Zhu Yuanqing glanced at the guy and said irritably, "Where does this leave me? If you keep doing this, wouldn't you be just like those demonic brats, becoming a treacherous villain?"
Cheng Hou glanced at Zhu Yuanqing, shook his head and said, "We cultivators seek longevity. Although it is far from the state of carefree wandering, there is not much need to insist on this."
"That's not entirely true."
Zhu Yuanqing said no more about it. This was just his personal bottom line. Although the Nine Kingdoms Alliance was not a true righteous alliance, acting in accordance with the righteous path was the core of Zhu Yuanqing's Dao heart.
He then added, "Besides that, this person is decisive and has an extraordinary character. He has his own set of principles in his actions, roughly: if someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect, and vice versa!"
"If we push them too hard, they will inevitably change their stance. This person's methods are indeed as formidable as the rumors suggest; they should not be underestimated."
"If they turn against us, it will inevitably change the current situation in Fengxia. We currently have such an advantage, there is no need to create unnecessary trouble."
"Moreover, although it is unlikely that Da Yue will be dragged into this, there is still a considerable risk. After all, it is just a dispute among juniors and does not really involve the overall situation. So, if people are really pushed to the limit, there is still such a risk."
Cheng Hou pursed his lips upon seeing this and said nothing more.
He didn't think that the Cloud Soaring Sect could cause any trouble.
Previously, it was just a ragtag army from the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Although there were many rumors, they contained a lot of exaggeration.
While acknowledging Lin Xiuyuan's talent, they did not believe he possessed the extraordinary skills rumored to exist.
Cheng Hou felt that even if the person was driven to desperation, he would not pose much of a threat.
He could easily suppress them.
After all, their sizes are completely different.
If they really want to turn against us, what can we do?
However, since he was the one who facilitated this matter and brought many advantages and benefits to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Zhu Yuanqing is currently in charge.
After realizing that Zhu Yuanqing didn't mean that, Cheng Hou stopped talking and instead said:
"Recently, the attacks from the Northwest Demonic Path have become increasingly fierce. After several attacks, they have basically figured out the distribution of our defenses. If reinforcements arrive and the enemy's forces increase significantly, we may not be able to defend ourselves so well."
"Are you still planning to continue defending the Cloud Soaring Sect? The battle in the Lingyan Mountains is almost over, and we've gained a significant advantage. Shouldn't that be enough?!"
"Yes, that's true. Our main focus is still over there, and we weren't planning on reinforcing our troops here anyway. If we continue to resist the ever-increasing demonic army, we'll only suffer heavy casualties."
Zhu Yuanqing nodded.
They have already gained a considerable advantage. However, this is based on the premise that no reinforcements have been sent. Once reinforcements are sent, it will be impossible to gain such an advantage on the main direction.
Therefore, they never intended to fight the demonic army head-on when faced with reinforcements.
Having gained enough advantages is enough.
Now, it's about time to make way.
Otherwise, continuing to resist will result in heavy casualties here, only diminishing the advantage gained!
Half a day later.
The border defense line of Lanxiu Mountain has been completely contracted.
When the spies of the Northwest Demonic Path learned of this...
They then decided to send two armies to launch a probing attack.
After a test, it was found to be true.
After fighting for less than an hour and obtaining the result, the demonic army retreated and went back to await reinforcements.
Two days later.
The demonic army pressed in once more, and dark clouds seemed to suddenly rise in the sky.
It seems reinforcements have arrived, increasing the troop strength by more than half!
It was as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it!
