"How are we supposed to stop them from opening the realm passage? Those Mahayana cultivators are watching us like hawks. They're probably just waiting for us to show ourselves and walk into their trap!" Northern Dipper said solemnly.
In his view, Akatsuki had fallen into a dilemma. If they went out, they would be hunted down. If they stayed hidden, they could only wait for those people to open the realm passage. Once it was opened, Akatsuki would have an exposed weakness. They could hide, but where could all those people from the Ninja Sect go? Were they really supposed to stand by and watch the Ninja Sect be destroyed?
In truth, everyone understood that whether the realm passage would actually be opened was no longer important. Merely spreading this news was enough to make them restless.
"We have weaknesses, but those major factions have weaknesses too. Mahayana cultivators may be powerful, but they cannot watch over their entire faction. They have many scattered outposts outside their main bases, some of which are no less important than their sect headquarters. And those places do not have Mahayana cultivators protecting them!" Mu Yuyi said coldly.
The reason they feared the major factions opening the realm passage was that the Ninja Sect's members were not strong enough and could easily be captured or killed. That was their weakness. Since that was the case, they would strike first at the enemy's weakness and make them afraid to open the realm passage.
"Black Tortoise, Jade Maiden, I'm giving you one day to sort out the distribution of these factions. Find the branches or cities under their control that have the weakest defenses but are of the greatest importance. Tomorrow, we'll split up into teams of two, with each team responsible for destroying one city.
