Chapter 1052: Chapter 995: Alliance Chapter 1052: Chapter 995: Alliance There are quite a few elders like this, who although not as outspoken, have very clear attitudes: they do not support the re-establishnt of the Mountain Protection Array.
After all, the benefits do not justify the costs!
Instead of using so many Spiritual Objects to set up Formations, it would be better to use them to enhance the strength of our clansn, which in turn would more effectively ensure the security of the family.
“I believe that we must support the re-establishnt of the Mountain Protection Array! It would be best if we could maximize the power of the Great Array!”
The Intelligence Elder, who rarely speaks up at family etings, stood out this ti and said with a very serious expression: “According to so information collected by the family, it is very likely that the Devil Race of the Thousandfold Mountains is brewing a massive beast tide, intending to slaughter all Cultivators, or at the very least drive them away!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing these words, all the elders present were greatly shocked and their expressions filled with panic and unease.
Even Li Xunda was unsettled and asked in a deep voice, “Is this information true or false? When did you find out about this? Why wasn’t it reported?”
“It was only recently that I noticed the bizarre movents of the Devil Race through the various pieces of intelligence gathered by our clansn, and after further investigation, I made such a conjecture.”
As the elder spoke, he took out a Jade Slip and said, “It was only half an hour before the eting was called that I received this Jade Slip.”
Li Xunda imdiately took the Jade Slip with Mana, checked its contents, and in a short while, his expression had beco very serious.
“Everyone please read this and then share your thoughts.”
The situation had arisen so suddenly that Li Xunda needed so ti to carefully consider and deduce whether the Devil Race really intended to start a war on the mountain cultivators.
Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the great hall beca extrely serious.
Because the clues and evidence in the Jade Slip were already very clear!
The Devil Race was definitely brewing a large-scale war that was about to erupt.
The only doubt was the direction of the Devil Race’s attack, or whether the Li family would be involved.
“The fighting power of the mountain Devil Race is far stronger than ours, but due to certain rules, those seventh-order Devil Beasts cannot engage in battle personally. Even if they truly launch a war, I think the safety of the family is still sowhat guaranteed,” the Internal Affairs Elder broke the silence in the quiet hall.
After all, the Mount Wanxian where the Li family resides is located on the outermost southeastern side of the mountains and is quite distant from the core territory of the Devil Race, with many powers in between, so it is unlikely that the Li family will be easily affected.
However, if it is as the Intelligence Elder said, that the Devil Race intends to drive out all Cultivators from the Thousandfold Mountains, then the Li family cannot remain uninvolved.
“The Devil Race is now fully mobilized and is truly preparing to co out in full force. This posture is completely different from the previous beast tides. They will certainly not be content with small gains. The family must prepare for all eventualities!”
In the past, the Devil Race launched beast tides mainly to proactively reduce the number of low-level Devil Beasts to prevent environntal overload, and at the sa ti to select and cultivate promising young devils.
Therefore, the beast tide was mainly composed of low-level Devil Beasts, with high-level ones serving to drive and supervise the battle without directly participating.
But this ti is completely different!
Based on various pieces of intelligence that the family has collected and investigated, the Devil Race has already assembled a large army, gathering all levels, from low to high.
It is precisely because of its large scale that it cannot be concealed, which is how the Li family discovered so clues and spied on the actions of the Devil Race.
“With the war imminent, it is impossible for our clan mbers’ strength to greatly increase in a short period of ti, so we can only strengthen the Mountain Protection Array to resist the Devil Race.”
However, this proposal was still opposed by so elders.
“A prolonged defense will surely fail! If the situation truly reaches this point, and the Devil Race has already captured other parts of the Thousandfold Mountains, leaving only Wanxian of our family, with the enemy forces pressing, how long can a strong Mountain Protection Array actually hold?”
“Moreover, if the situation really deteriorates to such an extent, why do we have to stick to Mount Wanxian? Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to Wanling Island directly?”
“The family has been operating on Mount Wanxian for so many years, cultivating a large number of Spirit Veins and Spiritual Objects. Once we leave, there will be a huge loss, which is not a good thing for the family.”
“But when it cos down to a critical mont of life and death, the continuation of the family and the lives of our clansn are the most important. These external possessions can be reclaid in the future!”
Li Xunda, listening to their arguing, slamd the table with a stern face and said, “What ti is it now, and you still have the mood to argue?”
He, the Clan Leader who has not been in office for long, still commands a certain amount of respect. Seeing his anger, the elders all quieted down.
“Unless there is absolutely no alternative, the family must not abandon Mount Wanxian!”
This was the bottom line defined by Li Xunda.
Mount Wanxian is too important for the Li family, housing over eighty percent of the family’s essence. Losing Mount Wanxian would an a great loss in strength for the Li family, and its foundation and accumulations would be greatly diminished.
Although Wanling Island has also developed well over the years, it is far from comparable to Mount Wanxian!
“So, let’s all think carefully about how to resist the Devil Race,” Li Xunda finished, giving ti for everyone to ponder this issue.
After a while, an elder tentatively spoke up, “To hold the Thousandfold Mountains with just the power of our Li family alone is impossible; we must unite with other forces!”
“Regardless of the relationship between those forces and our family, whether they are aware of the Devil Race’s movents or not, the news must be made public, allowing them ti to prepare and avoid being caught off guard by the Devil Race.”
