Chapter 315: Chapter 191: Black Mountain Sect’s Choice_2
Translator: 549690339
Black Mountain Sect’s Fifth Elder continued, “I propose that we should divide our sect’s power into three parts. One part should fully support the White Lotus Sect. One part should stay at the sect to observe the changes, and the last part should retreat secretly.”
As soon as the words fell, someone’s eyes shone with brilliance, and they couldn’t help but exclaim, “Excellent idea.”
After years of management and development, our sect has secretly recovered some vitality without the knowledge of the White Lotus Sect. They don’t even know the true strength of our Black Mountain Sect.
Even if they knew, our Black Mountain Sect sending out one-third of our strength to support them would be acceptable in name. They and the Hundred Sects wouldn’t say much, and in the future, we won’t be facing the wrath of the White Lotus Sect.
In addition, one part of our power will carry part of the sect’s inheritance elsewhere to ensure that the sect’s inheritance will not be cut off.”
The remaining members in the sect can calmly observe the situation. If there are opportunities to help the White Lotus Sect, this part can strike with full force to compensate for their dissatisfaction.
If the Morigin Demon Suppression Army is unstoppable, this part of the sect can transfer the entire sect’s inheritance in time.”
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder also nodded repeatedly. Although the proposal came from him, he hadn’t thought this much.
His only thought was to preserve the sect’s inheritance, which was more important than anything else.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he doesn’t want to let it go.
He had been to Morigin before and knew its profoundness and strength.
If Morigin were to go all out, even a united front of the Hundred Sects wouldn’t stand much of a chance.
Moreover, the Hundred Sects have been based in the near-sea region for years. Conflicts arise between them due to these interests, making it harder to form an alliance than reaching the heavens.
Yet Morigin is ambitious and actively expanding, with its momentum being as unstoppable as the rising sun.
Under these circumstances, the Black Mountain Sect still has a slim chance if they turn their backs on the White Lotus Sect.
If they confront the Morigin Demon Suppression Army, there will only be the road to destruction.
But since the Sect Master had made a decision, he could not change it. The only thing he could change was to leave a glimmer of hope for the Black Mountain Sect.
The Black Mountain Sect Master looked deeply at the other party and said softly, “In that case, let the Fifth Elder lead a group of core disciples and leave the sect first!”
With that, he closed his eyes and didn’t say another word.
He was well aware of the crisis that the Black Mountain Sect was about to face.
But as the Sect Master of Black Mountain Sect, he did not want to repeat the path taken by his predecessors eight hundred years ago.
He is the Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect, and he cannot retreat!
Also, the war has yet to begin, and everything remains uncertain.
Warships swiftly traversed the deep sky, generating layers of spatial ripples.
As they arrived in the near-sea region, Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi became even denser. At the same time, the void was filled with thick water mist, reducing visibility to less than half of the original.
However, this didn’t affect the ships’ speed. The grand fleet was unstoppable, marching forward.
Especially with the colossal Far Suppression battleship present, even the powerful Heavenly Human Realm experts had to avoid their sharp edges.
Suddenly, the void churned, as if something was approaching quickly. A huge mouth opened wide, seemingly trying to swallow the Treasure Boat and all the martial artists on it.
However, facing such a behemoth, everyone remained calm and showed no sign of panic.
As expected, when the huge mouth was about to touch the Treasure Boat, a dazzling light burst out from the boat, and a powerful force blasted the huge mouth.
Roar!
The Treasure Boat swayed slightly, while a wretched scream came from the depths of the sky.
Hmph, a mere Seventh Rank sea beast dares to attack our Morigin Demon Extermination Army, simply courting death!”
A cold voice sounded, and a dark figure stepped out of the void from the Treasure Boat and disappeared into the void.
Looking at the golden runes flashing around the figure, Lu Yun’s face changed.
Rune Seed Realm expert!
Moreover, he vaguely saw that the runes around this person numbered at least seventy or more, making them incredibly powerful.
Martial artists at the peak of the Gold Body Realm would inscribe Heavenly and Earthly Laws as runes and refine them into Rune Seeds on the strong foundation of their flesh. After enduring Thunder Tribulation, they could advance to the Rune Seed Realm.
