In the Council Hall
The atmosphere among the Changsheng Sect's top leaders was tense and everyone looked solemn.
Obviously, he had associated many deeper things with Lu Qingying's words.
Grandmaster Mu Yuebai frowned slightly and asked cautiously, "Where did you get the news about Huoyun Sect? Over the years, our sect has sent people to keep an eye on them, but Huoyun Sect has disappeared since they were driven out of Huoyun Island. They have completely gone into hiding and there is really no trace of them at all!"
"They hid back in the East Continent." Lu Qingying smiled and said, "The sects in the Wanxinghai Continent change all the time. Once a sect is expelled, they will flee to the East Continent for refuge. When the storm is over, they will come back with a different name. They will either hide in the East Continent and start over, or try to take back the sect."
"The Huoyun Sect has been dormant and accumulating strength since it fled the Wanxing Sea a few years ago. They not only have a secret treasure house in Dongzhou, but also control several small affiliated sects."
"The various sects in the Wanxing Sea suffered heavy losses during this beast tide. The sects in the major prefectures along the coast of Dongzhou are also ready to make a move. The Huoyun Sect is also among them. This was discovered by our Babaozhai's spies."
"They are now contacting people, recruiting soldiers, and purchasing supplies. They have caused a big stir in the black markets of various immortal cities. It is said that they have recruited several Yuanying stage people and are determined to take back Huoyun Island!"
Everyone's eyebrows twitched again when they heard this.
This is a situation where there are wolves' den in front and tigers' lair behind.
After finally getting through the beast tide with untold hardships, who would have thought that a powerful enemy like the Huoyun Sect would appear again. The hatred of seizing the mountain gate is more cruel than killing one's parents, and the fight will definitely not stop until one dies!
The Changsheng Sect just wanted to keep a low profile and develop for a few years, what should they do now?
"The Huoyun Sect used to have seven Yuanying-stage people. During the battle to seize the mountain gate, we were new here and it was difficult to kill them, so we only gave them a light punishment and did not damage their foundation."
“If they recruit a few more Nascent Soul cultivators and join forces with other forces to attack us, we will be in danger this time!”
Grandmaster Mu Yuebai sighed with a worried look on his face.
The others were also slightly shocked and looked embarrassed.
If it was the Qingnan Sect before the beast tide, it would definitely not be afraid of the Huoyun Sect. After all, there were more than 20 people in the Nascent Soul stage in the entire sect at that time. But now after the war, there are only eight people left, and three of them are seriously injured.
In the world of cultivating immortals, battles between sects are often decided by high-end combat power.
If those in the Nascent Soul stage are defeated, then no matter how many Golden Core Foundation Establishment cultivators there are, they are just worthless. One person is enough to wipe out all the disciples in the sect.
"Can we ask for help from Zixiao Holy Land?" Yu Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "We have to pay more than half of our income to them every year. Don't they care about external threats?"
"How could they possibly care?" Wei Han sneered and reminded, "The Purple Sky Holy Land would love for the sects below to fight each other every day. Anyway, no matter who occupies Huoyun Island, they have to pay tribute to them. The more fiercely the major sects fight, the more beneficial it is for their rule."
"That's right!" Lu Qingying nodded in agreement. "For tens of thousands of years, the Purple Sky Holy Land has never paid attention to the conflicts and wars between the major islands under its jurisdiction. Anyway, whoever occupies an island must pay tribute to them, so why would they go to such great lengths to protect us?"
Everyone fell silent again after hearing this.
Since they can't rely on the Zixiao Holy Land, then they are really in trouble!
"Now there are three ways to keep our sect safe!" Wei Han spoke in a deep voice at the right time.
"Three?"
Everyone's face was filled with bewilderment, with confusion flickering in their eyes.
They were all old foxes who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Faced with such an embarrassing situation, they could not think of any ideas even after racking their brains. But Wei Han could actually think of three at once?
"Oh, tell me!" Master Mu Yuebai urged in surprise.
"In fact, it's better to say that there are three options rather than three methods." Wei Han talked freely, sneering, "The first option is naturally to defend to the death. With our sect's background, if we cannot open the formation and defend to the death, it doesn't matter if the other party recruits a few more Nascent Souls, but in the end, it will be difficult to break our sect's mountain protection formation."
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"We have survived the beast tide, so it shouldn't be difficult to stop them."
“Haha, if the Huoyun Sect really had the power, they would have come to kill us long ago. Why would they form gangs everywhere? In this case, there’s no need to panic!”
Everyone's expressions relaxed a little and they all breathed a sigh of relief!
Seeing this, Wei Han reminded, "Of course, this is only the most stupid and helpless method. First, if we stubbornly defend and retreat, it will damage the reputation of our Changsheng Sect and affect our future development. Secondly, if the other party gets a weapon to break the formation, we will be unable to resist. Therefore, we must not choose to defend unless it is absolutely necessary."
"The second option is to take the initiative. They can spend money to hire Yuanying cultivators, so we can just spend money to hire a few first-rate forces to take action, lure the enemy in and destroy them."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped again when they heard this.
Obviously, everyone was shocked by Wei Han's boldness.
He actually thought of hiring a few first-rate sects to help. How many spirit stones would that cost?
"You uncles may not know." Lu Qingying smiled and said, "Brother Wei is not joking. As long as you have spirit stones and are willing to spend money on the Wanxing Sea, anything can be done. Especially after the beast tide war, there are many dilapidated sects with scarce resources. There are also some large and medium-sized alliances of independent cultivators who are keen to take on some work as thugs."
She just stopped at that point, but everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that the Wanxing Sea is no different from the former Danghunzhou. The rich are extremely wealthy, while the poor can only make money through side channels. The world of immortal cultivation is no exception.
"We made a good profit this time. The 100 million high-grade spirit stones given by Wei Han alone are enough to hire eight or ten forces to serve us." Lu Yuanheng took over the conversation and said jokingly: "No matter how powerful the Huoyun Sect is, can it compete with us in financial strength? If not, my Babaozhai will give us another 30 million!"
"Hahaha!"
Bursts of laughter suddenly broke out in the meeting hall.
The tense atmosphere was immediately swept away, and these words made people feel a lot more relaxed.
"But this method also has disadvantages." Wei Han continued, "After all, if we spend all the profits from the Beast Tide to hire people, the disciples in the sect will definitely be resentful and dissatisfied. After all, these should be distributed to them. It would be disadvantageous to regret it now."
"Besides, it's still unknown whether the hired people can be trusted. It's never appropriate to rely on others, so this choice is not a good one!"
Wei Han's words once again poured cold water on everyone's hearts.
Grandmaster Mu Yuebai saw this and said with a smile: "Just tell me the third choice!"
"The third is naturally to find a backer, use its power, and deter external enemies!" Wei Han said lightly: "As long as we find a big backer, how can the Fire Cloud Sect dare to act recklessly? Wouldn't all the crises disappear into thin air?"
"A powerful backer?" Everyone was stunned again.
