Seeing the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect enraged, the chairman of Long Yan Group said in a pale and hurried tone, "Sect Leader, please calm down. We are not currently competing with them in a match, we are planning to ambush them, so..."
"So what?" the Long Yan Sword Sect Leader retorted sharply, "Taking the assassination of Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong as an example. If we send cultivators with a similar realm of cultivation as theirs, they won't be able to win quickly. Once Shen Qiang's support arrives, they will all die."
"If we send Mixed Elent Realm experts, they would imdiately abandon Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, instead charging into Long Yan Group or the Mountain Villa. Without strong experts to hold fort, we would rely watch as they slaughter!"
The chairman of Long Yan Group anxiously explained, "We can send Yang God Realm and Yin God Realm experts to kill Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, and then deploy our Mixed Elent Realm experts in a seven-against-five formation to intercept Shen's five strong cultivators. With that, we would already be on unbeatable ground."
Enraged, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect exclaid, "Indeed, these past twenty-so years of indulgence and your subordinates' flattery have turned your brain into rice porridge. If you really act as you're suggesting, I can guarantee that Shen Qiang will imdiately lead his Mixed Elent Realm experts and Yang God Realm experts to charge into Long Yan Mountain Villa."
With cold eyes, the Sect Leader glared at the pale-faced chairman of Long Yan Group and continued in a severe tone, "Look outside, 113 disciples in the Cultivation Stage, nine in the Nascent Soul Stage, thirty-three in the Golden Core Stage, fifty-seven in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and four in the Qi Condensation Stage."
"They are the foundation of our Long Yan Sword Sect. Yet if our Mixed Elent Realm, Yang God Realm, and Yin God Realm experts are all absent, and Shen Qiang leads his Mixed Elent Realm and Yang God Realm experts here without any strong force to suppress them, flattening this place would take rely monts!"
Gazing at the pale-faced chairman of Long Yan Group, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect questioned harshly, "By then, even if you managed to kill Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, what good would that do? Even if seven Mixed Elent Realm experts beat the other five, how many will remain?"
"All our disciples dead, the villa destroyed, the Sword Sect left with just a few people. In such a scenario, countless cultivators will swarm into Provincial City. Do you still think you can seize Shen Qiang's properties? The real question is whether we can even keep our own assets!"
Seeing the chairman of Long Yan Group speechless, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect coldly declared in a furious tone, "You must understand that Shen Qiang splitting his limited forces into four small groups, is exactly to play a ga of 'exchanging tactics with us,' showing a stance that he wants to exchange resources, making us cautious about our moves."
"The only way to break this situation now is to confront them head-on with people of equal cultivation and realm. If things go as expected, we will win, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory! Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of our own!."
"And our Long Yan Sword Sect, in the Cultivation World, is already mid-tier at best. If we can acquire Shen Qiang's resources cleanly, with so ti to cultivate our disciples, we indeed have a chance to beco a top-tier Sect."
"But if we clash head-on with Shen Qiang now, even killing all of them, our Long Yan Sword Sect would lose so many that we would fall from grace, turning into a diocre Sect, possibly even the last straw that breaks us."
Hearing this, the large office fell silent, the four dignified cultivators all sighed in silence.
At that mont, the chairman of Long Yan Group spoke up, "Sect Leader, I apologize. I indeed oversimplified the situation. I acknowledge my mistake. Please forgive . I just felt that we should not miss this best opportunity."
Seeing his admission of error,
The Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect's anger subsided slightly, followed by a proud smirk, "What good timing is now? Our Long Yan Sword Sect, although only of second-rank in the Cultivation World, isn't sothing that a re nobody like Shen Qiang can contend with."
Upon hearing this, the others' eyes brightened.
The chairman of Long Yan Group quickly asked, "Sect Leader, what do you an?"
With pride, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect smirked and said, "Right now, while still in Provincial City, the Mixed Elent Realm experts we have are only seven, but our Long Yan Sword Sect has many more experts scattered around the world."
"Among them, nine who have already been contacted and confird they can return to Provincial City within a week, with another four still being coordinated."
Seeing the excited faces of the four, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect arched an eyebrow proudly and said, "Moreover, I can explicitly tell you that the reason I gave Shen Qiang a week's notice, allowing him to prepare, on one hand, is to let the Cultivation World see that our Long Yan Sword Sect acts openly and honorably."
"On the other hand, it's because our Great Elder, currently in seclusion striving to enter the Dao Fruit Stage, will erge precisely after a week if successful."
Upon hearing this, the chairman of Long Yan Group's eyes sparkled, "The Great Elder is coming out of seclusion? By heavens, he is an absolute powerhouse standing at the peak of the Mixed Elent Realm. If he erges, killing Shen Qiang would be as easy as flipping a hand!"
The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect smiled, "You are correct. With the Great Elder presiding, Shen Qiang, even with six Mixed Elent Realm experts, is utterly inconsequential. Hence, it's not only Shen Qiang who needs ti; we too need ti."
"Even if the Great Elder does not successfully enter the Dao Fruit Stage and has to extend his seclusion by a week, once he erges and decides to eliminate the Shen family, it would rely be a simple task. Therefore, a week later will be our best opportunity to move against Shen Qiang."
"Sect Leader, your wisdom!" the chairman of Long Yan Group said excitedly, "Truly, everything is within your control. Compared to your wisdom, Shen Qiang is nothing but a fool, unworthy even of carrying your shoes."
The other three promptly followed suit.
"Indeed, the Sect Leader's bold strategy is sothing the likes of Shen Qiang could never compare to."
"Yes, Shen Qiang racks his brains just to play gas like 'placing the horses', but our wise Sect Leader has already seen right through him."
"Hmph, compared to our Sect Leader, Shen Qiang is less than nothing."
Hearing such flattery, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect showed a smug look but modestly said, "One shouldn't say that. Shen Qiang rising so quickly in such a short period, his military and civil strategies are certainly extraordinary. It's just that compared to , he is indeed still too green."
