"I’m afraid this is akin to inviting a wolf into the house!"
The crowd couldn’t help but shudder in response.
Indeed, both options Luo Chen ntioned seed capable of resolving Qingdan Valley’s concerns for the next hundred years, but one cut off the Taoist lineage, and the other was like inviting a wolf into the house.
The forr was directly vetoed.
As for the latter, the first to do so would be considered a genius, but for a second to do so would likely be deed a fool.
"Nephew Tao Wen, please elaborate on what Luo Chen has proposed as the best strategy!"
"Yes, I also want to know why our minor Golden Core Great Sect would initiate an open war."
"Has Luo Chen lost his mind?"
Amidst these discussions,
Tao Wen shook his head, "Honestly, when I first heard this top strategy, I was also shocked. But after having it explained to , I found there was indeed so sense to it."
"It’s not our sect that would initiate an open war, but rather, we would be starting it on behalf of the Luo Yun Sect!"
Upon hearing this,
Everyone was stunned!
In the ensuing silence, gradually, so began to whisper in approval.
"This strategy is truly brilliant!"
"Indeed, the Luo Yun Sect actually already ets the conditions to initiate an open war."
"If they conduct the open war, not only could it resolve the civil war within Yu Ding Realm, but it could also shift all the internal conflicts out of the region."
"But then, when that ti cos, whether Qingdan Valley participates... Gentlen, you must know that open war is always the most dangerous and horrifying type of war!"
"Indeed, our junior brothers, being young, may not really understand the situation of the open war that occurred four hundred years ago. In that war, three entire sects were completely destroyed, and several others declined. Even Qingdan Valley took three hundred years to gradually recover to its current state."
Open war, for human cultivators, is a battle over territory for cultivation land benefits.
But for the countless tribe of demon beasts in the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains,
It is a battle of survival.
In such circumstances, high order monsters won’t discuss any rules or conventions of the Immortal Cultivation World with you.
At that ti, it is very likely that a Nascent Soul level Fourth Order Beast Emperor will face thousands of Qi refining and foundation building rogue cultivators.
Just by releasing a breath of demon qi, there could be innurable casualties.
No sect would dare to endure a war of such magnitude!
Facing the elders’ advice, the younger Ascendant Masters like Long Shou and Bai Su held different opinions.
"If we don’t participate, we can profit from selling elixirs."
"To participate, is simply to share the risks, but Qingdan Valley, being populous and financially robust, would endure the sa damages, yet we could retain more yuan qi."
"Most importantly, through this process, whether the open war is successful or not, the crowded power structure of Yu Ding Realm will be broken and cleared. By then, Yu Ding Realm will naturally create enough space for us to survive."
"Luo Chen’s plan is ingenious, though it won’t have an imdiate effect. Yet, once successful, it could at least secure several hundred years of stable developnt for Qingdan Valley."
As Ascendant Master Long Quan uttered the last sentence,
Others also expressed their agreent.
Especially after reflecting on all three strategies, many showed admiration in their eyes.
Regardless of whether these three strategies were feasible, they had assuredly provided Qingdan Valley with plans and solutions for the short, dium, and long term.
"Such a talent, if he were in our Qingdan Valley, could not only beco a generation’s Pill Refinent Grandmaster but also a superb royal aide."
"It’s a pity, he was first secured by that scarce and less-favored Ice Castle."
Amongst expressions of regret and admiration,
Ascendant Master Long Shou Peak suddenly beca curious, "But how could we help Luo Yun Sect initiate an open war? You know, unless the other party applies first, open war can’t be easily initiated."
Facing this question,
Before Tao Wen could even share Luo Chen’s thod, an aged voice ca from the highest end of the hall,
"White Night Traveling Palace!"
The crowd gasped, gradually realizing the implication.
And Tao Wen, his heart skipping a beat, glanced subconsciously at the young man with the elegance of a dragon and the beauty of a spring morning.
The thoughts of the Supre Elder were exactly the sa as Luo Chen’s!
At Divine Transformation Relics in Accumulation Thunder Mountain, which was the forr site of the Divine Transformation for a Great Power of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land Dark Abyss Sect,
If they proactively inford Dark Abyss Sect, attracting Holy Land cultivators,
The others naturally would not overlook the chaos in Yu Ding Realm.
By then, just by embellishing a bit, following old practices, it’s very likely that Dark Abyss Sect would make Luo Yun Sect initiate the open war themselves.
"Senior Brother!"
"Great Elder!"
"Senior Brother Qing Danzi, given the current situation, what do you think we should do?"
Faced with all eyes, Qing Danzi, looking young and tired, waved his hand.
"Let’s implent the worst strategy first!"
Sect Leader Qing Yunzi subconsciously nodded.
Suddenly, he realized the implication in the other’s words.
"First?"
Qing Danzi murmured, "Luo Chen seed to have given us three strategies, allowing us to choose one. But isn’t it rather a way to implent all three strategies simultaneously?"
The crowd gasped.
Reflecting on the aning behind his words.
Gradually, they all ca to their senses.
The worst strategy to calm the public, the middle strategy to protect the sect, the best strategy to find living space.
It’s not about choosing one of them; it clearly involves implenting all three simultaneously to protect the sect’s Taoist lineage.
Qing Danzi sighed, "It’s unavoidable, who would have anticipated that Luo Yun Sect would breach the five hundred-year pact first, giving Sword Sect a reason to act. Otherwise, why would we need to face the pressure from Sword Sect!"
Ultimately, it all cos down to circumstances beyond our control!
Suddenly, he shifted his tone.
"Let Tao Wen handle this matter!"
