The peaks of the Daluo Sect are shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, but there are also tis when the sky is clear, offering an expansive view.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Daluo Sect is called the [Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Array]. Once activated, the cloud sea completely envelops over a dozen peaks of the Daluo Sect.
Those outside cannot see inside, and those inside cannot see outside.
Flying Cloud Peak is renowned for its fierce winds and the unpredictable changes in the cloud sea.
Every winter, the clouds, under the influence of the fierce winds, keep splitting, gathering, and changing shapes, making it one of the great spectacles of the Daluo Sect.
But since the activation of the [Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Array], such a spectacle can no longer be seen.
Qing Wei Zhenren, dressed in a Daoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back on the rear mountain of Flying Cloud Peak, looking at the cloud sea beyond the cliff.
He is now the Peak Master of Flying Cloud Peak, in charge of the sect's discipline.
The forr Peak Master was Qing Yun Zhenren, besides Qing Xu, the one with the highest cultivation in the realm, and the strongest contender for reaching the pinnacle.
However, when Qing Xu rebelled, Qing Yun Zhenren followed suit and ultimately died at the hands of Yun Shu.
"Uncle Master."
Suddenly feeling a sense of sothing, Qing Wei turned around.
He saw the burly Tai Yu stepping up the stone stairs.
Tai Yu's entire skin was bronze, and his black hair danced wildly in the fierce wind.
Tai Yu nodded to Qing Wei, then looked ahead.
Like Qing Wei, he was watching the battle in the sky above Daluo Town.
When Wu Xuan suddenly took action to trap Zhao Jin, it had already alerted Qing Wei, who was now responsible for managing the [Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Array].
The Da Lan Dynasty set up a large array outside the Daluo Sect's gate to monitor every move of the Daluo Sect, and the Daluo Sect remained vigilant of the outside as well.
So Qing Wei left the practice room imdiately, and ca to the rear mountain of Flying Cloud Peak, gazing beyond the big array.
He did not expect that the disturbance outside would even alarm Tai Yu.
"Uncle Master, the Buddhists have co to seek an alliance with us, haven't they?"
Qing Wei said.
Tai Yu looked ahead: "Besides us, the Buddhists can't find a second ally now."
Qing Wei turned to him, growing tense: "Uncle Master, then what should we..."
If the next step is wrong, the Daluo Sect might fall into eternal damnation!
Tai Yu said nothing, still staring ahead.
Qing Wei showed a look of pain.
During that 'crossing the river' event back then, Tai Yu didn't hesitate to use the remaining Qi Fortune of the Daluo Sect to fight for his chance.
Unfortunately, he still failed to reach the pinnacle.
Though, by turning misfortune into fortune, his combat power reached the Prince level, but a Prince level is far from resolving the Daluo Sect's crisis.
"If I were given another ten years..."
Although Qing Wei has attained the combat power of a Prince level, his realm was elevated by external forces, requiring at least a few years to fully grasp the current realm.
A few more years would be needed to prepare for a breakthrough.
If given ten years, he would have so confidence in breaking through to beco a True Monarch!
Unfortunately, that top figure in history might not even need ten years to finish ascending.
The victory between the Da Lan Dynasty and the West Pole Country wouldn't take ten years to be made clear.
By then, it would be ti to determine the fate of the Daluo Sect.
While Qing Wei was contemplating, the situation outside had already changed——
The Holy Body of the Magic Corpse appeared, Wu Xuan fled, trapped by the Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array.
"The Da Lan Dynasty anticipated this in advance."
Qing Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Da Lan Dynasty anticipated the Buddhists making this move, the Buddhists then stood no chance to connect with the Daluo Sect.
As such, the Daluo Sect need not make a decision.
However, matters developed entirely beyond Qing Wei's expectations.
The River Guardian Heavenly King took strong action!
The Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array was broken, the Holy Body of the Magic Corpse was swept away by the Martial Arts River, and the situation reversed instantly.
"Please Daluo Sect, open the mountain gate to save!"
Zhou Xuanwo's voice echoed outside the mountain gate.
Qing Wei's complexion changed drastically.
This was truly a life-or-death decision for the Daluo Sect——
Watching Zhou Xuanwo get killed by the River Guardian Heavenly King, no matter how the Daluo Sect explained afterward, it could not be clarified.
It was practically overtly 'defecting'.
And if they took action to save Zhou Xuanwo...
The Tao-Buddha contention has lasted for years, with no foundation of trust, more so with grievances.
Moreover, the initial failure of Qing Xu was in large because of the Buddhists' sudden interference!
In such a scenario, if Tai Yu took action to rescue soone from the hands of the River Guardian Heavenly King, cooperation between both sides would be even harder.
"Such ruthless thods!"
Many thoughts flashed through Qing Wei's mind instantly.
He had already seen this was a sche intentionally set by the Da Lan Dynasty.
If the Buddhists had not sent a peak powerhouse, then they would surely have no chance of contacting the Daluo Sect.
Yet, if they did send a peak powerhouse, the Da Lan Dynasty could then use the opportunity to force the Daluo Sect to take a stance.
In such a hasty condition, with even the Buddhists having had no ti to lay out their terms, how should the Daluo Sect take a stance?
Helping the Da Lan Dynasty, they would have to worry about being called to account after the event, and helping the Buddhists, wouldn't they also have to worry?
Though the Daluo Sect has enmity with the Da Lan Dynasty, is the enmity with the Buddhists any less?
But now it is the Da Lan Dynasty that holds the advantage, striking swiftly and sharply, asking how the Daluo Sect will choose.
How can the Daluo Sect choose!
Unless from the start, there was determination to cooperate with the Buddhists, otherwise, no matter what, they should now step in to rescue, to leave so leeway for themselves.
And once done, there would be yet another gap between the Daluo Sect and the Buddhists.
The one who set this sche is precisely to slowly, step by step, push the Daluo Sect toward the Da Lan Dynasty!
Rumble——
The entire Flying Cloud Peak shook slightly.
The Tai Yu beside Qing Wei had disappeared.
