Strike a snake without killing it, and it will turn around and bite you. To strike a snake, you have to hit it seven inches below the head.
The Chahar Tribe had been ordering its subordinate tribes to launch frequent attacks on the Earth Cities under Sky Phoenix City's jurisdiction, killing several Primordial Unity Golden Immortals. The Nangong Immortal Clan did not refrain from retaliating because it lacked the desire to, but because it wanted to hurt the Chahar Tribe.
No matter how many Primordial Unity Golden Immortals the subordinate tribes lost, the Chahar Tribe would not feel the pain. If the Nangong Immortal Clan sent Primordial Unity Golden Immortals to deal with the Chaos Beasts attacking the Earth Cities, its own losses would also be considerable, and it would expose its strength, while the Chahar Tribe's losses would be negligible.
The Chahar Tribe had been using its subordinate forces to wear down the Nangong Immortal Clan's strength, and its scheme had been ringing like a well-struck abacus.
The Nangong Immortal Clan had never retaliated, creating the impression that it was timid and unwilling to fight.
The Chahar Tribe's higher-ups certainly would never have imagined that the usually timid Nangong Immortal Clan would dare lead people in ambushing the reinforcements they had sent out.
If the Chahar Tribe did not send troops to support the frontline, Nangong Changqing would use the Law of Space to take the assembled cultivators away, then join forces with the Immortals from Hulan City in attacking the Chaos Beasts besieging the city from both front and rear, killing them.
"What? The Chahar Tribe? Aren't there too few of us? Without a Formation protecting us, we won't be a match for Chaos Beasts at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Stage."
Lin Tianba was full of worry.
