Chapter 431: Chapter 428: Change of Strategy

“`html

If it weren’t for the Yin Sha invading the body, damaging the lifespan, how terrifying would it be if the Great Grandmasters were no longer restricted in this world?

And if a Great Grandmaster, out of control, took killing as his mission, how many people could he kill?

What if this Great Grandmaster became stronger and stronger with each kill?

Just thinking about that situation, he inexplicably felt cold, this chill turning into a killing intent towards the Evil Sect.

The Evil Sect is actually no different from an internal traitor to humanity.

Borrowing the hand of outer world thieves to slaughter their kind, thereby strengthening the outer thieves.

If truly controlled, would everyone in this world be killed?

Would everything be completely destroyed?

Thinking of this, his expression became grave, he looked up at the void.

Vaguely, it seemed as if countless alien deities were spying, ready to devour this land at any moment.

He then took a deep breath and dismissed those thoughts.

He thought he might be over-sensitive, imagining things too severe.

The actual situation might not be that serious; otherwise, the God Punishment Bureau wouldn’t be so at ease.

He looked at Meng Canglan, who floated over.

Meng Canglan had always stayed in the city, not participating in the real siege.

With her presence, the Great Grandmasters of the Wuyou Sect would be cautious, unable to fight freely.

Meng Canglan ignored the dense branches, disregarding the numerous horizontal obstacles.

With a gust of lake-green silk clothes, she deftly avoided these branches, carrying a faint fragrance as she reached his side.

“Princely Heir,” she said softly, “there are more experts from the Evil Sect on their way.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded softly, “Let them come, the more the better.”

He scanned the people outside the woods.

They were gathering around the corpse, looking at the skeletonized body, discussing and speculating.

“Princely Heir, do you really want to eliminate them completely?” she said softly, “I’m afraid it’s impossible.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Kill as many as we can, the more the better. For every Evil Sect member that dies, countless innocent people might be saved.”

“…Indeed,” Meng Canglan said, “I’ve mobilized twenty more Grandmasters.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “No need to strain too much.”

Meng Canglan shook her head, “With your ambition, how could our sect shrink back? We will advance with you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of the Evil Sect’s revenge?” Chu Zhiyuan said, “Your large sect will lose quite a few disciples.”

This is the reason why the Wuyou Sect has always tolerated the Eastern Territory’s Evil Sect.

Now, this strategy needs to change.

He could imagine the tremendous resistance this would meet within the sect.

People become more conservative with age and are less willing to change.

It’s clear that the elders of the Wuyou Sect are in charge; how could a group of old-timers change their old strategy?

He turned around, his gaze shifting from the woods to Meng Canglan’s beautiful face, lingering thoughtfully, “It’s not just you acting recklessly, is it?”

Meng Canglan chuckled softly, shook her head, “The Princely Heir overestimates my power.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “But you’re the Holy Daughter.”

Meng Canglan said, “The Holy Daughter of our sect is different from the Holy Daughter of the Yao Yue Palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “So I’m even more curious, how did you manage to bring in twenty Grandmasters?”

The Holy Daughter of the Wuyou Sect can only manage the younger generation, not the higher ranks.

The power is much less than that of the Yao Yue Palace.

Moreover, Grandmasters are usually seniors, not easy for her to mobilize.

Unless the elders speak.

And it’s almost impossible for the elders to change the original strategy of the Wuyou Sect.

So, he was very curious.

“It’s actually the elders’ idea.”

“Impossible, right?”

“They were influenced by the Princely Heir, changed their minds, and decided to cooperate with the Princely Heir, taking the initiative to eliminate the Evil Sect!”

“…From your sect’s standpoint, this is understandable, though I’m disappointed, I understand.”

“The Princely Heir is indeed disappointed.”

“How could I not be disappointed? In the vast Eastern Territory, the Evil Sect is so rampant,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “Look at other places, the Evil Sect is not as rampant as this; compared to the other three sects, your Wuyou Sect has done the worst.”

“…”

“But given that your Wuyou Sect has the most people, it’s unavoidable; the Evil Sect can never be entirely killed off.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “So I understand your Wuyou Sect’s concerns.”

The cultivation method of the Evil Sect allows one to reap without sowing, a temptation hard to resist; few can refuse it.

If no one wished to reap without sowing, wanted shortcuts, the Outer Heaven Power would have no chance.

But as long as people exist, as long as their inherent flaws remain, the Evil Sect cannot be eradicated, cannot be completely killed.

The four great Demon Sects, the Wuyou Sect has the most disciples and the most fear of the Evil Sect.

The other three Demon Sects have fewer people, each a genius among geniuses, only they kill the Evil Sect, while the Evil Sect can hardly kill them.

“The Princely Heir is wise,” Meng Canglan sighed softly.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “I understand, but I don’t agree with your methods; I’m really disappointed in you.”

Despite their difficulties, they shouldn’t let the Evil Sect run wild and grow unrestrained.

From the stance of the Court and the people, it is intolerable.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Your Wuyou Sect is too naive, really think that if the Evil Sect doesn’t touch you, your disciples will always be safe? … Once they grow to a certain point, they will surely destroy you, and by then, everyone will die.”

“…Indeed.” Meng Canglan sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “But I also understand, to survive a day is to earn a day.”

Meng Canglan shook her head, “Actually, our sect didn’t think there were so many Evil Sect fiends in the Eastern Territory.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

With so many ears and eyes in the Eastern Territory, how could they not notice anything?

“Then why did the elders change their minds?” Chu Zhiyuan said, “Don’t say you were influenced by me to fool me.”

“…Not fooling the Princely Heir,” Meng Canglan said, “It was indeed because of the Princely Heir’s determined attitude that our sect decided to firmly side with the Princely Heir.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Are you saying that previously not targeting the Evil Sect was because the Emperor wasn’t that resolute?”

“…If resolute, the Emperor does have ways.”

“…Regardless, we still must thank your esteemed sect,” said Chu Zhiyuan.

He didn’t know exactly why the Wuyou Sect finally changed strategy, finally deciding to completely deal with the Evil Sect.

But as long as it was done, it was good.

Meng Canglan’s bright eyes shone.

She sighed inwardly.

The elders in the sect are also those who fear the strong.

Why cooperate so much with the Princely Heir, why change the original strategy?

Because of the Princely Heir’s sword technique.

The Princely Heir’s sword technique is unparalleled; once he steps into the Great Grandmaster level, no Great Grandmaster would be a match for him.

This pure suppression through sword technique is different from becoming the Emperor’s Sword’s master.

Becoming the Emperor’s Sword’s master brings numerous restrictions, not allowing acts on whims.

For such a Princely Heir, to strive for a good relationship, to cooperate, is what the Wuyou Sect needs to do.

As for the Evil Sect’s revenge, as long as they exterminated all the experts from the Evil Sect that came, it would be fine.

As long as no news gets out.

On the contrary, if the Princely Heir were truly angered, if his attitude changed, and he turned against the Wuyou Sect in the future, settling scores, the Wuyou Sect might not be able to withstand it.

Sacrificing the small for the big, thus decisively abandoning the original strategy.

The elders are an old-fashioned bunch, but when it comes to life and death, the situation of the Wuyou Sect, they react quickly, change quickly.

This made her both laugh and respect them.

Then she thought of their idea, and her cheeks flushed, silently shaking her head.
