt like the life of an Immortal.
“In such a place, once you come, you wouldn’t want to leave.
It dulls the edge of a cultivator, a great foe to us Sword Cultivators.
Junior Brother Hou, coming to Shan Country’s Quanzhen was the right choice, otherwise, what Cultivation would there be in such an environment?
You’d wish nothing but to enjoy life to the fullest, right?”
Hou Niao glared at him, “Senior Brother, isn’t that a bit biased?
Though life here is comfortable, isn’t it also a test?
For those who truly possess a Dao Heart, what does it count for?
Furthermore, there are many Upper Cultivators and Great Cultivators in the Anhe Daoist, and their Dao Hearts aren’t dulled either.
Here you are, speaking poorly of this place, yet you drink more wine than anyone and you’ve eaten several plates of meat!
I even saw you hiding two bottles of wine!
“Accusing while indulging, isn’t it just like you?”
Luo Linwang chuckled, still eating, “Your Senior Brother enjoys it with his mouth but despises it in his heart.
Well, treasure the moment.
Once the discussions start tomorrow, we might never get such a chance again.”
Hou Niao was indifferent, “Why not?
There’s plenty of time.
Having twenty-five people defend a single flag, I don’t understand what those above are thinking.
Isn’t that a waste of manpower?”
Luo Linwang became serious, “Junior Brother, don’t underestimate flag defending.
On the surface, this debate involves a conflict among thirteen countries, but in reality, it’s a confrontation between the Wu Sect and Quanzhen!
Just as we concentrate our major forces on how to capture Wu Sect’s flag, they will surely send their elites to capture ours.
It’s a battle of wits and momentum, a flag worth fighting for, so twenty-five people might not even be enough.”
Hou Niao thought about it, and it made sense.
For the Quanzhen Sect, capturing the enemy’s four flags was crucial, and similarly, the significance of Wu Sect capturing their major flag was also critical—it was a battle for military morale.
“Twenty-five people, who knows how long it will drag on if they come one by one?”
Luo Linwang shook his head, “We, as minor cultivators, have limited stamina.
If we fight with all our might, an hour is the limit, not to mention that not everyone is willing to drag it out; forget it, don’t think too much.
Junior Brother, you should prepare early.
Those five Jade Capital Senior Brothers each will likely bring a follower to ensure safety; be careful of being picked.”
Hou Niao chuckled, “That shouldn’t concern us, right?
To choose followers, they’d likely pick from those actively seeking to align.
Like you and me, with limited skills, strong temperaments, lots of flaws, and defiance to anyone— who would want us?”
According to the arrangements of several Daoist Uncle Ancestors, the five Jade Capital Senior Brothers will take actions under the Wu Sect’s flags.
It’s rather lonely for one person, and without cooperation, so they’ve each been assigned an assistant of their choice.
If two people attack the platform, at least there could be some coordination, avoiding a scenario where one person has to struggle alone; Zhu Jiuling’s arrangement actually suggests that the Jade Capital Disciples are far more superior in strength than the elites from the various states, or else they wouldn’t have such an unbalanced allocation of power.
In one-on-one fights, individual strength almost decides everything.
Hou Niao, spirited from drinking, said, “Wu Sect must have summoned all their elites this time, having to defend four flags and at least attack three.
It’s not a light task and shows that in recent years, they have had no shortage of extremely talented individuals.
Ultimately, they’re to defend seven flags, I just don’t understand where they get so many top-tier experts from?”
Luo Linwang grinned, “Your information isn’t accurate.
I’ve got the latest news from Uncle Li; Wu Sect isn’t just aiming for a minor victory over seven flags, but a complete victory over all thirteen!
Hou Niao was surprised, “Who gave them such audacity?
Aren’t they underestimating the heroes from the Southwest too much?”
Luo Linwang’s expression grew stern, “It is said to be from the latest secret report from the Sikong Mansion.
Wu Sect, in preparation for this Southwest discussion, aims to suppress all the Southwest countries comprehensively.
Therefore, through the Daoist connections, they sought support from the Daoists of the Southeast region.
Consequently, a number of Southeast Daoist True Disciples have joined the Wu Sect, which is the real reason behind their boldness.
Coming prepared against the unprepared, the result of this Southwest discussion isn’t just facing the Southwest Daoist but the whole Continent’s Daoist!”
Hou Niao was stunned, “Isn’t this a bit like cheating?”
Luo Linwang sighed, “Strength is the ultimate truth.
They can do this because the Daoist itself has great influence in Jinxiu Continent.
Quanzhen would want to do the same, but searching across the Continent, where could they find another Sword Cultivation Daoist?”
Hou Niao realized something, “So, you mean Wu Sect’s expansion is not an isolated case but an overall plan of the Continent’s Daoist?”
Luo Linwang nodded, “Exactly, so we have no way out; this isn’t just an issue for Anhe Daoist, but about how to stop the ambitions of Daoists across the entire Continent.”
Hou Niao sighed, “It can’t be stopped!
Once such things start, unless there is a severe crash, repressed by other Daoists with force, how could they possibly back down?
We might manage to stop it once in Anhe Daoist, but that would just be a fluke.
We can’t stop the trend unless there’s a full-scale war.”
Luo Linwang paused, wanting to say something but failing to find the words.
Yes, they, as minor cultivators, what could they really prevent in this Southwest discussion?
At best, they could only delay the Daoist’s advances.
They might not even manage that.
“Which are the real Wu Sect disciples?
And which are the helpers from the Southeast?
Can we tell them apart?”
Luo Linwang shook his head, “There’s no news about that for now, we’ll just have to fight and see.
But does it make any difference?
They all come from the Daoist, sharing the same ideology, the same Dao vein, even similar techniques.
I just wonder whether the Uncles are still following the original plan?”]’);
