"Those Flood Dragons really are dogs that can never change their habit of eating filth! They've gotten so used to guarding Tianshui Sect's gates and kneeling that long, they can't even stand back up!"
Heaven and Earth Gate Master's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam as he said coldly, "So you're saying that our thousand-year arrangement in Water Mirror Sea is all going to turn to bubbles?"
Old Daoist Ma Qiuming cupped his hands and said, "Not necessarily!"
"The Three Great Demon Clans, the Three Great Pirates, and the several great families within Storm City are all people we recruited openly."
"Tianshui Sect knows this perfectly well. They also know that the Three Great Demon Clans, the Three Great Pirates, and the several great families in Storm City belong to us!"
"So we never expected them to help us much in the first place."
"Those we recruited openly can be exposed for all I care. But the hidden operatives we've cultivated within Tianshui Sect for years are as solid as a rock!"
"If we truly go to war with Tianshui Sect, we should still have at least a seventy percent chance of victory."
Old Daoist Ma Qiuming finished speaking.
"Seventy percent..." Heaven and Earth Gate Master drew a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.
A seventy percent chance of victory was already extremely high odds for doing anything.
But when it came to annihilating Tianshui Sect, seventy percent was nowhere near enough.
Heaven and Earth Gate was one of the powerful sects standing within the Imperial Authority Eighteen Provinces of Chu, with a legacy spanning more than ten thousand years.
As the saying went, "Though a centipede may die, it does not fall after death!"
A seventy percent chance still wasn't enough