There are four grades of Rune Seeds.
First, the Rune Seed that melts 36 Law Runes is considered a low-grade Rune Seed.
Second, the Rune Seed that melts 64 Law Runes is considered a mid-level Rune Seed.
Third, the Rune Seed that melts 81 Law Runes is considered a top-grade Rune Seed.
Fourth, the Rune Seed that melts 99 Runes is considered a superior Rune Seed.
The person releases more than 70 Law Runes from their body, which means that their Rune Seed is at least a mid-level Rune Seed and very close to the top- grade.
Moreover, this does not guarantee that these are all of their Law Runes.
Boom!
The commotion coming from the void is enough to prove that this sea beast is not as simple as an ordinary Seventh Rank.
Even so, bright red blood soon floats down, like a heavy downpour.
Such strength is definitely not something that an ordinary Rune Seed Realm expert can achieve.
As expected, the Earth-rank Demon Extermination General has extraordinary strength,” said Lei Canghe, feeling the fluctuations in the void gradually calming down and showing surprise in his eyes.
Before long, a huge creature falls from the depths of the void. Just before it hits the Treasure Boat, its remains vanish in a flash of golden runes.
At the same time, the black-clothed Earth-rank Demon Extermination General gracefully lands on the Treasure Boat.
The blood of a Seventh Rank sea beast has a huge value, and it can enhance the physical strength of the Demon Extermination Guard. Refine it well,” he said, waving his hand. The sea beast’s blood falls on every Demon Extermination Guard.
Thank you, General Zhuang!
All the Demon Extermination Guards on the Treasure Boat show excited expressions, looking at the black-clothed Demon Extermination General with even greater admiration.
On the other side, Lei Canghe whispered to Lu Yun, “This Demon Extermination General is named Zhuang Ziyuan, and he is one of the youngest Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals in the Demon Suppression Army, with a top-grade Rune Seed and a strong reputation.”
Lu Yun gave a faint smile.
So it is a top-grade Rune Seed indeed?
He had suspected this earlier, and now he got the confirmation from Lei Canghe himself.
Lu Yun did not pay any more attention to the vigorous low-level Demon Extermination General, but looked into the depths of the void and asked, “Elder Lei, isn’t the near-sea area the territory of the Hundred Sect? Why are there such powerful sea beasts appearing?”
The near-sea area is almost all land, not suitable for the ordinary Sea Clan to inhabit, but it is also the territory of sea beasts.
However, 800 years ago, the Hundred Sect escaped from Jiuzhou and fought a fierce battle with the sea beasts.
Eventually, because the sea beasts couldn’t fully exert their strength on land, they were defeated and retreated to the Outer Sea Region.
Since then, the near-sea area has become the territory of the Hundred Sect.
However, the enmity between the Hundred Sect and the Sea Clan has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, and from time to time, many high-level sea beasts attack the Hundred Sect’s territory.”
Hearing this, Lu Yun nodded slightly.
It seems that we have helped the Hundred Sect solve a problem,” he said.
Lei Canghe shook his head: “That’s not exactly right. The Hundred Sect, after all, is part of the Human Race. The conflict between Morigin and the Hundred Sect is due to differences in beliefs and positions, while the conflict between the Demon Beasts and the Sea Clan is one of racial differences.”
Racial conflicts are far greater than those of beliefs and positions, so for hundreds of years, Morigin has mainly focused on driving away the Demon Beasts and expanding the Great Wilderness, while suppressing the Hundred Sect as a secondary task.
If it weren’t for the Hundred Sect’s constant offenses against Morigin, today’s battle wouldn’t have come so soon.”
Lei Canghe’s words were something that Lu Yun hadn’t considered before.
However, this made him even more curious about the Yuan Emperor’s court.
The warship continues to travel through deep space, encountering sea beast attacks on the way more than once, but all are slain by the powerful beings on the warship.
Their bodies become trophies, while their blood becomes treasures to enhance the physical strength of the Demon Extermination Guards.
Time flies.
Standing on the warship, one can vaguely see the bustling city below.
However, the inhabitants of the city are just ordinary people under the rule of the Hundred Sect, and the Demon Suppression Army does not harm them, continuing to advance deeper into the territory.
