In any case, since they've sent people, it's tantamount to a secret declaration of war.
Hmm, no, that's not right.
Whether or not war will be declared depends on whether the Chaoran Sect acknowledges the sneak attack.
If they admit it, then war will break out.
But if that old guy Dong Zongshu is shameless and refuses to admit it, then this matter will just be dropped.
After all, we can't make a judgment based on the words of a prisoner. What if it's a frame-up by other forces?
Although everyone knows what's going on, this amount of evidence is still insufficient.
However, if Pengshan retaliates, it would be unethical, because the matter has not yet been "clarified".
Just like when two people fight, no matter what the cause was, the one who strikes first will inevitably be seen as the instigator and will be ostracized by others.
Of course, you can return it in the same way.
Even if the other party is shameless, Wu Er still has his pride. He can't do this kind of thing; it won't do any good for Pengshan Sect, which doesn't have control over public opinion in the cultivation world.
Besides, there wasn't a suitable time, and the returns weren't great.
Suppress several of the enemy's branch sects? Kill or injure a hundred or so cultivators?
These are all trivial matters for major sects.
Like this surprise attack by the Chaoran Sect, it can't really be considered an attack; at most, it was a test.
After all, there weren't many cultivators attacking, and none of them were experts.
Such a force is nothing to the Chaoran Sect.
Of course, Pengshan Sect had to respond to this probing.
The sect's and Wu Er's attitudes are quite clear.
Although I don't want to start trouble, I'm ready to fight if I'm not convinced!
To express this attitude, Pengshanmen did some barbaric things, though they can't really be called barbaric. In the face of war, all barbarity seems much more civilized.
What exactly is it?
The corpses of those cultivators who were killed by Zhang Wu in a single blow were transported to the front of the Chaoran Sect by cloud boat.
In the world of cultivation, well... to be precise, under the influence of feudal ideology, people always place extra importance on corpses.
The actions of Pengshanmen, which can be considered an insult to a corpse, certainly conveyed a tough stance.
However, these people who were abandoned are also pitiful. They were treated as dispensable during their lives and were not given a proper burial after their deaths.
The purpose of making these people pay with their lives was to test the attitude of Pengshan Sect.
Hundreds of lives were lost in the fight for a single stance.
The hundreds of corpses were a statement.
The morning sun is slowly shining down, turning the sky a beautiful golden-red.
Wu Er stood atop a small hill, gazing into the distance. Perhaps he was looking too far, for no one could tell what he was looking at.
Actually, he wasn't looking at anything; he was just thinking.
To ponder a question that has remained unresolved for centuries, or rather, a meaning that no one can comprehend.
What is the purpose of this struggle?
Since the dawn of civilization, conflict has never ceased.
The most frequently recorded theme in mythological epics is war.
Secondly, there are natural disasters.
Therefore, man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters.
Wu Er pondered the problem at length, but he still couldn't figure it out.
As the sun rose higher on the horizon, the golden hue of dawn faded, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
Having traveled to several places, I can say that I have inspected the spirit and demeanor of the disciples of Pengshan Sect.
After all, this operation was carried out in a hurry, and a large number of people in the sect were mobilized. Moreover, because the reason was rather special, the reason was not given directly to some of the sect members.
Therefore, it is inevitable that morale will be low, so the sect leader's inspection tour has a good effect on winning people's hearts.
Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, as if someone was riding the wind.
The commotion was caused by the excessive amount of magic power being exposed.
Wu Er looked up and saw that the person who came was his third junior brother.
These past few days, Zhang Wu has been accompanying Wu Er on his inspection tours.
The clouds on the horizon swirled and roared as Zhang Wu rapidly approached Wu Er's location.
The speed was so fast, and there was no gathering of spiritual energy, it seems that they were in a hurry.
As soon as Zhang Wu landed, Wu Er spoke first: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
Perhaps they were flying too fast, for even a cultivator like Zhang Wu couldn't help but catch his breath before speaking, "Something's happened, and it's not a small matter."
Judging from his expression, it was clear that something serious had happened; otherwise, Zhang Wu wouldn't have rushed over to find Wu Er.
For a moment, Wu Er was genuinely frightened by his flustered appearance.
They're all hundreds of years old, what could possibly frighten them like that?
"No rush, tell me slowly, I'll hold up the sky if it falls."
As the eldest disciple, Wu Er naturally uttered those words.
Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!
He has always thought this way, and he has always acted this way.
"They've declared war!" Zhang Wu said hastily. "They've announced it to the world. They've declared war."
Wu Er frowned at these words, then asked, "Which one?"
"The Transcendent Sect," Zhang Wu replied.
As expected, in recent days they first launched a surprise attack on the stronghold, followed by various other small-scale operations.
Not to mention Pengshan Sect, even other sects have taken notice; it's common knowledge. It would be unexpected if they didn't declare war soon.
But after Zhang Wu announced the name of the Chaoran Sect, he then revealed another name.
"There is also a faction that has emerged."
"Um?"
The faction that Sheng Yi was mentioned later surprised Wu Er, because Sheng Yi was the least likely to openly declare war.
If the three immortals of Zhongzhou were to be indistinguishable from one another, it would be normal for them to appear to outsiders as factions declaring war on each other.
But Xiu Xiansheng, a celestial being from the Tian Sheng sect, specifically came down from the mountain to find Wu Er, saying he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
